Campers hear strange late night sounds near Florence Lake
Account
After fishing, the witness and a companion set up camp for the night and sat by a campfire after dark. They heard a low horn-like sound that seemed to approach from a ledge behind the camp. They then briefly saw a pair of pale glowing eyes in that direction. After a warning shout and a warning shot, they quickly packed up, extinguished the fire, and drove home.
