OBSERVED: After listening to the Bigfoot scream recording on your website I played it for two friends of mine and we all agree that it is exactly what we heard. In the summer of 1999 we were working on a cabin that my friend was building in Guernsey County about three miles from Seneca Lake. Around 2 AM we were awakened by a series of screams. We had no idea what they were. Later we figured they were a bobcat. When I listened to your recording I am positive that is what we heard and everyone agrees. I have heard it one other time in 1999, but not since. My friend who owns the cabin and his son also has heard this scream on other occasions.

ALSO NOTICED: I was dreaming when I was awakened. I think I may have heard a howl in addition to the series of screams, but I can't be sure.

OTHER WITNESSES: Three of us.

OTHER STORIES: no

TIME AND CONDITIONS: It was 2 AM. The weather was hot and dry.

Follow-up investigation report:

Talking with the witness he said the sounds they heard were in no way any Owl, Cougar, Bobcat, Coyote, bird, etc... The series of screams they heard were so loud it woke all of them from a sound sleep. He downloaded the Ohio sounds from the BFRO website and played them for the other guys that have heard the sounds near the cabin and they all agreed that is what they have been hearing.
