Characteristic vocalization heard by hunter on Hayden Mountain

The witness and a companion were archery hunting in high-elevation basins in western Colorado when they heard a single, extremely loud scream lasting several seconds from the direction of their camp. They initially attributed the sound to a mountain lion, but acquaintances who hunt mountain lions did not recognize the described sound. Years later, after hearing a purported Bigfoot vocalization on television, the witness reconsidered the 1996 incident as possibly Bigfoot-related.

A quick ask from the person behind the Anomadex: if you allow analytics, Google Analytics shows me which places, phenomena and searches you're most curious about. That tells me which regions and sources to add next and what to make easier to find. It never sees your name or anything you send me, and nothing is set unless you say yes. Privacy
