Witness hears sounds on remote farm similiar to those attributed to Bigfoot on television

In the summer of 1996 the witness was with two companions around a large bonfire on a neglected wooded farm property. An extremely loud scream-like vocalization was heard from the lower wooded ground and seemed to circle around the group. The witness felt the source was upset by the fire and was disturbed because it moved closer rather than away. Hearing alleged Bigfoot vocalizations on television later reminded the witness of the sound.
