Moped rider hears loud vocalizations and crashing in woods near Edinboro
Account
The witness took a child for a moped ride into woods behind a family picnic gathering. An extremely loud scream was heard three times at short intervals, sounding closer each time and approaching very quickly. Loud crashing suggested something large moving through trees and swamp toward them. The witness fled with the child to the polebarn and reported the incident to relatives, who laughed and would not return to investigate.
