Horse trainer hears frightening vocalizations near Shelton
Account
The witness was tending a burn pile in darkness on a rural property after caring for horses when three loud calls were heard from toward a creek and wooded hillside within about 100 yards. The sounds were described as similar to a howler monkey and crane mix with a low rumble that was felt more than heard, and the source could not be seen. Feeling watched, the witness left for the house, and horses were reported as restless afterward.
