Account

The witness was staying at an inn in Sandy and woke around 3 a.m. after thunderstorms had passed. While leaning out a second-story window into still air, he heard a distant, high-pitched wailing lasting about 20 seconds. He described it as unlike tires, human voices, or known animals he had heard, and remained uncertain what produced it.
