Screams in the Night

Occasionally we hear some odd sounds at night out here in the country. While sleeping with the windows open one night, Dionne and Maya were awoken by some eerie screaming that came from the field between our rental cottage and the landlord's house. It lasted for about a minute and sounded unlike any animals they had heard (but you must remember, we're still relatively new to the country!). When the screaming stopped, the chickens could be heard quietly clucking amongst themselves as if to say "Be very quiet or we may be next!" A few nights later, on the weekend, we heard the same (or a similar) noise and I was able to capture it on my cellphone.

We're still not 100% sure what it was, but my guess is coyotes fighting over a deer carcass. Either that or the chupacabra.

Sounds like 2 opossums fighting or 2 racoons fighting or an owl just caught a flying squirrel. It doesn't sound like a rabbit bit the dust. Once you hear that awful hair on the back of the neck sound you never forget it. Gives me goosebumps just thinking about it.
OR it could be Sasquatch..of course he and the family would have to be on vacation to be in this area of the woods:)
