Witness Account:
I was camping near Francitas river with a friend, when later that night we heard some strange noise, somthing big on the other side of the river was running , breaking big branches, whistling, and whooping at the same time. It suddenly stopped and we heard a raccoon being killed sounded like it was being strangled, then it started making the same sounds and running closer to are camp , until it was directly in front of are camp site, then we heard a splash in the water, we shined the light and saw a bunch of raccoon swimming for their lives, they came toward are fire I think for safety, then we heard it climbing up a tree really fast, you could hear it breaking branches on the way up, we shined the light and saw the top of the tree shaking,then it caughy another raccoon in the tree, strangling it. Then it got quiet and slowly climbed down, then it was gone.
