If there's nothing out in the dark that's not out in the daytime, how do you describe nocturnal animals?

Anyone in South Carolina (or anyone who's been around here) had a run-in with Bingham's Light? Now that's scary and it ain't imaginary! Anyone can go and see it... gives me the creeps just thinking about it....

It's that time of year again....

Spooky

Back when I was 15 or 16... Before I had hounds I used to go to all the neighbors abandoned barns, corn cribs etc. and shoot coons. One night I backed my pickup up to an old garage with an attic window out and stood up on the tailgate to look in, and as soon as I stuck my head in the window a screech owl in the tree growing beside the garage let out a war whoop that would curl your hair! I screamed like a girl until I was in the truck, and maybe a quarter mile down the gravel road. LOL!!!!

This is not far from us...Our boys have gone here several times taking pictures of "orbs". They have lots of spooky tales about visits they have made here...Anyway, if ya have time check out this link..This place has some crazy folk lore about it...This would not be a place I would want to go round up my hounds near.

I don't know how scarey this is, but it is true. About forty years ago O.L. Beckham had a "trade days" that would last about a week; there would be thousands of dogs and hundreds of people from all over the U.S. My brother and I didn't trade dogs, but we hunted dogs through the Spring and Summer and sold them to people at Beckhams. Some were for their own use and others we sold to people who took them back east and sold them. We could get from $150 to $200 for a good hound, for a couple of kids in high school that was half your summers wages. Any way a fellow from around the area wanted to look at the "Speck" dog we had; we'd hunted him two years and he was a top hound. I went with him hunting that night we had Speck and a dog of his. We hunted some hills near the Arkansas line, had treed a couple of coon and were leading the dogs down to another "Holler" . We came upon a small dump sight out in the middle of no where and there was a "dead" Collie dog there; the guy I was with had to urinate and he did so all over the dead dog. Those hounds ha d smelled all over that dog from one end to the other too. We went on hunting and came back past the dump on our way back to the car. We got just exactly upon the dead Collie, and he stood up and stared at us. He was a little wobbly, but definitely on his feet. All sorts of things race through your head, was the dog sick, did he have rabies? We raced out of there and kept looking back to see if the Collie was following us.

The one thing that scared me the most was one night I was headed into my dog treed and stepped right in the mild of a covey of quail that were roosting. I guess because it was dark they held until I stepped in the mild, I don't know how many have ever heard a covey of quail flush but I can tell you they can really make some racket especially when you are standing in the middle of them.
