Thanks for watching!
I love all the freaky noises but remember that anything that wants to eat you won't be announcing its presence.
Unless they don’t know you’re there. But you’re definitely right, good way to look at it. Now I’m even more scared in the woods hunting lol
Mountain Lions. They chirp like birds. And they'll Fuck you up.
That's why if you're in the jungle, and you hear a tiger snarling, it's not hunting you. It may still kill you, but probably just wants you to leave.
As someone who has slept outside extensively in the Pacific Northwest, I can confirm....
It's not when you hear all the animals...
it's when they suddenly all go silent is when something is about to happen.
But never forget the most dangerous animal walks on two legs.
I can tell you that a mountain lion can purr, meow, howl and roar. And might walk right up to you in the night.
Ah, that's how they get you. They don't do what you expect. They lull you into a sense of security and then they pounce...
If you've ever heard a female mountain lion or bobcat in heat it is truly terrifying. It literally sounds like a human woman screaming in pain.
Yeah I've heard both cats before! 😂😂
Definitely my cat's favourite episode so far🐈⬛
My dog, too! The call of the wild😂😂
My 2 cats slept right through it 🤣🤣🐱
I needed a dose of aesthetics today, thanks Alfie
In Alberta, I always have a hard time sleeping with all the noise while camping. Once the coyotes and birds settle down, all the little critters are scurrying around the campsite trying to get into everything.
That reminds of a time when a friend and I were camping, and we heard all these squeaks, and then the smell of skunk. It turns out the skunk got into our styrofoam cooler and must have sprayed it when it squeaked at him. lol We told the park ranger the next morning and he said we were lucky because there was a pull behind type camper not too far from us who were cooking bacon when they got home from the bar, and a bear just about broke in! I was glad we just had to replace our food, and not our vehicle.
I’ve lived remotely in the U.K. countryside for nearly 70 years, I know most of those sounds, but not who made them! Thank you, don’t stop doing what you do, we never stop learning. Never met an aggressive muntjac, they are so secretive. Antlers are a noise of the rut that is very ‘un-animal’
I love how I can spend all night trying to find the exact sound I'm hearing in the woods... and i never ever can. Even worse now thanks to google search's efficacy turning to dust.
I live in the nature since 10 years. 10 years that I'm listening to those beautiful yet (slightly) scary screams of nocturnal animals. But it is only now that I can add a picture to the sounds. Thank you so much for all your videos. They always are a very useful source of informations, made with a particularly refined style !
My two favorites night sounds are the Great Horned owl and the Screech owl.
Nothing else quite puts me into the proper state of mind that I'm in the woods at night and loving it.
Lot of work went into this one Alfie! love your work friend.
GOOD LORD, HE’S STILL WITH US
Hallelujah!

Thank-you, cleared a few things up for me, mainly the female Tawney owl verses the male always thought they were the same bird , but dident know the difference between male and female, love the snipe sound, first time I heard its electronic sound on moors where I lived , beautiful sound puzzled me at first but I could just about see that it was some sort of bird, it was dusk, summer time, heard a fox in forest early hours sounded like a prehistoric bird cross between a loud woman scream, hence my visit to your fantastic channel 😊
Brilliant film, informative and hilarious in equal measure. Well done Alfie top notch.
Alfie's show in BBC would convince me to start watching TV (and paying for the licence). Imagine him rising to prominence of Sir Attenborough.
you hooked me at "Cannibal Hill Billies,' I grew up in a rural area of NA so not many of these sounds were new to me but still a great video.
2:52 heard this once, thought it was a woman at first, then I thought maybe an owl? Then I randomly searched what foxes sound like and found the exact same call.
One of my favorites! Who needs Hollywood horror movie sound fx tracks, the "Wilhelm Scream", or stories ending with the discovery of a hook hanging off a door handle when you can just take your kids camping without mentioning the whole "vixen thing" ... 😄
Thanks
I love listening to "true scary stories in the woods" and it's 90% people describing common harmless critter calls.
Lots of solo camping in the dense woods of Western Washington State. One night, I heard a loud scream down lake about a mile or so. Then, right above my tent, another scream. So loud I thought it was just above me. When I got home I researched the animal sounds of the PNW and discovered it was a couple of barn owls. Good grief, that thing was loud! They should have used it to make Jurassic Park.
I had a owl spook me while up in my stand early hunting deer, like damn fly so silent but the screech is thunting
I live in the United States and we also have foxes, barn owls., badgers, bears and wolves. We also have our own woodcock species that makes a sound similar to the first sound of the one shown here. Our native deer species, the whitetail, just emits grunts and snorts. Females make bleating sounds and the fawns sound somewhat like a baby or toddler yelling, so sometimes people will ask Google about the sound they heard at night in a rural area. One of the strangest nighttime sounds (and one you’ve probably heard too since they also live in Europe, though that species is different) is the blood-curdling tortured screams of rabbits as they’re being chased, carried off and eaten by either a fox or an owl, in which case you’re likely to hear the calls of those animals followed by silence, and then a sudden distressed rabbit call. There are other sounds (bobcat, puma, coyote, raccoon, skunk, etc) that are frightening to those unfamiliar with the sounds those animals make.
Our whitetails also make that "barking" sound, but it's usually heard more in rut season.
Where the heck do you live? I gotta admit myself that the craziest thing I've seen was a black panther in north Carolina & a mountain lion....there's some weird sounds in the woods at night out there
And loons! Some of their calls are *freaky.* Especially at dusk.
@@brigidtheirish Loons don't bother me, but the most obnoxious sounding bird is the whippoorwill. They keep me up at night because they're so loud, and you'll never find where they are to chase them away. Hank Williams had it wrong when he sang "Hear that lonesome whippoorwill, he sounds too blue to fly" They don't sound blue, they sound like they're on crack. lol
@@rubyfisch5077 lol Loons don't "bother" me in that way, they're just startling and a little creepy.
Your videos always bring peace and enjoyment.
Living in the cold silent candian winter i feel blessed anytime i hear animal noises. This video is great and useful. Thanks.
The legend is BACK!!! As the years ticked by, I patiently kept waiting... Until one day, he emerges!
I'll just bet that's what his mother says
A very good assortment of nightly animal and bird sounds. Excellent. But I think you left off the best one, Sika deer. Now that’s scary at 2am right outside your tent.
Good to have you back dude, was thinking about your vids during covid a lot
Great video! It always kills me when I watch a video of guys hearing strange sounds in the woods and think it's got to be bigfoot. They say they've been camping, hunting etc. for years and have never heard anything like that.(The same with the breaking of branches...oooh bigfoot!) But I've lived in the country over 60 years, with deer herds in the hundreds, and of course we spend time outside at night, and I've still never heard a lot of the strange noises that deer make. I was a little freaked out one night though when it sounded like babies were being tortured behind the barn, but it was just baby foxes in their den.
Bless you, Alfie, for gracing us with new videos!
6:32 🥳🥳🥳🥳
14:56 this is the alfie we always knew, those hard hitting one liners delivered with the straightest voice
i loved your channel as a kid so i was delighted to come back and see you're still posting ^-^ time to catch up on what i've missed!!
I started watching you when I was 12, I’m 18 now and you’re finally posting again!
Excellent content and entertaining! I had to share this with my grandkids! Thanks!
Glad you're uploading again 👍 snd thanks ,Those sounds I heard after a case of PBR , were probably deer ,not a Sasquatch😂😂
glad to see ya again mate!
Amazingly informative video as always, Alfie.
Thanks Alfie glad to see you creating again...
I grew up in and live in New England. More than half the state is still wilderness, so I'm familiar with a lot of these sounds, but was still an enthralling video. Also LOL. "I wanna play a game"
Good to see you posting again dude, you were one of the first bushcraft channels I started watching.
This is an underappreciated AlfieAesthetics gem of a video.
The deer whine is absolutely adorable 🥺
thank you Alfie, we have missed you! you’re delivering awesome content as always
A true treat for a Sunday evening. thank you.
Great video,
Most informative
colection of nature,
Sounds and Souls
You have made my night good sir. That was beautifully put. Well done.
Top quality useful video. Many thanks.
Omg! Squirrel sound very similar to our Australian brush tail possum!
Although I'm pretty sure possums are louder 🤣♥️
I love this so much, thankyou for posting another video!!
Your videos got me into this and you need to do more, as I’m camping at the moment, as I watch this 🤣🤣🤣
Most interesting.
Thank you 🙏
Never leave us again Alfie, our Messiah.
Great video Alfie :) Thanks :)
Hiked a section of the Appalachian trail in North Carolina back in 2017. Made camp, settled down for the night, all was well…until 9pm when the strangest sound I’d ever heard started. Flicked through my mental Rolodex and came up blank…didn’t sleep a wink, fully expecting a skinwalker to come over and eat me like the human taco I was (hammock camped).
Wasn’t until a few years later I first heard an elk on tv…brought all the terror I’d felt that night back to me in an instant 😂
Edit: I originally stated this happened in Kentucky for some reason. Not sure why, may have just been the brain fog that comes with having a toddler in the house!
There's elk out there?.....I know there was a black panther on my property in north Carolina....
Alone?
@@chaboi7
Oh wow a black panther! I live in Michigan and I've only ever seen the tawny colored panthers 😁
@meganleffingwell3437 hey that's weird, I'm actually from grand rapids, mi.....i went to live in NC just because I've always loved the mountains, I lived there for 4 years and yes it is true that there are black panther and elk out there, there's even giant boars.....anyways, here in michigan I've had a cougar in my backyard out there in the Canadian lakes & even a bobcat jumping from tree to tree......even in the cedar springs area I've seen bobcats, black foxes and black coyotes......its alot more wild then ppl think.....with all my experience I've come to find out that many ppl in michigan and NC don't know just how good these animals are at hiding themselves.....
@@chaboi7
We have A LOT of coyotes and bobcats around here (between Cadillac and Reed City) but the only strange coyote I saw was near Manistee national forest and it had human eyes, the coloring was the normal gray and white splotches and everything, the weird thing about it was its eyes 😂
2024 is the best UA-cam year ever! ❤
Love this.
Also, hate that TV shows use the same fox sound for all night scenes. Also using the wrong bird call when trying to represent a buzzard.
Awesome love your content and you just keep getting better
You forgot the sounds of me living 7 days purely on freeze dried food, trying to get the clog out at 4am in the middle of the forest
Skill issue.... 😂
@@RealBradMiller laziness *😎
It would probably too explicit for you tube after 7 days no?
Outstanding video! I wish I was getting notifications for your channel!
AHHHH-MAZING!!! This video was GREAT and super informative. Thank you.
Brilliant video and, my god, those are some weird and disturbing sounds! To be honest though, I think that complete silence would be more unnerving!
I've been familiar with fox sounds for decades (or so I thought) and never more so than where I live in London, being used to the sound of foxes taking over the street every night. It's taken a few years of getting used to but, I can now sleep through their nightly performance of screams and barks.
I've never heard them laughing though but, many years ago, leaving a party in the middle of nowhere with an extremely stubborn and very, very drunk partner, I could not convince him that he was walking off in the wrong direction to where we needed to go. Reluctantly, I went after him as he stumbled down a pitch black country lane because I was worried that he might end up lost, or in a ditch, or whatever. Fortunately, we hadn't gone far when the night air was filled with the sound of a loud, mocking cackle. To me, it sounded like we had probably just woken up a crow or something but, to my partner, it was the satanic laughter of some unseen witch. Unsurprisingly, he immediately suggested that we should turn around and go in the direction that I had originally suggested!
For years, I was convinced that it was a bird and recognising the sound from the clip that you played at the start of your video, I was eager to find out. Whether it was a bird, a fox or, even a witch that we heard that night, I could not have felt more grateful. I was not looking forward to trudging miles, heading for god knows where, till sun up, and then, having to trudge all the way back to go the right way home!😂
For everyone, 2 more sounds to panic about at night:
1)Wind scraping grass/leaves onto your tent - I swear, at times, when the wind picked up, the scraping on my tent wall sounded like a rabbit or a guy sneaking around me (I hadn't figured it was the grass right away😅).
2)Flippin' HUNTERS - They were looking for the fore-mentioned rabbits, they got pretty close too, figured I'd get shot through the tent ☠ (Why would they hunt at 1:15 in the morning??).
Nice, explains why I was young I always thought there was a hagge seems it's a fox, could save me alot of worries.
A proud fan sends their regards. Thank you for giving us the knowledge to seize the forest! We welcome you with open arms, Alfie.
love this guys work !
Informative vid Alfie 👍
Gorgeous photos. Thanks Alfie 😁
Thanks for the video. I have to live in the United States. Some of the wildlife makes similar sounds here. Especially the red foxes.
These are some really interesting nocturnal animal sounds. I think the cry of a Barn owl is perhaps the spookiest of all those owl calls
My goodness, this is most majestic alfie dropping the content we need!
4:30 We all know that the real recording goes "Alan!Alan!Alan!"
I may be stupid, so could you explain that a little more?
@@catcraft2374Nah, you ain't stupid, you just have to be British (and of a certain age) to get the joke.
It's from an old BBC programme trailer where some wildlife clips were overdubbed with human voices. I can't actually remember whether it was a squirrel or a gopher/marmot, but he's calling out his friend's name and sounding a bit exasperated. If I can find the trailer on UA-cam, I'll come back and post a link here.
@@RonGardener4142 Thx for clearing that up
@@catcraft2374 Can you see my replies?
@@RonGardener4142 At one point for US kids those BBC videos roamed around on old youtube a lot (back when youtube wasn't much of a place to make money, but rather for ppl to post their unhinged videos and memes on).. and the Alan!Alan!Alan! one was rlly popular among US kids at the time. The peekaboo "niiiiight time, daytime!" bird was also popularly running around on youtube. Any 1995-1998 kid probably saw the video running around on youtube or kids showing it during middle school or early highschool. I remember laughing at BBC videos for straight hours as a kid haha. So for a small number of adults in US, they'll fondly remember this meme as well. Insta liked your video when I saw "Alan!Alan!Alan!" comment haha. Good times.
Wow. Very useful video. Good job for the video and the idea about it.
You did really good on the sounds. So good in fact that you set my dog off. Thanks lol.
Im glad to see u posting again missed your videos
Great video, thanks!
Magnificent! Just what my lazy sun-baked Saturday morning required. Thank you, sincerely!
Good god, this is the best year ever. Back to back to back to back Aesthetic videos
Majestic footage! Most glorious sounds!
Great to see you back uploading geezer.
Another class video. Really enjoyed it.
Your videos always make my day and I really look forward to them!
We had mountain lions screaming like women in our woods. Really unnerving the first time you hear it.
Always nice to see you're still around!
Though I've not made it through the whole video yet, I'm curious to know what an Alfie call might sound like? :P
Informational
What a fantastic idea for a video! I hope I never hear most of these magical sounds when Im out camping. If I do, I really hope I remember what I learned today. I definetely will not though and will draw the most horrifying conclusions..
So glad ur back
I don't know why, but 1:02 makes me laugh everytime...
Thanks for getting to the bottom of all these sounds in 'creepy' videos!
Welcome back Alfie! Thank you for the very useful video, elk and fox vocalizations are terrifying at night if you don't know this!

Don't forget the 'Ooch, fuckin guylines...' 😂
🤣🤣
That male tawny owl sound is so iconic
What a great job you did mate.
Thank you👍
If I heard the cackling fox at minute12:00 during the night I’d probably just pack up and find a hotel
Thanks for the video, very helpful!
Many thanks for a great video
I love this man, never stop.
You’ve got some weird-a** wild animals over the pond, there!
Fantastic collection! Thanks a lot.
Night Jar (little bastard) kept us awake most of the night as we had no idea what the hell it was!! 😂😂
This was a very unique video! 🤍🤍🤍
No wonder so many people think certain woods are haunted.
Yo your back great stuff 👍
The woodcock beep is the most adorable thing
I finally know what those noises are. I must have tawny owls living nearby!!!
im so glad hes back
The fox sounds terrifying 😳
Sounds like we've been blessed!!!
Had to wait till morning to watch this, my farm dog was going mental 🤣
