A Wiregrass region of Alabama resident recalls a loud ruckus that occurred one Autumn night when the neighbor's dogs went ballistic, seemingly attacking or defending against an unknown beast.
The following account was forwarded by a colleague:
"I've lived in the Wiregrass area my entire life, so I'm familiar with some of the cryptids in Alabama. Although I live within city limits, the area behind my house and neighborhood is extremely forested so much—so that deer often hang around back there, as I've seen many of their tracks. A few years ago, my brother and I were in our backyard, which has direct access to the forest. The rear right side of our fence line was filled with thick bushes and small trees. In the center of our yard is a large workshop/garage, and to the right of that is a tree with a rope swing that our dad set up, which is where we usually spent our time. It was early autumn when this event happened.
As we were sitting around and goofing off, all the birds and other little critters suddenly went silent. At the time, I didn't know that this usually means a big predator is nearby. We didn't notice the silence at first, but then we heard the sound of branches breaking, which made us turn toward the noise. I could barely make out a big white body moving in the brush, which scared the hell out of me because I didn't know what it was. I got my brother's attention, and we saw that it had drawn closer. Both of us were terrified, so we slowly made our way back to the porch. Whatever it was stopped moving and just watched us. Once we got inside, we refused to go back out, but we didn't explain why to our parents.
I wouldn't be posting about this if not for what happened an hour ago. I was sleeping in my bed when I was woken up by the neighbor's dogs. They're all pretty big and usually don't bark during the night, but this time, all three were barking at once. One of them sounded like it was yelping in pain while it was clear the other two were fighting something. I didn't want to go out on the back porch because I was too scared (plus it was 3 AM), so I opened the window in my room and tried to look outside. I could only hear what was happening, but whatever it was, it was big. I could hear it wrestling with the dogs, but eventually, the sounds stopped, and I heard it running away. I've gone through a list of what it could have been, but I've ruled out a coyote, bear, jaguar, or snake.
Does anyone know anything about this stuff or any similar experiences?" O
NOTE: Alabama cryptid activities have been on our radar for, at least, the past 6-7 years, with multiple investigations underway. Cryptid sightings have included Bigfoot, cryptid canines, and the occasional 'White Thang' (which some witnesses report as a possible albino or light-colored Bigfoot). Lon
