I've spent a lot of time in the pines throughout my life and have had many strange occurences while in them, in fact my daughter and I had a strange encounter yesterday out there on Penn Swamp Rd. We were quite a ways into the pines on a tight trail in the car and hadn't seen any wildlife in a little while and out of nowhere there was a shaggy wet looking black dog with green eyes standing about 6 feet into the treeline. It simply stood there looking at the ground and then raised it's head to look at us as we drove past. It never left it's position nor moved in a startled way of any kind when we drove past. Very strange encounter. Sorry no pictures, I did not stop the car, instead I picked up speed and got the heck out of there.
