Account
The witness was stopped in a parked car with a dead battery while returning from a friend's cabin and waiting for help. From tree cover across a river, the witness heard a loud scream unlike any known animal, after which surrounding crickets and frogs went silent. The witness immediately associated the sound with Bigfoot and reported hearing a similar scream years later on a radio broadcast of a recording.
