Imagine the total darkness of deep night, the silence of slumber is shattered by the sound of a horrific moaning or screaming. The sound is shrill, high pitched, and sounds like a woman crying out or jabbering in excited terror.
Ghosts, bloodsucking creature of the doomed, monsters, Bigfoot or the ill-defined but prevalent "Skinwalkers" of Native American lore. and beliefs.
Video and audio collections online are filled with captures of bizarre sounds. Many, however, do have a basis in something real, breathing and physical.
Cougars, bobcats, panthers, and coyotes can all create howls and cries that fill that bill. Coyotes are often depicted with their mournful yipping cry. Sounds and their purposes vary. A call out to see "is anyone there?" to "want to hook up?" and to other communication purposes. Sometimes, it is a basic statement that the creature is out, and others beware.
A common feature of all these animals, and the cries of racoons, foxes, and others, is shrillness. Even the cougar starts out with a low rough growl, but the pitch rises, and the shrillness of the hissing housecat comes through.
In comparison, however, many of the available audio samples of alleged Bigfoot calls or cries seem to fall within a lower range. A search for studies of the audio qualities of Bigfoot calls compared to other animals came up empty. They may have been done but were not easily available but here is one...
It is clear some significant research is needed to expand this aspect of studies into this cryptid. Right now a lot of focus is on merely mapping reports and revealing grainy photos of a "something" (real, mistaken identity or hoax).
