The Forested Man

I was out in this area on a late night hike while I was camping at the ONF. While I am experienced at hiking, this was my first attempt at trying to place a simple geocache.  I may have walked for a while.  Time seemed to slip as the moon shone bright! I looked over and I swear I saw a bright light being shined on the trees about 300 to 400 feet away.  I stopped walking and it stopped too. I decided that this would be a good a spot as any to place a geocache, so I got my GPS'r out and quickly found a classic spot for this really nice one quart cammo'd plastic jar that was weighing me down for the last almost 2 miles. Then I saw a shimmer of light. Startled, I looked up. Adrenaline filled my veins, ready to fight or flight.  I shone my light in the direction, when a swarm of fireflies came out of nowhere! They began to form a swarming ball and I saw a FACE! I cant explain it! I saw it! I booked feet out of there! I felt a light shining over me the whole time I ran back! I dared to look back and it was only the moon again peeking out from over the clouds again. Whew! I turned back in the direction I was walking and almost breathed in a firefly! For those who try this cache...please do it during the day! I... I can only try my best to redraw it...
CONSIDER YOURSELVES WARNED!

Update: as you can see in the logs, ICM saw the original cache clawed to death! PLEASE WATCH OUT FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY!!!
