The witness and three young relatives were camping overnight in a tent in a mostly deserted campground. At about 3:30 a.m. the witness was awakened by multiple sizable rocks striking the ground near the tent and rolling toward it without hitting it.

Ongoing activity and possible vocalizations recorded near Detroit Metro Airport

The witness claims hearing a loud, deep human-like howl near home for 6-7 years, mostly at night around 1 a.m. and continuing until daybreak, sometimes with a second higher-pitched voice.

The witness recorded the sounds on a cell phone and suspects the source used the barn in winter.
