Account
The witness split up from the guest's father while hunting and walked alone into a meadow to wait. In the center he felt a growing burning sensation that traveled up his spine, followed by intense panic, heightened senses, and total silence for about 45 minutes. He walked in circles watching for a threat until the father appeared, then they left camp that night after the witness was seen sleepwalking and throwing a spare tire.
