Scream Plumas County Clear all
17 October 1998 Plumas County, California Class B #2212

Horrible screaming vocalizations heard

The witness and companions were gathered around a large campfire after dinner when a companion asked for quiet. They then heard loud, repeated screaming from above the basin that the witness matched to a Bigfoot sound from a radio-show recording. After a few minutes they fired a shotgun twice, after which the sounds stopped and nothing was found.

Scream
10 June 1998 Plumas County, California Class B #2211

Fourteen inch by six inch tracks found

The witness was day-hiking alone in a remote wilderness area when they noticed a strong sickly-sweet, garlic-like odor they could not source. In the same area they heard a screeching vocalization they did not recognize as bear, mountain lion, or raptor. They also found large footprints near where they had eaten lunch, measuring about 14 by 6 inches, which they felt were not bear tracks but could not positively identify due to hard rocky ground.

The Database of Unexplained Encounters. Claims are recorded as claims: the Anomadex catalogues what people reported, where it was reported, and how sure I am that it was read correctly. It does not rule on what they saw.

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
