Class B First-hand BFRO #23259

Family hears ear piercing sream outside their cabin north of Westlock

30 August 2001 around 12:00 am Westlock, Alberta 3 witnesses

Account

The witness and two family members were settling to sleep in a recently purchased cabin late at night. A loud, shrill scream was heard from just outside the thin door. The witnesses, who described themselves as experienced outdoorsmen familiar with local animal sounds, said it matched nothing they knew. Nothing else happened that night and no tracks were found the next day.
