Account

Three campers at Bumping Lake heard a loud high-pitched scream from a nearby ridge while sitting around a campfire at night. About 15 seconds later an answering call came from a more distant ridge to the southwest. After going to bed, two campers heard another scream from inside their tent and armed themselves, but nothing further happened.
