Witness Account:
My fiance and I live in the woods in Texas. There are many animals around like rabbits and raccoons, but nothing much bigger, other than the deer, but lately there have been some strange occurrences. A few weeks ago our neighbors had their dog out, a large black lab that had a temper problem. He is an extremely aggressive dog, my boyfriend and I went for a walk and when we pass their house the dog always barks as us. It was only a short walk, about a half hour total, but when we passed by the house again, the dog didn't bark like usual and there was an awful smell like blood around the house. A few days later we spoke to the people and they said their dog was torn apart by some large animal, literally clawed to pieces.
The other night we went out for a walk about midnight, no moon out and we had a flashlight. My boyfriend is a weapons designer so he always likes to carry a sword when we go out to the woods, just in case. Well we had walked about an hour down the path and suddenly we heard a loud scream from the woods like a dying animal. It was so loud and close that it hurt our ears. It sounded like those coyote calls that imitate a dying rabbit. We ran to the trees to look and shined the flashlight everywhere, we saw nothing so we continued walking. We had walked a little ways and I had the strangest feeling like we were being watched so we stopped and shined the light into the trees again, there was nothing so again, we walked on.
A few minutes later, we heard crackling leaves and branches being broken by something walking next to us in the woods. We stopped again and looked, there was definitely something there and it was watching us, but it was careful to stay just out of sight. We could hear it shifting around staying just beyond our vision and it did not sound small by any means. Now, my boyfriend will never turn down a challenge so he put on a large territorial display, similar to a cougar with the growling and everything. The animal didn't move, he threw several rocks into the area and listened to the echoes to find where it sat then threw a stray piece of rebar at it, we heard it thump whatever it was. Loudly. The creature growled, but made no move so we continued walking. We could hear it following alongside us in the woods on the way back home, but it never came out. Again it came close to the edge of the trees so my boyfriend again put up a territorial display. I shined the light into the trees where I thought it was, and there it was! It was huge, brownish red in color, and very fine fur or hair, and it was on 2 legs, but we couldn't get a good look at it. As soon as the light hit, the creature took off at full speed and hid behind a tree, I put the light on it again and it sped off into the trees, faster than anything I've ever seen in my life. My boyfriend and I decided to head home now because we were kinda freaked out by what we'd seen. On our way home we saw some eyes near the road, there was an awful screaming again, but quieter, we shined the light on the eyes and they were cats, yelling at the bushes, clearly terrified by whatever was in it. When the light shined on the cats, they freaked out and jumped, they had no idea we were there because they were concentrating on the bushes. We walked past the cats, carefully avoiding the bush and continued on our way. It was then that it became even more strange, we heard this loud noise like a jet right above our heads and there was an odd looking (we assume military) aircraft moving slowly overhead. Then our dog Bear began barking 3 streets over, (he has a very distinct bark because his vocal cords were injured before we got him) and howling madly as if he was hurt so we hurried home and went into the house, after we were inside we could hear what sounded like knocking on the window but we didn't see anything.
Sounds:
Growling that sounded like a large cougar or other predator.
