"That's Not Human": The Pender County 911 Call | Bonus Episode⚠️ Content Warning: This episode contains audio of a real 911 call including panicked speech, strong language, and descriptions of a frightening encounter. Listener discretion is strongly advised.July 31, 2021. A man driving alone on a dark rural highway in Pender County, North Carolina sees something on the roadside. It looks like a person. It looks like it's bleeding. He calls 911.Then something lands in the bed of his moving truck.What happens next — the thud, the screaming, the thing pressing against his rear window — was captured on that call. The Pender County Sheriff's Office confirmed the call was real. Deputies responded, searched the area, and documented scratches on the truck. They found no animal. No person. No explanation.In this bonus episode — tied directly to our Rake episode — Bubah and Z break down the full call, the sheriff's response, and what the witness described when he finally sat down to talk about it. No nose. No ears. Long arms. Big black eyes. Moving on two legs, faster than anything should be able to move, disappearing into the woods.A hoax? An animal? Something the Holly Shelter Game Land has been hiding for years? Or is this another echo of the same thing people have been seeing — and failing to explain — for a very long time?The woods are still there. The swamp is still there. And no one has come forward since.If you were in Pender County that night — or if you've seen something you can't explain — we want to hear from you.Email: [email protected]: @EchosPoddCastFacebook: Search Echosofthepast (All one word) — look for our logo.
