This episode of Unexplained Encounters features three chilling stories submitted by listeners, blending folklore, supernatural horror, and psychological terror. The first, 'A Werewolf Ate My Friend's Dog,' recounts a Marine veteran's harrowing night in the Ozarks, where he witnesses a massive, intelligent, humanoid wolf-like creature that kills his loyal dog Brutus. Armed with a rifle and a Glock, he barely escapes after a brutal confrontation, only to be pursued by the creature up a massive oak tree before using bear spray to drive it off. The second story, 'A Night in Gettysburg,' describes a paranormal experience at the historic battlefield, where the narrator feels watched, sees ghostly soldiers marching in a loop, and encounters a vengeful Confederate soldier haunting a historic inn. The third and most disturbing tale, 'I Watched My Uncle's Ranch While He Was Away,' tells of a man who discovers his dog Bear is being manipulated by a supernatural entity after a series of cow mutilations. The creature, revealed to be a shapeshifting woman who wears animal skins, ultimately kills Bear and takes over his body. The narrator barely escapes, only to return home to find his uncle dead in a fire—likely a victim of the same entity. The episode closes with a haunting reflection on guilt, loss, and the thin line between reality and the unknown.
Trust your animal's instincts—Bear's fear of the anemic cow was a warning sign.
In remote areas, always carry bear spray and a sidearm, even if you're not hunting.
If you see a living animal with a slitted throat, run immediately—something unnatural is at play.
Supernatural entities may mimic animals or use their forms to deceive and attack.
Trauma can manifest in ways that blur the line between memory and hallucination.

Introduction to Short Stories
Host Darkness Prevails introduces a break from long-form stories to share three shorter, unsettling submissions from listeners.
The Werewolf in the Ozarks
“I don't share this story to get sympathy, but rather as a warning. If you're going to be in the Ozarks at night, be prepared for anything.”
A Night in Gettysburg
“I simply can't explain away what happened at the battlefield. Farnsworth End, too, or the tavern. I do plan to go to Gettysburg again. Who knows what will happen next?”
The Cow Killer at Uncle's Ranch
“I realized then, Bear did not kill the cow thing. It had killed him. And whatever had truly controlled that thing, now controlled Bear.”
“I realized then, Bear did not kill the cow thing. It had killed him. And whatever had truly controlled that thing, now controlled Bear.”
“If you see a living animal with a slitted throat, run before it's too late.”
“I saw the same bright yellow lights from last night. The eyes were coming from inside the bear thing's mouth.”
