Family has frequent visits by someone they call the "Screaming Man" near Ashford

Account

Late at night the witness was unloading a car behind a rural home when owls around the house suddenly went silent and a loud human-like yell came from the woods about a hundred yards away. The sound felt physically powerful and warning, prompting the witness to leave belongings in the car and go inside. The witness later learned the sound matched prolonged screams previously heard by others in the area.
