Occasional incidents from 1970's up to recent years, near Findley Lake

Account

Around 1975 the witness was at a hunting camp late at night with two relatives when they heard a loud strange call moving through the woods. They moved to a nearby field to try to intercept the source as it approached to about 100 yards. The calling then stopped and nothing was seen or crossed the road, so they waited without further result.
