The appearance of strange "man-eating" holes at the Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore has scientists scratching their heads in confusion. The entire Mount Baldy area has been closed off until further notice due to the dangerous holes in the sand. source: techtimes.com

There are also dry forms of quicksand, according to researchers. Experiments under controlled laboratory conditions have shown that manmade sand can suck an object under its surface, but this type of deep, dry quicksand has never been observed in nature, and it's not been established that Mount Baldy is an example of dry quicksand. source: sott.net
