While exploring the thick timber of his backyard at just seven years old, he and his two dogs stumbled upon a massive, rust-colored shape hidden beneath the forest floor that "uncoiled" and rose with a guttural groan that shook the earth This encounter left a lasting mark, followed by weeks of strange vocalizations and the feeling of being watched by a dark, vertical shape in the tree line.Next, we head to the shores of Smith Mountain Lake in 1978. A fan shares their story of being 12 years old and encountering a broad-shouldered, midnight-black figure crouched in the jagged shade of a towering pine It wasn't a bear, and it wasn't human—and the reaction from the storyteller's father was enough to confirm that some secrets are best left in the woods .Have you had a similar encounter?
