I want to thank Eric who is a listener of the show for sending this to me. Very interesting!
“Bloomington, IN in January or February 2009. My friend and I were returning to her home after having dinner. I stepped out of the car and immediately noticed a moaning sound coming from behind her home. Whatever it was moaned about every 10-20 seconds and it was getting louder (and I assumed closer). It sounded similar to a cow mooing but without the leading grunt, just the “ooo” sound, though longer and louder. The calls were mournful in tone. I went out on the back porch to see if there were cows or other livestock in the area. None were present, just soybean fields. There was a stand of trees to my right, along with several houses. The stand angled to match the angles of the properties and ended at the farm fields, creating a triangle shape. As the moaning moved closer, the dogs at each house would bark ferociously then retreat and hide. It was extremely strange.
The moaning sound reached the end of the trees and stopped. I asked my friend what was that and she said “The Troll.” Apparently, this creature was known to the locals. She said it lived out past the farm fields and would come close to the homes on occasion. Just then, I saw a grayish blur run from the stand of trees to behind a hill directly in front of us. The stand of trees was about 300 feet away to the northwest and the hill was about 200 feet away to the west. The blur ran low to the ground, arms parallel to the ground but pumping. That was all I could see – the legs were below a berm and the head was either tucked down or also parallel to the ground. I felt like it was time to go inside immediately. My friend related that occasionally this “troll” would look in the windows.
I did not want to see it so I did not look back outside. After about 15 minutes, I could hear a commotion outside. When I looked out, the lawn furniture about 150 feet from the back door had been thrown all over the place. It looked like someone had a massive temper tantrum. Nothing had been thrown a superhuman distance but neither had someone just tipped everything over. My friend advised me to not go out there as it wasn’t safe. I stayed about another hour, heard nor saw anything else and went home.”
