Class B First-hand BFRO #967

Teenage dirt bike riders hear screams

July 1974 2:00 P.M. Silverton, Snohomish County, Washington 2 witnesses

Account

Two teenagers stopped for a few minutes by a small lake or beaver pond while riding dirt bikes on an overgrown logging road. A loud scream lasting up to 15 seconds and varying in pitch came from an opposite ridge about a mile away. Startled, they left immediately and told only immediate family members about what they heard.
