Howl Chesapeake City County Clear all
21 July 2000 Chesapeake, Chesapeake City County, Virginia Class B #4788

Screams heard in the Great Dismal Swamp

The witness, working as a camp counselor, heard a loud unfamiliar howl-like call while walking back to her cabin late at night. The sound repeated about seven times over roughly 90 seconds and seemed to move closer and parallel her path, prompting her to run indoors. She later searched for physical sign without success and found the vocalization matched only alleged Sasquatch recordings she located online.

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
