Scream near Moab, Utah (2022)

The witness and a companion hiked several miles into the La Sal Mountains to camp and hunt deer. During daytime glassing a large aspen snapped and fell near them on a calm day. That night around 2 a.m. a loud multi-pitched scream sounded from a hillside for about two hours while something circled their tent close enough to hear breathing. They found no tracks in the morning and later moved camp.

Scream in Utah (2022)

After hearing a prolonged scream like a woman dying in the distance, the witness checked the outward-facing camera and saw a large figure on the garage roof reaching down with an arm. When infrared light hit it, the figure quickly lifted its arm and head to stare at the camera, showing a broad mouth, lips, nose and eyes. The witness stopped watching and felt shaken.

Possible vocalizations heard near East Canyon Reservoir

The witness reports hearing very loud recurring screams and hoot-like sounds coming from canyons near a relative's home in northern Utah over several years, first paying attention to them while camping overnight with a young relative. The sounds are described as fierce, deep, growling and primate-like with a low-frequency component, with calls lasting up to about 15 seconds in series of five or six, sometimes followed by whoops, heard at dusk or night from a mile or so away. Other family members are reported to have heard the same vocalizations over about ten years. The witness, described as a hunter familiar with native animal sounds, found alleged bigfoot recordings similar but not exactly the same.

Possible bigfoot scream heard by hikers in Rock Canyon, in the Wasatch Mountains

Four companions on a nighttime hike in a canyon stopped when they heard an extremely loud distant sound lasting 15-20 seconds that echoed through the mountains. The sound began like a distant motorcycle and shifted into a mechanical scream, frightening the group into running down to the valley bottom. They could not identify the source, and the reporter later felt an online Bigfoot scream recording was the closest match.

Near Marysvale - family at a campfire is stalked by a large screaming animal ; possible tracks found

In April 1999 the witness and family were gathered around a campfire at night near a stream in the Tushar Mountains when they heard loud branch-breaking from the woods across the stream for several minutes. The sounds were followed by a human-like screaming cry that sent several children running to a nearby cabin. The witness, described as an avid hunter, said the cry matched no known local animal and thought a human prank was possible but unlikely.

Frightened, they hastily packed their tent and left the area by truck in the early morning without ever seeing the source.

Elk hunters hear screams in remote canyon below

Two companions were elk hunting on a hillside before sunrise. They heard extremely loud, piercing screams from across the canyon repeating several times.

Scream in Utah (1984)

The witness, then about 12, was deer hunting with his father, brother and uncles at a mountain camp. Over several nights a loud screaming vocalization was heard around 9 p.m. and the uncles repeatedly chased the source uphill. One uncle confronted a very tall hair-covered biped at close range and fired over its head, while later nights brought a spotlight glimpse of a large dark mass, a small 4-foot figure, answering calls from another ridge, uprooted trees and reddish hair tufts, before the activity moved away.

Woman recalls childhood experience of a terrifying night-time encounter while camping near Kennecott Copper mine

A family group of six was inside a large tent at night during a thunderstorm when they smelled an overpowering odor and heard loud screaming approach. A large hairy figure stood over the tent, visible in lightning flashes, screaming for several minutes while the occupants huddled in fear. An adult companion left the tent, apparently confronted the creature amid scuffling and growling, then returned pale and blocked the zipper until dawn when the group left.

Scream in Utah

The witness, working as a hunting guide in southeastern Utah, waited alone for deer in a canyon in the evening. He heard prolonged loud screaming that frightened two distant guides away. After dark with a dead flashlight, he hiked up the canyon trail toward the sound and faced a tall silhouette blocking the trail before it moved aside and let him pass.
