freezing lake sounds
People from upstate new york have told me that every year their lake would emit weird sounds about the time of the first ice over. I was camped alone on Christmas at Lake Alpine in the Sierras when I thought I heard hooty owls, so I hooted back at them. Then really weird sounds like flying saucers taking off from out on the lake, then a major rip shot across the lake that sounded like a mountain lion running into camp and I screamed at the top of my lungs, then nothing... <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> and more weird noises. I had a dictation recorder with me to work on my camping book, but it couldn't pick up the sounds.
