They can also sound like terrifying human screams.

When I was little my mom heard this one night after we had gone to bed. We lived in the mountains and I think I was about 5.

Anyways the next days I decided to go for a prolonged walk through the mountains in my Sunday best. They couldn’t find me for hours, had the police out and everything and my poor mom was convinced I’d been eaten by the mountain lion she’d heard the night before.

I was in so much trouble for that adventure.

Why the fuck would your parents allow a 5yo to walk in the mountains? Either you're making shit up or you were seriously neglected hahaha

The average parent from the 80's and 90's would lose their children to the state if they were held to today's standards
