Entry 5 – October 10, 2012
Well, I'm not sure if my stakeout was successful or not. I think I was a bit closer to the "creature" (or whatever it is) than last time. At least I was able to do it tonight and not tomorrow night. I tried to prepare for the worst. Now that I think about it, I wasn't as prepared as I could have been. Before it got dark out, I brought a bunch of stuff to my tree-house. I made a few trips back and forth between my house and the tree-house. I felt like I was getting ready for a sleep over, but by myself. I brought a sleeping bag and a pillow, which I later decided not to use after an incident (more details on that later). I took some food and drinks with me. I did think through what I was bringing. I made sure not to bring anything with loud packaging (like bags of chips and cans of soda), just in case the creature would be nearby. When the sun finally set, I was up in the tree-house, determined to wait and listen for any strange noises that I heard before. Time went by and not much had happened. I snacked a bit while waiting. Suddenly, I heard some leaves crunching outside. It was from a tree nearby. I mentally questioned myself if I was prepared to get close to this thing. I decided I wasn't gonna run away now. So I just waited for more sounds. There was a few minutes of delay before the sound of another, closer tree shaking. I wanted to wait and see if it would get closer. The problem was it did get closer, it was on one of the two trees that held my tree-house off the ground. The room was shaking a bit. Stuff on my desk was moving around. I had to fumble around to pick up my flashlight. I thought the only thing left to do is to see if I could get a glimpse of this creature. I went out onto the deck and shown my flashlight into the two trees. I could have sworn that I saw something, but couldn't really confirm anything. Out of no where, something hits me on my forehead. It left a good size cut with it. I don't know if it was something from the tree or if it was deliberate from the creature. After receiving injury, I had to go back to my house to fix the cut. I might have scared off the creature when I yelled with pain. I really didn't pay attention. I needed to make sure I didn't require stitches or anything. Lucky for me, I didn't. It was only a minor cut. Thank goodness. I'll have to look around and see if I can find the thing that hit me. Shouldn't be too hard to find. It should have a bit of blood on it. I would really like to know what it was. With all the previous events, I wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't an object from the tree.
