Follow-up on Detroit Lake sound report
Bob
and I went to investigate a vocal report at Detroit Lake,
Marion County, OR. The date of the report was July 21, 1999
and was originally investigated by Todd Neiss and Joe Beelart.
Read the original report here.
We
talked to several local campground patrons and most laughed,
though one of the campground hosts had heard about the screams
and attributed them to a bear (I worked with bears at Wildlife
Safari. I have NEVER heard a bear "scream").
That
evening Bob and I pulled the truck up a logging road and
stopped halfway up a ridge in the middle of a clearcut.
There was a small pullout, so we parked there. The clearcut
continued into the ravine below us and, at the bottom of
the ravine, met with old growth timber.
We
fixed up a bed in the canopy and made dinner. At dusk, as
we put away the dishes and made coffee, we began to hear
loud cracking in the ravine below us. Branches broke loudly;
it sounded as if something were pacing back and forth just
in the treeline. We continued to hear these sounds throughout
the evening. The noises finally subsided at about midnight.
