Account

The witness, on duty overnight at a park gate, heard a loud terrifying scream from about 250 yards away accompanied by the sound of a large tree snapping and falling. After waiting about 45 minutes in the booth, the witness walked to the same spot and heard another scream from about 50 yards away, then stayed in the booth until daylight. A search of the immediate woods the next morning found nothing unusual.
