Terrifying Sounds in the Forests of the Great Smoky Mountains

Part Roar - part Scream - this is perhaps the best recording of these mythical creatures! Hear cracking branches and these Incredible noises nearby in the dense woods alone and you will never forget it! Do you freeze or walk faster? Rarely ever seen in the thick steep trackless mountain woods they are both immense and largely invisible in heavy cover. These extremely detailed and close recordings are of a once-extinct giant creature that again roams the mountain forests of North Carolina captured over several days in late September 2018. Some people now want to kill these magnificent creatures all over again.....Why?

If you watch the entire video you'll catch a glimpse of one of the creature's friends - not the one roaring. Recent research has found the process that makes these fascinating sounds is rather unusual.

[@princessncg1]

I knew it was a moose mating call, but I did not know we had them here in our NC mountains Fascinating

[@tedreiss807]

Rocky Mountain Elk are being transplanted in eastern states where they were once plentiful. Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation has been active in the program across many states including Pennsylvania, Kentucky, etc. Those are two bull elk calling to each other. You can also hear cow elk talking back. It's also common to hear the bull chuckle behind the scream to call his cows to him. Pretty cool to hear it's happening in eastern states. Hunting elk, and other large native animals of north america, is part of a larger conservation and management strategy. Each year hunters, anglers and shooting sports pour millions of dollars into wildlife conservation across America, more than all other Americans combined. Read up on the Pittman Robertson act and others like it.

[@robtyman4281]

No deer makes any kind of noise like that. A loud 'metallic' kind of noise and a really eerie high pitch. No, this is something else. I think it's a Sasquatch. A Bear would not make noises like this, and nor would a Wolf or a Coyote. It's terrifying tbh.

Having lived in the Rockies and done a lot of hiking and camping that sound is very familiar and quite beautiful. I love to hear it! It's of course a bull elk calling its cows. We had one of those bulls storm our camp one night while high in the Uinta Mts of Utah, bellowing and stomping. Pretty exciting! No one was hurt fortunately.

[@wrestlingfan4ever76]

That's what I thought it was. An elf. I have been hiking in the High Uintas and the Appalachians and I don't think I have ever heard elk. But I did have a bad run in with a group of Sasquatch in the Pennsylvania wilderness and one almost killed me when a grapefruit sized rock whizzed past my face.

As a rock climber who didn't put nearly as much time into thinking about the encounters in nature I'd have, the first time I heard a bull elk call I was in the middle of a rock face and I thought this was it.

I was gonna say elk too, but I have only ever heard them on t.v. I didn't want the believers to come after me...

[@mediaistheenemy]

There are no elk naturally in that mountains of NC/SC/VA. That's why it would be creepy because while they were reintroduced it is not common.

[@kiltedandbearded6895]

Elk were reintroduced to the area by RMEF in conjunction with the state department of wildlife resources. I was part of the committee pushing to expand elk herds into these areas. Even if it isn't a live elk but an elk call the face remains that that sound is without a doubt elk.

[@loserface5000]

What are the noises at 1:22 ?? If you put in earphones, you can hear it better. But it sounds like a person screaming as though he’s being mauled to death? Maybe I’m trippin but that gave me chills

You sir are NOT trippin!!! I heard it too. I had to turn it up and push my headphones to my ear to really hear and make sure. It's somebody screaming in pain!!!

[@dougmurray7684]

Yes, an elk. You've seen plenty of nature shows where elk in Canada or in the US Rockies will make this sound. Well, WNC has elk too. Not many but I've seen one. It was a yearling, at least the person with me said it was. But it was huge. Far bigger than a full size deer. The one I saw didn't make any sound like this but that' the sound they do make.

Wait so there’s an elk east of the Mississippi? That would be absolutely fantastic to have elk or moose make a comeback over here.... I live in Mississippi and most of the native Black bear and Panthers have died off but there have been conservation efforts to restore their numbers.. Hopefully in my lifetime I will be able to see old native species like bear and panthers here and not bat an eye...

[@CarapaceClavicle]

Nick Cruton yeah there are a few populations east of the Mississippi. Surprisingly I had an elk encounter in the woods of Kentucky of all places.

[@CarapaceClavicle]

Nick Cruton I also have spoken with a few people who have seen mountain lions in the east after they were declared extinct. One of the people who saw one was backpacking in the Shenandoah’s. He saw it run behind a rock ledge while taking a breather. When he finished his hike he informed a park ranger who said, “yeah, they’re still around here”.

It was 25 miles north of Baltimore City in Baltimore county on Mt Carmel road. . I actually called it in and it was captured. It should have not been there as their is no mountains nearby. it was also kept on the hush-hush cuz I looked and did not see anything on the news afterward. They tried to tell me that someone had it as a pet but I knew they were telling lies. From Maryland to Pennsylvania and even more north and west they try to say that they don't exist on the East coast but I know people that have seen them including myself a few times. There is a nice population of them in Northwest Pennsylvania in the Allegheny mountains

[@svenable567]

I live near Kingsport, TN (north of smokey mountains). I just moved 6 miles away and the terrain difference is obvious. The former home was in an area where NO level spaces existed. My home was built on a steep area and the roads were treacherous in winter. Also, every form of wildlife was in that area (except elk) and could be seen almost daily. It's so odd that only a short distance away can make a difference in wildlife. I do live near a lake and state park now and have no clue if that makes a difference. We do see bobcats and herds of deer here that roam thru the planned community. The deer herds are 25+ strong and stop to eat many of our bushes. I LOVE Blowing Rock and Boone NC and visit often. It's a fairly short drive for me.
