My brother yelled “Run!”

A listener writes “I’ve long been a fan of cryptozoology, but nothing prepared me for what I and my brother experienced this past week.

After watching a Sasquatch documentary, I told my brother (more knowledgeable about these things) about things I saw in the woods I used to traverse growing up.

We went back there, caught three fish, and hung them 10 feet up by a stringer. We split their guts so they’d smell.

Two days later, the live tree branch was split at the root like a banana peel, the stringer was still tethered to the branch, and the fish were gone without a trace.

We set more bait with bacon. As we left, my brother heard something coming from a thicker part of the forest.

As we gazed, we found ourselves in a staring contest with two shadowy heaps of figures who appeared to be crouching, staring at us. Their height was concealed by the crouch and the fallen tree they used for cover, but their girth could not be hidden.

They were built like linebackers, jet black with broad shoulders, no neck, and a cone shaped head.

We stared at them, unsure if they were a trick of the eye somehow.

Then the one in the right moves, ducking to the right behind a tree. My brother yelled “run” and as we did, a foul stench filled the air.

The next day, the bacon was untouched, but the fowl stench and eerie quiet returned.

We left and did not go back.

I’d be happy to tell much more, including further details and the things I’d seen from my past that spurred our baiting it, if you’d like to hear it.”

    That’s a very good account of their encounter (s). I wonder where this is (what state) and when this happened. Hope they’ll be on SC soon. Thx Wes.
