Camper hears vocalizations near Meacham, region with history of "Umatilla Screamer."
The witness was camping with family when early-morning vocalizations described as growls leading to screams and whoops were heard repeating three times from a forested ravine. The family dog refused to leave camp and prolonged cracking of large downed branches was then heard for about ninety minutes without any animal being seen. After the cracking stopped abruptly, the dog investigated and normal animal sounds resumed.
Woman describes possible encounter while elk hunting near Pilot Rock
The witness and a relative were waiting in dense brush while bugling for elk when they heard approaching knocking, rustling and vocal sounds and noticed a strong unpleasant odor. They left the hiding spot as crashing sounds followed them uphill. Other members of the hunting party later said they had seen a figure walking on the hill where the pair had not been. The group later returned to the site and found unusual scat.
