Family hears rock-clacking and screams while camping

Account
The witness was camping with family at Lake Mary and had gone to bed in a tent trailer at night when repeated whooping cries, a loud scream, and rock-clacking sounds were heard nearby. The sounds frightened the witness and her sons. She first assumed the noises came from nearby campers possibly bothering a bear cub, but later came to believe they were Bigfoot-related after reading a similar account.
