Group of friends hear possible howls near the Ozark National Forest
Account
The witness and three companions were house-sitting north of Russellville. While going outside for breaks between midnight and about 3 a.m., they repeatedly heard a distant moaning-howl in groups that agitated local dogs and horses. Unable to identify the sound at the time, they later compared it to an Ohio moaning-howl recording and judged it to match.
