Account

The witness stopped at a rest area on Highway 26 late at night to let her dog out while driving to the coast. From the southeast across the highway she heard a sustained eerie scream lasting several seconds from a distance. She could not identify the sound as any known wildlife, and later said it matched a reference scream recording played for her.
