Class B First-hand BFRO #430

Brothers hear howl while trailblazing

15 August 1981 morning about 6 am Inglis, Levy County, Florida 2 witnesses

Account

Two brothers were trailblazing through dense brush at the edge of a marshy swamp in the morning when they heard a very deep, loud howl that echoed. The sound then changed to match a purported Bigfoot scream recording the witness knew, continuing for about half an hour. They also believed they heard a faint answering call from elsewhere in the swamp.
