animal noises
5 Answers
every night outside at around 11pm there is the most horrific screaming noise. It sounds like a girl being murdered and is so loud. We have squirrels, badgers and foxes in the garden - could any of them be making the noise. At first thought it was animals getting killed but it is literally every night so cant be really...

Am sure it's almost certainly foxes. They visit us regularly at night (to be fed) and their mating calls can sound exactly as if a female is screaming out for help. The first time I heard it I nearly leapt out of bed and rung the police thinking somebody nearby was being attacked or raped. Now we've got used to it, but if you're not familiar with the sound, I agree, it can be quite terrifying.
