A loud, unknown vocalization startles solo hiker on shore of Goat Lake
Account
The witness was sunbathing alone on a log at the brushy end of a lake in the mid-afternoon. A very loud, sustained howl rising from low to high pitch was heard at very close range, ending in a hoop-like sound, followed by silence. The witness saw nothing in the dense brush, quickly dressed, and hiked back to the vehicle while repeatedly looking back.
