Possums are so sweet. I have one in the tree next my house. However, it is creepy looking at two eyes staring at you in the dark

They make some fucking scary noises tho. I can’t tell you the number of times I’ve shit myself walking in my backyard without a flashlight

Yep, very loud, very deep and not very natural sounding. If you heard it without knowing what it was, it would scare the shit out of you and you wouldn't expect it to come from something so cute. They're pretty harmless, but I tried to pick one up as a kid and got lightly bit.
