Class B First-hand BFRO #5059

Family hears strange screams off Highway 54

4 April 1973 daytime, warm sunny day Louisiana, Pike County, Missouri

Account

The witness was mushroom hunting with relatives in a heavily wooded hollow when the group noticed a horrible smell with no apparent source. They returned to the car, and shortly after heard a loud scream that was compared to a panther scream. The group did not investigate and left quickly, in the context of known local Mo Mo sightings.
