Entry 9 – October 15, 2012
Yesterday, I decided to take a break from my observations of this creature. With all the intensity that happened the day before, I needed to cool my nerves. Even though I know why what happened happened, I still needed to clear my mind a bit. The break was worth it. I was able to build up more courage for today's event. Speaking of which, was another new encounter. I went up to my tree-house just to think and probably to see if the creature would come back. I didn't notice it was already in the tree until 15 minutes. I went out onto the deck and looked up. I didn't even bother with my flashlight this time. I just stared up into the moon-lit branches of the two trees. I thought I would try something just for the heck of it. I walked to the side rail of the deck, still looking up. "Hello?" I asked, out of curiosity. I then heard a noise from the trees. Was this some kind of reply? Maybe so. For some reason, I thought the noise sounded friendly. It was much more friendly sounding than a growl, but this just sounded friendlier than the other sounds I've heard from the creature. Maybe I'm on the right track with this creature. If only I knew what it was, that would make all this much easier. Nothing much more happened today. I'll have to see about figuring out what this creature is. I guess that's what I've been trying to do ever since I started this journal. All this creature does is hop around in the trees. So maybe I need to get it on the ground. That might be a tough feat. I'll have to figure out how to do that.
