Woman Encounters a Mysterious Bird, but Realizes Its True Nature Far Too Late
Carmen was deep in the forest when she heard a peculiar sound. She had never heard anything like it before. Intrigued, she followed the noise until she was able to spot its source—an unusual bird perched in a tree.
However, she couldn’t make out what kind of bird it was. As she approached, something unexpected happened: the bird’s sound began piercing her ears.
Pain in her ears
Carmen wanted to get closer to the bird to see what it was, but the pain prevented her from doing so. It felt as though she was unwelcome there. But despite the discomfort, she decided to ignore the pain and continue getting closer. Then, the agony in her ears intensified to the point where it made her stagger. Carmen screamed in pain.
It was as if her ears were burning due to the high-pitched sounds emitted by the bird. Clearly, it did not want her approaching. Carmen was determined to understand what it was. However, after a while, the pain in her ears became unbearable.
She fainted
And that’s when everything turned black for Carmen. She realized it too late, as the pain became excruciating. She fainted. She was plunged into darkness, completely cut off from the world. What had just happened? Later, Carmen suddenly woke up, her eyes wide with shock, and she had a massive headache.
She no longer heard the noise, but the pain in her head was overwhelming. She wondered how long she had been unconscious. She realized she didn’t even have the strength to stand on her own two feet.
Should she seek help?
Tortured by the pain, she managed to crawl to a safe distance to regain her strength. She grabbed her camera to zoom in on the bird. Then she realized that it was actually injured. It was probably as a result of her fall or the piercing cry. She needed to find help… But where could she find it?
She marked the safe spot with the hairpin in her bag. This way, she would be able to locate it while staying protected. Carmen had to quickly find someone who could assist her.
A Sleepless Night
As Carmen had been unconscious for a long time, the afternoon had passed more quickly than she had hoped. It was growing darker, and Carmen’s vision was becoming less optimal. She didn’t feel safe anymore… So, the young woman decided to head home.
That night, Carmen couldn’t find sleep. She tossed and turned, but the encounter with the bird remained on her mind. It had raised several questions: how did her camera break? What was happening?
Visiting a friend
Before going back to search for the bird, she decided to seek the opinion of a friend. Carmen needed someone on her side and she needed to share her story. She went to her best friend’s place, wanting her company during her bird hunt. But it was going to be a real challenge.
She told Amy, the friend in question, what she had discovered and what had happened. Amy immediately paled. At first, she was too scared to join Carmen. However, Carmen managed to convince her. But first, Amy wanted to ask the locals some questions about the incident.
Asking the locals
Carmen and Amy went into town to speak with elderly people who had been living there for a long time. Carmen was convinced that someone must know something about this bird. When she asked an old lady the question, she looked at her in shock and walked away. What was happening? All the people the two women approached seemed too frightened to talk about the bird.
Amy struggled with her decision to join Carmen, who wanted to return to where the creature was. She managed to convince her friend to buy earplugs. This would reduce the noise produced by the bird. In theory, they wouldn’t end up unconscious. But that was only in theory…
Wrong direction
Carmen knew exactly where to go because she had memorized the bird’s location. Then she realized something: the two women had encountered very few wild animals since their arrival. Even if it wasn’t a direct encounter, there was always some background noise. But where they were, it was dead silent…
Amy said they were not allowed to be in that part of the forest, but Carmen informed her that she hadn’t seen any signs stating that. She tried to get a satellite view on her phone, but there was no network in such a remote area. If they ever needed help, they wouldn’t be able to get any.
Almost there
Finally, Carmen decided to take a break to double-check their position. She managed to get a weak GPS signal indicating that they were close to where she had seen the bird. It was a relief to see that they were heading in the right direction. After all, Carmen had never wondered what they would find once they reached their destination.
After catching sight of her target, Carmen approached cautiously. She took a few steps forward and suddenly stumbled, her foot caught in something. Amy rushed to help her free herself. When they stood up, the two comrades found themselves face to face with the bird.
Amy fled
Immediately, their ears were almost exploding with pain. Amy had never felt anything like it in her life. She almost passed out from the noise. She screamed at Carmen to move away, but her friend was determined to get closer. When she had the chance, Amy began crawling, then stood up and ran as fast as possible, leaving Carmen all alone behind her.
Once the noise subsided, Amy turned around. What she saw next left her speechless: Carmen had managed to insert her earplugs. However, they didn’t seem to be helping much…
Finding a Forest Ranger
Amy needed to find a forest ranger. She had noticed that they had passed their cabin a few minutes earlier. She rushed there immediately. She was out of breath when she arrived. She found a ranger on site and, in a hysterical manner, tried to tell him what had happened. But he didn’t believe her. The forest ranger, Mark, had no desire to help Amy.
He felt like she had made up her whole story. But the young woman kept insisting. Eventually, he gave in to get her to calm down. But Amy had a feeling that Mark was hiding something.
No Carmen
On the way, Mark remained strangely silent. Amy hadn’t told him where the bird and Carmen were, but he seemed to already know where to go. He walked straight, directly to the exact location. Had he been there before? Amy was surprised when they arrived: Carmen was no longer there. She couldn’t believe her eyes. Had she escaped to safety? Amy was completely lost.
That’s when Mark started acting strangely. He told the young woman that no one was there and that they needed to leave the forest. Amy realized that the bird was still in the tree. This time, it didn’t make a sound as she approached. Was it really a bird?
A strange feeling
Mark got angry when Amy got closer. He asked her to calm down and announced that he would help her find her friend. Amy had a weird feeling, but she agreed anyway. She found it odd that the forest ranger hadn’t called the police at this point. She decided to play along and follow him.
But that’s when she noticed something: a series of wires that seemed to surround the bird’s location in the tree. They reached about knee height and appeared to have been placed there to trip people. Feeling uneasy, she decided to follow the wires to see where they would lead her…
All around the bird
The wires seemed to go around the spot where the bird was in its tree. It was even more suspicious. Amy looked up and noticed another detail: a camera, methodically placed in a tree.
The young woman felt less and less safe. This wasn’t good. Not good at all. Mark also changed his attitude. He didn’t like the situation he was in. And everything took a turn for the worse after that.
Someone is approaching
When she confronted Mark, the ranger wasn’t intimidated. He acknowledged the presence of the camera. He added that there were more cameras in the forest and that it was nothing out of the ordinary. Then, Amy heard footsteps in the distance.
Her heart stopped for a moment. Who was approaching them? She felt uneasy, even with Mark with her. That’s when Amy decided to go back to the bird to see what was going to happen.
Barking Dogs
As soon as she approached the bird, Mark lunged at Amy. He tried to keep her away from the animal. Now she was certain she couldn’t trust the forest ranger. So she tried to get rid of him, kicking him several times before running off. She had to alert the police.
Then, Amy heard someone yelling at her to stop running. Of course, she didn’t listen to that order, and that’s when she heard dogs barking. Someone had unleashed dogs to chase after her. This person was getting dangerously close, and the barking was getting louder.
Tripping
Suddenly, Amy tripped over a branch. She hurt herself so badly that she couldn’t continue running. The young woman was terrified. She then saw two German Shepherds closing in on her. Why were these dogs chasing her? Several questions raced through her mind. It was a matter of life or death at this point.
The dogs looked very angry, and she was completely at their mercy, immobilized. She couldn’t move. But it also seemed like these dogs had no intention of harming her. They just kept her from moving. Then, suddenly, a whistle sounded to call them off, and a man approached. Who was this mysterious individual?
Mark and another man approach
Mark and another man were approaching Amy. Their faces were dripping with sweat from the chase. The stranger called off his dogs and introduced himself as Alex. He didn’t seem to have ill intentions, but his face was very serious. Amy was ordered to follow them and remain silent.
The young woman obeyed and followed the two men. Then she saw where they were heading: a military camp. Amy was puzzled. She also realized that Alex was wearing a uniform. He was in the army. What had she done? Was it connected to this strange bird? Amy decided to remain silent because she would soon get answers to her questions.
Carmen is in the camp
When she entered the military camp, she spotted Carmen. A nurse was taking care of her as she was severely injured. Amy was thrilled to reunite with her friend, and vice versa. But it was time to get some answers… So Alex explained to her what had happened.
Amy and Carmen had trespassed on a military property. They had ignored all the signs in the forest telling them to turn back. The “bird” they had seen was actually a new security system that neutralized the enemy using sounds.
Carmen and Amy are released
Amy understood what they had done. She didn’t know it was a military property. She immediately apologized to Alex. He was a bit annoyed as their security system could have been compromised. The two women received a warning, but that’s not all.
Their injuries also served as a reminder, and they were required to sign a contract prohibiting them from disclosing this incident to others. They now understood their mistake. But the two friends still told the soldiers to better secure their property. They ended up installing more signs.
