Campers hear moaning howl at Waldo Lake at night

October 1992 about 4 am Oakridge, Lane County, Oregon 2 witnesses

Account

While tent camping with his wife, the witness was awakened around 4 a.m. by a prolonged moaning howl lasting 20-30 minutes. Their dog growled and a nearby camper's dogs barked, and the nearby camper left hurriedly before dawn. The next day the witness found no sign, but later felt an Ohio moan-howl recording matched what they heard.
