Haven't felt this scared in a long time. Got out of my truck and was trying to get my cell phone out to shine a light on my keys in the pitch black. That's when I hear what sounded like a girl screaming bloody murder for like 2 seconds. Thoroughly crapped my pants, froze and after about 5 seconds I hear dogs barking. Got to my front door quickly and these yotes start going buck wild. Realized they must have just killed a rabbit, but it shook me up good. Are you guys too tough for this story?

should have got one of those barking dogs to clean up the mess. i hear you're into that sort of thing

Thought for sure it was gonna be a screech owl.

Im not 100% sure what it was. Just got scared again.

If it sounds like a teenage woman screaming a death knell, it's a screech owl. Horrible, horrible sound. Google it.

Thats actually pleasant sounding in comparison. It had to have been a eastern cottontail getting mauled.

My mistake- barn owl. (although most I've seen are nowhere near as big as this one)

I thought it was going to be a mountain lion scream.

I dont thinkI would ever want to be bitten by one of those.

The screaming cottontail or pack of yotes?

At, I think your right about the screech being fully capable of sounding like what I heard...the barn owls around here generally just hoot a lot.

That shitbird is wretched aweful

The first time I heard one of those echoing through the woods just after sunset was when I was deer hunting, about 14 years old. I peed a little.

To sum it up=14 year old at was as tough as I am today.
