No, the jays are daytime things. At night in cold weather we get raccoons up in the shell of the bathtub when there is hot water in it topside. It scared the wife pretty badly the first time.

Critters can generate some scary sounds--but typically, they are erratic, and with a little reflection, they don't really sound like people. Raccoons are the cause of many scares. I was amazed to see one climb right up a neighbor's metal downspout one dark night--I would have thought it was too slippery.
