The US resident loved to go on forest hikes alone, but recently he ran into a group of strange people at night in a clearing
Reddit user "ricey125" reports. He lives somewhere in the USA. The exact location of the incident has not been reported.
“It happened a while ago when I went hiking in the woods alone.
I've always loved this way of camping and find something calm and sobering about being in near complete isolation from civilization in the wilderness.
I took a backpack with all the necessary things and a rifle (for protection from predators), and then got into my truck and drove into the forest. I usually get up on the route early in the morning and then follow the trail for at least 15-20 miles before finding a suitable camp site.
This time everything turned out exactly the same, and after a while I stumbled upon a suitable empty clearing and pitched my tent there. It was a beautiful place, surrounded by a straight line of trees, where you could collect brushwood and light a fire.
I set up my tent just near the edge of the trees and lit my fire there. I settled down and had time to fry small sausages when I heard this strange quiet noise in the forest.
This noise spread throughout the forest around, and it sounded as if a large wounded deer was walking along a bed of leaves and dragging a leg strongly. That is, the noise of dragging something heavy was heard.
I thought that the poor deer was very unlucky, but I did not get up and go there in order to interrupt his suffering with a rifle. It was already very late and it was getting dark quickly.
When it got completely dark, I lay down in my sleeping bag, but for some reason I could not sleep. So I lay down next to the fire, took out the book I had taken with me, and decided to read a little.
A couple of hours passed and I again heard this strange dragging sound. This time he was much closer to me and walked from the opposite side of the clearing. The sound was so close that I put the book down and began to peer into the darkness, trying to see something.
Judging by the sound, the deer was approaching me and was getting closer and closer. Now he seemed to be already in the middle of the clearing and I listened cautiously in that direction. Strange, but apart from this noise, I heard nothing else, there were no animal sounds, including the sounds of his breathing. Then all the sounds stopped.
I moved into the tent and continued to listen to the darkness. Nothing. You can only hear the crickets chirping and the wind blowing, nothing more unusual. What the hell? I thought. Then I sat for a while and again listened to the darkness and again it was very quiet.
Little by little I calmed down, and besides, I had a rifle in my hands. I was already starting to doze when I heard sounds again. Now it was a man's laugh at a small distance from me on the right side, and then on the left side I heard a woman's laugh and a sound like a branch crunching.
At first I tried to figure out if it all seemed to me half asleep or if it was real. But now I heard the sounds of voices more and more clearly, and there were not only women and men, but the voices of children and the elderly. And they walked from all sides.
It was a dead night, and therefore I guessed that it was not just some ordinary family who was also traveling nearby. I jumped to my feet, looked out of the tent and prepared my rifle to fire a warning shot upward at any moment if these people got too close to me.
And then everything fell silent again. Again there was the deadly total silence of the night. And even there was no wind at all. In this silence, I clearly discerned the loud whispering of two people very close to my tent. I listened, but could not make out what they were talking about, it seems there was something about them getting lost.
When I heard this word, I shouted loudly in that direction "Hey! Who is there ?!", and then "Are you lost ?!" and again "Who is there ?!". The whisper was immediately silenced, and then suddenly a huge explosion of bright flame erupted from the middle of the clearing. He was so strong that in a couple of moments he managed to illuminate the silhouettes of a group of people who stood around him.
Shocked by what I saw, I made a hole in my tent in the back and fired a rifle at it, after which the light from the fire disappeared and it became dark again. I ran out of the tent and looked over to where the trail of the fire was visible. After that, I threw all my belongings and ran to my car, constantly looking over my shoulder.
I didn't see anyone, but I had a very clear feeling that I was being watched all this time. I left all my things there in the forest, without returning later for them. And after that I lost the slightest desire to go hiking again.
PS. Later, I deliberately looked at local news stories, because I could kill someone with my own shot. But nothing similar was reported there."
According to the author of this story and many commentators, he probably encountered some kind of alienated cult, possibly Satanists or a sect.

Unusual Hiking Incidents
In August 1989, a group of students - two boys and two girls - made a hiking trip in the Pamir mountains. In the Tutek Gorge, tourists stopped for the night on the bank of a mountain river that flowed there.

Surviving Alone: Stories Of The Robinsons
It is widely known that the English writer Daniel Defoe (circa 1660-1731), the author of the novel about Robinson Crusoe, did not invent the story of his hero. The prototype of the latter was a Scottish sailor, boatswain of the English ship "Five Ports" Alexander Selkirk, who lived alone on the island of Masa Tierra for 1580 days, or 4 years and 4 months (from 1705 to 1709). However, not many people know that A. Selkirka was a predecessor who, more than half a century earlier, managed to live on a barren piece of land
