I was sitting in my living room late one night when I heard what sounded like someone getting stabbed to death in the street. I went outside and the sound seemed like it was coming from one direction at first, then the opposite direction a few seconds later. Eventually I spotted it in a neighbor's yard - a fox.
I called animal control and they told me that there was nothing that could be done about it. It was mating season and - although disconcerting - that's normal behavior. He was either looking for a mate or trying to ward off a competitor. Anyway, here's a video of it (more of a sound recording, since it was so dark). You might have to turn the sound up a little.
