Probably the foxes or coyotes screaming in the middle of the night, sounding like someone being murdered in the woods. That or the time we woke up to snuffling outside the tent flap and found bear scat in the campsite the next morning.
I'll never forget the conviction with which my wife once woke me up proclaiming a woman needed help. Waited a minute for another howl and taught her something new that night!
Foxes are terrifying if you don't know what they are, and even if you do you can be caught off guard.
I grew up near fox cover, they'd come down from the wooded hills to scavenge/go after poultry.
We had a big dumb outside dog - one fox would go one end of the house making noise, which would send him barreling down to the fence barking like crazy. Then another fox would hop in and steal his food at the other end
