Class B First-hand BFRO #29241

Memory of possible vocalizations and rock throwing southwest of Atwood

9 October 1999 just before dark Atwood, Moultrie County, Illinois 3 witnesses

Account

The witness, then a child, was walking through woods and field toward ponds to feed fish when a loud high-pitched scream came from the woods and trees shook in a visible path without wind. After waiting, the witness continued to the pond embankment where a boulder-sized rock landed nearby from higher ground. Two sisters were present for the rock incident, and the witness reported repeated rock-throwing at that embankment and occasional feelings of being watched.
