YouTube it, search for the animals listed above for their calls. Have the person hear them and choose what sounded the closest.

Bobcat or mountain lion, if they're in your area.

Probably a fisher cat, they can be really nasty to, if it sounds like a baby screeching in the woods at night, its most likely a fisher cat. can grow to be 40lbs, weasel like predator, will destroy hens and chickens just for the fun of it.

Bobcat or mountain lion..

I would agree on this one.

Where I grew up we had a TON of bobcats. They sound like a woman screaming as if she was screaming for her life.

It's the creepiest sound I have ever heard. :

There aren't any fisher cats in NC that I know of.
No mountain lions either.

It could be bobcat.

What I hear the most making a god awful scream at night are foxes. I know what a fox sounds like so I know what they are.

My second choice would be a rabbit who was caught by a fox.

Those are the most likely.

3rd choice in NC would be a bobcat.

I have heard a screech owl scream that I was ready to call the cops about because I was convinced it was a woman being murdered.

 

[DiamondKKs]

I was just going to say Owl and even Rabbits can make pretty loud screams if caught.

It was a Bobcat.
