Strange odor precedes strange vocalizations in rural Texas

October 2003 just before midnight Dickens, Dickens County, Texas 2 witnesses

Account

Late at night at home, the witness heard an odd noise and noticed a strong foul odor filling the house while the indoor dog reacted aggressively at the back door and door area. After his wife returned home, he opened the back door and both heard two loud, unfamiliar screams from the northwest about 100-150 yards away. No intruder or tracks were found, and dogs in the area remained agitated for several days.
