Hamilton County, New York · 1999-05-28 · from the BFRO archive
I grew up camping in the Central portion of the Adirondack Mountains. Indian/Lewey Lake area to be exact. With that said I have been going there for 25+ years and am very familiar with all of the sights and sounds. My incident happened a few years ago in the spring of 1999. I was camping the last weekend of May with one of my dogs on the south side of Lewey lake. I think there were maybe a total of 5 camps being used. One of the nights around 10pm I heard a loud and very unfamiliar cry/scream come from the north side of the lake. I sat there in silence with my dog, almost in shock because I had never heard anything like this before. It went on with a series of screams for about 10 seconds. It was not a bear, not a moose, etc. It made me a bit uneasy as I could not place the sound. It was not from any campers either as there were only a handful and were all on the same side of the lake as myself. I just went to this website today and listened to some of the sound clips available of 'BigFoot'. The sound I heard almost exactly matches these clips.
