Possible vocalizations near Bakersville

Account

Two companions were jogging home in the dark along a rural road in the early morning hours. They heard a loud, high-pitched scream that held then dropped in pitch and ended in a cackle, first from a distance on the left. About an hour and several miles later they heard a similar but closer scream on the right, felt they were being followed, and hurried the rest of the way home.
