When I was atlassing in the Falmouth area I near Shey Lake there was a =
fellow with a similar story. For about two weeks, every time he went =
outside and started splitting firewood, a ruffed grouse would come out =
of the woods and stand there and watch him and follow him around. It =
stopped coming just as mysteriously as it showed up=85
