This always cracks me up.

About 10 years ago my buddy Kenny, who was 6'4 and not scared of nuttin, and myself were out hunting and had turned a dog loose in a big patch of timber off an old gravel road .
It was late and had got deathly quiet and the coon were not moving very well.
After 15-20 minutes, our dog opens on a bad old track way to the east and opens occasionaly and finaly locates and trees.
I tell Kenny that theres another old road thattaway and I believe we could get closer, so off we go and sure enough when we get around to the other side we are a good bit closer,and we set off on foot to go to the dog.
We get there to find her treed on a big den tree but since it still had leaves on we started squalling and shining with dim lights, thinking it may be on the outside.
Im on one side of the tree closest to the truck and Kenny is on the oposite side, when I happen to notice a small dim light deep in the woods behind Kenny and it caught my eye because it was out of place. There were no houses or roads for a long way in that direction, so I watched it.
It would only stay on for 2 or 3 seconds and then be off for 10-15 seconds, but every time it came on it was closer.
Kenny is still blowin his squaller and looking for the coon totaly unaware that we have company comming from behind him. I just leave my light off and watch.
This goes on untill the last time i see the light it is no more than perhaps 20 feet behind him and then I never see it again.
Kenny has given up on finding the coon and comes to the tree, gets the dog, mumbles something about a den tree, hollars and asks me where im at cause ive got my light out, and walks over to me.
"who is that that walked in on us?" I asked him.
"Huh"
"Someone walked right in behind you over there" I told him"surely you seen it, heck it coulda tapped you on the shoulder".
He said"Schmucker, your crazy as he11,there is nobody over there"
I got my spotlight out and put it on the last place I had seen the light and when I did we see a figure step behind a big tree. So I just keep the spotlight on and walk over to the tree and this "thing" keeps moving around it to try and stay hid.
When I get right up to it, it is a full grown man in a alien/space monster costume,very realistic looking I mite add.lol
We try to talk to him, and ask him a few questions,but he refuses to say anything, he just stares at us.
Finaly I say, "well we gotta go" and away we went, and left him standing there, but I gotta say we kept looking over our shoulder and didnt waste any time getting the dog loaded and gettin outa there. lol
We drive a lil ways and neither one of us says a word, and finaly Kenny says, "Ill tell you one thing Schmucker, if that thing woulda said take me to your leader ,ida schitt my pants right there" rofl.
Absolutely a true story and I never did find out who it was or what he was doing out there, but I will never forget it.
