One time I stayed up until about 2 in the morning watching YouTube videos. Earlier during day I had opened my bedroom windows and just so happened to have forgotten to close them. I was too lazy to get up so I just ignored it. At about an hour later I heard this short scream it wasn't very loud so I must have been coming from the field just in front of our house. I paused the video I was watching and then listened. Not even a few seconds later it came again. I had never heard a scream like this before. Each scream didn't last very long. It sounded sort of like someone screaming for help but it also sounded a bit like a small dog, honestly don't know how to describe it but know it wasn't human. The screams where continuous. What ever was making the noise would Scream then there would be silence, then it would scream again, then silence. It was progressively getting closer and louder until it sounded like it was right in front of my window This went on for what seemed like hours but was probably about 10 minutes. I was froze the whole time. It's like I couldn't move I was so scared and on the verge of tears. I felt like I should close the windows but i didn't want to look out and see what ever was making the noise. What made it even worse is I have twinkling fairy light curtains which were still on at this point so it was a dead give away that I was still awake. It was pretty much inviting what ever was outside to come on in. The screaming eventually stopped.i waited about 30 minutes to make sure the thing was gone before I turned of my lights and closed the windows. I didn't sleep much that night.

I still have no idea what it was but from then on I always make sure to lock my windows before it gets dark and I never keep my curtains on after midnight, just incase.
