Brother called, extremely freaked out.

[ThomR]

A little back story about my brother. My brother spends more time in the woods either hunting, scouting hunting areas, and training beagles than anyone I have ever known. I've never known by brother to be a liar. Quite the opposite in fact, he can't stand liars and gets pretty mad when someone has lied to him.

So I just got off the phone with him a few minutes ago. He told me that he took some of his dogs out about 6pm to let them run some rabbits in preparation for the upcoming season. He has a younger friend that will sometimes bring his dogs and run them with my brothers dogs. His friend puts bells on his dogs collars so he can hear them if they aren't barking.
So my brother is out by himself, it gets dark and he hears what sounds like the bells on his friends dogs. He kind of gets a little freaked out, but sort of ignores it and lets his dogs keep running.
A little while later he is just king of hanging out listening to his dogs running and sees this big cedar tree start lighting up like someone is shining a big spotlight at it. So naturally he looks around to see if he can see where the light is coming from and can't find a source. He looks back at the tree and says that it was getting so bright that it was like staring directly into a spotlight at night. He said that it took a few seconds after he looked away before he could see anything because it was so bright.
At this point he decides he is going to catch his dogs and start heading back to my grandmothers land where his truck is parked. As he is making his way through the small patch of trees to get there he said he heard what sounded like someone breathing right by him.
This is not the first time he has had something like this happen out in the woods, or in this specific area. We have come to understand that the area around my grandmothers land was a heavily populated Native American area.

Hahahaha! That's another story for another day.

[Lloyd Smale]

I sure cant say what it was for sure but maybe someone didn't want him there and was trying to scare him out of the area that they hunt.

Methane spontaneously igniting. I have seen it in the swamps down here.

I have seen some weird stuff before that nobody would believe me if I told them

[bedbugbilly]

As an old man once told me . . . "we spend hours trying to explain things we do not understand . . and maybe are not meant to understand."

I was hunting in the SD black-hills And saw some strange things made the hair on the back of my neck stand up I got out of there as quick
as i could never went back to that part of the woods the things that i saw were not supernatural but more like a cult

Over the years there have been things that could not be explained. The Bermuda Triangle comes to mind. It would be interesting to know about your Brothers experience but we may never know.

Just yesterday my Wife and I were sitting in our den. Each of us was entertaining ourselves, playing on our phones, computers, reading, ect. Out of the blue our antique wind up clock clock chimed twice! We have not wound it in years. It was always really pleasant to hear it tic tok and chime but we quit using it because there is no one left around here that can repair it. Her Mom recently passed away, we have not even had the funeral yet, and She thinks her Mom was saying Hi! Who knows? It made her feel good, so ok!

We will never understand all there is to understand, on this side of the dirt. Just smile and give thanks to our creator for letting you see more then most ever will.

I once had a little beagle I thought was possessed. Maybe your brother bought a distant cousin of my little ball of satan.....good luck keeping him out of porcupines.

Back in the 1950`s - 1960`s time frame an elderly lady friend of my Mother told her something that makes sense today. The lady`s Son was an Air Force bird Colonel. He had usually either wrote her or called about every other week or so. It went nearly a year before he just showed up at her door, now he had a star on his epulets. He couldn`t talk about anything he had been doing in the Air Force. All he could say was that there was much more to `Project Blue Book` than the public would ever know. The lady didn`t understand what that meant which is why she was telling my Mother.Robert

My dad was state side after serving 2 tours of Vietnam . He was at a special base that he said had every kind of germ and diseases known to man . What was weird some of the stuff he seen he would never say but he said it would make the Star Wars movie fake

[RED BEAR]

i will never discount any story out of hand. there are some harder to go with than others . but i have always said and believe YOU JUST NEVER KNOW!!!

[ThomR]

I have never witnessed anything that could be described as supernatural. My brother and mother on the other hand seem to be more susceptible to experiencing weird stuff.

About a year and a half after my Dad died I had a pretty serious heart attack, 10 days in the hospital and three months off work. while recuperating at home I began to smell cigarette smoke. It followed me everywhere, on walks, in the truck, in the house, everywhere! I didn't mention it to my wife. She was worried about me enough without thinking I was going bonkers too. Finally I couldn't take it anymore without asking if she was smelling it as well. No was her response but my Mom had been getting it from time to time. My Dad was a lifelong smoker. It's been six years since I lost Dad and the smell of cigarette smoke still comes and goes but not as often. I sure miss him.

Guy is taking a short cut through the cemetery when 3 young girls ask if he would walk with them, they were a bit frightened. He said he was too, when he was living.
Truthfully, mother in law repeated an incident she had, heard marbles rolling on the floor and bouncing down the basement stairs. Never found any marbles in the house/basement . She looked at me funny when I said she lost her marbles.

Well, last Thanksgiving time Lori an I were visiting some friends on Hilton Head Island. We decided to go to Savannah and ended up at Bonaventure Cemetery. We wandered about and got to the end of one road and were looking at a huge monument. The wind was blowing in, off of the river,and there were no flowering plants in late November. Lori's friend mentioned she smelled magnolias, but just in one spot. One step left, right or backwards and there was no fragrance at all. There were no people around, and as mentioned, a breeze coming into out faces from the river. I looked for perhaps a broken perfume bottle in the corner shrubbery, but there wasn't any. I tried to see if I could smell it, and sure enough, it was in that one spot only. One step in either direction and the fragrance was gone. We called our friend's Husband, who was busy taking pictures of all of the massive and intricate monuments. He didn't believe until he tried it, and looked somewhat stunned when it happened to him.
I dunno what caused it, but it was eerie at best....

If you have never been in a particular spot where you feel all nature is telling you to leave NOW, you can't understand that feeling. If you have, it is easily recognizable.
For me there was no odors of cougar, bear predator or game just a strong sense of get out. I was 12 and didn't want to look bad in front of my friends but then the oldest said "This place gives me the creeps, let's get out of here". Far back in the woods, away from roads or buildings.
