Mystery solved!!
Remember my post "Up all night?" You know, the one where I was up 1/2 the night b/c I heard a horrible noise around 3am, and was too scared to go back to sleep? Well, Emily heard the same noise last evening around 7pm. She and John opened up the window and listened to them howling. ( I had gone to the drugstore to pick up a prescription for Abby,who has an ear infection), and when I got home,John told me what happened.Before I got back, the neighbors called and asked if we heard the coyotes out back. Apparently, it's mating season for them. John said thats exactly what I heard. I asked him if he would have been scared if that noise woke him up. He said that he would have realized what it was b/c he had heard them before. He did admit that it was a really scary noise if you had never heard it before. AHHHH... I do feel so much better now. As time has gone on I realized that it had to be an animal that I heard that night, but I did not have any definite answers. I am SO relieved to finally know for sure what it was!!!

I think city noises would scare me moe than the country noises do. Sirens, gunshots, screeching tires... Yeah, those are much scarier than howling coyotes or screaming foxes.
I am glad you finally solved the mystery! Do you remember me telling you that one time when Alan was out to sea, I heard a noise and called the police? I thought it sounded like someone was in the house. Turned out, it was my neighbor's dog scraping his dish against the pavement, but it echoed in my house because our ceiling was high. At least your story isn't embarrassing!
Heather's comment made me smile! At least you hadn't called the police, though they might've been able to tell you what it was. Glad the mystery is finally solved!
