[Peace Is Coming]

A screech owl makes an ungodly sound that seems to come out of nowhere.

I have always wanted to hear a screech owl ever since I was little. I was told they sounded like a woman screaming.

They sound exactly like a woman screaming. We used to live in the country, my husband was away, it was the middle of the night, I had the bedroom window open. I awoke to a blood curdling scream right outside my window, I sat upright in bed, I was frozen in fear. The children were asleep in another room and I wanted to run to them but I couldn't move. Then from a distance I heard the scream again and I knew it was a bird of some sort even tho I had never heard one before. I think the people in this story heard a screech owl.
