Account
While camping along Elk River, the witness sat at a picnic table reading by lamplight at night and heard a strange yell-like call never heard before. The witness perceived calls coming from opposite sides of the river as if sources were responding to each other. After listening for several minutes, the witness got into a truck feeling scared.
