Account

Three companions were camping overnight for gigging and lying in a large tent trying to sleep when prolonged loud screams were heard from across a creek for about 30 minutes. They described the screams as deep-throated, lasting several seconds each, and coming from a large animal, but they stayed in the tent and saw nothing.
