The witness and companions were camping near Timberline Lodge and sitting around a campfire at night when a loud unfamiliar scream-like sound came from the woods below. They listened for about 25 minutes as the sound circled the camp while something large could be heard moving through brush. No visual sighting was made. Days later the witness heard a televised alleged Bigfoot recording that they felt sounded identical.
