"I opened the window to see if I could hear more clearly on where it was coming from.

"It sounded to be coming from quite a distance away but I couldn’t quite tell what direction it was. It seemed too loud to be a person, but it went on for a few minutes before stopping.

"It was like a loud, pained, repeated scream or screeching noise. I just wondered if others heard it.”
