Vocalizations heard near Stanislaus River, CA

On a moonlit December night, the witness hiked down an old logging road to collect sugar-pine cones and paused to enjoy the surroundings. A loud, melodious moaning wail began very close by and lasted about half a minute, rising in pitch before fading. The call was then answered in sequence by two or three more distant calls from across the river canyon. The witness left quietly without seeing anything and later wondered if the calls were a possible encounter.

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
