floydisgod can your friend describe the person any better? What state do you live in?

"... I sauntered about from rock to rock, from grove to grove, from stream to stream, and whenever I met a new plant I would sit down beside it for a minute or a day, to make its acquaintance, hear what it had to tell. I asked the boulders where they had been and whither they were going, and when night found me, there I camped. I took no more heed to save time or to make haste than did the trees or the stars. This is true freedom, a good, practical sort of immortality."

Alright, so a coupla years ago me and a friend were growing weed in some woods near my house. These woods are right next to an old church/commune/whatever, dating back to the 1800s, we didn't know this at the time. anyways...
So one night at around 1:30 my buddy calls me up seeing if i want to smoke a pipe. So we meet up and decide to walk down to where the plant is and smoke. So we finish smoking and chillin and decide to head out. Well we're about a half mile in the woods, off the street, and stoned at probably 2 in the morning so this took a little while lol.
When we're about 50 feet from the road we stop and see if we see any car lights are approaching. We didn't see anyone coming, or hear anything, and just as we're about to start walking again we hear something heavy land on the ground a little off the trail. We both freeze, fear crippled us. We both look at each other and shrug, thinking a branch must have fallen out of a tree or something. So we go to start walking again, and right as we're going to take our first step, something lands right at my fuckin feet. I don't know what the fuck it was, or where the fuck it came from, but we got the hell out of those woods real quick.
The next day I meet up with my buddy and he tells me that he saw something that looked like a person in the woods the night before. But when he looked again it was gone. I don't know if i believe him or not, but we looked up the area in the town hall and found out that the guy that built the place back in the day thought he was a reincarnation of christ or some shit and tortured and raped a bunch of his followers. Fucked up shit.
But every time I've been back in those woods at night I've heard a bunch of noises, like shit walking around and almost growl like noises.
Could be coyotes, could be nothing, but the vibe of the place is definitely eerie
Waw awesome story dude

I was hiking in to the Daniel Boon National Forest late at night -- about a half-mile in I hear and feel what sounds like a fingernail scraping against my backpack. I fuckin stop -- look off to my side and a little behind me and there is this guy standing off the trail and he says, "So sorry dude, I thought you were my friend."

damn, we need some more legit stories. the last one was a little trollish.
--------------------
"We are all intoxicated. We were born into an insane asylum, a world crazy-making. We believe what we see and hear. The real myth is the myth of sanity, of rationality: it's a disease that is eating away at the earth. All the poisons flow from our denial. We deny madness, we forget our crimes, we dismember the corpse, we imprison our children. We need poison to poison the poison, to remember the sacred nature of intoxication, the green body of the young god." ~ Dale Pendell

Okay.
I moved to Oregon with my soon to be wife and her 1/2 pit 1/4 Aussie Shepperd 1/4 Dingo. We moved in with my brother in law. Hos Pitbull hated and wanted to kill our dog. Well at least the feeling was mutual.
 RIP
So we kept them apart for some many weeks. Well one day they locked up and when they went for each other it was dead silent, meaning... shit is serious.
Well, we all managed to get them separated. Later that day the wife and I said lets go camping, decompress and have fun at the river.
All was fine until about 10pm. We think there must have been some dried blood on our boy still since we started getting circled by mountain lion.
Well we didn't realize it until ma lady went of a few feet to pee, at which point she said, "baby, something is wrong.... no something is out here!"
So we husdled up near the fire and watched our dog track in a 360 degree circle over and over something that made nary a sound except for the very occasional snap.
Now I must say, my wife and her dog grew up in the woods. This dog treed a mountain lion. They are both very aware of the outdoors due to life experience living in the mountains of the Sierra Nevadas and the surrounding Foothills.
In any case this thing did not leave us. Well after an hour we said fuck it. We broke camp in minutes. Forever lost a pipe 
Then we tried to drive this peice of crap ford escort out and it could not get up and over the loose dirt and shit. I had to get out with a fucking Vietnam War shovel and pick at the ground to get out.
In hind sight I probably was a lot safer than I thought I was picking at the ground, but sitting around the camp fire was freaky as shit as it did not leave us alone. Circling like a fucking shark smelling blood.
We had one near the coast do the same but it didn't stay ling. Still Mountain lions are fucking creepy. They are all over around here.
Where my wife and her brother where riding there horses last summer they found bear strength pepper spray with teeth marks in it.  I tried to save it to get pics but bro in law trashed it.
My wife and her brother have some crazy ass stories.... Shit that most peeps won't beleive but it aint no joke. Thin spots kind of things. I think around moody ridge in the Sierra Nevadas. They also found some crazy ass ghost town in Washington, that also includes mom. Just weird shit.
Had another time we got stuck up in the Sierra Nevadas for a night. It had to be big wild animals that made our dog growl for most of the night. Sure was some creepy hours. Could never see anything but that dog sure was warning something to stay the fuck away.
Nowadays I like to camp with a pistol and a shotgun. Pots and pan are good to.
Oh, and BTW our boy died of a tumor in his spine some years back

Thanks,
He was, had his issues, mostly protective(would have killed to protect my wife). Either living near the tracks homeless, or out in the middle of no where in the woods for most of his life. Never really acclimated back to city living which made it a bit tough but you could not ask for a better camping dog. Still can't talk about him and not tear up. My wife had him since he fit in her palm.
Our new dog just kind of alerts and wants to go to sleep in the tent after 9 oclock  . Half the time I think it is just a chipmunk. Oh well would rather have an alert dog than a gonna chase it down dog.

This is a true story -- anyone who lives in southern Ohio Cincy-area or N KY can tell you that the Daniel Boone National Forest is packed on the weekend with everyone arriving at Friday night after work. It was a guy who had gone ahead on the trail from the parking lot to spook his friends. Sorry if you got the impression it was an axe murderer. Nonetheless, hearing that scraping sound is the [creepiest woods experience I have had.

well this experience was not exactly in the woods but rather in the country...
So I went to look for magic mushrooms in this little town I know... it was early in the season and I know were to look for p. mexicana... wich is the first magic mushroom to start fruiting in the meadows.... so I started munching on the mushies as I found them... soon I was tripping.
the day was sunny... so I decided to lie down on a shadow of a tree, I remained there for like 2 or 3 hours, feeling the mushrooms... then all of a sudden i hear a rumble only to open my eyes and find out that I have a visitor watching me... it was a horse that was getting curious... so I stood and the horse ran...
and all of a sudden a big thunder roars and lightning sparks the area... the sun had dissapeared and looked like a storm was coming, I was still tripping so I didnt cared about the rain soon to come and walked up a meadow i havent visited before.... then I find one big big mushroom and picked it, just as i was going to pick the mush, another great thunder is heard, and i look backwards to see a big cross buried in the ground as if they had buried someone there.... there was also this creepy looking dried up tree full with vultures staring at me to the other side of the cross
I considered it was time to leave... I left the big mushroom were it was... probably it was a bad omen if I took it... who knows what kind of spirits might have dwelled in that mush should i have ate it....
I know that the psilocybin factor was present but i got kinda scared hehe

Me and my g/f were visiting a friend in Crescent City and on the last night decided to spend the evening at a secluded campsite in the redwoods and take the acid we were saving. We settled on a neat little bush hideaway called Panther Flat.
Arrived there late in the afternoon a few hours before sunset and sorted out the tent and what little firewood we had. Despite the signs warning about black bears, we weren't too worried since it was mid winter. Munched our tabs and took a little stroll down to the river before darkness set in.
When we got back we were starting to come up, while the place was slowly getting darker. As it got darker, the wind seemed to pick up a little bit and along with this creepy semi consistant groaning and howling/whine that would wrap around us. At first we thought it was the cars on the highway since the road winding through the forest wraps around the park, but it was actually the noise of the wind blowing through the red woods.
Thankfully we're both able to deal with fairly fucked up things on trips, so nothing got too hairy, but that noise was surreal and extremely loud. Still gives me the shivers thinking back.

True story.
I used to work in wilderness therapy. We used to listen to the "Nightwalkers" pace laps around the tent/tipi at night. Regular, human paced footsteps, walking round, and round the shelter all night. No tracks to confirm it, just the sound. Really regular reports. All in eastern oregon. We found out later that there was a Shoshone burial ground close by.
I have extensive experience, living and teaching in the backcountry of eastern Oregon, and there are places out there that I WILL NOT camp out in.

Definately. Sacred sites, burial grounds etc you can expect a bit of activity - just hope they don't pay attention to you. I've seen even the most skeptical people shit themselves when they get a finger scratch all down their tent and they jump up and nobody is there.

Dont sweat it. Those areas are pretty small and very localized. For eastern OR, dont miss Glass Butte, or the hot springs at Alkali Lake. Both are
