Ok I’m legit freaking the fuck out right now and need somebody to tell me I’m just tired and seeing shit.
>Be me
>northern Alabama fag, right on the edge of the Bankhead Forest
>took the wife + rug-rats down to Gulf Shores for a long-ass weekend
>left early Friday morning
>didn’t get back home until 8:00 Monday morning
>house looked fine, no busted windows, nothing stolen
>decide to scrub through the patio CCTV just in case some tweaker snooped around while we were gone
>01:13 AM timestamp flicks past and my stomach drops
Pic related (screenshot from the cam): there’s this pale, spindly thing trotting past the tree line where the floodlight doesn’t quite reach. Four legs, but the proportions are wrong. Looks like a greyhound that got stretched on a medieval torture rack. No collar reflection, no eye-glint. It just glides across the frame and melts back into the treeline like it owns the damn place.
Couple details that make me think this isn’t just a stray:
No paw prints in the dew when I checked the mulch this morning ground ought to be soft after last night’s storm.
Neighbor’s outdoor cat hasn’t shown for breakfast; wife says she hasn’t seen him either since we got home.
I’ve heard stories my whole life about the Alabama White Thang big pale critter, stinks like roadkill, screams like a woman, prowls the hill country after midnight. Always figured it was booze + campfire bullshit. Now I’m not so sure.
>what do
>kids are already spooked because the dog refuses to go near the back door
>wife says call animal control but lmao like they’ll believe this shit
>part of me wants to sit outside tonight with the .30-30 >part of me remembers every “don’t go into the woods at night” post on this cesspit
Anybody here in North Bama seen something like this? Is there a less “shoot it and hope” plan? Should I bait a trail cam with deer guts or is that begging for trouble? I swear if this thing comes up on the porch while the kids are asleep I’m gonna lose my god-damn mind.
