Account
The witness was awake in a tent with family near the James River in the early morning hours. Over about 30 minutes the witness heard about five loud, strange howls from a distance that varied in pitch, intensity, and apparent location, with two seeming closer. The rest of the family slept while the family dog barked softly at each sound, and the witness loaded a shotgun and stayed alert until morning.
