Campers retreat to their vehicles due to a loud unknown vocalization near High Point State Park
Account
A group camping overnight in a wooded campground heard a very loud, close vocalization that began as a growl and shifted into a prolonged howl. Frightened by the unfamiliar sound, the group retreated to their vehicles for safety. Years later the reporter concluded the sound resembled televised alleged Sasquatch calls and did not match black bear sounds.
