Living where the scary is
Sep 21st, 2006 by Nate
This morning, at around 4am, I’m awakened by this strange sound. It sounds like young children screaming and yelling in the distance, in violent pain. Incredibly freaky. After about 5 minutes of this, I think I figured out what it was. I’m almost 99% sure that it was the pride of coyotes that live across the street from us, doing whatever it is that coyotes do to each other.
Karen hears it pretty frequently, but this was my first time. And it is eerie, unworldly, and extremely unnerving. I want to tape record it, and post it. It would make perfect Halloween music.
It’s probably rabbits being attacked and killed by the coyotes or other predators.
They make a truly blood curdling noise when frightened and being killed.
