Class B First-hand BFRO #26149

Fishermen experience possible early morning vocalizations and rock throwing at East Fork Lake

6 June 2009 between 3-4am Batavia, Clermont County, Ohio 2 witnesses

Account

The witness and a relative were fishing at a lake in the early morning when they heard a series of unusual sounds from the woods. The sounds progressed from owl-like hoots to monkey-like chatter, then to repeated loud low screams or deep howls, followed by dog-like barking and yelping. They also heard what sounded like large rocks splashing into the water at a distance. Feeling increasingly uneasy, they left the area a short time later.
