Class B First-hand BFRO #25082

Retired police officer recalls he and a friend being intimidated from continuing their hike, near Bonita

15 August 1967 about 6:30pm Bonita, Menominee County, Wisconsin 2 witnesses

Account

Two companions were hiking a faint trail in late afternoon to scout a fishing spot for the next morning. From a short distance ahead they heard an extremely loud, high-pitched scream that continued without pause for minutes. As they retreated, trees were heard and seen breaking and falling along a nearby ridge as the unseen source moved parallel to them. They never saw the source and left the area without returning.
