Account
The witness and a companion spent the night in a rustic cabin after hiking during the day. After falling asleep, the witness awoke to repeated series of strange cries from a distance that sounded closer with each new series over about an hour. The companion slept through the sounds and the witness heard nothing similar before or since.
