Unidentified sound near Collins, Mississippi (2000)

Over seven years hunting the same lease, the witness repeatedly heard loud crashing like a vehicle moving through woods that stopped at cover, rhythmic knocking like hammering heard day and night, careful footsteps around his blind with nothing visible, and children's voices playing in a creek bed that vanished when he investigated. He initially rationalized the sounds as deer, neighbors, or real children.
