AI Summary

5 min read

A woman in Louisiana was driving home through a bayou village around 10 p.m. in 2004 when she noticed what looked like a man peering into a house window. She slowed down to see what was happening. When the figure turned to look at her, she realized it was not a person at all.

What Cheryl Saw at the Window

Cheryl was visiting her mother in a small Louisiana village with her college roommate. As she drove slowly along a winding road lined with live oaks, she spotted a figure at a house window. The creature had its hands placed on either side of the window frame, and its head was positioned at the top of the window — roughly eight feet off the ground. When it turned toward the car, Cheryl could see it clearly: a protruding canine snout, large pointed ears on top of the head, fur covering the body, and long arms. It stood slightly hunched with a slim but muscular build — she compared it to a "more robust basketball player" like LeBron James rather than a bulky bodybuilder.

Show Notes

Cheryl writes "Hi Wes, My husband is a fan and came to me one day saying "Babe, listen to this. It sounds just like what you saw." I've found myself telling this story more often in recent years. Our anniversary is coming up so I figured why not share the story with you as a gift to him.

Around 2004-2005 I went to visit my mom. She lives in a village surrounded by bayou and farmland. Though its not far from I-10 its the kind of place you only know about because of a detour from the interstate, fishing, or family is there. I was with my college roommate and we were going back to campus before it got too late but it was already dark. I took the side of the bayou I never take. Its too curvy and there have been a lot of deaths from people running into live oaks.

I looked to the side and noticed what looked like someone peeping through the window of one of the houses. Small town nosiness kicks in so I slow down to a crawl. I ask my roommate to take a look. We quickly realize this was no man. It was tall, almost as tall as the window. The build was lean but by no means skinny. More like Lebron type body with broad shoulders, muscular, long arms. It had fur and ears atop its head. It turned to look at us and I hit the gas.

I was driving a 1996 Ford Contour so I got nowhere fast. I could see large eyes and a snout protruding. Not flat like a cat's face. Definitely K-9. It started running toward us, at first on two legs, then down to 4. We're in the car screaming as you might picture two college girls doing and my roommate yells, "what the hell is that"? We got to I-10 and never looked back.

I'm happy to share a few details about myself and something you might find interesting about the environment if you'd like to talk more or choose to have me on the show."

Tanner writes "I've had several unusual experiences along the same stretch of road in southern Wisconsin, including encounters with what I believe were Bigfoot-type creatures and a strange white orb. I'm from the Beloit/Janesville area in south-central Wisconsin, along the Rock River.

The first experience happened on my very first night driving by myself. I was heading home from Janesville on Afton Road, just before entering the small town before the final 55 mph stretch into Beloit. It was nighttime, and I noticed what looked like a motorcycle headlight in the distance. I didn't think much of it.

As I entered the town, I saw a sheriff's deputy parked near the bar at the bottom of the hill. I had been speeding, so I hit the brakes hard and managed to slow down in time. As I continued driving, the light I'd noticed earlier came flying up behind me. At first, I thought it was the deputy pulling me over.

I went over the hill where the road opens into farmland and returns to 55 mph. After driving a short distance, the light appeared behind me again, closing the gap incredibly fast until it was right on my bumper. Then, without warning, it shot in
