I have a friend that used to, and most likely still hikes up in the white mountains around vermont and new hamshire mostly. I perfectly remember him
telling me this story after returning from a trip early one day. Off the bat i knew something was different because he came home early, second he was
a little shook up. He began telling me about how his first night started, first with setting the tent up, blah blah blah, then sleep came. I think he
was with a couple other people, so they are talking and getting ready for bed, when they hear some wierd sounds. The sound gets louder and louder, but
he couldnt make it out. seconds later a hurd of animals fly past the tent, he said it seemed like tiny critters first then some larger ones, possibly
deer. after the passing of the animals, he could hear a loud roar, followed by moaning of somesort. basically he said he could hear animals dieing and
a larger, over powring sound above the deathly sounds. he didnt think it was a bear, beecause bears have a distint roar, he said this one was diff. he
couldnt run so he and the others just lay still, with all lights off. from the sound of thihngs, it seemed as though they were off in the distance,
but making a run for it was stupid 1) pitch black 2) even flashlights wouldnt help running back down the trail becasuse of roots, windy path, just not
smart 3) better chance whatever was out there would hear them. the sounds eventually stopped and they stayed alert the whoile night. THANK GOD I WASNT
THERE!!! in the morning, the left the campsite, packing, and being vary cautios, seeing that it was day they began to hike towards the sounds, and
actually quite quickly came upon a field. In the field they found the remains of deer, squirrels, and other rodents, however it wasnt this pleasent.
legs were lying around, torn off, internal organs and the insides of animals were laying on rocks, and so forth.... didnt look to tasty, not that dead
animals are ever tasty. right after this, he said he just almost jogged or quickly spurted from the scene, hiking down the trail. when they finaly
reached bottom, safe with their car, and other people around, they asked bystanders if they knew anytrhing, and no one knew. when he got home he
called some officials, it might have been the offices of the kangamangus highway (dont know if i spelt it right, but its a long highay stretch through
new hamshire) or some other wildlife thingy... whatever it was they said they had never heard of this and that they would go check it out. then he
came to me, ending the story. Personally i have no clue what it could have been. Bear?? dont think so, dont really see how a bear or group of bears
could do something like that, plus the creature (s) didnt make bear sounds as my friend reported
Ive got another one that fits under this category (i dont feel like doing a double post) At a camp i used to go to, i built a relationship with one of
the trip leaders. he was a family friend, hes father was a friend of mine... and so on. well he was an avid hiker and did a lot of hiking throughout
the year and used to tell me stories. well this is the one i remember most. he was hiking with his girlfriend i think and spotted a large animal,
didnt really look like a bear, but was big, however there was something wierd about the situation, it was hovering over a fallen moose. now i know for
sure moose are hard to take down, i mean, if u havnt search on the internet for some pics of what moose do to cars when they are hit lol... well he
and his gf backtrack to the hut, i forget which one, was either a hut (for u non hikers, places where hikers stay over night) or cabin of wildlife
worker. He tlaks to the guy and suprisingly he comes back out with a shotgun, the man with the gun asks my friend where was this and he takes him to
the spot. the moose was gone, as well as the "creature" so they vear off the trail into a field and come upon a trail. now i dont know about u but i
wouldnt want to go into a cave when some random creature is walking around, but they did. inside they found bones, and to cots. COTS??? when i ehard
this i was like "huh?!?!?!" if this was linked to the creature, idk but the guy with the gun sure did, seemed liek he had a grudge agaiunst it or
something, why else would he spurt up out of the cabin "with a shotgun" and demandingly say, where did u see it. hey never found it, and my firend
was smart enough not to stay to find out. idk what to make sense of these two events, but they sure as hell where hair raisers when my friends told
them to me. BIG FOOT??? RABID-HUINTER-MAN??? CHUPACABRA (haha no, dont arnt they speculated to live in fla... w/e) ANGRY GUERILLA??? whatever it is,
idk but thought u guys and gals here at ATS would find this interesting.
ps anyone gotss any other stories like mine, they are def interesting!
