Near Antigonish in Nova Scotia is a forest called Dagger Woods...the sign is right on the main highway. The story goes that a young lady was killed there a few centuries ago and you can hear her screams. First far away and then it slowly gets closer and louder till it's piercing loud. Nothing bad happens but super freaky!
