The guest describes years of activity around the family home bordering People's State Forest after starting peanut-butter gifting. He reports unscrewed lids left clean, wide human-shaped impressions, stick formations, an impaled tree, gibberish-like vocals, backyard conversation, roof footsteps, house slaps, whispered voices requesting honey, and tree-knock replies to prayers. On one food-drop walk he filmed a small form that rose from behind a log, showed shoulders and head without bear-like ears, ducked down, and withdrew low to the ground.
