Campers retreat to their vehicles due to a loud unknown vocalization near High Point State Park

A group camping overnight in a wooded campground heard a very loud, close vocalization that began as a growl and shifted into a prolonged howl. Frightened by the unfamiliar sound, the group retreated to their vehicles for safety. Years later the reporter concluded the sound resembled televised alleged Sasquatch calls and did not match black bear sounds.

The Database of Unexplained Encounters. Claims are recorded as claims: the Anomadex catalogues what people reported, where it was reported, and how sure I am that it was read correctly. It does not rule on what they saw.

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
