NYC… imagine hearing THIS outside your window at night. 😳🦉

Neighbors on the Upper West Side have heard eerie screeches near Central Park for weeks — and the culprit appears to be a barn owl.

Fun fact: barn owls don’t really hoot. They SCREAM.

Have you ever heard one in real life? What did you think it was? 👀👇
