Account
The witness and two companions were camping overnight near a creek without a tent. After one companion went to sleep, the witness and the other companion stayed by the fire and heard a very loud bellowing scream lasting several seconds from the direction of the creek. They stood defensively with a walking stick but saw nothing and heard no further sound, remaining until morning.
