It was ECB reading a children's book about Mommy's plastic surgery. Oh, wait, that was last week.

I wonder why the curious reader didn't call the cops?

Well it's about time you posted something. 1130 here in Orlando, and it's been a very productive day already.

What @2 said - how could you not call 911 after hearing something like that? Jesus.

Didn't hear a thing.

Did he say he DIDN'T call 911?

Anyway, who is blaring KUOW -- KUOW! -- at any time of day let alone midnight. I think the whole e-mail is a hoax.

There's someone who lives in the Bonneville, across from Half Price Books, who screams out her window at all hours of the day - which can be heard when it's open-window season. I made a recording of it once and posted it to YouTube:

We call her the Dolphin Lady.

Well, he says he was AWOKEN around midnight, then goes on to say that he could hear the loud screaming over blaring KUOW. How was he sleeping with that much noise? I thought it was a hoax, too.

@ 9, first, if you're going to ding readers for making assumptions, where did he say he is a "he?"

Second, yes, if you read what s/he said, there's no mention of a 911 call. So no, s/he did not call 911. S/he wouldn't be emailing the Stranger if he did.

@3, 6 & 12 can't wait to read about your florida adventures ALL DAY.

We live at Summit and Thomas and heard a loud bunch of people coming down the street talking, laughing and yelling/screaming around that time. The loudest and most screamingest was a female voice. They stood on the corner at our intersection and made a ton of noise for about five to ten minutes and then they were gone. Could be related. I made my husband check it out, and he said it didn't look like anything unusual was going on. Just inconsiderate people.

@9 - My thoughts exactly. This person was sleeping to blaring talk radio? I think the screaming was in their head.

In other words: No, we don't know what was going on.

When you live in the city screams are pretty common (especially when bars get out). But 15 minutes? Even I would have called 9-11 (or got out of bed and put on my Bat Man suit).

I too heard the screaming from my apartment. I stuck my head out the window, but it looked like the screamer was a girl screaming at another girl. I called out "hey!" and the screamer yelled at me: "Mind your own fucking business!"

So there.

Jesus, this person hear some woman screaming for her life and now "wonders what that was"? What a fucking hero! I live on the 3rd floor, but in an alley, and about a dozen times in two years I've gone downstairs to either; a) prevent an assault, b) tell someone to shut the fuck up. I'm not a tough guy in the least, but if you here gunshots, stay away from the window - if you here screams, GO CHECK!!!

So, say the inquisitor finds out, yeah, someone was murdered outside your window last night. What then? "Should have called the cops?"

It was ECB channeling Hillary reacting to her devastating loss to Obama tomorrow night.
