Wierd things you have seen in the woods.

I LOVE this thread!! It's like an old friend, showing up every once in awhile with lots of new stories.

Here's my story. It's not scary like the others, but it made a big impression on me at the time.

It was 1970 or 71. I was a "city girl" who had married into a "good ol' boy" family. Well, it was traditional for the family to go deer hunting together. The place where they would all congregate was called "French Camp", near Yosemite in California. Anyway, when all the guys would leave before dawn the women would stay in camp, usually go back to bed to get up again around 9 or 10 am, then putt around the camp until the guys would all come back in. The women really had no interest in hunting; I think the guys just brought us along to cook for them etc.

Anyway, this was pretty BORING for me, so one morning when the rest of the women went back to bed I decided to go for a walk. There was a little trail, and I figured as long as I stayed on the trail I could just turn around and get back to camp. I'd never been out in that much Nature at one time, so I was taking my time and looking at the plants and trees and stuff. I came around a bend in the trail, and looked ahead and realized I was looking into the eyes of a fawn. He/she still had a few spots left (which is how I figured out that it was a fawn). We just stood there looking at each other - about 10 feet apart. There was massive brush alongside both sides of the trail at that point, almost like a tunnel. Suddenly there was a sort of whistle, (must have been Mama) and the fawn bolted away. Having never seen anything larger than a German Shepherd dog, seeing that fawn really made an impression on me. It was my "secret" memory, and I was happy inside when the guys got "skunked" and came back deer-less - I couldn't imagine killing such a beautiful creature.

I saw a bunch of people in a circle speaking weird languages around a fire dressed in what looked like white robes. I was young at the time so I though they were Satanists.

I later found out that this was a worshipping area of Native Americans and they were doing some tobacco ceremony. The white robes were actually white Indian garments, not Satanist's robes.

Where are you going :(

I also feed birds and my cats love to sit by the patio door watching the birds, one day a Coopers Hawk must have thought the cats were outside and the hawk slammed into the patio door with great velocity.

The cats scrambled then returned to watch the dazed hawk stand by the door trying to regain its composure and senses while I looked up local wildlife rehabilitation centers on the Internet.

The hawk then perched on the squirrel feeder watching the cats for a while then flew off however it must have been hurt. The hawk left a perfect impression on the patio glass door so it hit with great force and I was surprised that the glass was not shattered as he hit the glass with one loud thud.

we were walking deep in the woods in my hometown at the time MD. came upon a cave covered by a large boulder, came back later in the evening around dusk and the boulder had moved to allow whatever passage in or out,this boulder was huge with no possible road or passage to get any heavy machinery to the area to lift the 10' oval boulder that weighed several tonnes...wtf? my friend and I jogged the next couple miles to our car taking turns looking behind us...

And how about a couple nude photos first.

I saw a dude taking a shit in the woods. The interesting part was the length of the turd. It ran from his ass to the ground as one long shit rope.

Back to reality, as ugly as it may be...

Has anyone seen any portals?

My sisters daughter told me she stepped out from her moms apartment one day and was in the front yard looking at traffic when all of a sudden the street and cars began to ripple like when you drop a stone into water and your reflection ripples in rings.

Reality is not as tight as humans like to think.

For anyone who's read the entire thread, what's the best one?

The dogs both jumped up and licked my face before running off across the desert toward Apple Valley.

I don't know. There was a lot of speculation but none of it really made sense. One popular theory was a mountain lion waiting in a tree jumped down & drug him off but the parents never heard a thing! You'd think the lion would have made some kind of noise or that the boy would have screamed if that had been the case.

They do hang out in the trees a lot. I've seen quite a few lions (and bobcats) in trees but unless you a a constant looker up,looker-sideways, looker in back, look down like I am in the woods you'd never know they were there.

But the parents weren't that far behind and they never heard a thing! If it had been a kidnapper you would think the parents would have heard the abductor running away.

I just don't know what could have been so silent.

The dog probably licked his nuts first and the other dog was laughing at you.
