Okay well I wouldn't consider this exactly paranormal but it is creepy and something I thought I'd share. I think it'd be considered out of the ordinary haha.

During the Summer I work at a sleep-away camp where once a session we take the kids to a smaller camp ground that's about a 15 minute walk away from the main camp. We call it an overnight, we make a fire with our group of kids, stuff our faces with junk food and the youth can stay up for as long as they please and it's just fun.

It was nearing twelve in the morning when my co and our kids decided that they wanted to retreat to the tents and settle in. I wanted to stay up a little longer because there was a super cool meteorite shower. So I'm alone, sitting on a rock by the water, shrubs behind me and there's a small path between the shrubs and a giant rock that goes up to where the fire is then just beyond that is the tents. I'm just trying to describe this the best that I can so you can get a decent idea of what it looks like haha.

I'm alone, laying down, watching the sky when a rock skips across the rock I'm on and into the water. I sit up, look behind me and I see no one. So I shout "that's funny, who is it?" and there's no response. I stand up, I'm now facing the shrub and I ask again. I hear all my kids and my co from the tents say "everyone's in the tents". WHAT. I immediately panic and rush up the small path to the fire because I'm terrified something's there and take a moment to study the area but I can't see anything. At this point my kids are asking what's wrong and I just rush to the tent.

My kids know that something is up because I literally wouldn't shut up about the meteorite shower for weeks and now I'm in the tent peeking out trying to see if I can catch it from there and see if someone is hanging around our campground but I can't see anything suspicious so I just decide to sleep. Maybe the kids were messing with me.

During the night I remember being half asleep and sleeping with my arm behind my head and my elbow touching the end of the tent. I felt something touch me but when I opened my eyes I saw nothing and couldn't tell if I had dreamt it or not. The next morning I mention it and a kid in my tent mentioned seeing someone drag their hand across the back of our tent and then the kids from the other tent say they saw the same thing. And they heard walking around.

We all freak out and pack up our stuff and I'm telling them "let's get the fuck out of here!" and we leave. I spoke to my boss because sometimes other staff will sneak into the overnight camp sights to mess with the groups but apparently no one had come by to spook us. And the next group that went to it was given a hatchet by the nature specialist because there was a concern of someone hanging around the camp sights. WHAT.

It just made me so uncomfortable and freaked me out. It's been two years and no one has come forward about it. ; A;
