Mysterious Shrieking Frightens Town in The Gasp Menagerie
Forest Grove, OR is a quiet town. Well, it was, until an unearthly screeching noise started appearing randomly in one neighborhood.
KATU reports that the noise just appeared one night around the first of the year.
Frightened residents reported it as sounding like a large vehicle needing brakes badly, or even a leak in a high-pressure air or gas line. One local even recorded the noise and posted it on social media. Check it out below.

Authorities are clueless, and nobody can trace the source of the sound. It happens randomly, for different lengths, and even a sound expert hired by KATU couldn’t assist in identifying it.
Answers are slim and lost sleep is making tensions rise.
Strange noises, also known as skyquakes, have been happening with increasing frequency around the world, and have been included here in the Menagerie. This doesn’t resemble those trumpeting rumbles, however, which are far deeper in tone.
What’s screeching out in the streets of Forest Grove? Natural gas fissure in the rock below the town? The ghostly squealing of a train stopping on the abandoned railway nearby from days long past? Satan having his balls ripped off in a megaphone factory? (Thank you, Dana Gould.)
Until we have an answer, the noise and the anxious residents will join The Gasp Menagerie.

Have a weird story? Potential evidence of the supernatural, or at least something hard to explain? Spot any creepy critters out there roaming the wilds? LET ME KNOW! I’d love to talk about it and possibly write it up right here in the Gasp Menagerie. You’ll get appropriate credit, of course, and everyone else will get fresh creepy (as opposed to fresh Creepy, which, trust me… nobody wants that) to enjoy. As always, I can be found at mrdark@dreadcentral.com. Now get out there, find some weird, and let’s get this party started.
