With Halloween around the corner, let's take a look at a spooky and supposedly true story going viral this week. Recently, a 911 call surfaced of a North Carolina man calling authorities because he thought he saw a bloody man by the side of a desolate country road. While he was speaking to the operator, something landed in the bed of his pickup truck, causing the 911 caller to start screaming "It's not human! It's not human!"
Check out the video:
The true part of the story
Unlike the overwhelming majority of spooky videos posted online, a big part of this story is true. It's a real recording of a 911 call placed at 11 p.m. on July 31, 2021 in Pender County, North Carolina. The verifiable details that the caller reported in the call are accurate too. Snopes listened to the entire 11-minute 911 call, and cross-checked the details to make sure the distance the caller said he'd driven check out, and they do.
"It's some yahoo calling in a hoax report to 911," you might be saying. Fair point, but that's a crime, and the unnamed caller was apparently believable enough that he wasn't arrested for filing a bogus police report. The sheriff took the incident seriously enough to open up a file about it, use state resources to look into it, and later do a media interview.
But I'm still 99.99% sure this guy either mistook something mundane for a monster or made up a tale entirely.
There actually could be a monster in North Carolina
Don't lose hope, all you "I want to believe" people. It could still be real. Up until the mid-1800s, gorillas were basically Bigfoot, as far as Western science was concerned: A few people told tales of spotting them deep in the jungle, but there wasn't a compelling reason to think they existed. Same with giant squids: Occasionally a sailor would swear he encountered one, but it wasn't until the 1840s that there was physical evidence, and we didn't have a photo of a giant squid until 2004.
Yeah, a previously undiscovered creature would have a harder time hiding out in modern North Carolina than gorillas had staying scarce in Cameroon in the 1840s, but it's October, so I'm calling it a (barely, technically possible) mystery instead of an outright lie.
