Hi. First Post. Long time lurker.
Unsure if this is the right area of forum. But here goes.
Was on a school camping trip to North Wales in UK about late June 1987. So was about 13. Two man tent. On the first or second night I had this weird experience. Will try to explain it best as possible. Over the years I can recall how I felt at that time.
About 10pm looking over the hills about 2 or 3 three miles away I could see 6 large bright lights interchanging positions. Really fast. Went on for about 20 minutes. Nobody else seen it or if they did never mentioned it.
Anyway went asleep in tent. Our tent was on the edge of the camp area. About sometime woke up and turned to my friend next to me. He was not there,everything else was in the correct place not like in a dream. Remember feeling panic and sick. This happened 2 or 3 other times during night. Waking up nobody in next sleeping bag. Think by now I was shouting his name out. Must have then got back to sleep. In the morning when I woke it was light and was sleeping now with my head at the entrance to the tent. This time my friend was there and was surprised to see me sleeping that way. Just felt relieved. I did ask him if he left the tent in the night. He said no.
Over the two days he was ill and sick a few times. Still seem occasionally and I always bring this story up. He's quite relaxed about it but I can still bring back that fear of being in the tent alone.
People I've spoke to since have mentioned it's just a dream. But how real it was like touching things Feeling worried. I've never had the same since before or after.
Sorry if I've waffled on. Thanks.
