DATE:
1979,
November or December
LOCATION:
TN, Robertson County, The family farm
TERRAIN:
Heavily wooded, creek
running through the property.
OBSERVED:
My brother and I were
on our family farm playing in the woods as usual on the weekends.
I think I was 11 and he 10 at the time. We were in a heavily wooded area
with thick underbrush in a valley behind our tobacco barn playing in the
stream that ran along the back side of the barn. We were collecting rocks
and making a dam for a swimming hole for the next summer's use. It was
late in the afternoon- almost dusk on a cold, cloudy day not long after
Thanksgiving.
I kept having one
of those "gut feelings" that something wasn't "right" but I couldn't put
my finger on it, so we kept working. I had mentioned my feeling to my brother,
like we were being watched. I jumped across the creek
holding a large
field rock and heard a stick break loudly. I looked under my feet to find
nothing but leaves and mud, I looked back across at my brother who wasn't
near any dead fall. I also had a severe wake up call in my gut to get out
of there, the hair all over me, especially on the back of my neck and arms
went rigid. I dumped my rock and told my brother we had to get out of there
immediately, something wasn't right, my gut was screaming "DANGER."
He didn't protest as his hackles were also raised by that time.
I retrieved my rifle
from the tree across the creek where we'd left our "weapons" (pump BB air
rifles, we didn't get shotguns till the next Christmas) and walked to the
4 foot woven wire fence we had to cross. I set my BB gun down on the other
side of the fence and grabbed some low hanging tree limbs to assist my
getting across the fence. All the long johns and winter clothes I had on
necessitated a little extra help.
Once I dropped down
on the other side, I turned toward the barn (and the creek behind it, about
20-30 yards from me) to pick up my BB gun. I locked eyes with a... thing,
like nothing I had ever seen before. A huge black,
hairy thing, sort
of crouched down on one knee, slightly behind a large, old oak tree just
across the creek. It was totally covered in long (4-6"), wavy, black/dark
brown hair. It's features were somewhere between an ape and a
man with a very
broad chest and shoulders held erect. It had long arms with big hands,
human-like hands not ape/gorilla-like. It had the most enormous black eyes
(without whites) and, needless to say, scared the absolute
beegeesus out of
me as we stared each other down for I guess 30 seconds to a minute and
a half (although it felt like a couple of eons).
My first thought,
after the initial shock, was my brother. I screamed his name at the top
of my lungs and started pumping my BB gun for all it was worth. I intended
to shoot the thing in the eyes if it moved, reasoning that
would be the only
vunerable area and our only hope of slowing it down if it started toward
either of us. My brother was about 15 yards from me on the other
side of the fence retrieving his BB gun with his back to the creek (maybe
15-20 yards from the thing). My next thought was to run for help and distract
it's attention from my brother, so I took off for the field some 50 yards
away through the woods.
My brother said he
looked at me after I screamed (a truly bloodcurdling scream he claims)
to see I was literally as white as a sheet and thought "what the hell's
wrong with her?" He fired his BB air gun into the ground, it was a long
pistol type model, and stuck it through his belt. Then he said he
looked up across the creek and saw the thing- only it was out from behind
the tree, standing fully erect. My brother cleared a 4 foot fence in one
bound with 2 pair of long underwear and a pair of jeans on when he wasn't
much taller than the fence at the time.
Meanwhile I'd made
it to the field and turned toward the woods with my gun ready, looking
for any sign of my brother and debating about going back in after him.
I was crying and screaming for him hysterically. I was never so glad in
my life to see a hunter's orange sock cap bobbing my way out of those woods.
He ran up to me and said he'd heard it chasing him, but it didn't follow
him out of the woods, yet anyway.
We ran all out, looking
over our shoulders every few seconds, back to the farm house which was
about 1/4 mile across a main road. When we reached the house and "fell
in the door" as my aunt says, we told her and my cousin about our encounter.
They laughed it off nervously, then my aunt confessed to many sightings
and strange occurrences through the years in the area. She told us a man
had disappeared off a bridge on a tractor just below (less than 500 yards
downstream) where we'd been when she was a child. Said the tractor was
found overturned in the creek, but the man never was, the woods were full
of "haints."
I had nightmares
for years afterwards and slept on the edge (about a 12" section) of a double
bed as far away from the window it was up against as I could get without
sleeping in the floor (which I did fall onto a few times).
I didn't set foot
in that area of the farm for years, not until TVA came through and logged
it out for their towers to go across our farm, and not then unless I was
carrying at least a 12 gauge with slugs or "00" in broad
daylight.
Even all these years
later, every time I remember those eyes I stared into, the hair stands
up all over, especially on the back of my neck and forearms.
That incident taught
me to pay close attention to and obey, immediately, those kind of gut feelings.
I'm gone when it hits me the first time now, I don't wait around till it
gets worse.
