Memory told of a possible encounter while coon hunting near Houston

October 1975 around 9:30 pm on a clear, moonlit night Houston, Houston County, Minnesota 1 witness

Account

On a moonlit night in late October 1975, the witness was coon hunting along a ridge when both dogs became frightened and stayed by him. He heard a low moaning sound, a rock-throw-like crash into a brush pile, two tree-strike-like impacts, and something moving through leaves down a steep wooded slope. He called out but saw nothing and ended the hunt.
