Couple hears an unusual scream while camping overnight on the Peace River

A couple canoed to a secluded riverbed camp and set up torches for the night. After dark they heard distant splashing followed by a long loud scream that shifted from high-pitched to angry and low. Frightened, the husband retrieved a gun and they remained uneasy through the night with no further incident.

Boy Scouts have sighting while camping at Quednau Ranch

The witness was on a Boy Scout campout in the Murdoch area near Tampa. On the second night after midnight during an initiation outing with another scout, they saw a very large figure running bipedally into the woods at high speed while giving a high-pitched scream or shriek. A strange smell was noted but was attributed at the time to sulphur water. The troop reportedly never returned to the area to camp.

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
