A listener writes “Just started listing to your show because of something that happened to a friend and I back in 2006. Here it is….

Camping on the north side of Timothy lake Mt Hood Oregon 2006. Me two of my buddies and two of our girlfriends. It was about 1am or later and me, my dog and one of friends went to get fire wood. We where right at the point where the PCT meets up with the lake loop trail. About 100 yards from camp. We found a old dead tree the we could chop up with our axe. We took turns one would hold the flash light and the other would chop. In between axe hits I heard something moving. I was holding the flashlight. I said “Stop” to my buddy.

It sounded like it was coming right us. It was BIG. Then it stopped. Huh. We continued. Then I realized sounds were coming from the trees. Branches moving, cracking…It was up in the trees now. Trees around that area 40-70+ feet. Again it sounded like it was moving towards us in the trees. We freaked out and started yelling and screaming trying to scare it off. Well it worked what ever it was seemed to be leaping through the tree tops going east away from us. Branches swaying booms and cracks as it seemed to be running through the trees tops. It was big,heavy and fast. I wished I had a good LED flashlight to light up the trees to get a eye on whatever the hell it was. But I just had a older style MAG light. But we were spooked.

In all the commotion I realized my dog was gone. I thought what ever it was took my dog. But was relived to see her back at camp. Even my dog was terrified. She did not leave my side the rest of the night. When we got back to camp me and my buddy didn’t say much but just looked at each of with faces saying what the hell was that.”
