Today, I was awakened, in the middle of the night, by the sound of crying coming from outside. There's a mile in between houses where I live. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I saw my upstairs neighbor outside getting the mail. She asked how my day was, and then apologized that the sound of her baby's crying through the walls kept me up last night. Apparently she heard me when I yelled at 2am for her fucking demon spawn to shut up. FML
Today, there was a knock on my apartment door. It was the man from next-door, who sarcastically asked if I was alright, because he said he heard me screaming in agony. I was singing. FML
Today, I was trying to fall asleep. Unfortunately, my next-door neighbor's baby began to cry. I closed the window and rolled over, unable to hear the crying anymore. My dog's hearing is better than mine, and so he started barking. Goodbye, good night's sleep. FML
Today, I was woken at 4 a.m. by the sounds of someone crashing down the stairs. I scrambled out, still half-asleep, to find out that nobody was in an agonized heap at the bottom. The walls are so thin in my house that I could hear the neighbour falling down HIS stairs. FML
Today, at 2:30am, I heard my baby crying on the monitor. As I got out of bed, she stopped crying and started laughing. There's nobody else in the house. FML
Today, I found out that the peaceful rain I'd been listening to all night was really a broken water-main flooding my entire yard. FML
Today, I was woken up at 6am to the sound of my mother on the back deck of the house hooting like an owl. FML
Today, I was awoken by my neighbor pounding on my back door at 3 am, only to look outside and see my car engulfed in flames. FML
Today, I was over at my boyfriend's house and I heard a strange sound. I laughed and said, "It sounds like a dog throwing up!" He listened for a second and said, "That's my mom crying downstairs." FML
Today, I heard a scream that sounded suspiciously like my cat when he's just had a nightmare or is otherwise in a state of extreme distress. I found him chilling on my couch, so I walked back to my room, when I heard the scream again. I ran back and he was still chilling. It was my neighbor's son screaming outside. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

It was likely just some animals having sex. When they're mating, a lot of animals - foxes especially - can sound rather horrifyingly like a human in distress.

I agree with #1. how is it a fml? so what you where woken in the middle of your sleep by some strange crying in your property in the middle of the night. if anything I'd say the OP got scared because of this. SCARDY CAT! be a man and grow a pair.

@31 yes I was going to say that!
MQ_was_here 0
Okay how the hell is this not creepy? Maybe because of my culture it's literally in my blood to be scared of spirits and whatnot but this would have scared me pretty bad. But then again like someone pointed put, it could have been an animal in heat. Or you could have a whole set of entities living outside your house. =/

Btw, Ed Gein, the dude who was the inspiration behind "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" used to live in this crazy-small town in WI and the houses were miles apart. Now of course his neigbors had no idea he kept carcass's and skinned-up furniture in there. I'd be scared. Very, very scared.

^This. Most people who hear a crying child/injured animal (or anything like someone needing help) will come out to help the poor thing. It's not that hard to get a recording and stick it at the door step. It's just plain creepy if there are no houses nearby. EDIT: this was supposed to be a reply to #31 :/

Technically, it's a target until they actually get murdered. Not a victim.

That's how a serial killer killed woman. The lady thought there was a baby outside, but it was actually a recording, when the lady would go outside the killer would strike.

Sounds like a good horror novel. But you should of gone to investigate.
