Account
The witness reports hearing an unusual, unidentifiable howl on many quiet nights in a rural hollow, usually with a relative. The sound was faint and distant, echoing from a mile or two away, and was recognized when listening to Ohio recordings on the website. No creature was seen and no matching tracks were found.
