Account
The witness and his wife were sleeping in a small cabin near Viola when the wife woke the witness after hearing a strange sound. The witness then heard a loud, repeated scream-like call lasting about 25 seconds from some distance away. He did not recognize it as a known animal but later found it matched sounds on bigfoot-related sites, while stating he could not say what it was.
