I've walked out of the woods backwards pointing my rifle at whatever was following me before. It was probably a diller but I wasn't taking any chances.

I've told them here before, but here's a couple from Bankhead:
Ran across an almost new pair of women's pac boots sitting upright in the middle of nowhere with no one around... I looked around for evidence of anyone being there. Nothing.
Once walked into an area on a knoll between a fork in a creek. There were naked Barbie dolls, hanging from several bushes. Others were on the ground, headless. What kind of whack job does that?

Numerous deer drop in their tracks from being shot with a mere 6mm peashooter……I know it’s hard for some to fantom and I probably wouldn’t believe it either if I hadn’t personally witnessed it😊 Don’t be telling lies in this thread. We ain’t got time for that. 😁

I was up at the farm 10 years ago with my 9 and 10 year old stepsons. We go to bed around 10 pm. Around midnight I hear footsteps on the back porch. Now granted the old house is behind a gated fence and 3/4 of a mile from the nearest paved road. I get up .357 in hand. Slowly walk thru the kitchen. Throw open the door and know one is there. Next morning the 9 year old says someone is on the porch. Nothing again. Come to find out the screen door had a busted spring and the wind was blowing it against the hand rail on the steps. Sounded just like someone walking.

Ok. Y’all gonna have to get to know me but I got a sick sense of humor.
I was walking out of the woods one time a guy semi notices me I see him from afar.
When he notices me I stop behind a tree.
He yells hey
Me
Him hey
Me
Him starts walking away
I start walk to the truck
He stops again and again a tree between me and him
He yells hey
Me
He yells that’s F’D up man.
Me
I hear him start running to the truck
I cannot help it I start laughing
He don’t stop he starts running harder the more I laugh.
Sorry to who ever it was. By the time I got to the truck there was peel out marks in the gravel! lol.
Honestly when I started I thought it was my buddy who hunts the area also. It wasn’t. lol.

He probably told everyone he saw a ghost or bigfoot.

I saw a FL panther near Aripeka, FL ~1983-ish. I was ~15yr old, hunting from the ground and it made me nervous to sit there so I went back to the truck.
Was out gigging (mullet) one night. We stopped to get a snack & fuel up the generator so all of the lights were off (long before LEDs). It was quiet and calm. A manatee surfaced and blew right next to the john boat (~2-3 feet away) scared the crap out of us.

Ok I’ve never told this before
I was hunting maybe 25-30 years ago and I was by myself as I usually am
I was in this small holler about to come up a gently sloping ridge when I stopped to rest a few minutes
At that time I had alot on my mind and I started to pray about the situation
Out of the atmosphere, wind, area around me came this WOMP WOMP WOMP like a piece of this sheet metal was being shaken
It permeated the ground, the air and me
Guys I’ve had to rockets explode near me and heard bullets whistling by and have never been as afraid as I was this day in the woods
I can still walk exactly to the spot I was standing that day and I always remember that day
Seriously I thought time and space was about to rip open or a portal was about to be revealed and the Almighty was about to step out and talk to me
The only reaction I had was drop to my knees, bow my head and shut my eyes while shaking uncontrollably
All this sounds weird I know but if it didn’t happen then I’m not living and breathing

I was sitting on a food plot at daylight during turkey season and I heard a bird exit a limb. A peacock landed right in front of me!

I saw a red orb light walking out of the woods at my club in Barbour Co one night. I first thought it was a taillight on a ATV but no one was close by and there was no noise. Thought maybe it was a light on a game camera but I went back the next day and there was nothing there.

Not explaneable but.... Many years ago i was sitting on the porch at the cabin. Didn't have an inside toilet but an outhouse. Game warden was in it. Heard what I thought was dog barking. Walk around back. Tresspasser walking through the woods barking like a dog. They were having a man drive. Mid week. Thought no one would be there. Wrong. I took the bark off a tree about a foot over his head. Sucker hit the ground. Someone yells. "Get One?" Said hell no someone just shot at me. Warden comes out to ask what I'm shooting at. Said l should have let him catch him. Told him he wouldn’t be back
LUCK:::; When presistence, dedication, perspiration and preparation meet up with opportunity!!!

Bankhead, 2015, get out of truck, bad feeling hits me extremely hard telling me dont go down the trail, go home.i refuse to listen and push myself forward against all instincts.
3/4 mile down old logging road as I slowly stalk hunt i hear loud Asian language. Two of them arguing in the thicket beside me. I pause for a few minutes and it stops. I take a few more steps and they both start talking again so I freeze and they quit. I stand there for a few minutes and nothing. I'm hunting with a 30/06 and get the feeling these things are arguing about what to do with me. I start walking further and they start talking again. I freeze and call out to them and get no answer.
I turn around and went home. Shook me up real bad.it was so loud and deep and powerful. I got that feeling one day going to track a deer in Grant. Guy turned out to be a meth head whose dad was a lawyer and left him alot of money. He had supposedly shot a deer from his back porch. We'll we walked over the crest of a hill in the pasture to the point I could barely see the top of his roof. I told him this couldn't be right and he went off on me yelling and cussing. Eventually held him at gun point and had to tell him I was fixing to kill him. Man I was shook up bad. Ended up tracking for a game warden up the road from him a few years later and he told me some wild stories about that guy. He's in prison now for holding his girlfriend hostage, burning a couple houses and drugs

During an overnight hunting trip to Suggsville in Clarke county I heard a ghost walking up the stairs in our very old antebellum camp plain as day right behind my bed. I could hear its feet scuffing on the wood stair steps. The top floor was removed in the 1950s and the stairs led nowhere,

Walking a long straightaway road last November on my way into my stand in the pitch black in S Texas. Up ahead, way off in the distance, I see a shaky floating light suddenly appear moving left to right and disappear. Then another, and another, and another, then several large clusters of floating lights appearing and disappearing left to right. I have no clue what the heck they are but I continue on to my stand. A few bucks show up at daylight but look in my direction and tear out of there like they had seen a monster. Well, I had enough by then and wondered what the heck is going on. Then I get a text that border patrol is working a massive group of illegals in my area. It dawned on me finally what was going on. The road they were travelling passed right behind my stand at a right angle to the road I walked in on and the lights I saw in the dark were flashlights. The deer could see the illegals walking behind my stand after daylight.

Me and a friend were squirrel hunting behind our old neighborhood where we grew up (probably 10 or 11 yrs old at the time hunting with Benjamin .22 pellet rifles). Saw a squirrel climbing a tree and shot it. Walked over to it, picked it up, and noticed there was no blood or pellet hole in the squirrel. Checked the tree where it was when I shot and could see where the pellet hit the tree. Got home and we get to cleaning the squirrels...that one must have had a heart attack because there was no entrance or exit hole from the pellet, no blood, nothing to indicate that I had shot it. My uncle called that "barkin" a squirrel. Bullet hit the bark of the tree right next to it's head knocking a chunk loose and striking it's head at a few hundred fps. That's what he said anyway. I have no way of proving or disproving it though.

I've told it before, but it's funny what the mind will do to you. Walking out one evening after a bowhunt, climber on my back and bow in my hand, I kept hearing something behind me about 25-30 feet rustling leaves. When I stopped, it would stop. When I would walk, I could hear it. Shined my flashlight and nothing. This went on 7-8 times before I finally started trotting back to the truck to get the heck out of there. It got louder the faster I moved. It was then that I realized my pull up rope had fallen out of my pack and unraveled. I was dragging it and the carabiner was bouncing in the leaves as I was moving.
Ha!!....I got one similar. Walking into my stand one morning before daylight and saw a light at the top of the ridge where I was headed…..I hunkered down and started watching it thinking it was trespassers and deciding how I was gonna handle it, whether it was one person or a group, etc…..Well, they didn’t move….. they just sat there making zero noise with the light shining my way…..I was thinking “What are these folks doing?”….So, I kept watching and kept watching but they just kept standing there…..Finally I decided to go ahead and go confront them for trespassing……I started walking up the ridge toward them and hollered out….”Hey!!!....What are y’all doing in here!?!?”…….They still didn’t move, just kept shining their light at me……I hollered again……”Hey!!!.....Hey!!!!”…….. It was about that time that I had made it far enough up the ridge that I saw the culprit…..It was the moon just barely creeping up over the ridge top…  ….Yeah, I felt dumb that morning but couldn’t do nothing but just laugh at myself…….  Haha! Happened to me too one morning! I was in a climber and just about the time I got settled (it was still dark) I saw a light up in a tree about 50 yards away. It didn’t move and would occasionally blink. I thought someone was trespassing or a club member not signed in at the right place. Finally when the sun came up I realized it was a cell tower about a mile away and the blinking was just tree limbs moving in the wind and blocking the light! I felt pretty stupid.

I have no way of proving or disproving it though. Or the pellet passed through both ears. We had a hunter shoot at doe in our club years ago and another doe standing 10 yards behind her fell dead while she ran off. Turns out the bullet hit the target doe and we found her after a short blood trail. After looking over the other deer and finding no wound whatsoever, we concluded she must have had a heart attack. When we hung her up to clean her, a drop of blood dripped out of her ear. The bullet had fragmented and part of it went into the deer's ear. Luckily the hunter had two doe tags.

I've posted this here before and I wasn't going to go there again, but here goes. I know of a place deep in a hardwood bottom down an old grown up logging road, that makes me feel cold and I get a creepy feeling that I just cant explain. There are 10 or 12 vertical rocks scattered around the place. I shot a deer there once and as I was following the blood trail one evening after dark, I looked up ahead and saw a figure standing about 30yds away with what appeared to be a goats head in one hand. Yes, a goats head. He looked like he was wearing an old confederate cap and had a small suitcase in the other hand. I stopped there, kinda shocked for a minute. I looked away from my light to let my eyes adjust a little. When I looked back, he wasn't there anymore. I was wondering if I really had saw him or not. But as I proceeded on the blood trail, to my horror, the suitcase was still there. I walked up to it and stopped and looked around and listened for a long while. I didn't see or hear the man anymore. I slowly opened the suitcase and guess what was in it? Some of the same ole bullcrap I've been feeding you in this story.
