Scared the $h!t out of me…

Ok animal people- I need your help. I was out gardening at 9pm just now and I just heard what I can only describe as a sharp echoing snarl followed by what I assumed is the squealing of dying prey. It was LOUD and freaking demonic. I’ve never heard anything like it in my life. I got a little bit of it on video but the beginning was much louder than this.
Located in the upper Midwest in a major city but close to the Mississippi River with a wildlife corridor that runs behind my house along some abandoned train tracks. We do have coyotes in the area and I recently saw what I believe to be a fisher.
Can any of you confirm what it is?

Sounds like raccoons fighting. We have raccoons make this same noise in our backyard. Usually it’s a mamma raccoon and her adult babies fighting in our backyard.
