I know this is off topic, however some of you go well of the beaten path. Have any of you seen anything while out that isn't easily explained. Feel free to dm me if you don't want to comment publicly. I am looking for bigfoot, apparitions or other weird sightings such as weird lights, either on the ground or in the air. I think you all get the idea. Thanks.

Hello, I havent seen anything while prospecting, except for wildlife acting real goofy. I was sluicing one hot summer day and decided to snipe down river so the easiest way was to drift down with the current. As im floating along with my hatted head sticking out of the water, I see im not alone. A deer swam right next to me with the current. I got to my location and swam out. It just kept going to the other side of the bank.

Other than my partner making all kinds of strange sounds when he's first waking up in the morning as he staggers through the tent flaps, nope.

Wait a minute, there was something quite strange that I saw late one night: I woke up in the tent, and I couldn't explain why I was alert. I could hear a faint rustling noise, so I flipped on my flashlight and took a look around. My partner was gently snoring across the wall tent from me (he usually snores at the decibel level strong enough to shatter plexiglass), and, without a word of a lie, there was a mouse right behind his head. But mice in a wall tent is nothing unusual, nor are packrats, or ugly spiders, or squirrels. . . .

What was freakin' unusual about this particular mouse is that he was standing on his hind legs. Well, I'm sure everyone has seen that too. But it's what he was doing with his front paws, his little mouse hands so to speak, that was exceptionally strange. And, I swear, in all the years I've been out prospecting I've never ever seen this before. That mouse was pulling hairs from the back of my partner's head! I could not look away. I was transfixed.

It was a first for me.

He'd gather a hair, then stuff it in his little mouse cheek, then harvest another hair.

All the while my partner was sound asleep, oblivious to the burglar in our midst. Finally the little rascal had stolen enough of what he'd come for, and he scurried out the corner of the tent.

When I told my partner about it the next morning, he would not believe me. It was just too unbelievable, but it happened, and I only wish I'd have had my video camera to document the event.

Strange, yes. Unexplained? I think not.

The little robber was only gathering soft hairs for a nest I believe.

Curious, yes. Once in a lifetime? Absolutely.

What you're looking for? Probably not.

On a different note, I've seen meteor showers that would take your breath away, way out in the wilds where there's absolutely zero light pollution, and I've heard lots of things go bump in the night, but I have a low-light device, and it's fairly easy to pick out the wildlife that's disturbing the peace.

I hope you find what you're looking for, because I do know what you're really looking for, and there are phenomenon that truly are unexplained, and I admire your courage for trying to get to explain the unexplained.

All the best,

Lanny

Back in my drinking days I once reached into a 12 pack and found it was empty. It was nothing out of the ordinary but was kinda distressing.

Back in my drinking days I once reached into a 12 pack and found it was empty. It was nothing out of the ordinary but was kinda distressing.

Up north, the camp was distressed when a black bear broke into the trailer and drank an entire 24 cans of beer. The bear passed out though, so it was worth it for him. Eventually he woke up, but he couldn't remember how he'd gotten in. (He was after all quite hammered.) So, being a bear, and being quite buff, he tore the door off the trailer and made his tipsy exit. It turns out he'd originally gone in through the window, but in the fog of 24 beers, he simply forgot.

I guess you can't blame him for forgetting, but the miners were quite sore for quite a while as the camp was to heck and gone from any source of beer replenishment.

Just one of the perils of mining, I guess.

All the best,

Lanny

I've seen objects in the sky, once during the day and several during one night that would leave you mumbling to yourself for a very long time. Do you know how frustrating/mentally challenging it is to be in a city of 200,000+ people, near an International Airport and AFB AND be the ONLY one who saw something for 15 minutes...in the sky...using binoculars and seeing everything in great detail? Then years before that...at night...brilliant white spears numbering between 7 and 10...traveling at amazing speeds with incredible maneuvers...over the desert...casting shadows on the frozen sagebrush below them...chasing each other (almost playing) with some finally racing towards us on the interstate...raising the hair on my neck only to watch them do a 90 degree turn straight up and vanish as quick as they appeared. (My then wife refused to speak of this afterwards and if I coaxed, she would say if it was anything...it was something the nearby AF Base was doing).

I've seen Northern Lights directly overhead that seemed to open a circling vortex over me then bathe me in a circle of light...leaving me feeling like I was looking directly into the soul of God. I've chased odors as stank as sewage and as sweet as perfume all in the same trailer and in the same minute....drapes newly installed crushed to one side of the window. A young girl glowing...sitting on a bridge wearing a long shimmery white night gown in the middle of now-where and even though I watched her until we turned around...she vanished anyway.

I'm a very right-sided prove-it-to me kind of guy and all of this happened during times of my life when I was completely straight. Straight enough to remember each and every event for the rest of my life. In my book, seeing really IS believing.

Wow Jeff, that was really interesting.

I'm with Jeff nearly word for word!

Lights in the sky just as he described, in Alaska and Maine.
Once owned a 200+ year old house where an old guy in a wool plad coat would knock on the door and not be there when I opened it... A shadow of a cat that drove my dogs nuts [didn't exist but I saw it], and a little girl either playing or running down the staircase... we heard her & saw her. My daughters talked with her often, though she wasn't really there.

Science was once thought to be magic. What we cannot fathom today, will be laughable tomorrow. And the more we think we learn, the more narrow minded we become.
