Scary Creature In The Dark

[dalthauser]

I woke up in the middle of the night due to what I assume was an animal making eerie night calls.  
I have no idea what it was, but it was frightening.  

I went to the bathroom window and opened it to look out.  I didn't turn the light on so it's pitch dak - it makes the noise again, and my whole body got the chilly goosebump feeling.... so creepy, yet strangely exhilarating - like how you feel watching a vampire movie in the dark.

I slammed the window shut and ran out to shut the chickens in their coop. 
(Which, looking back on the situation was incredibly stupid - scary creature in the dark - let's leave the safety of the house and go outside in our nightgown....)

It's possible it was one of the sheep next door (sounded like it could possibly be that), but when I went outside I couldn't see any of them.

When I got back inside I just laughed at myself :-)

OMG... creeeeepy... how loyal of you to go out on behalf of your chickens... I find that admirable and courageous! not sure I would have had the guts. We do have to close in our birds every night at dusk since we've lost some to bobcats, skunks & who knows what else!
