Husband and wife hear characteristic vocalizations in the Sautee-Nacoochee Valley

A couple at their home in northeast Georgia reported hearing a loud, unfamiliar howl- or scream-like sound late at night on about four occasions between February and mid-March 2009. The husband, who is often awake at night, first noticed the sounds and woke his wife to listen. They said neighborhood dogs barked as if following something moving quickly through the area and that the sound did not resemble known local wildlife. They did not report seeing an animal.
