Woman Records Mysterious Siren-like Calls at Remote BC Cabin

There's something about a quiet cabin in the woods that gets under your skin in ways city living never could. The kind of silence that isn't really silence at all, but a living, breathing thing that watches you back. That's exactly the vibe that came through in a recent interview over on the Creek Devil YouTube channel, hosted by longtime field researcher William Jevning. He sat down with a witness named Don, who had an experience back in August 2019 that still gives them chills to talk about.
Don owns a cabin in a remote part of British Columbia, the kind of place where you might see a dozen people on a nearby trail in three and a half years. One evening, Don stepped outside to grab something from the car and heard something that stopped them cold. Not a person yelling, not an animal call, but something entirely other. Two distinct voices calling back and forth across the tree line, separated by a river and a sheer rock face. The sound was a combination of a whistle, a howl, and a scream, but none of those things individually. Don described it as a siren call, something no human throat could produce.
Here's where it gets really interesting. Don ran inside, grabbed a phone, and came back out to record. By that point, the calls had moved. Not just a little, but dramatically. Whatever was making those sounds had crossed the river and was now halfway up the mountain, a distance Don estimated at around 500 feet, in just a couple of minutes. The terrain is described as nearly impassable for humans, with a rock face and untouched forest. The speed of travel was, in Don's words, shockingly fast.
The recording itself made it onto the channel, and Jevning mentioned cleaning it up for clarity. Don spent the next year and a half searching online for anything that sounded similar and came up empty. No deer, elk, moose, or any other known animal matched what was captured on that phone.
But the vocalizations weren't the only strange thing happening around that cabin. A few weeks before Don's encounter, family members had been visiting. The cousin's husband and two boys walked up the trail and were hit with what he described as an absolute stench, like rotting garbage, with no visible source. He turned right around and got the boys out of there. Spooked doesn't even begin to cover it.
Then there's the dog. The neighbors rent a house on the property and have a mixed breed bear hunting dog, part curillion, part pit bull, a beautiful but fiercely protective animal. The night Don heard the calls, that dog was outside. And he was completely silent. No barking, no whimpering, no scratching at the door. Just sitting there, quiet as stone. The following night, coyotes circled the property and that same dog was out barking and defending his territory like nothing was wrong. The contrast is hard to ignore.
For those unfamiliar with Sasquatch research, vocalizations are one of the most commonly reported phenomena alongside sightings. Witnesses often describe sounds that don't fit neatly into any known animal category, whistles, whoops, screams, and sometimes combinations that seem designed for long-distance communication across dense terrain. The fact that two distinct voices were calling back and forth, moving in parallel, suggests some form of coordinated behavior. And the reaction of the bear hunting dog is consistent with reports from other witnesses who describe domestic animals going completely silent in the presence of something they instinctively recognize as a threat or at least something far above them on the food chain.
What makes this particular account stand out is the audio evidence. Don managed to capture something on a phone, and while the recording got cut short when a call came in about a grizzly bear incident nearby, there's enough there to give listeners something to chew on. Combined with the corroborating smell report from family members and the dog's unusual behavior, it paints a picture of an area that was very much occupied by something other than the usual cast of characters.
Jevning, who has been in the field for over 40 years and is a two-time witness himself, brought up similar accounts he's heard over the years, including a recent interview with a gentleman in Alberta whose cleaned-up audio featured scream barks with hissing. These kinds of vocalizations don't get a lot of airtime online, which makes accounts like Don's all the more valuable.
If this kind of thing floats your boat, the full interview is worth a listen. Creek Devil has built a solid reputation for giving witnesses space to tell their stories in their own words, and this one is no exception. Don's account is detailed, thoughtful, and clearly shaped by someone who spent a long time trying to make sense of something that refuses to fit into any neat category. Sometimes the most compelling evidence isn't a blurry photo or a shaky video, but a voice on a recording that sounds like nothing this world has a name for.
