{"title":"The Woods","description":"I was about 18 or 19 and I was still living at home with my mom and step dad. We lived out in the country. Lived out in the country all my life. One night my friend and I had discussed getting together at his house to hang out. He lived down the road from us down in a holler next to the river. We were planning on drinking and having a few other friends over. My mom wasn't too hot about us drinking but she told me that we were to stay at his house and not go into town.\n\nWith that permission I began to walk down the road and down the hill to his house. When you get down the hill you had woods to the left of you and a massive cornfield to the right. A little further down the road curved to the left and you were then surrounded by woods. after a bit the road would curve back off to the right and the houses began to come into view and the woods were still on the right.\n\nAs I was making my way around this little curve I heard a sound. A sound I have never heard any animals make my entire life living in the country. The sound was like a mix between a scream and a roar. Two sounds coming from the same source. It made my chest vibrate and filled me with an instant feeling of immense dread and fear. I mean this sounded like whatever made the noise had to be big and the lung capacity it took to make that sound must have been massive. \n\nI took off like a shot and ran the entire way to my friend's house. I ended up staying the night because I was not going to walk back up that road to get to my house that night. I never saw anything but there have been reported sightings in my area of Sasquatch and all throughout my state really. I live in the Midwest in the USA. I found out about these sightings after the fact as I was curious and wanted to try to find out what it was.\n\nThat's my story","latitude":39.8079,"longitude":-86.0949,"timestamp":1762366458,"user_pubkey":"0155373ac79b7ffb0f586c3e68396f9e82d46f7afe7016d46ed9ca46ba3e1bed"}
