Just had to bump this old thread, as it has been one of my favorite since coming to the Shroomery.

Check out this session of Coast to Coast on odd disappearances that I found on YouTube. Enjoy!

A lot happened during my time in the Boundary Waters and wow do I have some creepy wilderness tales to share now! The following stories happened on within the same 10 day trip on the south arm and main body of Knife Lake in northern MN. It's a very long section of water for people traveling by canoe (7 miles or so total I would estimate.)

1) On night 5 of the trip we reached the south arm from the lake to the southeast and settled into a campsite near Eddy falls. I was nestled into my hammock for the night with a tarp pulled over me like a blanket in case it were to rain. I was in a deep sleep and it must have been 2 or 3 am since it was still dark and the sun comes up at like 4:30 there. I awoke to  the sound of sobbing. It sounded like a woman and it was growing ever closer. then I heard the footsteps coming through the brush and trees toward our campsite. The noise entered the campsite on the side I was sleeping on and before long I could sense that whatever it was was standing right next to my hammock. I flung the tarp off half expecting a scared scout but instead my hand struck a rather solid body that then sprinted off into the dense forest. Startled, I awoke my crew and did a head count only to find that everyone was in their tents asleep. I waved it off as a bear encounter and went back to sleep.

2) The next day we moved to a campsite another 3 miles southwest down the lake and settled in once again. I was out gathering some firewood while the scouts cooked dinner. As I worked through the forest I heard a really strange primal sounding scream that made my muscles tense up and my hair stand on end. I involuntarily produced a strange whooping bark-like vocalization that I've never ever heard come out of my own body. This happened once more immediately after the first one. I was pretty shaken at this point, but stayed strong and calm when I got back to camp as any good guide would do.

3) The following day we decided to do something unconventional and go for a night paddle. We sat around camp all day and relaxed then at around 10:00 pm we left camp and kept heading southwest toward base camp. At about 1:00 am we came to the pinch of land separating Newfound Lake from Moose Lake. Here we had to cross through a relatively narrow passage of shallow water. At it's narrowest it's probably 25 yards from bank to bank. We were exactly at this point when out of the darkness of the right bank comes a flying rock. And I mean a fucking ROCK! This thing was very large to have made it the 15 yards from the bank to right in front of the fucking canoe. Either a world strongman threw that rock or something really big living in the woods did :shrug: The rock landed on a flat shoal next to us; a piece of  flat-topped granite about a foot under water. The rock was so large it still had a foot sticking out of the water and was too heavy to pick up from the canoe.


--------------------
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I cut straight through the forest, and that has made all the difference.

shit, all of those are spooky.
As much as I feel I'd love sleeping in a hammock like that, it's instances like that where I'd be totally messed up and not able to go back asleep. I'd just feel "exposed." Call me a baby, and I know it's not true, but that tent gives me some feeling of security, no matter how non existent it is!

I usually feel safer in the hammock, but I guess either way you're pretty exposed. I just feel like the the hammock is harder to spot because it's so small and you can set it up in the surrounding brush which keeps you from being in the open space of the campsite itself.
