Marine veteran hears strange howls late at night near Acworth

August 2011 around 0200 Dallas, Paulding County, Georgia 1 witness

Account

Around 2 a.m. in late August 2011, the witness stepped onto his mother's back deck in Paulding County, Georgia to smoke. From the woods behind the house he heard a loud, deep howl repeated several times over about five minutes. Unable to match it to known wildlife or other sources, he went inside frightened and later found online howl recordings he felt matched what he heard.
