What ‘Roared’ at Green Hill?

The following encounter came from Pictou, Nova Scotia:

“So what happened was, I’ll give you a little back story. It was back in 2003. I would have been 15 or 16 at the time. It was in late fall. We were training for a high-school cross country team. So the guys that were with me, their names were Liam. Greg and Jeremy. And my father, Stephen, was the coach. What we would do was twice or three times a week, we’d go out and maybe go for long runs for cross country training. So, after school, my dad drove us to Green Hill Provincial Park. It’s kind of a woody area. There’s not really much around. A few farms. We were gonna do some hill sprints up there. If anyone’s familiar with the area, there’s a spot where we’d stop for spring water.

So we would... we stopped in there and got some spring water, did some warm ups, ran up and down the wooded side of the hill. Then we went to the south side of the hill and ran up to the top. It’s a little over a kilometer run. It’s really, really, steep. Where this happened was on the east side of the hill. On the top of the hill of the Provincial Park, it has a really nice look out. They say you used to be able to see most of the county from there when it was a fire tower.

So we were up there. We’d just finished our run and this will be important later, I was the fastest. And then it was Liam, then Jeremy, then Greg. Not that he was slow, just that he was slower than us. That will come into play later. So we got up to the top of the hill. We had about a half an hour to kill. So my dad basically said, just go do something in the park. There’s not much to do. There some old picnic tables and a pond.

So we decided we wanted to go to the east side of the hill which is very, very, steep. It is particularly wooded. If you look at it on Google maps, it’s small trees. Very steep. It leads down towards the area where the spring was. So we’re not totally unfamiliar with it but we hadn’t gone from the top all the way to the bottom on that side of the hill before so we thought that would be a good idea. We told dad, “We’re gonna head up the hill.” He said; “Okay you only got about 35 minutes. So, you know, it’s pretty… it’s gonna take a little bit of time to get down there.” So we were like, Oh, we'll be fine.

We were pretty winded from doing these hill sprints. A little tired. So we head down the hill. There’s a bunch of 15 year old boys, being guys in the woods. But so steep at some points that we actually had to almost fall from tree to tree to get down the hill which was really treacherous on its own.
