Strange Experience At Werewolf Holler
Hello,
I discovered that you have several places in your stories columns that I
personally have had experiences. One being the Holler. This is the sum of my
experience and research on the experience. My ex-wife's uncle lived about half
of a mile from there on a farm. His Sons and I were close friends and I spent a
lot of time there. We frequently heard animal like screams come from the
woods. Similar to what a cougar sounds like if you have ever heard one. But in
a much deeper tone. Legend has it that around 1950 some youths were parked
there making out when something jumped on top the car, ripped through the
convertible top grabbing them, killing and mutilating their bodies leaving them
spread through-out the woods.
My experience is as follows;
Myself and two others wanted to deer hunt in bow season. Money was tight so
My Ex-wife's Uncle gave us permission to hunt the holler. We got to the woods
around 4 AM: not yet daylight we decided to just nap in the jeep until it got light
enough. For the next 3 hrs we kept hearing loud noises from the woods. large
tree limbs breaking. None of us slept. Around 7: Am we got out of the jeep and
headed into the woods. It was just starting to get Daylight but still to dark to see
clearly and a thin mist covered the air. We got about 300 yards into the woods
walking single file on a deer trail. I was second in line. All of a sudden my friend
in front stopped abruptly. He didn't say anything for a couple of seconds then
very nervously said Back Up Real Slow. I looked around him at that time and
saw A figure standing about 20 ft in front of us. It was in my best judgement
about 9 ft tall, heavy build, 4 in. hair all over it,standing erect like a man. It was
just standing there snorting as though it was trying to get our scent. I remember
that its hair was all tangled looking with dead leaves hanging in it.
I began trying to back up the trail without turning around and putting my back to
it. It let out a deafening roar and walked of the path to our left matching our
steps constantly watching us until we were about 30 ft from the roadway. At
that time it stopped went down on all 4 legs and disappeared back into the
woods. For a long time we never said anything about it to anyone because it
sounded so unbelievable. This is what happened to me that morning and I will
never forget it.
