"He said he’d been there for hours, having woken up on the ground in the dark and having no idea where he was so he just sat it out, waiting for dawn. It was really spooky."
I received the following account:
"When I was a teenager we went away for a week of camping at the Hidden Valley Scout Reservation in Perry County, Pennsylvania. My dad was our scout master and we were mostly all friends from growing up. There was one kid Alex, the youngest, that we didn’t really know well and was definitely kind of weird, withdrawn, and awkward, just kinda different, but still a sweet guy that everyone liked.
Toward the end of the week, we went out on an overnight, just the scouts without my dad or his buddy who was our other scouter. We hiked for hours into the bush. It was a really hot day and my older brother was leading us but not drinking any water and wearing a light jacket which made him extra hot. Eventually, we found a sweet spot next to the river. We made a fire and cooked dinner. we soon fell asleep under the stars.
Around 4:30 am, just before sunrise, my friend Steve woke me up and asked if I knew where Alex was. I said no and that maybe he went to relieve himself, but after 5 minutes he wasn’t back so we got up and started looking around and calling his name. Nothing. So we ranged a little further and then I saw his sleeping bag at the edge of the river. I freaked out and ran over to see if I could see anything at the bottom, but I saw nothing. We tried to get my brother up but he was pretty sick from the heat so I took charge of the situation.
We started ranging out into the woods and calling his name. One of the guys started doing the emergency whistle call, three short whistles, but we were really in the middle of nowhere. I started going deeper into the woods calling his name. Then I thought I heard something. I stopped and listened and heard a faint cry deep in the woods. So I started running, crashing through thick undergrowth, getting lashed in the face with branches, and stumbling across fallen logs. His cries got louder and eventually, I arrived at this huge clearing in the woods to find him sitting on a fallen tree, in his underwear and a t-shirt. He said he’d been there for hours, having woken up on the ground in the dark and having no idea where he was so he just sat it out, waiting for dawn. It was really spooky. The craziest thing was that his watch had been reset so he didn’t know what time it actually was.
We all accepted that it was probably sleepwalking, but he was so far in the woods and didn’t have a scratch on him, and this clearing was so bizarre because it was big and round in the middle of these really dense woods. To this day I wonder what really happened." B
NOTE: Is it possible that Alex was 'taken?' Lon
