Recording: What kind of animal is this?

A listener writes “What kind of animal is this? My wife and I live out in the Elsie, OR area off Highway 103. We live in what the south would call a “holler”, basically at the end of it, and cow creek runs through our property. State forest backs up to our yard and a trail goes up to a connecting forest service road.

Last night my wife said she heard something sketch when she went out on the porch. (9:20pm).

I went out and started recording on voice memo. This recording I sent you was the best out of them, It yelled for 45 mins. It would yell and we could hear another answer across the mountain side but maybe a couple miles away but it then stopped answering and the yelling got closer.

In the recording you can hear it get closer I mean very quickly from miles away to quarter mile in like 30 seconds, you can hear sticks breaking, maybe another animal but still scary. it then went off very quickly to the neighbors that are about a quarter mile further back and are the last house at the end of the dead road and they are completely surrounded by forest, you can hear their dogs start to freak out.

The neighbors said cougar but it sounds weird and more of a howl. I guess they’ve seen a wolf out here that the forest service says doesn’t exist. Either way I don’t know and it was weird, all our animals ran away when they heard it and the dogs inside seemed freaked out. Neighbors said all their dogs were weird and on guard today. Let me know your thoughts, probably just a known animal but I wanted to run it by you just in case.

    I recorded the exact same thing… back in 1982 in North Eastern Pennsylvania.

    There was a whole lot of “standard” Sasquatch activity in the area at the time as well.

    Talk to your neighbors, I have no doubt some of them have seen something as well.
