From 1991-1992 while station with the U.S. Navy I was living in
Inellan, near Dunoon. My wife and I had heard a loud cry (scream) on
two different occasions both times around dusk. Prior to hearing the
cry (scream) my wife was walking on a path surrounded by undergrowth
and she sad that she felt as if someone saw watching her (perhaps it
was the same animal that we would later hear (scream).
I have lived in areas of California where cougars (Pumas) where
sighted and paw prints where often found. I also have heard
the screams of the big cat both in zoos as well as in the California
hills. The scream is similar to what I heard while living in Inellan.
Yours, D.W.
1991 - 1992
