Family has possible encounter at Cedar Lake Equestrian Camp

A group of four campers spent the evening at an equestrian campsite beside the forest.

The shaking then stopped abruptly leaving the woods silent, frightening the group into dousing the fire and going inside. A next-morning search found no footprints or fallen limbs.

Hunters experience possible vocals, find nests, get screamed at over three-day hunting weekend north of Reydon
