Class B First-hand BFRO #18375

Witness and his girlfriend hear strange sounds near Magnetawan

July 2004 9 to 10 pm, getting dark Magnetawan, Ontario 4 witnesses

Account

The witness was camping with a companion and the companion's parents in northern Ontario. Around 9-10 pm as it grew dark, the group heard a loud, clear vocalization first thought to be a wolf or coyote but then judged to be neither. The sound continued for an extended period. The next day the witness compared wildlife recordings and found a BFRO howl recording to be the closest match, though quieter than what was heard.
