Account
The witness stepped into the yard on a Sunday night and heard frantic dog barking and wolf howling overlain by loud, prolonged wailing unlike any known animal. The wailing source held position briefly then moved rapidly northeast around the lake, causing underbrush disturbance and loud ice crushing before falling silent. The background animals also fell silent, then erupted again minutes later without the wailing resuming.
