Scream near Clackamas County (2011)

With church friends at Table Rock in June 2011, after doing calls at dusk and seeing a low military helicopter, the witness and his father heard a very loud sharp-pitched scream from over the mountain at 2:15am that rose and dropped. It repeated five times and they thought it sounded female or teenage. A voice recorder on sensitivity did not capture it and a trail cam only got a bird.
