📍 Location

📝 Description

About 2 years ago, sometime during warm�weather, my�husband and I were sleeping with our window open.� It was very early morning, and my husband was startled awake by a very high pitched screaming sound.� I was awakened just a few moments later by the same sound.� It sounded like a terrified woman, or a child's high pitch scream.� My husband was very scared, as he thought it was our 3 year old daughter that had climb out of her window and was walking on the dark road.� He ran downstairs to check on her and found her and our 2 year old son asleep in their rooms.��While he was checking on them, I heard the scream again.� My husband and I had never heard that sound before.��It gave us chills.� The next day, curiosity got a hold of me.� I started searching online for that sound, and came across supposed Bigfoot screams.� It sounded the exact same.��We even looked up screech owl noises, and many of the other noises that people have�said this scream is.� Although the noises came close, nothing matched exactly, except the supposed Bigfoot screams.� �That was the last we heard of those noises until recently.� The current situation is actually happening at my dad's house, which is about 2�miles if you take the road, and maybe 1-1.5 miles straight shot, from our house.� He moved to that house about 3 months ago.� A few weeks or so after he moved into the house, he told me one morning that he heard this screaming sound the night before that he had�never heard before, and that it gave him chills.� I jokingly said that it was Bigfoot.� Well, one day I was watching Finding Big Foot at my dad's house, and he heard the sound that the cast had heard in the woods, and MM said was a Bigfoot.� He came into the room and said,�"that's the sound I heard, what was that?"� -He did not know the name or content of the show I was watching.�My dad has said that a few times since, he has heard that same sound.� He also said that his dog, who is a lab mix, usually starts growling and the hackles on his back stand up, when there are animals, such as deer, in the backyard or�in the woods across the river.� However, he said there are times when the dog acts like he hears something in those areas, and will run back into the house and hide.� There has also been one time, about 12:30�at night, my husband was letting our dogs outside, and he came into the house, at little scared, and said that he had heard that sound again.� The next morning, my dad told us that he heard the scream again, about 12:30 at night, and we told him that we had heard it too.� �The latest "event" and the reason that I reached out to MM, was because my dad had our kids over at his house on Monday�(5/14) evening.� Earlier that day, he had taken�a few panoramic pictures of his backyard as he was playing with his�dog.� My kids went over to his house around 7pm.� He had them outside most of the evening, in and out, and then they ate dinner.� Sometime around 9pm, my dad noticed a very large limb sticking straight out of the ground on the bank of the river.�He�looked back at the picture he took earlier and the stick was not there.�The stick is probably around 9'-10' tall.� It was in the ground approximately 9".� I have attached two pictures showing this.� I am in the picture, and I am about 5'6".�� My husband got to my dad's house about 15 minutes after my�dad noticed the stick.� He�started walking down to the stick, and had a very uneasy feeling, and only made it half way between the house and the river, when he heard a rustling sound in the woods across the river.�That was when he turned around and walked back to the house.� I got to the house about 15 minutes after that, and my husband and I walked down the the stick to look for footprints and found nothing.� My husband mentioned that he did not have the uneasy feeling that time.� We looked around and tried to see if maybe the limb had fallen from the tree, and while this is a possibility, I feel it is very unlikely.� The conditions would have had to be perfect for this to happen.��My dad�said the next morning, that he thinks that the limb probably fell from the tree, but I'm not convinced.
