Couple hear loud screams and experience a feeling of being watched on a trail near Buck Mountain
Account
The witness and his wife left the trail by a creek to take photos. They heard a very loud deep roaring and screaming vocalization approaching from across the creek, repeated several times, with breaking branches as it circled and then followed them as they fled. Frightened, they gathered their belongings and ran back down the trail while the animal tracked them from alongside the creek.
