Couple hear loud, reverberating screams, witness a large, bulky man-like figure in the moonlight near Pidgeon Mountain
Account
The witness and a companion were camped around a fire late at night when they heard a loud high-pitched scream. The witness then saw a large bulky standing figure with head, arms, torso and legs about 30 yards away on the trail. When the witness brought the companion to look the figure was gone, then a similar scream sounded from close behind and another call answered from ahead. The pair quickly covered the fire and drove out.
