Account
While walking across the dam at Wishon Reservoir with older relatives, the group heard dogs barking below in the drainage. They heard two or three dogs chasing something that screamed like an agitated chimpanzee for two to three minutes. Movement in brush suggested a chase, but nothing was seen.
