August 2020

I had a strange occurrence happen on August 8, 2020 at approximately 9:30 PM when I was camping on the Saint Joe River in Idaho. It is the second time I've had an experience by the Saint Joe River. I would rather give a verbal explanation to someone rather than trying to type it out. Basically the first one was about 8 years ago a neighboring camper was chopping wood for about 10 or 15 minutes and after he quit I heard two wood knocks above the road and above the campground that kind of freaked me out. I got up and went and looked and there was something on the road above us that was staring down at me don't know what it was but it was there. This last weekend August 8 I heard three Whoops or long group calls over the sound of my music when I turn my music off I heard nothing I would like to give a verbal description of what I encountered so if you're interested call me. No one was camping within 1/2 miles of me and that's what made me wonder what is going on.
