    I went here tonight 5-28-17 it was rainy and dark. It was at around 11 pm so we just went for a couple of minutes. We didn't get off because it was pretty wet and extremely dark but we drove slowly back and forth and the first time we did we heard a scream it was like a shout, but after that we didn't hear or see anything.
