we saw a creature near the border and I've got the pictures<font color="#E5E5E5"> to</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> prove it</font> posted<font color="#E5E5E5"> 11 months ago</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> by Worchester</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">street if you've ever seen</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> a picture of</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">the border between the u.s.</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> and Canada</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">you know that there's a</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> 20-foot gap</font> between trees<font color="#E5E5E5"> that goes all</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> along the</font> 49th parallel<font color="#E5E5E5"> from</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> the</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> Pacific Ocean</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">until the Atlantic</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> I'm a</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> border patrol</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">agent my job is to ride along sections</font> of the border<font color="#E5E5E5"> cutting</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> down any saplings</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">that are starting to grow</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> in that gap</font> and to look for any legal<font color="#E5E5E5"> activity that</font> might<font color="#E5E5E5"> be happening last week I went on a</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">three-day excursion along a 400 mile</font> section<font color="#E5E5E5"> of the border three of us sat</font> out on<font color="#CCCCCC"> snowmobiles myself an older</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> guy</font> named<font color="#CCCCCC"> Brent and a new hire named John we</font> carried extra gas camping supplies and the satellite phone in<font color="#E5E5E5"> case we found</font> anything suspicious<font color="#E5E5E5"> the snow</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> was deep</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">so I'm sure you can imagine after</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> a few</font> hours we were put as far<font color="#E5E5E5"> from</font> civilization<font color="#E5E5E5"> as you can reasonably be</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> in</font> North America we stopped every couple hundred feet to cut down saplings<font color="#CCCCCC"> that</font> had been missed in previous excursions we also made stops if any of us saw any suspicious tracks in the woods<font color="#E5E5E5"> most</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">everything he'd find this far</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> out in the</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">wilderness was either some very extreme</font> hunters or drug cartels smuggling to Canada it was getting<font color="#CCCCCC"> late on the first day of</font> the trip and I was the lead snowmobile carving back and forth in the fresh powder<font color="#CCCCCC"> when I saw a shape</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> blocking the</font> path I pulled my machine off to the side <font color="#CCCCCC">Brent and John</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> following my lead the</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">shape I'd seen was a dead moose that was</font> laying<font color="#E5E5E5"> on its side there was some blood</font> on<font color="#E5E5E5"> the ground next to it but not much</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">Brent walked up to the moose and leaned</font> down<font color="#E5E5E5"> next to it he motioned for me</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> to</font> look the<font color="#CCCCCC"> mooses throat had been cut all</font> the way down to the bone<font color="#CCCCCC"> bran raised an</font> eyebrow at me how do you figure that <font color="#E5E5E5">happens</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> he said I told</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> him that I didn't</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">know but</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> that I'd certainly never</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> seen</font> anything<font color="#E5E5E5"> like it before it looked the</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">Moose over and saw no</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> other damage</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> than</font> the long<font color="#E5E5E5"> clean cut across its throat</font> John blew air into his hands to warm them up<font color="#E5E5E5"> maybe it was a bear or a wolf</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">you've got claws</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> right Brent looked</font> around at<font color="#CCCCCC"> the snowy ground</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> said look</font> like there's enough<font color="#CCCCCC"> blood here</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> to you</font> because it seems<font color="#E5E5E5"> like there's only</font> flecks here and there he pointed to the <font color="#E5E5E5">head and next to the throat there's</font> almost no blood<font color="#CCCCCC"> on the snow</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> at all</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> I</font> realized he was right<font color="#E5E5E5"> not</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> only that but</font> whatever had killed it hadn't taken<font color="#E5E5E5"> any</font> meat<font color="#E5E5E5"> just</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> blood apparently John looked</font> at the two<font color="#E5E5E5"> of us</font> you guys ever<font color="#E5E5E5"> heard about</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> blood-drinking</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">animal out of here before</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> yep</font> but I don't think<font color="#E5E5E5"> it tick did that Brent</font> said pointing we couldn't find any more <font color="#CCCCCC">clues so we rode for a few more</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> miles</font> and<font color="#E5E5E5"> made camp</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> I called up the base on</font> our<font color="#CCCCCC"> satellite phone and</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> told them that</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">we might have found signs of hunters</font> they made a note and told<font color="#E5E5E5"> me that</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> a</font> storm<font color="#E5E5E5"> was coming in would</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> be</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> hitting</font> later the next<font color="#CCCCCC"> day the night passed</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">without any incident</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> and the next</font> morning<font color="#CCCCCC"> we set off again I found a bunch</font> of trees and bushes<font color="#E5E5E5"> in the morning so we</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">wasted a couple of hours hacking at them</font> and cursing the earlier teams that could <font color="#E5E5E5">have dealt with them while they</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> were</font> smaller we made good<font color="#CCCCCC"> time during</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> the</font> afternoon<font color="#CCCCCC"> the border wound up to a rocky</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">mountain where trees didn't grow so we</font> were allowed<font color="#CCCCCC"> to</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> take a detour around the</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">southern base I took</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> some video</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> of</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> the</font> trail it<font color="#CCCCCC"> was only fresh powder</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> so I was</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">having a bit</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> of fun with it in the video</font> I'm in front with Brent and John following behind each of us was hauling a small trailer with her extra gas and supplies as the day ended the snow started falling heavily<font color="#E5E5E5"> and we were</font> eager to<font color="#E5E5E5"> make camp and wait out the</font> storm<font color="#E5E5E5"> so we were already looking for</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> a</font> place that<font color="#E5E5E5"> might work when John signaled</font> for<font color="#E5E5E5"> us to stop he pulled around and he</font> pointed<font color="#E5E5E5"> to some tracks that left the</font> borderline and<font color="#CCCCCC"> curved</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> further south into</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">the woods they were clearly human we</font> both looked at Brent<font color="#E5E5E5"> and he shrugged</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> I</font> guess we need<font color="#CCCCCC"> to check it</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> out if it's a</font> person living<font color="#E5E5E5"> out here maybe we can</font> sleep inside<font color="#E5E5E5"> tonight if it's drug</font> runners<font color="#CCCCCC"> we'll</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> be prepared he pulled his</font> rifle off his machine<font color="#E5E5E5"> he pointed at John</font> why don't you keep an<font color="#E5E5E5"> eye</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> on our</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">machines while we check this out</font> we will radio you if it's anything good we followed the trail<font color="#CCCCCC"> on foot into the</font> woods<font color="#E5E5E5"> for</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> about 20 minutes</font> eventually the woods opened up to a clearing<font color="#E5E5E5"> single room cabin was visible</font> through<font color="#CCCCCC"> the falling snow with its lights</font> off inside<font color="#CCCCCC"> the Bren told me to keep</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> an</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">eye</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> out for extra prints</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> and</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> to circle</font> around it to meet up on<font color="#CCCCCC"> the</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> other</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> side</font> when we met neither of us had<font color="#E5E5E5"> seen any</font> extra footprints <font color="#E5E5E5">Brent slung his rifle this guy's</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">probably just some hermit if it was a</font> cartel<font color="#CCCCCC"> we'd have seen</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> more activity he</font> said I told him it was probably true but <font color="#CCCCCC">that</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> if possible the falling snow had</font> covered<font color="#CCCCCC"> up other tracks</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> Brent gave the</font> go-ahead to<font color="#E5E5E5"> approach the door the two of</font> us made our<font color="#E5E5E5"> way towards the house and</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> I</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">yelled out Customs and</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> Border Patrol</font> there was no<font color="#E5E5E5"> answer and as if we got</font> closer I saw why the front door was swinging open<font color="#E5E5E5"> on its hinges inside the</font> cabin he climbed the steps<font color="#E5E5E5"> and flashed</font> our lights inside there was so<font color="#E5E5E5"> much</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">blood</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> every surface inside the cabin was</font> flecked<font color="#CCCCCC"> with it</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> there was</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> a pool in</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> the</font> center<font color="#CCCCCC"> of the room there</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> wasn't a body</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">just blood signs of a violent struggle</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> I</font> walked up to the stove and held my hand <font color="#E5E5E5">next</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> to it it was still</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> warm to the</font> touch <font color="#CCCCCC">brent kicked a piece of cloth into the</font> blood and<font color="#CCCCCC"> it came away wet when he</font> tugged on it what happened here he asked<font color="#E5E5E5"> we turned back to the door</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> I</font> knelt down and<font color="#E5E5E5"> saw that something had</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">cut away the wood where the door handle</font> had been it looked like a huge exacto knife had been<font color="#E5E5E5"> taken</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">to it there were straight</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> deep lines</font> crisscrossing all over it<font color="#E5E5E5"> and a gaping</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">hole</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> where the handle had been Brent</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">swore under his breath as he took</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> the</font> door in there maybe<font color="#E5E5E5"> he asked I asked him</font> what<font color="#CCCCCC"> kind of bear made such perfectly</font> straight cuts<font color="#E5E5E5"> top of that what kind of</font> bear knew to attack the handle of the <font color="#CCCCCC">door</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> we didn't have any answers and both</font> knew we had<font color="#CCCCCC"> to get out of there I had</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">just gotten back to my feet when I heard</font> it this unnatural croaking sound echoed from the clearing outside<font color="#E5E5E5"> sounded like</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">somebody choking but impossibly loud did</font> you hear that Brent asked that noise<font color="#E5E5E5"> me and Brent both</font> pointed our guns at the<font color="#CCCCCC"> door and waited</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">listening hard the moment passed and we</font> didn't hear anything other than the wind and<font color="#E5E5E5"> falling snow I told Brent we had to</font> make<font color="#E5E5E5"> our way</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> back we left the cabin</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> and</font> started back towards the<font color="#E5E5E5"> north where</font> we'd<font color="#CCCCCC"> come from just</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> before we entered</font> the woods I thought<font color="#E5E5E5"> take a picture of</font> the cabin<font color="#CCCCCC"> I walked back to our machines</font> was<font color="#E5E5E5"> tense to say the least</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> we didn't</font> hear any more croaking and made the walk back in half time<font color="#E5E5E5"> finally the</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> gods</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> where</font> we left<font color="#E5E5E5"> our snowmobiles</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> and found them</font> with John keeping watch we hopped on our machines and drove for<font color="#CCCCCC"> an hour so</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> we</font> wanted<font color="#CCCCCC"> to be as far from</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> that cabin as</font> possible before we<font color="#E5E5E5"> stopped for the night</font> we made<font color="#E5E5E5"> cannon up and decided to set a</font> watch rotation<font color="#CCCCCC"> I called base and</font> reported<font color="#E5E5E5"> what we'd seen in the cabin</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">they said they'd send</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> a team out</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> in a</font> helicopter next day to investigate<font color="#E5E5E5"> I was glad for</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">that</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> you weren't detectives and none</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> of</font> us had any experience investigating <font color="#E5E5E5">whatever this situation was we set out</font> early<font color="#E5E5E5"> the next morning</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> and figured we'd</font> make<font color="#CCCCCC"> it</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> to base late that</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> night if we</font> made good time<font color="#E5E5E5"> the ride was only</font> occasionally<font color="#CCCCCC"> broken up by stopping</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> to</font> cut<font color="#E5E5E5"> trees the mood</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> was tense and nobody</font> said much during<font color="#E5E5E5"> our lunch breaks or</font> while we worked<font color="#E5E5E5"> pretty</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> soon the Sun had</font> dipped below the<font color="#E5E5E5"> horizon</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> and</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> we switched</font> on the snowmobile headlights to see all <font color="#E5E5E5">three of</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> us wanted to get to a warm bed</font> before<font color="#CCCCCC"> the</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> night was over her only a few</font> hours<font color="#E5E5E5"> away when we pulled off to cut</font> down<font color="#E5E5E5"> a few more trees that were creeping</font> over the line I chopped the biggest one with a chain side brought while Brent and<font color="#CCCCCC"> John were hacking some of the</font> smaller saplings with machetes<font color="#CCCCCC"> a tree</font> had finally cracked and fallen when Brent called<font color="#E5E5E5"> out</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> I walked over to where</font> he was<font color="#CCCCCC"> kneeling down in the</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> snow he</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">nodded his</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> head toward</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> the ground I bent</font> over to<font color="#E5E5E5"> take a look it was a print in</font> the snow<font color="#E5E5E5"> it looked like a human hand</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> but</font> bigger I noticed long thin marks running from each finger which reminded me<font color="#CCCCCC"> of bear</font> claws<font color="#E5E5E5"> that looks like a human hand</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">doesn't it Brent asked</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">I told him that it did except for</font> whatever those claw<font color="#CCCCCC"> marks were and I</font> heard it again the impossibly loud croaking from the woods<font color="#E5E5E5"> guys John</font> shouted he was<font color="#E5E5E5"> pointing into</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> the woods</font> to our left<font color="#CCCCCC"> I followed his finger and</font> saw a creature standing behind a tree <font color="#E5E5E5">about</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> a</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> hundred feet away it looked</font> humanoid but was on all fours<font color="#CCCCCC"> with</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">impossibly long arms and</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> legs it had</font> white skin<font color="#E5E5E5"> and fingers that each ended</font> with a long claw<font color="#CCCCCC"> I saw its face</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> it</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> was</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">covered in dried</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> blood</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> with eyes so red</font> they almost shined in the darkness and it was<font color="#E5E5E5"> staring at us</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> croaking I had my</font> phone in<font color="#CCCCCC"> my hand</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> so I took a picture I</font> don't know why<font color="#CCCCCC"> I was operating on</font> instinct I guess<font color="#E5E5E5"> it was dark</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> so you</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">won't be</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> able</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> to see much the creatures</font> started moving toward us mostly<font color="#E5E5E5"> on two</font> legs<font color="#E5E5E5"> but using a</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> ten sometimes two we</font> jumped<font color="#E5E5E5"> on our snowmobiles and hit the</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">gas</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> before it got close I rode faster</font> than<font color="#CCCCCC"> had ever</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> gone before none of us</font> said a word we just<font color="#E5E5E5"> rode as hard as we</font> could<font color="#E5E5E5"> the ride back to base took another</font> two hours<font color="#E5E5E5"> or so but we didn't slow down</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">until we made it into the station</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">I quit my job soon after that I don't</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">know</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> what they found when they went back</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">to check</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> the cabin might be worth</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">looking into</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">Bigfoot tried</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> to kill us</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> posted five</font> months ago by<font color="#E5E5E5"> Tracy 1765 the</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> story I'm</font> about to tell<font color="#CCCCCC"> you is</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> true it's one of</font> the most<font color="#CCCCCC"> terrifying things that has ever</font> happened to me<font color="#CCCCCC"> and I still</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> have</font> nightmares about<font color="#E5E5E5"> it to this day</font> I live in<font color="#CCCCCC"> rural Kansas</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> literally out in</font> the sticks<font color="#E5E5E5"> we have a pretty good-sized</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">River</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> here and it's really good for</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">catfishing it was at this river</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> when me</font> and<font color="#E5E5E5"> my family were almost killed by an</font> enraged Bigfoot first let me<font color="#E5E5E5"> explain a</font> bit<font color="#CCCCCC"> about the area we live in around</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> the</font> rivers here<font color="#E5E5E5"> at the trees cover can get</font> really<font color="#E5E5E5"> thick</font> especially around sparsely populated areas where the nearest neighbors are a lot of<font color="#E5E5E5"> miles apart such as the case</font> where I grew up<font color="#E5E5E5"> trust me they could do</font> not only<font color="#E5E5E5"> live in forests and mountains</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">they're here too</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> where the</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> white-tailed</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">deer are</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> plentiful and the game is</font> plentiful<font color="#E5E5E5"> to the river where we go</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">fishing out was not a huge</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> river but not</font> a<font color="#CCCCCC"> creek either the spot my dad had</font> chosen<font color="#E5E5E5"> was about 300 feet</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> across and</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> not</font> particularly too deep probably<font color="#CCCCCC"> about 5</font> foot<font color="#E5E5E5"> to 6 feet in some</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> places he had</font> spotted a few good holes here<font color="#E5E5E5"> and was</font> sure there<font color="#E5E5E5"> was some nice catfish in them</font> this place was heavily wooded and<font color="#E5E5E5"> it was</font> miles<font color="#CCCCCC"> from any towns or farms</font> me and my older brother<font color="#CCCCCC"> my mom and my</font> dad<font color="#CCCCCC"> packed up our gear and</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> set out about</font> an hour and a half before dark when we got there we<font color="#CCCCCC"> headed down</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> a short</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">Bank</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> there was a</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> Ledge we sat on and</font> began<font color="#E5E5E5"> to finish I was a coarse teasing</font> my brother<font color="#E5E5E5"> telling him that I could</font> catch the biggest fish<font color="#E5E5E5"> to it she laughed</font> and<font color="#CCCCCC"> said I wouldn't</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> catch</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> anything</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> with</font> my<font color="#E5E5E5"> little podunk</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> pull</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> to be honest we</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">weren't getting any bites but</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> Dad had</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">caught a big carp</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> it was starting to get</font> dark<font color="#E5E5E5"> so my brother led a Boy Scout flare</font> he had made it fizzled out after a while and<font color="#E5E5E5"> it wasn't quite dark yet the Sun was</font> just<font color="#CCCCCC"> above</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> sad when we heard it terrible</font> ruckus coming from the other<font color="#E5E5E5"> side of the</font> river my mom rushed us out on the<font color="#E5E5E5"> other</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">side</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> of the bank a bunch of deer came</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">running out of</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> the trees</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> and right</font> behind<font color="#E5E5E5"> them was a huge figure chasing</font> them looked<font color="#E5E5E5"> like what you think Bigfoot</font> would look<font color="#E5E5E5"> like a mom coughed and all of</font> a<font color="#CCCCCC"> sudden it roared like something I had</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">never heard before holy shit</font> my dad yelled<font color="#E5E5E5"> my mom and my</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> brother and</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">I were already running up the bank up</font> the car I was<font color="#CCCCCC"> so terrified I couldn't</font> move<font color="#CCCCCC"> but then he got much worse it half</font> roared half screamed and jumped<font color="#CCCCCC"> in the</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">river and started waiting towards us</font> it was huge covered with black<font color="#E5E5E5"> fern</font> stood almost<font color="#CCCCCC"> six feet</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> tall its eyes</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">glowed red with fury he handed it to</font> Long Fangs<font color="#E5E5E5"> I'll never forget</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> that human</font> animal face my dad dropped everything scooped me up<font color="#E5E5E5"> and ran as fast as he</font> could<font color="#CCCCCC"> off that</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> Bank he threw me in the</font> back<font color="#CCCCCC"> seat and started the</font><font color="#E5E5E5">

just pee anywhere</font> but because we had seen<font color="#E5E5E5"> a few fishermen</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">walk by a couple of hours ago I'd</font> figured he'd be<font color="#CCCCCC"> safe to</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> just go piss in</font> the trees we<font color="#E5E5E5"> usually go behind this</font> massive fallen tree that's roughly<font color="#E5E5E5"> 50</font> yards into<font color="#E5E5E5"> the woods</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">it's leaned at a perfect</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> angle that</font> provides<font color="#E5E5E5"> total obscurity from the</font>

color="#E5E5E5">pissing the sky was suddenly enveloped</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">in clouds in a matter of seconds it was</font> bizarre<font color="#E5E5E5"> there was still daylight but it</font> was more<font color="#CCCCCC"> grey and toned down as opposed</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">to the sunlight you'd get with a clear</font> blue sky<font color="#E5E5E5"> it reminded me of a winter

color="#CCCCCC">fast</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> as I'm zipping up I hear</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> a</font> tremendous loud crack<font color="#E5E5E5"> right behind me</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">I'd say about 30 yards</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> away based on its</font> reverb so I'm in the middle<font color="#CCCCCC"> of turning</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">around my face is

color="#E5E5E5"> scan the area where I</font> heard<font color="#E5E5E5"> the sound but I see nothing my</font> immediate<font color="#E5E5E5"> thought was that it was an old</font> tree branch

direction<font color="#CCCCCC"> I'd be a liar</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> if I told you my</font> heart wasn't racing like a motherfucker at this point<font color="#E5E5E5"> I could easily it just ran</font> back to the<font color="#E5E5E5"> fishing hole but curiosity</font> kept my feet<font color="#E5E5E5"> glued it was like knowing</font> what<font color="#E5E5E5"> made that sound</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> was a prerequisite</font> to concluding our fishing trip after about two minutes<font color="#E5E5E5"> of me standing</font> there foolishly<font color="#E5E5E5"> and realizing that I'm</font> getting drenched in the rain<font color="#CCCCCC"> I chalked</font> the noise up to<font color="#E5E5E5"> thunder and turn around</font> to<font color="#E5E5E5"> head back to my father</font> part of me was in<font color="#E5E5E5"> denial though it</font> wasn't<font color="#CCCCCC"> a boom</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> sound like thunder</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> this</font> was a crack like<font color="#CCCCCC"> something big</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> being</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">snapped in half</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> I took about</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> three steps</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">in the direction of the fishing hole</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">when I heard the</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> most

color="#CCCCCC">it it sounded</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> like two men screaming in</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">unison with slightly different</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> pitches</font> in their

crunch<font color="#E5E5E5"> crunch something's walking</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">in the woods</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> something very close to me</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">dad dad dad dad</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> was all I could</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> manage</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">to get</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> out in between short breaths</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> and</font> holy shit<font color="#CCCCCC"> I see it while sprinting</font> forward<font color="#CCCCCC"> I see a dark mass in the far</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">left of my

color="#CCCCCC">everything in the corner of my eyes was</font> bushes and trees<font color="#CCCCCC"> and then I realized</font> this<font color="#E5E5E5"> isn't an immobile object that's</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">growing this</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> is something that's coming</font> closer getting bigger<font color="#E5E5E5"> as the distance</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">between us closes suddenly it hit</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> me</font> that<font color="#CCCCCC"> this approaching object was</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> the</font> source of the crunch<font color="#E5E5E5"> so I turned my</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> head</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">to</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> the</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> left and what I saw</font> accelerated me<font color="#CCCCCC"> to speeds</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> that I wouldn't</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">think</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> are humanly possible approaching</font> me with tremendous speed was an ape-like creature with massive swinging arms those I remember the most<font color="#E5E5E5"> the</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> arms were</font> massive<font color="#E5E5E5"> and long almost lanky in the way</font> they dangled but muscular<font color="#E5E5E5"> this creature</font> was bipedal you know how when you go to the<font color="#E5E5E5"> zoo you see monkeys and gorillas</font> walking around with some<font color="#CCCCCC"> assistance of</font> their<font color="#E5E5E5"> forearms kind of tromping around</font> on all<font color="#CCCCCC"> fours but</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> occasionally using just</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">2 feet before leaning back</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> onto all</font> fours yeah<font color="#E5E5E5"> not this thing this

was that</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> all it had to</font> do was reach out to<font color="#E5E5E5"> grab me because</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> its</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">arms seemed long enough to do that this</font> thing was so fucking close to me and<font color="#E5E5E5"> all</font> I<font color="#E5E5E5"> could focus on was going faster and</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">faster and faster I recall the awful</font> smell being present again it was in full force<font color="#CCCCCC"> just the worst stench</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> anything on</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">this

I</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">can recall</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> from my brief glimpse of this</font> demon of<font color="#E5E5E5"> The Woodlands was that it was</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">easily about seven to eight feet tall</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">and matted with</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> thick brown fur very</font> long fur<font color="#CCCCCC"> to its head was conical in</font> shape<font color="#CCCCCC"> it seemed</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> to narrow at the</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> top</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> but</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">I'm head to toe</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> this thing was matted</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">and long brown hair</font> I remember seeing bits of leaf and <font color="#E5E5E5">foliage stuck throughout the fur on its</font> body<font color="#CCCCCC"> too</font> I didn't dare try and<font color="#CCCCCC"> make out facial</font> details<font color="#E5E5E5"> although sometimes I wish I had</font> I couldn't see<font color="#E5E5E5"> much of the face</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> from</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> my</font> distance<font color="#E5E5E5">

looks<font color="#CCCCCC"> like</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> its body gave me more than</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">enough fear for a</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> lifetime</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> by this point</font> the rain is coming<font color="#E5E5E5"> down heavy and I kept</font> telling<font color="#E5E5E5"> myself in my head please don't</font> slip<font color="#E5E5E5"> please don't slip</font> please don't slip<font color="#E5E5E5"> Dadda I screamed</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> for</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">the thousandth time</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> I remember making a</font> few attempts to scream and nothing would come out<font color="#E5E5E5"> because</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> my throat was</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> so raw</font> and<font color="#E5E5E5"> sore from screaming I also remember</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">thinking why does it feel like my dad</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> so</font> far<font color="#E5E5E5"> away the walk to the piss spot is a</font> short one<font color="#E5E5E5"> and yet I swear I was running</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">full-speed for a good few minutes before</font> I made it back fear does these incredible<font color="#E5E5E5"> things</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> to</font> your sense of time and<font color="#CCCCCC"> space</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> as I</font> approach<font color="#CCCCCC"> the clearing and</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> can make out</font> the pickup truck<font color="#E5E5E5"> by some incredible</font> grace of parental<font color="#E5E5E5"> issue</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> ition</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> my dad</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">pulls some very genius shit</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> I'm not sure</font> what<font color="#E5E5E5"> prompted him to do this but as I'm</font> approaching<font color="#E5E5E5"> the fishing hole</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> I see him</font> standing<font color="#CCCCCC"> by the edge of the</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> wood line</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">looking</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> for me through the foliage</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> his</font> truck<font

whatever</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">was</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> happening to me</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> was going to involve</font> a<font color="#CCCCCC"> much needed</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> quick escape the truck was</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">parked in a way where the</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> driver's side</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">was already facing the wood line I'm</font> running out of so I like<font color="#CCCCCC"> to</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> think we</font> were dealt<font color="#E5E5E5"> a good hand on this day at</font> the very<font color="#CCCCCC"> moment we made eye contact</font> my dad turns around<font color="#CCCCCC"> hauls</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> asked for the</font> driver's seat<font color="#CCCCCC"> but not before shouting</font> jump in the bed<font color="#E5E5E5"> get in the back hurry I</font> should note that this<font color="#E5E5E5"> is only a</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">two-seater pickup so my options were to</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">circle around the truck and get in the</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">passenger door</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> or</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> to jump in the bed</font> it's obvious which option is far less <font color="#E5E5E5">time-consuming</font> crunch-crunch-crunch all I can think about is how happy<font color="#E5E5E5"> I'm</font> gonna<font color="#E5E5E5"> be to see the</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> fucking</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> interstate</font> again crunch thud<font color="#E5E5E5"> thud this thing is</font> still following me<font color="#CCCCCC"> and</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> is now out of the</font> woods<font color="#E5E5E5"> and running on the dirt</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> it's foot</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">steps are the only indicator of its</font> presence<font color="#E5E5E5"> while my visual</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> focus is</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> purely</font> on what's ahead <font color="#CCCCCC">I</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> remembered quickly eyeballing the best</font> point on the ground<font color="#E5E5E5"> to jump from to make</font> it into the pickup<font color="#E5E5E5"> bed smoothly</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> thought</font> thud the and then another shriek the shriek happened<font color="#E5E5E5"> just as I made</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> my leap of faith</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">and I would even</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> go</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> so far as to say</font> that it terrified me so much<font color="#E5E5E5"> in a way</font> that it made my jump<font color="#E5E5E5"> even stronger</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">I jumped like my life depended on it and</font> no sooner<font color="#CCCCCC"> than my body made contact</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> with</font> the bed of the truck<font color="#CCCCCC"> my dad</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">fucking Florida's I shifted violently</font> around<font color="#E5E5E5"> as he gunned from 0 to 60 miles</font> per<font color="#E5E5E5"> hour</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> I couldn't feel the vicious</font> bruised my arm had taken when I landed <font color="#E5E5E5">on one of the tackle boxes</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> I couldn't</font> feel the sharp<font color="#E5E5E5"> ringing in my ears from</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">the shriek</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> of the</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> defeated creature</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> I</font> couldn't feel the sting<font color="#CCCCCC"> of the two</font> fishing hooks<font color="#E5E5E5"> the burrow just beneath</font> the skin at my right calf<font color="#CCCCCC"> I didn't care</font> about<font color="#CCCCCC"> anything</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> I only cared about going</font> home<font color="#E5E5E5"> as I gathered myself and braced</font> myself in the bed of<font color="#E5E5E5"> the</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> truck</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> I looked</font> down the rapidly<font color="#CCCCCC"> vanishing to her path</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">we had come from</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> I</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> caught only a glimpse</font> of the creatures<font color="#E5E5E5"> back as it strode back</font> into the dense<font color="#E5E5E5"> foliage of</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> the</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> wood lion</font> rain was pouring<font color="#E5E5E5"> down heavily creating a</font> light film of mist that eventually shrouded the remainder of the creature <font color="#E5E5E5">tall</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> Bilt's</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> hairy and aggressive it</font> looked<font color="#E5E5E5"> like its head was hung low on its</font> shoulders weren't slouched<font color="#CCCCCC"> its posture</font> didn't seem as<font color="#E5E5E5"> upright</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> as it</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> was when it</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">was chasing me whatever</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> this</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> thing was</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">it was used to having its way</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> and today</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">we didn't grant him the head</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">I remember grinning from ear to ear as</font> we<font color="#CCCCCC"> approach the</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> first back road</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> that led</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">a small town to the east seeing a stop</font> sign had never made me so happy<font color="#CCCCCC"> my life</font> it was more than<font color="#E5E5E5"> just a stop sign it was</font> a sign of<font color="#E5E5E5"> humanity</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> a sign that</font> civilization<font color="#CCCCCC"> was near during the</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">30-minute drive to town one</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> thought kept</font> racing through my<font color="#E5E5E5"> mind</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> that was a</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">freaking sasquatch</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> we stopped at a bait</font> shop<font color="#CCCCCC"> the small Native American town</font> which consisted of a<font color="#E5E5E5"> few old wooden</font> shops and some town folk who<font color="#CCCCCC"> were</font> bringing<font color="#E5E5E5"> things inside and scurrying to</font> cover<font color="#CCCCCC"> up their belongings</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> from</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> the</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">rainfall we asked the</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> owner of the shop</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">if he had any band-aids and a sink we</font> could use since my leg was<font color="#CCCCCC"> bleeding</font> pretty heavily<font color="#E5E5E5"> from the fish hooks he</font> looked<font color="#E5E5E5"> like he was in his</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> mid-30s very</font> smooth complexion<font color="#E5E5E5"> dark brown skin</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> and a</font> long black ponytail running down<font color="#E5E5E5"> his</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">back he was more than</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> happy</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> to</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> help us</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">after he saw my leg he went into the</font> back<font color="#CCCCCC"> office</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> and returned</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> with a wet</font> washcloth<font color="#E5E5E5"> and some gauze and it was</font> accompanied by an older<font color="#CCCCCC"> man</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> it looked</font> like he<font color="#E5E5E5"> was in</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> his 60s</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> with brown</font> wrinkled skin long gray hair<font color="#CCCCCC"> also in a</font> ponytail<font color="#E5E5E5"> we explained the story to them</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">while the older man was inspecting my</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">wound</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> and after he removed the hooks and</font> cleaned up<font color="#E5E5E5"> the cut he wrapped my leg</font> firmly with gauze then the younger man<font color="#E5E5E5"> spoke to us about</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">how he's heard similar stories from</font> people<font color="#CCCCCC"> around</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> the lake before of a large</font> hairy creature who lurks in the woods <font color="#E5E5E5">none</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> of the people</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> in</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> town are</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> from the</font> reservation<font color="#CCCCCC"> never go near the lake</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">according</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> to him it's considered cursed</font> grounds and he explained to<font color="#E5E5E5"> us that some</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">Native ancestors were</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> buried there for</font> various atrocities I don't fully <font color="#E5E5E5">remember every fine detail he told us</font> but he definitely<font color="#E5E5E5"> said that's an area</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">that</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> people</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> avoid which would explain</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">why</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> it seems like no one has ever there</font> he said<font color="#E5E5E5"> oftentimes fishermen will come</font> back<font color="#E5E5E5"> from the lake and stop in town to</font> get gas and share stories<font color="#CCCCCC"> of seeing</font> large beasts<font color="#E5E5E5"> while they were down there</font> some of them say they saw a massive<font color="#E5E5E5"> bear</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">is walking around</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> like men the</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> older man</font> asked us if we were familiar<font color="#E5E5E5"> with</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> the</font> legend<font color="#E5E5E5"> of Sasquatch</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> and</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> my dad and I</font> both<font color="#E5E5E5"> said we were and that</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> it was our</font> first guess when<font color="#CCCCCC"> we saw the creature I</font> remember the old man<font color="#E5E5E5"> just nodded his</font> head<font color="#E5E5E5"> and went back</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> into the office</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> those</font> were the only<font color="#E5E5E5"> words he said it creeped</font> me out <font color="#E5E5E5">It was as if he</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> was silently confirming</font> our suspicions<font color="#E5E5E5"> the younger man told us</font> one last<font color="#E5E5E5"> story about how there are</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> tales</font> that the<font color="#E5E5E5"> Sasquatch causes thunderstorms</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">he summons rain because</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> it somehow</font> affects the patterns that<font color="#E5E5E5"> fish appear or</font> something to that<font color="#E5E5E5"> extent</font> I don't remember<font color="#E5E5E5"> the specifics</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> but he</font> noted that<font color="#E5E5E5"> it</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> was interesting that we</font> were<font color="#CCCCCC"> telling him</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> the story</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> of</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> what just</font> happened<font color="#E5E5E5"> when a thunderstorm had just</font> picked up the<font color="#E5E5E5"> net recall that when</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> I</font> first<font color="#E5E5E5"> heard the crack while peeing</font> the raindrops<font color="#E5E5E5"> started to pour down and</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">eventually became a thunderstorm it gave</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">me</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> the chills</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">after my wound was taken care of</font> we<font color="#CCCCCC"> thanked the men</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> and left the bait</font> shop<font color="#E5E5E5"> my dad ran into the gas station</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> and</font> bought<font color="#CCCCCC"> two beers for us we sat in the</font> parked truck and each drank our beer while<font color="#E5E5E5"> holy shit every detail</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> of</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> our</font> encounter while nightfall slowly took over<font color="#E5E5E5"> the</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> evening then after a good few</font> minutes of speculating<font color="#E5E5E5"> and thanking God</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">that everything turned out</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> ok we got</font> back on the<font color="#E5E5E5"> interstate</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> and headed home</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">the rain coming down in</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> sheets we've</font> told<font color="#CCCCCC"> family and friends our encounter</font> nobody ever seems<font color="#E5E5E5"> to fully understand</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">what we went</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> through on that summer day</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">how can they</font> it's a terror that has to be<font color="#E5E5E5"> felt</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> to</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> be</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">understood they didn't see what we saw</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">but that's ok</font> I wouldn't wish such a sight on my own worst enemy<font color="#CCCCCC"> I guess this experience has</font> taught<font color="#CCCCCC"> me two things</font> as humans were only<font color="#E5E5E5"> a tiny speck</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> in a</font> world that's beyond our<font color="#E5E5E5"> control</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> we can</font> never truly know<font color="#E5E5E5"> everything that's out</font> there and to those who<font color="#E5E5E5"> remain skeptical</font> of anything deemed an imperfection in the history<font color="#CCCCCC"> of mankind I must say such a</font> stance demands<font color="#E5E5E5"> great ignorant</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> oh and</font> lastly just<font color="#E5E5E5"> piss wherever the hell you</font> <font
