Hell Is That Noise/Myth, Legend and Folklore


 * The Ur Example may very well come from Classical Mythology. The god Pan loved to scare the shit out of lonely travelers by hiding nearby and letting out a bloodcurdling scream. Ever wonder where we get the word "panic?" Now you know.
 * Pan was also pretty much the Glenn Quagmire of ancient Greece, except with the body of a goat from the waist down. So his cry didn't just sound horrible, it also warned people that they were going to get raped if they didn't run like hell.
