Vocalizations and wood knocking in Mark Twain National Forest
Account
The witness had gone to bed in his hunting cabin late Friday night when the forest went quiet and then heard a very loud scream from the southwest answered from the southeast. The exchange repeated four times with answering wood-on-tree bangs between the second and third calls, with the nearer sounds appearing to move farther southeast before all sounds stopped and normal night sounds resumed minutes later.
