    A Monster Tormented Them For Years

    From 1977 to 1979, a family living in a remote house near the San Bernardino County mountains in Yucaipa, California, experienced repeated encounters with a mysterious creature they believed to be Bigfoot. The disturbances began one winter night with loud thuds on the roof, followed by sightings of a massive, hairy, bipedal figure that crossed roads, leapt fences, and lingered near their chimney. The creature’s presence escalated over time, marked by foul odors wafting through open windows, blocked views of distant lights, and even direct confrontations, including a terrifying moment when it stared at the narrator’s father through a window. Despite attempts to scare it off with shotguns and group pursuits, the creature persisted, harassing the family nightly—hitting the house, testing doors, and leaping off the roof—leaving them in constant fear until they moved out in 1979, an event the narrator, then a child, recalls as the happiest day of their life.

    Tom Franklin's short story collection Poachers was published in 1999. It contains a series of gritty, atmospheric stories set in the American South, often exploring themes of crime, moral conflict, and the harsh realities of rural life. The title story, Poachers, is one of the standout pieces in the collection, with its focus on a violent confrontation that spirals out of control. In addition to Poachers, Franklin has written other notable works, including the novel Smonk (2006) and Crooked Letter, Crooked Letter (2010), both of which further explore themes of violence, human flaws, and the deep complexities of Southern life. His writing is often marked by sharp, vivid prose and a keen sense of place.
