Ep 576Creature Along the Appalachian Trail
Back in November, Chad took a solo hike on the Appalachian Trail in Maryland. As he was crossing a power line cut, he heard an extremely loud whooping howl that echoed through the mountains. Seeing movement, he was able to photograph something large and upright walking into the brush. Afterward, loud wood knocks and pacing followed him through the woods – until he was able to exit onto a nearby road. The following weekend, Timothy and Chad revisited the area.
