What Are these Sounds Heard Around the World? – The Gasp Menagerie

default-featured-image

I’ve looked into this one before, but the Daily Mail has done a wonderful job of compiling some of the evidence I’ve seen before and adding some newer reports.

What’s happening is simple: For years now, people around the world have heard and even recorded very strange noises coming from thin air. The sounds aren’t always identical, but they’re similar, and given the broad dispersal of occurrences across the planet, that makes it a suitable entry in the Gasp Menagerie.

The first time I ran across this story was a YouTube video of the Ukraine incident recorded from an apartment building. I didn’t introduce it here simply because, on its own, it might be odd, but it’s hardly strong evidence of something truly weird.

The compilation video from the Daily Mail story does a good job putting all the evidence in one place. When presented that way, it paints a much better picture of the phenomenon.

Considering these videos were posted over several years by people in many countries, it’s clear this is not viral marketing and is unlikely to be hoaxery.

So we’re left with the simple question: What the hell is it? We’ve seen previous extremely loud sounds, such as the sub-Pacific “bloop,” but this isn’t a single occurrence. Is it geophysical? Meteorological? Alien? Secret government technology? Paranormal?


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.
