A listener writes “Years ago I came across a set of child like foot prints in the snow. It was deep snow. 12-18 inches deep, along the top of a ditch, which had a creek running through it. I didn’t follow them far.
I was about 10, or 11 at the time, just out playing in the drifting snow. But I remember thinking how could a little kid have walked through this snow, by themselves? Given the size of the tracks, I would put the person at about 3-3.5 feet tall. The footprint was only about 4-5 inches long. It was so out of place. But it was close the the apartment complex I lived in at the time, on the outskirts of our small town, so I didn’t think much more about it.
I have seen a ball of light floating through the woods. It was only once, and there were two others with me that seen it as well. At first we thought it was light from a flashlight coming our way. But soon realized the light was on our side of the trees. And it wasn’t shining on anything, but instead, it was casting my light in all directions. We were camping in what is know as the Hoosier national forest. And we had a large lake to our backs. So we would have seen any light shining from the lake. The light lasted maybe only 20 seconds, and was gone. The I would guess 15 minutes later 1-2 foot waves splashed on the bank. Like the wake after a boat passes by. But there were no boats. And where we were was an idle zone.”

I had a similar puzzling thing while winter deer hunting after new snow approximately 10” deep. Late evening in my tree stand at the edge of an old logging road, no tracks, but did hear something break through a frozen beaver pond at last light….definitely wasn’t the cracking of ice as it expands. Back to the stand at first light the following day and saw what I thought were kids boot prints because of the size and wondered where the dads tracks were(there were none) and what they were doing there in the dark…until I realized the space between the tracks was even farther than I could possibly reach, my inseam is 34” and I’m familiar with tracks so it didn’t make sense…until a friend and customer told me of seeing an all black humanoid crossing a 2 lane blacktop road that following spring…it was dragging an injured leg and gripped it’s thigh with it’s hand..it still managed to jump like a kangaroo on one leg and crossed the road very fast in 2 leaps. It was funny how unknowingly at first both of our strange experiences we almost kept to ourselves connected to the same area within a mile. He never had anything unexplainable happen before that outside of some fake sounding owl noises and the feeling of being watched through the window of his rural home at night….Also after the snow was gone at least another year later I had noticed a couple young trees that looked as though they were grabbed like an upside down wishbone and pulled apart and split right to the ground and no other damage that might occur from a buck rubbing….had never seen that before and not sure if it was a marker or sign or something I’m not aware of, but it was in the same line I found the tracks and just a stones throw from the beaver pond. It would’ve taken an incredible amount of strength to pull even a small tree apart like that…it was also where you could’ve just started to see me in my stand if you were walking in the woods…all of this put together is pretty wild.
