Deep groaning/creaking

I figured out today that the reason I wasn't getting anything when I turned the key was because it was in between park and reverse so I moved it up into park and tried to start it and I'll I got was a deep groaning/creaking sound. WHAT DOES IT MEAN???

Spooks?

What's it do when you try to start it in neutral?

Try adjusting the cable at the trans end, so the shifter goes completely into park.

I had my uncle come out and look at it and he said the starter might be seized so I'm going to get one and put it on and see what it does
