A group of four friends were camping at Bald Eagle State Park. Later that night, an unmarked black pickup truck was seen roaming the area around their campsite, frightening 2 of the campers.
I received the following account:
"Hi, Lon. In June of this year, I went camping for a night with four friends in Bald Eagle State Park in Centre County, Pennsylvania. We had reserved a site that was somewhat remote, not near any of the other campsites. After we got there early, we hiked up to the site, set up camp, and then hiked around the area.
Later, we made a fire, cooked dinner, and turned in not long afterward. At around 2 a.m. one of my friends and I couldn't sleep, so we trekked up to the main road. When we got to the road we stood near the entrance to our site. As we stood there a black pickup truck with its lights off appeared out of the woods and passed us very slowly. It was unmarked, but not a ranger. After 45 minutes or so, we decided to head back to bed. One of the girls went off into the woods to take care of some things while I climbed back into the tent I shared with her and got into my bag.
After a couple of minutes, I heard her moving through the leaves towards the tent coming from my right. At the same time, I also heard the unmistakable rumble of tires on the ground. I stood up and looked out of the little screen window on the tent. It was a perfectly clear night with a very bright moon so I could see everything. I saw my friend come sprinting back to the tent and duck behind it just as the black truck pulled into our campsite, still with its headlights off, and then shut off its engine and sat there. The truck was parked about 50 feet from my tent but I couldn't see a driver or how many people were in there. I just watched it. My friend had ducked down behind our tent and I could hear by her breathing that she was terrified but neither of us said a word.
We just kept waiting for something to happen. Eventually, after 10-15 minutes, the truck started up again and then backed up down the narrow dirt road. It never turned its headlights on. I heard it drive back in the direction it had originally come from. My friend burst into the tent a second later. She was freaked out and wondered who was in the truck. After a frantic conversation, we went laid down, but we couldn't relax enough to fall asleep.
In the morning, we all packed up and headed out, as we had planned. We checked with the park and they do not own any black unmarked trucks, nor did any ranger come to check on our site during the night.
The reason I'm writing to you about this is that I know that you have received several Bigfoot reports from Bald Eagle State Park. I was just wondering if you had heard or read of other strange human activity at the location. My other two friends, strangely, never noticed or heard the truck. The entire incident didn't seem right and it has bothered me since." H
NOTE: Bald Eagle State Park has had its share of unexplained activity, especially involving cryptids. As far as strange human activity, well, many of us have encountered a few odd people in the woods on occasion. I don't know if these friends simply overreacted, but I can say that I would have been concerned if it happened to me. Lon
