Account

The witness and a companion were in bed talking in the early morning when they heard a distant loud howl/moan that rose in pitch for several seconds. The sound repeated a second time slightly longer, with an echo afterward. The witness said it did not sound mechanical, like a siren, or like a known animal such as a wolf or coyote.
