Account
The witness and his wife repeatedly heard a nighttime vocalization from home that the witness says matched recordings on a Bigfoot website. Each episode lasted a few minutes, caused their dog to growl and bark, and was followed quickly by coyotes howling. They were typically asleep and were woken by the sound. The witness had previously assumed it was a hurt animal and now says he will not investigate it.
