Couple hears a series of "Whoops" while night fishing at Tappan Lake
Account
The witness and his wife were night-fishing with family at Tappan Lake in summer 2010. While walking back toward their van to get another chair, they heard repeated whooping sounds nearby in the dark woods. Unfamiliar with the sound, the witness told his wife it was an owl. His wife later heard the same sound on a television show and became convinced it was not an owl.
