Folks there don’t like to talk about it — the clamor they hear at night in their well-groomed homes on Thunderbird and Britannia lakes — because they’re afraid. “Some people don’t hear it, but I think many are too embarrassed to talk about it,” said Barb Peet, who lives on Britannia Lake and was more than happy to talk about the mystery. “It sounds like a symphony.” But, residents reckon, if they talk about the eerie sounds to outsiders or even among themselves, then people might think they’re off their trolley. So folks quietly go about wondering if the nocturnal din, a beating sound some described as a series of low-pitched bellows, could be coming from the lake — actually two lakes that were built in the form of shamrocks (hence the Eight Lakes moniker) and are just a short boat ride to the Caloosahatchee River through a few canals — or from a creaky sewage pump station nearby or from something supernatural.

When Bill Thompson, who also lives on Britannia Lake, first heard the noise, he thought it was bull frogs in his attic. “We checked but didn’t hear anything,” he said. “But you could hear it in the house. My neighbor told me it was the result of incoming and outgoing tides. I thought bull frogs would be a better answer.” A few neighbors whispered that the culprits could be fish or maybe alligators who are mating this time of year. But gators don’t like saltwater much and how could a fish make that much noise? So the residents just aren’t sure.

OMG! It couldnt be....FISH??

Where exactly are these lakes and are the natural or human-made?

Hmmm I know when I go camping, late at night the frogs by the lake make these awesome noises that sound like musical instruments. There'll be some that sound exactly like guitar strings, and others that sound just like a drum beating! It's quite amazing and when there are piles of them all making their noises it's like there's a little band playing nearby!

So perhaps the noises they are hearing is something similar. Just some strange noises made by the lake critters at night?

Kinda reminds me of War of the worlds, the musical version. (not in the airy fairy prancing about type just songs)

Remember when they landed on the common of the green thing and those freaky noises that eminated (sp) from it ?

Anyway, You know how there is a belief about pyramids that focus energy. Perhaps a four leaf clover shape has the same kind of properties which is where the luck factor may orginate from ?

You never know, when we ballon up a symetrical shape like a clover into lake size proportions and then fill it with water, you just never know
