Account
The witness and their mother were inside their lakefront home near dusk when outdoor sounds went silent and their tethered dog howled and rushed inside to hide. Both then heard a loud non-human scream described as between a woman and a cougar, followed by loud splashing as something large moved through the water along the lake. After about five minutes normal swamp sounds resumed, suggesting whatever made the sounds continued down the lake.
