Account
The witness had arrived home and gotten out of the truck to walk about 40 feet to a trailer. They heard an extremely loud, primitive scream that seemed to fill the valley and felt very close. The witness went inside, heard nothing further, and said they had told no one before recognizing the sound in recordings.
