Tree break near Wardensville, West Virginia

On the final summer trip the witness and his uncle found a large snapped branch blocking the driveway. That night after the witness did whoop calls they heard distant wood knocks, return whoops that mimicked the witness, and a loud scream/howl. In the morning something slapped the cabin wall leaving an oily handprint, prompting them to leave.

Whoop near Wardensville, West Virginia

On the third night of the final visit the witness made whoop calls from the deck. After about twenty minutes they heard a distant wood knock to one side and a whoop to the other, then exchanges where the sounds mimicked the witness's pattern. After an imitation call they heard a loud scream-howl described as like the Ohio Howl, followed by more back-and-forth whoops.

A quick ask from the person behind the Anomadex: if you allow analytics, Google Analytics shows me which places, phenomena and searches you're most curious about. That tells me which regions and sources to add next and what to make easier to find. It never sees your name or anything you send me, and nothing is set unless you say yes. Privacy
