Rural resident hears knocks, howls & finds a footprint near Wellborn

Account

A few days after finding a large footprint near a swamp by his home, the witness was inside his house just after dark when a very long loud howl was heard. Shortly after it ended he heard three wood-on-wood knocks, knocked back the same pattern from his railing, and received another knock response. A short time later a second, lower-pitched and more distant vocalization was heard, which the witness felt came from a second source.
