Three teens in tree platform attract something using coyote call

September 1982 night, about 8:30 PM MORGANTOWN, Morgan County, Indiana 3 witnesses

Account

The witness and two companions sat on a raised platform in the woods at night while a coyote call imitating a wounded rabbit was blown for about half an hour. They then heard something circling the platform in dense underbrush with loud footsteps and deep grunting while the surrounding woods went silent. They could not see the source at the edge of the flashlight beam and eventually climbed down and ran to a nearby house.
