Walking in wooded area near my grandparent's place where I normally felt completely safe I happened. Upon two trees known to me as location markers due to being near a strange Microwave transmission that would cause my cell phone to over heat and the battery to go dead. The phone would state the system was unusable even though it displayed five bars. An internet friend located the probable source from a government tower sixty miles away at a spot near Yuba city Ca. Behind a Cain link security fence. On this day , with some surprise, I noticed both my reference Trees had been savagely torn up from the lowest limbs to the very top at about 25 feet up. No bear claw marks on the lower trunks as I would expect to see. Not understanding the cause I quickly left.
That’s a strange story
I'm not sure if there is a relationship between the powerful microwave beam near those trees and the rather unusual damage or not. First thing is, I didn't give close examination to the trunks so there may have been some claw marks from climbing bear(s). Mountain lions will reach up about five or six feet to claw mark a tree after pissing on it. It's saying, "my turf, stay out" to other lions. I've seen these markings and seen the lion near the area, so there's that. Bears would raid the gaden to gorge on grapes and apples leaving huge crap pile and tracks.
My unproven theory is that maybe the beam agitated a bear some how?
Maybe a bigfoot? Anyway,I avoided the spot after that. The damage was so severe not a single branch on either tree had not been shredded. I'd rather not encounter an animal that would do that.
