Black Eyed Kids (BEK) Hound Huntsville, Alabama Neighborhood

A woman in Huntsville, Alabama was reading about black eyed kids when she heard a knock at her. It was 2:30 am and her dogs were acting strangely. She peeked out the window and saw 2 young boys begging to be left in.

The following account was in my archives. I don't believe that I had previously posted:

"One evening in 2014, I was in my living room reading. It was around 2:30 am and my dog went to the door like he had to go out. I started to get up and he started growling at the door. He has never growled at anything in his life, he was only 6 months old. Then my other dog jumped up on the couch, trembling and whining, she was a year old.

Needless to say, this unnerved me, since I was reading about creepy stuff, including BEK, and was already a little freaked out. So, I just sat back on the couch and held my older dog, trying to calm her down. Then came a knock on the door. Usually, my dogs go wild, barking and whining excitedly because they love people, but my 6 month old puppy ran away from it and came over by me. At this point, my heart was racing and I was just terrified.

All the lights in my house were off and the curtains were drawn. I don't have a peephole so I peeked out through the blinds of the window behind me that overlooked the porch. There were two boys standing there. One looked to be around maybe 5, he was really little, and the other one was about 10, I 'd say. They had their heads down and were wearing winter clothes, heavy jackets. I thought this was weird because it's in the summer. Then, they both turn to look up at me.

I don't have a bulb in my porch light, so I couldn't see their faces but they looked directly at the window. This freaked me out even more, so I moved away from the window and just sat on my couch. I couldn't believe that this was happening. I had heard that if you "knew about them" then "they would visit you" and I just kept trying to convince myself that these were just some young kids playing a prank or something, that this wasn't really happening. However, this felt very real.

Then one of them spoke, it sounded like it may have been the older one. "Ma'am, can you let us in? It's really cold out here and my brother is hungry" I didn't move, didn't reply. I was immediately alarmed because I had no idea how they knew I was a "ma'am." I just sat there on my couch. The voice sounded void of emotion and a lot more calmer and somehow older than the little person talking. What the hell would two young kids be doing out at this time of night anyway? Plus, it's June, in Alabama, it isn't cold by any means.

I felt this overwhelming sense of dread and knew if I opened the door, something awful would happen. I had read the stories and I thought "nope, not gonna answer the door, f*ck this." It was really weird though, because no matter how scared I was, and how none of this made sense. I almost felt compelled to go to the door. Like, I had an urge to help them.

I suppressed it the best I could and ignored them anyway. Then the same voice said "ma'am, please let us in, I saw you through the window, I know you're there. It will only take a moment" I was like okay, WTF "moment"...? What kid says that? I was frozen in fear and just refused to answer them at all. I waited for them to go away, and didn't dare look out my window because I just knew they were right next to it and would be staring back at me with pitch black eyes. Then, after a few seconds of silence, they started pounding on my window and I heard the same voice again.

"LET US IN, PLEASE, IT'S COLD AND WE HAVE TO CALL OUR MOM. SHE WILL BE WORRIED IF WE DON'T CALL HER!"

I honestly couldn't believe what I was hearing, it sounded just like what happened in all the stories I've been reading. At this point I was almost in tears, I was so freaked out. My heart felt like it was gonna bust of my chest. I still stayed silent and didn't answer the door. I just sat back against the arm of my couch and held my legs up to my chest. There was no way I was answering that f*cking door.

I stayed that way for about half an hour, until I was sure they were gone and everything was quiet. My dogs at this point had run into my room and I had to go get them out and hold them because I was just terrified and needed some kind of comfort. I never saw these kids' eyes, I have no idea for sure if they were BEKs, but I definitely believe that they were. I grabbed my phone and called my friend who had suggested I read the stories and woke her up and begged her to come stay the night with me. After I told her what happened, she agreed right away. About 15 minutes later, she still wasn't here. I started to get worried, because she only lives on the next street over. It should have taken her not even 5 minutes to get here. Then at that point, I saw headlights in my driveway and looked out the window. I saw her get out of her car and run to my door, banging on it.

I let her in immediately, and she was crying, had this terrified look on her face, and said "you aren't gonna believe this, but I swear to God I just encountered the two kids you told me about." She said she was at a stop sign, and checked her phone for a second when this kid knocked on her window. It startled her, so she looked up and strangely, the street lights were out so she couldn't see his face, but there was another younger kid behind him. She cracked the window, already apprehensive, and said "can I help you?" And the kid said "give us a ride." In a demanding, overly confident voice for a child.

She didn't say anything and the kid stepped toward her car, and he was close enough now that she noticed he had jet black eyes, wall to wall black, no white. She said she wanted to drive way immediately, but felt like she was being pulled into his stare, almost opening her door before she snapped out of it, but she didn't. She gunned the gas pedal and went straight to my house. We stayed up the rest of the night.

According to the stories, they usually pay you more than one visit, so I'm gonna take a ton of melatonin and knock myself out tonight to try to sleep right through, in case they decide to come again. Believe me or not, this really happened. On Stevens Ave in Five Points. Right here in Huntsville. Lock your doors and windows and ignore any child that comes to your door asking for help. Especially if it's at night." OS

The 'Squallies': Newest Updates

According to local legends, somewhere in this vast area lives a group of people called the 'Squallies.' They are said to be short, human-like creatures with a pig-like snout.

A few years ago, I received the following information from a reader, referencing a legend near the Florida Everglades. I have updated the post with more information that I recently received:

East of Naples, Florida, on the edge of the Everglades, is a large, partially developed residential area called Golden Gate Estates. Originally a Florida land scheme run by the Rosen family in the 1960s, some of the area has been developed while the rest consists of miles and miles of streets with few or no houses. The portion south of Alligator Alley was purchased by the State of Florida and is being restored to its natural state. Residents of the area are frequently visited by bears, bobcats, deer, hogs, and even panthers.

According to local legends, somewhere in this vast area lives a group of people called the Squallies. They are said to be short, human-like creatures with a pig-like snout. Also called squally kids due to their short stature, according to most accounts they are a community of 30 to 50 adults.

There are several stories as to their origins. Some claim that they are the were produced from a government genetics experiment gone wrong. There are stories about an abandoned laboratory somewhere near DeSoto Boulevard and Oil Well Road where they were created. Others claim that they are simply a family of highly in-bred humans who live in the vast Everglades.

According to some of the legends they live in a place called the Naithlorendum Sanctuary. Allegedly, the sanctuary is guarded by a crazy old man who will shoot trespassers on sight. It is unclear if he is a security guard or if he is actually the scientist who created the Squallies. All agree that the Squallies will try to capture any humans who enter their sanctuary and eat them alive.

Is this just an urban legend? Quite possibly. I was able to find one documented report of questionable veracity:

GOLDEN GATE ESTATES, Fla., June 14, 2011 (UPI) -- Police in Florida said a man accused of crashing his motorcycle told officers the incident was the fault of the "boogeyman."

The Florida Highway Patrol said James Scarborough, 49, of Golden Gate Estates, was taken to Physicians Regional Hospital with minor injuries Sunday after he apparently crashed his motorcycle into some trees and became pinned under the vehicle, the Naples Daily News reported Tuesday.

Police said Scarborough was shouting profanities and attempting to leave his hospital bed when they arrived to interview him. They said he denied crashing his motorcycle and told them he had become pinned under the bike due to the actions of the "boogeyman."

Was it a Squally? Hard to say. Officers said they smelled a strong odor of alcohol on Scarborough's breath.

I later received an account from a resident in Naples, Florida:

A few months ago, my friend told me about this thing called a “squally” that supposedly lived down the road from me. I didn't believe him until I asked some kids at my school, and they said they heard about it too. But this is what I was told by one of the kids who said his father had seen one.

He said it was short, human-like creature with a flattened, pig-like snout. The Squallies live in a highly-protected community in the wooded outskirts of Naples, Florida in miniature houses with bridges. Seems many locals are convinced that they’ve actually seen the Squallies. A theory is that they are a government-protected conspiracy where people where genetically mutated and sent to live at a place called Naithlorendum Sanctuary off of Desoto Rd, and that planes and helicopters are kept from flying over the area. Others say that the Squallies wait for people to break in so that they can capture and eat them alive.

There's some old guy who lives on the property, who will shoot you if you trespass. My friend's cousin went to the place late at night and saw the old guy walking around with a rifle.

Some woman near me said she believes that it's a base for alien beings. Not sure about that. HH

Recently, the following information was forwarded to me:

I met two young people on the trail at the Bird Rookery Swamp, (in their 20's), obviously locals, who asked me if I had seen any Squallies. They explained the legend to me, as I had never heard of it before, and that the center of the Squally legend was located only a few miles away on Desoto Blvd.. I'm an explorer and Nature photographer who searches for the Skunk Ape, after photographing several footprints in the Everglades, and so I was very interested. After a lot of research on the internet, and exploring the entire length of Desoto Blvd. I found that the Naithlorendum Sanctuary was a private property once owned by a man named Bob Gore, who loved nature, and after his death, not too long ago, left his property to be made into a Preserve, now renamed, The Cypress Cove Conservancy. This new Preserve is supposed to open on September 1st, and I plan to be there. Check out the video on the Cypress Cove Conservancy website. It will show you that Bob Gore loved nature so much. TB:

Rural Georgia Cemetery Suddenly Manifests Before Witnesses

A young woman in rural Georgia and her fiance agree to go along with her parents in search of a creepy cemetery. They eventually encounter an entity of a little girl with black eyes, in a cemetery that had suddenly manifested before them.

The following account was sent to me several years ago. I don't believe that I had previously posted it:

"My fiance and I decide to go out to dinner and on a double date with my parents. We live in the upstairs apartment of their home, so we usually all carpool to save gas when we go do stuff as a group. We're all together, and my mom decides she wants to go check out this local cemetery. I'd rather not name it, because it would give away my locale, but it's in the west Georgia area, right by the Alabama state line. She had heard of it from co-workers she trusted, who told her family stories about how creepy this place was. I got a knot in my stomach as soon as she mentioned it. I just knew in my gut that we did not need to go there, but I didn't want to be the wet rag, so I just ignored that little voice of caution and said, "Sure, let's do it." My fiance was slightly more skeptical of paranormal things at the time than he is now, and my dad is a pretty big skeptic who doesn't believe in ghost activity much, no shadow people or any of that, just basic religious angels/demons, as he's a Christian. My mom likes things for the "creep" factor, but at the time, didn't really buy into stuff like that on a realistic level. We Google the address, punch it into the GPS, and go.

The GPS tells us it'll take us about 20 minutes to get there, but it ends up taking an hour. For some reason, the time on the GPS just keeps steadily going up, the closer we get. It was all country back roads, and some of them felt like the exact same as the road before, and so on. Can't explain it in words, really, but it felt like we were repeating roads, when the road names were different and the GPS showed us in different parts of the map.

We finally reach the address, and there's nothing. It's an empty road intersection. The moment we hit the destination flag on the GPS, the GPS goes black for a moment, and then when the screen comes back on, it says that we're three miles away again. We're all kinda WTF-ing, because we all saw the same thing, but we brush it off and follow the new directions. The new directions take us down the same roads we'd already been on, but I swear to you, no lie at all here, the same directions brought us to a different place. Same thing happens: we reach the flag on the screen, screen flashes black, comes back with new directions saying we're a few miles away again. This happens four times total before we give up, and go in the opposite direction of where the GPS says to go. This brings us to a shady-looking little convenience store. As my dad pulls into the parking lot to get gas, the headlights flash over the woods behind the store - nothing there, just woods. My anxiety is growing to epic proportions and I just want to go home at this point.

We get gas, re-route the GPS to get us home, and turn around. The headlights fall over the exact same spot that they had only a few moments earlier, where all four of us saw full, thick woods. The woods are gone, and there's a clearing now, with a very old gated cemetery, and the gates have been broken and are open a couple of feet. This cemetery was not there a few minutes prior. All four of us have acknowledged that we have no f*cking clue how it just appeared. Being as open to possibilities as I am, I've spoken to some experts who have agreed with me that they believe it was probably a portal of some kind. My mom, for whatever reason I don't know, drives up to the gates and puts the car in park. I'm panicking at this point, and trying to get her to turn around and leave. I swear, I could feel the energy radiating off of this tiny cemetery, and it was making me physically ill. I'm seeing something just inside the gates, and I can't make out what it is and first, but when I made it out, I almost started crying.

I'm used to my visions enough that I can tell what's in the physical realm, and what isn't. This figure wasn't. Clear as day, there was a young girl, looking maybe six or seven years old, standing just inside the gates. She was in a ratty, torn little gray/white nightgown, and looked very tattered, like she'd been living in the woods. She had the sweetest face, albeit filthy and scratched up, and my maternal instincts were going into overdrive despite my fear. I was so conflicted. On the one hand, half of me was screaming to get away. On the other, I felt like I was being compelled to get out of the car and go to her. All I can describe it as, was a voice in my head telling me to go take her hand, and lead her back to the car. Just go help her. You have to help her. You have to take her home with you. She needs you.

I cannot even begin to describe how malicious the voice in my head sounded. I have chills upon chills, just remembering it.

Just as I was reaching for the door handle, to go help her, I felt like I was in some hypnotic state. Like I couldn't control myself. Then she did something that snapped me out of it. She raised one hand to me, palm up, and curled her fingers, like a "come here" motion. As she did it, I realized her eyes were jet black (no white, no iris) and she grinned at me with the most terrifying smile I have ever seen. My panic mode went into overdrive and I literally started pleading with my mother to leave. I was fighting tears, I was so afraid of whatever this thing was. I just knew in my gut that it was not anything I wanted any part of. When she finally turned the car back on and put it in reverse, this look of absolute rage crossed the child's face before she disappeared. When my mom turned around and started driving away, we all noticed that, when we looked behind us, the cemetery was gone again. The four of us barely ever speak of it, because we're all so dumbfounded by whatever happened. It was a year and a half ago, and I only got the courage to tell my fiance about my vision a few weeks ago. I've thought long and hard on it, and I don't know if it was a demon or just some malevolent entity, but what I do know - and I don't know how I know this, I just do - is that it was not a little girl, but something else taking the form of something that the entity somehow knew would affect me, as I have a really big soft spot for children who need help. Don't go play with little dead girls or whatever the f*ck she/it was." TZ

Couple Encounters Bigfoot on the Loma Prieta Grade Trail

A Silicon Valley resident and his girlfriend are hiking on the Loma Prieta Grade Trail in the Forest of Nisene Marks State Park in the summer of 2019 when they encounter a Bigfoot.

I recently came across the following account:

"I’m a Silicon Valley (San Jose, California) native and have frequented the adjacent Santa Cruz Mountains all my life. This incident happened on the Loma Prieta Grade Trail in the Forest of Nisene Marks State Park in the late summer of 2019.

My girlfriend at the time and I were hiking on a Wednesday morning. There were already people around. This is a popular trail as it’s a really beautiful locale. That said, there were also stretches when it was just the two of us. I think it’s a 5 mile hike total and we were about an hour in when my girlfriend had to relieve herself. There were thick trees on both sides, so we looked for a clearing on our right side. We saw not really a path, but an opening, and walked past the tree line, maybe 20-30 feet in. She wanted to be out of sight of anyone who passed by. I tossed her my backpack which had toilet paper and she ducked behind a tree. I walked back down the clearing about halfway, but I could still see her. She’s squatting and I’m just waiting.

Like I said I could see her the whole time. It was darker inside the trees obviously, but I could still see just fine. So I’m standing there with nothing to do but look around me. That’s when I caught the movement of something on my left. There was a medium-sized tree with a very distinct, very dark, hand on it. It was about 10 or so feet away. At first I thought it was someone wearing black gloves. I don't know why but I immediately thought it was some biker pervert looking in on my girlfriend. That’s when I saw the face peek out and EVERYTHING turned upside down.

I can’t say with full certainty but I’d say it was 7-8 feet tall, easy (I’m 6’2). I only saw half of it but it was everything you would expect from a classic description of Bigfoot: big black eyes, large flat nose, dark skinned with blackish-grayish hair. I could see only a hint of a conical skull. Really based on nothing in particular, I feel like I saw a female. Not sure why, I just do. Anyway, it peeked back and forth twice. The eyes were mesmerizing, that's the best way to describe it. They felt like they were looking right through my soul. I wasn’t scared really, but I was definitely in shock - like the way seeing a car accident feels like everything is in slow motion. And let me confirm what others say - there was NO way I had the wherewithal to pull out my phone and take a picture. No way. I was totally engrossed in the moment. This was all in the space of maybe 20-30 seconds.

The second time it peeked out, it looked at me for a few seconds then ducked back behind the tree but also sank like it was going onto the ground. That was the last I saw of it. My girlfriend finally finished and when she came back toward me that was when the fear hit me. Not like I was in danger right at that moment but more like the reality of what I saw finally hit me. I quickly took her hand and pulled her back onto the trail. I didn’t say what I saw, but I said we had to go back ASAP. She was confused but I explained to her what I saw as we walked back (at a much brisker pace than when we came up).

She believed me (she’s Canadian and has an uncle and cousin who claimed to see one when she was growing up), so that was good. She actually wanted to turn around and see if we could find it, but I wasn’t quite in that space just after it happened.

I’d say I was generally a Bigfoot believer prior to this, but not anywhere near a fanatic or anything and it’s not like I set out looking for anything. I know people argue that if you have “Bigfoot on the brain” you’re more likely to jump to that conclusion in certain situations. I did not. In fact the whole hike I was complaining to my girlfriend about my manager at work. Bigfoot was the last thing on my mind.

I’m okay with what happened, but I had strange dreams for weeks after. My girlfriend thought it was a great story and she’d tell our friends over beers and stuff, but I’m not entirely comfortable with people knowing. But like I said, I’m far away from it now to at least share it here.

Yeah it’s possible a (huge) guy in a suit was out there at that exact time and in that exact spot, but I don’t think so. I’m 99% sure I saw a Sasquatch." MJ

Skinwalker Accounts From The Navajo Rez

3 separate accounts of encounters with Skinwalkers on the Dine Navajo reservation in New Mexico and Arizona. One account of running alongside a car, a shapeshifting coyote and an old 'witch' who cursed the jail.

I recently came across the following accounts:

"I dated a Navajo guy for 3.5 years when I was in college. We would go back to the rez pretty frequently to visit his family or for holidays. It is taboo for them to talk about it, but I was able to get the ex-boyfriend to tell me A LOT of stories and lore about skinwalkers, because I was really fascinated by them, and I guess he wasn’t too scared to tell me.

Every person in his family had their own skinwalker experiences, and they were normal, honest people. It’s not something they would make up. So I 100% believe skinwalkers exist.

I possibly had experiences, like hearing footsteps on the roof, and thinking I heard chanting coming from outside the window, but I guess so much time has passed there’s room for doubt in my mind now. The one definite experience I had, which still - I’m the only person who didn’t definitively see the skinwalker, my ex-boyfriend and his family were driving on the road between their houses and the city in a kind of convoy, pretty late at night. Car 1: boyfriend and me. Car 2: boyfriend’s sister and her kids. Car 3: boyfriend’s younger brother. Car 2, the sister calls and says to pull over because there’s something running alongside her car. All 3 vehicles pull over on the side of the road, she’s frightened because she looked outside her window and there was a skinwalker running beside her, but the kids didn’t see it. The younger brother saw it too because he was behind them. We’re all standing overlooking a small valley with very little coverage. Boyfriend and younger brother pull out their guns and decide to shoot to see if they can scare whatever it was. When they shoot, something in the valley does take off running, but it’s too far for me to tell what it is.

That’s as close as I ever was to seeing one. I always kept my eyes peeled when we were driving on the back roads. And it’s been so long (7-9 years) since I’ve heard everyone else’s stories that I feel like I wouldn’t do them justice." AR

-----

"This happened to my big brother when he was 15. We grew up on the Navajo reservation in Arizona.

He was coming home from hanging out with a friend and it was probably around 2 am because his curfew was 11 and my guardian had been up a while. I know this because she was talking to my mom in the kitchen and super angry/loud and I stayed up listening to them argue.

When he came in my guardian started to tell him off but stopped because he was crying and talking in a hysterically frightened tone. Apparently he came in the back gate and saw a coyote standing propped up on its hind legs against the back door looking in the window. This wasn’t so odd because it was Arizona, but when he came closer the coyote turned its head to look at him and as it did, it turned its whole body and started walking toward him on two legs like a man. My brother swears it looked too big for a coyote as it came at him. He ran back out the gate and came around to the front door.

To this day he still cries talking about it. He’s convinced he encountered a skinwalker watching our family.

I also remember a wicked looking eagle following me everywhere I went up there, so much so that as a kid I talked to it and considered it one of my closest friends. And I know it sounds crazy but as a kid I remember telling it a really crappy joke I’d loved and ‘hearing’ laughter in my head." FA

-----

"I live near the Navajo reservation in New Mexico and good friends with quite a few natives and you are absolutely right. Its taboo to speak of the skinwalker. More often than not you will just hear them being referred to as witches.

One of my friend's dad was tribal police and he told me a story about an old jail on the old rez of Santa Ana. In the early 1900s that there was kids getting sick and elderly dying and that the tribe knew it was a witch so they went looking for him and found him in the woods. They actually caught it an old dirty man who was surprisingly strong. They brought him to the jail. They had and put him in his own section and over the years he was forgotten about, until the 80s when they were moving everything to a new jail and they found his bones, and curses carved into the walls.

Now to the part my friend's dad had personal experience with. As a tribal police officer he would often deal with unruly people and they would take these guys to the old jail and lock them in the witches cell. He told me they would be in there for 20 minutes at the maximum before begging to talk and get out of the cell." FW

Horrifying Deadly Cryptid Encounter (Possible Wendigo) in Central Montana

A horrifying account of an encounter with an unknown cryptid, possibly a Wendigo, at a Girl Scout camp in central Montana. The result was the death of a counselor and a terrible maiming of one of the girls.

I recently received the following account:

"This occurred in 2008. I was 10 years old and a Girl Scout in central Montana. They did a cool thing every summer for two weeks at a time. I was super excited, because mostly the only thing we had done was stay after school to talk and make arts and crafts. For two weeks every summer; a bus system would go around to a bunch of small towns in the area and round up Girl Scouts at 7 in the morning, and then drop them back home at 7 at night. It took two hours to drive to the camp ground this was situated in.

It was a really obscure campground, with a single road in and out. There was forest for miles and miles in every direction, except for south; which was where the road led. If you drove about an hour south; you'd see farms and then the small town I lived in.

The campground itself was a huge field, with a lodge in the middle. The lodge was two stories and old, but just barely big enough to fit a small gift shop run by a nice old Native American lady; a mess hall, and a huge kitchen. A staircase led to a balcony that went all around and faced down into the mess hall. There where a bunch of beds there for us to stay the night.

Around the huge field where trails scattered to what we called 'stations.' Every mile or so, a small campground would come into view. Each small troop of Girl Scouts (sorted by age, level, town, and then school) would have a station to themself as a way point to relax and gather after nature hikes. Every two miles or so was a porta potty.

I remember my station was one of the nicer ones, and we had a small troop. The station itself was within twenty feet of a porta potty, which we decorated with stay out signs so no one would use it (it was OUR porta potty, that's for sure). It also had a sturdy wooden rain cover over the picnic table, a fire pit (we only used it once) and a small dirt clearing that we played in. The girls in my group where Emily, my next door neighbor (we were best friends at the time) Samantha, Alice, Lizzy, and then Princess. Our group leader was Ms. Malinda, a really chill senior.

Most of the day we would hike around, looking for trails and plants and sometimes even making flower necklaces from wildflowers in the field (at least ones that hadn't been cut by a lawn mower a few weeks before) and gimping.

Gimping was really important to us, and I feel it is relatively important to the story as well. Gimping was more known to us as weaving, not the computer program. We would go to the lodge every day and depending on how many 'points' we earned from our hikes and activities, we could buy a color or two as a group and weave these little strips for our backpacks. Each day a single troop did the same pattern and colors, which helped keep track of everyone and if someone lost a gimp, it could be easily returned. The more gimp you had on your backpack, the more authority you had.

There used to be a guy who would walk around and check on the groups every once and awhile. He was super nice, and he always wore these dark black hiking shoes, white socks, shorts, and his army green backpack. It was covered, COVERED in gimp, so everyone looked up to him and respected him. I think he was a park ranger or something, but I don't remember seeing his badge. He was really nice, and everyone trusted him. If he wasn't a park ranger, he must have been a frequent camper or a Scout's grandpa or dad.

That's pretty much all of the important details out of the way.

So, one day at the end of the first week; I am begging and begging to my mom to let me stay. She was working a part time job, and taking care of me and my two year old brother. My dad was on his second mission in Iraq, which made her even more stressed. Finally, once my mom heard that Emily's mom was giving in, she allowed me to go under the condition that I made sure to brush my teeth and put on a lot of bug spray.

I very happily agreed, and rushed off to my room to pack everything as soon as possible.

The next morning, with envelopes in hand, me and Emily got on the bus. When we arrived, we were jumping around Ms. Malinda like monkeys. She seemed happy for us, and showed the envelopes to the old lady at the gift shop. The old lady smiled at us, and we got to choose our own gimp colors to work on that afternoon while we waited on our bunks. She lead us upstairs to where some older girls were cleaning up their bunks, and we got to choose ours. We were really excited.

That night, after all of the kids who weren't staying lef, we all went out with four other group leaders and the gimp guy. We where each sorted into groups of three (I was with Emily and a Cadette named Jessie) and were told that we were going to play some version of hide and seek. We were each given maps of the area, flashlights, and glow sticks. I think that if we were tagged, we had to go back to the field and wait until the horn was sounded. The last team standing won. Afterwards, we were going to have a huge fire and roast smores.

That sounded good to us, and we all split off. We lead Jessie to our station, but after we realized it was much too crowded, we slipped out and started going further. We planned on hiding in Jessie's station. It was farther out, and would be much harder to find, so we were fine with it. The gimp guy and the other leaders were supposed to be out monitoring the edge of the campground.

Halfway into the game, it started getting dark. This is when we arrived at Jessie's camp. Me and Emily where kind of getting scared at this point, so we stayed close to her and sat at the picnic table, while she showed us how to gimp a swirly design. We were set on sitting everyone else out.

By the time it was dark enough that we had to turn our flashlights on, I could see Jessie was getting a bit nervous. She was a bit pale, which made me and Emily super quiet all of the sudden. We had been out here for an hour, maybe an hour and a half. "Is a group coming?" Emily asked. Jessie shushed us both, looking out into the woods with her flashlight.

We all sat, pretty stiff for a good ten minutes. Me and Emily stopped gimping and looked around too, ready to spring up and bolt if a group came out of the bushes.

That was when we heard a growling sound. It was low, and if we had been talking we wouldn't have heard it. I felt my little heart start beating, fast. "Is it a cougar?" I asked softly, looking at Jessie. "Shh!" She whispered. "If it is, I need you guys to start screaming and hold out your arms, okay?" We both nodded, now thoroughly scared.

We all jumped and squeaked when we saw movement, and I remember dropping my gimp. I quickly leaned down to pick it up. That's when I heard Jessie gasp. I quickly looked up and froze.

It was huge. It looked like a bear, but it stood on its back legs like a weird looking deer. It's face looked vaguely human, and it looked like its mouth had been ripped open. It's face was covered in blood. It had a longish neck, thick shoulders, and looked deathly skinny. I could barely make out tiny horns poking out from scraggly brown hair. It's hair was falling out in clumps. Its arms were much too long, its knees bent. It looked kind of like it had paws, but I couldn't see that well because Jessie kept the flashlight pointed at its face.

There were two things that scared me about it the most though, as if I wasn't already terrified enough. It's eyes where a milky white color, and in its bloody claws was the gimp man's bag. He never took off that bag. EVER.

We stared at each other for what felt like ages, and I realized that it wasn't growling, it was breathing. It sounded like it had a frog in its throat, but it physically couldn't cough.

When it stepped forward, Jessie screamed and pushed us under the picnic table. We both started screaming too as she practically covered us with her body; throwing the flashlight out first, attempting to hit it as it started trying to claw away at the concrete table. Then she threw the glow sticks, and whatever we could scrounge in our hiking bags. Books, first aid kits, gimp balls, rocks, bags of food; anything.

It's really hard for me to think about this all, because it was just terrifying. Most kids are scared of something under their bed, but having something like this throw itself at you from the far reaches of a forest you had once thought safe, in the middle of nowhere, it's a whole different nightmare.

It was making a broken, cracked wailing or howling sound every few minutes, before grunting and growling and heavily breathing as it tried to squeeze its claws and head under the table, or through the holes of the seats, or even through the holes of concrete that had been chipped out of the table. We were all still screaming too, and that was when it stopped.

We all went deathly quiet, and I peeked out past Jessie's arm and saw it raise its head, before looking around and marching around the table. It looked at the table every once and awhile, and by now we were all just crying and covering our own mouths to stay quiet. It paused, and looked back.

I can still see its eyes. Just thinking about it makes me pause and shudder. Suddenly, it bounds towards the table and over it, almost like a dog. But when it landed again on the other side, it took off on two legs, and then on both its arms and legs, and then on just its legs again.

We waited there for an hour in pitch blackness, under that picnic table, until an Ambassador found us. We were all shaking and crying and trying to explain, even though Jessie was 13 years old she was terrified. That just scared us more. We were rushed back to the lodge, and we didn't do a fire pit that night.

I didn't see Jessie again after that, but I heard some other Seniors talking about a bear attack or something, and that her back was all messed up. Me and Emily curled up on the bottom bunk under the sheets.

We went home the next day, and apparently everything had been already explained to worried parents. I remember that before I got on the bus, a real park ranger looking guy pulled both me and Emily aside to ask about the bear. We tried to tell him, that was NOT a bear, it was DEFINITELY NOT a bear; but he didn't seem to believe us.

He asked us about the gimp man too, holding up a picture and asking us if we'd seen him or anything to do with him. We told him we'd seen him yesterday night, and that the 'bear' had been holding his bag. We told him about where Jessie's camp was, and we both got stickers and where ushered onto the bus.

To this day, I'm really thankful to Jessie. If it weren't for her quick thinking, we could have died in those woods that night. I haven't heard about the gimp man since either. I don't know if he's alive or not, and I haven't been back to that camp since. I now live in Canada, far away.

It feels better to get it out in words, and gives me some peace of mind." SY

Was A Shunka Warak’in Seen Near Laredo, Texas?

3 young men observed a hyena-like cryptid near Laredo, Texas in the early 1980s. Over the years, one of the witnesses firmly believes that this creature was a relict Ringdocus or Shunka Warak’in.

I recently received the following account:

"When I was about 17, my brother, a friend, and I were hunting in the wilderness behind our subdivision, just south of Laredo, Texas. The area was being developed, so we were walking through wide swaths - about fifty yards - of rough dirt that had been bulldozed through the mesquite, huisache and palo blanco trees on the rolling hills. On either side of these swaths, that would one day be streets, were huge piles of dead trees, cactus and grass.

It was a gray day, rainy and cold. I think it was December 1983 or January 1984. We were on our way home, walking downhill, in the middle of one of these open, dirt swaths. Then, we saw it.

At the very base of the hill, about 30-40 yards away, a large, black canid, a dog-like creature, ran from our left to our right. Leaving the tangled brush on one side and dashing into the tree pile on the other side. The way the animal moved and its shape made me think it was a hyena. However, hyenas are not black.

My brother and I just watched, as our friend raised his .22 rifle and fired all of his ammo at the running creature. He didn’t hit anything; he rarely did. He was always a terrible shot and tended to use “volume in place of accuracy.”

We saw the creature for maybe ten or fifteen seconds, as it loped across the opening. I never felt frightened, as it never looked towards us. It was just on the move. After it had passed, I turned to my brother, who must have been twelve or thirteen and asked: “What did you see?”

“Hyena.” He said.

“Yeah, me too.” I said.

We made our way home, and later we continued hunting in those woods, never seeing that creature again. I had forgotten about it until I was in grad school in 2010.

I was reading on Loren Coleman’s cryptid site, and he had posted a story about the “Shunka Warak’in,” a rare Native American cryptid. A specimen had been shot in the 19th century and its taxidermied body had been displayed in a general store for some time before being ”lost.” The article was about how the specimen had been found, and when I saw the photo, I thought, “That’s what we saw.”

I emailed Coleman, saying that I believed that my brother, our friend and myself, were the last living people who had seen a Shunka, relating the same story as above. I received no response.

I am a native Texan. My brothers and I have been lifelong hunters with guns and bows. We have hunted all over the state and know the animals that are in our woods. This was not one of them. It was not a coyote, nor was it a Mexican Wolf. It was not a dog. After much research, I think it may have been something like a relict ringdocus, a hyena-like canid that existed in the Americas in the past, and is believed to have gone extinct about 10,000 years ago. Additionally, I am not an idiot bullshitter, we have plenty of those in Texas. I possess a Degree in Anthropology from the University of Texas at Austin and a Master’s Degree in Rhetoric and Composition from Texas State University-San Marcos. Prior to that, I served as a paratrooper in the 82d Airborne Division for a few years." AB

Multiple Bigfoot Encounters in North Alabama

A reader in north Alabama describes his encounters with several different Bigfoot over his lifetime. Apparently, he has more incidents to tell me. I look forward to it.

I recently received the following account:

"Hey Lon. I have lived in north Alabama my entire life. My family told me their stories when I was a child. I am 52 now and have had some of the same experiences. Mom told me her story of when she was growing up.

There are 3 huge caves inside Bankhead National Forest just behind my aunt's old home off CR93. All of the kids would go down to play in the creek and an adult or 2 would sometimes accompany them. Mom said one day as they were there she looked up and saw a large hairy man staring at her from a distance. He let out what she described as a low moan and walked off. The area is a hard hike. The largest cave is like standing on top of a 2 story building with the other 2 smaller. All 3 have waterfalls in wet times.

My 1st encounter was at 18 around the same area. I was headed home about 9 pm when something large and hairy jumped out of the woods onto the road. I stopped dead in my tracks, tires squealing and its hand touched my hood. It looked at me for about 6 seconds and walked away. I sit there for awhile to try and figure out what I saw. I told mom and dad. Mom said I'd seen 'Ole' Bugger.'

My next was in the same forest. I was 21 and hunting squirrel. I heard knocking about 25 yds. ahead of me. I walked slowly to see what it was and saw a small hairy thing beating on an oak. I was about 5 yds. from it and smelled something hard to describe. About the time I got close a twig snapped under my foot. The thing turned around and looked at me. It let out a sharp scream, followed by some very loud screaming howls. I was so scared at what I was hearing that I ran to my truck to leave. I was also having rocks hurled at me from several locations.

When I was 41 I lived in Phil Cambell, Alabama on Rail Splitter Rd. off 243. My dog Buddy went hunting with me behind the house. When we got past the pond he froze, ears down and tail tucked under him. He was a half Lab and German Shepard mix. I took a step forward and he ran up the hill to my right. He kept the same composure but was wagging his head as if to tell me get over here. As I took a step to him a huge rock came through the trees about 10 or 12 ft. above my head between me and him. Buddy left me in the woods.

I am living in Colbert County now on 2 acres outside the City limits of Littleville. It's wooded area. I was looking for my chickens that were usually on the front porch at noon. I walked out the front door and went around the right side of the house. Something told me to be quiet. I went to the backyard to the shed and as I went around the left side of it I looked out at the end of a 1/2 acre garden spot at the tree line I saw a tall tannish orange figure looking up and down the tree line. I watched it walk away across the garden into the woods to my right. It was at least 8 ft tall. I have more to tell but there way to many to fit in 1 email." DB

Possible Sasquatch Encounter in Seminole County, Oklahoma

A man observes a large brown-haired cryptid cross in front of his vehicle one night in Seminole County, Oklahoma. He is an avid outdoorsman and believes that it was a Sasquatch.

I was referred to the following account that was posted on social media:

"For some background, I used to live in Oklahoma. More towards the central part of the state near I-40. I grew up there and have spent most of my life there until recently (job relocation). I also had about a 25 mile commute to drive everyday.

I used to work a mid shift at a radio station. So my work schedule was from 4pm to midnight. I used to drive home in the dark all the time. Sometimes I would end up working overnight too and come home in the early morning. It’s not uncommon to see lots of wildlife in this part of the state. I don’t know how many times I’ve had to dodge deer and coyotes on the way home.

I will also say that I’m no stranger to the woods or the wildlife within. I’m an avid hunter and fisherman. I’ve seen elusive animals here (mink, river otter, black bear, heard mountain lion), but I don’t know what I saw one night.

It was like any other night I had got in my car at a little past midnight tired and ready to go home. Started driving and got out of Sasakwa. I would also say that the roads that I had to drive were very curvy. It’s because there is a lot of native land in Oklahoma (this was Seminole County) and the roads often have to weave around that and random oil leases.

So after the curves in the road it straightens out because about 2 miles ahead there is an intersection with a different highway. So when you come out of the last curve the road goes up a large hill and then drops down into a low, but very wide valley. The width of the valley is probably about a mile wide.

So when I topped the hill my headlights shined in the bottom of the valley. That’s when I saw whatever it was. It was just on the incline where my light just barely reached. It was large and brown in the middle of the road. I kinda thought it was just a glare of my glasses until it moved. It went off the left side of the road.

I don’t know what it was, but I saw it for about 4 seconds. I could tell that it was hairy and it was very big. If I had to take a guess I would say at least 7 feet tall. I could not see appendages that well but I could see some sway because when it got off the road it reached out to part the grass. The ditch was full of about 7 foot tall grass and river cane. After it was off the road I could not see it.

My brain had trouble determining what it was. The only thing I could rationalize would be a bear, but it was not the right color. Or it could have been a horse on its hind legs, but it wouldn’t have been able to reach out like it did.

It didn’t scare me except for the fact that I thought I would have to dodge it in my car. I really want some opinions of what it was. My best guess is that it was Sasquatch. Part of our state is known for it. The main cryptid for our state is the octopus, but it definitely wasn’t it." HT

Reptilian 'Hunting Party' Observed in Montrose County, Colorado

A boy witnesses a landed circular craft from his bedroom window. There were several Reptilian aliens with weapons wandering about. The witness believes that this was a type of hunting party.

The following account was in one of my older databases. I don't have a witness identification, so it's possible that it was reported to MUFON:

"I was just a boy when I had my encounter. My family and I were living in small town on the west end of Montrose County called Uravan, Colorado. In the early morning June 1969 I was awakened by the barking of the family dog name Tippi outside my bedroom window. Tippi never really barked unless someone or something was in the yard that wasn't supposed to be. I remember waking up out of a dead sleep and hearing Tippi constantly barking and wondering why my older brother, whose sleeping bunk was above me, and my parents sleeping in the bedroom joining ours weren't getting up to tell Tippi to be quiet.

Finally I had enough and decided turn over in my bed and look out the window. When I did I couldn't believe what I saw. There it was, a small circular ship with its landed gear down and a hatch with stairs folded down to the ground. Next to the ship where green lizard-looking beings. Their eyes were bright yellow and there were some tanks on their backs along with another bag. They didn't have fingers but webbed hands with what looked like bow and arrow type weapons they were holding. Their bodies were thin and scaly, even their legs. Their feet had V-shaped toes and looked incredibly tall and strong.

I remember thinking to myself this was some kind of hunting party, because my dad was a bow hunter himself and that kind of gave me the idea. I could tell they were searching for something. Then all the sudden another being came out of the ship. He was much bigger than the others and seemed to give the others orders. Tippi again began her barking and the being closest to our house seemed to be upset with her barking. I could see it looking over at Tippi, finally it started walking over to her. I then jumped out of my bed and headed into my parent's room to wake my mother up. I remember how hard it was to wake her and she acted like she was on heavy drugs or something. I couldn't get her wake up. Finally was able to get her up and told something was going on outside that it was going hurt Tippi. She still didn't wake up all the way and was very sluggish.

Well, my mother followed me to bedroom. Once there I showed her what I was seeing outside. I don't know what they did to my mom but she couldn't see them at all, the ship either. All she wanted to do is go back to her bedroom and sleep. Finally my mother got up from my bed and told me crawl to other side my bed away from the window, so I did what I was told.

The last thing remember before going to sleep was looking over in my closet where the window casts light on my clothes and I saw a dark figure trying to look in the window. No other sound came from Tippi. My mother wasn't drinking or taking anything that would cause sedation. I firmly believe they did something to make my family sleep. It just didn't work on me for some reason.

In the morning the first thing I did was to run out check on Tippi in my PJs & all. Sure enough, she was lying in my front yard waiting for kids to come play with her. She acted like nothing happened the night before."
