During his youth, this First Generation American heard several unusual sounds, on two different occasions
Account
In mid-winter 1979, the witness and about five other children were playing outside in snow around midnight during a heavy snowfall on the Navajo reservation in northeastern Arizona. From the darkness they heard a loud terrible screaming mixed with roaring that continued on and off for about 15 minutes. No creature was seen. The witness later concluded the sound must have been a Bigfoot, noting it matched published recordings and local stories of sheep thefts.
