Hal Williams’s “Deathbed Confession” Is Just Him Shitting on the Floor and Yelling About Bigfoot
**OMAHA, NE** — In a turn of events that has absolutely *nobody* with a functioning brain surprised, 84-year-old Hal Williams has decided to cap off his seven-decade-long reign of being the world’s most insufferable neighbor by delivering what he calls a “deathbed confession.” The only problem? The confession is 40% racist rambling, 55% senile nonsense about a Bigfoot that lives in his crawlspace, and 5% him actually shitting on the floor because he refuses to wear a diaper.
“He called us all in — me, his son, the hospice nurse, and the poor kid from DoorDash who was just trying to deliver his meatball sub — and said he had to clear his conscience before he met his maker,” said Diane Miller, 67, Williams’s neighbor of 30 years, who was reportedly only invited because she has the only working can opener on the block. “I thought he was gonna finally admit to poisoning my dog, Mr. Snuggles, back in ’97. But instead, he just pointed at the hallway closet and screamed that ‘the hairy fella’ was gonna get us if we didn’t leave out a plate of raw hot dogs.”
Yes, folks. We’ve reached the final boss of Midwestern elder chaos. Hal Williams, the man who once called the cops on a group of kids for “loitering with intent to giggle,” is using his last remaining breaths to gaslight his family into believing a 7-foot-tall cryptid has been living rent-free in his water heater closet since the Carter administration.
According to the hastily-scrawled notes taken by his grandson, 28-year-old Kyle, the “confession” started with a promising opener. Hal allegedly whispered, “I did things. Terrible things. Things I can never take back.” The room went silent. Diane started crying. Kyle started recording on his iPhone, hoping to finally get closure on the mysterious disappearance of his Beanie Babies collection in 2004.
“Then he just… coughed up a loogie and said, ‘I voted for Nixon twice, and I don’t regret it. And I once stole a pack of gum from a Kwik Trip in 1973, but I blame the Jews for that,’” Kyle told reporters, visibly exhausted. “And then he started screaming about how ‘Sasquatch’ was trying to steal his hemorrhoid cream. So, yeah, I think the Alzheimer’s has finally hit the ‘expired meat’ stage.”
The situation devolved rapidly. What should have been a somber final moment turned into a 45-minute hostage negotiation where Williams demanded that his family “release the hairy fella” or he would “hold his breath until his face turned blue.” At one point, he reportedly threatened to call the FBI on his own nurse for “smelling like a wet Irish setter.”
“I’ve seen a lot in my 20 years as a hospice nurse,” said Maria Gonzalez, who was visibly clutching a crucifix. “I’ve seen people ask for their dead mothers. I’ve seen people try to give away their life savings. I’ve even seen a guy try to fight a ceiling fan. But I have never, ever seen an old man try to bribe a fictional creature with a plate of gas station sushi and a coupon for 10% off at Bed Bath & Beyond.”
The “Bigfoot” in question, it turns out, is almost certainly just Hal’s own reflection in a dusty mirror he refuses to let anyone clean. Or, as his son, Gary Williams, 58, theorizes, it’s the 40 pounds of trash bags full of old *TV Guide* magazines that Hal has been hoarding since 1986, which have begun to take on a vaguely humanoid shape due to water damage and rat nests.
“Dad hasn’t let anyone into that closet since Mom died in 2009,” Gary said, rubbing his temples. “We assumed it was because he was hiding the good silverware. Turns out he was hiding a pile of his own dried feces and a copy of *The Turner Diaries* he swears he’s ‘just reading for the plot.’ The ‘Bigfoot’ is probably just a raccoon that got in through the crawlspace and ate a bunch of his blood pressure meds.”
But the real kicker? Hal’s “confession” took a hard pivot when he realized no one was taking the Sasquatch threat seriously. In a moment of what can only be described as “chaotic evil clarity,” he announced that he was changing his will. Instead of leaving his modest savings and his 1987 Buick LeSabre to his only son, he declared he would be leaving everything to “the hairy fella, provided he shows up to the funeral and wears a tie.”
“He literally looked my husband in the eye and said, ‘Gary, you’re a disappointment. The hairy fella understands me. He’s the only one who’s ever truly listened,’” Diane recounted. “Then he turned to the DoorDash kid and asked if he could get him some Arby’s instead, because the meatball sub was ‘too spicy.’”
The DoorDash kid, 19-year-old Tyler Jenkins, is now the star of a GoFundMe page with the goal of raising $50,000 so he can “go to therapy and also buy a gun.” He reportedly stood frozen for the entire encounter, holding the sub, as Hal accused him of being a “government shill sent to spy on the forest people.”
“I’ve delivered to a lot of weird houses,” Tyler said in a TikTok video that has since gone viral, garnering 2.3 million views. “I’ve seen a guy open the door in a full gimp suit. I’ve seen a woman try to pay me in Beanie Babies. But nobody has ever accused me of working for the CIA and also demanded I check the attic for a ‘big hairy boy’ named ‘Larry.’ I’m never eating meatball subs again.”
As of press time, Hal
