In case anyone here hasn't happened to see it, there's a very interesting thread on the Soapbox about "the creepiest thing that ever happened to you." rouge started it, but these stories are particularly intriguing to me, so I'm just advertising for it...

I am in the middle of nowhere on my mountain bike on an old logging road. I come up on a long straight stretch and I see several deer running across the road like crazy. As I get closer to where the deer crossed I hear what sounds likes trees falling over. What I saw stopped me in my tracks. Thank God it just keep going after the deer and paid me no attention. Below is the closest thing I could find that looked almost exactly like what I saw. I had my cell phone with me but for one I would not have had time to take a picture and second all I wanted to do was get the heck out of there.

When I was a boy scout around 12 or 13 we had a camp out at a large scout camp near a lake area. After we had set up our tents the weather turned bad and there was rain and lightning. Back then I would sometimes walk in my sleep and wake up in other rooms of our house. It would be odd but thankfully never dangerous or scary. That was about to change.
There were 2 scouts to each tent and after we had eaten under a pavilion and did the obligatory ghost stories we all ran back to our tents through the drizzle and settled in. The last thing I remembered before I fell asleep was my tentmate saying he hoped he wouldn't have to go pee because it was so dark and scary and if he went into the woods he might get hit by lightning.
I woke up an undetermined amount of time later sitting in pitch blackness OUTSIDE with no moon or stars. I was wearing the sweatpants and t shirt I went to sleep in but also had my shoes on. The rain had stopped but it was windy and I was damp and cold. When the occasional lightning lit up the blackness I realized I had walked in my sleep and had been sitting down leaning against a tree. I had no idea where our camp was and there were no lights to be seen anywhere. I was scared but not panicked and figured I would look around each time the sky lit up and eventually recognize something and if not I would start yelling for help. I stood up and readied myself when I heard some movement through the trees.
Sure enough seconds later the sky kit up and I could see bushes moving so I called out but the movement stopped. I called out again in the darkness but no answer. Less than a minute later lightning lit the area again like daylight and maybe 50 feet away standing at the edge of a clearing next to more trees was a large figure wearing a full length rain coat with a hood covering his or it's head. The figure seemed to be looking right at me but was just standing there. He was standing far enough away from the tree line for me to tell it was definitely a person. Not a bush or an animal or tree. I could see pants and boots and a rain slicker with a hood as clear as if it was a well lit room.
I screamed something but was too scared and disoriented to do anything else. Suddenly it was pitch black again. I started moving in the opposite direction from where I had seen the figure feeling my way through the woods.When the lightning lit up the sky again I looked back to the clearing and caught a glimpse of the figure passing the tree I had woke up next to.
In full panic mode I ran at full speed through the trees and briars and bushes. Sometimes falling and crawling and every few minutes stopping to listen and wait for the inevitable lightning flash to help me see. I thought I could hear movement behind me but it may have been the wind and I didn't see anyone behind me. After what felt like hours but was probably only minutes I saw a figure in front of me and I froze unable to move. I heard someone call my name and realized it was one of the scouts in my troop, I ran up to him and after he finished peeing he led me back to our tents using his flashlight.
I went to my tent and wrapped up in my sleeping bag and went to sleep. The next morning I told everyone what happened and asked my tentmate if he knew I left. He said he woke up as I was unzipping the tent and he had asked if I wanted him to go with me and I just grunted so he went back to sleep. Being scouts we searched the area and found what may have been where I was. There were lots of footprints in the mud which told us nothing. The scoutmasters searched and inquired if any other troops or people had reserved the use of the camp and was told we were the only ones there.
My scrapes and cuts were seen to and it was suggested when I told my parents I try and be calm or we would never be allowed to camp out again or at least I wouldn't. Some of the troop thought I may have just dreamed the whole thing or mistook bushes for what was clearly a large man lurking in a boy scout camp during a bad storm. Most were as freaked out as I was. My mom was angry and ripped the adults on the outing new assholes but ended up having to calm down my dad after he slammed the scoutmaster hard against his new SUV several times putting a nice dent into it.
I never went back to that particular scout camp again and always tied one foot to something heavy in my tent when I went camping after that. I still think about what happened and will always wonder who that was in the woods and if they were playing a mean spirited prank or actually meant to do me harm. I even wonder if it was something not quite human. I doubt I will ever know.
Pleasant dreams everyone.

Hey Poelzig,
I was a boy scout too and have a similar story although not as elaborate. I remember working on my wilderness survival badge and I was the only kid that didn't get a partner so I had to camp out in a homemade tent made out of vines and branches. All through the night I kept hearing twigs snapping as if someone or something was walking around in the woods. I was petrified for hours when I finally dozed off for what seemed like only 5 minutes. When I woke up, I was outside the shelter exposed to the elements. I had camped many times before and I had never had that happen or had any history of sleep walking. The counselor joked about it and said I shouldn't get the badge since I technically didn't sleep in the shelter. Poelzig, was the camp site by any chance named Bear Creek?
Another freaky thing that happened to me just yesterday ... my doorbell rings and I hear someone jiggling the door handle as if they are trying to get in. I assume it's my mother since she is the only one that would do that, but when I answer my door I find two small kids standing there no older than 10 yrs old. They looked like the kids from Village of the Damned with their long golden locks and green-yellowish eyes. They asked if I wanted to buy a used speaker which looked like a toy and an Xbox game. I told them no so they walk off and around the bend. I then go outside to see where they went and they were gone. They just vanished in broad daylight. Freaky!

Someone knocked on my door at 1 am and then tried the door knob. My bedroom was only a few feet from the door and it was in the back of the house--so they came around the back of the house and knocked on the door then tried the lock.
I didnt sleep the rest of the night.

to this day I am not sure how this happened: my boyfriend at that time and I were sitting on a couch, watching tv together for several hours, at least two hours without a break. Once the tv was over, we got up and were walking to the bedroom. As we were getting closer to the bedroom we smelled what we identified as a leaking gas. We looked at the gas oven/stove and two out of the four knobs that turn the gas on were half way turned and the gas was leaking (no flame).
Now the really odd thing was: neither of us cooked on the stove that day, or was even close to it. The couch we sat on is in the same room as the stove, and no further than 6 feet away from it. Nobody else lived in the apartment, nobody else had keys that we knew of, and furthermore, we had cctv camera pointed at the door and it didnt show anyone entering the flat while we were watching tv.
The only "rational" explanation we came up with was that one of us must have "turned the knobs unintentionally" while doing something else?? How crazy is that though? Both knobs? Without realizing what we were doing? and when, since we were both on the couch the whole time? I want to also add that we are both fairly sane people who certainly didnt want to die and would never pull pranks like this on each other. We were both genuinly freaked out…

It was Bert Adams Boy Scout Camp.

I thwarted a group kidnapping when I was 8. And you haven't really lived until you've been shot at.
EDIT: I should be clear, I wasn't shot at during the kidnapping thing.

Though, my guess is he wanted to trade a paperback for my ass, and I don't think that's a fair trade.

that depends on the quality of the paperback vs the quality of the ass…. see.. a first edition Dostojevsky could be a true treasure. Not just any ass would measure up to it… anyway, back to the weirdest things happening to people…
