Family hears whooping sounds while hiking Marys Peak
Account
A family of five was hiking on a forest trail when they heard deep guttural whooping sounds nearby. The sounds alternated from different directions as if two individuals were communicating and continued intermittently for about 40 minutes while the group climbed. The adults kept the children in a tight group until they left the forest section and the sounds stopped.
