Account
In summer 1973 the witness, then a child at a camp in Langley, joined a counselor and another child to search the back of the camp property for a neighbor's missing sheep. After finding bloody sheep fur on a barbed-wire fence, the group heard an extremely loud roar and fled in panic. The camp was then closed with officials blaming a loose bear. Years later the witness heard online Bigfoot scream recordings and felt they matched the sound exactly.
