Account

A witness visiting a remote lake with two children reports hearing a series of single whoop-like vocalizations over about five minutes. The sounds reportedly repeated after the witness called out and seemed to get louder and closer, with no other movement sounds heard. The group packed up quickly and left for their vehicle without seeing the source.
