Trapper experiences nighttime vocalizations
Account
The witness was baiting coon traps on a powerline edge after dark when he heard something approaching in the woods. The source stayed about 10 yards inside the treeline pacing back and forth and did not emerge. When the witness shone a flashlight toward the sounds he could see nothing for undergrowth, heard whooping, and the source ran off.
