Account
The witness was hiking alone uphill while visiting relatives and stopped to rest by a downed log near a road above a river. He heard a strange scolding "Ttttttt" sound combined with a whistle twice, which caused goosebumps and a strong sense of needing to leave. He walked quickly downhill about two miles toward home without running and was not followed.
