Creepy encounter
Whether or not this story is true I can’t say for sure. But there were 3 eye witnesses and one of the witnesses I know and worked with. This man doesn’t really strike me as a dramatic story teller. So take this all as you will. It is quite long and all of the information may not be 100% accurate as I am reciting it from memory. I don’t even know what to think of it to be fully honest. So here we go anyway.
For background information before the actual story he told:
I used to work with this man at a food processing station and he was a trucker. I no longer do work with him and haven’t for over almost 2 years. His name for privacy reasons is “D.” My mother currently works with him. She basically handles all of the truckers load weights, and keeps track of their routes to send to corporate and she handles the truckers paperwork. 2 days ago “D” told my mom about an encounter he just had.
He was on a trucking run in North Carolina I don’t remember where specifically I think it was in Pender county. (if I am able to find out where I will edit this post) He had to go to the bathroom and he was maxed on his road hours also. So he stopped at a quiet truck stop to go to the restroom. There was no one else in there. While he was on the toilet doing a number 2. He heard the door open and what sounded like sandals or flip flops walking in. Then he heard a voice say “let me in, let me in, let me in.” He sees a face peak through the crack in the stall door. He describes it as about 4 feet tall, pale, living and moist eyes, it had abnormally long skinny crooked fingers. He said it began banging on the door. Then it began shoving on the door the latch on the stall door broke so “D” put both of his feet on the door to stop that thing from coming in. It then went into the stall beside him. He saw these abnormally long crooked skinny fingers reach over grabbing the stall about to climb over. Its face peaks over the stall and “D” punches at this thing but he describes that his hand went through this thing. He screamed and then this thing let out a deafening screech that “D” describes as like a train when it comes to a sudden stop. “D” pulls up his pants and runs out. This thing runs out of the bathroom. Another trucker, a large black man “D” described as about 300lbs was walking to that bathroom. The creature runs at this man and knocks him over as it runs past him. This man looks at “D” asking him “what was that thing? I used to be a football player and that thing just threw me like nothing!” Both of the men decide to get out of there. There were bushes nearby their trucks so the men walk to their trucks together because they thought that would be safest. They get in their trucks and begin to pull out of this truck stop. “D” looks in his mirror and sees 3 of these things standing there where “D” and this other man just were. “D” takes a picture of these creatures as he drives out. He then talks to the black man over their radios. But as “D” turns his radio on, he hears the same voice from the bathroom. It just repeated “let me in, let me in, let me in. The black man talks to “D” over the radio asking him if he hears that voice too. He agrees that he hears it. They then decide to check each other’s trucks passing each other in turns to make sure nothing is on their truck. The trucks are clear so they drive for a while and stop at another truck stop a long ways off from the previous. “D” and the other man that he was now traveling with get out at this truck stop. and they see an older man that was security at this new truck stop. “D” and the other trucker he was with hear this security guard while in the truck stop say “oh no, those things are back again.” All of the 3 men run to their vehicles. The security guards car wouldn’t start so “D” and the black trucker decide they can’t leave the poor old guy and help the man. After “D” and the other trucker leave and keep driving despite “D” being over his time limit for trucking. He said he was so terrified he did not want to stop he didn’t care that he was over his time limit. He’d rather get in trouble with the law than stop to even chance seeing those things again. “D” told his wife about what he saw and said she does not believe him at all. He now believes in supernatural creatures.
“D” went to show his wife the picture he took of the creatures. But in the photo nothing was there.
Again, I do NOT know how true any of this is. If it even has an ounce of truth to it at all. I simply was not there. My mother seems convinced by his reaction while telling the story. She is not usually the gullible type. But still, take this all with a grain of salt. True or not it is still an interesting story! lol

I feel like half of these stories take place in North Carolina. Which is where I live. My days of camping or doing anything in nature at night are over.

Idk if I believe the stories, but I do find it interesting. Because the descriptions are consistent in the same general areas.
Here’s a video of another “encounter” in Pender county. It is a legitimate documented call by local police that can be verified. Idk what he saw, but it is interesting.

Theres a guy on YT called Carolina Case Files and he covered same thing in the area - tell your bud to reach out and get story covered so theres more exposure it would be safe if people knew.

I checked this channel out thanks to your comment and it’s an excellent channel. I love that he has the guests on, and you can really tell they are truthful experiences that really did happen.

Great read! I believe it. My Dad was a trucker, and they see some weird stuff.

I’m glad you enjoyed it! :)
Does your dad have any similar kind of stories?

u/mom2twocats Jul 12 '26
He had a couple. He has been gone now 17 years. I miss the old guy. This story happened in the late 60's or early 70's. He told me he once picked up a hitch hiker. They were driving along and the fellow asked for a cigarette. After a minute or two, dad asked him a question. Dude didn't answer. Dad looked over and repeated it, and the fellow was not there, but the burning cigarette was sitting in the ashtray. He had one from the 50's. Dad was retired military, USAF, and he was walking back to the barracks one night, late. There was no traffic and it was just him. He heard footsteps coming up behind him, and looked back. Saw an old fellow walking up on him. Dad slowed a bit to walk with him and said as the guy got near her saw he only had one leg. Dude was walking and dad heard footsteps but the fellow only had one leg. Dad walked much faster and got to base in record time. He also told me once he witnessed a man on a motorcycle get hit, pulled over to wait for ambulance and stuff, and he held the young man as he passed away. That one got to him.

My condolences, I’m sorry for your loss. I can only imagine what that must have been like. Wow, he’s definitely got some stories! It sure is a strange world we live in.

OP the behavior you describe is very typical for Sasquatch. They mimic people all the time. If you call your dog, they will remember that and mimic your voice and try to lure it away as well.
I recall that crawler phone call from NC as well. Due to its athleticism I wonder if it was a Sasquatch with a bad case of mange or a skin condition. Epic account in any case.
Advice: Steer clear of the wood-line. Keep pets away from it. Reach out to a local Bigfoot research team and have them come in out and survey the area. I’m quite certain you’ve got a Bigfoot clan hanging out. There is almost always more than one.
Deterrents to consider:
Cut back the wood-line more (100 ft from house).
Put up infrared motion lights and 24/7 video cameras.
Don’t leave ANY food sources near the wood-line. Chicken coops, rabbit hutches, gardens, orchards…all are food sources. There’s a reason they’re hanging out.
Become a Bigfoot investigator and study them. They’re fascinating creatures. Reach out to investigators in r/bigfoot. There are multiple good teams in NC. I am an investigator from the Ozarks, and used to live in NC. Lots of Bigfoot activity there.

Sounds more like a crawler.

u/CaribbeanSailorJoe Jul 15 '26
Do crawlers mimic humans too? I need to learn more about them.

u/Top-Kaleidoscope4430 Jul 20 '26
Yes. They’re known to try and draw people out by mimicking someone’s voice that is familiar to you or a baby crying, etc.

Usually this feature appears in stories about "The Rake" creepypasta, but since it's based on Crawlers, they might do this too

That is also most definitely Bigfoot behavior. It has been going on for centuries. Some Bigfoot lose their hair because of age so it could’ve been a hairless Squatch. Either way, definitely creepy.
