Could be anything. Mine is kind of long.

One of mine is when I was out in the forest hunting with my cousin. We were about 14 miles into the middle of nowhere, second day into the hike. We were setting up camp in the middle of the night when we heard a woman screaming. (Yes, I realize mountain lions spukd like women screaming sometimes, but not full, clear sentences). “HELP”… “PLEASE HELP ME”… “AAAHH”… Blood-curdling cries for help. Out in the dark, terrifying woods.

We were both law enforcement at the time, so of course we go to see what’s happening and if we could help. We followed the direction of the sound, but it kept getting further away. We’d call out “stop moving” or “stay where you are”… the woman kept repeating the same thing over and over. After walking into the thick timber for about 10 minutes, dropping glow sticks to show the way back, we heard her voice very close. It was coming from an abandoned mine shaft…

I did NOT want to go anywhere near that thing, but my cousin persisted. We got to the opening of the mine and flipped on our rifle lights; and I swear to God we saw a set of pale, white eyes draw further back into the darkness. It was silent. No more cries for help. No noises whatsoever. I hit my Garmin emergency locator to call a life flight - which showed up about 2 hours later. Search and rescue went down the tunnel and said it was a dead end. No signs of life, blood, clothing, etc.

We told them everything we experienced and one of the guys on the flight crew said “You’re not the first one to report stuff like this here”.
