My night of terror by Fangirl Three
At 3.30 this morning I was awakened by an unearthly squawking and screeching, as if the Witch-king was descending on our street riding a huge undead seagull. Up and down the street went the noise, while I cowered in bed, not even daring to look out through the curtains in case the powers of evil spotted me.
Then it stopped and I was able to lie awake terrified for 90 minutes before getting up.
Given the time of year, foxes were a possibility but I didn't hear any running-about noises. And the fox noise is more like a woman wailing than a seagull squawking.

It may have been a barn owl. They do like a good screech.

That was the sound I heard, but it was more continuous, like a seagull.
I have heard owls to-whooing from time to time, but not this screeching.

The ones that go to-whooing are tawny owls.

Good point, what I heard on the to-whoo occasion was actually just 'Wh-wh-wh-whoooooooooooo'.
That was very calming though, knowing that owls were hard at work protecting me from killer mice, voles, shrews etc.
Not like the hellish undead screeching last night.

I still don't believe that we discount the theory that it was Nyarlathotep riding aback a rugose, dead-eyed Byakhee accompanied by a pack of slavering, loathsome, ichor-spewing Hounds of Tindalos.

Or a strawberry seed crazed flock of killer canaries.

Could it be a couple of new residents were having a sh*g? Some people are very inelegant during. The timings, the never before heard element, and the two distinct parts to the cacophony make me think this is a strong possibility.

I kind of hope the noises I heard weren't coming from humans. Particularly not humans in the throes of o*g*sm.

Stop it all of you. If it happens again tonight I'll have all these images, Nyarlathotep, killer canaries, the Witch-king on his seagull, Ishtar avatar, and fox/owl/human s*x, thronging my fevered consciousness.

Luckily I've taken on board 3 high quality whisky miniatures which were in the post-Christmas bargain bin in Tescos, and am consequently free of all fear

I still think it's likely a couple of humans of the Essex variety. If it happens again, fling the window open and scream 'shut the f*ck up'. In my experience, both animal and human sources of noise will cease immediately, but animals will soon enough get back to the previous level. Humans won't. Then you'll know.

That whisky was very nice, particularly the Talisker Storm. It quite made up for Thursday night.
