Was the last one up at night and was smoking pot at the fire . Our leanto was like 40 feet away up on a hill and our food stash was hung in the leanto out of range of coons and squirrels . No bears where im speaking about . Few minutes go by and some coons go up to the leanto to check out what they can get and i hear them shuffling around . 3 babies and a big fat momma . I go back to my business of smoking and say to myself dont shoo them . They cant get any food and they probably dont want to come near me so i dont care what they are doing . i light the bowl and as soon as i start to hit it , i turn around and see this giant coon in the firelight literally a foot away from me . I freaked out , not because im afraid of coons , but becausec i was just shocked and fucking bewildered . Dropped my weed and raised my arms and started barking like a dog as if it was a bear . Ah good times . Camped overnight at Dudleytown , CT . Its apparently extremely paranormally active . Ive heard things there at night i cannot explain . Im a pretty avid camper in the northeast US and have never heard anything like what i heard in the woods there . Keep in mind i never saw one animal there the 4 times i went , day or night . Freaked me out . Still managed to sleep while shitting bricks of fear .
