LOCATION: Franklin, TN. Williamson County 
 

TERRAIN:   Wooded mountains 
 

OBSERVED:    I had a bon fire one night to celebrate the end of school and allof us going into high school. After a while, when we listened to all the cd's and all the food ran out the bon fire got boring. So we all went up and over a hill that over looked a beautiful valley, this was maybe a mile or so away.  Many of us had girlfriends or girls we liked so this was perfect view just to talk. Well we wereup there for a while and after a while I had totake a leak. So walked back into the woods and was just coming up on a good spot when from the direction I was walking (much farther off, maybe 3-4 hundred yards perhaps a mile) came this horrible high pitched scream. It sounded so close and the second I heard it I yelled (very loudly)....Holy Sh#t!....I know that is not appropriate for a 15 year old to say but when you get that scared anything can slip out, but I appologise. I ran back to where every one else was and yelled as I was running did ya'll hear that?! They all yelled back that they did, so I yelled let's get out the hell (sorry)of here! And I blew past them! They all agreed and followed me. We got back to the house in about 5 minutes as apposed to 30-45 minutes. When we got back no one really said anything, except the girls who complained that they had lost their flip flops up there.
I have not been able to go into that part of the woods since then alone or with some one else. What scared me the most was that I felt it was following us and others said that it was, and that they could hear somethinglarge shadowing us and at times get ahead of us.

ACTIVITIES OF WITNESS(ES):  We were just out enjoying the scenery. None of us are old of enough to drink and were for sure not drunk..lol..
 

DESCRIPTION OF CREATURE:
 

OTHER NOTES:  It sounded to be a ways off yet the sound seemed right in my face. As we were running off it semed to be following us and it sounded heavy and fast!
