Account

The witness and a relative arrived before dawn for turkey hunting in river-bottom woods and swamp. While walking in darkness they heard a loud scream nearby, then heard it again and later several more times over a couple hours, feeling the source was following them. They waited until sunrise, moved a short distance, then left the area and did not return. Neither person saw the source and they reported no tracks or sign.
