Whooping sound wakes and unnerves a couple near West Alexandria

7 July 2014 about 4 am West Alexandria, Preble County, Ohio 2 witnesses

Account

The witness was at home in bed when repeating loud whoop-like sounds woke him and seemed to approach the house, getting louder and more frequent. He woke his wife, who also heard the sound, and went to the back door with a shotgun. When the sound was very close, he fired three rounds toward it, after which the vocalizations stopped and the source receded through the woods behind the house and was never heard again.
