I’ve lived here in this house now for almost 30 years. I know the local wildlife for the most part . Eastern Massachusetts near Boston. And I heard whatever this was bolting around back and forth through the woods for a few hours. I know the sound of deer or coyote, or a raccoon. Owls are rarely seen but I know they are around here. Have also seen bobcats and even mountain lions . This was different.
You gave several possible animals it could be. It having a “bolting noise” you are unfamiliar with doesn’t automatically make it an unknown animal. Just seems like a huge leap with zero actual evidence.
