Jon and I were catapulted from bed last night by a hideous hissing-growling-grunting-snoring noise, which after a panicked search of the premises was discovered to be coming from somewhere on the roof near the front door. By the time I went out, armed only with a dressing gown and a torch, the perpetrator had vanished. A little Googling turned up this description:

Look, have you ever heard an Australian possum? They sound evil! They look cute, granted, but possums sound like pissed-off-cynical-resurrected-satanic-spirits.

... confirming my initial diagnosis.

Yeah. Possums screech and hiss like nothing else. It sounds unworldly if you don't know what the sound is.
