1980-84?

After an evening of movie watching I decided to releive myself outside and get some fresh air. Walking out into the cool night air about 50 to 100 feet and stopped, just as I began enjoying the silence of the woods, I began hearing shrill, bloodcurdling screams of in the distance. The more I focused in on it trying to figure out what it was coming from, the more bizzare it sounded. The hair literally stood on the back of my neck. The only sound I can compare it to is a cross between a woman sceaming in intense agony, and a mountain lion cry. I have never heard anything like that in my 34 years of life. I really just wanted to get back in the house and lock the door.
