Account

While hiding in a ditch during a paint ball game with a young child, the witness claims both heard strange groaning sounds from toward nearby apartments. The child became frightened and they went inside, then the witness brought family and other children into the yard where the group reportedly heard the groans again. The witness later compared the sound to Mississippi groans recordings.
