Unexplained CRYPTID PHENOMENA Encounters in Wheeling, West Virginia

A woman mentions that a transparent 'thing' currently scares her during her walks. She also relates a few unexplained encounters that occurred in the Wheeling, WV area in the 1950s.

"These things have been bothering me and scaring me on my morning walks. It's been very frightening but I refuse to give up my daily walks no matter how scared I have been. I've had the mind speak thing. They have touched me and I've seen some kind of transparent thing climbing a tree. So it's not been fun.

Aside from what is currently happening to me, I wanted to relate some stories from my childhood which, while they seemed so bizarre back then, makes sense now. The stuff took place in the Wheeling, West Virginia area. This is in the 1950s time period. My family lived there at the time. My mom would talk about being kept up at night by something screaming on the hill at night. She and her sister would not be able to sleep because of it.

My uncle had a milk delivery route those days. He would walk from house to house, clocked in the bottles. He told of being followed by something that was shadowing him in a nearby creek. He could hear the footsteps splashing and they would stop when he would stop. This happened to him several times. He didn't know what it was.

Then another time my aunt snuck out of the house to attend a party with some friends. When they returned her they dropped her off a couple blocks from the house so the lights from the car wouldn't alert my grandparents. She heard some twigs snapping and the next thing she knew something came rolling off the hill right beside her. It sat there in a ball for a moment, then it stood up. She was under a street light, so she got a good look at it. All she said was it was bigger than her and it had the face of a monkey. She was hysterical. By the time she got home, she was so scared it took them all night to calm her down.

Finally, there was the story of some raccoon hunters out one night with their dogs. This thing was in the same area the dogs were on the scent of a raccoon barking up a tree. Just as the men almost caught up to the dogs they heard the dog start screaming and they hear something big in the underbrush. The next thing they know, the dogs were running at them, then passed them headed for home. They took off running too, all the way back with whatever it was behind them. They opened the door to the house, and the dogs and men ran in the door, and whatever it was hit the door repeatedly before leaving.

The woods and underbrush in the area are very dense and it's very dark in the woods, or at least it was back then. At the time there wasn't any talk about Bigfoot, so that wasn't something that was considered. I used to think the phenomenon was something that happened in remote areas. I know that's not true now and what my aunt experienced was more than likely a sighting of one."

The Appalachian Trail meanders amid mountains and valleys for 2,190 miles through 14 states from Georgia to Maine. Hundreds of thousands of people step foot on it each year. The biggest danger is not being prepared for the challenging hike. But there are also bears, coyotes, snakes, and ticks that frequent it. Then there are those 'things' that are not usually talked about. Sit back and listen to a few of the strange and terrifying tales that have become Appalachian Trail lore.

In this episode, I will describe the reports and incidents in detail and answer all questions from the chat room.
