Class A First-hand BFRO #1486

A loud screaming, brush crashing creature frightens a group of U.S. and Canadian soldiers

August 1990 night New Brunswick

Account

A group of U.S. and Canadian soldiers heard very loud, distorted cries coming from nearby woods at night. They reported hearing and feeling heavy impacts as something moved rapidly through brush. The witness described the sounds as unlike a bear or wild dog and deeply disturbing, and said the experience sparked interest in the subject despite not seeing the source.
