Class B First-hand BFRO #10284

Vocalizations heard and rocks thrown at fisherman and family on Blue River

June 2004 well after dark Fredricksburg, Crawford County, Indiana 3 witnesses

Account

Three family members were night-fishing from a riverbank lit by a lantern when large objects began splashing into the water upstream, landing progressively closer over about 12 to 15 minutes. They never saw the objects or the thrower and heard no movement despite listening and sweeping with a search light. They had earlier heard distant high-pitched screams, and after a final close splash threw spray onto the bank they left on ATVs. The account was submitted by a coworker of one witness, not by a witness directly.
