“I was being watched on the woods, it was the strangest feeling.”
Who ever made it had fashioned it to be sitting on a log.
They left a very neat pile of bones in front of the thing, and nothing anywhere else.

I saw it and about fainted.
I took note of it and we moved on to the next plots.
It impacted on a tree above my head.
I immediately fired three shots as fast as I could, not at the shooter but in the air.
In my hunting group, immediate three shots means HELP basically.
I basically laid on the ground until I could tell they were near the dirt road.
They didnt see him.
Nobody was suppose to be in the part I was at.
Scared the shit out of me.
I noped the hell out of there immediately.

Im not a hunter, but I do a lot of hiking and mountain biking in the woods.
Nothing has ever made me not want to go back, but there has been some weird shit.
First, theres just a lot of weird stuff in the woods.
Teepees, alters, lean-tos, shrines, etc.
But whats a lot scarier to me is stuff that isntmeantto be creepy like the aforementioned things hopefully are.
I once heard a distant panicked scream followed by a crashing/thudding sound.
I think the creepiest thing Ive experienced was one time while walking home from school through the woods.
They were quiet for a minute, and then I heard them again, really close now.
Guy 2: SHH!
I came around a corner and expected to see them, but I couldnt see anyone.
I kept walking, cautious and trying to be aware of my surroundings.
It was a bunch of stuff wrapped up in a big tarp.
It wasnt completely wrapped up and you could kind of see into it.
All I could see was something glass and I wanted to see what it was.
Suddenly, one of them says keep walking very calmly.
I looked back into the forest but still couldnt see anyone.
They said go, still calm.
I dont know what was going on but the whole thing gave me the creepiest vibe Ive ever gotten.

Camping alone in the middle of Missouri the night before turkey hunting.
The place I found was a fairly well used campsite but no one was there.
About to go to sleep when I hear a truck come up.
Its a dude and his girlfriend drinking beers and going for a ride.
I probably have a few in my tool kit.
I did not sleep at all that night.
I was being watched on the woods, it was the strangest feeling.
One bear was standing up in the middle of the access road staring right at me.
Water carries sound really well, so it woke us all right the fuck up.
Turns out it was a beaver that smacked the shit out of the water before diving under.
I spend a lot of time in the backcountry in the winter time.
We go quiet and can hear this man rambling while hes pacing.
They had parked before the trailhead so we didnt notice their car.
We said our goodbyes and walked out.
But hot damn I was sure we were about to be killed in the woods.
Hear heavy footsteps behind me.
Theyre slow and sound heavier than a human or even a buck.
I almost get paralyzed when I turn around and see 2 holes on a rough leathery bump.
Not a hunter, but a herper.
It looked like we walked right into the blare witch project.
We got out of there fast and told the volunteer coordinator we were working with.
I understand making forts in the woods but the structures these kids made were freaky af.
As I was relaxing, I noticed this light that kept flashing past my eyes.
I looked over to where it was coming from, but I couldnt see what was there.
Then I looked down and there was a red dot on my chest.
Some asshole was using a laser sight and aiming at me.
I yelled at him and started walking towards him, but he ran off.
I went back to camp for the rest of the day.
It was obvious they were being used as hunting cabins during hunting season.
They were dressed head to toe like snipers with ghillie suits on with large caliber rifles pointed at me.
That scared the heck out of me.
They saw me walking around looking and measuring everything and taking photos of the place.

I missed this trip with my dad and his hunting buddy.
They were in a remote section of southeastern Wyoming hunting for elk.
What was a person doing walking down the road in complete darkness with no hunting gear?
From there, it had to have been a terrifying experience for that girl.
I sure wouldnt want two middle-aged rednecks picking me up 40 miles from any town.
She estimated she walked about 4 miles on a dirt road before my dad found her.
Its a good thing hunters start early because she easily could have died.
The lake and river was a two hour drive from the nearest city.
I turned to the people in the boat and told them what I saw.
Walked towards the building, and realized it wasnt alone.
Multiple homes, buildings in the middle of the forest.
It was a very small and isolated Native American tribe, and we backed away.
Not super creepy but didnt want to cause any trouble.
We continued on without any contact.
Its practically impossible for a human being to have done this and nobody has a reasonable explanation for it.
Even the most seasoned hunters will tell you to stay the hell away from there…
Frequent Colorado hunter here.
People just wont go in that deep unless theyre headed for a popular lake or peak.
Even then they wont stray much from the trail.
But it was the location that was spooky.
It made no sense, it wasnt by any game trails, water, or passes.
There was no reason for where it was other than to get completely lost and off the grid.
And it was well stocked with carefully constructed shelters, tables, fireplace, and other amenities.
There was also little, wooden carved statues and carved symbols and shit everywhere some still hanging from branches.
This spooked me and how.
We got out of there and promised to not hike that way again.
Trees for miles so there was no way to land an aircraft of any sorts.
So I have two stories.
I immediately started meditating to slow my breath and just weather the situation.
Because I knew if I moved or made a run for my car Id be dead.
The next morning I found some paw prints and they were the biggest bear prints Ive ever seen.
Was deep in the woods this time too.
Set up camp in a very nice little ravine.
When I woke up there was a ring of big rocks around my camping area.
They werent there when I got there/set up camp.
Im also a stout dude and I couldnt move any of the rocks.

In September this year I was hunting Antelope out near the Red Desert in Wyoming.
This area is so extremely remote its hard to even describe.
Im pretty spooked at this point.
