More than a few times I have woken up to the sound of a fox screaming in the middle of the night, usually between 3 am and 5 am. It sounds like a woman screaming bloody murder, or maybe a bobcat. It is the most terrifing noise you will ever hear in the middle of the night and always leads me to nightmares. Two nights ago we heard it louder than ever and it really sounded like it was right under my bedroom window. Cue the husband who has been overseas to leap out of bed and freakout. My solution? flicking the kitchen light on and off a few times. It seemed to work in getting rid of the fox, but I still had nightmares. Click here to see and hear the You Tube fox screaming. Before the neighbor told me it was a fox I thought there was a Bobcat in the neighborhood. you know , a bobcat in philadelphia, makes sense right?
