What animal sounds like a crying baby?

Could be (& most likely is) a fox; possibly a Fisher Cat; most likely NOT “Ermine” (aka Weasel in winter clothing) will only make a sound when it’s being murdered.

I’m now and this question has been bothering me for over a decade. I used to live in . One night when I was 18 or so, I went out with my brother and a few friends in the desert. We were by a area called locally “the pit”. It’s about a story and half deep spanning more then a few football fields. While hanging out around the top in an area less traveled we heard the cries of baby, bone chillingly loud, seemingly a lure to get us to go in that direction. After some deliberation with my comrades, I ran in the direction of the noise, only to find nothing. But as I walked back the sound persisted. For whatever reason I waited until today to google the incident which lead me here. Whatever animal made the sound did so on some kind of purpose, because it never broke tune, no animal noise at all for over an hour. Anyways this link shows some semblance of what I heard.

p.s. about 1:09 on the vid with no animal in it

p.s.s sounded like someone left a baby on the ground in the desert, good god so eerie

p.s.s.s.s.s.s. maybe it was a mocking bird idk lol the name kinda points in that direction

It’s a fox.

FOXES I HAVE THEM TOO AND MY DOG KEEPS BARKING AT THEM AND MY CAT JUST STARES

It could also be a toad/frog. Many make sounds that sound like wailing kittens or babies… it can be very disconcerting.

I had a screech owl around for a while. I swore there was a cat being brutally tortured every night. Worst sound ever.

fisher cats also make screaming baby sounds.

Sounds like a Dogman! No joke! Check out Dogman Radio with Vic Cundiff if you want to hear a lot of first hand encounters with these things. I’ve heard of a couple of cases where they make the sound if a crying infant, loud and histaricle! One case I heard was someone remembering camping with grandma and they heard that sound, like a baby crying and grandma knew what it was because she turned ghost white and immediately built up the fire and moved the truck in close, piled the kids in and waited in the truck with a shot gun. Sure enough a big dogman came up to the camp fire sniffing around and grandma fired the shotgun at it and luckily it ran away! I say luckily because there have been many cases where shooting at it either barely fases it or just pisses it off! Lock your doors at night and sleep away from windows. They are known to look in windows and enter homes! If you have doubts about Dogman, please check out a bunch of Dogman Radio episodes. The people talking about their first hand encounters sound very legit and very disturbed! I find myself terrified and fascinated all at once and now I just want to learn as much as I can about them so that I can better understand them and how to react if I should ever see one.
