Seneca Guns

So recently my husband went hiking in North Carolina. They were in the woods when they heard a large boom and the ground vibrated and the woods went silent. Apparently, this is very common on the East Coast and is called a Seneca Gun.

Well, these sounds have never been explained. And they are apparently very creepy.

Looks like they're now here in LA.

Not only that, but they have been heard this week around the country in alarming frequency.
