Angela writes “I hesitated to share this story because, to be honest, it makes me sound cray cray. But, I know what I saw.

At 1:00 p.m. yesterday, I was sitting on the back porch having an eyeball break after being on my laptop for hours.

I was enjoying the cool breeze and the fall foliage when I started hearing a loud, rapid banging sound to my left. It was not in any particular sequence. Bang bang bang. Bang. Bang bang. Bang bang bang. You get it.

At first, I thought Brian was doing something in the yard downstairs. I looked left, toward the direction of the sound. And, what I saw shocked me. I’m not exaggerating. My jaw literally dropped. I’m still shocked and my brain is still having a hard time wrapping itself around the incident. Seeing is believing even though what I saw was unbelievable.

Behind our neighbors’ house, on the wood line, there is a tree trunk surrounded by foliage. Here’s a picture of the tree (taken after the incident). That part of the tree is, as near as we can guess (Brian went down there), about 12 feet off the ground.

On that tree trunk, I saw a dark creature (shaped like a person) hugging the trunk with its left arm, and holding a fat log in its right hand. It was banging loudly and rapidly on the tree trunk with the log. Because of the foliage, I could only see it from the waist up.

I said out loud, “What in the world?!”

I stood up to get a better look. The thing saw me, and got spooked. It instantly dropped out of the tree. Since there was brush between my line of vision and the bottom of the tree, I didn’t see it hit the ground.

This is what I saw (and please forgive my Kindergarten artistic skills):

The figure was all black. Could have been fur or hair but it was too far away to see that detail. I did not see any clothing on it. It was just all black, and shaped like a beefy person (not thin). The log it was holding was about as thick as the thing’s head. It would take a very strong person with a very large hand to not only hold that log, but to swing it as fast and as hard as the thing was.

After the thing dropped off the tree trunk, I paused for a second. I wish I could explain the confusion my brain was experiencing at that moment. I knew what I saw but it didn’t make any sense to my logical mind at all!

I then stepped to my left, opened the back door, and loudly whispered, “BRIAN! COME QUICK!” He came out. I briefly told him what I saw, “A big black thing in the tree, beating on the tree trunk with a log!”

We listened and looked. Nothing. We pulled out the binoculars. Still nothing. Brian’s first thought was it might be a poacher, putting up a tree stand in our neighbor’s backyard (trespassing). Deer hunting season is about to start and we found poachers on our property after dark the past two years.

But, why would he be doing it at 1:00 in the afternoon, in broad daylight, and within view of three houses? And, again, I didn’t see any clothing on it. So, that theory didn’t make any sense.

Also, if it was a human, it would have shimmied/climbed down the tree; not dropped straight down about 12 feet to the ground.

I called our neighbor on my phone. “Hey! How ya doing? Um, are you doing work in the trees behind your house?”

He said no. I didn’t want to sound crazy so I gave him the “possible poacher” story, and asked if he’d mind if Brian went out there to investigate. He said sure, and promised not to shoot Brian. 😉

Brian did not find any evidence of a deer stand being built. He found some broken vines at the base of the tree, as well as lots of sticks and logs but those are all over the forest floor. He didn’t see any footprints but it was dry and, because it’s fall, there are tons of leaves on the forest floor. There is a deer trail right near that tree but I KNEW that wasn’t a deer up in that tree, holding a log, and banging on the tree trunk.

I looked up bears. They don’t have opposable thumbs. They can’t hold a log, and bang on a tree trunk.

I’m still trying to come to terms with the incident. My mind still can’t wrap itself around what I saw.

Mason has Covid right now. I took him to the ER on Tuesday because he had the worst headache of his life and pain in his lower middle back. He had no upper respiratory symptoms so I wanted them to rule out Meningitis, which they did. He tested positive for Covid in the ER and he’s home resting (and miserable) now. Please pray for him. He does have the upper respiratory symptoms now. Because we have Covid in the house, everybody is sleeping in separate rooms.

Last night, I woke up at 2:00 a.m., and heard a weird sound outside. I realized it was raining and the wind was blowing pretty hard so I crawled back in bed. Then, I heard another noise. A weird clack, clack, clack noise outside. Of course, I immediately thought that thing had come looking for me. I mean…it knows where I live! I got up with the flashlight. The wind was blowing so hard that a large bucket had blown out from under the porch, and was rolling back and forth across the driveway. I went back to bed but I didn’t get much sleep the rest of the night.”

Angela writes “Last night, our neighbor’s son was taking out the trash. Below is the first recording taken with their doorbell cam. As he gets close to the trashcan, you can hear a scream, and see his head turn.”

I am not posting the Ringcam video for privacy reasons but here is the audio. In the video it appears to be a windy night, the person is taking the trash out and as he passes the wood line something screams at him.

We will also be speaking to Josh who is a former police officer. Josh writes “First off I want to say thank you for countless hours of entertainment. The last 13 months of my life have been some of the hardest for me, but your show has helped me tremendously.

My encounter was very brief and only lasted a few seconds.. I spent around 16 years of my life as a police officer and have seen a lot of strange things over the years but this is something I can not wrap my head around… My wife and I were coming back home from a date night on a Friday or Saturday night around 5 years ago.

It was around 10 pm and as I was driving on Hwy 64 in Lamar, AR ( about 5 miles from the National Forest) Something large and hairy jumped over the hood of my car. I was going around 50 mph and this thing cleared it like it was nothing. All I can tell you is it was LARGE white and very hairy, with shaggy type hair. My wife saw it at about the same time I did. It cleared the car and took one step and it was gone into the woods.

I grew up in the area and am very familiar with the woods so like a crazy person I went into the woods looking for it lol. I never did find it and will probably never know for sure what it was but there was a very strong sense of fear that I felt and it takes a lot for me to feel something like that. Was it bigfoot?? I do not know but it was large. I can tell you this, I do not know of any other creature that could clear my car like that and take up the whole windshield. Just wanted to share this with you and say thank you for helping me through this last year. Your show really does help. God bless you Wes.”
