00:00:39,030 --> 00:00:36,559
in middlesex county massachusetts

8
00:00:40,549 --> 00:00:39,040
i have no clue what is going on i live

9
00:00:41,750 --> 00:00:40,559
in north central massachusetts in

10
00:00:43,670 --> 00:00:41,760
middlesex county

11
00:00:45,110 --> 00:00:43,680
in the middle of the woods we're a few

12
00:00:47,270 --> 00:00:45,120
miles out of town

13
00:00:48,869 --> 00:00:47,280
for the past few months my family and i

14
00:00:50,950 --> 00:00:48,879
have become convinced our house is

15
00:00:51,430 --> 00:00:50,960
haunted but i wasn't really bothered by

16
00:00:55,029 --> 00:00:51,440
it

17
00:00:55,670 --> 00:00:55,039
nuisance and hasn't done anything to

18
00:00:58,150 --> 00:00:55,680
harm us

19
00:00:59,430 --> 00:00:58,160
so we don't really mind it has mostly

20
00:01:01,270 --> 00:00:59,440
just been apparitions

21
00:01:03,270 --> 00:01:01,280
things turning on on their own and our

22
00:01:04,950 --> 00:01:03,280
pets getting spooked by nothing

23
00:01:07,030 --> 00:01:04,960
that was until the more physical things

24
00:01:08,469 --> 00:01:07,040
started to happen and i'm not sure

25
00:01:10,469 --> 00:01:08,479
if they are somehow connected to the

26
00:01:12,630 --> 00:01:10,479
peaceful presence in our house

27
00:01:14,070 --> 00:01:12,640
about a month ago i was up late around 3

28
00:01:16,390 --> 00:01:14,080
am watching youtube

29
00:01:17,830 --> 00:01:16,400
it was warm out so i had my window open

30
00:01:19,749 --> 00:01:17,840
along with the kern

31
00:01:21,590 --> 00:01:19,759
suddenly i heard what sounded like a

32
00:01:22,310 --> 00:01:21,600
grown man angrily scream right in our

33
00:01:24,070 --> 00:01:22,320
yard

34
00:01:25,429 --> 00:01:24,080
my heart literally dropped and i was

35
00:01:27,190 --> 00:01:25,439
frozen in fear

36
00:01:28,870 --> 00:01:27,200
like i said before we're in the middle

37
00:01:29,670 --> 00:01:28,880
of the woods and there are only a few

38
00:01:31,590 --> 00:01:29,680
houses around

39
00:01:33,990 --> 00:01:31,600
us no one would be screaming in our yard

40
00:01:35,350 --> 00:01:34,000
at 3am i laid there for a few minutes

41
00:01:37,109 --> 00:01:35,360
listening for anything else

42
00:01:38,710 --> 00:01:37,119
and i even renewed the video i was

43
00:01:41,510 --> 00:01:38,720
watching to make sure what i heard

44
00:01:42,870 --> 00:01:41,520
wasn't just in the video finally i got

45
00:01:45,270 --> 00:01:42,880
the courage to get up

46
00:01:46,789 --> 00:01:45,280
i closed my window and woke up my mom

47
00:01:48,469 --> 00:01:46,799
who i still live with

48
00:01:50,230 --> 00:01:48,479
she went around the house with me

49
00:01:50,710 --> 00:01:50,240
turning on all the outside lights and

50
00:01:52,710 --> 00:01:50,720
seeing

51
00:01:53,749 --> 00:01:52,720
if there was anyone in our yard there

52
00:01:55,749 --> 00:01:53,759
was nothing

53
00:01:57,270 --> 00:01:55,759
i keep thinking about how if i hadn't

54
00:01:58,870 --> 00:01:57,280
laid there paralyzed with fear

55
00:02:01,270 --> 00:01:58,880
i would have been able to see whoever

56
00:02:02,789 --> 00:02:01,280
whatever it was the next night i slept

57
00:02:04,630 --> 00:02:02,799
with my window open again

58
00:02:06,149 --> 00:02:04,640
and i had the most vivid dream i have

59
00:02:08,389 --> 00:02:06,159
ever had in it

60
00:02:09,990 --> 00:02:08,399
i was watching myself sleep but outside

61
00:02:11,589 --> 00:02:10,000
the window staring in at me was the

62
00:02:14,309 --> 00:02:11,599
extremely pale face

63
00:02:15,910 --> 00:02:14,319
it looked almost human but not quite i

64
00:02:16,630 --> 00:02:15,920
ended up jolting away completely

65
00:02:18,710 --> 00:02:16,640
terrified

66
00:02:19,670 --> 00:02:18,720
and slamming my windows shut and closing

67
00:02:21,670 --> 00:02:19,680
the shade

68
00:02:24,150 --> 00:02:21,680
but i just kept having the dream over

69
00:02:26,150 --> 00:02:24,160
and over again for the next few days

70
00:02:27,750 --> 00:02:26,160
over the next few weeks i kept hearing

71
00:02:29,750 --> 00:02:27,760
weird noises in the woods in broad

72
00:02:31,270 --> 00:02:29,760
daylight as well as late at night

73
00:02:32,869 --> 00:02:31,280
it sounded like something was hitting

74
00:02:34,790 --> 00:02:32,879
branches with a stick

75
00:02:36,710 --> 00:02:34,800
even my dog heard it and was running

76
00:02:38,630 --> 00:02:36,720
around the yard barking up a storm in an

77
00:02:40,790 --> 00:02:38,640
attempt to defend his house

78
00:02:42,790 --> 00:02:40,800
fast forward to yesterday my brother was

79
00:02:44,869 --> 00:02:42,800
home alone around 9 00 pm

80
00:02:46,790 --> 00:02:44,879
he went to let her dog outside but when

81
00:02:48,150 --> 00:02:46,800
he got out onto her indoor porch he saw

82
00:02:49,910 --> 00:02:48,160
something in the yard

83
00:02:52,070 --> 00:02:49,920
the only light in the backyard was

84
00:02:54,150 --> 00:02:52,080
coming from a light inside the house

85
00:02:55,190 --> 00:02:54,160
it illuminated a tall humanoid figure

86
00:02:57,670 --> 00:02:55,200
maybe around seven

87
00:02:58,790 --> 00:02:57,680
foot in the yard standing about 15 feet

88
00:03:01,190 --> 00:02:58,800
away from the house

89
00:03:01,990 --> 00:03:01,200
right in front of our fire pit it had no

90
00:03:04,070 --> 00:03:02,000
clothes on

91
00:03:06,070 --> 00:03:04,080
was incredibly skinny and it apparently

92
00:03:06,949 --> 00:03:06,080
was so pale that it appeared to glow in

93
00:03:09,190 --> 00:03:06,959
the light

94
00:03:10,949 --> 00:03:09,200
thankfully he did not let our dog out

95
00:03:12,070 --> 00:03:10,959
and went inside locking the doors and

96
00:03:14,229 --> 00:03:12,080
shutting the windows

97
00:03:15,990 --> 00:03:14,239
waiting for our mom to get home i know

98
00:03:18,470 --> 00:03:16,000
that he could just be lying but when our

99
00:03:20,070 --> 00:03:18,480
mom got home he was absolutely terrified

100
00:03:21,589 --> 00:03:20,080
and basically just hid in the living

101
00:03:23,509 --> 00:03:21,599
room until she got there

102
00:03:25,270 --> 00:03:23,519
i've known him his whole life and he has

103
00:03:27,750 --> 00:03:25,280
never lied about something like this

104
00:03:29,750 --> 00:03:27,760
and is in fact a horrible liar so i'm

105
00:03:31,430 --> 00:03:29,760
confident he is telling the truth

106
00:03:33,589 --> 00:03:31,440
i'm currently sitting out on my indoor

107
00:03:35,830 --> 00:03:33,599
porch at around 8 pm typing this

108
00:03:37,270 --> 00:03:35,840
waiting to see if i can spot it or at

109
00:03:39,350 --> 00:03:37,280
least hear something

110
00:03:40,789 --> 00:03:39,360
i'm honestly debating on whether or not

111
00:03:42,390 --> 00:03:40,799
i should sleep out here

112
00:03:44,229 --> 00:03:42,400
i did a little reading beforehand on

113
00:03:45,589 --> 00:03:44,239
some creatures and came across the

114
00:03:47,589 --> 00:03:45,599
mention of crawlers

115
00:03:49,270 --> 00:03:47,599
when my brother described it he said it

116
00:03:51,030 --> 00:03:49,280
was standing completely upright

117
00:03:53,270 --> 00:03:51,040
he didn't see it walk or crawl in any

118
00:03:55,750 --> 00:03:53,280
way could it still be a crawler

119
00:03:57,190 --> 00:03:55,760
are we in any danger and is it possible

120
00:03:58,949 --> 00:03:57,200
that it is somehow connected to the

121
00:03:59,990 --> 00:03:58,959
paranormal stuff that has been happening

122
00:04:01,589 --> 00:04:00,000
in our house

123
00:04:03,509 --> 00:04:01,599
about three or four days after my

124
00:04:04,710 --> 00:04:03,519
original email my brother saw the

125
00:04:06,550 --> 00:04:04,720
creature again

126
00:04:07,750 --> 00:04:06,560
i was home but i was in the middle of a

127
00:04:10,070 --> 00:04:07,760
long nap in my room

128
00:04:11,110 --> 00:04:10,080
so it was just my brother and my mom it

129
00:04:13,190 --> 00:04:11,120
was probably around

130
00:04:14,869 --> 00:04:13,200
8pm and my mom was in the living room on

131
00:04:15,670 --> 00:04:14,879
the phone and my brother was just

132
00:04:17,990 --> 00:04:15,680
watching tv

133
00:04:19,430 --> 00:04:18,000
beside her our dog was outside and

134
00:04:21,030 --> 00:04:19,440
started barking at something

135
00:04:23,270 --> 00:04:21,040
and keep in mind that he always does

136
00:04:25,030 --> 00:04:23,280
this he'll bark at any living creature

137
00:04:26,469 --> 00:04:25,040
he sees on our property or walking in

138
00:04:27,990 --> 00:04:26,479
front of the house on the road

139
00:04:30,150 --> 00:04:28,000
so neither of them thought anything

140
00:04:32,070 --> 00:04:30,160
about it my brother got up to let him in

141
00:04:34,310 --> 00:04:32,080
and walk onto our indoor porch and look

142
00:04:36,469 --> 00:04:34,320
out to see what our dog was barking at

143
00:04:37,990 --> 00:04:36,479
he saw the creature again about 10 feet

144
00:04:40,310 --> 00:04:38,000
from where he saw it originally

145
00:04:42,070 --> 00:04:40,320
staring at the house again he ran back

146
00:04:43,189 --> 00:04:42,080
to the living room to get our mom who

147
00:04:45,030 --> 00:04:43,199
came out a look

148
00:04:46,629 --> 00:04:45,040
by the time we got to the porch the

149
00:04:48,230 --> 00:04:46,639
creature was just gone

150
00:04:49,909 --> 00:04:48,240
i'm just not convinced something is

151
00:04:51,030 --> 00:04:49,919
going on after my brother saw it the

152
00:04:52,950 --> 00:04:51,040
second time

153
00:04:54,070 --> 00:04:52,960
he started saying that he's scared he's

154
00:04:55,830 --> 00:04:54,080
just hallucinating

155
00:04:57,990 --> 00:04:55,840
and his mind our eyes were just plain

156
00:04:58,790 --> 00:04:58,000
tricks on him especially since when he

157
00:05:00,629 --> 00:04:58,800
got my mom

158
00:05:02,790 --> 00:05:00,639
the creature had disappeared within that

159
00:05:03,590 --> 00:05:02,800
15 seconds without even the smallest

160
00:05:04,950 --> 00:05:03,600
trace

161
00:05:06,790 --> 00:05:04,960
so because he was starting to be

162
00:05:07,590 --> 00:05:06,800
convinced it was just a trick his eyes

163
00:05:09,430 --> 00:05:07,600
played on him

164
00:05:12,390 --> 00:05:09,440
i stopped believing that he actually saw

165
00:05:14,629 --> 00:05:12,400
a crawler i just kind of stopped caring

166
00:05:16,550 --> 00:05:14,639
my one class for yesterday was cancelled

167
00:05:17,270 --> 00:05:16,560
so i spent the whole day just lounging

168
00:05:19,350 --> 00:05:17,280
around

169
00:05:21,510 --> 00:05:19,360
i completely forgot about making myself

170
00:05:23,830 --> 00:05:21,520
dinner so it was about 11 45

171
00:05:25,749 --> 00:05:23,840
pm when i remembered i was just quickly

172
00:05:27,350 --> 00:05:25,759
making some chili when my mom got up to

173
00:05:29,510 --> 00:05:27,360
let my dog outside

174
00:05:31,510 --> 00:05:29,520
it had been downpouring all day so my

175
00:05:33,909 --> 00:05:31,520
dog had only gone outside twice during

176
00:05:35,670 --> 00:05:33,919
the day because he's terrified of rain

177
00:05:37,110 --> 00:05:35,680
my mom went back to bed and left me to

178
00:05:38,870 --> 00:05:37,120
let him in when he's done

179
00:05:41,110 --> 00:05:38,880
i finished making my dinner about 10

180
00:05:43,029 --> 00:05:41,120
minutes later and decided to go call him

181
00:05:45,110 --> 00:05:43,039
to have him come back inside

182
00:05:47,189 --> 00:05:45,120
once i called him i heard something big

183
00:05:47,990 --> 00:05:47,199
move in the woods as if it reacted to my

184
00:05:50,070 --> 00:05:48,000
voice

185
00:05:51,909 --> 00:05:50,080
immediately after that my dog came

186
00:05:53,670 --> 00:05:51,919
charging from the other side of the yard

187
00:05:55,110 --> 00:05:53,680
and proceeded to freak out over whatever

188
00:05:57,189 --> 00:05:55,120
was hidden in the trees

189
00:05:59,189 --> 00:05:57,199
i kept calling him but he would not stop

190
00:06:01,110 --> 00:05:59,199
barking and growling no matter what

191
00:06:02,950 --> 00:06:01,120
i even shouted out some of his favorite

192
00:06:04,870 --> 00:06:02,960
phrases but he didn't react to any of

193
00:06:06,150 --> 00:06:04,880
them at all which was super strange

194
00:06:08,550 --> 00:06:06,160
because he always does

195
00:06:09,590 --> 00:06:08,560
no matter how distracted he is this went

196
00:06:11,189 --> 00:06:09,600
on for a few minutes

197
00:06:13,270 --> 00:06:11,199
and it got to the point where my mom and

198
00:06:15,029 --> 00:06:13,280
my sister came out so we could all try

199
00:06:16,870 --> 00:06:15,039
to call him back inside

200
00:06:18,390 --> 00:06:16,880
we didn't want him to wake up the entire

201
00:06:20,070 --> 00:06:18,400
neighborhood now

202
00:06:22,150 --> 00:06:20,080
i don't know if i'm brave or just

203
00:06:24,309 --> 00:06:22,160
literally the stupidest person alive but

204
00:06:24,950 --> 00:06:24,319
i decided to just go out into our woodsy

205
00:06:26,550 --> 00:06:24,960
backyard

206
00:06:28,150 --> 00:06:26,560
barefoot in the middle of the night to

207
00:06:30,390 --> 00:06:28,160
force him to come inside

208
00:06:32,309 --> 00:06:30,400
it was about 40 degrees fahrenheit and i

209
00:06:34,230 --> 00:06:32,319
was literally only wearing a sports bra

210
00:06:35,749 --> 00:06:34,240
and shorts i was pissed off and just

211
00:06:37,670 --> 00:06:35,759
wanted to eat my food

212
00:06:39,749 --> 00:06:37,680
i went outside and walked down the steps

213
00:06:41,510 --> 00:06:39,759
from the indoor porch and i was about 10

214
00:06:42,870 --> 00:06:41,520
feet into the yard when i heard whatever

215
00:06:45,029 --> 00:06:42,880
it was move in the woods again in

216
00:06:47,029 --> 00:06:45,039
response to me walking into the yard

217
00:06:48,950 --> 00:06:47,039
i literally froze for a few seconds and

218
00:06:49,670 --> 00:06:48,960
i heard my sister from above me on the

219
00:06:51,670 --> 00:06:49,680
porch go

220
00:06:53,350 --> 00:06:51,680
what the freak was that i didn't really

221
00:06:55,350 --> 00:06:53,360
care when i heard it move when i was on

222
00:06:56,950 --> 00:06:55,360
the porch but hearing it maybe not even

223
00:06:57,909 --> 00:06:56,960
30 feet from me when there aren't any

224
00:07:00,550 --> 00:06:57,919
wills around me

225
00:07:02,550 --> 00:07:00,560
scared the crap out of me regardless i

226
00:07:04,390 --> 00:07:02,560
started walking again towards my dog to

227
00:07:05,749 --> 00:07:04,400
put his leash on him but as soon as he

228
00:07:07,670 --> 00:07:05,759
saw the leash in my hand

229
00:07:09,350 --> 00:07:07,680
he ran all the way back to the porch

230
00:07:11,670 --> 00:07:09,360
leaving me alone in the dark

231
00:07:12,710 --> 00:07:11,680
needless to say i have never ran faster

232
00:07:15,189 --> 00:07:12,720
in my life

233
00:07:15,990 --> 00:07:15,199
i got back to the porch let my dog in

234
00:07:18,309 --> 00:07:16,000
everyone went back

235
00:07:20,070 --> 00:07:18,319
to bed and i finally ate my chili the

236
00:07:21,990 --> 00:07:20,080
only good part of the story

237
00:07:23,830 --> 00:07:22,000
now i know there's no guarantee that it

238
00:07:24,230 --> 00:07:23,840
was whatever my brother saw or thinks he

239
00:07:26,390 --> 00:07:24,240
saw

240
00:07:27,350 --> 00:07:26,400
after all i'm still not fully convinced

241
00:07:29,110 --> 00:07:27,360
it even exists

242
00:07:31,029 --> 00:07:29,120
but the entire situation was very

243
00:07:32,790 --> 00:07:31,039
strange we live in the middle of the

244
00:07:35,029 --> 00:07:32,800
woods we're used to wildlife being

245
00:07:36,790 --> 00:07:35,039
around our house and my dog always barks

246
00:07:37,830 --> 00:07:36,800
at any living thing he sees or hears

247
00:07:39,990 --> 00:07:37,840
near the house

248
00:07:41,589 --> 00:07:40,000
however literally every single time he

249
00:07:43,110 --> 00:07:41,599
barks at them we always hear them

250
00:07:45,029 --> 00:07:43,120
running away in the woods to get away

251
00:07:46,070 --> 00:07:45,039
from him from tiny bunnies to a

252
00:07:48,309 --> 00:07:46,080
grown-ass bear

253
00:07:49,270 --> 00:07:48,319
it's always the same but whatever was in

254
00:07:51,189 --> 00:07:49,280
the woods tonight

255
00:07:53,029 --> 00:07:51,199
obviously did not care about my dog

256
00:07:53,830 --> 00:07:53,039
barking and growling and charging around

257
00:07:55,670 --> 00:07:53,840
the yard

258
00:07:57,430 --> 00:07:55,680
it just seemed to move around anytime

259
00:07:59,909 --> 00:07:57,440
something new happened like me calling

260
00:08:02,629 --> 00:07:59,919
for my dog or me going out into the yard

261
00:08:05,029 --> 00:08:02,639
it seemed like it was just watching also

262
00:08:06,710 --> 00:08:05,039
my dog has a very specific bark

263
00:08:08,869 --> 00:08:06,720
it can be annoying as hell but it's

264
00:08:09,830 --> 00:08:08,879
always the same whenever he sees or

265
00:08:11,589 --> 00:08:09,840
hears something near

266
00:08:12,869 --> 00:08:11,599
on her property it's almost as if he's

267
00:08:14,950 --> 00:08:12,879
yelling hey

268
00:08:15,990 --> 00:08:14,960
get out of here but he doesn't sound

269
00:08:17,670 --> 00:08:16,000
angry at all

270
00:08:19,670 --> 00:08:17,680
i've even seen him charge at a full

271
00:08:21,749 --> 00:08:19,680
grown mail dear three times his size

272
00:08:22,790 --> 00:08:21,759
and his bark was just the same old get

273
00:08:24,390 --> 00:08:22,800
off my lawn

274
00:08:26,469 --> 00:08:24,400
but tonight when he was barking at

275
00:08:27,909 --> 00:08:26,479
whatever was in the woods he sounded so

276
00:08:29,589 --> 00:08:27,919
angry and vicious

277
00:08:32,550 --> 00:08:29,599
i don't think i've ever heard embark or

278
00:08:34,630 --> 00:08:32,560
growl like that i was actually shocked

279
00:08:37,269 --> 00:08:34,640
anyways that's basically it that

280
00:08:39,190 --> 00:08:37,279
happened exactly 24 hours ago now

281
00:08:41,029 --> 00:08:39,200
as for the paranormal stuff in my house

282
00:08:43,269 --> 00:08:41,039
that i mentioned in the original email

283
00:08:44,790 --> 00:08:43,279
it's been about the same just small

284
00:08:46,070 --> 00:08:44,800
things have been happening along with

285
00:08:47,670 --> 00:08:46,080
knocks on walls

286
00:08:49,190 --> 00:08:47,680
it's not threatening at all and i'll

287
00:08:51,269 --> 00:08:49,200
probably make a post about in the

288
00:08:52,470 --> 00:08:51,279
paranormal subreddit eventually because

289
00:08:54,949 --> 00:08:52,480
it's actually super

290
00:08:56,389 --> 00:08:54,959
interesting also don't bother asking

291
00:08:58,150 --> 00:08:56,399
about railcams

292
00:09:00,070 --> 00:08:58,160
i know that we should probably get them

293
00:09:00,389 --> 00:09:00,080
but no one in my house wants to pay for

294
00:09:02,150 --> 00:09:00,399
them

295
00:09:04,389 --> 00:09:02,160
and as a broke college student i'd

296
00:09:12,310 --> 00:09:04,399
prefer not to spend money right now

297
00:09:16,550 --> 00:09:14,550
luminescent crawler humanoids observed

298
00:09:18,710 --> 00:09:16,560
by teens in local park

299
00:09:20,790 --> 00:09:18,720
there's a local park that's a few blocks

300
00:09:22,150 --> 00:09:20,800
away from my childhood home

301
00:09:24,470 --> 00:09:22,160
there have been a lot of weird

302
00:09:25,829 --> 00:09:24,480
experiences i had with my childhood

303
00:09:28,150 --> 00:09:25,839
group of friends

304
00:09:30,389 --> 00:09:28,160
a few examples are weird war like or

305
00:09:31,670 --> 00:09:30,399
jumanji type drums that would play while

306
00:09:33,910 --> 00:09:31,680
deep on the trails

307
00:09:35,350 --> 00:09:33,920
people seeing lights flickering randomly

308
00:09:36,389 --> 00:09:35,360
in the woods where there shouldn't be

309
00:09:38,230 --> 00:09:36,399
lights at dusk

310
00:09:40,550 --> 00:09:38,240
and people feeling like they're being

311
00:09:42,870 --> 00:09:40,560
watched or followed when they're alone

312
00:09:44,710 --> 00:09:42,880
the local community decided to build a

313
00:09:47,590 --> 00:09:44,720
jungle gym and a few swings

314
00:09:49,670 --> 00:09:47,600
as well as a shelter with picnic tables

315
00:09:50,070 --> 00:09:49,680
there was a little ceremony and it was a

316
00:09:52,870 --> 00:09:50,080
huge

317
00:09:54,310 --> 00:09:52,880
success lots of trips there as a kid and

318
00:09:56,550 --> 00:09:54,320
a lot of fun had

319
00:09:58,630 --> 00:09:56,560
in high school i remember going out

320
00:10:01,430 --> 00:09:58,640
there at night to clear my head

321
00:10:03,110 --> 00:10:01,440
this was in 2010 i'd sit out on the

322
00:10:05,350 --> 00:10:03,120
swings and just text

323
00:10:06,389 --> 00:10:05,360
one night i heard my text tone go off

324
00:10:09,350 --> 00:10:06,399
and i looked at my

325
00:10:11,430 --> 00:10:09,360
phone but there were no notifications it

326
00:10:12,630 --> 00:10:11,440
happens again and i realize it was in

327
00:10:15,030 --> 00:10:12,640
the woods behind me

328
00:10:16,389 --> 00:10:15,040
about a hundred feet or so away it

329
00:10:18,389 --> 00:10:16,399
happens again

330
00:10:20,630 --> 00:10:18,399
i was freaked out so i head the other

331
00:10:22,630 --> 00:10:20,640
way and get on the road to walk home

332
00:10:23,750 --> 00:10:22,640
and the notifications keep pinching in

333
00:10:25,750 --> 00:10:23,760
those woods

334
00:10:27,829 --> 00:10:25,760
so i end up jogging and then running

335
00:10:30,069 --> 00:10:27,839
until i couldn't hear it anymore

336
00:10:32,069 --> 00:10:30,079
i told some friends about this and we

337
00:10:34,310 --> 00:10:32,079
ended up deciding we'd go back on the

338
00:10:36,470 --> 00:10:34,320
weekend and walk the trails at night and

339
00:10:38,949 --> 00:10:36,480
try and get it to happen again

340
00:10:40,230 --> 00:10:38,959
i was hesitant at first but we were all

341
00:10:42,470 --> 00:10:40,240
big teens

342
00:10:43,509 --> 00:10:42,480
one of my friends was a boxer another

343
00:10:45,750 --> 00:10:43,519
alignment

344
00:10:48,310 --> 00:10:45,760
it was november now and the night we got

345
00:10:50,470 --> 00:10:48,320
together to go it was kind of sleeting

346
00:10:52,470 --> 00:10:50,480
not hard enough to be a problem just

347
00:10:54,310 --> 00:10:52,480
enough to be kind of annoying

348
00:10:56,949 --> 00:10:54,320
so we head to the park and get into the

349
00:10:59,269 --> 00:10:56,959
woods walking around with flashlights

350
00:11:00,870 --> 00:10:59,279
we weren't taking it super serious and

351
00:11:03,190 --> 00:11:00,880
laughing and joking

352
00:11:04,470 --> 00:11:03,200
we end up in a kind of field area near a

353
00:11:06,710 --> 00:11:04,480
fishing pond

354
00:11:08,550 --> 00:11:06,720
all simultaneously we kind of feel

355
00:11:10,630 --> 00:11:08,560
uncomfortable and uneasy

356
00:11:12,949 --> 00:11:10,640
we more or less all didn't want to wuss

357
00:11:15,269 --> 00:11:12,959
out so we start to cross this field

358
00:11:17,190 --> 00:11:15,279
and immediately i get goosebumps and my

359
00:11:19,110 --> 00:11:17,200
neck hairs all stand up

360
00:11:21,430 --> 00:11:19,120
we get to the other end of the field and

361
00:11:22,230 --> 00:11:21,440
someone jokes about that not being so

362
00:11:23,829 --> 00:11:22,240
bad

363
00:11:26,150 --> 00:11:23,839
there were four of us and we all

364
00:11:28,150 --> 00:11:26,160
nervously laugh before hearing a loud

365
00:11:30,949 --> 00:11:28,160
crash in the wooded area we just got

366
00:11:32,069 --> 00:11:30,959
to all our flashlights scanned the trees

367
00:11:33,829 --> 00:11:32,079
frantically

368
00:11:35,990 --> 00:11:33,839
me and another friend turned the other

369
00:11:37,990 --> 00:11:36,000
way to check our flank and saw something

370
00:11:39,110 --> 00:11:38,000
we agree we can't even begin to make

371
00:11:41,190 --> 00:11:39,120
sense of

372
00:11:43,509 --> 00:11:41,200
there for a brief second in the field on

373
00:11:45,590 --> 00:11:43,519
the walkway we both saw a creature that

374
00:11:46,389 --> 00:11:45,600
didn't move like any animal we have ever

375
00:11:48,150 --> 00:11:46,399
seen

376
00:11:50,389 --> 00:11:48,160
it was almost luminescent as the

377
00:11:51,750 --> 00:11:50,399
flashlight seemed to shine back at us as

378
00:11:53,430 --> 00:11:51,760
it hit its skin

379
00:11:55,750 --> 00:11:53,440
this thing looked like what i can only

380
00:11:58,389 --> 00:11:55,760
compare to as the rake stories

381
00:11:59,350 --> 00:11:58,399
it was bony almost humanoid but it was

382
00:12:01,829 --> 00:11:59,360
hunkered down

383
00:12:03,910 --> 00:12:01,839
and it drug its body with the front arms

384
00:12:06,230 --> 00:12:03,920
rather than moved with its back legs

385
00:12:08,310 --> 00:12:06,240
and just slithered into the field the

386
00:12:08,790 --> 00:12:08,320
two other guys still scanning the tree

387
00:12:10,870 --> 00:12:08,800
line

388
00:12:12,550 --> 00:12:10,880
shout they saw something and just took

389
00:12:13,509 --> 00:12:12,560
off toward where we saw that thing in

390
00:12:15,990 --> 00:12:13,519
the field

391
00:12:17,829 --> 00:12:16,000
fight or flight kicked in the other two

392
00:12:18,389 --> 00:12:17,839
of us just take off after them and we

393
00:12:20,310 --> 00:12:18,399
run

394
00:12:22,069 --> 00:12:20,320
not stopping until we got out of the

395
00:12:24,470 --> 00:12:22,079
woods and onto the road

396
00:12:26,470 --> 00:12:24,480
we stopped and stood there we had our

397
00:12:28,389 --> 00:12:26,480
flashlights all looking at the woods

398
00:12:30,230 --> 00:12:28,399
the sleet and our tired breathing the

399
00:12:32,150 --> 00:12:30,240
only sounds we could hear

400
00:12:34,310 --> 00:12:32,160
then the same crash again and what

401
00:12:36,710 --> 00:12:34,320
sounded like running footsteps

402
00:12:38,150 --> 00:12:36,720
we ran all the way to my house the

403
00:12:39,910 --> 00:12:38,160
second part of the story

404
00:12:41,990 --> 00:12:39,920
is that my two other friends who look

405
00:12:43,509 --> 00:12:42,000
towards the woods saw something about

406
00:12:45,910 --> 00:12:43,519
seven or eight feet tall

407
00:12:47,190 --> 00:12:45,920
poked head around a tree only 20 feet

408
00:12:49,110 --> 00:12:47,200
into the tree line

409
00:12:51,269 --> 00:12:49,120
they said it had the same luminescent

410
00:12:53,990 --> 00:12:51,279
skin that the lights reflected at them

411
00:12:56,310 --> 00:12:54,000
but it had slits for eyes like a cat but

412
00:12:57,829 --> 00:12:56,320
the pupils were darker than black

413
00:12:59,750 --> 00:12:57,839
they almost absorbed the light

414
00:13:01,829 --> 00:12:59,760
contrasting to the skin

415
00:13:03,350 --> 00:13:01,839
this is the first time i've tried to put

416
00:13:05,430 --> 00:13:03,360
it down into text

417
00:13:07,430 --> 00:13:05,440
we've all remained friends since then

418
00:13:09,350 --> 00:13:07,440
and none of us can explain what we saw

419
00:13:11,350 --> 00:13:09,360
and experienced that night

420
00:13:13,350 --> 00:13:11,360
i couldn't sleep for weeks and was so

421
00:13:13,829 --> 00:13:13,360
uncomfortable living so close to the

422
00:13:15,990 --> 00:13:13,839
park

423
00:13:16,949 --> 00:13:16,000
i rigged my windows up with cans with

424
00:13:18,870 --> 00:13:16,959
pebbles in them

425
00:13:19,990 --> 00:13:18,880
so that if something somehow messed with

426
00:13:22,790 --> 00:13:20,000
them while i slept

427
00:13:25,269 --> 00:13:22,800
i'd be aware we all kind of agree that

428
00:13:26,870 --> 00:13:25,279
with the fact my text tone was repeated

429
00:13:28,550 --> 00:13:26,880
and other stories we've heard about

430
00:13:30,790 --> 00:13:28,560
wendigos skinwalkers

431
00:13:32,949 --> 00:13:30,800
and the goatman we all have decided that

432
00:13:34,710 --> 00:13:32,959
could be what is out in those woods

433
00:13:36,389 --> 00:13:34,720
since then other people that i have

434
00:13:38,150 --> 00:13:36,399
never told this story to

435
00:13:39,430 --> 00:13:38,160
have also mentioned having bizarre

436
00:13:42,310 --> 00:13:39,440
encounters there but

437
00:13:44,150 --> 00:13:42,320
nothing like this not sure i know anyone

438
00:13:46,829 --> 00:13:44,160
who has been to that park and into those

439
00:13:52,629 --> 00:13:46,839
woods who don't have a weird story

440
00:13:57,350 --> 00:13:55,030
crawler humanoid chases sisters in gulf

441
00:13:59,910 --> 00:13:57,360
shores alabama nature park

442
00:14:01,430 --> 00:13:59,920
about five years ago my older sister and

443
00:14:03,990 --> 00:14:01,440
i went to a nature park

444
00:14:05,110 --> 00:14:04,000
a wetland so to speak in gulf shores

445
00:14:07,110 --> 00:14:05,120
alabama

446
00:14:08,870 --> 00:14:07,120
of course we went at night so we could

447
00:14:10,150 --> 00:14:08,880
skateboard around cause you weren't

448
00:14:12,790 --> 00:14:10,160
allowed to

449
00:14:15,110 --> 00:14:12,800
but you know a 14 year old trying to

450
00:14:16,069 --> 00:14:15,120
look cool in front of her 24 year old

451
00:14:18,230 --> 00:14:16,079
sister

452
00:14:19,110 --> 00:14:18,240
well we went just around as the sun was

453
00:14:21,030 --> 00:14:19,120
setting

454
00:14:23,030 --> 00:14:21,040
for a little bit we got lost since the

455
00:14:24,069 --> 00:14:23,040
park was so huge and condensed with the

456
00:14:26,550 --> 00:14:24,079
thick woods

457
00:14:27,750 --> 00:14:26,560
we were trying to find a bridge at 20

458
00:14:29,590 --> 00:14:27,760
feet or so bridge

459
00:14:30,870 --> 00:14:29,600
so we can hang out just above the

460
00:14:32,790 --> 00:14:30,880
rushing river

461
00:14:35,110 --> 00:14:32,800
by the time we got there the sun was

462
00:14:37,590 --> 00:14:35,120
hardly visible over the mountains

463
00:14:39,269 --> 00:14:37,600
i looked around after drinking my water

464
00:14:40,230 --> 00:14:39,279
and here is where the creepy stuff

465
00:14:41,910 --> 00:14:40,240
happened

466
00:14:44,150 --> 00:14:41,920
as i looked at the other side of the

467
00:14:45,030 --> 00:14:44,160
bridge i saw a tall skinny human-like

468
00:14:47,030 --> 00:14:45,040
figure

469
00:14:49,750 --> 00:14:47,040
i first shrugged it off like it was a

470
00:14:51,750 --> 00:14:49,760
person maybe a ranger of the park

471
00:14:54,790 --> 00:14:51,760
but then it got on all fours and walked

472
00:14:56,790 --> 00:14:54,800
away i didn't say anything at first

473
00:14:59,430 --> 00:14:56,800
mainly because i thought it was maybe a

474
00:15:01,670 --> 00:14:59,440
bear i looked back at my sister as we

475
00:15:02,550 --> 00:15:01,680
chatted about boys and along many other

476
00:15:04,230 --> 00:15:02,560
things

477
00:15:06,550 --> 00:15:04,240
then i look back at the end of the

478
00:15:09,189 --> 00:15:06,560
bridge my sister did too

479
00:15:11,590 --> 00:15:09,199
and we both saw the figure this time at

480
00:15:13,750 --> 00:15:11,600
this point i was totally freaked out

481
00:15:15,269 --> 00:15:13,760
mind you it's still not dark out the sky

482
00:15:17,350 --> 00:15:15,279
was purple and orange

483
00:15:19,269 --> 00:15:17,360
so it wasn't like we were seeing things

484
00:15:20,310 --> 00:15:19,279
like when your mind pictures figures in

485
00:15:23,670 --> 00:15:20,320
the dark

486
00:15:25,910 --> 00:15:23,680
no it was right there and getting closer

487
00:15:26,710 --> 00:15:25,920
i told my sister to get the hell out of

488
00:15:28,870 --> 00:15:26,720
there

489
00:15:29,749 --> 00:15:28,880
her going first off the bride and down

490
00:15:32,470 --> 00:15:29,759
the hill

491
00:15:34,310 --> 00:15:32,480
i went second and as i turned to look at

492
00:15:36,790 --> 00:15:34,320
the bridge again it was five feet in

493
00:15:38,710 --> 00:15:36,800
front of me on all fours once again

494
00:15:39,829 --> 00:15:38,720
it stood there as me and my sister

495
00:15:42,629 --> 00:15:39,839
skated off and this

496
00:15:43,990 --> 00:15:42,639
isn't even the end i told my sister to

497
00:15:46,550 --> 00:15:44,000
head to the main building

498
00:15:48,470 --> 00:15:46,560
since there is cameras and lots of light

499
00:15:49,110 --> 00:15:48,480
we skateboarded for what seemed like

500
00:15:51,990 --> 00:15:49,120
hours

501
00:15:53,990 --> 00:15:52,000
every minute seemed to last eternity as

502
00:15:56,790 --> 00:15:54,000
we finally get to the main building we

503
00:15:59,350 --> 00:15:56,800
finally stopped riding our boards out of

504
00:16:02,550 --> 00:15:59,360
breath and scared we both looked around

505
00:16:04,949 --> 00:16:02,560
by this time it was pitch black outside

506
00:16:06,870 --> 00:16:04,959
we made a mad dash to the car taking a

507
00:16:08,790 --> 00:16:06,880
path we have never seen before

508
00:16:10,230 --> 00:16:08,800
but it was outside the park which made

509
00:16:12,629 --> 00:16:10,240
us feel safer

510
00:16:13,350 --> 00:16:12,639
after we got to my sister's jeep we both

511
00:16:15,269 --> 00:16:13,360
got in

512
00:16:17,509 --> 00:16:15,279
hearts racing and scared out of our

513
00:16:18,870 --> 00:16:17,519
minds and when we tried to leave the

514
00:16:20,550 --> 00:16:18,880
gate was locked

515
00:16:23,189 --> 00:16:20,560
meaning we couldn't leave since there

516
00:16:25,670 --> 00:16:23,199
was only one way in and out of the park

517
00:16:27,269 --> 00:16:25,680
we got even more scared we tried

518
00:16:29,189 --> 00:16:27,279
everything to get out

519
00:16:31,430 --> 00:16:29,199
we even thought about just leaving the

520
00:16:32,150 --> 00:16:31,440
car behind and walking the two hours

521
00:16:34,389 --> 00:16:32,160
home

522
00:16:35,590 --> 00:16:34,399
but we drove onto the sidewalk and got

523
00:16:37,509 --> 00:16:35,600
out of the park

524
00:16:39,350 --> 00:16:37,519
to this day i won't go back to those

525
00:16:41,910 --> 00:16:39,360
wetlands ever again

526
00:16:44,069 --> 00:16:41,920
even in daylight whatever that thing was

527
00:16:46,870 --> 00:16:44,079
i never want to see it again

528
00:16:47,350 --> 00:16:46,880
i can't stop thinking about it and i'm

529
00:16:50,629 --> 00:16:47,360
almost

530
00:16:53,189 --> 00:16:50,639
19. you can think this is just a story

531
00:16:55,269 --> 00:16:53,199
but it really did happen me and my

532
00:16:56,150 --> 00:16:55,279
sister don't even talk about it to this

533
00:16:58,389 --> 00:16:56,160
day

534
00:17:02,829 --> 00:16:58,399
something changed between us i could

535
00:17:02,839 --> 00:17:07,270
dl

536
00:17:11,270 --> 00:17:09,510
all pale humanoid nightcrawler chases

537
00:17:13,669 --> 00:17:11,280
biker in south georgia

538
00:17:15,750 --> 00:17:13,679
i live in south georgia and i leave work

539
00:17:17,829 --> 00:17:15,760
at around 10 45 p.m

540
00:17:19,750 --> 00:17:17,839
riding my bike for about 30 minutes to

541
00:17:21,750 --> 00:17:19,760
get home on a dimly lit road

542
00:17:23,750 --> 00:17:21,760
before i take the long ride home i

543
00:17:25,590 --> 00:17:23,760
usually stop at my girlfriend's house

544
00:17:26,309 --> 00:17:25,600
which is around a minute's ride from my

545
00:17:28,549 --> 00:17:26,319
work

546
00:17:30,230 --> 00:17:28,559
on one particular night my phone died

547
00:17:32,390 --> 00:17:30,240
once i reached her house

548
00:17:33,909 --> 00:17:32,400
as i was about to leave we both felt a

549
00:17:36,070 --> 00:17:33,919
slight feeling of dread

550
00:17:37,270 --> 00:17:36,080
she wished me a safe ride and i began

551
00:17:39,350 --> 00:17:37,280
the ride home

552
00:17:41,270 --> 00:17:39,360
just a little down the road the light on

553
00:17:43,110 --> 00:17:41,280
the front of my bike died which meant i

554
00:17:44,870 --> 00:17:43,120
was flying mostly blind

555
00:17:46,710 --> 00:17:44,880
i stopped and turned on some small

556
00:17:47,190 --> 00:17:46,720
little lights on the spokes of my front

557
00:17:49,830 --> 00:17:47,200
wheel

558
00:17:52,070 --> 00:17:49,840
so cars could see me for safety reasons

559
00:17:53,990 --> 00:17:52,080
i know the road to my house very well

560
00:17:55,510 --> 00:17:54,000
so i wasn't too worried about my light

561
00:17:57,350 --> 00:17:55,520
going out at the time

562
00:17:59,350 --> 00:17:57,360
my neighborhood sits behind a gas

563
00:18:00,070 --> 00:17:59,360
station and a restaurant with a spacious

564
00:18:02,310 --> 00:18:00,080
parking lot

565
00:18:04,310 --> 00:18:02,320
on the other side of the road another

566
00:18:05,990 --> 00:18:04,320
important detail is that the sidewalk is

567
00:18:08,070 --> 00:18:06,000
on the side of the restaurant

568
00:18:09,510 --> 00:18:08,080
as i was riding very close to the

569
00:18:11,510 --> 00:18:09,520
entrance of my neighborhood

570
00:18:12,870 --> 00:18:11,520
i saw a large group of people standing

571
00:18:15,270 --> 00:18:12,880
in the parking lot

572
00:18:16,950 --> 00:18:15,280
i rode by not saying a word i was

573
00:18:18,310 --> 00:18:16,960
startled when i heard one of them yell

574
00:18:21,430 --> 00:18:18,320
something that sound like

575
00:18:23,990 --> 00:18:21,440
hey it was in a loud forceful tone i

576
00:18:26,150 --> 00:18:24,000
began to bike faster after hearing this

577
00:18:27,350 --> 00:18:26,160
i didn't even look both ways or stop in

578
00:18:29,029 --> 00:18:27,360
front of the road

579
00:18:31,430 --> 00:18:29,039
rather i just barreled through to the

580
00:18:33,510 --> 00:18:31,440
other side as i looked behind me

581
00:18:35,110 --> 00:18:33,520
as i was entering my neighborhood i was

582
00:18:37,510 --> 00:18:35,120
horrified to see that the crowd of

583
00:18:39,830 --> 00:18:37,520
people were all chasing me on bikes

584
00:18:40,710 --> 00:18:39,840
terrified i sped up even more through my

585
00:18:42,870 --> 00:18:40,720
neighborhood

586
00:18:44,789 --> 00:18:42,880
i was very scared because i essentially

587
00:18:45,909 --> 00:18:44,799
had a beacon on me with the spoke lights

588
00:18:47,510 --> 00:18:45,919
on my bike

589
00:18:49,669 --> 00:18:47,520
my neighborhood doesn't have many

590
00:18:50,950 --> 00:18:49,679
straight roads so i tried to lose them

591
00:18:53,510 --> 00:18:50,960
as best i could

592
00:18:55,830 --> 00:18:53,520
i am a very competent biker so i managed

593
00:18:57,669 --> 00:18:55,840
to turn some quarters very fast and

594
00:18:59,029 --> 00:18:57,679
every time i looked back i saw less of

595
00:19:01,270 --> 00:18:59,039
them chasing me

596
00:19:02,789 --> 00:19:01,280
after making a very precarious turn onto

597
00:19:05,270 --> 00:19:02,799
one of the straight long roads in the

598
00:19:07,350 --> 00:19:05,280
neighborhood i rode as fast as i could

599
00:19:09,430 --> 00:19:07,360
my house is only one turn away from the

600
00:19:10,230 --> 00:19:09,440
end of the road so i tried to book it to

601
00:19:12,070 --> 00:19:10,240
the end

602
00:19:14,230 --> 00:19:12,080
when i was a decent distance down the

603
00:19:15,430 --> 00:19:14,240
road i took one last look behind me and

604
00:19:17,830 --> 00:19:15,440
was horrified

605
00:19:19,430 --> 00:19:17,840
there was this huge thing chasing me it

606
00:19:21,830 --> 00:19:19,440
was very lanky and tall

607
00:19:23,270 --> 00:19:21,840
my guess is around seven feet tall and

608
00:19:25,430 --> 00:19:23,280
had a tall face

609
00:19:27,510 --> 00:19:25,440
it also has very pronounced and long

610
00:19:28,710 --> 00:19:27,520
knuckles i could not make out much

611
00:19:30,870 --> 00:19:28,720
detail other than that

612
00:19:33,190 --> 00:19:30,880
but i definitely remember its pale white

613
00:19:34,950 --> 00:19:33,200
skin it was running at me faster than

614
00:19:37,110 --> 00:19:34,960
i've ever seen anything go

615
00:19:38,070 --> 00:19:37,120
i was going the fastest i've ever gone

616
00:19:39,990 --> 00:19:38,080
on on my bike

617
00:19:42,070 --> 00:19:40,000
yet it was still catching up to me on

618
00:19:44,310 --> 00:19:42,080
foot it looked like it was exerting

619
00:19:46,549 --> 00:19:44,320
itself a lot by running that fast

620
00:19:48,549 --> 00:19:46,559
it was leaning heavily into its run and

621
00:19:50,390 --> 00:19:48,559
its arms were moving quickly beside it

622
00:19:52,070 --> 00:19:50,400
with its hands into fists

623
00:19:53,909 --> 00:19:52,080
i let out an audible yelp due to the

624
00:19:54,549 --> 00:19:53,919
immense terror i was feeling at that

625
00:19:56,710 --> 00:19:54,559
point

626
00:19:59,190 --> 00:19:56,720
i turned the final time onto a smaller

627
00:20:01,430 --> 00:19:59,200
street and then turned into my driveway

628
00:20:02,470 --> 00:20:01,440
i jumped off my still moving bike and

629
00:20:04,549 --> 00:20:02,480
threw open the door

630
00:20:07,029 --> 00:20:04,559
which was luckily unlocked and ran

631
00:20:08,549 --> 00:20:07,039
inside when my mom went to see what was

632
00:20:10,230 --> 00:20:08,559
up i told her there was something

633
00:20:12,149 --> 00:20:10,240
chasing me outside

634
00:20:14,230 --> 00:20:12,159
she ran to go lock the door and heard a

635
00:20:17,669 --> 00:20:14,240
noise that sounded like someone saying

636
00:20:18,390 --> 00:20:17,679
hey outside my mom later reported it to

637
00:20:19,909 --> 00:20:18,400
the police

638
00:20:21,590 --> 00:20:19,919
and they patrolled the neighborhood at

639
00:20:23,830 --> 00:20:21,600
night for about two weeks

640
00:20:25,430 --> 00:20:23,840
it was recently that my girlfriend and i

641
00:20:27,029 --> 00:20:25,440
were talking about this again

642
00:20:29,190 --> 00:20:27,039
and we realized that that thing was

643
00:20:29,750 --> 00:20:29,200
running faster than any human possibly

644
00:20:34,390 --> 00:20:29,760
could

645
00:20:40,630 --> 00:20:34,400
so i thought i would post my story

646
00:20:44,070 --> 00:20:43,190
