Answer 2

It might be a morning dove. I say this because it makes the exact sounds you describe in the morning where I live in Colorado, and It was so disturbing I had to find out so asked every neighbor and they all told me the same thing. The funny thing though, is that at night they make totally different noises!!!!

Answer 3

Many birds can make ghostly sounds...owls for one.....The African Grey parrot can carry on full conversations if trained to do so. The one you heard; who knows....try bird watching with a field guide to ID the bird in question....

Answer 4

Probably an owl, but a loon also makes a very eerie sound.

Answer 5

Einstein

Answer 6

I'm sure I can identify the bird as soon as I hear a ghost.

Answer 7

I think Robyn hit it. I think you are talking about an Owl. Their sounds are used in horror movies for background.

Answer 8

It's got to be a Mourning Dove. If not could it be a whippoorwill? Or a nighthawk? It might be a nighthawk.

That wasn't me. Thumbs-down troll somewhere.

Answer 9

Not sure what a ghost sounds like.
