Account

The witness and a companion parked in a small forest clearing at night to watch the sky. They heard three loud raspy screams, each followed by three rhythmic deep thuds in the ground. After waiting silently in the car, they heard further rustling and an unspecified sound before driving down and sleeping by the road.
