Memory of hearing the "Umatilla Screamer" on Indian Reservation
Account
The witness was sleeping at home with the bedroom window open when he woke abruptly around 12:30 a.m. He then heard very loud wailing, screaming, laughing and whoop-like yells coming from a field several hundred yards away. The sounds repeated several times while seeming to move farther away, as if the source was running.
