The two sounds most closely allied to the monster sightings are a baby crying and a woman screaming. The baby crying sound is also well-known to psychic researchers and, according to the folklore of North Carolina and other southern states, is often heard in haunted houses and deserted cemeteries late at night. The sound of a woman wailing or screaming is, of course, the classic cry of the legendary banshee known from Africa and Ireland to Southeast Asia.

Actually, the banshee cry could be mechanical, caused by an abrupt temperature change. Phoney mediums produce this sound in séance rooms by rubbing a warm silver dollar across a piece of dry ice. Sudden temperature changes are quite common in both ghost stories and UFO reports. A room, or the interior of a car, can become unbearably hot or unbearably cold in a matter of seconds in the presence of an apparition or UFO. Flying-saucer believers regard this as a mechanical effect of the UFO’s superior technology.

It is more probable that these sound waves are being produced by the same phenomenon that alters the chemical composition of the air and generates the terrible stench. They do not emanate from a set of lusty, hair-covered vocal cords but are the result of an abrupt temperature change, which creates sudden sound waves as the warm air is forced away from a mass of frigid air.

The animals have been heard to make another sound, but it is a guttural, blubbering noise.

Sound plays another role in the monster mystery. Do you know why your local church has a loud bell, which jars you out of a sound sleep every Sunday morning? It is a holdover from a very ancient tradition known and practiced by almost every tribe on this planet. Demons are supposed to be allergic to loud sounds, particularly sounds in the ultrasonic range. When an Abominable Snowman is reported in the Himalayas, the local lamas still turn out with their bells and horns and set up an enormous racket to drive the creature away. Loud bells were used in temples long before the Christian era, not to summon worshippers but to drive away devils and evil spirits on holy days. Very high-pitched bells and musical instruments similar to dog whistles (which can’t even be heard by human ears) were the most effective way of getting rid of dragons and red-eyed monsters.

Apparently some footprint-making phantasms dissolve when exposed to a high-frequency sound. But loud sounds lower on the scale also affect them. A blast on an auto horn, for example, will send a BEN (Big Hairy Monster) scurrying for cover. A shrill note on a trumpet will clear the sky of UFOs. Police and fire sirens are also effective anti-bogeymen devices.

Dogs, cats, horses, and other animals with hearing far more sensitive than human ears often react with fear and panic before the human witnesses hear or see anything unusual. Gordon Creighton, a retired British diplomat, has compiled a catalog of hundreds of cases in which such animal reactions were noted before or during UFO sightings and occult manifestations.
