Living by yourself in rural areas is wonderful. However every now and then you’ll hear a noise at 2am and not sleep right for a week. Only downside really
I had a similar experience last week and it turned out a neighbor kid had shot himself with a flare gun.

On Halloween night…
Cougars in heat sound like a woman being murdered. Bigger louder sound than a fox. Terrifying if you don’t know what it is, and a bit terrifying if you do.
I thought you were talking about women that like younger men, and that was confusing
¿Por qué no los dos?
I wasn’t confused until you pointed out this isn’t what they meant.
Are there cat-girl women who like younger men living in rural areas?
No need to answer, I’m moving, let me get surprised.
Their screams can vary in pitch and intensity.
Instead it’s just sin crouching at your door ❤️❤️
I was thinking about rabbits, too, that get very vocal when a predator catches them.
Probably a fox
Don’t be a puss anon…
barn owl
I go camping late in the year and am often the only person in the entire campground in the middle of nowhere. It was mid November in Illinois and I was at a campground that you had to drive 20 minutes of heavily forested winding dirt trail to get to the site. There was already a strong creep factor. Around 2AM I’m laying awake and freezing my ass off when I hear a scream from the woods the sounded like something out of a 1950s horror film. Scared the living shit out of me. Stayed the rest of the night in the car with a shovel and a big fuck all knife.
I’d never heard an owl screech before. I didn’t know they did that.
yup they do be doing that. never actually heard one myself irl but it’s probably the most otherworldly bird call (or actually animal call period) i know. there’s other weird ones (look up three-wattled bell bird) but nothing compares to the fucking barn owl.
Anon doesn’t know what a wild fox mating call sounds like and is a dumb fuck.
Exactly, just let it in and mate with it. What a rube
Take one for the team, it’ll shut it up and spare the rest of the neighborwood.
If you are curious how that sounds like, here’s a helpful video https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=jofNR_WkoCE
Or a Fisher cat.
Fisher cat was the Animal of the day or whatever on pbs kids today. I’ve seen the same 30 second blurb about them several times. Now I’ve seen this comment and a lemmy post about the Animal. Real red car syndrome thing happening for me
I saw this post minutes ago, finished reading this thread, then backed out and continued scrolling.
Five posts down I saw a post linking to the Wikipedia article for Fisher cats.
They say this is how it starts…
Two lovers in the dark…
No, wait, wrong thing
Brah! Just enjoy the beauty of all your ancestors sacrificing everything so that you have a bunch of big-ass walls to protect you from scary shit. Life is great* now!
*Ymmv
Cougars have a freaky roar as well. Some say it’s where the banshee wail came from
You might be thinking of foxes, there aren’t any cougars in Ireland.
Avalynne O’Brien is pretty close
Hahaha, I did not see that coming, what have I become?
I bet there are. Maybe not the kind you’re thinking of.
I’d say cougars inspired the folktale of La Llorona.
I was sat at home alone one night, have my first joint in months. Sat at back door looking out into the woods and think I can hear a girl sobbing. I must be stoned as hell. Then I clearly hear some girl shouting help me! In my pyjamas and Crocs I up and run off into the woods.
While running through the woods my stoned brain says to me if I were planning an ambush, this is what I’d do.
Shut up brain.
Find a young woman sobbing in the pitch darkness off the path in the woods.
Calllm her down. She had an argument with her boyfriend and he took her phone and left her in the woods, she doesn’t know where she is.
I offer to drive her to the hotel she says she’s staying at.
Halfway there I see the cops coming out of the station and flag them down, they were just on their way out to look for this girl.
I tell them what happened and they said I could be on my way.
Thank fuck as I was too high to be talking to cops.
Turns out that girl and her boyfriend work at the hotel with my mate, he says this happens once a week, her boyfriend had in fact not taken her phone she had it all along, he just walked off when she started causing drama again.That ended much better than initially anticipated. Thanks.
I’ve heard rabbits being carried off by owls in the night also sounds like a child being murdered
I’m going to bet fox.
Those mofos sound like someone is murdering a 13 yr old girl.
They regularly use them as a sound effect in murder mysteries.
Midsummer Murders, in particular, used the fox cry so often that I had to look up what the hell it was
Rabbits sound fucked too…
Coyotes too occasionally…
Or wanton murder. Someone has to be a statistic lol.
I’ve heard coyotes while trail running through the woods. That sound will definitely make you fucking run faster.
Rabbits sounds like screaming babies! Nearly had a heart attack when one got stuck in the spokes of a decorative antique bicycle in the garden and the neighbour’s cat was swatting at it. My mom was out there crying, trying to pull it out.
Must awaken something deep in the mammal brain. There was a video of a wildlife cam where a hawk or something grabbed a rabbit which started screaming, and a deer came running and absolutely stomped the life out of the bird.
There really isn’t that big of a difference between our brains! Well, apart from them all dying in agony without any real understanding of what it means to die. Like a trillion babies mauling each other to death every hour. Sweet dreams and be happy we are human!

Thank you for sharing, I had not seen that. Fucking hell. Nature is scary.
Dude. rabbits!
Did not know the horror until family visited and their dog caught one and was playing with it. So terrifying!
As far as I know they go by pipiripipi pipiripipi ahu ahu ahuuu
I heard they go hatee-hatee-hatee-ho!
What does the fox say?
How do you know
They are the ghost of a murdered 13 year old girl.
I live in a small city but fairly close to the edge of wooded hills. All sorts of critters venture down around my house. One day, a fox was running around, maybe 50 yards away. It looks at me, runs away a bit, stops and looks back, does it again. I’m on my front porch, near my door. It turns to face me and we lock eyes. Staring contest. We’re having a moment. Suddenly it barks, a gritty high pitched chirp. Felt like an ice cube slid up my butthole.
You ain’t heard shit until you’ve been camping around koalas alone. It’s not okay.
Not quite as long as they get but its women screams:
Mating call is satanic:
I’m going for the timeless classic : a cat in heat. In my experience they produce a wide variety of “kid getting murdered” sounds
Yeah we have a bunch in our neighborhood and when they start going off it’s terrifying.
I describe fox noises as sounding like a combination of shock and pain, like someone getting unexpectedly stabbed in the back with a fondue fork at what was up until then a nice party.
When seconds count, cops are hours away.
Just coexist with (super)natural horrors, they are not that bad once you get used to them, def not as bad as humans.
That’s is why they are more afraid of you than you are of them, humans can and will outclass any horror beyond our comprehension, like for fun or sport.
Hell even if it’s a young girl being murdered, the average channer would only be jealous, and likely safe, who is gonna make two totally separate kills?
He can’t ult again for a while, so it’s safe for now.
