Class B First-hand BFRO #1200

Witness heard what sounded like "people talking backwards."

Summer 1980 night Cabell County, West Virginia 2 witnesses

Account

The witness and a companion were night fishing at a rural lake when they heard loud, unintelligible voice-like sounds from the woods uphill behind them. Shortly after, a very loud and frightening scream came from just up the hill, terrifying both of them. They left the area immediately and the witness reports not returning.
