Vocalization near Polk County (2000)

Account

The guest, his father, and fellow investigator camped in East Texas to listen for vocalizations. Overnight moans appeared to circle their camp. Around 4 a.m. a loud guttural growl erupted, the guest mimicked it back and forth, heard a second individual behind it, then heard it scream and break branches leaving.
