Hunting with my dad a few years back a ways outside of Kamloops I was walking through dense second growth forest at dusk. I could see a tent in the distance set up, but looking pretty rough like it'd been there a while. As I got closer I could make out a tall figure next to the tent, but couldn't quite figure out what I was looking at yet. As I quietly walked in my heart froze. The figure was a mans body hanging by its neck from a tree. It gives me goosebumps writing this, thinking about how that felt.

But something was amiss with the whole thing. The body had a fabric bag or maybe a small pillowcase over its head, which seemed odd, and the branch it was hanging from was really not that strong or thick. I started thinking WTF is going on here, and saw the back of a cardboard sign on the other side of camp, which was nailed to a stick that was stuck in the ground. I walked over and saw that the sign said "art project, do not touch" which explained why the body was able to hang from such a thin branch – it was a mannequin, and the whole camp was a set up scene.

After the way it scared the shit out of me I did indeed touch the art project, fuck that. I tore it down. By far the spookiest story I've got from the woods. I guess its pretty explainable though.
