Unknown Narrator

He noticed the timbre of the voice was more feminine and actually sounded like a recording being played back. The man's lip and mouth movements weren't matching the words. It was as if he was just opening his mouth, emitting the phrase, then closing it again. Marv asked, What do you need help with? not daring to back up or move at all.

The man, still standing motionless, still looking directly at Marv, said, Help me, again, and repeated the phrase another three times slowly, but not any louder. Now, completely unsure of what the hell was going on, Marv interrupted him by barking, All right, you need to go now, unless you actually need my help. He continued, loud and firm, Do you need my help or not? The man didn't miss a beat.

He started up with the help me again and made as if to take another step toward Marv. Marv told me he did the only thing that made sense in that moment. He drew his .45 semi-auto pistol and pointed it at the man, telling him again, you need to go, I don't care what you want.

The man grew more animated and agitated, actually starting to say the phrase louder and louder, but he neither stepped closer nor backed away. Marv did what he thought was right, given his predicament. Assuming he was dealing with an unstable or potentially dangerous individual, he discharged a round into the ground in front of the man. Here's where it gets fully absolutely crazy. I'm not kidding.

The man stopped uttering the phrase, went silent, and while still staring at Marv, did a full backflip somersault, the kind gymnasts do, backward into the woods, disappearing immediately from sight. Yes, you read that right. I know what you're thinking because I had, and still have, the same reaction. That sounds like bullcrap.

But Marv gave no indication of lying and told me this story multiple times. Every time in a dead serious manner. Marv said the man backflipped away effortlessly, as if pulled by an unseen tensioned coil. He described it as completely unnatural and totally out of place.

The man had just appeared, repeated the same phrase over and over, and became almost frantic before Marv fired at the ground in front of him, causing him, or it, to flee. Marv stood there, focused on the spot in the forest where the man had vanished. He saw and heard no further movement. It was as if the guy had never been there at all.

He stayed like that as the sun began to set and the normal night noises crept in. As I mentioned before, Marv is pretty unshakable and actually stayed in the area for the rest of that night and the next with no further incident. When he told me and some other friends about this, of course we had many questions. We asked him to elaborate on the man's speech.

He said the more he thought about it afterward, the more sure he was that it was definitely a female voice coming from the man. It was like he or it had heard someone say, "'Help me!' and was mimicking it like a parrot or some other talking bird, almost like a lure." He doesn't know what it wanted. It didn't give any indication that it wanted Marv to follow or do anything else.

It reacted immediately to the gunshot, and you know what followed. Marv has been back to the property since, with no other strange occurrences. The only other small detail I can think of is that during the early morning of that first night, he remembered hearing what sounded like a gunshot in the distance. It sounded eerily similar to his 45.
