Vocalization near Morgantown, Pennsylvania (1881)

1881 Morgantown, Berks County, Pennsylvania

Account

A party out driving with horses through a hill pass had a lead horse become unmanageable and show terror as a wild cry came from the thicket, refusing to pass. Local farmers also reported livestock depredations and peculiar footprints in snow that searchers could not resolve. The newspaper presented the story without conclusion.
