Class B First-hand BFRO #7909

Vocalizations Heard Near Sighting During Same Time Period

October 2002 around 2 a.m. Elizabethtown, Essex County, New York 2 witnesses

Account

The witness and a family member were on their home porch in the early morning when a loud commotion broke out on the hill beside the house. They heard a series of loud screams unlike any known animal, followed by something large running through the woods and breaking branches. Both were shaken, and a next-day search of the hard, gravelly ground found no tracks.
