Couple hear possible moan howls one afternoon at Eagle Rock Cemetery

A couple visiting family graves on a rainy afternoon heard low, guttural calls lasting several seconds from the wooded mountainside about 100-150 yards away, repeated in sets of three. The witness mimicked a single call and received a single reply after a short silence while nearby dogs froze and stared toward the sound and poultry fled. The pair drove toward a water tank near the apparent source but heard nothing further, and the dogs later resumed barking.

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
