Everyone has at one time been scared of the dark. Face it. The other night I was fast asleep when I heard something very strange outside my window. It was around 3am when I heard something scream. I thought it was the annoying neighbors but this sounded less human the more I listened. I went over a list of animals in my head that it could be. None matched that sound. So like any good sleuth (or insane person) I grabbed my flashlight and went to investigate. After looking around a while I thought I might had scared it away, that's when I heard it again. I spun around I found nothing. Just a few trees. I looked up and searched the limbs and found the culprit. A large owl was sitting on one of the higher limbs. It blinked at me for a moment then flew away, disappearing into the night. I admit I was a little spooked. I had no idea we had owls near our house. Now that I know I can try to sleep more... without the midnight strolls.
Good night Mystery fans
