Account

In late summer 1986 two teenagers were on the deck of a house bordering wilderness when they heard a long, distant scream from behind the house. Startled, they hurried inside, secured the house, and the reporter briefly stepped onto the back porch with a shotgun. He heard distant movement but saw nothing further, and they stayed awake most of the night.
