Account
Late at night the witness and a companion were awake talking in a house with the bedroom window open when a loud five-second scream came from a wooded hillside 100-200 yards away. The witness, claiming familiarity with local night animals, felt the sound did not resemble cougar or coyote and matched roaring screams heard in documentaries. No further screams were heard that night.
