BFRO #40345: Seasoned outdoors couple hear possible vocalizations while gathering firewood north of Campbell River

📍 Location

📝 Description

At approx 5:00 pm March 12th 2013, Campbell River, B.C. my husband and I were out getting a load of firewood on a logging road North of the city. We had an experience in the woods neither of us are able to explain. We are both very familiar with the sounds and local animals as we have grown up on the West Coast. My husband being a West Cost logger, knowing the woods well, and myself a camper all my life. My husband started off by chopping wood lower down on the logging road. It was overcast and raining lightly at the time. We moved our way up the road gathering firewood. When we got to the top my husband turned the truck around and once again got out to cut wood, when we heard a whooping two-toned call from the woods to one side of us. It was sounding so piercingly clear, it carried through all around. My husband called over and asked me if I heard that and as I was getting out of the truck the call was made again. Suddenly from the other side to where my husband stood a slightly higher pitched response rang out from the trees. What now seemed to take place was some sort of communication between two of what seemed to be intelligent things. This continued on for approx. 1 min. where by the end we were sure we were listening to some kind of conversation and that somehow we were not alone. I am 50 years-old and for the first time felt a fear standing there in the woods. My husband, 55, now looking over his shoulder to pick up pieces of wood. As suddenly as the sounds started the woods fell silent again. I did notice that by the end of this communication, the one on the left of where I was standing had traveled away slightly by the clarity of the sounds. I also noticed that while this was going on all the other sounds of the woods, birds, frogs etc. seemed to be silent, but by the time we worked our way back down the logging road collecting the wood, I could once again hear the natural sounds of the woods again, which in itself seemed strange. We have been trying to logically figure out what this could have been since happening yesterday, and only know what it could not have been not what it could have been. It wasn't a wolf, coyote, bear, elk, dear, cougar the list could go on. I only know I have no answers as to what we heard.
