Multiple large creatures heard screaming 5 miles NW of Sparta

Account

The witness and a relative were wading in a river fishing near dusk when a very loud, prolonged guttural sound filled the valley from woods ahead. Everything else went quiet and both froze before slowly moving back to their vehicle. Afterwards they could not find any similar sound online and have not returned to the location.
