Account
Two companions were bow hunting and stopped to rest in tall timber. They heard rustling uphill followed by talking-like and laughing-like sounds that escalated into a very loud, high-pitched continuous cry that seemed to come from multiple directions. The sound lasted roughly 40 seconds without pausing, then wound down and faded to nothing.
