π Description
I cannot say this is a Bigfoot event. I did not SEE what was happening - I only HEARD it.I was outside early one morning in June, 2005 - around 0600 - when I heard perhaps three dogs start to bark. They were perhaps two or three blocks away (the forest is very near there) when they began.This went on for a couple of minutes until the dogs began to bark louder and more fiercely. Then I heard a very loud howl, which certainly didn't sound like any dog I've ever heard. It reminded me of a Gibbon call in the zoo; more ape-like than dog.The dogs continued to bray, and the howler got louder and tended to drown them out.It did not sound like a fight but rather, a bunch of animals having a verbal argument over their respective territories.This went on for several minutes - perhaps 5 - until the animals grew tired of their noisy discourse. It presently stopped.I did not see any of my neighbors out and about so am not sure who if anyone else heard this.I am not a believer in Bigfoot per se, but since being up here and that episode, I have to wonder.
