Account
Two men camped overnight in a wooded hill area. After they went to bed, the man awake in his tent heard a strange loud whooping vocalization that seemed to come down a ridge toward camp, get very close, then move away behind them. He tried to look outside but saw nothing and noted the woods were unusually quiet with no brush or twig sounds. His companion slept through the whole episode.
