Bray Wyatt’s Man in the Woods Story

The children’s story begins with Bray Wyatt standing in the woods. His first words were that he grew up in South Central, Louisiana. Abigail (Sister Abigail) took him and his siblings to a cabin in the middle of nowhere. There was freedom, but even the greatest freedom comes with a price.

He said Abigail told him to be careful of the man in the woods, who was real. One day Bray and his siblings went rabbit hunting with their slingshots. When they heard a strange noise, they thought it was a bear. When the howling became louder, his brothers became afraid and ran away.

Bray was afraid, but he moved closer to the loud howling. When he saw the man in the woods, Bray described him as being about seven feet tall. He was pale as a pearl, with long yellow hair next to yellow eyes like a cat.

Bray was frozen in fear, but the man in the woods had the slingshot in his palm. A terrified Wyatt ran back to the cabin and told Abigail the whole incident.

However, Abigail’s calm response surprised him. As the man in the woods held his slingshot, Abigail replied, “Don’t you understand Bray, it’s his slingshot too. You’re the man in the woods.’
