Unusual events at remote family cabin near Keene Valley, NY

2002–2003 around 9:30 pm at night Keene Valley, Essex County, New York 1 witness

Account

Late at night in fall 2003 the witness walked about 25 feet from the remote cabin to the tree line to relieve himself. He heard very loud heavy stomping or bounding from about 25 yards away at the base of a hillside that shook the ground and stopped after a few seconds when he turned toward it. He saw nothing further, felt uneasy, and went back inside and locked the cabin.
