So Scary last night!!

Janet · 11-08-2007, 07:23 AM

When my son got home from work last night around 9:30 PM he wanted his dad to check his car. He was afraid something was going bad on it (lights kept dimming.)

There were either coyotes, dogs or coydogs on the run because we could hear them all around.

First they'd be off to the right of a field or woods and then over to the left. Sounded like there were a lot, like at least 15 or 20, but being soooo dark we could not see, just hear. It sounded horrible and it was really scary.

It sounds like maybe your son's alternator might need to be checked. I know that it will make your lights go dim.

Coyotes can sound awful when there's just a few but I bet with that many it was pretty spooky. They make the worst noise. We can hear them at night when we go to bed.

Also, if it's a fairly new car, when the computer boards go bad it can screw up the electrical system, blow fuses and generally make you think it's everything else.

Do you have close neighbors, Janet? Sounds like those coyotes must make you feel isolated and hemmed in. Is it safe to go out if they are in groups like that? I imagine you have to keep watch on your pets.

Janet, is Rick's car sorted out, and fixed now?

So glad we dont get coyotes, or any other scary animals here.

Thanks all, yes his car is back to normal. There is a switch that somehow started coming loose. His dad of course knew what to do. He was sooo afraid he'd have to ride the bus....LOL Once they get their license, they never want to ride a school bus again.

It can be pretty scary with all the dog, coyotes, coydogs running. In the spring when we go mushroom hunting they will run from you and stay hidden. One time my husband heard some crying, stopped and off to his left were some puppies..then he heard a growl and off to the right was the mama coyote. He just kept on walking and the coyote left him alone.

I don't think, but don't know for sure, that they won't attack a human at night. I always keep a close watch and within grabbing distance of the dogs.

Ive read before that they take dogs? Is that true?
