Account

The witness was sleeping on the west bank of Chopaka Lake in June 1994 when awakened around 2-3am by a very loud, long call echoing across the lake. The call was described as lasting about 10 seconds each time and shifting from a low bellow to a snarl to a high screech, coming from the northwest corner of the lake. The witness's companions slept through the sound that night.
