Account

The witness was camping and sitting by the fire at dawn with an accompanying young child. Both heard a loud, guttural scream repeated three times with abrupt stops that carried across the valley. The witness interpreted the sound as a Bigfoot vocalization and suggested it was a warning about campers being present.
