Right...
So last night, at about 1am I popped outside for a smoke before I went to bed.

I didn't bother putting the light on, as there was a bright moon.

So, there I was, leaning against the corner of my house, when I heard this weird-as-hell noise.

It's hard to explain on here, it was like a combination of a shout and a groan and a growl, very far away.
Almost sounded like it had a slight reverb/echo to it. Really odd.

I listened carefully, and a few seconds later, there it was again.

I live in the middle of the countryside, so there are no noises from traffic or other people. I only have three other people living in a mile radius of my house.
And I'm out there smoking every night, never heard it before.
I've heard plenty of other noises, but all of them have been explainable.

Anyway, then I heard it again, much louder, and the dog that the people next door have went fucking mental, barking and snarling.

Then I heard it again, for longer, about the same volume.

Sounds like a child is being fucked to death with a kitchen knife? That'd be a fox.
A dirty, snarling, grunting noise like an old man with rabies jerking it at a bus-stop? That's be a couple of young badgers play-fighting.

So yeah, I know what noises are what, and I have no fucking clue what that one was.
I'm not afraid to admit that it properly freaked me out.
