Account
The witness and a companion were sleeping in a tent at a campground when a loud howling scream woke the witness. After listening to several repetitions, the witness woke the companion, who also listened, and they went outside into bright moonlight. They perceived the sound moving downriver while nearby cattle became agitated, then the sound faded and was not heard again that night.
