Tonight on Backwoods Bigfoot Stories, we head deep into the haunted woods of rural Alabama — a place where family, legacy, and terror collide.In the summer of 1995, a struggling family inherited more than just forty acres of untouched woodland.

After losing his job at the paper mill, a man packed up his wife, Sarah, and their twelve-year-old son, Tyler, and moved them into his late grandfather’s abandoned cabin, hoping for a fresh start far from mounting debts and dwindling opportunities. But as they soon discovered, some inheritances come with a terrible price — and some places should have been left empty forever.What began as small disturbances — mysterious rocks hitting the roof in the dead of night — quickly escalated into something beyond comprehension.

The family found themselves under siege by massive, intelligent beings that had claimed those ancient woods long before humans ever set foot there.For nearly three decades, the man who lived through it kept his story buried. But now, after twenty-seven years of silence, he’s ready to tell what really happened during those horrifying weeks — when enormous hands slapped against the cabin walls, when red eyes watched from the darkness outside his son’s window, and when voices that no human throat could form whispered threats through the trees.

This isn’t just another Bigfoot encounter. It’s a story of survival, of territory violated, and of ancient rules broken. Drawing from newspaper reports dating back to the 1950s and scattered local testimonies, we uncover why certain areas in the deep Alabama backwoods remain untouched by development — and why locals still speak in whispers about the old Tillman place. In this chilling episode, you’ll hear his testimony — a warning passed down through time to anyone who might inherit an old property in the woods. Because in those forgotten corners of Alabama’s wilderness, the Old Ones still walk. 

They still watch. And they still play their terrible games with anyone foolish enough to enter their domain. Some gifts are curses in disguise. Some monsters are patient enough to let you go — knowing they can always come back for you later.

So settle in and listen close. This is “The Inheritance.”
After hearing it, you’ll never look at the woods the same way again.
