Howl Pennington County 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
18 February 2008 7 Mi South-Southwest From Rapid City, Pennington County, South Dakota Class B #23214

Unusual howls recorded in the Black Hills southwest of Rapid City

The witness returned home in the evening and heard an unfamiliar ululating howling sound with an echo off a nearby cliff. The witness recorded about 4.5 minutes of the sound. With decades of outdoor experience, the witness did not recognize it as any known local animal and noted dogs reacted negatively.

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
