it was July of 2016 around 2:00 a.m. I'm awoken by our trash cans being knocked
over I'm usually a light sleeper raccoon and coyote get in the garbage every once
in a while it's not uncommon our bedrooms on the first floor we have a
window facing out into the backyard faced in a line of trees I lay in bed
staring at the ceiling trying to go back to sleep
I hear the trash cans being moved again and it sounds as if it's being dragged
across the driveway I get up thinking it's a bear I go to the window and look
through the blind I don't see anything at first then I hear the trash cans
being moved again
and I could see a shadow
I'm thinking to myself this death Holmes affair on a pine lace but then I catch
the silhouette of the figure in our driveway
it wasn't the size of a bear it was around the same height but slimmer and
more lean and that's when I think that it's a person instead of a bear I get my
shotgun and plays it right next to the front door as I go outside to see what
all the noise was about I walk towards the trash cans something was going
through it my thoughts as a person goes away at this point why would a person
want to go through our trash I said the trash cans up again and just as I'm
leaving to go towards the house I hear something I can't tell if it's directly
behind me or to the left I hear something run behind me
I look back and can't say anything I turn around and I can see that something
just ran into the bushes I take a couple steps forward and that's
when I hear along
it wasn't a coyote I'm thinking at this point that it has to be a wall
slowly back up and go back inside the house
I go back to bed and I don't hear anything for the rest of the night
in the morning I go out there to see if I could find any evidence of what that
was the only thing I could find was the grass was parted on the ground as if a
bear was laying there later that night we hear large pack of coyotes howling
which is not too uncommon where we live there was a sound over all the Coyotes
the summer like an old I have been hunting all my life and I've never heard
anything like that before we don't see or hear anything the rest of the night
four nights after the first incident were in bed my wife's asleep and I'm
just about ready to doze off
a sound catches my attention it sounded as if there was a snorting sneeze
combined I then hear something walking on the deck patio just outside our door
I can't see anything the first for a second I thought it might be my 23 year
old son that thought quickly vanishes my son has more sense than to show up
this late at night I listen more as the steps go out into
the yard I get up and quickly get my shotgun and go to the window I look out
the backyard and I see this massive wolf on all fours Klein as this area where we
tried to grow strawberries I watch it for around 2 minutes I remain
still not even putting down my rifle its ears twitch as if it heard something in
the woods it then gets up on two legs and sniffs the air it walks to its right
going through my driveway it looked comfortable being on two legs
it walks past my truck and from that I can gauge its height being around seven
five seven seven it had dark black hair with a little bit of grey towards the
tips but that could have been the light from the lydon reflecting off the fur
this wasn't the last time I seen this thing I had four other encounters later
that year
