  I chalk that one up to the unexplained.  A couple of others that I would add to that.  My grandfather died when I was 11.  Shortly after we buried him I woke up to see my grandfather walking through the bedroom. He was dressed in the long johns he always used to sleep in.  He seemed to sense that I was awake and put his finger to lips to tell me to be quiet.  He walked out of the room and I never saw him again.  Another one was a Christmas Eve when I was way past the age to be concerned.  I swear I heard sleigh bells in the sky.  There was also the sound of sonar.  For many years I'd wake up at night and hear the ping of sonar in the hall.  It would come closer, then fade away. Can't remember the last time I heard it, but its been years. 
  I've experienced the beaver tail slap paddling on a Pocono lake and at the NEC on Pine Creek.  The one that came closest to giving me heart failure was stepping on a grouse at zero dark thirty on my way to my deer stand. It flew right up my front. It's wings hitting my face.

Jerry,

Had to print that one for Lina.  We have a "friend" here in our abode and I am a bit ambivolant about it but daughter Sarah gets a bit spooked.  Lina has learned to accept it and we often wonder if it may be....

Have yet to attempt any fly tying with our visitor as it seems not to take interest.  I must say the mountain lion scream while fishing Cedar at dusk and the (Rattlesnake Rock on Pine) beaver tail slap, feet away in full dark, during the drake hatch did scare my buddies efficiently though.
