A listener writes “July, 2019 I was promoted at work. My company had a struggling restaurant that needed help in Waynesville, NC.
The owner even offered to pay relocation so I was really excited. So anyway I find this place right outside Franklin, NC nestled in the Nantahala national Forrest a log cabin styled double wide on 31 acres of private land.
In the past it was a vacation home and was a rental 10 years prior. But had up until this time sat vacant. I met with the property manager and instantly fell in love. As we spoke about the possibility of renting this place an elk walked through the yard. I was sold…it was the pinnacle of my life. Everything in mine at this point was amazing. Anyway so I signed a 1 year lease and was set to move in September 1st of 2019. So we packed up and moved in and for a few days it was heaven on earth. Then an unfortunate event changed all that overnight. I got word my x wife was cheating…even worse it was with with coworker. I was devastated….it broke me. I swirled in depression, hurt and confusion.
Called her out on it and her answer was to leave and take her four children who I helped raise. Were a week into this new life and bam…everything vanished. So anyway I woke up one morning and noticed 3 stacked stones on my deck. Confused but figured the x had been by to grab belongings and one of the kids did it. Well I couldn’t shake this depression and started to drink. Drink to forget….drink to embrace the pain…I’m not sure….but it didn’t help matters or emotions. Anyway sadly I would lay in bed and cry myself to sleep…asking God why…why me? I guess I had dosed off and was startled by a sound outside my window…and could see the motion sensor was tripped. I peel down the binds and there was a human like figure looking back at me…the face it gave was that of sympathy…then to an oh no you see me face. This lasted on the better end of 7-10 seconds before she ran off. I honestly thought I was dreaming….but her face was burnt in to my brain I couldn’t forget it.
The reason I referred it to a her is merely for the fact she had breasts as well as feminine facial and body features. I sat there a moment the motion light now off. Shake my head like honestly I’m losing my mind. So I drifted back a sleep woke up the next morning headed to work….but all I could think about was her face….so I end up leaving work early get home and just walked around the house. It was wet from the rains and very muddy so didn’t make out prints. Honestly just chalked it up to a mid life crisis ….after all I just had my world smashed by someone I truly loved and invested in. Sat out on the deck and nothing eventful happened. Next day I had off of work so I’m outside on the deck again playing with this app that does animal calls on a blue tooth speaker. So I made a few calls…and got too a cyote cry…and less then 1 minute later I got one back…but it seemed off. So I try another call and it was an injured rabbit….and less than a minute I got a simular call back…and that sent chills up my spine. Because injured rabbits aren’t going to call back…so what did? Thought maybe hunters messing with me? Looked around the property didn’t see anything or anyone. Called it a day and headed in the house to sit and watch TV. About two hours later I’m watching TV and motion censor light goes off and a big shadow is casted catching my attention…I jump up thinking it’s an elk or bear. Get to the window nothing there. Think nothing of it until I heard the woop, woop, woop….such an odd sound…started rationalizing maybe it’s bird….no sooner did I here what sounded like 2 people arguing….sounded like they were down the mountain as there were a couple that lived 1/4 down the road. It would fade in and out at times get louder and got so loud I honestly jumped up and went outside.
It stopped….I go back inside and it started again…this time is was loud enough that I ran out and scream get off my property now. Went back in and proceeded to lay down…then bam I’d started hearing it again…jumped up and grabbed my 9 mil and popped a shot off In case it was hunters illegally hunting. Went back inside it seemed to have ceased.
The last time I stayed in that house was one friday….got home super late roughly 9pm…exhausted Went in and just plopped on the bed. About ten minutes of self talking myself to get up and grab a shower…I hear what sounded like to me someone at my window…motion censor goes off…and bam all I can think is her…she’s back…hit the blinds quick…I catch something darting in the tree line. now I’m like wtf is going on. Went on the deck and just looking around….crazy thing was I was not afraid of her…whoever she was….there was a gentleness to her. I can’t explain it.
Anyway all of a sudden I hear what to me sounds like a woman screaming bloody murder then a real low growl followed by mashed sentences that went high in low in tone but made no sense. Another woman screaming sound and branches or sticks breaking as if someone or something is being chased. This was super close like happening within 30 feet of my home. I grabbed a real flashlight and my gun and walked out side…highlighting the tree line I saw something that forever changed my life…I saw the biggest human, animal, alien whatever you want to label it…..bigfoot, hairy man…this dude was 10ft…tall and 4ft wide.”

I live in Franklin, NC and hunt in the Nantahala. I’m just curious as to where this area is? Wonder if the original poster could reach out? Just very curious.

I’m in Western NC as well, with them on our rural property. Would love to hear him in an episode. I sent my info to Wes ages ago, with no response. I have odd things happening on the property, inside and out. I traced the sasquatch thru the national forest along a power line that’s on the back of our property. I regularly have footprints on the outside, and it all started with a house slap and rooftop ramblings. Since I’m a single female, it was a very frightening time. I think I’m so accustomed to it now that it rarely alarms me anymore.

If you are ever down for it I would love to see some of those foot prints! That would be amazing!
