I Couldn’t Move A Muscle

A listener writes “Hi Wes, it’s been 17and a half years since my encounter back in late Aug of 2003 in Glen, NH. My 5 and a half year old son and his mother and I decided to take him up to Story Land.

It’s an amusement park for children.We decided to get a camping spot for 2 nights and enjoy the end of summer camping for the first time with my son. First night was fine and the next day we spent the whole day at the park, very hot day so we were all pretty tired so when we got back.

We just made a fire and done food and relaxed, the camp spot we had we ideal. Right to left and behind us was a river that was close enough to us that we could here it flowing constantly, it was about 8 to 10 feet wide and very rocky and we were right at the bend of it.

So that 2nd night my son and his mom went to bed, I stayed up and waited for the fire to go out, afterwards I went into the tent and just laid there not being able to sleep. I have always had issues sleeping in a tent even up to this day when I overnight hike I am lucky to get a couple hours sleep….anyway I was just laying there, I can’t fall asleep so I am laying there eyes wide open listening to the sounds outside..the River the crickets etc etc then a hand goes across the tent as if done one is just walking by and sticks there hand out and runs it along the tent!

My eyes widened and I picked my head up and saw the finger impressions go from one side to the other! During the whole sequence I was thinking to myself who the hell is pulling a prank in the middle of the night! I was ready to get up and see who was crazy enough to do that and yell at them until I heard the guttural growl grunt that scared me stiff and shook my insides to where I froze solid in fear.

I couldn’t move a muscle I turned my head slightly to the left to see if my son or girlfriend woke up and they were fast asleep, I really wanted to talk about the grunt with you because it wasn’t loud at all but went right through my insides.

Everything around the forest after that was dead quiet and I never been so scared in my life to this day. That night or should I say early morning I was up till the birds were chirping and finally fell asleep but I just buried that unexplained encounter for years and told nobody till the winter of 2020 after hearing episode 630 the Boneyard.

It has always stayed with me.”

    Crap! That’s new. Them brushing their hand along your tent… Jesus!! That’s too much. I too have laid in a tent more than once, less than six and been completely frozen in fear due to this things. I even get a little nauseous thinkin about it. I gotta quite camping….

    Being from New Hampshire I know exactly where Glen is,lot’s of mountains and forests. I can believe that sasquatch can live very comfortably up in that area without being seen or bothered..Glad that this man and his family got out of there safely because knowing the area it could’ve gone horribly wrong quickly.
