Screams heard at Bull Lake
Account
The witness and family were camped and sitting around a campfire at night when they heard a loud unfamiliar scream-like cry from very close beyond the trees, with sounds of vegetation being torn up and bipedal stomping. Their dog ran silently to the trailer and the group followed. The next morning they found large impressions in the forest floor near where the sound came from but could not determine what made them because of deadfall and deep pine needles.
