Boy describes father's scream encounter while camping
Account
The main witness was camping with relatives in a trailer in thick woods near the Ohio River. At night while trying to sleep in the passenger seat, he heard an extremely loud scream three times in succession that became a low hoarse animal scream and ended in a growl, with echoes through the hills. He stared out the windshield and then hid under a blanket on the floor after failing to wake his relatives. He later could not recall what happened the next day.
