Rock throwing near Wharton, Pennsylvania
Account
The witness and five companions hiked four to five miles off trail in Elk State Forest and camped in a mountain clearing for what was meant to be a week-long trip. After dark, rocks were tossed at them from the surrounding woods from more than one direction, followed by hours of circling heavy footsteps and crashing brush that they could hear but not see despite using bright flashlights. The group remained awake and armed until just before dawn when the sounds left in opposite directions. In daylight they found a beaten circling path and a deep flat human-like barefoot print, then packed out the same day and cut the trip short.
