Recollection of hearing frightening vocalizations in the Fort Worth Nature Center

Account

The witness and two companions had parked by a river at night when they heard three extremely loud scream-like howls from the woods behind them. The sounds were described as loud, long, echoing, and angry. Frightened, all three got into the truck and drove away quickly to the highway without seeing the source.
