\nwhen i was about 14 my brothers and neighborhood friends of ours decided to go on a camping trip on\u00a0the edge of Warwick State Park in Royalston Massachusetts. we had fished earlier that day and had\u00a0caught a few brook trout so that we could “live off the land” that night. we got dropped off at the head\u00a0of the trail by one of our parents and we hiked a half hour up the trail. it is all up hill leading to a
\nclearing. we called it the “Land”. my Friend and i built a lean too and my brothers and there friends set\u00a0up a tent.we sat around the fire till late talking and cooked the fish. late that night we all dozed off . i\u00a0was in the lean to just in my sleeping bag and my friend was a few feet away.i woke up late that night\u00a0maybe early morning, to hear trees cracking. everyone woke up . you could here a grunt then trees\u00a0break and the most memorable for me was the ability to hear and feel stomping. this happened all\u00a0around us for maybe a hour or more.we were scared shitless! you would here it one minute then a pause\u00a0then here it again behind us. large branches braking some grunting then stomping.eventually it stopped\u00a0and we all stayed up completely scared.the next day our parents chalked it up as a moose. as a adult\u00a0now with lots of woods time under my belt there was no way it was a moose.
\nthis last fall i took my wife and kids to that area to show them the swamp at the base of that same
\nridge.we hiked for maybe 45 mins when we got off the trail to cross a swampy area to get to a rocky
\nsteep hillside.as we crossed my wife stops me and shushes me. we stop and clear as day we all hear a\u00a0long whistle.my wife was freaked out so we turned around and got back on the trail.as we hiked out we\u00a0looked over our shoulders all the way back to the car.\u00a0this is all one area that is remote except for the hiking trails and snowmobiles.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
