Summary

In episode 745: Dogman, Crawlers, and the Not-Deer; Chris from West Virginia shares a series of chilling encounters that began with a timber-colored creature walking on two legs outside his home—and escalated into a five-hour standoff of growls, scraping claws, and paralyzing fear. After that night, the activity didn’t stop. While camping in the woods, Chris witnessed a massive, shadowy figure crawling like a spider toward his tent and heard unplaceable howls and gunshots echo through the forest. Then came something worse: a deer that wasn’t a deer, its gaze too knowing, its movements too wrong—and when it turned to walk away, it simply vanished.

As the months wore on, the line between physical and supernatural blurred. There were orbs outside his window, rocks thrown from nowhere, a crab-walking thing glimpsed on a distant ridge, and a hellhound-like face caught in a photo. Some creatures moved like animals. Others seemed to watch him. But all of it felt targeted. Whether it was Bigfoot, Dogman, something demonic, or something else entirely, Chris was sure of one thing, they weren’t supposed to exist—but they do.
