So I install radiation therapy equipment “cancer treatment equipment”. We were setting a base frame in Opelika Alabama at 5pm and finish around 10pm. The frames only take around 4-5 hours. Anyways I got I emergency call from the owner of the company explaining how I had to drive through the night so I could bail out a few of our GE installers who’d hit a snag and needed a lead rigger . They were in a town called picayune Mississippi! Never heard of it, and I’ve driven everywhere. Picayune is on the border with Louisiana in the little south west corner where Louisiana kinda goes under the corner of Mississippi, so Louisiana is west and south of them. Either way I drove down to mobile Alabama, got on hwy 10 and drove west until I got to diamondback or something something I get off the hwy and then start running parallel with hwy 10 in the pascagoula national Forest! So we’re in the f’in swamp! AND it is 3AM!! The Rd name was Texas flat Rd im pretty sure without rechecking for the 500th time. As soon as I turn onto this Rd I have a really bad feeling. I didn’t know until a time later after looking at GPS maps, but there is a river that runs one the Northside “right side” of Texas flat Rd. And it was so foggy you could barely see! So idk why but I kept just stopping in the middle of the Rd to stare down little dirt roads that would lead into the swamp on either side of the Rd we were on. I kept waking my partner up and asking him to look down here, look over there, do you have a weird feeling, just everything I was feeling and thinking, I was trying to communicate to him. He continues to let me know he’s really afraid and freaked out and angrily tells me each and every time, to drive! Get us out of here! Then he’d close his eyes and pretend to sleep! At some point while during I find myself only driving 25 mph, looking to my right, we come up on a dry pasture! Until this point it has been water and swampy woods on either side of the Rd with little trails here and there heading into a nightmare. Eventually we come up on a field. Well this pasture has a cove like area and in the center on this cove hovering directly at the top of the treeline, is a f’in shadow that’s larger than the 3500 Duramax we were driving!! And it was making a humming or buzzing. Like electricity! Almost like an electrical box! Or power lines. And I wake the guy I work along side and before I point I tell him, ” ok I need you to describe what you’re looking at!” And he’s just staring and I repeat the question a few times until he tells me, Blake they are looking right at us you gotta drive before they come over here! Im confused because I haven’t seen anyone! Then he turns to look at me and tell me to drive but was already telling me to drive angrily before turning his head to make eye contact! And as he does this he stops speaking and never ends up making eye contact. He’s Just staring out of my driver side window! So im frozen but we’re already in drive. I’d never put it in park or anything, just sat there foot on the break. And im completely turned with my back to my driver door because id been staring hard at whatever this thing was, that was hovering to our right, so I was going to have to adjust myself. To explain better, and idk why but sometimes I would use my left foot on the brake. And in this moment I am holding the brakes with my left foot. It felt like awhile but I’m positive as soon as he stopped saying the word drive mid word, and send up staring out my driver side window instead of looking at me, I turned and hit the gas . All I was able to see was the foggy glass at the top back corner of my window and im assuming what was it’s arm.im guessing that’s what I saw because it was leaning on the truck with its face again the corner of my window. With us arm on the truck .The Rd was very flat but made a jog to the right about a quarter mile past where this happened. When we got to that jog to the right, we’d say in silence, allowing ourselves to process in quite for a whole 5 seconds😂. I finally asked him who they were he said would start coming from within the field , and did he see what I was looking at. I never got any speed when driving away from whatever we’d just went through but idk why I was slowing back to a stop , and not really that far from where we just were😂 but that’s when David had taken his seatbelt off and was turned around in the passenger seat half on the center console looking out the back glass. And he told me to look! So I look in my driver’s side mirror and can make out 3 bears just hanging out in the Rd!!! They were on all 4s . So I turned around as well to get a better look and make the objects not look as small as they were in my mirror 😬😂 these freaky things looked sick! They were really skinny! Think like a starving dog but as big as a bear in bone structure. David says oh shit! And is turning around in his seat. when he shouted and started moving, the sudden jolt scared me to death. but looking at him I saw why he was yelling. Dude this thing was weird! It looked like it had scoliosis!! It’s back was all hunched ! it’s neck was lower than it’s back, if that makes sense! It was deathly skinny though and standing on two legs that I could not describe other than being blacker than any animal I’ve ever seen! Like unnaturally black! It’s eyes werent glowing because there was no light shining on it but I was able to see it move it’s eyes and before stepping forward to come out of the ditch and onto the road, it went to all 4s to walk. so it didn’t walk on 2 legs but was standing like the goofiest skinniest sickly bear id ever seen . Lastly on its appearance because I’ll never forget. Imagine a wolf bear mixmash! Like and bear body but a skinny muzzle and the ears werent very tall nor extremely sharp pointy. But then again I don’t remember much about it’s ears so I think I just assumed what I thought I noticed, idk . t’s eyes and the way it’s neck and weird stance looked. Those were what stuck out to me the most !This time we were yelling while driving and talking about what just happened and he told me he saw the craft and was the one that described the sound like an electrical box I said it was like humming power lines 😂 but I didn’t think craft when first noticing. It was a freaking shadow! Dude idk what we drove up into but I’ll never forget it. Neither does he. And what’s funny is I’m a talker so he already knew I wasn’t the one to be like, we can never tell anyone this😂😂 or so he thought! I’ve spoken about it way less than people who know me would assume once knowing I’d gone through that! It was just really bizarre and so many things were things we’d never seen and had such a hard time figuring out how to describe them because there was no way in our vocabulary to match it so someone could picture what we saw . I’m not giving all the experiences details because this is already long, but example being the only light/color coming from the shadow that was hovering lol was this foggy green smoke that lingered directly underneath it and when I tell you it was color I had never seen nor have I ever been able to describe it any better than green being the closest color and foggy smoke or something idk it was thick but obviously it wasnt smoke fog nor heat coming off this thing. I hurried through this sorry for the autocorrect mistakes I’ll try and go back and edit after posting.
