Class B First-hand BFRO #65880

"Ohio howls" heard not far from where recording was obtained in 1994

11 April 2020 about 11:30 pm Raccoon Township, Beaver County, Pennsylvania 1 witness

Account

Late at night the witness sat alone by an outdoor fire when he heard a loud, powerful howling sound coming from the wooded valley below. The sound repeated several times over about a minute and seemed to be projected in different directions. He judged it unlike familiar local animals and listened for another half hour without hearing it again.
