What's That Sound? - animal that says "help me"

I have a strange question I hope you can answer for me.  I live in rural SW 
Missouri.  I couple of nights ago my neighbors and I noticed someone 
screaming "help me!" from a little distance away.  We couldn't tell exactly 
where the sound was coming from but based on the breeze that night we felt 
it was less than a mile away.  It sounded like a young boy screaming "help 
me!" and then occasionally just a scream.  It sounded very much like a 
panicked child.  We searched several hundred acres of pasture looking for 
someone in trouble.  The next day an old farmer who lives nearby told us he 
has what he believes to be a bird on his property that sounds like a small 
boy yelling for help.  Guests at his home have definitely noticed it.  Is 
there such a thing as a bird or animal that could make this sort of 
noise?  We of course never found a young boy in trouble.  Thank you for 
your help.
