What animal makes a very loud scraping sound?I like to hike in the woods at night and I don't follow a trail and I have never seen another person before so I think it was an animalChatgpt says it could have been a deer scratching it's antlers but watching a video it doesn't sound like what I heard at all, it sounded more like metal being dragged across concreteIt was loud AF and repeat a few times before it stopped tooI didn't see anything because i keep my phone in my pocket in case I get hurt and just use my night vision to get around but that only lets me see so farI've been doing this for over a year but I've never heard anything like that beforeI'm in Europe BTW

>>2851290The most terrifying possibility is you walked into a mother bear's territority. They often mark trees and the scraping is much louder than deer. I wouldn't walk out there until summer.
>>2851290GeeseSeriouslyThere's some people near my neighborhood that keep geese in their yard and they sound exactly like a rusty gate swinging around
>>2851316>>2851319It sounded almost exactly like this https://youtu.be/wbYOWJARZPM?si=n3CCzHyvfFUzftY8Also I've never seen a bear (I do have a spray just in case) and geese definitely don't sound like that

>>2851290metallic scraping noises are often associated with paranormal phenomena
>>2851290Picrel, obviously...There's no other explanation.>I'm in Europe BTWAh, yes, the great country of Yurop.It's not like there are different species across the continent.
>>2851290I often hear noises like that too, due to my location there is 0% chance of bear. I usually suspect it's a rat or badger, or something. It can get kinda annoying and keep me awake
>>2851352My guess is that you heard a red stag roar.
