One companion left for Alaska afterward and the guest never returned to the area.

Whoop in Georgia

As teenagers the witness and friends camped and hiked up a reputedly haunted mountain at night to look for a cabin.

The running camcorder captured the sounds and briefly illuminated two large almond-shaped red eyes that narrowed and turned away before the tree fell.
