Something Wicked This Way Comes

Last night, I was sitting in bed watching TV. It was around 12:30am, no one else was awake, the cat nowhere in sight, the dog sleeping in the back yard under the big blue spruce. Something right outside my partially opened window screamed. It wasn't a human sound, but instead, this eerie, loud screech, like nails on glass. It scared the hell out of me. You know, that feeling when your entire body goes numb? Funny enough, I looked for the closest object that could be used as a weapon. My free standing lamp would do, so I felt a bit safer. Things went quiet for about a half hour, and the sound came again. I got up, shut my window, and went to bed.

My first thought was it was probably something like this:

But more than likely it was something like this:

Or this:

Not that bats are much better...I HATE bats...
