Wow!! Do you really think it could have been Bigfoot?? Have you heard it again?I have heard a howl at night, but it was so loud my ribcage rattled. I hear coyotes all the time, it was not coyotes, and a cougar would not have howled that long. My dog who was never afraid of anything, and always barked, dropped to the floor and was clinging to it with her toenails. I had also dropped to the floor. I think it was bigfoot and it was hunting season, and hunters near by had hung up a deer, and bigfoot was upset, because the hunters were not full timers, and were not normally there. The hunters reported the noise and thought it was bigfoot also.
The closest I heard but not as loud was howler monkeys at the zoo.
