Account

The witness stepped outside behind the house late at night while on the phone and heard several very loud, medium-pitched whoops lasting a few seconds each, with rustling in nearby thickets. The witness stopped talking to listen and then went inside to get a roommate, but by the time they returned outside the sounds had stopped and neighborhood dogs were barking.
