BFRO #22852: Hiker hears possible vocalizations on Appalachian Trail outside Helen

📍 Location

📝 Description

I was camped about a mile from the shelter and was enjoying myself when I suddenly felt uneasy and decided to go to [name omitted] shelter where a man on the trail said other people were camping. As I went about 50 yards from where I was camping I suprised something that I did not see but it took off down the side on a cliff and I assumed it was a bear. When I got to the shelter just after dark I set up in the shelter! About 5:30am I heard a very loud high pitched howling sound twice that was like nothing I have ever heard of or seen on TV. The first howl sounded like it was answered by the second that was not quite as loud. I sat straight up and thought "what was that" I did not go back to sleep. It did not sound even close to any animal I have ever heard.
