And suddenly there was a soft, distant, but quickly approaching and became very loud sound, which turned into screams of different tonality. These were devilish, completely unearthly screams that not a single human throat could produce. Screams that left a ringing in the ears. because of their deafening, they walked from the side of the watering hole.
The sheep shearing workers feared that the screams would burst their ear drums, but they were too scared to run. Gradually the screams diminished until they turned into strange, drawn-out moans. A few moments later, everything fell silent and there was a deathly silence."
This story was published in 1947 in the Australian newspaper The Sydney Morning Herald and described how two sheep shearers camped at night on the banks of the small watering hole Vilga, in central-western Queensland. It happened in the 1890s.
After the eerie screams died down, the shearers quickly gathered their belongings and gave the shreds from this place. However, this was not the first and far from the last time when people heard terrible screams at the Vilga watering hole, unlike anything else. And it was not even close to the frightening cries of the famous kookabara bird - in Australia, kookabara screams surprise no one.
The story of the two shearers was recorded by journalist Bill Beatty. According to his commentary, when other people heard the story, they often greeted it with ridicule, however, many noted that the Vilga watering hole is indeed a very strange place and that the Australian aborigines have always avoided it.
Moreover, the cows also diligently avoided this watering place, and when the drivers brought them here, they often refused to drink water from it. And they refused even when they were brought from afar and on the way the cows suffered from thirst.
"I do not believe in ghosts, but I also heard these screams and I will never stop at night at the Vilga watering hole," said one local resident. then the cows will no longer become afraid, they had a lot of experience in life. And everything was fine until about 9 o'clock in the evening. And then they suddenly began to worry and quickly huddled in a tight circle. By morning we were already three miles from this terrible place, but our horses trembled finely for a long time and could not come to their senses, even when we drove 5 miles from the watering hole."
The story of the hut
Beatty's article was not the first in the newspaper to write about this frightening place. Six years earlier, the Sunday Mail had published an even more chilling story from an author named Beachcomber.
According to this story, one man built himself a hut right on the bank of the Vilga watering hole, not far from Rutven station. And then he settled here with his wife. She was a very restrained woman with no signs of hysteria and accustomed to living in remote, remote places. And at first everything was fine with her and her husband, they slept peacefully at night and did not hear anything frightening.
And then one day her husband came home from work at the station and saw his wife, who was in a state of severe shock. She was not even able to tell right away what had happened, and then she said that she had not seen anything, but Heard the most terrible screams that she had heard in her life. They walked from the side of the watering hole and began as suddenly and abruptly as they broke off.
Neither she nor her husband had previously heard anything about the bad place at the Vilga watering hole, as they came here from another area. Therefore, at first her husband decided that his wife was simply frightened by the usual calls of nocturnal birds (the same kookabara or owl calls).
He somehow reassured his wife, and soon left on business for two whole days. When he returned, he saw his wife in a state close to insanity. She had bouts of severe hysterics and in between crying she somehow told her husband that she again heard terrible screams from the watering hole.
Only after that did her husband believe that something really strange was happening and the couple immediately left the hut. Subsequently, no one dared to settle in this hut, even those who had nowhere to live.
Ghosts
After more and more stories of creepy screams at the Vilga waterhole appeared in the press, people began to study what could be the reason for this. Some were still convinced that it was the cry of an owl or other birds. But others have suggested that people heard the screams of dying people who died in this place in the past.
In particular, on March 16, 1941, a letter from a Queensland resident was published in the Sunday Mail newspaper with a story about the ghost of a child emitting terrible screams. Many years ago, a boy from a poor family was sent to take a herd of horses to the nearest watering hole, which turned out to be the Vilga reservoir. The boy did not come back, and when people went to look for him, they found only a few freshly gnawed remains of the child on the shore of the reservoir.
Presumably, the child was torn to pieces and eaten by wild pigs, and it is quite possible to imagine how scared he was and how much pain he experienced, which is why he could scream so terribly.
And in 1945, the newspaper "World News" published an article that the ghost of Vilga was probably an old tramp who once went mad, and then got drunk on some aboriginal drink and cut his own throat.
Another story is connected with a man named Wilfred, who lived in a hut on the bank of a watering hole in the middle of the 19th century and grazed his flock of sheep there. One night a group of Aboriginal people came here and they started trying to steal a sheep from Wilfred's flock.
The man noticed this and began to shout at the natives to get away, but this only made them angry. At some point, they attacked Wilfred and killed him, and threw his body into a watering hole. Only three days later, other local residents found him and pulled him out of the water. And shortly thereafter, white drovers raided an Aboriginal village near the watering hole, and in revenge killed all the men, women and children. Only one man with one child managed to escape.
Nowadays, many researchers have tried to find out what is happening at the Vilga watering hole, but they were unlucky, they did not hear any terrible screams there.
