Account
The witness and a companion drove up a logging road to test new tires and stopped to view a moonlit valley. While stationary with the window down, they heard a rock strike the gravel road, followed by an extremely loud chilling scream and sounds of branches breaking and thrashing. The witness described the sound as unlike anything imaginable and reported feeling scared.
