Night fisherman has possible encounter at the Cobble Mountain Reservoir

The witness was fishing alone by low water late at night when heavy footsteps approached through brush. The witness saw eyeshine and a dark shoulder-like silhouette and then heard a loud high-pitched shrieking howl. Frightened, the witness abandoned fishing gear and ran back to the car.

Howl in Massachusetts

The witness was walking out with two companions and a dog after hearing a howl. The witness glanced back and saw its back moving along the top of a stone wall. When the group made noise, it raised its front feet onto the wall and peered at them. They kept walking and did not see or hear it after the wall.

A quick ask from the person behind the Anomadex: if you allow analytics, Google Analytics shows me which places, phenomena and searches you're most curious about. That tells me which regions and sources to add next and what to make easier to find. It never sees your name or anything you send me, and nothing is set unless you say yes. Privacy
