Account
Two people hiking out from a fishing trip at a lake felt the ground shake as if large animals were running nearby but saw nothing. They then heard a strange high-pitched bird-like sound from the treeline below them that stopped when they tried to locate it. When they resumed hiking the sound returned and shifted into a bizarre growl-like noise, still with no visible source.
