Account

The witness arrived home late at night and got out of the parked vehicle. Immediately after the car door closed, an extremely loud scream was heard from near the uphill tree line about 100 feet away. The witness ran inside, retrieved a shotgun and floodlight, and watched from inside the screen door but saw nothing and found no sign.
