π Description
In the Summer of 2000 my friends and I were camping in George Washington National Forest. Ramsey's Draft Wilderness area. We experienced knocks and rock throwing. The thing that made us a bit UN-nerved was that that night in spite of our loud talking a deer had decided to wander up to the camp within about 10 feet and stayed next to us the entire night! This area is frequented by large amounts of hunters during the fall which should have made the deer stay very far away. We also had a large campfire. It seems to me that the deer was seeking a safe place to be because there was obviously something bigger to worry about than us humans. There were several more rocks thrown that night.
π Circumstances
3 other witnesses. We were all just sitting and talking.
π€οΈ Weather Conditions
Day and night. Lots of sunlight during the day. The area would be a narrow valley surrounded by mountains. There was a brook with what is considered a pristine population of Brook Trout. Night time was very dark. No moon light. The temp was warm and the air was very still.
