Boy scout hears repeated screams

BFRO YEAR: '73-'74? Approximately 1 or 2 a.m. Dufur., Wasco County, Oregon 1 witness

Account

As a young scout camping overnight in a tent away from the main camp, the witness lay awake while his tent mate slept. He heard repeated loud vocalizations from a distance that started low, rose higher with a warbling quality, then faded. The sounds continued for about an hour and at times seemed to get closer, while he remained motionless and silent in his sleeping bag.
