BFRO #39639: Campers retreat to their vehicles due to a loud unknown vocalization near High Point State Park

📍 Location

📝 Description

I and about 7 other campers heard a very loud growl that quickly changed into a long-lasting howl. To be safe, we all retreated to our cars for a while because we had no idea what could have made a sound like what we heard.I�m reporting this twenty years after the fact because we all just wrote it off as a wild animal or a bear, but after seeing the TV show �Finding Bigfoot� for the first time, and hearing BoBo cut loose with one of his calls, I made the connection that the sound I heard twenty years ago sounded almost exactly like BoBo�s call.What I heard was very loud and very close. After researching Black Bear sounds on the internet, this wasn't even close.I didn't smell anything.
