Midnight
LOCATION:
Vigo County, Indiana
TERRAIN:
Wooded slope above creek bottom
OBSERVED:
Myself and another boy went "camping". That was an excuse back then to
hang out with our friends and sneak into the local drive in movie. After
the movie we went to our camp which was a tent set in the woods behind
an abandoned pasture. We had a fire going with a reflector like they taught
us is scouts. We were setting down talking when I noticed sounds in the
woods below us. It became clear that a two legged something was walking
along the bottom of the hill moving west to east. As we listened it stopped.
I looked up and realized it could see the fire against the leaves above
us. It turned up hill and approach following the gully. The slope
kept the bottom of the gully in deep shadow and we were slightly blinded
by having the fire close to us. We could see nothing. What ever it was
came up the gully, which has steep sides, until it was in the shadow of
a large tree about ten to fifteen feet away. We had clearly heard the stead
steps of two legs in the leaves and ot paused behind the tree. I kicked
over the reflector to let more light out toward the gully. We called out
and got no answer. It then walked toward us staying behind the tree. It
stopped again and seemed to be directly behind the tree. Try as I might,
by stepping from side to side I could not see into the shadows behind that
tree. My friend and I decided that an exit was in order and left at as
high a rate of speed as we could muster. The next day we recovered
our tent but neither one of us wanted to look around for anything else.
