Account
Four men hiked at night toward a mountain summit and stopped to rest about 500 feet below the top. They claimed to hear loud sustained screams from the ridge above followed by a powerful growl. Frightened, they ran down the mountain to the highway and returned home. The witness stated the sounds did not match known local wildlife.
