Class A First-hand BFRO #1751

Latenight encounter while camping, then morning vocalizations heard

October 1998 0200 to 0600 am Enon, Ohio, Clark County, Clark County, Ohio 2 witnesses

Account

Two boys camping on a wooded ridge left their tent in the early morning and noticed a large bipedal shape moving in nearby trees. They watched it stand and observe them from about 30 feet away but could only discern a dark, fur-covered outline in low light. Frightened, they returned to the tent. Around dawn they heard a strange howling from down the ridge that did not sound like a dog or coyote.
