Class B First-hand BFRO #5123

Loud calls, rock/boulder throwing disturbs campers

10 October 2002 approx 7:30-8:00 PM Dora, Douglas County, Missouri 2 witnesses

Account

The witness and a companion were sitting at their campsite campfire at night when they heard loud canine-like howl and whoop calls from multiple directions, approaching to within about 35 yards. The calls were described as deeper and louder than coyote or wolf, followed by fast gutteral sounds likened to a language or argument between two animals. The pair ruled out known animals and a human prank after hearing a second matching voice upstream. The vocal exchange lasted about five to seven minutes before the animals appeared to move away upstream over a bluff.
