Marty... Maybe you know what it is since you have weird sightings on your mountain?
Last night I turned my husky out in the back yard. It was dark and he needed to relieve himself. I waited for about 5 minutes and then went to bring him in. Well, I couldn't see him from the door. So I went out in the back, and there he was with his front feet high up in a tree. Mind you that this dog was worked up into a frenzy and when he stands on his hind legs he can put his front feet on my shoulders and I am over 6 foot tall.
Anyway, I go to get him and he won't let me near him or the trees. I look up into the trees and see absolutely nothing. Yet the go is running the fence line where we have a row of trees and is just frantic.
Then I hear it... It wasn't a hiss like a cat makes, but yet some form of a hiss. And it growled somewhat. Again I thought of a cat, but first off there are not any in the neighborhood, and second it didn't have that cat type of sound. I could hear it try to move through the tree. First to my left, and then to my right. And the dog, well, that stupid idiot of a mutt wouldn't let me catch him. He had it confined to a tree and he wanted it for dinner. But again, I couldn't see it. But when I went to reach for the dog's collar, I bent over to make sure I wasn't close to the braches and it would hiss/growl as soon as I tried to get the dog. I finally got the dog and went into the house to get a flashlight and went back out. Nothing there.... It had disappeared altogether.
So what was that thing? What sort of wild things can climb trees with small branches and not be seen? And what sort of wild things can be small and make hissing and growling types of sounds when in a tree? Any ideas anyone?
