Class B First-hand BFRO #17317

Possible vocalization heard by fishermen at Tappan Lake

July 2004 around 11 pm Dennison, Tuscarawas County, Ohio 5 witnesses

Account

The witness and companions were night-fishing when they heard an extremely loud scream from the hillside described as woman-like but different. After a flashlight search revealed nothing, the sound repeated three more times followed by loud pain-like howling. The reporter's group and two nearby anglers all left quickly, saying they had never heard such sounds.
