Man hears characteristic howls in early morning hours near Mechanicstown

15 June 2001 Eureka Springs, Carroll County, Arkansas Class B #3032

Vocalizations heard by multiple witnesses

Five people were talking in a boat on Beaver Lake late at night when coyotes began yipping and howling. Shortly after, a much lower and longer howl was heard from several hundred yards away and repeated two or three times. Two companions suggested a Husky-type dog, but the reporter felt it was deeper than coyotes or a Husky and believed it may have been a Bigfoot. No further sounds were heard afterward.
