Alabama - The McCalla Hum. “50 States of Freaky!” Vol. 1

It’s time to introduce ANOTHER new series which I’m calling “50 States of Freaky!” No, it’s not a play on “50 Shades of Grey”, but now that I look at it, it kind of looks like it is…shit. Oh well! Anyway, what is this series about? Simple, I found this page on TruTV.com that lists all the states in the US in alphabetical order and tells of the states most freaky phenomenon that has happened to date. So I’m going to be running through the list and discuss each states phenomenon and see if there’s any explanations for them! I hope that makes sense, if not, then just read the post and you’ll quickly catch on! Anyways, without further delay, let’s begin!

—————

Alabama! That state that looks almost exactly like Mississippi! Uh…is there anything else that stands out about it? OK, that was a joke. Today we’re going to talk about the states most freaky phenomenon, and that is the “McCalla Hum” of 2011. So on May 11th, 2011 in McCalla, Alabama many residents heard a strange noise that seemed to be coming from nowhere. The discriptions ranged form it sounding like “sirens in the distance” “locusts” and “whirring of a helicopter”. No one, not even authorities could find the source of the sounds. Witnesses also said that when you were getting closer to where you thought the sound was coming from, it would get quieter and when you’d walk away, it’d get louder again. Even though people couldn’t physically find what was making the sound, Samford University biology professor Larry Davenport says he know the answer to this mystery. He says that everyone was hearing the mating call of the 13 year Cicada. 2011 was the year they emerge from the ground to do…cicada…stuff. (I don’t know what cicadas do OK! All they do is make noise!) Larry says to expect them to come back in 2024 and to prepare for the noises to return once again.

Well, that was anti-climactic. But, this wraps up the first edition of “50 States of Freaky!” I hope you enjoyed it! I had a blast making it!
