Account

The witness was staying alone at cottages beside fields edging forest and sitting outside in the evening. A loud sound described as between a howl and a scream came from the woods to the west and lasted 3-5 minutes. All farm animals reportedly froze and turned toward the sound, which the witness did not recognize from growing up in the area.
