Growl Franklin County Class B Clear all
13 November 2003 Ferrum, Franklin County, Virginia Class B #13212

Possible pre-dawn vocalization heard by hunter near Ferrum

The witness arrived in darkness to hunt deer from a tree stand on private land. While sorting gear in the stand, a very loud prolonged scream-howl ending in a growl occurred at close range, followed by movement in a nearby pine thicket and a brief foul odor. The witness stayed in the stand until first light, then left, and later visits had no further incident.

October 2000 Robertsvillem MO., Franklin County, Missouri Class B #20677

Resident describes possible vocalizations near Robertsville

The witness returned after being away for a week, parked near the barn late at night, and walked toward the house. From the immediate right the witness heard a hair-raising guttural growl twice and hurried inside to tell family. The next morning the witness called the conservation office, where the person consulted said the described sound was definitely not a bear.

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
