Class B First-hand BFRO #49480

Campers hear possible vocalizations on Yellowwood Lake

8 August 2015 around 1:00am Nashville, Brown County, Indiana 2 witnesses

Account

The witness and his wife were asleep in their camper at a campground when they were woken by very loud, deep, long howls from very close by. The close howls occurred twice, and each time a similar call answered from across the lake. They stayed awake listening but heard nothing further and felt the sounds were not a dog, coyote, or human.
