Bear boy, now this caught my attention. I briefly heard about him missing and then found, but did not know any details.
https://www.charlotteobserver.com/news/local/article225090590.htmlHe hung out with a bear friend for two days. Are not bears hibernating this time of year? In any case a bear is very highly doubtful. But he probably at only 3 years old has limited reference to describe what his friend really was. I am pretty sure it was a Bigfoot and even more sure it was a female Bigfoot. I am aware of a dozen or more cases where they have saved children lost in the woods before and this case fits. The reason hundreds of searches could not find the kid was because she was traveling with the kid and they can traverse the forest so many times better than we can. They are strategically built for the woods and can navigate woods very very fast if they need to. The crying from the woods was probably the Bigfoot itself, they can make child type cries ( they are great mimickers and I have heard them mimic owls and loons. It is not a perfect imitation and you can tell because it is louder and carries further ). Many hunters over the years have been baffled by hearing children in the forest crying only to go looking and finding nothing. I am sure she snuggled up at night and kept him close to keep the kid warm. It will be interesting for me to see if any further details from Casey come forward, because I am speculating but it is an educated speculation.
I came across this amazing rescue story back in December where a female Bigfoot rescued a 5 year old boy from a raging bull in West Virginia.
