📝 Description
November 15-19. Witness: James Scott. HUNTING. Heard: During the night (whole trip) -Heard what appeared to be loud squirrel barks and trees being knocked down during the middle of the night. -Something running around the tent. (Thought it was coyotes chasing three wild kittens that were hanging around the campground.)-Something was moving the items around in the back of Scott�s pick-up truck. -Tree Knocks in the night coming from three different locations around the lake (first just one knock bouncing back and forth then two knocks).-On the third night I was growled at while placing the park camping fee registration in the box.-Constant sounds of something dropping heavy objects in the lake.During the night and while hunting-Heard constant �what appeared to be owl hoots� coming from different locations around the lake. These hoot sounds followed us where ever we hunted.-On the morning we were packing up our camp site an old man stopped his truck next to our site and spoke with us about different topics. During the conversation he stopped abruptly and pointed to the forest next to us and said he saw a man walk in the forest wearing all black. This area is all marsh and difficult to walk. When I looked I didn�t see anything. Saw: Discovered while hunting an elaborate curious landscaping in a forested area near a dam that sits adjacent to two lakes. It appeared in this landscaping well gardened plant on rotting or decayed trees. One pile of trees contained a pile of seeds neatly arranged in the open on top surface of one the trees. - There was also a vine of thorns (like a fence) circling one area containing a growth of plants on an arranged pile of decaying trees (similar to Bermuda lawn grass). The plants were well groomed and did not match the other trees that contained only moss. -One large slanted tree held the same plant growth and appeared to cover half of the tree. This plant growth was not located on any other trees in the immediate area. -A canvass three tree structure that stood seven feet high and was interwoven at the top of the structure.-The place reminded me of a well cared for garden. -A stream with muddy banks split the forested areas between the two lakes in observation. On one side of the banks were several sets of what appeared to be human hand prints leaving out of the water. The arrangement of the prints appeared to emulate that the position of its body is in the water and the trunk of the body was supported by the arms as it was searching the embankment. All of the prints appeared to possess an inch to two inch pointed claws. No foot prints were discovered at all. No evidence of any animal leaving the waters edge. -In the night-I shined a flash light and observed two very large and round �orange� eyes in the forest near our tent. The eyes were situated about six feet above the ground. These eyes moved several times during the period that I shined my light. I measured the distance the following morning by comparing the height of the eyes to a tree that was near the spot. -Other observations include a bedding area that appeared to contain at one time two animals five to six feet in length. The area was in a tall grass space within a heavily forested area. Both places appeared to be something that was sleeping in a fetal position. Next to the bedding area was a four inch wide by six inch tall make shift lean to that contained at one time a small fire. The charred items within the lean to were small branches and dried grass. December 6-10, 2010. Witness: Chris HUNTING First night: (Sunday)-Chris and I were the only campers in the campground. -While using the outhouse, I heard hooting from across the lake, an animal next to the outhouse responded to the hooting by responding with a chimp rant changing tone to what resembled a samurai chatter, then ending in a deep guttural sound. (The event reminded me of a kid telling his mom, �I am here at the campground!�) Something opened and closed the door on the female side of the outhouse. I immediately called Chris to come toward the outhouse.-Placed three apples on an empty campsite's picnic table as a lure. The apples were never touched.-Shined my flash light into the adjacent forest and located two very large eyes in the forest. They appeared to be six feet above the ground. The set of eyes changed from two eyes to one eye as the figure appeared to turn and walk toward the lake. -About an hour into retiring for the evening. Someone appeared to be fanning our extinguished camp fire. I heard the wood that was left in the fire pit being moved around in the pit. I heard the occasional clinking of the wood against the metal barrier.-I saw what appeared to be a kitten lifted and placed against the tent. The paws were off the ground and not on the tent siding �too high above the ground.� All - -- All night something was unzipping and zipping the tent.-Someone was dropping heavy objects into the lake all night.-Heard what appeared to be a very big squir
