Scream near Lansing, Iowa
Account
The witness and two companions went squirrel hunting on a hillside near a shooting range south of town. Something large crashed down the hill to the tree line, beat its chest and gave a loud chimpanzee-like screech while shaking trees and breaking branches. The group hid together in a ditch expecting an attack until the sounds stopped and the woods went silent. The witness recalls intense fear and has little memory of leaving the woods that day.
