The summer of 1998 found a group of teenage
boys preparing to have a campout on the rear
of a private 18-acre piece of property
located outside of Deroche, B.C. The boys
had set up their tents in a glade (roughly
200-300 feet away from the family home)
inside the edge of the forest, which still
remains quite wild and rugged, at the base
of the Coast Range Mountains.
It was just shortly before
dark, and all the boys were gathered around
a small central campfire when something
screamed at them with a huge volume from
inside the edge of the forest. Whatever
screamed at them could also be clearly heard
pacing back and forth and breaking heavy
branches inside the treeline.
In a follow-up conversation
at my home, one of the boys described the
warning-type scream as monkey-like with a
volume that would be impossible for any
human voice to duplicate without the
assistance of an amplifier.
