Couple experiences vocalizations in Bradshaw Mountains and group detects odor while camping by Mogollon Rim.
Account
The witness and their then-spouse were sleeping in a tent at a camp in the Bradshaw Mountains when they were awakened by high-pitched calls coming from both a ridge above camp and a slope below. They listened for about half an hour as the two sources called back and forth and shifted position, then retreated to their truck after hearing rocks trickle down the slope, hearing the sounds move north before dawn. In the morning the witness saw a trail crossing the campsite, and years later both the witness and the former spouse said the sounds matched a published recording labeled 'Scream.'
