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.

The eyes retreated deeper, dropped low and disappeared while the group returned to the cottage.
