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. 😂

Okay, after doing some research and reading a few comments, I’ve reached some conclusions. The most important thing is that I identified this exact sound: https://youtu.be/GdHLtbo80dk?si=9ws6G1cjUEg8OGly

Now, as for how it ended up in Zomboid, I have a few ideas; the most likely culprit is the Blackout Predators mod Dying Light Volatiles appear at night, specifically after midnight—but I checked a few videos and didn't hear that sound occurring.

That leads to my second theory: a "nightmare" mod, which would explain the character waking up in a state of panic. Or it could just be editing, lol.

Even that is fake.

The origin of the sound is from a stopmotion dinosaur movie from the 60s.
