A family in the Ozarks of Missouri, living near the National Forest, has had a series of unsettling encounters that have left them feeling threatened and on edge. The father, Rick, his wife Kathy, and their three boys, including twins and their oldest son Danny, moved to the area in October 1995, after Rick received a call from his brother about opening a restaurant in the town of Ozark, Missouri.
One night, while Rick was letting their dog Clancy out, he noticed something unusual. Clancy was staring out the back sliding glass door, refusing to go outside. When Rick looked out, he saw nothing at first, but then Clancy began barking, yelping, and whimpering uncontrollably. Kathy, hearing the commotion, came to the top of the stairs and asked Rick what was going on. Rick initially thought it might be a coyote or a deer, but as he continued to watch, he felt a sudden feeling of dread wash over him. He couldn't shake the feeling that something was watching him, something threatening.
A week later, Danny saw something run across the backyard. He described it as a wolf running on two feet, large and terrifying. This sighting shook Danny up so much that he wanted to sleep in his parents' room for the next week. Rick, still unaware of any connection between the two incidents, dismissed Danny's sighting as a misunderstanding or exaggeration.
Tragedy struck when Kathy called Rick at work to tell him that something had attacked Clancy. Rick raced home, filled with worry and concern, only to find Kathy in the kitchen, caring for their injured dog. Kathy explained that she had let Clancy out to do his business, and he had immediately started barking at something behind the woodpile. She ran outside to get him, and just before she reached the woodpile, she heard a commotion and thrashing in the woods.
These encounters have left the family feeling uneasy and concerned for their safety. While they have not explicitly identified the source of their fear, the vivid descriptions of the events suggest a possible paranormal presence in the area.
