Sometime during the nite I was awakened by an animal in the woods close to =
our house.&nbsp; For about 10 minutes it continued to make rather high-pitc=
hed scream that would last 20 to 30 seconds...there was no change in pitch =
at the beginning or end.&nbsp; My dogs, who were sleeping with me, got extr=
emely upset at this noise, so I couldn't always hear it above the barking.&=
nbsp; Just curious, anyone have any suggestions as to what the creature wou=
ld be that would make this type of noise?&nbsp; We have the Folly River jus=
t below our house, and lots of mixed woodland.&nbsp; It seems to me we had =
an animal like this at the cottage&nbsp; in Economy a couple of years ago, =
and the neighbors thought it was either a Martin or a Fisher.&nbsp; I was w=
ondering about a Badger?&nbsp; Just curious, as my dogs run around loose on=
 my property and I wouldn't want to put them in any danger.&nbsp; I've actu=
ally been saying lately that there is something around the house that is up=
setting the dogs...they go out and bark once as if to announce themselves, =
then are watchful, and stand quietly sniffing the air...there is definitely=
 something different living handy our house!<br />Maria Forman<br />Debert,=
