Possible vocalizations heard periodically over the years outside Lexington

The witness reports hearing a very loud, chilling howl and scream repeatedly over many years while living on forested family land. The sounds often occurred in early evening after unusual silence, frightened family members, and caused dogs, horses, and goats to react. Despite multiple hunts nothing was found, and years later the witness felt internet recordings of alleged sasquatch vocalizations matched what the family had heard.

Screaming reportedly continued for hours, and the next midday they found a snapped vine, bark torn high on a tree, disturbed ground, and a partial large heel print.
