A listener writes “Hey Wes, I was wondering if you’ve heard of any sightings reported near Ottawa, Ontario, Canada recently. About two weeks ago, my girlfriend and I were driving down a forest trail and experienced something we still can’t explain.
We passed a walking trail that led deeper into the woods and thought we saw something, so we stopped to take a closer look. Standing in the middle of the trail was a large, dark figure. It was hard to tell exactly how tall it was, but I’d estimate somewhere between 6’5” and 7’5”. We couldn’t make out any clear facial features, and I had this strong, uneasy feeling that something wasn’t right.
We stayed there for a few minutes watching it, and it didn’t move at all. Eventually, we decided to leave. On our way back, I checked to see if it was still there but it was gone. The feeling of being watched stuck with me until we were completely out of the area.
Have you heard of anything like this happening around here? And if so, are these kinds of encounters known to be dangerous? Honestly, it shook me up pretty bad, and I’ve been nervous about going back into the woods since.
Sorry for the long message I just wanted to share what happened and see if you’ve come across anything similar.”
