Witness hears late night screams near Yreka
Account
The witness was working on a bicycle on the back porch late at night when a low guttural growl/hoot was heard from an estimated 100 to 200 feet away between the residence and up the road. The sound lasted several seconds, rose in pitch, and did not resemble known local wildlife, while nearby dogs did not react. The witness retrieved a handgun and flashlight to search but found nothing unusual, with ground too dry to hold tracks.
