A chilling account of an encounter with something otherworldly in the woods of Lewis County has been making the rounds on YouTube. The video, posted by the channel Ex Ranger, features Samuel, a lifelong logger, recounting his terrifying experience with a creature that he can't fully describe.
Samuel was driving along an old logging road, deeper into the woods than he had ever gone before. He was enjoying the quiet of the forest, listening for the sounds of wildlife, when he saw something large and brown moving in a gully off to the side of the road. At first, he thought it was a deer or a bear, but as the creature rose up, he realized that it was something else entirely.
Samuel describes the creature as being taller than any man or bear he had ever seen, covered in thick, matted dark brown hair. Its limbs were powerful, and its shoulders were massive, hunched forward as if it was used to being on all fours. But it was the creature's face that really got to Samuel. He describes it as being flattened, with no snout or long muzzle like a bear or a dog. Instead, it had deep-set, dark eyes that seemed to look right through him.
As Samuel watched, the creature made a sound that he can only describe as a cry, but not like any animal cry he had ever heard. It was deep, guttural, and started low, building up almost like a howl. But it wasn't aggressive, Samuel says. It was more like the creature was startled or confused, just as surprised to see him as he was to see it.
The encounter left Samuel shaken, and he drove straight back to the logging camp, where he told his son Mark and Mark's girlfriend Sarah about what had happened. They were skeptical at first, but as Samuel described the creature and its behavior, they began to get curious. Eventually, they agreed to go back to the spot where Samuel had seen the creature, to see if they could find any evidence of its existence.
What they found instead was more terrifying than Samuel's initial encounter. As they shone their flashlights into the woods, they heard rustling and branches breaking. The sounds weren't random; they were deliberate, like something was smashing its way through the woods towards them. Then, they heard murmuring, low and deep, guttural sounds that weren't animal or human. The sounds were followed by banging, loud and sharp, like something was hitting the trees with its fists or claws.
The three of them quickly got into the truck and drove away, shaken by their experience. Samuel's description of the creature and the sounds they heard in the woods are chilling, and it's easy to see why this video has been making the rounds on YouTube.
If you're a Bigfoot believer, this video is definitely worth watching. It's a chilling reminder that there are still mysteries in the woods, and that some things can't be explained by science or logic. Who knows what Samuel encountered that day in the woods, but one thing is for sure: it wasn't a deer or a bear.
