Weird screaming in the middle of the night.

Post by Sky'sGoneOut »

Honestly I thought perhaps I was going mad!

I've been waking up the last few mornings to hideous shrieks like nothing a human larynx could produce.

Much to my disappointment it turns out it's foxes and not a cosmic Lovecraftian elder god considering its prospects in a new and different age.

Noisy little buggers, aren't they. And, as you say, decidedly otherworldly.

When we first moved to Gloucestershire from London I nearly phoned the police, thought a young girl was being murdered. Turned out to be foxes.

They make a variety of noises too. We have a female fox comes regularly for food and when her pups are big enough she brings them with her. The noises she makes when she's telling them what to do are dead peculiar.

And I buy bones from the butcher for her :)
