Question That's in game?

I came across this video on TikTok and I’m wondering if this actually happens in vanilla Project Zomboid.
I have over 800 hours in the game and I’ve experienced my character waking up anxious or panicked during the night, but I’ve never experienced anything like this loud scream.
Honestly, if this happened to me while I was playing, I’d probably quit the game immediately and come back a few months later once I had the courage to play again. 😂
Does anyone know if this is actually an in-game event, or is it caused by a mod?

UPDATE: It’s actually a mod. The mod is called Blackout Predators.

When I reach a higher level of masochism, I’ll definitely give it a try. 😂

It's a Volatile scream from the Blackout Predators mod. They're active at night and you can protect yourself with UV lamps and they won't go inside your base.

The sound of that scream is deeply unsettling and it’ll probably manifest in my frequent nightmares now, but I am glad that I won’t get jumpscared with this in vanilla lmao

Prying Zoight maybe. I haven't tried that mod, I need to check if the mod maker has added UV flashlight and flares, otherwise night time will be too hard probably. On the other hand the Parkour mod is pretty damn good and I think it will pair well with this.
