Man recalls hearing whooping sounds as a boy at favorite fishing spot
Account
Four relatives camping at a lake in Oregon woke overnight to loud, deep whooping calls from the woods behind camp. A relative whooped and shouted back, and the unseen source answered with more whoops before the sounds moved north along a ridge and faded away. The reporter compares the calls to gibbon calls but louder and deeper and states no owl matches them.
