Vacationer hears possible howls at night near Henderson Lake

Account

The witness was sleeping in a cabin with family and awoke in bed during the night. Through an open window they heard a very loud, unfamiliar prolonged howl coming from right outside. They initially thought it might be an elk but later, after hearing recordings, wondered if it could have been a Bigfoot. No one else in the cabin reportedly heard the sound.
