Animal behaviour in Tennessee

The witness describes being in the bush on a stormy night when hair rose on his neck and a strong voice that was not his own invited him in his head to stay the night to meet them. He sensed two presences on a nearby hill, a prime adult male and a smaller young one, answered mentally that he was not ready, and felt the presence leave. He later asked a counselor about hearing voices and notes similar experiences three other times.
