Wayward Society: The Giant's Screams

## Aberration: The Giant's Screams by Meatoad1

**Description:** The Giant’s Screams are low noises heard by residents of Cave City, Kentucky. The noises are described as low cries heard from the Mammoth Caves National Park. I’ve only heard the noises once and they are not pleasant to hear. They sound like, almost as if some one from in the caves is lost or even dying. The screams almost made me want to visit the caves to see what was wrong. Most people who have heard them have also stated that the noises have given them an urge to sneak into the caves during the night and investigate it in the caves. The source of the sounds have been traced back to a certain structure of rocks named “The Giant’s Coffin” and I tried to find out how it makes such a noise. I have yet to find out but I believe it may be spirits of people who previously died in the caves since right behind the Giant’s Coffin is “The Fatman’s Misery” which leads to the most dangerous part of the caves.

Following the arrival of the noises have been many disappearances possibly linked to the nature of the noises. Camera footage has shown people wandering like zombies into these caves alone. It is unknown what about the sounds drive people to visit the caves. It may be the mysterious nature of them, or it may the fact that it sounds like someone is in need of help.

**Background:** The Giant’s screams go as far back as 1919 when people thought the noises were monsters and it became a major selling point for tours in the caves. When the noises arrive they stay for around 10 years and then come back 20 years later. Not many people in the area know of the noises since the noises can only be heard by certain people and since the population of Cave City has drastically decreased since the 50s. The noises were thought to be an animal before since the caves can echo an animal sounds but the strange nature of it has made the people of the city, who can hear it, decide that they may be supernatural.

**Location and Population:** The population is unknown but it is located in Mammoth Caves, Kentucky.

**Hunting or Procurement Methods:** What I think may be the only way to get rid of the noises is to have some other people with you if you are in Cave City. *Most* of the people who have gone missing in the caves have been alone and without a light.If you the sounds bring you there try at all cost to leave, and if you must go into the caves, bring a light and people who are experienced with the caves in with you.

**Encounter Records:** The oldest known occurrences of The Giants Screams happened in 1919-1929 when most people believed it may have been Demons or Monsters. It is unknown how many disappearances happened during these times, but 30 years later in 1949-1959 the noises were heard by the residents again. People feared it may have been bombings but when people heard where the noise was coming from many people started investigating it. It is believed that around 103 people went missing with no bodies ever turning up. Then after another thirty years in 1979-1989 they returned again and most residents ignored the noises, but some people did wander into the caves. 94 people went missing also no bodies found. The most recent return of the noises was in 2009-2019, 118 people went missing. Everyone thought it they have been murder until camera footage showed many people wandering into the caves. The most confusing thing is how a whole tour group went missing almost immediately after entering the caves.

**Additional Notes:** May be a metaph since no remains of people who have wandered into the caves have been found and since recently a whole group of tourists have disappeared.
