Resident hears possible early morning vocalizations near Westfield

Account

Around 3 a.m. the witness went outside to smoke after being unable to sleep and heard distant, powerful howls/screams lasting about ten minutes that faded as if the source was moving. The witness woke a friend, who also heard the sounds and found them chilling. Both men, experienced outdoors, said the vocalizations were unlike any familiar nocturnal animal sounds.
