Screaming or howling in Putnam County, Indiana

My girlfriend and I were fishing on Glen Flint Lake in Putnam Co. IN. I would say it was about 1 am. We heard a coyote, or coyotes barking and making yipping noises, then we heard several loud grunt like noises, almost moan like, very loud similar to what a bear sounds like, then a coyote let out a scream like sound, like it was getting hurt. Then it got quiet. I pulled up our anchors, and left. I have camped all over the United States, I've camped in remote parts of Canada. I have never heard anything like that. I was actually a little scared. Whatever it was it was big. To this day I still believe it was a bigfoot. If I had to guess, the coyote didn't make it.

What stood out: screaming or howling
