Brown County Indiana (Class B) BFRO

May 1995

My cousin and I were camping way out in the woods. We had just got there and built a fire when we heard a scream up on the ridge. After we heard the scream we shot our 12 gauge shotgun into the air and saw the creature's outline from the moonlight it was standing upright like a human, running down to the waters edge making a howling noise never heard before in either of our lives.
