Whoop in Iowa
Account
The witness and a friend arrived after sunset to camp and cook at adjacent sites in a state forest. Soon after setting up they heard distant whoops, then a loud whoop behind camp followed by gibberish-like vocalizations, growls and quiet wood knocks. One vocalizer became loud and aggressive in the dark while the companion glimpsed movement between trees, prompting them to pack up in the dark and drive away. As they finished packing the witness reports perceiving a male figure in his mind's eye saying they were funny.
