Class B First-hand BFRO #23211

Possible camp stalking at Glade Run Pond, Monon. Nat. Forest

12 July 1985 around 9 or 10 PM Richwood, Webster County, West Virginia 2 witnesses

Account

Two companions were camped for bass fishing at a remote pond in the national forest when they heard loud repeated whooping calls, first from up the mountain and later from less than 50 feet behind their tent. They remained still in the tent while the close calls continued for several minutes before silence returned. In the morning they found their fuel can neatly covered with stacked stones and a stringered fish missing, which they attributed to the unseen caller.
