Public service officer hears unidentifiable screams and grunts near Hiram
Account
In early June 2006 around 1 a.m., the witness arrived home from work and parked by the woodline near the driveway. After exiting the vehicle he heard loud howls and ape-like grunts from the woods that he perceived as very large and threatening. He shouted back, heard closer howling responses suggesting two animals, then retreated backward to his house with a firearm. He watched from inside but reported no further sights or sounds.
