[quote:Anonymous Coward 13587256:MV8xNzM3MDUxXzMyNjI3NTU0XzQ0MzkyQTUx] I used to live in a 18th century cabin in remote southeastern West Virginia surrounded by woods. Several strange things happened in the five years I lived there. One night in the fall I started hearing an electrical charge sound from outside the cabin. Hard to describe the sound but it was sort of like the sound you hear near power stations, like a low hum of electricity. I went outside to look at the power lines connected to the house and the noise was coming from the woods. I pointed my flashlight in the direction of this sound and walked into the woods. I got about two hundred yards in and the humming sound was getting louder and I also heard a crackling sound. I started to feel a strange sense of dread and my head began to throb in pain. I leaned against a tree and looked back towards the cabin to see a group of neon green orbs about the size of basketballs weaving through the trees in a symmetrical formation towards my location. I watched these balls of light glide through the woods and stop in unison than disappear as soon as they reached my position. [/quote]

I got a special wilderness permit to go into an area in the mountains in CA where they hadn't allowed foot traffic in, in twenty years. There were no trails. It was myself and two other Marines and we did it in exchange for seeing if there was a rare kind of trout in the streams up there. I guess the forest service didn't have anyone who wanted to do it. I'm not sure I was set up with this by a friend. Anyway we hiked for two days with no trails using just a map and compass and on the second day we walked around this huge cliff to find a full on cabin with a lawn and solar power and washer and dryer the whole nine yards all built into the rock face of the cliff. You couldn't see it from above so it had gone unoticed for years. We talked to the guy that lived there and he said we were the first people he had seen hike in, in 14 years. He was a retired helicopter pilot and he had flown all the equipment in by helo. He was squatting on federal land and knew it but didn't seem worried. He said he hikes out every two weeks for supplies by a different route then we came in and he showed it to us. We used that route to get back as he had a trail beaten down so the walking was easier. All in all it was pretty cool. The trout the forest service was looking for were in the creeks so it is still closed to foot travel and we never told the forest service about the old helicopter pilot so I would bet he is still out there.
