Account

The witness and his girlfriend were camped on the east side of Wheatfields Lake with relatives, awake in their tent caring for a child before dawn. They heard loud low roars from near the west side campground repeated 5-6 times for about 10 seconds each, followed by dogs barking, then one more call about 30 minutes later. The witness stayed awake while the others slept, and companions in camp said the next morning they had not heard the calls.
