Guest Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 UPDATE 2: I am finding more and more on this the deeper I look. It appears that this creature has been reported, just NOT on any BF related sites. That may explain why it's escaped notice from other researchers in the past. The following was cropped from a local message board. (Again, I have edited locations myself) White Thing of XXXXXX Posted on August 19, 2011by Anonymous For a very long time people have told me about the "White Thing" of XXXXXX, WV, a small community outside of XXXXXXX, WV in XXXXXXXX county. Several trusted friends of mine have told of their encounters with the thing. One friend said it could run faster than anything he'd ever seen in his life and that it stood up on two legs like a man and was tall. The other two friends were on an atv beside the railroad tracks at the edge of dark and seen a thing run across their path on four legs like a dog, then jump on a stack of railroad ties that are 4 & 1/2 feet tall on two legs before leaping an excess of 10 feet to the hillside. These boys (15 or 16 at the time) were very shaken up and crying when they returned home. I don't know anything else about the things in XXXXXXXXX other than that I trust and believe my friends 100%. They aren't the only ones who have had these experiences. All I could link them possibly to is the reported satanic worship that was said to have taken place in the bottom, up the road from XXXXXXXX, which is right beside a battery shop in XXXXXXXXX. inShar 4 thoughts on “White Thing of XXXXXXXXX†XXXXXXXXXX on October 10, 2011 at 3:50 pmsaid: I know you and your friends are telling the truth! My mother's family lives in XXXXXX. My mother grew up in a holler there and my mother and many others in her family have seen the white thing. It's exactly as you described, and they also mentioned that it makes noises where it screams like a woman or cries like a baby. Crazy! Well-loved.

Guest Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 UPDATE 3: Still finding reports referencing a large white creature showing at least some proclivity to bipedalism. (Again, locations edited by me) This one is quite a wways from the others, but so similar in description I thought I'd post it. White Thing Posted on July 14, 2004by It was mid-January in XXXXXXXXXX, West Virginia and I was walking through the woods. I heard something rustling in the brush about 100 yards away. I walked up a right-of-way to see what it was. I wish I‘d stayed home. As I topped the right-of-way, what appeared to be a large white bear was walking along the ridge line. I stopped dead in my tracks at the sight of it. I moved over the hill and was about 50 yards from the beast. I crouched down and watched it for two or three minutes. I then tried to work my way down the hill and back to my house. Well, when I stood up the beast saw me and stood up on its hind legs and ran off the top of the ridge into the woods. I've never saw it again. I don't really know what this thing is and would really like to find out. I've had friends tell me I'm crazy, others tell me it was just an albino bear, but I know better it was like nothing I had ever seen in my life. UPDATE 4: yet another WV report that hasn't been linked to BF by reporting source or website. I have missed all this for years by concentrating on the keywords Bigfoot or Sasquatch. White Beast Posted on July 14, 2004by XXXXXXXXX My husband and I were taking a drive one night down Route XX going toward XXXXXXXX. We had just gotten to where there were no lights or houses around. I was looking out my window trying not to be scared of what I might see. Joe (my husband) had said something and as I turned my head to answer him, I looked ahead and saw something. About 50 yards ahead of us was something in the road. It was on all fours and was snow white. It was bigger than a dog, way bigger. As we got closer it turned and looked our way. Its mouth opened and it stood up on two legs and began running across the road and up through the woods. I never said a thing. All I could do was sit there, stunned. A few minutes later Joe asked if I had seen what he had seen. Unable to answer him, I began to cry. Wanting to go home we decided to cross the bridge and go through XXXXXXX home. Neither of us wanted to go back the way we came. UPDATE 5: This one describes an attack on a human!! TheThing Posted on July 14, 2004by This is the same White Beast that others have talked. It screams like a woman and has been known to hurt people. This creature will mostly warn you when there is going to be a death, but sometimes I think it gets angry with people! One incident where this creature hurt someone was my Great Uncle Sam. He was walking the five miles up the holler to see my great aunt when they were dating. As he was walking, it was dark and he had a flashlight. He kept hearing someone or something following him. He would look back and no one was there. He then heard it in the woods. His flashlight went out and the "thing" screamed and attacked him. His flashlight then came back on as it was leaving and he seen it. It looked back at him with an evil look and ran into the woods. He then took off running to my mom and grandma's house. When he got there, they had seen the deep scratches in his back. They had to rush him to the hospital to be stitched-up and he described it to everyone as this: A white furry bear with a man's face and feet with a woman's scream. He said it is about 7 ft tall. He still has the scare and can tell you about it! UPDATE 6: I not sure about this one, but since it's related to the others I will post it anyway. The Croup Posted on July 14, 2004by Anonymous This is not a personal encounter and I probably would never recount this story if I had not seen something on this sight entitled "The White Thing". This sparked my interest. I don't know if my story relates since I left WV years ago and have never heard this legend. I have been told a story since I was very young about a true encounter that my Grandmother had when she was a young mother. Her son was a baby and had a terrible cough believed to be the croup. Given the era and the poverty level in this area of XXXXXXXXXX County, she did not own a car and set out to walk my uncle the 3 miles out of the "holler" despite a terrible snowstorm. It was due to this dense snow that she did not notice at first that she was not making this journey alone. After repeatedly hearing footsteps going along with hers, she looked more intently to the other side of the street. She realized that there was a "creature" walking along with her. She described this anomaly as being white in color, looking similar to a cow but sitting much too low to the ground to be one. She did not, however feel threatened in any way. Her impression of the presence was that it was protecting and guiding her through the storm. At all times, it kept it's distance from her and her sick infant. Now word of such a sighting traveled very fast in this small community. It was not long before a local man sought out my Grandmother to recount to her a similar incident. He confided in my Grandmother that he had seen the same creature only a few day earlier. Unlike my Grandmother, however the creature had not kept it's distance from this gentleman. According to him, it had "dragged" him from his home and up the mountain behind his property. Once there the creature had spoke to him and shown him bright colorful lights leading up to the heavens. The creature had told him that he was to tell none of there encounter or he would die. My Grandmother was a bit unsure of this story since it varied so much from her experience. She quickly dismissed it. That is, until she received the word of his death three days later. I find it a little odd how closely the physical description of this sighting correlates to the Bell Witch in Ten. Has anyone else been handed down similar stories from a reliable source? UPDATE 7: I CANNOT believe the number of reports of this thing in WV that I NEVER knew about before the past week. If you're analyzing the reports as close as i am, you've probably noticed they all were posted on July 14 2004. EVERY post on the site carries this date, wheter it relates to the "White Beast" creature or not. I think the moderator of the site posted them all at once. Another White Beast Encounter Posted on July 14, 2004by XXXXX I've had two encounters with The White Beast. Both occurred around or near my best friend's house in XXXXXXXXXXXX, West Virginia. I used to spend more time there than at my own home. His dad owned about three acres of land, but only about three-quarters of an acre was cleared for their house and yard. The rest was thick woods. The first incident occurred around 1994, right in his front yard. We were playing, running in and out of his dad's small pull-behind camper. Around dusk, we decided to leave the camper and go inside to play some games. I stepped out of the trailer first, followed closely by my friend. When I looked to my right, I saw something that looked like a large, white bear. When my friend looked to see what I was staring at, the thing looked back at us. It was approximately fifty yards away from us. Then it stood up on it's hind legs and was about six and a half feet tall. It turned and ran through the woods away from us, breaking sticks and medium-sized limbs off of trees as it went. The next incident occurred around 1999, in the same woods. This time we were camping out in the woods. The only trail leading to the camp site was a little less than a mile long. Around 2 AM, we began hearing something moving around just outside of the light provided by our campfire. All of the sudden, the White Beast appeared out of the darkness and charged at us. We jumped up and ran back to his house, all the while this thing was chasing us. The thing stopped at the wood line and let out a terrible scream. Then it just turned around and headed back into the woods. The next morning, we examined the trail, and the ground was so torn up that it appeared as though someone had taken a tiller all the way out the trail.

Guest Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 Nope. I didn't but none are in the exact location I'm working anyway. Some are close, but none exactly. I guess my excitement at finding other documented reports overrode my caution. Oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chelefoot Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 Many aspects of these claim that it went up on two feet and ran away. Along with other BF behavior... Doesn't this not sound like a white bf? Does to me. BOLDING MINE UPDATE 3: Still finding reports referencing a large white creature showing at least some proclivity to bipedalism.

Guest StevieStrangeGlove94 Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 Space cowboy! I just came across a book called "white things" by a chase mccoy. It is indeed about these mysteriouse white beasts in wv. You should deffinetley check it out. Also have you heard of sheepsquatch? Some say they are half sheep half human which is ridiculose, but its possiblie it is one of these womanigs? They are said to lurk in mainly wv.

Midnight Owl Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 In my opinion, folks widely assume that the wilderness areas of North America have magically transformed into safe secure areas with no existing threats. I have learned this may be true in many instances, but the unexpected wild card can surface when you least expect it. If you are not prepared or have a plan, the results could mean your life. I was in a forested park area enjoying a great afternoon of hiking and looking for Bigfoot signs. Without any warning, not one, but three Pit Bull dogs broke out of the brush and charged me. I had absolutely no where to run, hide or climb! Without my legally tucked away 45 ACP, I would have been their helpless chew toy. Two well placed shots just in front of the lead dog caused all three to turn and run away. I high tailed it the other direction with no harm done. The news is full of what these animals can do to helpless folks who have done nothing to warrant an attack. I was on open public land not expecting trouble, but prepared none the less....
