YELLOWSTONE WHISPERS
"I'm just a ghost in this house
I'm shadow upon these walls,
As quietly as a mouse
I haunt these halls."
- Allison Krauss, Ghost in This House
A strange phenomenon takes place in the high country above Yellowstone Lake in Wyoming's Yellowstone National Park. Travelers in the area hear a disturbing whining noise that is said to last up to thirty seconds. The Yellowstone Whispers are heard most often between the hours of dawn and ten a.m., usually when few people are around. There's nothing new about this occurence-early trappers in the region knew of it, and Native Americans regarded the Whispers as a sacred occurence.
