I am so happy I run across this video. I got up to let my dogs out and was hearing this in my woods for about 40 mins. It is a very chilling sound to say the least, but happy I know it is a fox.
I heard this last night as well! (Newfoundland, CANADA) I thought it was my parents pup (upstairs) screaming out in pain. What a rush I got :( LOL Thank god it's only a fox lol
when your walking through the woods at 3am in ya pajamas with ya brother playing harry potter in the forbidden forrest this is the last thing you wanna here, thanks man for helping us work out wha it was lol 1+
Ha. My son and I just got back from a camping trip and a fox literally walked past our tent making this blood curdling noise and my son didn't even move. I looked up "sounds of a red fox" and found your video to verify.
Thank you so much for posting this! My girlfriend and I were just woken up at 2:20AM by a terrible screaming just like this... sounded like either an alien invasion or a little girl being murdered - it scared the crap out of us. I've seen a lot of foxes on my road, so it makes perfect sense. Gotta love youtube and helpful folks like you :D
i heard that on a field at 2 o'clock in the morning with my ex-bestmate lois, we got pureeee shock; we thought someone was being attacked NO joke! we were alone and it was pitch black. we were only 12 at the time ¬_¬
haha i just heard this tonight. i live in a fairly wooded area where its quite common to see a fox and their young but never in my life i have heard their mating scream. Not only did it scare the shit out of me but it had me reaching for my gun. lol ps the call i had was much longer and really sounded like a woman screaming.
I first heard it at night when i was going to bed (around 2am) i thought some granny was getting killed so i ran outta the house with something like a corkscrew, only to find something cat side round not far away from my house, i almost shat my self, so i ran back home, and then my friend told me about them xD hah that was scary
I was just sitting with my laptop about 45 min ago and i heard this. I knew it was a fox so iwent up to the window to hear it, suddenly a crow starts cawing. so every time the fox would scream the crow would caw. except it hasnt stoped so its fucking annoying.
haha my friend and i were just walking near the woods by my house last night and this sound scared the living daylights out of us haha we ran back to my house thinking it was a person
Thank you so much for posting this. I live in a rural area, had all my windows open last night while I was on the computer and this screaming started. I'm so glad to know what it was. Thanks again! :>)

We heard the same thing this past summer.... until we shot it with a 22, we wouldnt have shot it but it was chasing us, it was scary as hell...i was afraid it was going to mugg us lol
@GacktSyndrome i just heard it when i was walking in the woods and got on youtube crying cause i thought it was like a mountain lion and i was going to die :S
I liked in the mountain in Cali and my dog had 10 pups and 1 fox would make those curling crys and our dog would go to where the fox crys were to only have another fox come up on the other side to snatch a pup....we could hear the pup crying as it was being taken off. As they say Sly as a Fox.
Haha i only looked for this sound because I was just camping out in my friends backyard and we heard the same exact sound...but it wasnt in the distance..it was maybe 20 feet from our tent...it kept us up all night lol
LOL! For the past 10 months, my dog has been plagued by the sounds of screaming. Last night at 4:45pm, he went airborne off my bed to protect me and my husband from the screaming. After talking to several co-workers, I found out we have foxes in my neighborhood and this video confirms it.
I heard this the other night next to my bedroom window and it woke me and another up, I stupidly thought it was a woman being seriously attacked until someone told me it was a fox! Checked this out and it seriously brought a chill to me again.
So this is what I've been hearing every night for the past week... only the fox in my yard is deeper voice and I think it got attacked by another (possibly the dad) because it made a yelp similar to that of a dog if you hit it. Poor thing... Been freaking the shit outta me though. I thought it was someone dragging like a stick or something along the fence...
Me and my friend were sitting on her step last and heard this!! it is such a scarey sound. we thought it was a girl screaming .. but thank god it was just a fox!
i came back from tesco about an hour ago and heard this terrible noise.me and my freind thought a girl was getin murdered im only 17 an my girl m8 is 16 we absolutly shit ourselves we ran down looking for the women while we were shouting hello trying to find her.. i phoned the police they came and said it mite be a fox and then left but iv been goin threw my hed for the past half n hour still hearin them terible screams so i checked out for fox noises and found these my mind is finally at peace
It woke me up last night too and it scared the crap out of me! I thought my cat was being attacked by some creepy creature, my boyfriend thought it was a kid screaming. It was the kind of sound we hear in horror movies. I ran outside in my PJs and all I saw was a little shadow running very fast. I didn't know foxes could scream like that!!
me and my boyfriend also woke up last night to this, but it was so noisy I bet the fox was right under our window (we live on 5th floor). It was funny how my boyfriend, who has lived more of a citylife compared to my countryside-type, was wondering what the hell is that?? "oh that´s a fox" "---fox?" "yup" :D
I am glad to now know what the hell this sound was. My husband and I have been woken up by it three times so far and our dog had gone crazy when she hears it. :)
I had my windows open last night, thought I had heard all the noises my area had to offer over the last 25 years. This woke me up at about 1am, and scared the piss out of me. Ran downstairs and outside in my underwear, thought a coyote was killing a neighbors dog or something!
OMG, that's the same sound that woke me up 40 minutes ago with constant screaming. I've been hearing it on and off for the last few days but it seemed to be extra pissed off tonight. If it continues, I will probably kill it.
Bloody hell a 5 second scream woke me up in the night i was really scared i thought it was a ghost because the house i stopped in that night is meant to be haunted
i was out on the porch one night and i heard it was like 5 ft away from me and i freaked lol i didnt know what the sound was, cuz i always thought thats what a mountain lion sounds like when its in heat. but i am mistaken, its a fox
was just laying in bed and heard that. opened the window to think some poor girl was in trouble!? very worrying sound until u know what it is. it must have been 10meters from the window as a lane runs down the back of the house by the heathland :s
I woke up to this sound the other night, heard it once before. We don't get many foxes in our town so I was unsure what it was. Kind of creeped me out a bit, but now I know it was a fox, so no problem.
Ohhh I've heard this sound before, but under much more horrible circumstances. I was sleeping and then heard this noise in a screaming pain felt way. It turns out the fox that was screaming had watched its mate get hit by a car, and its cry was the most horrific sound I have ever heard... Thanks for this video though, now I know how they're supposed to sound when not in anguish.
I heard this tonight here in Colorado. Wondered what the heck it was, went outside and there was our neighborhood fox, standing in the middle of the street. She "shrieked" once more then took off. I came in, googled it and found it to be of normal behavior, especially in Autumn when they go into heat. Good audio here, it's exactly the sound foxes make!

I learned of other ways to shut people like you up and its called intellect. Why dont you take your barbaric ways and just shove them up that hole you seem to be talking from and I'll give you a subtle hint...it's not your mouth. I'll give you a few years to figure it out you little 12 year old idiot.

Your the type of person who likes to hear themselves talk huh? I can see that with the way you continuously write on with shit that means absolutely nothing to me. All I see is a bunch of words. I get the fact that your ducks are domesticated and thats your business. But it's called fredom of speech for a reason. I can voice my opinions and you can yours. I'm just a wildlife activist ok and to each of us our own lifestyles.

Nah, they'll still look cute even if they were eating lambs and duck. Lambs however, once older than 4 months are annoying and ugly. I should know, raised a few my self in school.
