Mother camping with her kids hears loud vocalizations from outside their tent at Joemma Beach State Park campground

Account

A group of scouts and parents camping in tents were awakened around 2 a.m. by loud whoop vocalizations. The main witness heard three very close whoops followed minutes later by more distant whoops that seemed to move away to the north. The sound was unfamiliar and unnerving, and the group discussed a sasquatch as a possible source.
