Possible vocalization and footprint found near Bachelors Grove Cemetery

7 September 2011 Afternoon, at 3:15 pm Midlothian, Cook County, Illinois 2 witnesses

Account

The witness and a companion visited Bachelor's Grove in the afternoon to check structures described in a prior report. They observed hand-made tree pyramids, an X, and an arch, heard a siren-like sound and faint mumbling voices, and saw no unknown animals. After the companion left, the witness found a large old footprint with visible toes and additional faint impressions forming a long-stride trackway.
