π Description
I was camping with my stepdaughter and one of her friends at the Big Bay Access Area on the Broad River. Upon arrival at the campsite at 12:30 AM, as is our custom, my stepdaughter did a 2-3 second howl and I did a heavy growl. Immediately thereafter, we heard creature chatter from across the parking lot (100-150 yards away), followed seconds later by a wood knock from the same direction but further away. I found a large stick and answered with two wood knocks, but got no response.
π Circumstances
There were three witnesses (myself, my stepdaughter and her friend). No one else was in the area.
π€οΈ Weather Conditions
The temperature was about 45F. The ground was damp from recent rains and was covered with fallen leaves. The sky was clear.
