A listener writes “I live in the hills of the Smokey Mountains. I was a non- believer definitely! Until I spotlighted one drinking from my Creek 3:30 a.m. one night I woke up from a dead sleep and had a feeling of danger or something very wrong.
I went to my back door and have a giant spotlight I shined it towards my Creek which is always full of deer in my back field, never seen a bear the six years I’ve lived here and I saw something furry at the creek 90 yards from my back door drinking and I thought wow there’s a bear and then it stood up and I saw a huge hands that hung past its knees big hands!! black furry sleek mahogany-ish dark hair about 12 in maybe hanging off the body it was probably about 4 ft across about 8 ft tall extremely muscular look like a bodybuilder, it leaned its head back and let out a scream that sent ripples through my body to my head all the way down to my feet like a base on the stereo turned up too loud.
I felt my organs vibrate I couldn’t not believe what I was seeing so I shined the light on it again it screamed for 30 to 45 seconds straight without taking a breath so long so loud the loudest sound I think I’ve ever heard in my life maybe besides air siren.

This would be more alarming than I’d like to imagine. To have this happen in your back yard…
