Campers hear late night screams near Arnold
The witness and a friend were stationary outdoors at night when they heard three loud, powerful screams from uphill in dense, rugged terrain. The first scream was estimated about 50 yards away, with subsequent screams sounding progressively farther at about 100 and 200 yards and minutes apart. The witness described the sound as human-like but guttural with bass, offensive or warning in character, and unlike known wildlife. After looking around and firing rocks with a slingshot, they heard the final, more distant scream.

The sounds began at 4:45 a.m. and continued for about 20 minutes, with additional shorter series afterward and again around 6:30 a.m. from a different direction. Six campers heard the sounds, which the reporter felt resembled reference recordings and were not known forest animal sounds.
