September fourth, Monday, for a week California EP 395

Whistle in California

The witness came back on September fourth for a week with trail cameras and night vision to document tracks. Midweek a rock was thrown down toward him on a trail and later something snapped a large branch and moved stealthily in a thicket with a wet animal odor. Late one night something whistled shrilly three times from inside camp across his fire, and next morning he found a fresh track by his tailgate; a friend joined for the last two days and they found more tracks and unrecognized scat.

Scream in California

The witness returned in mid-July to a small camp near a meadow and dry creek for three nights.

He slept in the cab of his truck in fear and found a fresh fifteen-inch track and a muddy footprint with toes near a spring pipe.
