Account

On the afternoon of October 17, 2012, the witness and a companion were walking on the Appalachian Trail near their rented cabin when they heard a very low, bone-rattling growl lasting a few seconds. The witness reported feeling the sound in the chest and joints and found no match after comparing it to known animal sounds. Nothing was seen, and the pair quickly left the area with their dog.
