Woman recalls hearing unusual hi-pitch sounds at a home near North Bay

The witness was sewing at home late at night when her dog showed fear and she turned down the television to hear a loud, unfamiliar screeching vocalization from very close outside the house. The sound lasted about four minutes with pauses and she was too spooked to go outside to investigate. She initially told herself it was an owl, but later comparison to owl, bobcat, lynx and cougar sounds found no match.
