Chris writes “May 2025, I’ve got a wonderful wife and beautiful young kids. Been a couple years since I’ve been in those woods but I only live 2 miles as a crow flies from that property, and have lived here for about 10 years. Also, 2-3 miles down the road is 4,200 acres of state forest. A large majority of its topography making deer hunting a real pain in the ass since no motor vehicles are allowed, so it’s not that heavily used, at least like lots of other public hunting lands I’ve been on.
As they so often do young kids take over the bed in the middle of the night to be with mom, quite literally kicking me out to the couch in the living room. Our living room has a large picture window displaying the awesome valley we live in. About 4:00am I woke up to light on the paneling wall to the right of me, bright light. We live out of town, traffic is low no street lights and we are elevated from the road to where it wouldn’t be headlights. It wouldn’t be headlights from any traffic on the opposing road either, it was unusual and it woke me up.
I stood up and looked out my bay window, across the valley, I’m not great with yardage but I’d say at least 300 yards away, there was a bright white round light with 4 upward outward pointed beams emanating from it. It looked like it was not far off the ground, and it was definitely off of the ground. I stood and watched it for a few seconds kind of making sure I was awake and not seeing things.
I grab my phone to take a video, but I was just too freaked out by it to go outside onto the porch. So I get close to and rest my phone on the pane of the window for steadiness and I swear as soon as I hit the red record button on my phone the beams instantly stopped going outward and just the light was left, and it looked like an orb. I recorded it through the glass which I’m sure made the quality much less than what it could’ve been, but I was just I don’t know, I knew I didn’t want this thing to see me or hear me or something. I was genuinely shaken. I watched and recorded this thing for a while and it just remained. Which made me even more uneasy, so I went and not unlike a scared puppy back into the bed and tried to fall asleep/contribute it to sleepwalking. But the videos were there in the morning so here we are.

The main and most recent experience that I wanted to share occurred on my birthday two years ago (Feb. 17, 2024) I live in Southeast Alabama and was driving with my mom to a reptile convention in Fort Walton FL. It was around 10 to 10:30 AM and not too far from the Alabama/Florida state line. We were going down a county road (unfortunately I don’t remember which one exactly) and rounding a curve when for a split second I saw a tall, lanky, white creature cross the road into the woods from my left to the right side of the road. It happened so fast that I couldn’t make out any features other than it was tall, lanky, and white.
Also I think that it may have had a pinkish colored face and chest, and I’m guessing that it didn’t have hair on those specific parts of its body. The thing that stood out to me the most, however, was the way that it moved. Its movement was perfectly smooth and fluid, and the best way that I can describe it is that it moved like a ghost. It almost seemed to float across the ground and into the woods and I’ve never seen anything move like that before. Unfortunately at the time my mother was reading on her tablet when the event occurred, and it happened so fast that it was gone before I could even tell her to look up. After a bit of research, I found out that there have been other sightings of a similar looking creature or creatures known as “The Alabama White Thang”. From what I’ve read, most of these sightings occur more in northern Alabama, but I thought that it was pretty interesting nonetheless. The two other experiences that I had, I didn’t see anything myself but friends that were with me did. Unfortunately I can’t remember when they happened because they both occurred years ago. One happened during game night with some friends at my place. A couple of my friends saw pale humanoid faces looking into my living room window. However, that particular window is 7 to 8 feet off the ground so whatever was watching us definitely was not a person, unless they were on stilts or using a ladder.
The other instance that occurred was when I was out camping in the woods behind my house with a friend of mine. It was around 2 AM and he was sleeping in a hammock, while I slept in a tent. Something large was moving behind my tent and it woke us both up. Whatever it was was big and didn’t sound like a deer. (The largest animals that live around here are deer and wild pigs.) We never saw it or found out what exactly it was but it scared the hell out of me and I haven’t been camping back there since then. Another minor thing that I’ve noticed is that every once in a while later at night I will hear coyotes howling and making tons of noise behind my house, which itself isn’t that strange. However there have been times I’ve noticed that the howling will abruptly stop and it will go dead quiet for the rest of the night, which does seem kind of odd to me. Anyway those are the few experiences that I’ve had, and while they aren’t that major, I hope they’re at least somewhat interesting. I know I’ll definitely never forget that road crossing that happened on my birthday!”
Zack writes “It was early October archery season cold and heavily raining morning. I was excited to get the season underway and have heard from other local hunters there has been a lot of activity in this particular area. I arrived to the spot right before daybreak and walking the rain starts getting worst and worst and my rain gear started to fail. I decided to take a quick water break under a large tree with a lot of cover from the elements and drink some water real quick before moving on. As I’m getting my pack on, I heard a limp snap from directly in front of my position, and the woods went quiet, no birds or bugs making noise. I slowly move toward the sound of the snap in a low squat covering me was some smaller bushes and trees, my footfall covered by the rain. several steps, I stopped in my tracks, by a loud deep, guttural grunt.
I was frozen, not knowing what in the world made that noise, I scanned the area and saw nothing. what felt like hours<I’m sure it was only a few seconds> time seemed to stand still. The silence was defining. After a few more moments went by I heard a whisper in my ear that said “he’s right over there”, then silence was broken by another very loud deep, guttural grunt, this time I could feel it vibrate through my body and fell back onto my behind and the overwhelming fear kicked in. I know whatever this is, I want no part of it, and quickly try to get back to the main trial while constantly looking back to make sure whatever made those grunts wasn’t right behind me. I heard what sounded like large and heavy bipedal steps behind me but when I turned around nothing. This happened several times before I finally get back to the main trail and have my bow aimed at the wood line just incase this whatever is going to pop out. Nothing came out. Before I start the about half mile-ish walk back to my car. I figured now that I’m on an open trail I’m good now, the rain has stopped, but this was short lived. I start walking and hear to my right, steps mirroring mine exact same pace and cadence. I look over and see nothing but hear one extra step. This happened two or three times. On the third or forth time of this happening, when I looked over to my right. This massive humanoid figure covered in mahogany colored hair. I could see the muscles of the thighs all the way to the shoulders. I stopped looking at this creature when I hit his jawline.
I wish I could have looked it in the eye, but I was absolutely terrified and fearing for my life. I lowered my bow, knowing even If I let my arrow fly it would just make this thing mad and I would 100% not be writing this today. This thing could have easily closed the 30-yard gap between us in no time flat and I wouldn’t even know what hit me. The only way I can compare it prime Ronnie Colman but covered in hair. This thing made me feel like the size of an infant, (I’m 6 ft 5in and 265 pounds). I stood in disbelief, at what I just saw. This creature now out of sight in the wood line, the thought comes do I run? Do I keep letting this massive creature mirror me? Do I try to stay and see if it will leave? I decided to walk and check my right side periodically, still hearing heavy foot fall matching my pace and cadence.
Time felt still and like slow-motion getting back to the car. I finally see the car, probably 100 yards or so, I could feel a weight off my shoulders, that sense of being watched was gone and I could hear birds chirping. I sat in my ca and realize I had my handgun in my hip. This whole time I had something more to defend myself and completely forgot or didn’t realize I had it on my person. Still probably would have made this creature angry. I get to my car and the battery is dead (brand new battery). Weird detail and probably not related but who knows. I called my dad to see if he could give me a jump start. While waiting for him I smoked an entire pack of cigarettes in my car waiting for him and trying to process what just happened. Finally, he arrived and jumped my car. I went to market basket after and just sat in the parking lot for 4 hours, just starting at my dashboard. I didn’t know it was that long at the time. I got home and showered and went right to bed. The night was filled with nightmares and a bout of sleep paralysis.
I have had reoccurring nightmare since about this incident that have been getting better over the years. I have never been hunting since I saw whatever this was, and have barely gone hiking in the woods with my dog. This story has only been told to my now wife and nobody else knows what happened that day.”
