A former park ranger shares a chilling encounter from his time working at Big Ben National Park in Texas. The ranger, who has had his fair share of strange and unexplained experiences during his career, recounts a particularly haunting incident involving a mysterious sound that he and his partner heard on multiple occasions.
The first time they heard the sound, it was a mix of a woman's scream and weeping, lasting only a few seconds. They didn't see anything out of the ordinary, but the next day, they discovered that one of their cameras had malfunctioned and recorded the strange sound, but didn't capture any visuals.
Two weeks later, the ranger heard the same sound while patrolling alone. He describes the feeling of fear that gripped him and the chill that ran down his spine. Despite his initial desire to flee, he knew he had to call for backup.
A few weeks after that, the ranger and his partner saw a dark figure moving in the distance, with its mouth wide open, as if it was screaming. They watched as it quickly moved towards the underbrush, describing its movement as gliding rather than running.
The ranger is unsure of what exactly he and his partner saw, but after doing some research, he believes it may have been a ghoul, a creature similar to crawlers or rakes, known for their wide open mouths and white color.
This encounter has left a lasting impression on the ranger and he wants to share his story to honor his experience and to educate others on the unexplained phenomena that can occur in national parks.
