A US Army veteran recalls a mission in Afghanistan. He and his team where in the Helmand Province mountains when they heard a 'human baby crying' sounds.
I received the following account:
"Sir. The following is my description of my encounter with what I believe to be a cryptid predator. This story is 100% true and not a work of fiction. I have no idea what I encountered, but I believe it was some animal currently unknown to science.
This occurred in 2012 while I was in the US Army in Helmand Province, southern Afghanistan, in the late summer, around 5 months into our tour. A mission we were supposed to deploy on was changed the day before due to an operational incident. So I find the odds of a security leak very unlikely.
We were dropped of at the far end of a mountain range and had to hike our way up while it was dark and wait up the top. It took us around 2 hours to reach the top of the mountains if I recall correctly. The mission was to wait on top overnight and sleep for several hours and before sunrise head down into the green zone deep into enemy territory in order to gain the element of surprise and in order to assault Taliban positions. This was a very rural area and off the track. It would have been a difficult place for a civilian to reach.
At some point during the night, I have no idea what time, but it was dark, my friend who was next to me nudged me awake and was looking in front of him at a cave entrance not far in front of us. Perhaps 30 feet in front. I listened closely in order to hear what was going on and noticed that I could hear the sound of what appeared to be a human baby crying. This confused me given the location. But several moments later a terrifying thing happened.
I noticed that the sound that I was hearing of the baby crying was on a loop, like maybe a 10 second loop. Repeating over and over again. Suddenly a rush of terror came over me and I immediately thought of some strange animal impersonating a vulnerable human, much like the way cats and birds can mimic human sounds. It repeated for maybe 5 to 10 minutes before stopping. Then nothing but eerie silence. No movement no voices. Nothing.
To this day I have no idea what it could have been. I really doubt it was the enemy forces as the odds of them knowing we would be there given the last minute change is unlikely. Plus it would have been much easier to just attack us. I genuinely believe this was some unknown creature attempting to lure us down into the cave. I have no idea for what purpose, but I doubt that it was anything friendly." S
