What Is America's Spookiest Sound?

What sounds spookier: The theme to the movie Halloween, or Vincent Price’s laugh? An antique toy or a slow knock at the door? Funny or Die is staging an online tournament to determine what you least want to hear alone in the dark. You can listen to each sound effect and make your selections. The tournament is down to the final day of voting in the quarterfinals, with the final four round voting tomorrow. Yeah, it’s a silly idea, but silly can be fun -or frightening, in this case.

It's actually not fake. I couldn't find it on snopes, but I found it elsewhere:

The tree is actually NOT eating the bicycle. It is simply growing around it.

If this is real, it was obviously set up a long, long time ago, and never touched since. Dubious, but not impossible.

Not a hoax, I've got a news clipping from the Oregonian (November 15, 1993) about the bike, with a pic of a man grasping the front wheel of the bike. The man, who lived in Vashon at the time, theorized that the bike had been there some 40 or 50 years.

I've been there - it is real, and very cool to boot. This isn't a hoax, staged or anything of the sort - just an example of what Nature will do if need be.
