Summary

Bigfoot Called Out His Name
A newly trained deputy begins his first solo patrol on New Year’s Day in 1980. What starts as a quiet shift turns tragic when he responds to a call about two missing children near Morgan Creek. He follows their footprints to a hole in the ice, where a rescue team later recovers their bodies—siblings, ages 11 and 9, who drowned. Twenty years later, on another snowy New Year’s night, the now-veteran deputy hears a dispatch report about two wet children walking near the same bridge. Another officer searches but finds no children—only footprints that mysteriously end near an old, abandoned farmhouse that once belonged to the drowned children’s family. Believing the sighting to be supernatural, the deputy concludes the caller likely encountered the ghosts of the long-lost siblings. The farmhouse has since been torn down, and the bridge rebuilt, but the area remains beautiful—and haunted by its past.

0:00.0	When I was six years old, I was lying in bed and I was unable to go to sleep.
0:16.2	I lay there for probably an hour, though it felt like forever.
0:20.4	My window was at the foot of my bed,
0:22.3	and it was close enough for me to crawl to and look out, which I often did. That night,
0:28.3	when I looked out, I saw something that scared the living crud out of me. At first, everything
0:34.6	was fine until something stepped in the way and bent down and looked at me.
0:39.8	The window was six feet off the ground, yet here was this creature, so big that it had to crouch over to look at me.
0:48.4	Well, I crawled as fast as my little legs would go.
0:51.5	I threw the pillow over my face and I hid under my blanket. Then when I was
0:57.1	14, I was in the woods playing around like I'd done a thousand times before. I knew that place
1:03.7	better than the back of my hand. I was down on a sandbar playing Tarzan when up on the bank,
1:10.7	I heard a branch snap.
1:13.0	My head whipped in the direction of the sound but I didn't see anything and I decided to
1:18.5	climb up and get a better look at it. When I got to the top of the bank, I heard a crash like a
1:24.3	locomotive plowing through the brush. I still didn't see anything, but a knot in the pit of my stomach told me it was another
1:33.0	one of those things that was looking through my window, and it was time for me to get out of
1:37.6	there.
1:38.7	I'm 19 years old now, and I still go through those woods looking for signs of them.
1:45.8	Every single time I go,
1:51.5	I hear something pacing me. I can't see them, but I know they're out there watching me.
2:04.7	Years ago, I used to be a milkman, and I work from 12 a.m. to 7 a.m. One night, while at the Deary Depot, two cops dropped by to buy some chocolate milk. We were chatting when a scream echoed through the air,
2:11.9	making my hair stand up on end, and making all the dogs nearby start barking and howling.
