This is something that can be very good if done properly. The whistling tune is a staple of nerve-wracking horror stories and films. Not specifically the whistle, but the singular noise that gets repeated over and over again, enough so that the protagonist(s) are driven nearly insane with fear of the noise.

Now, the way the monster acts in this story is a little weird. I don't know if you intended the thing to be a human or a creature, but to me it acts more human than anything else (and it feels like it was supposed to be a creature). It whistles it's tune and stalks the main character, but it never catches him even though it can very easily do so, and it has no reason to pursue (although, this is a freakish human/creature, so it really doesn't need a reason, but I digress).

I'd say overall a 7.5/10. I'll gladly read the follow up and leave my notes there as well.
