Account
The witness was fly-fishing at a small lake with a companion in the evening while other fishers and campers were also present. A very loud roar that turned into a high-pitched scream was heard repeatedly from timber about 200 yards away and continued as everyone hurried to leave. The witness stated the sound did not match known elk, deer, coyote, or bear sounds from years of logging and hunting experience.
