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 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.
