Storytime, /x/
I read plenty of stories about skinwalkers, fleshgaits, goatmen, whatever you want to call them. None of them really spooked me very much and it's pretty clear that they're mostly made up. Basically a bunch of retards saying 'I smelled blood and pennies and then the woods went silent and then we saw a spoooooky man with long limbs and he made big scream noise!!!!' That being said, I've had a couple strange experiences myself. Nothing with off-the-charts action like a lot of stories on this board, but some things that make me reconsider living in remote areas. Let me tell you about one of them.
I went camping with two of my buddies about seven years back. We were backpacking out in the mountainous woods of Montana. Every day we would wake up, hike until about noon, and then find a place to camp for the night and spend the rest of the daylight hours fishing or shooting cans with a BB gun (all of us brought real firearms, but ammo ain't cheap and they were mostly for emergencies.) We had a great first few days. On the fourth day we must have been about fifty miles from the nearest road. We decided that this would be as far as we would go, and tomorrow we would head back the way we came. We were pretty high up on a hill at this point and we had a lovely view of the landscape. We found what seemed to be the concrete foundation of a long-since demolished firewatch station and decided it would be a perfect place to camp. We made a fire and then went to sleep pretty early because we were tired as all hell.
Later that night I woke up to take a piss. I walked out to the edge of the concrete platform, and it was basically pitch black outside. The stars were beautiful, though. I remember pointing my flashlight down the hill the way we came because I didn't want to point it at the tents and wake up my buddies. The flashlight was pretty weak, one of those gigantic heavy ones with a dark yellow light that barely lights up thirty feet in front of you.

when you say sideways features what do you mean by that? I'm having trouble visualizing this
