Account
The witness and a relative camped at Rockbound Lake in Desolation Wilderness. Late at night they heard three very loud high-pitched screams from across the lake. Just before dawn the next morning they heard a series of very loud roars from multiple directions around the lake, including one very close behind camp, then searched the area but saw nothing.
