Unexplained noise… I feel crazy.
I need input on an experience I had a couple years ago. I’ve never posted a question on the internet before, so please excuse me if this is long winded… I’m so desperate for information at this point.
Let me start out by saying I am a born and raised Appalachian. I grew up exploring the woods and I’ve heard every species of animal that roams the area. However, I cannot get this specific “call” or “cry” out of my head.
It was late spring so I left my upstairs bedroom balcony door open to sleep. The screen door was closed, of course. I had just gotten in bed and comfortable when I heart “it”. The noise sounded like whatever it was, was in my front yard. It was piercing. It Sounded as if several people of varying gender and ages were all screaming at once. Maybe about 5-6 different tones and pitches, yet in perfect sync with one another. The sound absolutely paralyzed me. A crippling feeling of dread, fear, sadness… came over me. Agony maybe? I remember thinking of every possible “logical” reason. I thought maybe I has fallen asleep and possibly having sleep paralysis but I Scanned the room with my eyes and my cats were reacting to this noise as well. My cats were puffed, growling at whatever was outside. the noise lasted what seemed like a good 60 seconds then finally “released” me and I was able to pull myself out of it.
I’ve told this story to a few family members and friends. They all suggest the same thing.. “oh that probably was a bobcat… mountain lion… coyotes..” I’ve browsed the internet dozens of times listening to every animal call I can think of. Nothing matches. I’m not one to buy into a whole lot of legends of the supernatural but I fully believe what I heard was neither human or animal.
Has anyone has similar experience or have any info/suggestions of what this might have been? I feel like ive researched until I’m blue in the face and have come up empty handed each time.
