Report Posted To GCBRO Web Site On:  July 30, 2015
 

DATE:    2/20/2014 
 

TIME:     Evening 
 

LOCATION:   St. Martin Parish, Louisiana 
 

TERRAIN:    Swampy 
 

OBSERVED:    The area in question is a small settlement of camps and residences which are located on the banks of a large bayou. Smaller bayous branch off from this main waterway, and extend into the swamp at various distances, some up to a mile or more. Residents, including the witness, have heard in the late evening hours, weird screams that come from the deep swamp to their east. The witness states that after this single scream, which he described as nothing he's heard from wildlife that he familiar with... the wildlife in the swamp respond and all h#$$ breaks lose for a few seconds and then quiets down. He says he hears owls, and a coyote in the response, but that was all he could identify. The scream was much further away and sounded nothing like any of these creatures. They would sit and listen with the children becoming scared, and a few minutes later another single scream, but with no response from the local wildlife this time. He has had a couple of instances where he has been running traps fairly deep in the area and has had the hair on the back of his neck stand up and have a feeling of anxiety. He left the area both times. The time of year is in the final winter months before spring and he has heard these screams in 2013, about the same time of year!! No other residents will speak on the matter publicly.
