Personal Experiences
All evening we were surrounded by
unexplained sounds. Numerous times we went in search of someone
that wasn't even there. A group of investigators heard someone
following them. By who or what we dont know. We set up a motion
detector on the road to make sure there were no surprise
visitors. The motion detector went off 3 times. Who or what set
off the motion detector? No person or animal was located when it was
set off.
