Horrible screaming vocalizations heard

Plumas County, California
Account
The witness and companions were gathered around a large campfire after dinner when a companion asked for quiet. They then heard loud, repeated screaming from above the basin that the witness matched to a Bigfoot sound from a radio-show recording. After a few minutes they fired a shotgun twice, after which the sounds stopped and nothing was found.
