Hey Cliff, if you want to, PM me what happened... A couple buddies and I had a "personal experience" a few years ago, too.
I will say one thing -- until you've been to some of the truly remote places in this country, you literally can't imagine how wild it is and how few people are around. I know I couldn't until I experienced it myself.
No need. In 1975 when I was 15. My family lived in the small East Texas town of Campbell East of Grenville. My friends and I would ride our bikes miles out in the country then park them and go exploring.
Myself and a couple of friends were well out in the woods, miles from town. We were following a small creek it was about six feet from bank to bank.
I saw on the other side, a foot print in the mud. It looked like a bare foot only much larger. I was a big kid and it was half again as long as my boot. Now I estimate it at 16 inches long. We told our friends and our parents. Who thought we were crazy. But the next time we tried to find it, it was gone.
In around 1995 I was visiting my sister in Willisville Ar. Me and my brother in law were visiting a friend f his who lived in a very rural area. Now picture this. We were sitting outside a trailer he used as a deer camp. Directly in front of us the field slops downward to a tree line about 3/4 of a mile away.
It's just past dark when we hear some thing scream from the tree line. It was the most God awful sound I have heard. Then it's the sound of wood breaking and like it's being hit. We got in our trucks and left.
The next day we went back (armed). You could see where some thing had snapped a 3 inch branch off a tree about 8 feet off the ground. We found the branch about 100 feet out on the field between the tree and the trailer, as if it had been thrown.
So yes I do believe there's something out there.
