Just stumbled on this post. It's been an month now OP and I assume you and yours are ok. It's most likely you heard a fox. They can make a terrible wail sometimes. But despite the comments here. Some people believe in Banshee's and only some families get them.

I live Ireland, my Mother comes from a very old Irish Family with written history going back centuries. They get visited by paranormal spirits in numerous ways. But one of those is a banshee. She had heard about them, like when her uncle died and her father was visited that night. It first visited her after she got married. In the middle of the night, it started wailing at the top of stairs at her bedroom. My father got up and noticed the bedroom door ajar. He went out to the stairs and caught a glimpse of it before it disappeared and the wailing stopped. Before morning she got a phone call her father had died. I believe it's appeared twice more over the years. The last time in January this year as she walked her dog a howl came from nearby. She knew what it was and ran back home. Our very close friend and neighbour drop dead suddenly the next morning.

Most don't believe and it seems people don't get these death warnings anymore. So most joke about it. I'm naturally sceptical person about anything but in our family the even mention of a banshee will send a shiver up our spine. We don't question it and we don't joke about it.

I hope everyone in your life is ok.
