Report Received From: The GCBRO Online Report Submission Form.
 

DATE:    1999
 

TIME:     between 2-4 am
 

LOCATION:   Henderson County, Texas
 

TERRAIN:    Wooded
 

OBSERVED:    I was pregnant so was up every night to pee. We had just gotten a new dog and he wasn't housebroken, so when I got up, HE had to go out too. While outside with the dog, I heard something I've never heard before and the neighbors/ officials can't tell me what it is either. The noise starts out like a big hoot owl with 3 or 4 hoots, then sounds like its laughing, then strangling, finishing with a growling noise. (It's been 3 years since I've had to be outside at those wee hours, and just describing it makes the hair on my neck stand up). I heard this at least half a dozen times from the woods beside our house over the course of a year, only between 2 and 4 am. These woods surround a chain of springfed ponds that empty into a river- on both sides of this "corridor"; are acres and acres of forest. I've heard hoot owls, heard coyotes kill little critters to account for strangling/growling noises, but the laughter in the middle was a definite "hahaha";, sort of high like a woman's voice. Creepy.
