A deer hunter in Washington hears child-like cries. Thinking a young hunter needed help, he quickly attempts to render assistance. What he encountered was beyond his belief.
"Telling my story has gotten easier to think about over the years but the end of this incident was the hardest thing for me to accept as fact. I've told one person for 13 and a half years. I'm anxious already but here it is. I'm doing this now mostly to get it out of my head and off my chest. Thinking about it sometimes gives me anxiety. I don't know how people talk about these experiences. It was so unexpected.
I have been hunting black-tailed deer in Washington state for more than 30 years. This was a great day for hunting, with hard rain and gusty winds. I was boat hunting and heading to my area. It's just over six miles away. I made it to my tree, took up my pack, and started to prepare my tree. I was ready to toss the rope over a branch when I heard a deep-voiced child crying out. It sounds completely nuts but it's 100% true and it's the only way I can explain it. It sounded like a deep-voiced child, no words just moans and crying.
As soon as I heard someone needed help, I grabbed my pack and bow and headed in that direction with urgency. It is much farther than I originally estimated. There was an old overgrown logging road with some trees broken and bent down on the side. I guess the hole was naturally created on this road. The heavy rain pooled up in an area and sunk in around seven feet deep. It was such an abrupt fall I worried about sliding in.
As soon as I arrived I announced "I'm here. It's gonna be okay." I tied the rope to a tree. It stopped making childlike cries. All I heard was an off and on slight moan, like an odd hum. I continue to believe it was just a first season young hunter that was extremely scared, maybe injured. "It's okay kiddo. My name is Tony, what's yours?" I tied off my tree hoist and tossed it. Then as soon as I released the rope into the hole, all hell broke loose! I'm getting goosebumps right now. It was crazy.
The trees, less than 10 yards away, swayed and some snapped off. Then a horrifying growl started. With a deeper growl, it was exactly like an angry bear. I pulled up my 10 millimeter from its holster and slid on my butt in reverse. I just knew that a large black bear would sprint out of the trees any second. I had a flashlight in my pocket. I pulled it up and held it down into the hole while pointing my 10 mil at the trees. I was so confused when I saw it. I began to feel like this couldn't happen. I started to think I was losing it then I got my first look at what I thought was a child. It was a child but not a human. I panicked, fell backwards dropping everything including my 10 mil. I quickly crawled forward scratching the earth for my pistol.
My heart was beating so hard that I thought a heart attack was coming. I could hear my heartbeat. I estimated it was just over five feet tall with hair all over it. There was mud and debris knotted to its hair. It was clearly scared and was slightly limping on its right side after it exited the hole. The adult in the trees was very tall with more hair and wider shoulders. They walked away. I sat in the same spot three feet from the sinkhole with mud all over me and my pistol sitting on my lap. I just had to catch my breath. I couldn't understand that these animals were real.
Later, I returned home and knew if I didn't come back I would never hunt again. I went back the next day. I just stayed on the road the whole time. My hands shake a little. I didn't hunt, I just looked around. Then I relaxed a bit. I came around the corner on the logging road and right in the middle was my tree seat and two other things I dropped on my way out. Then I noticed they left pine cones for me. Grass and branches were also stacked. I think they wanted me to have it. I honestly don't know for sure, but it was directly on top of my stuff and assembled deliberately.
Thanks for letting me get this off my chest. I've been afraid to speak of this all these years, though my wife knows about it."

Welcome to Phantoms & Monsters 'Personal Reports' - cryptid & unexplained accounts directly from the archives of Phantoms & Monsters, and the Phantoms & Monster Fortean Research team. Narrated by Lon Strickler. Join us in the chat, discuss, and ask me questions about the accounts.
Featured in this edition:
The Hat Man is a phenomenon in which witnesses report seeing a shadow-like entity dressed in a trench coat and a hat of some kind, usually a fedora.
The Hat Man acts like a ghost, and is usually visible standing up. Many people report "bumping into" this entity, which does absolutely nothing for seconds or even minutes, then moves around a bit and vanishes.
Unlike a ghost, who might have visible facial features, the Hat Man is a shadow with no identifiable features. This entity has substance and many paranormal researchers believe it studies and observes.
So, I ask. HAVE YOU SEEN 'THE HAT MAN?'
In this episode, I will describe the reports and incidents in detail and answer all questions from the chat room.
