Two hunters hear nighttime vocalizations near Darrington

Two people were settling to sleep in sleeping bags at a roadside camp late at night. They heard leaves and branches breaking and screaming from all around them and smelled a strong foul odor they did not recognize. Unable to see anything in the darkness without a flashlight, they grabbed their rifles, threw their bags in the car, and left.

Possible Vocalizations heard in Southern Alberta

One evening in summer, the witness sat on the back deck of a home on the coulee banks and heard loud, garbled, female-like vocalizations from below the embankment toward the river. The sounds first suggested someone in trouble, then a mountain lion, but later the witness felt they closely matched a chatter recording. No creature was seen.

At Sabbathday Point, Family Reports strange sounds near their cabin

Over two-week periods in 1992 and 1993, the witness repeatedly heard loud nighttime sounds near a lakeside cabin, described as whistling, chattering, screams and deep thumping lasting one to four minutes. The sounds seemed to move quickly from a mountaintop to the road area about 200 feet away, possibly involving two callers. The witness looked out with a flashlight but saw nothing and remained inside out of fear.
