Yes, I was woken up in the middle of the night by a loud scream.

There was a scream that started me out of my sleep. I checked my phone to see the time because I was going to call 911. It was around 2 a.m. There was a voice that was screaming words, the words I couldn't understand fully. Was it a male voice? A female voice.

Correct.

Correct.

I lay there awake for a minute because I couldn't go back to sleep. My husband had woken up, but he thought the noise came from outside, and he went back to sleep rather easily. I could hear the sounds of a TV, and then when I moved from the bedroom to my living room, there were sounds of someone walking across the apartment, and the sound of the washer and the garbage disposal.
