In my town, there are very few patches of woods these days. One such patch is behind my house. Normally its quiet, but that night something decided to just scream it's little heart out. I was standing outside spending time with a couple of neighborhood cats when I heard this horrible scream come from the back yard. The cats were spooked, as was I. A normal person would have high tailed it inside. Fortunately, or unfortunately, I am not a normal person.
I followed it to the woods. I never once saw an animal. I never heard any crashing through the woods or the dead leaves breaking as something ran away. At about 00:20, you can hear the chittering. I have lived in this area for 32 years and never once have I heard something like it. What gets me is how quiet the neighborhood got when it let out the first scream. I wish I had gotten it when it happened, it sounded like the angriest woman in the world, but it was not a fox. Do you know what it was?
