Man hears characteristic howls in early morning hours near Mechanicstown
Account
The witness and a companion were camping in a backyard around 3 a.m. when they heard loud howling from over the hills that continued for minutes. They first mistook it for distant dogs and then a bear. The next day the witness heard a televised 1994 howl recording from a nearby county and became convinced it was the exact same sound.
