Scream/smell scares family
Account
A family was mushroom hunting on a logging road when the father walked ahead to check the road. Those waiting by the car heard a loud distant scream or yell and then a strong smell, froze, and quickly got in the car. The father returned quickly carrying a stick and showing fear, then drove away in reverse without discussion until miles later.
