May 2001

May 15th, 2001 My wife and I recently relocated to Sonora from San Jose Ca. I live in the vicinity of Nile River Drive. My back yard is open to the forest before you get to Comstock Ranch. Well my wife and I were just finishing up dinner. The sun had just set and I decided to let my 2 small dogs off the deck and let them run around outside. About 10 minutes while I was at the back of the house, I heard this indescribable scream. I told my wife to let the dogs in as I could hear through an open window the rustling around, one of my dogs was barking...I ran to open the sliding glass door...only one dog made it back in. The other one never came home. I contacted DFG and notified them of the screams that I heard. I still hear them every once in a while coming from the back of my home that leads to the forest. I do not let my dogs outside at night any longer.

In the early 1980's I lived in Mi-Wuk Village. One night I was awoken by the most horrible screaming which I had assumed was a woman in terrible distress. My friend and I went down to wake up his dad who had considered calling the sheriff but the sound had stopped by then.

I do think there is a chance that absent of a direct sighting, that many of these reports in this area might be from mountain lions as they can be quite diverse in their vocalizations.

My experience was a long time ago, I was 15 at the time around 1982, and the comparison to the above link has big differences within my memory. Just thought I'd throw it out here for analysis.
