On August 19th 2011 around noon Blake was loading camping gear into his pickup truck it was a Hot August day and he kept having a wipe the sweat from his forehead as he packed everything up and there were seven people going on his camping trip they were all heading to this piece of land that Blake’s family had owned in Wisconsin it was just a small cabin next to a lake so nothing too fancy but he just drove his pickup truck behind his older brother’s SUV and he would occasionally check his rearview mirror just to make sure all the camping gear he had loaded was still secure and none of it had fallen out and so after hours of driving Blake was ready to finally get out and just stretch his legs they arrived at the property around closer to 3:00 in the afternoon and immediately began unloading everything the cabin itself stood in the middle of the property and it was a bit bit weathered but still fairly sturdy it had been in their family for Generations but they didn’t actually sleep in it they mainly just used it for storage and as a shelter in case the weather got really bad and everybody pitched in carrying tents and coolers and sleeping bags from the vehicles to the campsite Blake’s older brother took charge and directed where each tent should be set up and so finally by about 4: or 4:30 they had pretty much everything ready they had set up 410 in a semicircle facing the lake with a fire pit in the center but because of the time of year it was like 85° outside and Blake’s older brother suggested they all go for a swim and as you can imagine the water felt absolutely incredible after all that work setting up the camp and afterwards they just laid out on towels just letting the sun dry them as they talked about random stuff that they had done that summer now as evening approached Blake’s older brother started the campfire while he and his friends gathered more firewood nearby and they did all the typical Camp stuff right they cooked hot dogs and burgers on this portable grill that they had brought and they passed her on bags of chips and drinks and as it got darker they could actually they could finally see the stars beginning to appear in the sky overhead and it gets to about 10:20 p.m. and they started making s’mores and someone in the group suddenly just pointed upward and there was this Brilliant Blue Light and it was actually streaking across the night sky and it was so bright that it had the entire area lit up for like a second or two and everybody just stopped mid conversation to watch it until it faded from view none of them were sure what it was until Blake’s older brother piped up and said that it was probably just a meteor and everyone agreed and it was pretty cool to have seen it and after a little while longer of sitting by the fire just lost in conversation people began trailing off to bed one by one Blake’s younger brother was sitting across from him close to his girlfriend just talking quietly by the fire and he was getting tired but wasn’t quite ready for sleep yet he turned to his girlfriend and was about to suggest they head to their tent for um some privacy but mids sentence something caught his eye over the tree line on the far side of the lake and he stood up so quickly that he knocked over his camp chair and he began pointing at what he was saying now his girlfriend immediately asked him what was wrong but she followed his gaze across the water both Blake and his younger brother just called for their older brother who just kept saying I’m busy leave me alone go away and after calling again and insisting it was important his brother emerged from his tent looking irritated but the moment his brother saw what he was pointing at his expression completely changed and now all of them are now saying to each other what the hell is that thing all fully alert hovering just above the lake surface was an object unlike anything they’d ever seen before and it moved silently drifting slowly from one side of the lake to the other and the object emitted this soft glow that illuminated the water directly beneath it but the most striking thing was the complete absence of sound there was no humming there was no engine noises and by now everybody in their Camp group had come out of their tents and were watching acting quickly Blake’s brother sprinted to his SUV and came back with a pair of binoculars and he’s looking through them and he could see that the object didn’t have any real distinguishing features it was just this almost solid glowing form hovering there and for about two or so minutes they all just watched this thing slowly Glide across the lake and and suddenly it’s like a light switch just got turned off it was gone there was just complete darkness and except for a faintly glowing circle on the water surface I mean that’s it and within a minute even that faded completely leaving them all just staring into darkness and you can imagine just how stunned this entire group of people were because for several minutes after I mean nobody really said a word it even took a couple moments for them to really regain any composure and then they just kind of all looked at each other in complete disbelief convincing themselves internally that what they just saw had been some sort of dream or hallucination of some kind now .Blake’s older brother just suggested that it might have just been a ball of lightning or maybe an odd weather phenomenon of some kind and they happen to be lucky enough to witness it but you could tell that the entire group didn’t buy it in fact Blake’s girlfriend was visibly shaken and she did not leave his sign for the rest of the night it’s all the entire group could talk about for another hour or so before finally going to bed now eventually even through the adrenaline Blake managed to drift off to sleep around midnight or so with his girlfriend curled up beside him and at about 2: in the morning he woke up uncomfortable and needed to shift positions and you know he opened his eyes and just enough to see that the campfire was still smoldering so there’s just a little bit of light and notice that one of the battery powered lanterns was still on he just figured one of his brothers must have left it on by accident or that one of them was still out there maybe sitting by what remained of the fire and as he quickly sat up you know he looked down and checked his phone and saw that it was a few minutes past two and he kind of chuckled to himself because he was just going to get up and turn the lantern off and you know made me go pee and come right back to bed and uh as he stirred and started to get up he saw a shadow pass by his tent and and then a second and then a third and then a fourth all in a line and immediately he knew that these Shadows were not his brothers because the shapes were very different from the physique of his brothers the figures they were extremely gaunt they were thin really long arms that kind of hung down past the knees and they moved very deliberately around the campsite kind of just examining things and obviously he froze right I mean he’s listening very intently and he couldn’t really hear anything other than just these soft shuffling sounds as he could sense that they were moving between the tents and so he just held his breath terrified that they might decide to look inside fortunately his girlfriend was fast asleep beside him completely unaware what was going on and that thought Trail was broken when he felt something run the outside fabric of his tent it was a hand or a finger tracing the material the touch was pretty light but very deliberate moving from one side of the tent to the other and he just closed his eyes praying that they would leave him alone without getting into his tent and for roughly 10 to 15 minutes this went on and he was just stuck Frozen eventually he heard them moving away from his location and it appeared that they had left in the same formation they had arrived which appeared to be single file one after another Blake was just too terrified to get up from the Comforts of his tent to really investigate having no idea what awaited him out there in the darkness I mean after all it could have been an ambush or something worse and about 10 minutes more goes by and Blake can see something there’s like a flash of lightning and then Thunder rumbling off in the distance and then there’s more Thunder and more Thunder but each time it’s getting closer and within only five or so minutes rain began pounding against his tent and campsite and I can only imagine how fast his mind must have been racing just trying to find a logical conclusion to all of this but there’s none and it took quite a while for the adrenaline to leave his body enough to where he could finally fall back asleep now fast forward to early the next morning and he heard his older brother’s voice outside his tent and he was calling Blake asking if he was awake yet and as Blake stirred he’s like hey did you guys move stuff around last night me and Cassie heard a bunch of commotion going on at here is everything all right and without responding Blake just got up out of his tent and looked around and you know the campsite was rifled through the coolers had been moved chairs were rearranged gear was scattered around but his brothers just assumed raccoons had gotten into their campsite during the night Blake couldn’t really say much because the thoughts of last night were so fresh in his memory he just kind of took a deep breath and told everybody who was now awake and sitting around the campfire what he had seen now obviously everybody listening was pretty skeptical and they just tried to tell him that it was probably a bad dream brought on by the beer and campfire food and of course the strange light they saw no one seemed willing to consider that what he saw might have been real. After breakfast, Blake walked around the perimeter of their campsite just wanting to double check things and near the edge of the woods he found something very strange A Perfect Circle where the grass was FL flattened it was about 6 ft in diameter and every blade of grass was pushed down in a clockwise pattern so he called the others over to look at it and his older brother knelt down to examine it kind of just touching the flattened grass with a puzzled expression and just tried to calm Everyone by saying that it’s probably where an animal beded down for the night oddly enough he said it in a way where he was trying to convince himself of that fortunately the rest of their camping trip just went on without any issues and they all returned home safely 3 days later however there’s a Twist to the story Blake got a Facebook message from his younger brother who sent him a link to a local news article about a farmer and he just told Blake to read it that this is wild you just you got to check this out so Blake not really thinking much just clicked on the link and he began to read and what he read really upset him this farmer who lived not even 5 miles away from from the area they had camped at was complaining about copious amounts of dead livestock that he had been finding over the past months these animals all had no visible wounds or any sign of struggle there was no blood but most disturbingly is that they had been arranged in a perfect circle and within days that article was removed from the website to this day he still doesn’t know if anyone believes what he saw that night or if what he saw was even real or maybe it truly was something Supernatural sadly it remains a mystery.
