Vacationer hears possible vocalizations late at night southeast of Helen

25 November 2005 about 11pm Helen, White County, Georgia 1 witness

Account

The witness had just lain down to sleep in a rented cabin around 11pm when a loud, close, high-pitched scream/howl was heard. The sound repeated several more times at 15-25 second intervals, while dogs were heard barking higher up the ridge. The witness estimated the source was within a few hundred feet and said the sound was unlike any known animal and not believed to be human.
