This woman and her two friends, Alex and Violet, were sick and tired of being sequestered due to the COVID-19 pandemic. So, in the summer of 2020, they decided to get away and take a girls’ vacation.
They Decided To Go Camping

“We settled on a mountainous state and planned to camp and hike at several different locations. And for one night, we thought it would be fun to book a cabin in the woods,” she recalled.
Then, They Rented A Cabin In The Woods

The group remembered that Violet’s parents had once rented out a fire tower in the state and had an amazing experience. So, they looked into it but could only find a rental cabin beside the fire tower.
There Were No Neighbors Close To The Secluded Cabin

The cabin was cheap enough, clean, and pretty secluded– so the girls decided to give it a go. After all, they figured that no nearby neighbors meant they could be as rowdy as they wanted to be.
Something Felt Off As They Drove To The Cabin

As she set out for the road trip with Violet and Alex, she began suffering from a gigantic pit in her stomach.
When They Arrived, The Cabin Looked Like It Should Be In A Horror Film

Upon arriving at the cabin, it looked like something out of a horror movie.
And It Was Half An Hour Away From The Closest Town

“The cabin was roughly thirty minutes away from the nearest town. It sat atop a mountain; we held our breath as we rounded the busted road that spiraled toward the top,” she explained.
“There were no pull-offs, no other campsites. Just a long, winding road that led us to the cabin at the peak.”
They Made Dinner And Ate In Silence

Still, the girls were determined to have a great evening together and settled into the place. They started a fire, heated up some hotdogs until they were lukewarm, and ate in silence.
But It Was Far Too Quiet In The Cabin

But, the silence of the secluded cabin was deafening.
The Girls Could Hear Every Leaf Rustling In The Trees

“You don’t know how quiet it is until you are in the middle of nowhere. You can hear every rustle of the leaves and the whisper of the wind through the branches,” she said.
“You get so used to white noise living in the city. Here, the closest thing to white noise was the sound of our own breathing.”
The Sound Of The Wind Whistling Made Them Jumpy

So, every cracked branch and wind gust made the girls jump to the edge of their seats– until finally, she could not handle the fright any longer and made an executive decision to crack some wine coolers and set a board game down on the table.
But They Managed To Relax And Let Loose

And soon after, the girls had loosened up and began enjoying their evening.
They Were Able To Ignore The Creepy Sounds In The Woods

“We were laughing, having the raucous good time we had envisioned. Much more sober than we had thought, but enough that we were able to ignore the rumble of the woods,” she remembered.
In Hindsight, Many Of The Noises Were Unexplainable

Looking back now, she, Violet, and Alex all admitted to hearing unexplainable noises during their hangout– including the snapping of twigs and rumbling of car engines. Still, no one wanted to spoil their peace and fun.
Out Of Nowhere, A Human Hand Slapped One Of The Windows

However, that was until one massive scare gained the attention of all three girls– a human hand reached up to the cabin window and slapped it three times.
They Screamed And Called 911 For Help

At that moment, none of the girls could maintain their composure. They began screaming and hollering as Alex immediately dialed 911.
Police Officers Got To The Cabin 20 Minutes Later

Thankfully, officers did arrive about twenty minutes later– which was a miracle considering the call went out at 1:00 a.m. However, upon combing the mountain with K9s, the officers found absolutely nothing.
The Officers Suggested They Probably Saw A Bear, Not A Person

At first, the police tried to suggest that the hand could have been a bear. But, the group could tell from the officers’ faces that they did not believe that lie for a second.
They Didn’t Buy It – They Knew What They Saw

Plus, why would a bear smack a window? Why would it not go near where the hotdogs had been cooked? And why would the bear make a stealthy retreat after hearing the girls’ screams?
Finally, The Officers Told Them About Something They Witnessed On Their Way To The Cabin

Then, the officers apparently revealed what they had spotted on their way up to the cabin. And it was most unsettling.
A Strange Car Was At The Bottom Of The Mountain

“As they sped to us, they had come across a car at the base of the mountain. But, that was the only sign of life they had seen,” she said.
One Of Their Own Cars Was Covered In Dusty Hand Prints

“Violet’s car was thoroughly dusted by our drive up the mountain and covered in hand prints. Handprints that did not match ours that touched places we hadn’t.”
They Rushed To Get Their Stuff, And Officers Them Escorted Them Far Away

So, at that moment, the group decided to retreat. They quickly gathered all of their stuff and made a beeline to Violet’s car.
The police escorted them down the mountain, and the group eventually found a seedy hotel to spend the rest of their evening.
She’s Still Haunted By What Happened

Nonetheless, the experience at the cabin continues to haunt her to this day. She is not sure if a fire tower visitor decided to spook her and her friends or if the hand was the start of a “night of terror.”
She Hopes She Never Meets That Midnight Stranger Again

But, in all honestly, she does not really ever want to find out. “I think I am just content to say, midnight stranger– let’s not meet.”
