What are these mystery animals in Freehold?
We cant agree on whether its a sub or a hoagie, a jimmy or a sprinkle. We cant agree on whether we should pump our own gas or where or if Central Jersey is. Well heres an argument that so far has no winner but feel free to jump into this debate. Theres a family in Freehold puzzled by mysterious sounds coming from beneath their backyard shed. It seems an animal, or really it sounds like two animals, got under there and their growls and yelps were captured in this video taken by our producer Kylie Moore. Theyre Kylies next door neighbors, and theyd really like to know what creatures theyre dealing with here. Listen carefully enough and youll hear two distinct sounds. One is a lower range, guttural throaty growl. The other is a higher end staccato squealing. We played the audio on-air and asked for people's best guesses. Just like the jimmies sprinkles, subs hoagies, pork roll Taylor ham, not many could seem to agree. One guy was absolutely convinced it was two possums mating, and claimed when possums mate the male bites down on the neck of the female and causes that female to have that yelp. Another caller said he knew it was a raccoon killing a rabbit. That a rabbit when being killed would normally have a louder and more sustained scream but that the raccoon was choking its neck in its jaws causing the more interrupted squealing. There were also guesses of a coyote with its pup. A ground hog killing a rabbit. One woman said she wasnt certain of the species but that they were babies of some sort nursing. Though several people agreed it was two foxes either having sex or acting up. Wed love to know. The post above reflects the thoughts and observations of New Jersey 101.5 talk show host Jeff Deminski.
