When I was young there were peacocks in the nearby orange grove. Sounded at night like a person screaming “help!” Took quite awhile to accept that it wasn’t a person in distress.
Any owl that parks itself on the branch outside my bedroom window and starts hooting at 2 am gets me wide awake real quick.
I think loons make a hauntingly beautiful, and yes, eerie sound. We camp sometimes near Saranac Lake in the Adirondacks and at night their calls are kind of chilling, yet peaceful.
I have seen brown bears in Alaska, from closer than desirable, but fortunately, I haven't heard these sounds... which translates roughly as "You're beginning to p--- me off!!!"
