Family has recurring encounters at home near Forsyth

11 August 2011 12:30am to 1:00am Forsyth, Taney County, Missouri 2 witnesses

Account

The witness and her husband were awakened after midnight by strange sounds from their children's bedroom heard through a baby monitor, including squeaking at the window and a thump against the house wall. After the husband turned on exterior lights, the witness saw a large shadow move quickly away from the house toward nearby woods. Shortly after, both heard a very loud double whoop vocalization twice, which the husband said could not have been an owl.
