I had let the dog out to relieve himself around 1am, when he went over towards the woods he stopped half way and just stared into the woods, naturally I called to him to come in, then I heard this thing that sounded like a dieing crow, The “fisher” call almost give me a heart attack lol.

Has anyone heard a fisher attack and recorded it. We had something attack an animal in the pond at the cottage a couple weeks ago, and this thing had a viscious growl (one of THE scariest sounds i have ever heard) and i don,t scare easy it was like it clamped on and then growled as it applyed more force repeatedly as its prey just wimpered.
I would know that growl if i heard it again. please send me a recording if you have thx Brian. I’m afraid for my pets!!!

I have lived in dense wooded areas of CT my whole life and have had many many fox around over the years but NEVER heard them make a screech like the fisher cat. This year, we have a fisher cat close by… on our walkway, and next to the shed, on the porch, places where fox prefer to avoid. No mistake here…the cats stay in at night and the screeching, and my golden, lets us know when this critter gets too close!! Very creepy.

That sounds like a fox. I could apply your description — “demonic” scream – to the fox in our neighborhood which I have heard, and seen with my own eyes.

I have heard both fox and fisher cat. This sounds like a fox. The fisher cat is exactly as others have described it. It sounds like a baby screaming while being tortured (not that I have heard a baby being tortured). I was sitting near the Delaware River around my campfire and heard the most horrible scream behind me. There is no mistaking that sound once you hear it.

Twice I have heard red foxes make an unearthly loud screeching sound, repeated over and over as they ran off. I know they were foxes because I saw them.

My family and some friends of ours camped for a week last summer on a piece of property close to the Boy Scout camp in RI. The first night we were all settling down in our tents for the night we heard this horrible noise that I could only describe a “Demonic.” Immediately, I had this sick feeling in my stomache, as I listened to the eerie screams. I knew it was a fisher cat, and at that moment I thought of the fact that the only thing separating this thing from us was a thin piece of nylon. LOL!! We did, however, have no physical encounter with the animal.

I live in Danbury , CT in a wooded area. Last summer, I kept hearing strange noises at night from my yard that sounded like a distress call. It was like nothing I had ever heard before, and I’m a nature nut, but I thought it might be a fox or raccoon. After seeing a black animal that I swear was fisher in my driveway two nights ago–my outdoor sensor light would come on, yet I could never see what triggered it– I listened to the above recording because people at work thought I was completely bonkers when I said that I had seen a fisher in my yard. It is the exact same sound I heard last summer. Ironically, a few days earlier, I had watched Marty Stouffer’s Wild America episode where he finds and adopts orphaned baby fishers.
