Hunter hears sounds at night and smells during day near campsite
Account
The reporter was sleeping in a tent at a deer-hunting camp when they were awakened around 2am by the sound of wood snapping, followed by a loud knock like wood striking wood and something hitting the tent. They stayed in the tent with a rifle and heard nothing further. In the morning they found a broken pine cone on the tarp at the impact spot, with no overhanging trees or wind to explain it and no similar debris elsewhere in camp.
