Scream South Dakota Class B Clear all
June 2019 Rochford SD, Pennington County, South Dakota Class B #65588

Possible howls heard 4 miles north of Rochford in middle of Black Hills

The witness was staying alone at cottages beside fields edging forest and sitting outside in the evening. A loud sound described as between a howl and a scream came from the woods to the west and lasted 3-5 minutes. All farm animals reportedly froze and turned toward the sound, which the witness did not recognize from growing up in the area.

HowlScream
4 April 1986 Aberdeen, Brown County, South Dakota Class B #1445

Teenagers hear strange sounds near Aberdeen

Two friends were talking late at night in a farmhouse basement with the windows open when they heard a strange screeching or howl-like sound from a nearby field. They looked out the window but saw nothing, and the sound continued intermittently for about ten minutes. Neither could identify it as any known wildlife or farm animal, and a brief search the next day found nothing.

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
