Account
In October 1989 the witness and a companion were elk hunting in James Canyon near Fairview, Utah, sitting under trees waiting for sunrise. They heard an extremely loud penetrating scream lasting about 10 seconds at a time and repeating for about two minutes. They did not see the source and did not pursue it, but later felt it matched a recording known as the Ohio scream.
