sorry for my Bad Grammer.

Hey there guys i just stumbled across this site browsing around the internet for some ND Investiagation groups looking to get into one myself, the solo thing is good but would enjoy being with people who are also interested in the same thing which seems to be pretty hard here in the state of North Dakota glad i ran into this page.

Anywho saw this and thought i'd say one of my stories we'll my Father and grandfather own one of the oldest and best hunting locations and hunting lodges in the state which is located 20 miles west of Washburn ND and settles next to the missouri river. I've been hunting and Camping there sense as long as i can remember, The current Cabin has been standing for over 100 years and was build over 60 years before it was moved down the hill to its final resting spot.

I hunt in a tree stand a 1/4 mile away in the woods from the cabin when i was 14 years of age my first weird experience happened ( it actually kinda creeps me out to this day. ) i had just settled into my stand on the fist Saturday of November around 5:45 AM and it was a pretty cold morning below 0 if i remember correctly, all was well for the first hour or so..when i noticed a man probably 200 maybe 250 yards away from me ( which i thought was very weird considering i'm the only one that was hunting in these woods that year ) we'll i really didn't think anything of it to much but as time went by, id say around 20 min. i started to get allittle concerned about him still being there pacing about 20 to 40 yards back and forth, so i disconnected my scope form my rifle and took a closer look, which showed me a man probably around the age of i'd say 60-70 at this point i started to wonder if he was lost,disoriented or something so i thought i'd leave it alone for awhile only being 14 this sorta freaked me out but after half hour i'd say i started to feel curious so i started yelling Hey, Hello, You ok that sorta thing but with no answer what so ever. so agenst my better judgement probably i climbed down from my stand to get a bit closer to see if he was just hard of hearing or something.

So here i am now about 10 yards away from my tree stand yelling at this man hey, you ok?! but still with no answer so i probably shouldn't of done this thinking back on it but armed with a rifle i really wasn't to scared so i started walking toward the man as i got to about 50 yards from him i started yelling again Hey Hello? you ok? HELLo? nothing but this time i sware to this day that he looked right at me i know he noticed me. but turned and started walking away from me, i think i may of scared him so i don't know what made me do it but i started fallowing in really curious at was was going on now. so i don't know what i was thinking i started following him thinking this guy really needed help but was just completely out of it so i'm yelling yelling but this guy just kept walkin when he reached on old builing in the woods ( it still stands to this day ) it is an old school house you know those old 1 room school houses from back in the day well he walked right inside... at this point i'm probably stand somewere around the lines of 25 yards way from this building yes.. still yelling pretty freaked out at this moment even with the rifle around my shoulder i started to walk up to this place and finally peeked my head in the door and saw nothing but but an old desk laying on the floor and the old piece of the chalk board on the wall. on the oposite corner was another door which i figured he went out ( this is were it gets scary ) i walked over to it and opened the door which was just another little Room which had to have been the Bathroom OMG were the hell did this guy go i thought i was freaking Out man i tell ya lol so i turned and started to quickly allmost at a run to get out of this place but at the moment that i reached the old desk on the floor the front door Slammed shut i mean SLAMMED but i just kept running and pretty much just put all my weight into the door and freed myself which only took but a second or to from the time the door slammed., i looked around and didn't see Nothing Not even a Sound seriously it was overly Quiet i know i would've heard something moving away quickly considering it had only been a matter of a few seconds from the point the door closed. so i COMPLETELY FREAKED out and Ran for all i was worth east back towards the cabin and my Truck which was parked halfway between the two. when i got back to my truck i was complete scared and confused i still to this day do not understand what that day lol pretty scary stuff

I've tried doing some research on it over the last couple of years and i found out that the school house was put there but failed and that a guy of around the same age i guessed dissapeared from the Ranch that Also still stands to this day, you have to drive thru it actually to get to are cabin,

but even to this day i still hunt from the same stand and have never seen anything like that again but would love to go with some sorta equipment and see if anything else could be resolved from this, i've thought about going and visiting the school house again to take a closer look but i really can't seem to get myself with 20 yards of the place without spooking myself out of going in there.

well thanks to anyone if anybody that reads this
