A woman and her friends were camping in the Appalachian Mountains in West Virginia when they heard terrifying screams that were similar to those of the Nazgul from the LOTR movies.
This account was forwarded to me:
"This happened back in February 2023 and I just want to know what I heard. My boyfriend and I and a couple of friends decided to try winter camping and threw together a quick camping trip. We got to the park late and ended up camping two miles into the park directly on the trail. Everyone else fell asleep quickly and I stayed up. I'm already wary of the woods and I didn't love that nobody put their food up. This is in the Appalachian Mountains (West Virginia) and I wasn't crazy about waking up to a black bear looking for food.
At approximately midnight, I heard what sounded EXACTLY like the Nazgul screams from the Lord of the Rings movies. It sounded like one scream and then others joined in until it was one very loud scream from many voices then died off. It made the hair on the back of my neck stand up and I immediately woke up my boyfriend and begged him to stay up with me all night.
He thinks I heard coyotes, but I have never in my life heard coyotes make that sound and also he didn't hear the screaming. We weren't near any towns, it sounded like it was on the top of the mountains where it's all woods and we were camped at the base. The only thing I can think of is 'sirens' but I've never heard sirens like that and I don't see why there would be multiple, and it sounded too animal-like. It also wasn't an elk, we don't have them in our area, and even if we did it didn't sound like the elk audio recordings I listened to. If you haven't seen Lord of the Rings here's a link to the screams. I'm open to natural explanations. I just don't know of any naturally occurring phenomena that make those screeches." W
NOTE: If that's the sound she actually heard then, yeah, I have no explanation as to what that was. Possibly a Bobcat? Lon
