Scream near Payson, Arizona

Account

The witness camped with four others and dogs near a stream. During the day they heard distant screams and at night saw faint red, green, blue and white lights moving down a hill. They heard single and multi-note whistles from multiple directions closing in, heard movement in the stream and road, saw a black mass run through brush, and left hurriedly after a whistle was answered back.
