BFRO #9438: Couple hears back and forth vocalizations, between 5 and 6 a.m., where the Harrison and Chehalis rivers join

📍 Location

📝 Description

I was awakened this morning (Oct 3/04) about 5 am (we live right where the Harrison and Chehalis Rivers join in SW B.C,) by the sound of some kind of large animals calling back and forth to each other. It terrified me as I couldn't identify it. I listened as they seemed to move across our property and out onto what is referred to here as the "Chehalis Flats". This lasted for about 20 min. Our dog was absolutely frozen to the spot on the end of our bed. My husband woke just after this and I asked if he had heard the sounds and he said no but just then they started again. Even though they were off in the distance he heard them too. My husband was born and raised in this part of B.C. and I have been here for over 35 years and neither of us has ever heard an animal like this. I went online trying to identify what it may have been and when all "reasonable" ideas where exhausted I thought I would try "the not so ordinary" options. I have been asked to describe the sound but it was so unusual that it is hard to do. After searching I came across a site that had "sounds" recorded of sasquatch calls and found that there were 3 recordings of exactly what I heard!
