Great podcast guys! I had to comment, I live in Western Pennsylvania, have grown up here all my life (35yrs) not far from Clearfield and Cambria county, and I have experienced that horrid sound Lon described like a baby being murdered in the middle of the night. It was about 20yrs ago, my dad and I were sitting up late at night watching tv and we suddenly heard this sound outside like one of my neighbors was killing their kid. Seriously, it is a bone chilling sound like an infant in extreme terrifying distress. My dad muted the tv and we listened again for the sound, hearing it a couple more times. Now he’s a life long hunter, our area is surrounded by dense woods filled with native american trails we all are use to hiking. It is not uncommon to have a bear or any other wild animal suddenly run past you even in a tiny residential village like where we resided. He turned to me and said it was a bobcat screaming. I, of course, as a young teen, believed him. As an adult, however, I have gone back and listened repeatedly to bobcat calls, fox calls, mountain lion screams, anything I could believe it to be and none of them compare. And no, no neighbor kids had gone missing that night. I have experienced many weird things where I grew up, but that was one I will never forget and I’m not surprised when others tell me they have heard the same thing without resolve as to what it was.
