Campers awakened by unidentified screams near Lumby
Account
While tent-camping with her daughter at a lakeside resort, the witness was awakened around 2 a.m. by repeated loud shrieks coming from across the water. She dressed, went to the shore with a flashlight, and listened for several minutes until the sound stopped abruptly. Another camper from an RV joined her on the shore and listened as well, and neither could identify the source as a known animal.
