I saw a video recently talking about how generally people living in the country ignore weird noises in the woods, and it reminded me of some of the weird noises i’ve heard from the woods near my house.

i want to know your scariest stories about stuff like that because I can’t sleep anyway so I may as well have a reason. it can be real experiences or more urban legend type stories, I just can’t find enough good scary stuff because the internet sucks now.

    I’ll sometimes hear what sounds like eerie cries of agony coming from the woods. I looked it up, it turns it was just foxes.

      Specifically, foxes shagging.

      Which tends to sound like an infant being raped. Super distressing.

      A weird and distressing noise woke me this morning. Pretty sure it was a fox. It’s not even near the woods here, but I’ve seen urban ones around if I’ve looked out early in the morning.

      The alternative is that it was a dog being suddenly and unexpectedly hurt, and I’d prefer to think it wasn’t that.
