Summer 1978 Ascension Parish, Louisiana Class C #1282

witnesses heard bizarre loud screams while out catching bullfrogs in a swamp.

The witness, then 8, was camping with relatives at a boat-access camp far back in the swamp. A little after 1 a.m., after a relative blew a hunting-dog horn to elicit an owl response, the group heard a single loud scream while lying on cots in the moonlight. The witness describes it as indescribable and unlike other swamp sounds, and says the group did not know what it was.

The Database of Unexplained Encounters. Claims are recorded as claims: the Anomadex catalogues what people reported, where it was reported, and how sure I am that it was read correctly. It does not rule on what they saw.

A quick ask from the person behind the Anomadex: if you allow analytics, Google Analytics shows me which places, phenomena and searches you're most curious about. That tells me which regions and sources to add next and what to make easier to find. It never sees your name or anything you send me, and nothing is set unless you say yes. Privacy
