Account

The witness and two companions were fishing on a lake at dusk when they heard a loud scream from across the lake in the forested mountains. No people or animals were visible in the area. About a minute later they heard the same scream a second time. Frightened, they reeled in their lines and ran back to the nearby resort without stopping.
