Account

The witness claims hearing a loud, deep human-like howl near home for 6-7 years, mostly at night around 1 a.m. and continuing until daybreak, sometimes with a second higher-pitched voice. The sound is described as moving west to east past the house and back, triggering dogs and coyotes, and increasing with heavy plane traffic and hot humid nights. The witness recorded the sounds on a cell phone and suspects the source used the barn in winter.
