Account

The witness reports hearing howling and whistle-like sounds behind their house near woods outside town frequently over about three weeks, usually around 2 a.m., distinguishing them from nearby trains. They also report hearing heavy footsteps that step, pause, then step again, and finding a deep mark in mud behind a shed and leftover field pumpkins missing. No visual encounter is described.
