B’s Hunter Hotline

Your resource when shit goes sideways

[bhuntsghouls]

Hey y’all, call me B.

We all need a little anonymity in this life, hope you don’t mind.

After a recent hunt down in the beautiful Chattanooga I realized something. I don’t have a whole lot of resources. I have a few hunter friends here and there scattered around the country, but it’s hard to get ahold of them sometimes. It got me thinking, is hunters have to stay connected.

We all talk about needing each other and that we’re all One Big Happily Dysfunctional Monster Hunter Family; you know, like the Brady’s, but most of the time we fail to act like it.

Long story long, I’m here to be a resource. Whether it be for lore info, hype for an upcoming case or sorting through old ones, I’m your gal. It’s about time we start properly looking out for each other.

Just call me

Hey guys

Sorry I went MIA there for a bit…I’m in rough shape. Good news is though, I’m alive. My good friend @islaymonsters made sure of that.

I’m stuck in a hospital at the moment, you’re reading the words of a 100% genuine Jane Doe with “bear attack induced trauma and amnesia” I would’ve ran a theatre club in high school if given half a chance.

Friendly reminder to never hunt alone, especially when you’ve never seen the thing your up against before. We have a hard life out here, don’t make it harder for yourself by getting yourself halfway killed and praying your phone calls go through.

Now, what is a skin walker? According to the lore a skin walker is a being (or cryptid) that used to be a Shaman or medicine man that let their power and magic corrupt them inside and out until it overtook their humanity and turned them into the reason Appalachian children are terrified to whistle.

Anywho, in case any of you encounter a lovely skin walker friend here’s how you…kill them…sorry y’all the loopy drugs are making me very uncreative.

1. Some say simply silver bullets or a weapon made of silver will do the trick as it will for other kinds of shapeshifters, however this is mostly word of mouth so I’m not entirely sure how well it works as I was more interested in traditional accounts and folklore (Navajo in case any of you wish to do more research than the minimal I did for my own survival)

2. Going along with that same theme, fire. Now setting something on fire will 9 times out of 10 kill that thing. However, then it becomes a matter of getting close enough to do that which I was not about to do.

3. Make a friend in a Navajo Shaman. The Shaman can reverse the evil magic that created the skin walker in the first place. Now since I don’t have any Shaman friends this one was a little difficult for me.

4. Knowing the human name of the skin walker. Navajo legend says that if you were to speak the full human name in the skin walkers presence it will feel shame and power will be given to the human…part and they will be able to subdue their curse and hopefully kill it or help you do so.

5. White ash. For this one you gotta make some white ash from a tree and then dip your weapon of choice into it. I’ve found dipping a few bullets in it and then aiming for the head is pretty effective.

I hope you never have to encounter one of those things but in case you do I hope you learned a little something.

Now I’m going to leave you with a great piece of advice: always have a friend that will track you down after a suspiciously silent phone call, find your ass barely kicking in the middle of the woods, and drag you to the nearest hospital.

Stay safe

Hey y’all, I’m holed up in a little motel in East Tennessee for a job. Somehow I always find myself back in this state, it’s pretty though so can’t complain about that much.

Anyways, what brought me out here was a call I got from a friend out in Kentucky who told me that in the past month alone 6 people have gone missing in the woods out here. Of course when they finally found the body of one who seemed to have been mauled to death, the town ruled it a bear attack. My problem with that is theyre black bears around here. They’d much rather climb a tree to get away from you than inflict that kind of damage.

Now even after that I wasn’t entirely sure I was going to take this case, after all I’m a busy woman. But then there was a witness, someone who made it out. He told the sheriff that what he saw stalking him in the woods before it attacked (giving him a nasty scratch across his face) was a giant dog.

Did I think it was possible he had watched Twilight the night before and thought he saw Jacob when it was in fact a bear or a wild boar? Sure I did, but the prospect of hell hounds got me on the road.

I went in the woods yesterday to check it out and they weren’t kidding, I really felt watched. I tried convincing myself it was all in my head but it was a little hard to do that when a giant dog started chasing me. I shot at it a few times and it swiped at me, luckily I made it out with the important parts of my leg. Only thing is before it ran away it changed. I can’t even explain how grotesque it is to see a giant dog change into an elk.

As a hunter you always hear about skinwalkers. But you always pray you never see one.

If I call any of you without telling you something only you would know, I didn’t call you.
