Some kids hiking through the forest managed to capture this strange creature on tape. At first glance, I thought it might have been a Black Bear, but after watching it a second time, I am not so sure. Slow the video down and watch the way it runs… definitely not a bear. Perhaps an undiscovered animal? New species are discovered every day, so this is a possibility. What do you think it is?

Note: This is the second part to the story. If you haven’t read the first part yet, it can be found here.

Work on the house was coming along great. Bill had really fixed the old place up and it was starting to resemble more of a home rather than run down cabin in the woods. The walls had fresh paint, the place had new carpet, and all the broken windows were fixed. Bill was settled in and was starting to become comfortable.

But, that didn’t last long.

One night, while Bill was watching TV, he saw the creature again out of the corner of his eye. He didn’t dare turn his head this time. He didn’t want to scare it away. He wanted to find out what it was. Bill had a curious nature and decided he was going to let this situation play out.

From the side, he could vaguely make out the shape of the being standing in the doorway to the living room. It’s shadow was cast along the floor. The smell started to seep into the room.

Bill’s heart was beating a million miles per minute. He could feel the icy cold stare of the creature. Beads of sweat started to form on his forehead. He didn’t know what to do.

After what felt like an eternity, Bill decided he was going to confront the creature again. Bill slowly, but surely turned his head towards the doorway. The creature, upon seeing Bill divert his gaze, scurried off into the next room leaving behind that familiar scent of rotting chicken.

Bill stood up and went running into the next room, only to see the creature bolt out of the front door and off into the woods. The creature ran on two legs, like a man. This was definitely no animal.

Confusion set in. Bill’s mind was racing. He just saw something that he could not explain. He couldn’t deny it this time. He saw the creature running away in the moonlight and got a good look at it. A 4 foot tall troll.

Doing the only thing he could think of, Bill got on the phone and called his friend Tim to come over. Tim was there within the hour, and that’s when Bill told Tim the entire story of the creature.

Tim thought Bill was pulling a prank on him, but he quickly realized his friend was being dead serious. It was now pitch black out, but they couldn’t wait until morning to go search for this creature. They decided they had to investigate right away. They grabbed some shotguns and flashlights and started to hike into the woods.

After a few hours, they found nothing. They returned the house, and tried to go to bed, but couldn’t sleep. Tim left the next morning, leaving Bill alone in the house once more.

Bill only stayed in the house another few weeks after that. Sometimes, on dark, quiet nights, he would catch a glimpse of the creature peering in at him through windows. On other nights, he could smell the creature but never saw it. Bill couldn’t take it anymore. He always felt uneasy, as if something was watching him. He decided to pack up and leave the house. He sold it a few months later.

So, is there a troll roaming in North Hampton Woods? Bill swears this story is completely true, and I’ve never heard him tell a lie in his life. If there are any brave souls out there, maybe you can try to spot this elusive creature.

As promised in the previous post, I will now reveal the location of North Hampton Woods. The woods are located in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio off of Northampton Road. Here’s a map.

If you do go exploring out there, be sure to ask permission first. Some of the property is privately owned and I’m sure people won’t want you snooping around on their property uninvited. So, ask permission first, go at night, be safe, and I hope you find what you’re looking for…

I’m going to break away from the video and bizarre news postings for a bit, and share with you guys a story my friend used to tell me about the strange creature that lived in the woods by his house. He swears up and down that his story is 100% true, and I have no reason to think he is lying as he is a very honest, trustworthy person.

That being said, I know you’re going to enjoy this strange tale, so sit back, relax, and turn off the lights. I’m going to tell you about the creature who lives in North Hampton woods.

Let’s begin…

A few years ago, my friend Bill inherited a house out in the middle of the woods. It was a rather old house that kind of resembled a big log cabin. It was falling apart in places, and you could tell that time and the elements had taken it’s toll on the place. No one had taken care of it in years, but Bill decided to fix the place up and move in anyway.

Surrounding the house on all sides was one giant, endless forest called North Hampton Woods. As a side note, I’ve been out to those woods with Bill a few times and it’s an amazing place. Very quiet, very serene, and very peaceful.

Bill spent his first few days fixing up the old house. After about a week, however, Bill started to notice that something just wasn’t right.

Every once in a while, he would find his tools in a different spot than he had originally left them. There were no neighbors for miles, and nobody had been to the house except for him. Obviously, nobody was playing a prank on him. Bill dismissed it at first, and kept working day in and day out.

One night, soon after dark, while Bill was relaxing on his couch and listening to the radio, he heard something walking around outside. Since there were many animals in the area, he didn’t think much of it at first. After a few minutes the noise persisted, so Bill decided to investigate and make sure no animals were damaging his property.

He went outside with his flashlight, and after a quick search, could not find a single animal in the vicinity. So, he went back inside and layed back down on his couch. Just as he was starting to drift off to sleep, the slow tapping started.

From behind him, Bill distinctly heard somebody or something tapping on the glass of the window. It was as if something was trying to get his attention. Was it the wind? Was it a tree branch gently knocking against his window? He got a very sick feeling in his stomach as he slowly turned around.

There was nobody at the window. The tapping had stopped. Bill breathed a sigh of relief, and was turning back around when he caught a glimpse of a strange creature peering at him from the darkness in the room next to him. Bill froze with fear.

Bill described it to me as “troll like, small snakelike eyes, about 4 feet tall, and covered in thick, dark hair, with a terrible stench similar to rotting chicken.”

After the intial shock wore off, Bill quickly jumped off the couch and ran for the gun cabinet. After he flung the cabinet open and grabbed his shot gun, he turned around quickly and saw the creature was already gone. He tore through his house, gun in hand, checking every room, closest, and possible hiding space. He was screaming at the top of his lungs for this thing to leave. Yet, his search revealed nothing. A lingering, foul stench was the only evidence that the creature was ever inside his house.

Bill left the house that very same night and didn’t go back for weeks. Eventually, disbelief at what he had seen started to set in. As is common with a lot of traumatic or unexplainable incidents, he started to reason with himself that he had imagined or dreamt the whole thing. After mustering up a little courage, he went back to the house and resumed work.

Days passed without incident. In fact, the house was exactly as he had left it. Bill thought the whole creature incident was probably just a bad dream. He might have dozed off while sleeping on the couch that night and not even noticed. After a few more days of being back at thouse, he completely dismissed the incident from his mind.

Just when he started to get comfortable, the true horror began…

Stay tuned for part 2, coming soon… in the next part of the story, I will also reveal the location of North Hampton woods for all you creature hunters out there.
