The other day I was out in a wilderness area at the Wilson's Creek National Battlefield in Southern MO with a prof. from Arkansas State and his assistant, a grad student named Jason, and this Jason claimed that, while we were coming back from the truck, getting shovels or what have you, he heard something coming from the woods that sounded like "the owl from Clash of the Titans."
Now call me uncultured, but I've never seen Clash of the Titans all the way through so I don't exactly know what that's supposed to mean. I just know he seemed kind of freaked-out and he acted like he had heard something very unnatural. A cursory Google search makes me thing the Owl in question was an automaton.
Now, I've heard a lot of things in the forests around here, but I'm not neccesarily suggesting the presence of a bona fide cryptid or rogue automaton. The interior of Wilson's Creek is seldom travelled and teeming with wildlife, so it's conceivable there are animals there a person like Jason might not be familiar with.
I guess what I'd like to know is, what exactly is this owl noise supposed to sound like, and do any regular-type owls come close to making the same sound?
