Family HAUNTED by something in the woods The Diane & Keith Williams story · Crime and Horror

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Last year, I stayed for about two weeks in a
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: cabin in a very rural part of Pennsylvania. We were
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: up in the mountains, We were very isolated from everybody else.
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: There were these huge windows on the back side of
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: the house that just looked directly into a forest. At night,
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: when you're looking out that window and it's just totally dark,
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: you feel so uneasy that something could be looking in
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: and you can't see it. And so it's just this
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: awful sense of being watched if I was even near
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: that back room at night. And I think that that
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: all comes from this deep seated fear I have of
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: being isolated in the woods somewhere, being stocked, or being
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: watched by something that you can't see. And so anytime
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: I see a story about some cabin in the woods
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: where some potentially paranormal thing has happened around them, it
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: really piques my interest because I can relate to that
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: fear on a primal level. And so today we have
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: you guessed it, a cabin in the woods stocking story.
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: It was featured on Paranormal Witness, which is a show
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: on Sci Fi Network. It's one of the more popular
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: episodes called the Cabin and it's one of my all
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: time favorites, and I hope I do a justice in
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: today's story. But before we get into today's story, if
• 1:12

• 1:37
  Speaker 1: let's get into today's story. Keith and Diane grew up
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: in the same town, London, Ohio, which was a very
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: rural small town in the middle of Ohio. They were
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: high school sweethearts and after high school they would end
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: up getting married. Fast forward six years and Keith and
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: Diane have been married for six years. They have a
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: daughter named Raven who's four years old, and Diane has
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: just found this beautiful new home in London, Ohio. So
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: the same place they grew up that was a little
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: more isolated than any other properties they were looking at.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: It was still within London, Ohio, but it was in
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: the forest. It was way off the beaten path, so
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: to speak. But you know, Keith was a hunter and
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: he loved the forest, and you know, Diane loved the
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: forest too, So they liked the idea of having that
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: privacy and kind of living away from other people. So
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: very quickly they decide to buy the house, and they
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: move in and they kind of settle into their new routine.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: At this time, Keith was not only working full time
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: during the day as a welder, but at night he
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: was taking night classes to prepare for this apprenticeship program
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: he was trying to get into. Keith is gone five
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: days a week for twelve hours at a stretch, leaving
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: Diane home alone with Raven when she wasn't at school.
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: And Diane Anne was a stay at home mom, so
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: she was she was at this house a lot. So
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: in those first couple of weeks that they had moved
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: into this house and Diane's getting used to being alone
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: quite a bit, Diane at night would hear what sounded
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: like something she described as scampering. Some animal is moving
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: around outside of the house, and from time to time,
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: she'd poke her head out. You know, she had this
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: big window that sat over her the kitchen sink, so
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: whenever she was doing dishes, she'd be looking directly into
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: their forest in their backyard, and she'd poke her head
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: out and she'd tried to get a glimpse of whatever
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: it was. She just assumed it was, you know, a
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: deer or a dog or something like that. It wasn't
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: a cause for concern, it was just something she noticed
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: within those first couple of weeks. One night, after she
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: had put Raven to bed and Keith was still out
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: at night school, Diane was cleaning up the downstairs and
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: she was doing the dishes and she was looking out
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: the window and she starts hearing that scampering sound. And
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: as she's looking, you know, she's she's got light behind
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: her from inside the house, causing kind of a glare
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: on the glass. So she's up close to the painted
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: glass kind of peering out to try to catch a
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: glimpse of the steer or dog or whatever it was.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: And as she's looking out into the tree line, which
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: is very close to her house, there's only a separation
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: of maybe twenty or twenty five feet from the edge
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: of her house to the edge of the forest, and
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: then she's looking. She swears she sees a set of
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: eyes looking back at her, and to her it immediately
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: confirms that that's a dog. There's a dog that's gotten loose,
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: and that's what's been roaming around my property. She's not frightened.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: She's used to being out near the woods, so she's
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: just like, okay, cool, it's a dog. And so she
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: finishes the dishes, and she goes into the living room,
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: which is on the other side of the house, and
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: as she's picking up toys and moving things around, she
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: happens to look up towards the window in their living
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: room that's looking basically in the other direction as that
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: window above her sink. She's looking in the opposite direction,
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: and to her horror, there is a set of eyes
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: that are at human level, that are right up against
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: the glass. She only sees it for a second, she
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: sees the reflection of the eyes before she backs away, startled.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: But there's light on in the room she's in, so
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: she doesn't have a great view of what's outside, and
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: she's not even sure if she actually saw those eyes.
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: She's not sure if she's scaring herself. So she goes
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: back into the kitchen to look out that window and
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: see if she can see those eyes that she had
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: seen before that she believed belonged to a dog. She
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: was hoping that they would be gone and that that
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: would kind of account for the eyes she just saw
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: at the living room window, even though it would have
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: been a very tall dog. She goes into the kitchen,
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: she starts leaning towards the window, and then right as
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: she's about of her head almost against the glass, a
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: head comes right in front of her on the opposite
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: side of the glass, with these glowing gold eyes looking
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: right at her. She's horrified. She practically falls over, and
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: she's looking up from the ground and there's this face
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: looking in the window directly at her. And she's scampering
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: back like on the ground, getting out of the kitchen,
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: and right at that moment, she hears car tires out
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: on the driveway and it's Keith. Oh my god, Keith's
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: gonna run into somebody that's outside. She hears the door
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: open and she's just praying it's Keith, and sure enough,
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: he calls out and he sees her on the ground
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: in the living room, and he's like, what's going on,
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: and so she immediately tells him she definitely saw somebody outside.
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: She thought it was a dog. Maybe it wasn't. And Keith,
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: he's a hunter, you know, he knows her out in
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: the woods. They've just moved into this house. He's thinking,
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: maybe maybe my wife is actually a little bit scared
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: to be so isolated out here. Keith goes outside with
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: a flashlight. He's looking all around, he's walking the property.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: He can't find tracks, he can't see anything, and so
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: he comes back inside. And he never really believed that
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: it was anything other than maybe her imagination or just
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: some random animal outside. And so he's just telling her like, hey,
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: I know we just moved in. I'm sure you're stressed.
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: You're here alone all the time. You know you got
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: this huge woods right next to our house. You're gonna
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: hear animals. I just wouldn't sweat It's it's probably nothing
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: to worry about. She was not cool with being told
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: don't worry about it because she knows what she saw.
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: So a month goes by and Keith and Diane have
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: stopped talking about whatever Diane saw. You know, there wasn't
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: anything else happening at the house. She wasn't seeing eyes
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: or animals, hearing any scampering sounds. It was just kind
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: of back to normal. Keith is gone, he's going to
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: night school, and Diane's home by herself, and she's in
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: the kitchen. She's looking out that window. She doesn't hear
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: any scampering or anything, and without any warning, she sees
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: a set of eyes suddenly appear on the edge of
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: the window, just outside of the woods. She sees the
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: eyes dead on and she backs up from the window.
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: She's thinking to herself, I have to protect Raven, and
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: her first thought is turned off all the lights in
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: the house. That way it can't see me, And so
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: she runs around the house terrified but knew she had
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: to do it, turning off every light. The last light
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: she turns off is the living room light, and she's
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: up against the wall and as she hits the light
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: in the living room, making everything dark, she suddenly gets
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: a clear picture out that living room window where she
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: had seen the eyes as well the month earlier, and
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: standing pressed against the glass is an absolute human figure
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: with eyes at human level, these orange glowing eyes at
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: eye level, standing right against her window, looking in the
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: window directly at her. Horrified, she starts making her way
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: into the kitchen by sliding up against the wall. They
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: have a landline phone that was hung in the kitchen,
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: and so she gets to the phone, trying to keep
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: an eye on that back window. She can see the
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: side of this thing silhouette. She calls down on one
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: and says, there's someone outside my house that won't go away.
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: As soon as she hangs up. From her perspective, she
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: can only see his shoulder. She watched the shoulder disappear
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: out of her view. She poked her head back in
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: the living room and sure enough it's gone. And as
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: she's sitting there, it's silent. There's no sound in the house.
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: She can hear clear scampering sounds like running sounds outside
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: of her house as this thing is running all the
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: way around her house. And she's sitting there wondering if
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: this thing's going to break a window to come inside,
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: what would she even do? And so finally she sees
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: the flashing lights of a cop car pulling into the
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: driveway and she hears the police knock at the door.
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: She runs the door, opens it up, and she's hysterical
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: and the police are trying to calm her down to
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: just get the story of what's going on, and she's
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: pointing out, you know, saying there's something out there, and
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: the police start looking around the property. Keith comes home
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: and he knows instinctively what's probably happened, because the police
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: are scanning the property for something, and he's thinking, she
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: saw this thing again, you know, whatever it is probably
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: was just a reflection of herself in the glass, and
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: now she's called the police. You know, this is a
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: small town. Keith is worried that people are gonna think
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: he's crazy, and so he comes in and he regretted this,
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: but he immediately got mad at his wife, like what
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: are you doing? You know, like you're calling the cops,
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: Like there's nothing here. I looked last time. They're looking now,
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: and they were even saying like we haven't seen anything.
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: We're to look for a little bit longer, but there's
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: no sign of anybody being here. And at some point
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: the police are like, yep, we didn't find anything. And
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: the police are like, you know, let us know if
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: anything else happens, and they leave. Keith and Diane are
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: left just fighting. So four months go by without incident.
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: There's no scampering outside, there's no eyes in the windows,
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: and Keith and Diane have kind of moved past that
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: whole ordeal and they're, you know, back to normal. They're
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: really not even thinking about it. And even Diane would say,
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: like I did begin to believe that it was just
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: in my imagination and that I was just stressed and
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: maybe overwhelmed that how often I was alone in that house,
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: and it was just getting to me. And you know,
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: four months go by. It's it's it's early December of
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: nineteen eighty one, and it was the first big snowfall
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: of the winter. And Keith wakes up one morning after
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: the snowfall, a few inches on the ground, and he decides,
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: because his family's still sleep and that he's gonna go
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: out and he's gonna get donuts and bring them back
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: for the family, donuts and coffee. So it's still dark outside.
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: He goes outside, starts up his car. You know, he's
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: rubbing his eyes, he's still tired, and he's adjusting his
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: rear view mirror and when he stops it for a
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: second and he's looking up there, he thinks he sees
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: somebody standing behind his car. What and he like readjusts
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: it and he looks and it's gone, and so he
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: throws the car in park, grabs his flashlight and he
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: starts looking around because he knows he just saw someone
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: standing behind his car. And so he's walking around shining
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: his light and he's realizing the irony of this situation.
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: This is the same situation that his wife was in,
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: believing she saw somebody outside their house looking for it
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: at snowhere to be found. He just saw someone standing,
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: saw the eyes of a person, you know, standing behind
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: his vehicle. Can't find this person, and he's thinking, was
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: there any truth in what she saw? Was I wrong?
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: And so he's looking everywhere, and all of a sudden,
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: he sees tracks. He can't tell what kind of tracks
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: they are, but there's clear prints in the snow. It's
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: fresh snow. He knows where he had been walking, and
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: he starts following them, thinking he's going to get to
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: either a person or he doesn't know what, and he
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: sees they stop right next to his house, and he's
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: looking like, where could they have gone? And then he
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: looks up to the There was a first floor section
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: of the house that was a little bit extended, so
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: there was a roof that was at the first floor level,
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: and then there was the rest of the house that
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: was at the second floor level. And he sees that
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: the footsteps go from the ground the first floor roof
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: and then they go up to the second floor roof
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: and they go over to the other side of the house.
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: Who's doing this? What's doing this? And so he starts
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: going to the other side of the house and he
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: can't see any more Prince and he's looking up at
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: the top of his house and he's thinking, am I
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: going crazy? Something's on my house? Like what's going on?
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: And so he goes inside and he calls his hunting
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: buddy Dennis, who's the only person that lives relatively close
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: to them, and he's like, you got to come over
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: here right now. I got something weird going on. I
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: think someone's stocking in my house. I can't be sure.
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: You've got to come over here. Dennis is like, I'll
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: be there in a minute. When Dennis gets there, Keith's
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: outside with his rifle and Dennis is like, what are
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: you doing? And he's like somebody and he shows in
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: the Prince jumped on my roof. Someone's on my roof.
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: I don't know what's going on, but someone, I think
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: is on my roof. And as they're talking about it,
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: they hear what sounds like thump. Something just landed really
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: hard from a pretty high distance, and it was on
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: the other side of the house. They kind of run around,
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: you know, rifle and Dennis had his rifle too. They
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: go to the either side and they see like two
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: clear footprints, but twenty feet away from the edge of
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: the house, meaning this thing on the roof, if it
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: jumped off, it jumped not only two stories to the ground,
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: but it jumped twenty feet out away from the house
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: as well, because there's no other footprints, and they just
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: heard it land and it ran off into the forest.
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: And so Dennis and Keith look at each other and
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: Dennis is like, what do you want to do, And
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: he's like, let's go after it now. Dennis and Keith
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: they hunt in these woods all the time, and they
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: see right away that the footprints, the tracks of this
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: person or creature or whatever it is, they're about fourteen
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: inches long, and it appears to be a bipedal creature.
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: It does not appear to be on four legs. Something's
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: moving on two legs, and they're thinking about just how
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: would this person be able to get on the roof?
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: What animal runs around that has a fourteen inch track
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: that runs on two legs, Like, they're not really sure
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: what to make of it. Is it a person, is
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: it a creature? We don't know? And so they follow
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: the tracks into the woods, and the whole time they
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: had this awful sensation that something's watching and from time
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: to time they would hear something ways away from them.
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: It sounded like a big animal moving in the forest,
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: but they could never quite get to it in time.
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: And at some point they started hearing noises behind them,
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: and they're thinking, like, is it possible that this thing
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: is has run ahead of us and then looped back
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: around that is now tracking us. Like they were feeling
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: really uncomfortable, and as they're about to just kind of
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: abandon this search because they've been looking for this thing
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: for hours, they keep following its tracks. They get to
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: a clearing and they find this tiny cabin that neither
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: of them had seen before, right in the middle of
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: the clearing, and they see that these tracks lead right
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: up to it, and they follow the tracks up to
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: the cabin and the tracks stop right outside the door.
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: There's one door leading into this cabin and the door
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: is shut, and they're thinking, like what animal can open
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: and shut doors, And so Dennis starts immediately hitting on
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: the door, trying to get this person to come outside
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: and show themselves. We know you were over at Keith's property.
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: Get out here. We followed you here, we know it's you.
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: There's no sound inside, there's no movement inside. They're looking
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: into the windows, there's nothing. He realizes, like, it's a
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: bad look for us to have tracked this person to
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: their house. We have guns, Like, this is a bad
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: look for us. We can't be here. We need to
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: leave and just let this go. They have a couple
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: more choice words and then they leave and they decide
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: instead of going back through the woods, they go to
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: the nearest road that they could hear nearby. They go
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: to the road and they go to a pay phone.
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: They call Keith's father, who comes to pick them up,
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: and when they hop in the car, Keith's dad is like,
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: why do you have guns? And Keith and Dennis explained
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: what happened, and they described this cabin in the woods
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: that they were just at, and Keith's Dad is like, Oh,
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: I know who lives in that cabin. It's this guy
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: who works at the tire shop. He's a loaner type guy,
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: older guy. No one really knows much about him. So
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: Dennis is like, we got to go to that tire shop.
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: I want to get a look at this guy. Keith's
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: a little bit unsure, like he doesn't want to blow
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: this out of proportion, but they ultimately decide that they're
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: going to bring a beat up tire to this tire
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: shop and ask to get it repaired, to try to
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: get a look at this person who apparently owns the cabin.
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: So they go to this tire shop. They know that
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: the front desk attendant is not the guy who owns
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: the cabin. It's the actual mechanic who's in back. And
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: so they give the tire over and the front desk
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: guy yells back to George. So say, hey, George, come
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: out here, you got a tire. And so Keith would
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: describe George coming out of the shadows to get the
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: tire and he's like the six foot five older guy
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: who looks up at Keith and Dennis and he's got
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: these orange eyes. Keith would say it was the most
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: distinctive set of eyes he'd ever seen, and he looks
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: up at them, and George has a moment of recognition
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: that he's looking at the two men that just tracked
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: him to his house, and Dennis and Keith are looking
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: at him, thinking, we know it was you, and they
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: both recognize it. George looks down, walks away with the tire,
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: and then when he finishes whatever he's doing with the tire,
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: he rolls it out to the middle of the floor
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: to stay in the shadows. Keith and Dennis are like,
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: he didn't want to show himself again. He knows that
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: we know he's the guy. Dennis and Keith leave and think, man, like,
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: that's so weird, old guy. I mean, he kind of
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: fits the description. I guess. You know, he's a big guy,
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: fourteen inch tracks that could be him, but none of
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: it really really added up. I mean, he's an older guy.
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: How's he getting on the roof? Keith is like, I
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: can't tell police what happened because I would have to
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: admit that I stalked him to his house with a gun.
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: That's how I know he's there, and he didn't commit
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: a crime at least I can't pin him to a crime,
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: and so he can't tell the police. He doesn't want
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: to tell his wife because his wife not only would
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: have a big told you so moment, he knew that
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: she would immediately want to leave, like move, and he
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: did not have the financial resources to move, and so
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: he decides to just kind of keep to himself and
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: hope that he does not run into George again. So
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: for a few months, there's no sightings off, anything's strange
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: happening at their house, at Keith in Diane's house. But
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: in March of nineteen eighty two, three months after their
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: encounter with George at the tire shop, Dennis shows up
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: at Keith's house and he says, hey, get in, I
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: want I want to show you something. So Keith gets
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: in Dennis's car and they start driving, and Keith can
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: tell that Dennis is taking him towards this cabin in
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: the woods where George lives, and Keith says to Dennis,
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: we can't do this. We cannot go to this guy's house.
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: We know he did it, but what are we gonna do?
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: And Dennis goes, no, I just found out that George died.
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: He's dead, So we can just go check it out
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: right now, he can check out his residence. And Keith
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: is like, I feel bad about it, but okay, let's
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: go check it out. And so they start driving down
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: this one access road that would lead to George's cabin
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: and they find a cop car is sitting in the
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: middle of the road. It would turn out that Dennis
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: knew the cop and he explained the old strangeness behind
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: this cabin and how it related to them, and the
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: cop at first was very reluctant to give any information
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: about why he was there or what was going on
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: at the cabin, but ultimately he relented and said, actually,
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: you know, I'm here because there's some strangeness with the cabin.
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: We don't really know what to make of it. And
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: you know, if you want to, I can give you
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: a quick peek of what the cabin looks like. Keith
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: and Dennis are like super intrigued and they're like okay,
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: And so they go into this cabin and there's nothing
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: in it. There's basically a chair and a table, but
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: that said, there's no personal effects, there's no food, there's
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: there's nothing. It's just this empty, tiny space and Keith
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: and Dennis, are, you know, shocked. They're like, wow, this
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: guy was living like a hermit basically, and they thought
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: that that was what the cop was referring to when
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: he said there's some weirdness with this cabin. They're like, man,
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: that's crazy, you know, George, how did he live like
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: this for forty years? Crazy? And the CoP's like, no,
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: that's not the weird part. He goes, that's the weird part,
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: and he points out a sheet that's hanging down inside
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: of the cabin. The cop goes over and pulls the
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: sheet aside, and it revealed a metal door sliding door,
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: and they slid it open and immediately they're hit with
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: this wet dog smell, like kind of a gross sweat
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: dog smell. And they go into this cell that had
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: plates steel lining the walls with metal strips and rivets
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: holding everything in place. It was like this metal encased
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: tomb that they were in, and in the middle of
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: the floor was a ten foot chain link and at
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: the end there were shackles for wrists and for feet,
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: and on the wall were all these scratch marks, old
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: and new, all over the walls. And so the police
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: officers like, yeah, we're trying to figure out what old
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: George was doing with this cell in his cabin in
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: the middle of the woods. Keith and Dennis they leave
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: and they go back into their car and they're driving away,
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: and neither of them are even talking about what they saw,
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: but they know that something that was being held in
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: that cage in the cabin had been the thing they
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: had stalked. It had been the thing that had been
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: stalking their property, Keith's property. It was the thing that
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: was staring in the windows. It's all very unsettling, but
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: Keith Diane never found out what it was. Keith would
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: say though, that there was no more stalking at his
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: property once George had died. They never saw the eyes again. So,
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: no matter what this was, something was showing up at
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: Keith and Diane's house and looking in the windows and
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: you know, stalking them. And something made tracks, got on
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: the roof of Keith and Diane's house, ran into the woods,
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: and made its way back to George's cabin. Now we
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: don't know if that something was just George, or if
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: it was some creature, some animal that was in that cage,
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: or if it was something else. So let me know.
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: In the comments, what you think it was and what happened,
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: and I'll do my best to get back to as
• 21:42
