While ascending a tree using a climbing treestand I began to hear something approaching. It was
stomping one foot and stepping normally with the other. It continued this until it got to where I had
came through. It had stopped at my trail. At that point it was dead quiet. I tried to shine my light in that direction but the light would not penetrate that far. I whistled to try to see who was there. At this point it was about 60 yards away. All of a sudden whatever it was started back where it came from while stomping one foot and stepping normally with the other. There were not a lot of branches breaking either. The trees it had come through were pine trees while all the other trees around were hardwoods. I was pretty scared at that point and thought someone was playing a joke on me or trying to scare me.
Alltogether I thought the experience was very strange.
I sent out an email to the witness (Greg ), on this past weekend ( 5-13-2012 ) and received a reply on Tuesday ( 5-15-2012 ). He was quite pleased and surprised, he actually got a reply from NESRA.. so quickly. He had submitted a report with the BFRO (first), and has yet to get a reply. He stated that the “Finding Bigfoot” series got him interested enough, to want to submit his report. He described the incident in more detail, in his email to me. As well as something “stomping” on the game trail at around 5 AM while still dark out, there was an large object tossed his way.. what he thinks was a either a rock or piece of heavy wood, by the sound of it crashing through the trees. He told me, he considered it being a meteor or something natural..more than another human (or creature) being out there at that hour, and throwing something his way. The only thing that presently has me questioning this incident.. is the conflict in the year that this incident happened. In the report, he states it was 1995. When he emailed his response and further details.. he told me he thought it happened in 2002. I have suggested, that we meet sometime for breakfast, and strongly hinted… that I would like to see the area and location this incident happened. At that time (or in future email conversations), I am going to ask him.. again, about the year it happened (casually) and note any reaction (or confusion). Will follow up further, as things hopefully develop. After a few email exchanges with the witness (Greg) .. he is not interested at this time, in meeting with me, or taking me to the location, and told me he will consider it fore the future. He
has agreed to stay in touch, and I encouraged him to join the NESRA forum. That is about all I can really do, at this time… regarding this report.
