Account

The witness reports hearing a very loud high-pitched scream on two to three occasions in the middle of the night while awake in bed, once loud enough to wake her. On one occasion she woke her sleeping husband, who also heard the screeches. She first thought it was another animal but later wondered if it could have been a bigfoot.
