Re: Wierd things you have seen in the woods.
On a mountainside running along a stream here in NE Penna. on the family's farm are a collection of stacked stone piles. They are about 3 -5 feet tall, have flat tops and are obviously man made. I recall counting about thirty of them one time, This is old Indian country and assume they were created by them, but have never found anything that could justify their purpose. I was tempted to dismantle one out of curiosity once , but decided to leave it intact in respect to those that put them there. Don't want any ancient Indian curse following me around anyway.

I have them too on my property in Susquehanna county. I have stone walls all over the place too right along property lines. Maybe it was something cool they liked to do to pass the time back in the day? Pretty sure they didn't have xbox or the internets.

Now we're getting somewhere. These piles are just over in Wayne County near Starrucca. I have no doubt the stone walls were done by early settlers to hold in cattle and form property lines but the stone piles are a mystery, I've read about stone formations in New England that are thought to be runes but these don't seem to be the same. It's curious you have found the same thing so close,. Perhaps a local custom or belief?

Re: Wierd things you have seen in the woods.
In 7th grade I lived in Mobile Alabama - this town had a very creepy Deliverance kinda vibe.

There was a concrete ditch near our house that we used to skateboard in, it was about 7-8 feet below ground level. The very first day we went there we discovered a dismembered animal lying in pieces in the ditch, with no skin.

Many weeks or months after moving to Mobile, a friend named Sam and I decided to skate along the ditch (away from the neighborhood and into the woods) to see where it would lead us. We followed it for a mile or so into the woods. It eventually ended at a vertical wall of earth and concrete, with two holes continuing forward. The holes were about 5-6 feet in diameter and each had horizontal metal bars stretching across their length right in the middle.

We stood there trying to decide whether to continue, when suddenly we heard a voice coming from the right tunnel. It said for us to "come inside". My friend and I were terrified and totally frozen stiff. Then other voices joined in, it seemed they knew we were terrified and they were laughing, adult's voices and also children's voices. Then an instrument started playing, it sounded like an oboe or a reed instrument.

Here's where it gets weird. We were standing there, not moving or saying a word, and the next thing we saw were several pairs of GLOWING EYES in the tunnel. They were yellowish white, and bobbing up and down as though walking.

There is a minor gap in my memory at this point, but basically what emerged from the tunnels was a suburban family of 5, all on bicycles. The minor gap is that I don't actually remember them getting their bicycles over the metal bars that blocked the tunnel, and it seems like I would've remembered this because it would've been a difficult thing to do.

They were all blond-haired and blue eyed, they looked like a suburb family right out of a catalog. There was a man and woman in their mid-30s with 3 children, the oldest being about 12 and the youngest being about 5 or 6. I remember looking at the youngest child and seeing circles under her eyes, I thought to myself "That girl looks like she's on drugs".

The man held out a small object which I took to be the instrument he was playing. He said, "The next time you hear this, you'll know it is us." Then they got on their bicycles and rode away.

I know that I would've eventually written off this story as my imagination, but the only reason I know for sure that it happened exactly as I'm telling, with the glowing eyes and everything, is because there was someone else with me and we confirmed everything with each other afterwards.

An aryan suburb family of 5 with glowing eyes in a pitch black sewer tunnel in the middle of the woods... what had we stumbled across and what were they doing there? I've always wondered.

Re: Wierd things you have seen in the woods.
In the early '70s, Anchorage (Alaska) was kinda of a no-mans land around the outskirts of the city. It was an ugly place to live - actually a frozen gravel pit for most of the year. But one summer after breakup, some friends and I went on an 'adventure hike' in one of the really isolated parts outside town.

Didn't come across any moose or bear, but in the middle of nowhere we saw an abandoned car, totally rusted out and pretty much blended in with the woods with grass and shrubs literally growing out of it. So we had to take a look of course.

No shit, there was a guy in there and when he saw us he sat straight up and just stared at us - he looked like a woolly mammoth - hair everywhere, absolutely freaky like out of the Twilight Zone, barely any clothes on and it's still cold out. He didn't say a word. We never ran so hard in our lives. As we looked back, he was still staring at us, not moving whatsoever. I still don't know what the hell he/it was.

Of course, had nightmares for years over that one. scream Best advice ever - never hike alone, tell people where you're going, carry a weapon, and these days a cellphone, and get ready to RUN LIKE HELL when the alarm bells go off. Worse thing you can do is freakin' freeze!

I think this happens to people who 'go missing' as they say in Alaska - nobody knows what happened to them - they just disappear without a trace.

Re: Wierd things you have seen in the woods.
I have another woods story that is a little odd.

At around the 5th grade my 2 younger brothers were in soccer. I wasn't much into team sports after maybe grade 2 or 3, so I wasn't involved. But I had to come along to the games.

The soccer field was surrounded by woods, so sometimes I would go walking around. One time I remember walking in the woods for awhile and coming upon a huge deer with its eyes closed, sitting down against a tree.

It didn't move as I approached it, and I wondered if maybe it was a sculpture or something. I got to within maybe 15 feet of it (very close!), when all of a sudden it opened its eyes, stood up, and ran away.

My mom's boyfriend at the time was a sportsman and hunter. He was sitting in the bleachers of the soccer field, I went back and told him what happened. He was very excited and followed me back into the woods, but we couldn't find the deer.

He told me that even a deer hunter will never see a sleeping deer in their whole life, as a deer's senses are many degrees more heightened than ours. How I had gotten so close to it, I have no idea.

Re: Wierd things you have seen in the woods.
A couple of years back located in a south Texas woods area, a couple of friends of mine decided to have some wood terrian paintball. Which is actually really interesting, especially if you can orchestrate a perfect ambush. Anyhow while setting up a perimeter my foot landed on a random machete.
It was rather funny, something you would expect in a video game. Like Silent Hill or some other horror game. Finding a random weapon lol.

Re: Wierd things you have seen in the woods.
With 4 of my firends about 4 years ago we saw a small green ball, we followed it for like 2 min, and then it went through some trees and dissapeared in the distance. It was like a ball of energy, we tried to step on it and our feet would go through it. But we were on shrooms, so is something you can only see on some sort of trip. It was about 4 inches big maybe less, it was one of the coolest things i have ever seen, we all saw the same thing, so it was not a hallucination. We know what we saw. To this day we still talk about it.

stone piles are a common sight everywhere in the european alps, on high altitude. people just add to them. i'm sure it's common all around the world (seen plenty of pictures of other mountain ranges with stone piles in it).

 Quoting: BD 1391571

i once startled a sleeping deer (i guess, it was lying down); it jumped up, i ducked instinctively and it jumped right over me and ran off. consider myself lucky to hooves didn't hit me.

biggest fright was startling an adult white owl, which is rare in my parts. it was also either sleeping or eating on the ground. flow up from in front of my feet with a massive wingspan. brilliant experience. very odd because i had been cracking dried branches for minutes to get through a dense part of the forest.

Re: Wierd things you have seen in the woods.
This wasn't in the woods, but near it. I 13 or 14 was playing "Manhunt," with friends, which is basically large-scale "Jailbreak." I was out in the pipeline behind my house running from the people who were "it." I finally laid down in the grass and saw a car coming perpendicular to me across the pipeline in road. I realized the lights could tell me if someone was coming so I looked to the right on one of the house's fences. The car turned right onto the road parallel the pipeline, and as it did, I saw the shadow of what I can only say was a wolf with a mane like a horse. I didn't see any actual creature, only the shadow. I saw it for maybe 5 seconds tops and it was gone as soon as the car's lights were out of sight.

1973 NE Ohio
I was 13 and with a group of boys camping/partying in a large wooded area late at night in July. What was first thought to be a large fire ended up being a bright orb that chased/was chased by us for nearly an hour. Witnessed by 6, including one guys Father who was dragged out to the woods by his out of breath son at 2am.
Below treetop level most of the time, it was too bright to look at directly.It made no noise, but to be honest the soundtrack to that memory is weak compared to the imagery.

Re: Wierd things you have seen in the woods.
I was once involved in a very passionate relationship that never became sexual with an older woman, and we betook ourselves, one day, to Salcey Forest, near Northampton, UK, a place which had been used as an extended series of concrete WW2 bomb dumps - in those days car parks, though most nowadays blocked off - amidst the pine forest.

But that day, back in summer, 1980, we just couldn't get any privacy. There was always some idiot intrusively grinning in the middle distance, so we eventually departed, to conclude our psychic intensities elsewhere.

Years later I discovered that an IRA cache of explosives had been under prolonged surveillance there in the forest, and thereafter assumed that this had been the reason for the (ultimately benign) intrusive idiots' presence.

Stumbled across an Adder snake in the West Country when I was 7. I went to pick it up, but it scared me, so I ran back to the mini-bus. A while later the teacher & some of the kids brought back a young girl who looked ill with a heavy nose bleed. She'd been bitten by an Adder, & had to be rushed to Hospital for treatment, but she was ok in the end. I'm not scared of snakes, but found the Adder a bit off-putting.

Re: Wierd things you have seen in the woods.
I don't really have a story of my own BUT my old landlord told me a freaky story once. I guess he used to work for a company that delivered big stuff as a driver back in his 20s (he would be 70ish now). Well one day he ended up having to deliver a big truck full of unknown cargo out into the middle of nowhere (Some desert state, Arizona I think it was) because the guy who normally delivered couldn't for some reason.

So he is given instructions to drive out to a specific spot where he finds a phone, like literally in the middle of this crapped out desert road. He picks up the phone and a woman starts asking him to identify himself, which he does, then is told to wait. After a short period of time military vehicles show up, ID him and told him to follow. They took him a few miles off road into the desert to a mountain, which he said 'magically opened' into a huge base that had all sorts of big things inside covered with sheets. A man came up and signed his papers and then we was lead straight back out all the way to the main road.

waaaht

Never did figure out if he was pulling my leg or not! Haha sounds like something out of a movie.

Only thing I've ever seen in the woods is snakes, raccoons, an squirrels lol. And it's not because I wasn't looking!!

Default Strange things found while in the woods.
I have a few finds here is one :

I was hunting in a wilderness area where There were no trails. It was myself and two other friends and we hiked off and on for two days 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 few months 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. we never told the anyone about the old helicopter pilot so I would bet he is still out there. He had some great shine.
I have been going to hike back there and see if he is still alive, he has to be over 80 now.

Default Re: Weird findings in the woods
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.

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.
