A listener from South Carolina writes “Around 1999. I was taking my usual long walk over parts of our land along an old dirt road I have walked since I was a kid. I am 54. I got the weirdest feeling that I had to tell my wife when I got home.
I passed a pine tree that was covered in Honey Suckers, briars and poison ivy, like I have done literally hundred of times, but this time it was much different. I did not see, hear nor smell anything different than usual but I could NOT walk more than a few steps at a time before I had to look back. I KNOW something was watching me.
I have spent all my life in the “woods”. Hunting and fishing was all we had to do, besides farm work, when I was a kid. Heard stories but never believed.
One day my son and I were walking that same road. He was about 7 at the time. I had never told him any of this. He was a few feet behind me when he yelled that “somebody just threw a limb at me”. He ran back and there WAS a limb lying in road. I passed telling him anything.
Then around 2005 I had a surprise birthday party for my wife. I had to set it up in my shop so it would be a surprise. Every time I came outside of shop there was a little red light shining from the end of that road. Like some stars, I could only see it if I was not looking directly at it. Again, I never said anything to anyone.( BTW…the dirt road is about 75 yards across a county road.)
Enter around 2006. Hot June day, a little after 1:00 pm….broad daylight. We went on a Sunday ride. Very desolate road a mile from us. Running 25mph max. IT walked across the road. I could have ran over it if I wanted to. It was that close. NO Bigfoot here. This thing was about 6 feet tall…long “Flowing” (think Afgan Hound Dog) hair. The color of dead pine needles. Its walk was too strange also. It looked like it was hopping but yet way too smooth of a stride. I am 6ft 1in. about 175 pounds. This thing was about my height but slightly bent over at the waist. It had to be very skinny (poor) because it was covered in this long flowing “HAIR”. There is no way this was a “suit”. I am somewhat tall and lean and if I put on a suit of hair like that I would be massive.
From then til Spring 2008. (I had a house fire so it ended) we played games almost nightly at the end of that road. I would be in shop and it would call me out there. The first time it ran. I never saw it but it sounded huge crashing through the woods. From then on we played writing in the sand. Much more on that. Long story short. A little girl was visiting my neighbor and walked to branch. She and her little brother saw him again just a couple months ago.. It’s still here.”
