Account

The witness and a fellow student were walking through a small wooded shortcut late at night on the way home from a rehearsal. Halfway through they heard a brief unearthly high-pitched shriek from the woods and fled to a nearby grocery parking lot. The witness remembered the incident for years, initially attributing it to an animal.
