Class B First-hand BFRO #8680

Boys hear moaning call from bedroom window

27 July 1980 about 2:00 AM Dee, Hood River County, Oregon 2 witnesses

Account

The witness and a companion were awake late in an upstairs bedroom with the window open while photographing the moon. They heard a loud, human-like low-pitched moan that seemed to rise in pitch and approach the house for about ten seconds, then stopped after the window was shut. Nothing was seen that night or found in the orchard the next morning, and the witness later felt the sound matched a recording heard online.
