The only reason I’m even submitting this report to you is because of the chance happening that I was
watching a show on the History Channel about Bigfoot. The chance happening is when I checked the
information displayed about the program to see if I had ever seen the program before (Directv usuallytells me when the show was originally aired). When I checked the information, I read the little biographyabout the show and at the end of this little biography it said, “sounds like a woman screaming”. Immediately, a chill went over my spine and I flashed back to the time I had spent in the campgrounds that summer. I couldn’t get to my computer quick enough to send you this report. I need someone to contact me if possible, please, to clarify a little more of what is meant by, “sounds like a woman screaming”? Here is all that I can tell you about what happened to me. This was around late spring of 2000. A friend of mine and I were staying in White’s Beach camping area located in Durham, Maine while we were looking for a place to live. One night, around 10:00 or 11:00pm I was laying in my tent when I heard a screaming noise outside my tent. If I was told that I had to describe this noise as accurately as possible because my life depended on it, this is what I would say (I hope no one takes an offense to this, but this is as accurate as I can get): It sounded just like a woman screaming from being raped or some other ungodly pain she was experiencing. The scream lasted for about 4-7 seconds. It was so loud and sounded so close that I would swear it was no more 100 feet away from me. The first night it happened, I heard the scream twice, but I can’t remember how much time passed in between the screams. The next day, I asked my friend (who was using a small camper) if he had heard the noise. He told me he was asleep and didn’t hear anything. I described the noise to him and he just shrugged it off with a little laugh. I saw the owner of the campground later that day and asked her if she knew what it could be and said it was probably a fisher, but she couldn’t be sure. A couple of nights later, I heard the same exact noise again. This time I only heard it once. This time I kept the incident to myself because of my friend laughing it off before as maybe someone having a rough night. If it weren’t for the fact that I read the biography about that History Channel show, I probably never would have given it a second thought and would never have made this report. Like I stated before, when I read that, I was immediately flashed back to those nights in the campgrounds.
Added by user 6/6/2012: No, that was it.just the vocals. From what I can remember, it was around 10:00 at night. I was just lying down to go to sleep in a tent in a campground in Durham, Maine. We were pretty much the only ones in the campgrounds, because it was so early in the year (still very cool outside for camping). We were alone in the section we were camped in, so there wasn’t anyone else around us and this noise was very close. I would say it was no more than 500 feet away. It has been a very long time since I left my message on the NESRA site, so I don’t remember exactly how much information I gave in my report. Let me know if you want me to give you some more.
