Account

The witness was awakened at home by a loud screaming sound and went to the back door to look outside but saw nothing. The screaming continued until the witness turned on a light, then it stopped, and the witness went back to bed. Months later the witness heard a televised Bigfoot recording that sounded the same as the scream.
