Class B First-hand BFRO #7872

Camper hears strange screams at Indian Lake

28 May 1999 around 10pm Indian Lake, Hamilton County, New York 1 witness

Account

The witness was camping on the south side of Lewey Lake late in the evening when loud, unfamiliar screams were heard coming from across the lake. The cries did not match any known local wildlife or campers in the area. The witness later compared the sound to scream recordings associated with Bigfoot and found it very similar.
