I don't know if a thread like this already exists somewhere and I may have been better served posting this in the WTF thread but I felt like it needed its own thread.
I was told a story Sunday night that, while not unexplainable, is certainly very weird and disturbing.
I was supposed to go on a fishing trip with a cousin of mine this past weekend. He's been more like my younger brother all my life than a cousin. Our plans were to leave work early Friday and drive the hour and twenty minutes or so to a lake that's in the middle of about 7,000 acres of state land nort of here.
Something came up at the last minute and I was unable to go so he decided to go ahead and go by himself. I woke up Sunday morning with a text from him that said, "Need to talk to you. Call me when you get a chance." I called him after lunch Sunday and he said he would come by.
Here's what he told me; he went up and fished a while Friday evening. He had the lake to himself as nobody else was camping. He cooked something on the smoker that night and went to bed early so he could get an early start in the morning. He had such a good day fishing Saturday (he called me and bragged about all the fun I was missing) that he decided to stay that night and fish again Sunday morning.
He was tired from fishing all day and went to bed early that night. He had been asleep a while when a noise woke him up. He assumed it was me, determined not to miss all the good fishing, coming up there to spend one night and get some fishing in the next day. He said he laid there for a bit and realized that whatever he had heard wasn't me because it was all quiet. He shrugged it off and was trying to go back to sleep when he heard a child's voice call out, "Mama!"
He said he sat straight up. He still thought that maybe somebody was mesing with him or maybe some other people had shown up to camp after he went to sleeep so he went outside his tent. All dark. Still nobody camping up there but him. He understandably started feeling a little creeped out and was trying to decide what to do. He heard it again. As spooked as he was, he worried that some child might have gotten lost from its family and he yelled out asking if the child was in trouble. No answer. He yelled that if it was lost he would help. Silence. Soem time went by and he didn't hear it again. He broke camp, packed up his truck and drove home in the middle of the night. He was noticeably agitated while he told me the story. Said he he called the ranger station that day and told the story worried that there might be some poor lost child up there. They said they would be on the look out but that he had been the only one up there camping that weekend.
Weird huh? I really don't think he was making this up. Not his style at all and like I said, he seemed really undone while telling me about it.
What do yall think? Am I being pranked? Anything weird ever happen to any of yall that you couldn't explain like that?
