Account
The witness and a companion were hiking up a creek drainage with a dog while using a metal detector. They heard a loud, unfamiliar grumbling and roaring vocalization from across the creek and up a bank, but saw nothing at the source. The dog stopped and looked to the witnesses for direction, and both people were frightened and stayed quiet for the rest of the hike.
