In this episode, Jay recounts a chilling childhood encounter in rural Virginia, where a massive, dog-like creature emerged from the woods, rose onto two legs, and vanished into his family’s property. What followed was a terrifying night of unnatural growls and screams that left his family scrambling for safety and questioning reality. Now, decades later, Jay revisits the memory he once buried, tying it to other strange phenomena and the charged history of the land, convinced that what he saw was no ordinary animal. His story blurs the line between trauma, folklore, and the possibility of something far older stalking the woods.
