Account
The witness and three companions were camped overnight during a berry-picking trip. Around midnight they were awakened by a loud scream, which was heard again the next morning while making breakfast and around 9 o'clock, at one point answering when the witness called out. Later that morning they found berries picked the previous day had been moved, the only sign of another presence.
