Last night (September 27, 2014) at 9:45 my wife and I heard a loud scream coming
from the woods behind our home. I wasn’t sure exactly what it was. One hour later
we heard it again. This sound clip is not edited other than cutting out the
intervening hour to get the two screams on one clip. I left the katydids and the
background noise in as not to distort the scream.
