Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Tree peeker ghouls

I used to hunt a place that had 7 people buried by the grove, they were marked by flags. An entire family during the Kansas Flu epidemic of 1918. Rumor was that they laid dead in the house for a few weeks before anyone was brave enough to go check on them. I never felt anything but respect and reverence at the resting place of an entire family. I shot a lot of birds there.

Bottle trees. To catch the bad spirits.

Once while hunting about 40-50 yds from an old grave on family property I got growled at by several somethings. I heard it/them as they came down off the steep part of the mountain 50 yds away to the bench I was on, but I never saw anything. The sounds came directly at me, and the grave 40-50yds behind me. " It" turned into them about 25yds out as they spread out and started to surround me in a semi circle as I clutched one of the prettiest 16 gauge Wingmaster on the planet. When "they" got to about 25-30 ft away in fairly open woods and I still hadn't seen what was growling at me from now 4-5 locations... I'd had enough, and beat feet out of there.
