Howls and wood knocking heard in vicinity of Napoli / Little Valley / Salamanca
In September 2000 the witness was near home bordering extensive forest when a long howl was heard approaching from a distance at dusk. The witness went into the woods with two dogs, a spotlight and a weapon to intercept what was first assumed to be a hunter's dog, but saw no hunter lights while the sound moved rapidly to within about 120 yards on the same level. The dogs behaved unusually and the witness felt terror, concluding the source was not a known dog or coyote, a view reinforced by later failure to match the sound to recorded wolf sounds and by nearby residents reporting similar howls.
