All i could here was this loud screaming, sent the OH (brave me) to find out if everything was OK. We seriously thought a woman was being hurt in some way around the back of our house. He ran out of the house and there were other people in gardens trying to find the source of the sound. It stopped after about 10 minutes. OH had a walk around and couldn't see anything so came home. I suddenly remembered reading some where about fox's screaming! so did a quick search on you tube and we have come to the conclusion that's what it was as we have seen fox's in the garden.
Scarest sound i have ever heard, anyone else heard it before?
Glad i didn't ring the police would have looked a bit silly :P
