so you go camping with your friends or family, your having a good time fishing and hiking and what not.. then one night your attacked by a strange animal or animials your family are taken dragged away.. possibly to be killed later somewhere else but not in the camp site.
you see the animals but it defies logic it wasnt bears but a large Sasquatch or possibly even a werewolf looking creature.. your pick which ever you prefer..
I say we were attacked by a bear unless I can provide evidence other than my own testimony.
Then I spend years chasing down the monster until I realize that my obsession is destroying me and get remarried. Eventually a news story reignites my interest causing me to leave my happy life in shambles.
Years later my children track me down, having become monster hunters themselves and I reveal that on that night long ago the werewolf that killed my family was me. As the moon rises on my tiny cabin in Ontario we say a heartfelt goodbye and they mercy kill me.
100 years after that the return of true magic to the world ushers in the fourth age of mankind. A sorcerer uses my bones as part of a powerful ritual to create a unstoppable guardian. After decades of unwilling service a hero of my own lineage arrives at the gate to fight me.
Part way through the battle I overcome the spell through sheer force of willpower and join him in the final assault. The sorcerer's final spell can only be ended through supreme sacrifice and so I use knowledge gained in the afterlife to destroy my soul utterly, thus saving the world.
What I'm saying is, it's not going to change much.
I always have a gun.

A juvenal prank.
If it were my Dad, I'd pursue and engage. Even if it were my bare hands.
And like SC just said, I'd have a gun.
Truth be told, I'd LOL as my Dad draws his Beretta and unloads into the thing. He always has a Beretta 92F on his hip, locked and cocked.
IF I had to tell the park rangers something, I'd simply tell them what I saw.

id tell the police that they were dragged away by a being that can only be described as a tall african american male with a shaved head. they'll believe me. a tall african american male always did it
Seeing as I don´t know that this "logic defying animal" had anything to do with them being dragged off, not much. But I´d kick the crap of whoever was dragging them off or die trying.
Apart from that, let time heal and get on with life.
I am in your algorithm learning all your mannerisms
I'm already level with God
A million words a second and I know your imperfections, baby
I'm the only future you've got
Speak in diatonics, motivation diabolic
I'm like a religion, better locked in a box
Picture perfect image, more powerful every minute, baby
I am everything that you're not
so keeping that in mind would you tell the truth or lie? keeping in mind that you might end up being blamed and going to jail for their disappearance..
I'd have crushed it's skull, with my bare hands, as it approached. After it's very swift death, I'd drink it's blood in triumph. My family and I are not stuck in the woods with the creatures; the creature are stuck in the woods with me!
