Silence of the Rabbits
Up at 4am again due to coughing. Though sometime around 4:30 my father and I heard the most eerie screeching sound from outside. Most likely a wild rabbit being attacked by a hawk or fox. It lasted a good 10 seconds, and sounded like it moved a good 100 feet from where it originated before it stopped.
I went out this morning just as daylight hit to see if I could see anything, but didn’t. I don’t know exactly where the sound was coming from anyway.
I think one of the worst sounds to hear is a rabbit screaming. When we kill rabbits a few times a year, we’re careful to make it as painless as possible, not only for the rabbit but to also avoid making them scream. It’s a disturbing sound, almost like you instantly feel like you’re going to hell.

Never heard the sound myself, but I have heard of it. I hope you start to feel better soon.
