A listener writes “Hey Wes, I just heard Friday nights show and I had to write in. I never would have considered writing to you since the encounter my friends and I had was like your Friday night’s guests, a purely strange encounter where we know “something” large walked into our camp, but we never saw it.

As the story goes my 2 friends and I were camping in the western portion of the Catskill mountains in Upstate New York, on a trail to the highest peak Slide Mountain. This peak is around 4,200 feet, which is considered high on the East Coast. We spent 2 days camping at the same spot, and I think this was our second night on the mountain. Commonly my preferred method of camping is to hike high up a mountain on a trail, then turn off somewhere random and find a flat spot off the trail. We were probably 2/3 up the mountain when we turned off and found a flat spot a little off the trail.

One of the first things we noticed, which we thought was rather odd, was something my one friend pointed out that there was this pile of rocks, essentially a cairn, a ways off the trail at the edge of where we planned to camp. Even more strange was there was this ring of small trees, all the same height, surrounding the pile. Now of course anyone could have built a pile of rocks at some point, but it did seem strange for these trees to be growing around it all the same height, small even maybe 5 foot high trees. We wouldn’t have thought more about it unless our unexplained situation didn’t occur. I can’t really link anything between these 2 situation, unless it’s something paranormal. But we tend to think whatever walked into our camp the one night was rather large.

At camp there was a large rock, about 5 foot high and maybe 10 foot diameter. appx 15 – 20 feet away from it we set our tents. We had our camp fire against the large boulder as I will continue to refer to it as. Probably around 11pm, at least well after dark in the summertime, my friend Lenny and I headed into our tents as the fire died out. My third friend Bruno was already in his tent in the center of ours. My friend Lenny and I were sort of moving around in our tents, settling in, when we heard something large walk from up the hill in the directions of where the trail was towards the boulder. It sounded at least human size or larger, and my friend Lenny immediately assumed it was a forest ranger. Our tents were closed and it was dark, so once we heard this thing walk towards the boulder my friend yelled our sarcastically “Excuse Me” and the walking stopped. Whatever it was went silent. My friend Lenny and I put on our headlamps, opened our tents, and looked towards the boulder. We saw nothing. We got out and my friend started going around the perimeter of the boulder while I got on top of the boulder and looked around. Nothing. My friend increased his radius around the boulder and I kept looking around as well and we – saw – nothing. Eventually we gave up and went back to our tents. My friend Bruno in the middle tent never got out, but he heard the whole thing.

To this day it still baffles us. My friend Lenny is very skeptical and will explain just about anything away, but he still admits almost 10 years later that there was no explanation for that and he still tells people about it. The key points we’ve discussed for years is that whatever it was, was at least the size of a human or larger. https://www.myfuck.club/categories/russkoe-porno/ This thing sounded like it was on 2 legs, like a human walk, which is why Lenny assumed it was a forest ranger. The second Lenny spoke it froze 20 feet from us. We never heard it leave from the boulder spot, nothing that large could just sneak away silently in the few seconds it took us to get out of our tents. We spent at least 20 minutes combing the perimeter with nothing in sight. And we just found it convenient that rock pile with the trees perfectly growing around it at the same height was not only there, but in this thing came from the direction of that formation.

Whatever it was seems to defy our logic, and I thought after finishing Friday Night’s show I might as well tell you about the story.”
