You wake up suddenly in the middle of the night. What would be the scariest sound to hear after waking up? (50s)

When I was camping once I was awakened by this incredibly loud, guttural grunting. Really spine chilling noise. The only thing I could put it down to was Kangaroos mating.

@cherokeepatti That would be scary. Does one get out of bed to check for intruders or does one pull the blankets over the head?😰

@Gusman One gets paralyzed with fear listening to any other noises. It happened one time and I laid there listening before I got up. Went to check all the windows and none broken, finally found what broke, had hung up a small framed picture on the bathroom wall and it fell and crashed on the tile floor.
