📝 Description
My wife and I were on a sunset walk through the Founders Grove in the Redwoods everything got really quiet and then something chattered. Stood quiet a second gave a simple �whoop� and something vocalized again. Spent a lot of time in the woods and I�ve never felt that just almost immediate dread. Whatever it was was huge. Always have found the stories entertaining, but my goodness there is nothing more terrifying than being in the woods just past sunset and hearing that. We HIGHTAILED it back the car.
