A strange event occurred in the Kisachi National Forest (Louisiana, USA), which left more questions than answers. On the evening of June 28, when the sun had already disappeared below the horizon, a group of high school graduates encountered something inexplicable.

According to them, they met a creature growling and glaring in the dark, about five feet tall. The report of the strange sight quickly attracted the attention of the police, who arrived at the scene to investigate the incident. However, despite a thorough inspection of the camp and the surrounding area, no traces of the mystical creature were found.

The Natchitoches County Sheriff's Office's Facebook post provoked a strong public reaction. Users began to put forward various theories, from assumptions about meeting a bear to ideas about a well-planned joke. But what did the graduates actually see that night?

Could it be just a trick of light and shadow, distorted by imagination and fear? Or are the forests of Louisiana hiding something more that we don't understand yet? Perhaps the answers to these questions will remain a mystery, but this evening will remain in the memory of those who were there for a long time and will excite the minds of the curious for a long time.

Original news

A group of Houma high school graduates had quite the scare in the Natchitoches Parish woods, but deputies made sure they made it out safely, reports The Town Talk.

A group of graduates had traveled to the Kisatchie National Forest to camp about a mile-and-a-half off the Backbone Trail in the southern part of the parish near the communities of Derry and Gorum. They intended to camp out in the area, according to a Facebook post from the Natchitoches Parish Sheriff’s Office.

But one of the group, all 17 to 18 years old, called 911 call around 9:20 p.m. Friday. The caller was frightened, reads the news release.

The caller asked for help “because they reportedly heard a growl and saw what appeared to be an animal that had glowing eyes and stood about 5 feet tall.”

Two deputies were sent to the area “and began to walk towards the camp site looking for any suspicious activity or glowing eyes,” it reads.

But, as the post stated, it could have been Bigfoot or a bear, so they escorted the whole group out of the forest. Deputies found nothing growling and no glowing eyes, it reads.

Famous creatures

There are a huge number of different living organisms on our planet. According to recent estimates, the number of species of organisms on our planet is approximately 7-10 million. However, only 15% of the data are described today.

According to the calculations of Canadians, 2.2 million species live in the world's oceans, 6.5 million on land. There are only about 7.8 million species of animals on the planet, 611 thousand fungi, and 300 thousand plants.

Illusions associated with the refraction and reflection of light

Reflection is a physical process of interaction of waves or particles with the surface, changing the direction of the wave front at the boundary of two media with different properties, in which the wave front returns into the medium from which it came. The reflection may be specular (that is, such as is observed when using a mirror) or diffuse (in this case, the reflection is not saved the path of the rays from the object, but only the energy component of the luminous flux) depending on the nature of the surface.

The lights of cranes, pipes and skyscrapers

Most often, this category can be attributed to the lights of a crane, high-rise buildings, boiler pipes, etc., equipped with nighttime lighting that is visible through the haze, fog, or when the color match between the support and the color of the surrounding space.

For unexplained may be taken accidentally or deliberately issued when shooting photos and video. A feature of the lights of a construction crane (in contrast to the street lights) is the movement of the boom, which is a light source.
