Robert writes “Me, my wife, son, and dog just came back from a couple nights camping in Bear Brook State Park in New Hampshire. The campground is 3-4 miles into a 10,000 acre park. Fairly remote…
The last night, just after 2:00 a.m., we woke up to the sound of light metal banging. It sounded like it could have tent poles. I looked outside the tent toward the neighboring site and saw a blueish/white light moving back and forth. It probably stretched about 30 yards wide and fairly high into the trees although dimmer as it got higher.
I initially thought it must be the guy with a flashlight looking at what was making noise outside the tent. But then I saw what looked like a rod of light maybe a foot long (oriented vertically) that seemed to be going in and out of the top corner of the tent. Now this could have been an LED light bar. But the behavior seemed erratic and it was above where the tent windows were. It also seemed to be easily going in and out of the tent which was weird behavior as well.
Then the light entered the tent fully and lit it up very bright. At this time you could see the silhouette of someone on a cot, and they raised up off the cot about a foot slightly arched at the waist/lower back. It was super creepy because that’s what you see in the movies. I thought maybe it was the guy lifting up a sleeping bag or lifting up his son but the weird part was there was no silhouette of someone standing. Just the light, the cot and what appeared to be a horizontal body.
Shortly after, the light quickly became much dimmer and illuminated only the lower quarter of the tent. Which is weird for light to uniformly spread across only one elevation but not at least mildly illuminate the rest. Then the light either got very bright again or maybe it just flickered but soon it was gone from the tent. Right at that time a small orb about the size of a baseball appeared just over the same corner the first rod light was seen. This slowly moved away and slightly higher. It probably started out around 6-7 feet off the ground and moved to about 15-20.
At that point I recognized a look and behavior I have heard on your show. It gave off a light pale white/blue/purple light and only barely illuminated its immediate surroundings if at all. It was bright but dim at the same time. I could just have been scared but from the start I had the distinct feeling I didn’t want the light to catch me watching. That was all we needed to see some got in the car and left. At this time all lights were gone. When we were leaving we saw the guy outside his tent looking around. I can’t remember if behalf a flashlight on but if he did it was very dim. We quickly stopped and asked him if something was banging around over there and he said there was “a possum… a big one… and it wouldn’t leave”. So maybe that was all it was, and hopefully that was the case. However I am still creeped out by the following:
As soon as we woke up my wife and I were both shaking almost involuntarily as if we were freezing.
I realized afterwards I don’t remember going to bed. I asked my wife and she said the same. We both remember getting into bed but not falling asleep. That’s weird for me who usually takes awhile.
The immediate feeling the lights I was seeing were conscious in a way and I did not want to be seen.
The levitating silhouette
The small orb moving upwards and away. I took a photo out the tent window when I went back to take a closer look at perspective and scale. This thing was well above the tent.”

Joe writes “I had my encounter while deer hunting in 1993 in the northeast corner of Pennsylvania. My father and uncles started a hunting camp on this property in the early 70’s and it was 2200 acres, great hunting. I was always intrigued to put a stand up on a area that we never hunted because it’s about a 40 minute walk from the camp but I finally gave in and headed out to scout the area about 3 weeks before the season. The area was all large fir and pine trees which made it darker than open timber areas but I saw a lot of deer sign and set up a spot for opening day . Well th day came and in the morning I headed out earlier than usual because of the 40 minute walk in the dark .
When I arrived at the spot I chose I was excited about the day ahead, so I thought. Day break came slowly but surely and by 8am I hadn’t seen one deer. I decided to open my pack around 9am and have a sandwich. As I was eating it I heard a noise like a branch when its stepped on, so I thought here come some deer. I put the sandwich down and got my rifle ready , nothing, no more noise at all quiet for at least 15 minutes so I put my rifle down and started eating again. As I started to eat again I heard the noise of breaking branches and this time it was loud and continuous and coming from my left, I quickly grabbed my rifle and as I looked to my left I saw the black bear about 50 yards to my left slowly walking on his hind legs,that’s when I realized black bears don’t walk that far on two legs, as I picked up my rifle and put the scope on the bear so I thought the head was showing a human looking ear I was so frightened and realized this is not bear all I can say is this happened so fast as it went out of sight I didn’t waste anytime getting out of there. I still to this day can’t believe what happened.
