Possible vocalizations heard by residents in the "Bridgewater Triangle"

Account

In July 1979 the witness reports hearing very loud howling and screaming approaching through dense woods behind the house on three consecutive nights. Each episode involved repeated 20-30 second vocalizations with loud crashing through brush, while other night sounds stopped. On the third night the witness turned on roof floodlights when the source was behind the house; the sound stopped briefly then crashed away quickly in the opposite direction. The witness did not see the source and reports hearing nothing similar after 1979.
