The story was submitted to the paranormal site Unexplained Mysteries by a user named "SpiritS".
The scene is the city of Dorion, Ontario, Canada.
“When I was 23 years old, I decided to buy a separate private house. The houses were expensive in the cities, but in the suburbs one could find much cheaper options.
And so I found a suitable option. It took almost an hour to get from this house to the place of work, but it was a comfortable two-story mansion with three rooms.
The house was located in a tiny village for 300 inhabitants and the city lights were not even visible here, the sky at night here was completely black with a scattering of stars.
My closest neighbor lived a few acres from me and his house was not even visible behind the bushes.
Soon I met one guy and we started dating, and then we even went to the forest for a hike. I liked it with a new partner and the question arose about him becoming my regular boyfriend.

And soon after returning from the campaign, this story happened.
To begin with, I will clarify that I live in a house not alone, but with three pets: a dog, a cat and a small pig mini-pig. The pig always sleeps on the ground floor in his house, the cat and the dog are with me in the bedroom upstairs.
That night I quickly fell asleep in a deep sleep and suddenly my dog, lying next to me on the bed, jumped up at once from a completely eerie and loud piercing scream, similar to a woman's. It felt like a scream came right under my window.
The scream did not stop and I even instinctively covered my ears with my hands. The dog jumped up and barked, the cat jumped up from its seat and ran out, then I heard the alarmed grunt of my pig from below.
The cry was repeated intermittently. It was a loud and long shrill scream, which was repeated 3-4 times in a row, and then from 5 to 8 times the screams were already muffled, as if it went further from home.
My thoughts were confused. What it is? Do they want to kill me? Scare? What can make such sounds ?!
And at first the sound was very similar to the voice of a heart-rending screaming woman, but then it became kind of automatic, as if a siren sounded. And then I even thought that aliens wanted to attack me.
The screams came farther and farther until they were completely gone. I do not know of any local animal that can scream like that, and I also could not just get up and see what it was, I was struck by fear and I lay trembling on the bed.
In Ireland and Scotland, similar heart-rending strange female screams are attributed to the Banshee creature.
Also I kept thinking what happened to my dog. When the screams began, she barked and ran down, but then the barking abruptly stopped, and the screams continued.
The screams were heard between approximately 1.25 and 1.45 am, and it was even possible to track that they were not standing still, but moving.
Then I called my boyfriend, with whom I was on the hike, and told him everything. I also said that my dog Max had never come back and I was afraid for him. But after about twenty minutes Max finally came to my bedroom and he was unharmed.
Later that night, I heard a noise in the vicinity, as if from some large vehicle. When it passed near my house, I even felt the vibration from the shaking.
And it was still strange the next morning. I met a neighbor and asked if he had listened to the screaming screams that night. But he said he had never heard anything like it."
