Man recalls hearing strange howls while camping in High Point State Park
Account
The witness was camping with two young siblings near a lake when they heard a loud prolonged howl from a hillside at dusk. The same sound was heard again closer after dark and a third time very loudly in the middle of the night, waking them. The witness did not see the source and years later associated the sound with alleged Bigfoot howls heard on television.
