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.
