Class B First-hand BFRO #15744

Possible screams heard by campers near Indian Lake

August 1974 night, campfire around 10pm Pilot Rock, Umatilla County, Oregon

Account

The witness was at a summer youth camp at Indian Lake in the mid-1970s. At night around the campfire the group heard loud yells from the direction of the dam that seemed to get closer, and counselors sent everyone to bed. Later in a teepee the witness felt the ground shake with loud booming steps and was held still by a counselor; the camp broke quickly the next morning.
