A new video posted on YouTube by the channel Old Hillbilly Horror has caught the attention of the Bigfoot community. The video, titled "14 TRUE Terrifying Cryptid Encounters Horror Stories (Dogman, Sasquatch, Wendigo, Deep Woods,Creepy)", shares various cryptid encounter stories, including some from the channel's host's childhood experiences in Wheeling, West Virginia during the 1950s. The host shares stories passed down from family members, such as his mother and her sister being kept awake at night by mysterious screaming on a nearby hill. His uncle, a milk deliveryman, spoke of being followed by something unseen, making splashing footsteps in a nearby creek. Another aunt had a close encounter with a creature she described as larger than herself and having a monkey-like face while walking home from a party one night. In addition to these stories, the video features an account of raccoon hunters whose dogs were frightened by a large creature in the underbrush. The hunters reported that the dogs ran past them in terror, and something big hit their door repeatedly before leaving the woods. Towards the end of the video, the host shares a story from a night dive in Hawaii, where a pair of divers encountered something described as a "monstrous and serpentine" creature with a vaguely human-like head. The creature appeared just before their flashlight went out, leaving them stranded in the open ocean. While none of these stories directly involve Bigfoot or Sasquatch, they do highlight the presence of mysterious and potentially paranormal creatures in various locations. The video serves as a reminder that the world is full of unexplained phenomena and that the search for Bigfoot and other cryptids continues.
