I was camping in a tent with my friends in my backyard. We heard what can only be described as a singular adult human loudly making monkey noises about 20 ft from the tent in the tree line in the middle of the night. I called my brother and made him come get us and he brought a bat.😂 I can still hear it to this day, none of us can talk about it without crying and we’re adults now. Like 3 girls giggling in a tent and then you suddenly hear “ooo oOO OOO AH! AH!” and then dead silence. The sound of an adult man shouting full volume, but scarily accurate to a monkey, like we all immediately recognized it as human and not an animal, but it sounded like whatever it was had practiced. And I think we all did the calculation that it was close enough it could probably hear us calling for help if it got closer, and would reach us before we could make it to the house if we tried to run for it. I know it wasn’t my brother because I made him stay on the phone with us and heard him walk all the way from his room, to the garage to get a bat, and then out the closest door to us. Our property was fenced in but the side and back fences were pretty short chain link, neighbour kids hopped over them all the time. They were too young to make that sound and we didn’t know them very well. Where it was coming from was right at the edge of some rocks and a drop-off, in a bunch of trees and ivy. No monkeys where we live and I’ve gone camping in the forest nearby several times and never heard anything like it. The closest thing to that level of instant fear was an owl calling like 2 ft from my head in the pitch black, but I thought it was cool the second my brain had time to process what it was.😂 The idea of a random adult man sneaking into our backyard in the middle of the night, waiting in the ivy, close enough he would’ve been able to see the tent and could’ve heard what we were saying when we were being loud, screaming weirdly accurate monkey noises really loud one time, and then just standing there in complete silence, is absolutely horrifying.😭 Still have zero explanation for it, unless someone’s pet parrot escaped and their owner was a full-time monkey actor.
