Account
As a young teen helping with family cleaning work at a ranger station complex, the witness was taking trash to a rear dumpster by a pond when a close, loud screech like an animalistic woman screaming was heard. The frightened witness ran back to a building where a relative was working, and neither could identify the sound, tentatively attributing it to a mountain lion despite doubt.
