My spooky story...
Four years ago, when Rocky was still alive, we routinely hunted a place called Brushy Creek. Brushy is one of my most favorite places to hunt, because it is easy walking, and there are logging roads that you can get just about anywhere on.
Brushy Creek is about 6 miles of dirt road that runs along the Little Tennessee River, and that leads to forest service and various other tracks of land. When you hunt it, your truck is DUSTY from one end to the other.
Well, when we hunt brushy creek, we always back the truck up to the gate, and park like that. The creek is to the left of the truck, and then we walk out an old logging road that has a creek to the right of it, and it leads to several white oak patches and a huge corn field.
Well, I just wasnt feeling to well that night, and I told Quincy and Justin that I was going to stay at the truck. Quincy had his dog Bull, my dog Rocky, and Justin had Pepper.
Well, about 30 minutes after they left, I could hear something walking in the leaves just to the left of the truck. Then I heard something lapping water.
Must have been one of the dogs, I thought at the time. Well, I was sitting there, and it was in the middle of the summer, hot as heck, and I had every window that could be opened in that truck open.
I got this eeeeeeerrrrrrryyyyy feeling, and the hair stood up on the back of my neck. I thought for a moment about what was making me feel like that, and I just has this uncanny urge to shut and roll up the windows.
Well, I did, and a few minutes later, I heard something bump the back of the truck. It sounded almost like when a puppy or a short dog tries to put its paws up on the tailgate.
I shined my light but couldnt see anything. I pushed the break light, and saw a glimpse of something's tail and then it was gone.
Well, I thought "you're losing your mind." So I lit a cigarette, and cracked my window just enough to let the smoke out. I sat there for a good while, and then something caught my eye. It was something flashing in my mirror on the left side of the truck. I focus in and get a better look, and it's a light bouncing down the road.
I look again, and it looks like it's running fast. Well, Justin and Quincy both left, and this worried me as Quincy has had surgery on his left knee several times. I just knew he'd fell and was hurt. I get out of the truck, and it's Justin by himself. I holler at him, and he cant hear me. He makes it to the truck, his face looks all worried and scared, and he runs up to me, and looks me all over. "ARE YOU OK??!!"
"Yeah, I'm fine. Why?"
"Because, me and Quincy were on our way up to the cornfield, and Rocky started growling, and wouldnt let us go any farther up the road. He kept getting right under our feet and would not let us go on. Then all of a sudden, we heard screaming and it sounded like you. It scared us to death, Quincy is coming, he told me to come and see if you were ok. He's bringing the dogs, they're acting plumb weird. Rocky wouldnt let us go hunting, he kept running us back towards the truck, and then we heard screaming and thought it was you."
"No. I'm fine." Then I see Quincy's light coming at a good pace down the road, then all of a sudden he starts cussing. He's pretty close now, and he's dragging all 3 dogs down the trail, they've got thier feet planted and he's dragging them, cussing every breath.
He hollers at Justin to help him and asking if I'm OK at the same time.
When he gets back to the truck with the dogs, I go to put the tailgate down, and there in the dust on the bumper, is a perfect paw print. I asked Quincy was was it, and he said it looked like a bobcat, but was to big to be a bobcat. Oh well, They get the dogs loaded up and Rocky just wont quit growling, this really low growl too.
Quincy was telling me the details of what happened, then it screamed. It was RIGHT above us, maybe 20 yards in the woods. We shined our lights and saw 2 big shining green eyes jump and take off running. It was solid, jet black and I swear it was a panther.
That is nearly the most scared that I've ever been!
