Is now available in the podcast section. A listener writes “Hello Wes, I had an encounter in late December 2014 at my parents house in (edited location) Southern CA. My wife and I had gone down to visit my parents one evening and had gone outside to take our New puppy out to do his business and have a cigarette. We had been outside for a few minutes when we could smell this rancid putrid aweful odor. Now before we could smell anything I noticed everything had gone silent except for some rustling down the hill. My parents house sits on top of a hill on their property. Property is about 5 acres and the neighbors properties are about the same or more depending. Most of the property is old growth oak trees.

My wife asked me if I could smell that and I responded yes. Now I’m a Hunter and an avid outdoorsman so I figured it was a cougar. I told my wife to grab the dog and go inside. As we are walking inside I could here large bipedal foot falls at the base of the hill paralleling us. Now when I go to my parents I carry a gun the entire time I’m on the property due to wildlife. Now since my parents had moved there a year before my dad had been telling me he thought someone was coming onto the property at night. He had placed an alarm sensor at the edge of the driveway that would ding in the house anytime something would cross it. It would go off so much he ended up turning it off. So I went inside the house grabbed a flashlight and told my wife to stay put with our daughter and I was gonna go investigate.

I walked back outside and started making my way down the hill, gun in one had flashlight in the other. Now i don’t spook easy but from the time I opened the door that smell was twice as strong as before and I felt like I was being watched. I made it down to the lower half of the property and I saw a shadow move behind a tree. I shined my light at the tree and yelled for whoever or whatever it was to come out. I got nothing. So I started making a semi circle pattern clockwise around the tree and as I got to where I could see what was behind it there was nothing there. So I felt a little dumb thinking I’m imagining things when I turn around and about 20 yards in front of me is this huge thing standing there kinda behind another tree. And I froze. It was black in color. Not super long hair but was covered in head to toe except for the face. The face looked like a person but with a flatter nose. Its skin on it’s face was gray. It had no expression on it’s face. This went on about 15 seconds when I heard the front door of the house open.

This snapped me out of my frozen position when I heard my wife yell down to me. This thing looked up the hill looked back at me and just sauntered away towards the neighbors property looking at me the whole time. When it stepped over the barbed wire fence I bolted for the house. I’ve never ran so fast in my life. My parents and My wife were standing on the porch when I got to the top of the hill. My mom said you’re as white as a ghost. I told them I was fine and walked inside. This is the first time I’m even writing this down and my hands are shaking. Thanks for listening Wes”
