I can confirm. In general, some distant acquaintances (relatives and their friends' friends of my parents and some other friends) vacationed in western Ukraine last year, or rather, the year before, and told some rather strange stories. They are fans of "extreme" activities, and once they had to spend the night in the forest. They found some exotic place, 5 km from the nearest settlement. So, they say that they heard various cries at night, human cries. Within a 5 km radius, there wasn't a single living soul. They haven't gone to forests since, and they don't go now. They are quite mature and reasonable people, even skeptical, and yet this happened... so I have no reason not to believe them.
