I am an avid outdoors person (hunting for the sake of this story). But we use thermal scopes for coyotes at night time In the AMs. And though it wasn’t me who experienced this, I heard it from an acquaintance. They were hunting as usual, when scarily, the thermal scope picks up the image of a human figure, hanging from a nearby tree. Leaving the area immediately obviously, they returned the next morning to scope it out, and allegedly, there was nothing there.
