was it moth man?

this happened about 6 years after my previous question in 1966. we set up camp for the weekend. elvis [another freind named brandon nickname] put on some beef stew around sunset. i was putting up a tent brandon and kyle were looking for wood when the came running back they claimed they saw a batman. i had heard about it but passed it off we were in virgina. then when i took out my rifle and started loading it elvis jumped into the tent and brandon & kyle ran to the car. i saw big red eyes behind the tree we all jumped into the tent and elvis peeked throw the flap the thing was squated down by the fire. elvis threw out a firecracker. and it just backed up a little. we were debatind whet to do. finally i gave brandon my rifle and i pulled out my .357 we jumped out of the tent i fired 3 shots [i think one hit] and we ran to my truck. we left the camp. kyle took the shotgun from under the seat. and we drove to town went back the next day, our camp was destroyed. we always took guns with us
i’m not 100% sure what the hell it was when i saw the eyes in the trees the looked pretty far up. they where big and glowing. when elvis looked out the flap he never gave good detail but said it looked 6′ 10” skinny and was black. when we came back the next day our food was still there the tent was kicked down the fire was blown out and it looked like there was some blood or something about 20 feet from the tree line. It looked like it just disappeared in thin air.
i started to look at my comments this happened in 1966 not 1972 like the 3 comment suggest

Name of movie (b&w, made 1960s), set WW II European countryside; theme: Jewish children hiding/escaping Nazis?

A few details that I remember: Children were escaping in back of a truck (I believe carrying garbage, children were hidden under a tarp). One local man helping the children escape was caught, then executed by firing squad by Germans. An attractive, young/middle-aged woman is also caught as she is helping the children escape, and summarily sentenced to death. Near the very end of the movie, the soldiers on firing squad do not shoot the woman who was helping the children. The soldiers all shoot above her head, and in the struggle, the German officer, who appeared in a slightly sympathetic role, is shot and killed. I believe that this black & white movie was a British production, made sometime in the early- to mid-1960s, certainly no later than 1965 or 1966, since I saw it on British public TV in 1968. Thank you.

I sold my house I need help moving, We are on SSI & disability, & have 3 Great Danes. Where do I go for help?

We have 2 Harley Davidson’s , a Motor Home, 3 cars,& 1 1966 Chev. Panel truck to move & years of accumilation to move. How do we go about moving the cheapest way possible? We are hopefully moving to the Salmon River in Idaho about 300miles away, but not right after the closing on my house. We will have a couple weeks in between the closing on my house & the closing on the MT. property. I am very open to suggestions. We are unable to do the whole thing by ourselves.

I am road tripping to texas from ohio, can an old car make it?

Me and my friend are road tripping to kerrville, texas (2 hours from san antonio) from columbus ohio. I am thinking about buying this car for the trip:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/76-Super-Beetle-Convertible-Nice-Driver-CA-Car_W0QQitemZ330314271908QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUS_Cars_Trucks?hash=item330314271908&_trksid=p4506.c0.m245&_trkparms=72%3A317%7C65%3A12%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318

do you think it could make it there and back?
what would go wrong with the car?
is it a bad idea?
what should i worry about?
do you think purchasing that car is a good idea?
Is the price reasonable for that car?
how long do you think it will last?

so many questions, but thank you!

also, i am either getting that old bug, or i recently have thought about purchasing an old 65′-66′ mustang convertible

would that be a smarter idea to drive from ohio to texas?

like this:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1966-Ford-Mustang-Convertible-289-4V-auto-barn-find_W0QQitemZ300300809399QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUS_Cars_Trucks?hash=item300300809399&_trksid=p4506.c0.m245&_trkparms=65%3A7%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1308#ebayphotohosting

(which is not as "pristine" as that bug)
(it might not be that specific mustang, because that one is a little too expensive and has some rust, but i doubt i can find a nicer one for any cheaper)

So between the two, which one would make me and my friend to texas without breaking down?

thank you thank you thank you!

Can someone give me a cost estimate for a 1966 Ford Mustang coupe, used?

I want my first car to be a 1996 Ford Mustang V8 coupe

something sorta like this:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1966-Mustang-Coupe-3owner-Rust-Free-Beauty_W0QQitemZ330347446738QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUS_Cars_Trucks?hash=item4cea3e01d2&_trksid=p4506.c0.m245

How much would it cost to get a used mustang, and say, have to put in a radio, fix scratches and repaint?
and fix the engine
it doesnt go back as far as 1966
