always loved animals and I enjoyed helping out the farm feeding the animals and cuddling with the piglets my dad had built the pig housing just a couple of years Before now when you entered through the main entrance you would find yourself at the beginning of a long Corridor with four doors on the right side and two doors on the left with one door at the end of the corridor leading out to the back side of the building the first door on the right led to an office and staff room and the second door led to

a storage room the following two doors on the right and the last door on the left led to the three What we called Pig Stables called stable number 1 2 and three each with 48 separate pins where the pigs were housed the first door on the left went to the barn where we stored food and straw for the animals now the way this Farm worked was that we received pregnant SS a week or two before they were expected to give birth and when the piglets were old enough these SS were sent to the other Farms

to rest for a few months before They were impregnated again the piglets stayed with us until they were old enough to be sent off to slaughter now back to the story the day of my encounter was a very cold winter day probably around December or January the ground was covered in a thick layer of snow and the sky was clear a perfect winter day my sister and I had arrived at our dad's place around lunchtime the same day that afternoon we were in The Stables helping out with the chores I remember that in stable number

one it held Slaughter pigs that were maybe a couple of months old in stable number two we had pregnant s expecting to give birth at any day and stable number three was empty at the time it had just been cleaned and prepared for a new delivery of pregnant s to arrive within a few few days I remember my sister being so bored that day the only thing she liked to do Was cuddle and play with the newborn piglet of which we had none at the time my dad was in the empty stable number three working

on a broken gate to one of the pins which had been damaged when the slaughter pigs that were housed there earlier were moved I had just fed the pigs in stap too when my dad told me that he had found one of the slaughter pigs injured now it was quite common for them to get injured when they're in the Teenage stage of life trying to establish dominance and being very eager and playful but it was unusual for them to get any serious injuries usually it was just smaller scratches and bite marks when he told me

that this pig probably had a broken front leg my heart dropped because I knew that there was nothing we could do and the pig would have to be put down to end its misery I hated that it was not often it Happened but when it did I always teared up I helped my dad to find the injured Pig and we carried it out through the door to the backside of the building out on the backside there was a big round manure tank approximately 15 m in diameter and several meters deep partly buried in the ground

with just about a meter of the top above ground level level we carried the pig to the other side of the tank and my dad brought a Butchery bolt gun but I Refused to stay out there while my dad did what he had to do I went back inside and I continued to feed the pigs listening to music trying to get my mind off of what happened to that poor Pig after a while my dad came in to tell me he needed to go to his Workshop to get some tools to fix the gate and

he asked if I wanted to stay here or come with him his Workshop was where he stored and maintained his agricultural machines and Equipment it was a 10-minute drive from the farm and he said he would be back in half an hour so I told him I would stay I helped him carry some tools to his car then watched him and my sister drive away it was mid-afternoon by then but it was already dark outside now I was alone on the Farm but I didn't mind that we lived just south of the Arctic Circle and

in the winter we only have a few hours of sunlight From the late morning to early afternoon so I was used to the short winter days and the Darkness at the moment the sky was still clear but it was now covered with bright stars and the moon which looked big and bright and more beautiful than usual I went back inside to the staff room to we one of the sandwiches my dad had brought for us after that I went back to start cleaning out the pins in stable one and Two these Stables had slatted floors

that could be open to scrape down any dung and straw which was then automatically transported out to the open manure tank on the back side because of the freezing temperature I first had to go out on the back to start a circulation pump to keep the liquid manure from freezing in the pipes I I went out the back opened the hatch to the control panel and started the Pump I then closed the hatch and I looked across the manure tank at the pig lying there in the snow a dim light Shone Through the Windows from

the lights inside and from the Moon lighting up the area the snow under the pig's head was now colored red and I actually felt a bit relieved that he was no longer in pain I went back inside starting to clean up out the pins after about half an hour I'd Finished the two Stables my dad and sister weren't back from the workshop yet so I decided to go to the staff room to have a Coke from the refrigerator and watch some TV until they came back we still had some work to do but I felt

I deserved a break they'd probably be back any minute after a few minutes of watching some boring reality show and drinking Coke and having my second second Sandwich I remembered I left the circulation pump to the manure tank on out back I put down my sandwich and went out to the corridor towards the back door to turn it off I opened the back door stepping out and I was just about to open the hatch to the control panel when I saw something moving in the corner of my right eye just across the manure tank I

looked over towards it and immediately my heart felt as if it Stopped my entire body froze from Fear what I saw was something I had never seen before something I hope against hope that I'll never have to see again over on the other side of the manure tank there was a huge animal leaning over the carcass of the pig we'd left out there earlier in the day the animal faced away from me so I could only see its back at first I thought thought it was a brown bear but it was way bigger and it

had a tail with long Hair on it like the tail of a golden retriever this animal was covered in dark gray and black fur with a wide muscular upper body and I could see the steam from its breath rising in the cold air suddenly the animal stood up on its hind legs it really was huge I would guess maybe 220 to 240 cm tall it turned its head slightly to the right nose towards the sky and it opened its mouth to toss a piece of meat down its Throat the head was definitely the head of

a wolf but much bigger and darker it had long furry ears pointing upwards and a long snout with big canine teeth we have both wild wolves and bears living in this area but this oh this was something else something bigger stronger something that gave off an evil Vibe the animal leaned down over the pig carcass again continuing to Feast on its meal I realized it hadn't yet noticed me standing there outside the door behind It I was so scared I didn't know if I should scream cry or faint my body was still frozen and just

wouldn't move finally I found the strength to silently walk backwards inside and softly close and lock the door even when I was inside I tried to run through the corridor as quietly as possible to lock the front door as well I did not want to give that monster any chance to get inside I walked over to the door to Stable number two that had Windows facing the backside where the creature had had been I looked into the stable through the window and the door the windows in the wall were about 2 m up from the

floor from there I could only see the steam from its breath rising in the air outside suddenly some of the pigs saw me through the door window and started to grunt loudly soon all of them were grunting very loud as they always do When they see a person at the door they were excited hoping I was bringing them more food [Music] I looked back to the windows just in time to see the creature stand up and turn towards the window looking in the direction of the sound of the pigs I could only see the top

of its head and the ears when it walked up to the window I quickly sat down on the floor in front of the door and now silently I Cried I started to crawl on the floor back to the staff room to get to the phone and call my dad remember this was around the year 2000 when a 12-year-old wouldn't have a mobile phone I reached the door and realized that there are two big windows in the staff room windows that didn't have any curtains or blinds I didn't dare go inside risking that the creature would

turn up on the front side of the building and see me Through the window I sat down in the corner between the doors to the staff room and the front door at that point I could not hold it in anymore I began to cry like never before I was sure this monster would get inside and if it did it would hear me crying and it would find me suddenly the door handle on the front door violently turned and something tried to push the door open I screamed and the handle turned again followed by Two loud

thuds and an attempt to break the door open I was sure then that I was going to die when the door handle turned once more I heard hard knocking on the door followed by my dad's voice calling out for me I rushed up unlocking and opening the door telling my dad and sister to hurry inside and to lock the door after they did when I turned to my dad he saw that I'd been crying and he asked what was wrong I told him the whole story of what I called the werewolf and he looked at

me not saying a word then looked at my sister he looked back at me and asked if I am done feeding and cleaning the pins I nodded he nodded back thoughtfully looking down at the floor for a few seconds then back at us telling us that the rest of the work can wait until tomorrow then he took us back home in the evening he went by himself to give the pigs their evening meal my sister and I watch watched him From the Upper Floor of the house as he walked across the yard hoping that the

creature would not be hiding in the dark ready to attack my dad I remember him looking all around him with a flashlight as he walked when he came back I asked if he had seen the dead pig on the backside he said he had rather what was left of it he said it looked as if some sort of Predator had found it and dragged the rest of it into the Forest after that in incident my dad was very clear we were not allowed to go outside after dark as I got older I've been thinking a

lot about that day and how my dad reacted after I told him what happened followed by the new strict rules about never going outside after dark did he know this creature existed did he know that it lurked in the forests surrounding the farm had he seen it Himself my dad dad later passed away from leukemia some years later before I had a chance to ask him about it but I'm sure he knew something about the creature I saw that day a dog man stared me down from Colorado Rocky 1 this story happened on my grandparents

property up in the Colorado mountains a couple of hours outside of Denver my grandparents lived in a decent sized cabin in the smack dab middle of the Woods and they have about 168 Acres of forest I was 19 at the time I decided to go hunting since deer was in season and I was honestly really excited to go hunting that year it was around 9:00 a.m. after a breakfast of pancakes and eggs I packed up a small backpack I told my parents and grandparents I was going out for a while to see if I could

bag a deer they said okay and I was on my way now I'm 6'4 and about 185 I would definitely not consider myself a small guy anyway it took about 30 minutes for me to get to my tree stand along the way I tried my best to be quiet it was freezing outside must have been around 10° but the wind chill was way worse I soon arrived at the the stand and took the ladder up and I sat there for a while I was in a very good spot I was high enough to see around

me and I Was partially covered by leaves and branches here and there I made calls and noises and after about 2 hours I spotted three does running out of the trees and right into my shooting Lane I unfortunately was not going for Doe's but it was a bit of a morale boost because it meant that the deer were out out and about around here I really needed that because I was freezing my butt off in that stand after watching these dos for a bit They disappeared off in another Direction and I was alone again I

waited for about another hour to see if anything else would come up but nothing did I opened up my backpack and pulled out a couple of granola bars and some trail mix it was lunchtime and I was starving I finished my snacks and sipped on some water in the middle of a drink a big 8o buck came trotting through the trees to be honest I nearly choked on my Water this was the biggest bug I've ever seen it was right in my line of sight and it was broadside which was perfect it was about 50ish

yards out and my heart was pounding I was so excited I carried my personal 308 Winchester which my dad bought me the year before when I turned 18 I steadied my aim took a deep breath and as I looked through and adjusted the scope I saw the darn thing kick into gear and Sprint away into the trees dang it I Muttered I was genuinely pretty teed off by then what the heck it scared it off I wondered I looked around with the scope glancing to my left and that's when I saw it about 30 ft

to the left of where the deer had been I couldn't believe what I was seeing there was a set of big Amber eyes staring right into my soul through the scope whatever it was it had somehow seen me from this distance in my stand my gut dropped as I saw this Creature slowly emerge from the forest coming right into my view it stood on two legs it was jet black and the head reminded me of a German Shepherd its ears were pointed and it was very very big if I had to guess it seemed to

be standing at about 8 ft tall this thing was so well toned not like a bodybuilder but more like a professional track runner its legs were skinny and doglike its arms were lanky ending in Claws then I saw its lips curl back as it showed its teeth to me it was snarling at me I wanted to leave I wanted to escape from there but I couldn't stop staring at it I was fixated on it and it was fixated on me I was freezing cold and now my blood felt like ice coarsing through my veins I

trembled thoughts running through my mind as I realized my 308 Winchester was probably not going to do me any good Against this thing which could probably shred me to bits as if my mind and soul weren't shattered enough this thing began to slowly walk toward my stand it got about 25 ft away from me and just stared words cannot describe the fear and Terror I felt it gave me this look of you're lucky you didn't shoot that deer otherwise you'd be next the Beast then growled this really low grumbly loud growl the best I can

Describe it was like an alligator Bellow but longer but not as throaty and more doglike I was sweating so bad my heart pounding out of my chest then it gave a sort of snort and turned around in a swift motion had got on all fours and ran in the direction of the buck I sat there for a a good half hour watching and waiting because there was no way you were going to get me out of that stand after watching it run off not Until I was sure it was long gone eventually I finally gathered

the courage and sprinted home so fast I told my parents but they didn't believe me my grandparents on the other hand pulled me aside afterwards and said they'd seen something like it too it's been a couple years though but they've seen it and they know it's out there I've been back several times and I've never seen it again but luckily I Don't want to I think myself insanely lucky lucky that that creature was hungry for deer and not me a brief warning to those out in the woods there are some things out there that can't

be tamed so be alert and be careful my friend saw a dog man in his backyard from sneeve 0426 it was back sometime in 2019 late in the year one of my friends Ted saw Something in the middle of the night tired and feeling fatigued Ted woke up rolling out of bed he headed to the bathroom and then to the kitchen for a late night snack whilst indulging in his snack he began walking around his living room until he made his way to the window at the back of the house it was on the second

floor by the kitchen while staring outside a sudden figure in his backyard caught his attention now the yard was huge nothing Really in it though besides a couple of trees one of which had since rotted and fallen down he noticed a bit past one of those trees a figure with glowing red eyes a large snout and it stood at about 7 ft tall the creature reared up on its legs and he saw that it had jet black fur and was very muscular it had these large perked ears too similar to a German Shepherd or perhaps

a wolf but creepier yet it appeared to have adlers as well But he says maybe that was just part of its ears he couldn't really be sure because it was very dark the creature sniffed the air then suddenly looked directly at him as his eyes met the Gaze of this Beast he noticed that the eyes were a shade of blood red the same color mentioned before he couldn't believe what he was looking at he knew what he was seeing was the real deal he could see its breath in the cold night Air as the creature

grunted and bared its teeth it also began to growl now this growl did not sound like a normal animal but a deep Primal guttural growl nothing like he'd ever heard before the creature took one last glare at him and ran off jumping over the fence with ease shortly afterwards Ted returned to his room lying in bed wondering what he really saw he found it hard to fall back to Sleep but eventually he did to this day he still wonders if he'll ever see that creature again this encounter was not far away from where I live

but it's absolutely horrifying to think about after all we do live in the suburbs new Dogman encounter 2023 from C Philly 100 A girlfriend of mine reached out to me me with this story which I found of particular interest and you'll soon see Why this happened along the dutes river trail outside of Bend Oregon she was running along the trail when she heard something behind her when she turned around she thought she saw what looked to be a black wolf quickly approaching her from behind without thinking she found the nearest tree and started to climb

up she got about halfway up when this wolf reached the bottom of the tree to her horror she saw another one Approaching from the opposite direction the first wolf began to climb the tree which is also when she realized its paws looked wrong they looked more like the hands of a raccoon than wolf paws she broke off a branch and began to swat at the wolf-like creature it hopped down and the other one began climbing up towards her her perch in the tree again she swatted the branch and the other one jumped down too she

said the two of them looked up At her their eyes reminding her of a German Shepherd's eyes almost a bright orange color and rather intense they appeared to be studying her the first one started climbing up again and that's when she began to pray she honestly felt those were about to be her last moments on Earth at that very moment a deer ran by about 40 yard or so off to the right away from the river evidently trying to vacate the area these wolf creatures saw the deer And immediately took off after it running rapidly

on all fours she waited a couple of minutes until she was sure they were gone then quickly she shuffled down the tree and ran back in the direction where she came from away from those wall wolves when I asked her how big they were she said they were about the size of German Shepherds but very dark in color with these oddl looking Paws that weren't quite Paws but not like human Hands either when I pressed her on this she was reluctant to explain further as the retelling itself was understandably rather emotional for her I then

told her about dog men and asked her if she thought they might be a young dog person she really couldn't say she'd never seen a fully grown dog man to compare it to she did say that they looked healthy big bushy Tails thick black fur not to mention those bright orange eyes another thing that struck me as odd Is that wolves almost never attack people and they certainly don't climb trees it sounded like their hands for lack of a better term allowed them to climb up toward where she was sitting in the tree it also

sounded like they weren't really trying to hurt her but were more so engaging in a sport of sorts much like young canines chasing a squirrel or something up a tree there also seemed to be an extra element of intelligence as It sounds like they'd flanked her position initially I mentioned that she might want to talk to Vic kundi or someone that has more experience talking to people about these kinds of things so far she's been tooo upset and too scared to really tell people about it so she's been telling people that some wolves chased her

down the trail and that she had escaped by climbing a tree completely leaving out the part About them climbing up at her and I assured her that these types of encounters actually did happen and more often than not they typically ended relatively well and that these Cryptids while territorial don't seem particularly violent towards humans though we certainly can't roll that out as a possibility The Werewolf of Fresno from AOS it was around 3:00 a.m. that night My sister my friend and I were heading down Southern California to visit my sister in Orange County my friend

sat on the passenger side my sister in the back seat we stopped at a gas station in Fresno before heading out after leaving leing this gas station we started our way down Southern California but it didn't take long for us to have to stop on our trip I hadn't even left the town yet I was driving and right before I passed the railroad tracks something Caught my eye I turned to look at it and I busted a U-turn driving back to see what was there I turned into the block and locked the doors rolling down

a window just a bit all I could really hear was the sound of of all the dogs in the neighborhood barking seemed like all the dogs out there were going crazy my sister yelled from the back seat what are you doing why'd you turn around shh I'm listening I replied what's going On I then turned the car around and drove off my sister then said what was that all about I thought I saw something looked kind of like a dog but not you must be freaking joking no I'm serious I saw something and it didn't

look right while I'm explaining this to my sister my friend who was on the passenger side turned to me with his hand on his chest saying Jesus I thought I was the only one that saw that I then asked what did you see well I saw the same thing something that didn't look like a a dog exactly wait did what you see have legs like a person was on all fours and from the waist up looked like a wolf yeah that's exactly what I saw I told this story many times to people I trust to

know they say it's fake but I know what I saw that night the beast in the snow from Curtis S location Northwest Arkansas Ozark Mountains this Story begins like a lot of others it's a tale of me and my high school buddies for privacy reasons we'll use their gamer tags from back then the actual location of this tale will not be given it happened back in late 2006 early 2007 when one of the largest snow storms hit Northwest Arkansas we had 32 in of snow and 5 in of ice bearing down on us there were

over 85 fatalities from the storm alone And over 500,000 people without power it was very cold and very wet but as many teenage boys do we got bored and we all got together deciding to go a check around to see if we could help people stuck in the snow we checked on everyone's family amilies that we knew to see if there was anything we could do to help after some time of this and helping a few people out of the ditches we again got bored and decided to go and check on G Dilly's father as

their house Was not in the greatest shape his dad was kind of a lonely hermit we sat down and talked with him for a while he would kind of remind you of Deckard Cain from the Diablo games it was always a sit down and stay a while kind of thing it was never a fast last visit for us boys however after a few hours of talking dark started to set in the temperature started dropping even more and as I said earlier most people were Without power it was very dark the town looked like something out

of an apocalyptic movie all but abandoned we tried to get out of the driveway to no avail after 30 to 45 minutes of trying we decided that it was best we stay there for the night I called home to tell my family we were staying there as the night went on we started to go stir crazy just sitting around and doing nothing so Timbo and I decided to Go outside for a smoke as Advent and G Dilly stayed inside as we smoked we talked the other two into going down to a place where we all

hunted and camped now mind you we all grew up around here Timbo and I had the most Outdoors experience we were very Avid hunters and fishermen we loved to go camping Advent and G Dilly however were more of the inside gamer type but they still knew their way Around the woods we grabbed our rifles and a shotgun from the truck and we headed off we passed one of our mini camping spots we used that was on G Dilly's land as we walked into the dark and cold through the very thick Woods past G Dilly's house

house things started to feel off to us it felt like we were being watched the whole you're now the prey feeling starting to set in we chocked it up to the bitter cold we Continued farther into the woods looking back on it now we probably should have turned around not knowing what dangers awaited Us in those woods that night as we passed our old most-used campsite we started to get into Uncharted Territory that was the goal though to test ourselves against Mother Nature we kept pushing on through the snow and roaring freezing Winds we went

into the pitch black darkness as we walked out of nowhere we heard the sound of a breaking Branch we spun around to nothing but darkness and a low guttural growl the sound made the hair on our necks stand straight up and we felt it in our very cores this was no longer an adventure but survival we quickened our Pace but to no avail we ended up falling down a steep Deep gorge we tumbled all the way to the very bottom of the gorge must have been around 40 ft after that we picked ourselves up collecting

ourselves and our belongings we looked up then and we saw something moving around at the top of the hill above us it was was a big dark figure moving from tree to tree as it moved around we noticed that sometimes it moved on four legs and at other times it only moved on Two we all decided that we were now at a disadvantage to whatever figure was above us on the top of the hill at that point with all of us being cold tired and hurting from the fall we decided to find somewhere to set

up camp we walked a little ways Down The Gorge and found a riverbed we decided to set up camp there there was a 4T drop there we laid Fallen trees over the top of the riverbed we then gathered up Evergreens and snow and Put that on top of the Fallen trees we placed our fire a couple of feet outside of our shelter in the riverbed we thought that if we built a fire it may help to scare away whatever figure it was we'd seen and we probably stood a better chance with the light from the

fire we then sat around the fire for a while we thought everything had calmed down then Timbo and I sat inside the shelter Advent and G Dilly sat on opposite sides Of the riverbed by the shelter we were all still on edge from what we saw we talked about it all at one point I got up to relieve myself Timbo decided to get up and add more wood to the fire I had my back turned away from all of them suddenly Timbo was startled by a possum which had jumped over the wood pile he shot

at it and killed it as The Gunshot rang out it startled the rest of us after we realized what happened we started cracking jokes at Timbo calling Him the great white Hunter and possum Slayer then we saw it it was watching us from the distance our laughter quickly faded away to fear the boys noticing me staring off behind them them they turned around to face the creature we were face to face with its big red eyes the thing crouched down by a tree still easily 5T tall it had a large body and a long canine

like face it had huge long razor sharp teeth too at that very moment it seemed like Time Stood Still seconds felt like hours total fear hit us all this creature stood up fully towering over us it was well over 7 ft tall I shouldered my rifle as a roar that seemed to shake the Earth filled the air I fired my 303 hitting it in the chest timbo's 30 out3 hit its Center Mass there was no way this creature could have survived this as the air settled and cleared we thought we were about to see this

thing lying on the ground but there was Nothing but some deep red stains in the ground and tracks leading away from us we followed those tracks into the darkness adrenaline coursing through our veins we chased it not sure if it was from fear or shock the idea of it going after someone else or one of us when we weren't prepared made me paranoid to this very day I don't know what made us go after it for sure but we did we went through Hills and Gorges following these tracks and red stains I figured at any

Moment the monster was going to come lunging out at us as we pushed through the bone chilling cold we soon realized we were making one big circle so did that mean it was circling back to us we really had only one choice we knew we were never going to catch this thing in this terrain and there was no open ground for miles and if it was coming back for us our best option was to dig in and prepare to fight we put our our backs together eyes in every direction Using the snow and trees for

cover we waited and waited listening for any sound looking for any sign of movement but it never came we stayed quiet as much as we all wanted to talk right before the morning sun Shone in the sky we did suddenly hear one long high-pitched howl which seemed close like it was just around the next bend it was like it was telling us we might have won that Skirmish but the battle had yet to Come maybe it was just the sound of defeat we'll never really know as the sound faded off into the mountains we all

sat there in disbelief until the sun was fully in the sky then we stumbled onto an Old Road and made our way back to G Dilly's house we were still not fully believing what happened that night everyone made a full recovery from the fall but we never did really get over what we saw on occasion we do talk about it together But this will be the first time any of us have shared the story to the outside world we often wonder what ever happened to the creature where did it go were we the only ones

out there to see it Why didn't it finish its hunt we may never know might have to get the boys back together at some point go back down there someday and see what happens I honestly think the only reason we're still alive has nothing to do with skill or being brave I feel like it was Pure luck I look at the woods in a different light and I watch and listen to everything I've taught my kids to always expect the unexpected and just because it's not in our history books doesn't mean it's not out there

or it doesn't exist I know what I saw and my friends know what they saw my warning to you is to be careful in the forest always pay attention never get complacent even if it's the woods You know like the back of your hand it doesn't hurt to always be prepared for anything I almost didn't make it out from Pleasant peasant it was late about 9:30 p.m. I'm part of a school soccer team and that night we were playing in the outskirts of a poorer area near New Brown Falls Texas we had just flattened the

other team 4 to zero in my excitement I decided that I was going to get some celebratory Waterburger I called a location nearby ordered and hung up the phone I started to drive there the road leading to the waterburger contained some of the most sketchy looking houses I'd ever seen one of these houses was backed up to the soccer field and just a a few hours earlier I joked to my friends that that house was definitely haunted I wish I'd taken a picture the place was terrifying as I passed the house something that looked like

a person Sprinted out of the woods on the other side of the road I was so startled it caused me to Swerve but I still hit the dude I was so scared that I just seriously injured someone all my red flags were going off I jumped out of my car and ran to where the guy lay in the road but he was already getting up as I stepped closer I realized what I hit was not a person no this thing whatever it was was about 7et tall and looked as if it had already gotten into

a severe Accident before me I could see its arm pop back into place with a loud snap from where it had landed all wrong I muttered what the heck under my breath then I heard it what the heck it repeated what I said back to me in a strange voice that sounded almost like my own as it turned around it gave me this smile the only thing I wanted to do then was run and luckily it didn't look like this Thing could run very well at the moment with its legs all twisted as I turned

to get away I heard more snapping bones and I saw something jump over me landing on the roof of my car I changed directions to my left sprinting towards that creepy house I mentioned earlier the windows appeared to be boarded up but there was a light on inside I figured that if someone was in there they may have a gun or something I practically busted the door Down with my shoulder which was surprising because I'm only 5'8 and can't bench more than 140 lb the door must have been old and weak as I stepped into

the entryway screaming for help I noticed how empty smelly and dirty it was in the living room to my right was a giant mess of hair old blankets and destroyed cardboard boxes oh God I just walked into its Lair I thought I looked to my left there were Random bones scattered about that I prayed were just animal bones I wiped my mouth and continued running upstairs STS just as I turned into The Upstairs Hall I heard something Screech banging on the outside walls before long I could hear it coming up the stairs grabbing an old

metal chair I banged it against a window breaking the glass just as I heard the sound of footsteps rapidly approaching me I pulled myself out of the window and as I dropped to the ground something Clawed against my forearm just below my elbow I hit the ground then sprinting from my car with the door still open and the key still inside I jumped in closing the door and hitting the gas I was out of there a few minutes of driving later my arm began to sting I pulled into the parking lot of the Water Burger

I looked at my arm and noticed how much blood was there I covered it with my sweatshirt so my mom wouldn't freak out and I hurried home I ate my dinner in my room and After I showered I cleaned everything up it did end up scarring all in all I was lucky if that door hadn't opened if the glass window hadn't broke if I was a half second slower I could have died nowadays I only ride home from soccer on the bus with the Freshman out of fear of seeing it [Music] again it ran after

us from Mary had a little Lamb this happened exactly 2 years ago my Grandma had broken her leg fractured her femur in two places more specifically and got surgery a few days later she was sent home and was bedridden for about 3 months at the time she was prescribed injectable treatment and we would drive there every day so I could give her the injection my dad worked until late in the evening so we'd always get there between 7 and 900 p.m. and we'd leave Around 11:00 p.m. it was a lovely winter night back then the

electricity poles and some houses were decorated with Christmas lights and the air smelled like holiday the sky was so clear you could read all the constellations above you we live in the Romanian Countryside our house and my grandma's house on opposite sides of a forest I grew up there so I never found the forest scary ever since I was around 7 years Old I would spend most of my days there I picked mushrooms in the spring gathered herbs and flowers in the summer looked for chestnuts in the Autumn and made snowmen in the winter I

always carried around a wooden bow and arrows Handmade by my grandpa all the Rangers knew me they gave me sweets offered to take me home in their car and gave me advice on how to act in case I came face to face with a wolf or a Bear one of them taught me how to hunt rabbits I let them go though after I cuddled them and they even drew me a Target on a piece of cardboard so I could practice my shots the forest was always kind to me the real evil was in the village

that December night sealed it my mom wanted to come with us to cook something fresh for Grandma and clean the house we ended up end up finishing everything very late so we got in the Car waited for it to warm up then left I remember checking the car watch and thermometer 1:24 a.m. 11° C my dad was telling a story about a guy at work forgetting the water on in the director's bathroom then trying to vacuum it away he electrocuted both himself and the director my mother made a bad Romanian pun and we were all

laughing the street lights on this side of the village were off it happened some sometimes since They would randomly pick areas and turn them off to save energy I was looking outside the window at the houses the one I set my eyes on was vacant the elderly couple there had died and all the children were living abroad now that's a very common thing here now because we were on top of a hill my dad slowed down to change gears so I got to see it bottom to top on its roof was a big white Form

at first I thought it was the chimney covered in snow but then I saw its glowing eyes from its profile it rose up on two legs it had the head of a wolf with beautiful blue eyes and a big snout ending with a wet nose and its feet were curved the way a dogs would be but they ended with big human feet not pause my first thought was wow that's a pretty animal surrounded by the sparkling snow with its fur reflecting The Moonlight it was actually gorgeous my fantasy was shattered when it bared its teeth

at me and slid down from the roof in the middle of the road now slowly walking behind our car my parents were busy talking about something mundane I was staring at it through the rear view mirror color draining from my face slowly my nails white as I was gripping my sleeve I'm not a religious person but at that very moment I was praying please Don't let it get us please not now not with my parents please make it go away my dad happened to check the mirror on his side and his expression went blank then

his head shot towards me stop looking at it he said calmly and reached back to lock the door on my mom's side then his I did the same first the one in the back second the one on my side my father was catching more and more speed that thing was definitely after us getting closer And closer until we heard a loud thump above us suddenly it landed in front of our car My Mother's Eyes went up from her phone and she screamed careful dog my dad turned on the long range lights and evaded it then

sped up as much as the car could take I was still praying please don't let it follow us please my whole body trembled while I checked if it was still behind us it Wasn't it remained in that spot until we took a turn and disappeared in the darkness our house is almost 10 km away from where we ENC counted it I looked around to see if it was safe to get out then I got out to open the gates as my dad was pulling into the driveway my dog jumped on me licking my fingers and

covering my jacket in snow I was locking up everything for the night I looked up at the hill in front of our house then there it was at the Base of the forest fur wider than the snow eyes glowing in curiosity it was looking at me I felt like it was at least it turned around and left for the tree line it knows where we live but it never visited I don't know if I should be happy or sad my parents hope to never see it again as for myself a glance would be enough after

all it was one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen I'm rushing to write this I'm going To visit my grandmother again soon and I drive by myself now werewolf of the Grand Canyon from reys earther I still remember how excited I was when I got picked for that Wildlife research project in the Grand Canyon a few years back I had just finished my biology degree so getting hands-on experience tracking coyotes seemed seemed like an amazing opportunity my two teammates Eric and Wendy felt the same way we were all eager science nerds ready for

adventure when we arrived in Arizona and met our park ranger guide he warned us that spending 2 weeks camping deep in the canyon wasn't for the faint of heart the remoteness meant we'd be on our own if any emergencies happened to come up but we assured him we were up to the task we set off on the long track down lugg all our camping gear and research equipment on the first evening we found A secluded site off the main trails to set up our base camp it took over an hour to get the tents pitched

and our supplies organized as dusk fell over the canyon walls surrounding us we were all tired from the hike in so after a quick dinner we turned in early the night was calm and surprisingly quiet just the occasional hoot of an owl or rustle in the bushes nothing alarming I remember falling asleep fast worn out from the day's Exertions sometime later I woke up to strange noises right outside my tent at first I thought it was just a raccoon or coyote sniffing around our food bags but when I quietly peaked out the tent flap I

couldn't see any animals the Moonlight only revealed the rocky Canyon terrain the grunting and odd sniffing sounds faded away so I assumed it was nothing I settled back down and quickly dozed off again I was startled awake again later That night by the sound of heavy footsteps tramping around the campsite the crunching gravel and twigs snapping Under Foot were unmistakable I quickly UNS sipped the tent flap again peering outside in the dim Moonlight I couldn't see anything but the footsteps continued pacing in a circle around us I woke up Eric and wind to make sure

they heard it too there's something big walking around out there I whispered loudly Eric mumbled it was probably just A curious coyote wandering near the food bags as I had previously suspected the footsteps did sound too loud and heavy for a coyote though we all stayed silent listening to whatever was outside methodically making its way around the tent the footsteps halted right out side then we heard loud sniffing like some huge animal inhaling and catching our scents I don't think a coyote would be so bold I was frozen wondering if I Should yell to scare

it off suddenly a low guttural growl rumbled just outside the tent fabric it sounded like a bear's growl but deeper more throaty we all exchanged panicked looks in the darkness this was definitely no coyote I stumbled to grab my flashlight while Wendy found the Bears spray as I fumbled to turn on the flashlight something heavy pressed against the ENT sharp claws began to violently scratch At the fabric right near my face shredding holes in the nylon I fell backwards in Terror we yelled at the top of our lungs hoping to startle whatever Beast was attacking

our shelter the scratching ceased as our shouts echoed off the canyon walls but before we could sigh in relief the entire tent started to shake violently something was grabbing the roof now thrashing it back and forth with Incredible Force Eric Wendy and I screamed as loud as we could pointing our flashlights all over the place suddenly the assault stopped and in the flashlight beams we saw a large shadowy figure scampering away from the mangled tin entrance my my hands trembled uncontrollably as the three of us scanned our surroundings with the lights but the beams of

light only caught empty terrain whatever had stalked our camp was gone as quickly as it came we Huddled together listening intently for any sign it had returned but the night was silent once again none of us dared leave the shredded tent to investigate further exhausted and horrified we eventually fell into a fitful sleep again in hoping the creature was gone for good but the next morning would bring a whole new level of fear and confusion when morning sunlight finally filtered into the ravaged ENT we debated whether we should step outside to assess The damage that

thing could still be lurking nearby waiting for us to emerge but we knew we couldn't hide in the tent Forever After hearing no sounds for several minutes I slowly unzipped the flap rather what was left of it the three of us cautiously stepped out together bear spray and flashlights raised we swept through the campsite bathed in harsh Morning Light searching for any sign of that Creature the camp area looked utterly trampled with torn up dirt scattered equipment and scratches gouged into the ground large unfamiliar prints we couldn't identify marred the landscape but we saw no

beast in sight the area rre of a strange musky odor that I couldn't Place whatever had attacked us was massive and Powerful definitely no coyote and probably not a mountain lion Eric wanted to just pack up and Hike back to the rim immediately But the researcher in me needed to examine the prints and damage while it was all still fresh what exactly had we heard and seen in the dark Wendy offered to stand watch with the bear spray while Eric and and I followed the prince they LED right up to my mangled tint entrance before

disappearing into the bushes I paused there shining my light on the flattened brush something caught my eye several clumps of thick grayish hair snagged on The shrub stems without a word I pointed at the hair meeting Eric's equally alarmed gaze we clicked off our flashlights as the sun climbed higher into the sky we then backtracked out of the brush deciding we'd seen enough the campsite needed to be vacated now I couldn't believe we'd come face to face with something so enormous and strong and unknown a coyote or cougar just did not match the havoc and

prints we'd found the footprints didn't resemble a Bears either all I knew for certain was that we needed to get out of the canyon the sun continued to rise over the Canyon Rim but we already had our backpacks loaded up to hike out none of us felt safe staying another second as we rapidly took down what remained of the ravaged campsite the surrounding Wilderness remained eerily silent no bird calls or scampering Wildlife sounds that you'd normally expect at dawn just tense and heavy Quiet once we were all set we cautiously followed the bizarre tracks back

into the woods attempting to Glimpse where the creature had gone but the jumbled Prince disappeared just 20 yards in with no trace of our nighttime stalker had it left the area or was it camouflaged and waiting unseen in the shadows we couldn't shake the feeling its eyes still followed us despite no evidence of it nearby I nervously eyed each shrub and Thicket as we hastened through the brush my imagination conjured up the Beast crouching behind every Rock and tree but there was nothing there when I looked though we found no other trace of it so

far we still needed to leave sure it sucked not knowing where our stalker might be but we didn't really have another choice we swiftly headed back up Canyon away from the creatures domain or so we thought miles of strenuous hiking passed intense silence no one wanted to Acknowledge just how close we'd come to being torn apart in our sleep I kept glancing back behind us certain each rustling Bush or scurrying lizard was our pursuer returning but the canyon remained empty and still finally we emerged sweat soaked and exhausted back at the populated Canyon Rim where

we'd started as we gave statements to the puzzled Rangers I noticed Eric and Wendy avoiding mentions of anything besides a rogue bear Harassing us maybe they thought it sounded insane maybe they feared we'd be ridiculed but I just couldn't shake the certainty that we'd escaped something frightening something unknown in those Canyon woods and if there was a next time we might not get away and scathed back at our Arizona motel that evening I still felt rattled and unnerved Eric and Wendy seemed ready to forget the whole ordeal and enjoy the Hotel amenities but I couldn't

get the Image of that giant creature out of my mind we'd escaped something extraordinary so I pressed the park rangers around there for any other reports of something by pedal and wolflike roaming the inner Canyon but they laughed it off must have been a curious bear they insisted part of me wondered if they knew more than they let on perhaps they ignored the weird and frightening in their park but mostly the Rangers seemed Oblivious with no definitive explanation from the experts I turned to the internet to research what we might have seen massive prints gray

hair heavy musky smell and hunched by pedal movement these sounded like traits ascribed to Mythic creatures like werewolves or dog men I dove deep into the old Native American legends about Skin Walkers that supposedly still lurked in remote areas but were they real the logical part of my mind Resisted belief in paranormal creatures stalking moonlit forests but when I recalled that trembling Shadow receding from our flashlight beams my logic failed something had been watching us something that walked on two legs and left Prince no coyote could its yellow eyes were seared into my memory in

the following weeks the questions nod at me even as we wrote Our sober scientific reports omitting that fateful night had some local Legend come To life under the full moon was there any validity to the tales of beasts lurking in overlooked places in the wild I'm not sure if we truly stumbled on a monster or just an odd wolf of some sort but I'll never set foot in those Grand Canyon woods again that's for sure whatever roamed there wasn't meant to be seen by human eyes our flashlights might be the only things that saved us

that night Ozark werewolf from Barner 2424 my buddy Rick and I try to take a guy's camping trip to the Ozarks every Autumn we've been doing these trips since high school to fish hike and hunt a few years back we planned a 3-day weekend camping Excursion in early November as always we spent the week leading up packing supplies tents sleeping bags cooler non- perishable food rifles ammo we preferred camping Deep In the Backwoods away from other people because it made us feel as if we Had the Wilderness to ourselves we left on a Friday morning

driving several hours to reach the remote Forest Area we had scoped out on maps weeks before we turned off the main roads onto narrow dirt paths rarely traveled except by loggers eventually we reached the overgrown Trail hat leading to the secluded spot by a creek we aimed to camp at we hiked through dense brush and Forest for over an hour before reaching The clearing we had chosen as our campsite the place was perfect flat ground pit the tents Fallen logs to sit on the gentle babbling of a nearby Creek in which we could fish we

quickly got to work unloading the truck and setting up camp soon we had a roaring fire going and we cracked open a couple of cold ones to toast the start of our weekend we grilled up some steaks beans and potatoes as the sun went down we were Feeling relaxed and optimistic about the days of solitude ahead just us two old old friends in the wilderness making new memories as night fell we occasionally heard distant coyotes howling and owls hooting but then came these cries that echoed through the darkness which sounded unlike anything I'd ever heard

before they were like a painful wailing or Screaming Rick and I joked nervously that it must be a skinwalker coming for Us clueless City Boys little did I know our jokes might hit a little too close to reality the next morning Rick and I gulped down some coffee we geared up for a full day of hunting the dawn in the forest was Serene Mist Rising off the creek nearby and birds chirping in the trees we hiked over a ridge finding a spot with signs of deer activity to set up after a couple of hours passed

with no sightings the Stillness of the Woods Began to feel eerie usually we'd have seen some squirrels birds or deer by now but the forest was oddly silent like all its inhabitants had vanished something feel off to you I asked Rick he nodded brow furrowed we stayed a while longer but eventually we gave up heading back to Camp empty-handed along the way we discovered strange huge tracks on the trail they didn't look like any animal we knew kind Of canine like but oddly shaped a chill went down my spine imagining what could have left those

prints we decided to call it an early night anticipating better luck hunting in the morning but sleep eluded me I kept thinking about those weird cries we'd heard the night before which sounded so tormented and inhuman sometime deep in the night I awoke to the snuffling and crackling of something Rooting around just outside my tent I lay paralyzed listening to heavy breaths and twigs snapping underf foot my blood turned to ice when I glanced through the mesh window and saw two glowing eyes peering back at me from the dark I yelled out to Rick there's

something out there the eyes vanished as quickly as they had appeared we sat huddled together in Rick's tent rifles clutched tight waiting for Dawn both of us were shaken by the undeniable sense that we were being watched from the Shadows at Daybreak we hastily packed up camp skipping breakfast this spot didn't seem so idolic anymore Rick and I agreed we could not wait to get the Hat out of these Woods the two of us hiked back out the way we'd came in moving at a Brisk Pace the sooner we were back in the Safety of

the truck the better we just had to get around a ridge through a narrow Valley then uphill to the trail head halfway through the valley We Came Upon a huge Fallen Oak blocking the path ahead odd that a healthy tree had so recently toppled we'd stopped just a moment seconds away from deciding to just climb over it when we heard a snap of a branch from right behind us we spun around rifles raised there lurking between the trees Was something so bizarre a hulking hairy creature crouched on two legs staring back at us it had

a wolf-like face but stood over 7 ft tall its muscular frame covered in grayish brown fur a low rumbling growl emanated from its throat Rick and I stood Frozen in shock and Terror the thing made no move to attack but its penetrating yellow eyes watched us Intently when I finally mustered the nerve to fire a warning shot near its feet the Beast didn't even Flinch instead I saw it bear its fangs and take a step towards us that's when the the chaos really began Rick tried firing too but his gun jammed the creature then let

out a bone chilling snarl and suddenly lunged in our Direction the two of us screamed and reeled backwards toppling over the fallen tree I landed hard on my back the Wind knocked out of me peering upside down from the ground I glimpsed the beast's long Jagged Claws and muscular hind legs as it briefly towered over over us but in the next instant it had vanished back into the underbrush we staggered to our feet gasping for air Minds blank with Primal Panic without a word Rick and I began to Sprint back up the trail driven by

sheer animal instinct to survive we didn't speak didn't plan only Knew we had to make it out of these cursed Woods before that thing came back to finish us off we sprinted through the forest Delirious with fear the trail seemed to stretch on forever no matter how hard we pushed our aching legs the parking lot never got closer glancing behind us I'd catch glimpses of that hulking thing paralleling our path easily keeping Pace with us it would duck behind trees or into the brush flashing in and out of View I think it was toying with

us like a cat letting the mice think they could Escape before going in for the kill at one point I tripped on a route and face planted into the mud as I staggered up I came face to face with the Beast who had soundlessly crept up behind me its breath was hot and it rre of rotting meat we locked eyes for a split second before it bared its fangs snarled and vanished again into the Shadows this told me it could have Killed me at any point if it wanted to I don't know how but Rick

and I finally stumbled out of the woods and back to the pickup we floored down that dirt road like two Mad Men Wreckless and panting not stopping until we reached the highway only then did we trade horrified accounts of what we had just seen a living nightmare we could scarcely believe we agreed not to tell a soul what happened who would believe us Anyway this thing was no ordinary animal we'd encountered something unnatural something evil in that Forest neither of us had ever been more terrified or felt so powerless in the months after I scoured

the internet looking for clues about what we saw some crypted forums suggest it could have been a dog man or a woman W like creature they call the Ozark howler all I know for sure is we stumbled into the hunting grounds of a Monster one that's likely still roaming the remote Wilderness of the Ozarks no one will ever convince me otherwise I'll never set foot in those godforsaken woods again dog man stole my fish from rainbow trout 55 Wyoming the least populated US state nonetheless one of the most beautiful and drastic Landscapes from Rolling Hills

and Sagebrush to thick forests with mountains rivers and streams that's Where I call home I grew up on my family's Ranch outside of Cody a little bit about myself I'm 6'4 and 220 lb close family calls me farm boy because of my size I take that as a compliment after all Luke Skywalker from Star Wars was called Farm Boy and Luke is amazing so take that Grandpa my favorite hobby is fly fishing nothing is more exhilarating than watching your fly get swallowed by a trout Wyoming in fact is world class and Known for fly fishing

my favorite River to fish is the Snake River it's a little bit of a drive to get to my favorite spot but it's worth it my terrifying encounter happened back in 2013 I was 19 at the time it was in late summer July to be exact around 3:00 in the afternoon trust me I remember after this incident to get to my spot you have to take a dirt road 3 miles inward then you Get to this little pull off and you park then you have to walk about half a mile more into the woods to

be honest I have no clue how my dad found the spot but let me tell you it's loaded with rainbows you come out of the woods onto this Shore and there's the river it's about 30 ft wide and on the far side is fastish moving water there are many slow and deep pools towards my side that are perfect for fish for those of you who are new to fishing these slower moving Pools are where fish like to hang out because they're being lazy and are basically waiting for food Upstream to drift Downstream right to them

for an easy meal since it was 3: in the afternoon it was pretty warm outside so I didn't put on my waiters and I walked right into the nice cool water I then started to cast I had my fishing glasses on so that the glare wasn't as bad on the water here's where things start to get wacky I' had been fishing this strip of the river for about 45 minutes when I cast again all of a sudden I heard a tree fall from the other side of the river with a loud crash it scared the

beesus out of me as I was that focused on the river the river isn't as loud because at this section the water isn't moving as fast so keep that in mind I looked in the direction of that crash and there I saw it a jet blackhaired animal slowly walking down to the river at first Glance I thought it was a black bear but after further inspection I realized it wasn't a bear but a large black dog another thought came to mind as I thought it was a Yellowstone black wolf but again I rolled that out

because the size was too big then it really came into view and my mind went blank it came out of the trees onto the far bank and stopped it looked at me it had the most beautiful yet horrifying Amber eyes that stared into me it had a wolflike head With sharp teeth it was very wellb built very defined through its fur it had skinnier legs but they were dog legs and still defined its arms were linky and had hands that ended in sharp claws that was the scariest part I even remember taking off my glasses

and rubbing my eyes to see if I was looking at a real thing the wackiest part was that it walked and just sat patiently on the Opposite Bank just like a house dog watching me fish curiously I was so astonished and confused I forgot my line was in the water then its ears perked up as a giant trout took my fly with a splash it looked at me then at the line then at me then the line again as if waiting for me to do something I'm not sure why I didn't just run I don't

know why I didn't feel threatened at the moment but that Dogman Thing just sat there watching me curiously it didn't seem to mean any harm I quickly Reed in that fish it was huge I grabbed the fish and unhooked the fly I was about to release it when the dog man growled a deep growl it's hard to describe with words I froze as I saw it stand up on two legs and start to Wade through the water towards me like some person I started to quickly move to my side of the shore when it did

a short but loud Grunt and pointed its Claw at The fish in my hand hand there were so many thoughts going through my head that I quickly ran out of the water and onto the shore dropping the fish on the ground I backed away towards the forest my hands up I even remember saying it's all yours like four times the dog man crossed the river it went to my now flopping fish and picked it up with one hand it looked at me like really dude you got my food dirty it then put its claw through

the The fish's Gill and out the mouth just like a person would do it went back into the river with the fish now hooked in its claw it put it in the water and moved it back and forth it was washing it off it then put it into its mouth and got back onto all fours crossing the river again it looked back at me one more time taking the fish out of its mouth and giving it a little wiggle taunting me as it then ran back into the Woods I sprinted to my truck threw my

gear in the trunk and sped home I got pulled over unfortunately and told the officer everything and he let me go with a warning seeing I was in a panicked State I told my family they were astonished but they ultimately believed me this hands down has been the craziest most unnatural thing that has ever happened to me I still go fly fishing but I've never and will never go back to that spot remember that some in this World are unnatural and you never know what might happen werewolf of Lake Monroe from Danny Joe my brother

and I went on a fishing trip to Monroe Lake in Indiana we've been there hundreds of times and we've been all over the place we left on a Friday morning and got there Friday late afternoon we brought a johnb boat and some Basic Essentials like a tent my gun and some Firewood we didn't bring much food we thought we would just eat fish and some small game if needed we loaded everything into the boat and took off before it got dark the only lights we had were the ones on the boat and a small flashlight

after being on the water for about an hour we found a small Cove perfect for us because it was out in the middle of nowhere so we could do anything we really Wanted we unloaded the boat and set up camp my brother got a fire going and I started to fish because I was hungry after a few minutes I realized there were no sounds at all from any directions not even crickets and I wasn't getting any hits whatsoever on my fishing rig I gave up and started walking back to the camp which was set up

about 20 yard from the boat when I got back to my brother I asked him if he noticed the lack of nature sounds and he Replied no didn't pay much attention to it and then we heard it a loud howl that sounded like it was about a mile away it sent chills down my spine my brother began to shake I was like what the heck are we doing we're both grown men it was probably just a coyote he agreed with a nod and we both decided to lay down in the tent calling it a night

but I got my gun out just to be safe because that was really close the next morning we woke woke up And got the day started we thought we'd go and see if we could find the footprint or scat trail from the coyote we heard last night we ventured about half a mile into the woods from our camp before long we found something a very large and very dead coyote which had been ripped apart it was only 2 ft off the game Trail my brother was very interested in what could do this but I was

more interested in going back to camp we got Back back to camp and I went to my phone to text my dad I asked what sort of big predators could take a coyote and do that to him especially out here in Indiana my dad replied can't think of anything more than a cougar but that's unlikely I figured it may have been another coyote fighting for territory we decided to only stay one more night neither of us wanted to find this bigger coyoty so we went out on the boat for a While to go fishing we'd

had no luck in that coat we made it to this rock face that we called our crappie honey hole because we always caught crappie there we started fishing and didn't stop until the sun began to set we were both hungry and so we called it a good day and started to head back to camp this little boat didn't go very fast but it was better than a canoe or kayak by the time we got back to Camp it Was dark and the moon was high it was very quiet again so we slid the boat on

the bank and made our way way to try to start a fire in the fire pit to cook some of our catch but we soon discovered that our campsite looked like a war zone everything was torn up thrown around like someone was looking for something or somebody we both grabbed our guns and took the safeties off then looked at each other with the same expression time to Go we didn't even grab anything just as we started making our way to the boat we heard it deep and gurgl growl out in the distance as we got

to the boat my brother grabbed a flashlight he pointed it towards the camp like that we both stopped terrified trembling all over the light revealed two big yellow eyes about 5 ft off the ground I started backing up my brother jumped in the boat and started the motor I followed him but I didn't want to take My eyes off whatever this thing was as as I climbed in the boat I looked away for just a second when I looked back up it was gone we got about 20 yards out into the water and I used

the light again to look for that creature then I saw those same eyes coming out of the darkness they began to come to the edge of the water this thing looked like a wolf but not exactly it walked over to the water on all fours but once there it stood up on two legs it reached a height Of over 6 ft feet we then heard it howl I pointed the flashlight right at it then it looked as if it had a piece of our tent clutched in its hand or paw I moved my brother out

of the way I put the throttle on high even though the part of the lake we were at was Idle Zone only but we had to leave as quickly as we could we got back to the boat ramp area and we got the boat loaded on the trailer then we booked it we didn't talk one bit all the way Home and we never said anything to mom or dad though I'm sure they were wondering where the heck our tent and cooler went I'm in my 30s now I haven't been back to Monroe Lake since to

be honest I'm scared to and I warn people who are going there to be very careful werewolf by the pond from guppy's garden I'm a 21-year-old woman who lives in a Log cabin down a deadend road in the middle of the countryside I've lived here my entire life so this life is what I know best I have about three neighbors this is important as it will take place around my closest neighbor's property I wanted to tell this story because this neighbor has since passed she was a Spitfire Italian woman who drank beer and ate raw

garlic with every meal meal she passed at the Ry old age Of 98 and was the kindest and toughest Soul you'd ever meet for context I live in Southern Illinois close to the border of Missouri and Kentucky so you can gauge the landscape I'm surrounded by you've probably guessed but I'm bordered in by a large cornfield to my back and miles of wood spanning into the next town over I've always enjoyed the scenery around me it feels tranquil most of the time however this is the countryside there's Bound to be weird occurrences every now and

again one thing I can say confidently is that I have absolutely no explanation for what happened to me when I was 16 I'll preface this by saying I faced many larger animals one time I was within 10 ft of a black bear in Tennessee there was even one known to have broken free from a traveling train circus that ran through the area the old train tracks and Shack are still in the Woods just a mile from my house the Bobcats I chased out of my driveway are no threat same with the coyotes that yelped outside

my window most nights even the cougar that my dad had to shoot at to scare it off the property when I was younger wasn't nearly as scary as this thing which I so clearly encountered to paint you a picture leading up to the that day I'll start with what I heard a few days Prior it was the weekend I remember this because usually my dad would not ask me to drive after dark most of us don't here due to the volume of deer and lack of Street lamps and especially if I had school the next

day I had to drive him to the store and still have to because he has a condition where he cannot drive himself I'd begged him to make his famous chili and he agreed to make it later in the week if he had the Groceries when we arrived home the sun had just set and as I was grabbing the last few bags out of the trunk I heard it this was not a coyote I've heard every sound they make yelping crying howling fighting whatever it may be but I can tell this howl I heard it was

a singular howl and it was very deep but worst of all it was close it came from the cornfield behind my house which starts around 30 ft from Where I Stood I shot my head up and looked at my Dad he was wide-eyed a man who I know to not be afraid of dang near anything but now he had an expression of pure Terror on his face he turned to me and almost ripped the door off its hinges whisper yelling at me to run inside now that night we both sat in the living room in

silence he even changed the TV from his normal crypted centered shows to pwn star we tried to think if there could Somehow be wolves in the area passing through but came up with nothing we decided to call it a Koy wolf coyote and wolf hybrid and forget about it however we both knew there was no no chance it was this far south without being spotted somewhere either by hunters Farmers or in the towns but fear does Play Mind Games I will say I forgot about this for a few days I was focused on my exams

coming up in school at the time I Remember because I had to wake up earlier to go in and prepare for testing which is exactly what happened on my last testing day before winter break it was foggy that morning I was thinking of going out and feeding the chickens I pulled my blinds to look out at their Coupe and to see if their solar door had come up yet mind you the sunrise barely touched the tree stumps and the fog made it even darker out there I went to put on my coat and was Going

to see if the elderly neighbor I mentioned had fed her also very old dog I figured my barn cats also needed some breakfast so I headed outside before leaving for school after feeding and loving on my cats I headed for the chicken cop and as I walked around my dad's pole bar I saw it it was by my neighbor's pond at first I thought it was her or maybe her fishing gear or even her lawn mower I'm telling you every possible Option ran through my mind first until it began to move a stray dog would

be most plausible but what what stray dog is that huge it had to have been two beefy Irish Wolfhounds stacked on top of each other in a black fur suit otherwise it wouldn't make any sense I stopped dead in my tracks hiding behind a stack of wooden pallets behind the pole barn I've never been struck with this amount of fear before I didn't even have a weapon Nearby I felt myself Fade Out for a second before gaining the courage to look again hoping it had not made its way to me during that time I peaked

out again and I was very sure now of what I was looking at an extremely large wolf I'd grown up hearing locals talk about large black dogs sided in backyards and appearing on trail cams but never did I think I would see it in Person myself this thing was massive compared to to her brick sign with the pond name on it I was 5'4 my chin would be right at the top of the sign and the creature was easily almost at that height just with its shoulders the first part of it I could make out

was the higher hind legs its back came sloping down to slightly shorter front legs but bulky shoulders Its muscles were obvious through its fur this is still the visual ingrained into my memory to this very day I felt as if I was just waiting for it to turn towards me the Curiosity along with fear to identify the creature gnawed at my mind I was so pumped with adrenaline I wanted to run but I wanted to know for sure if it was truly there and not just in my head after all it was very early maybe

I was just tired I thought I started gaining my sense of reality back and realized my neighbor's dog had been barking the entire time this is a blind and deaf dog so he knew something smelled something was there I guess this was bothersome to that creature it started to turn back towards the deepest part of the woods it lifted its head and I saw it I Saw The Light back bounce off its eyes and wet nose I watched it lick its chops the fangs on this wolf made my heart sink it Could easily charge me

and if it did I would be done for in seconds fight or flight kicked in at that point and I hightailed it back to my room I sat on my floor staring out the window watching it become consumed by the trees I must have sat there waiting for almost an hour hour because before long my mom came to see if I was up for school I didn't tell her what I saw instead I asked her to check on my Neighbor with my dad later today of course she was confused by that request but she sent

me off to school with a promise that she would I came home early that day I ran into the house as fast as I could to be sure everyone was still there and alive I remember my dad having a strange look but he smiled at me after saying my neighbor was okay he got that strange look back again after my mom left the room and told me that there was a coyote Carcass by the pond I told him to point out my window at where exactly they found it he pointed perfectly to where I'd seen

that wolf creature I then explained everything I saw out of pure fear and he looked as if he already knew what I was talking about I became very paranoid about leaving doors or Windows unlocked checking the property at night when everyone was asleep and I even Researched late into the night about what else this could possibly have been but nothing added up eventually As Time passed I forgot about it for the most part I would only give a thought when dad's shows would mention wolf-like creatures I heard some variation of the same howl I'd heard

a couple of times after that in the passing months but I was just glad it sounded farther away until it finally Stopped of course I'm still a bit creeped out to go outside at night and I've been having recurring nightmares of this creature that I've deemed a werewolf some might say it can't be because it didn't stand up but I believe if it didn't feel eyes on it it most definitely would have this thing that was much bigger than a wolf I pushed it to the back of my mind for as long as I could

but eventually I wanted to share this experience instead Of holding it back trying to bury it deep down however out of fear of being called a liar it took me some time I've recently been having nightmares of werewolves nearly every night and I felt it was time to share at last I don't know if the creature will make its return but I'm hoping it stays far away warning the following story contains depictions of harm against animals appalachin creatures stalk my Family from eggy I'll start by stating the general area of where this all took place

and actually continues to take place I as well as generations of my family were born and raised in West Virginia right in the appalachin belt my grandmother has about 7 Acres on a mountain where we all ran wild as kids now as adults we sit at night around a bonfire enjoying the peaceful sounds however there comes a point in The night where the air grows heavy and Sinister around these times my grandmother's two large dogs even refuse to go off the porch to do their business we don't know what lurks in the surrounding Woods but

sometimes it makes itself known when my three aunts mother and three uncles were younger they did what all of us did as kids roamed those woods my grandmother's property has what we call a Spring House which is exactly How it sounds it's a concrete block structure that has a peaceful and fresh spring that runs right through it it was used before running water was put into the old farmhouse that sits at top the mountain overlooking the entire property at that point the Spring House had been worn down and the woods began to overtake it surrounding

it so that it was buried deep the weird thing about this Spring House was that the only opening set a Top of it so in order to even get into it you would have to drop down from the top as kids you weren't really afraid of much except at night it was apparently broad daylight when one of my aunts will call her in got the idea to do just that drop in when she dropped inside all seemed fine it was pitch dark but she could feel and hear the water around her she then began to

hear soft breathing she turned to one of the Corners of the Spring House there she saw an all white humanoid creature staring at her they were both stunned to see one another this thing had sickly white skin elongated Limbs and dark holes for facial features all at once fear pushed to the Forefront and she began to scream at my other Aunt Bee to pull her back up during the commotion her glasses slid off her face and hid into the water Below she could feel the thing moving around now and she screamed more one of my

uncles Kay yanked her out of the hole where she began running running towards the house her fear spurred the entire group and they all followed after her eventually she calmed down enough to tell them what she saw and they never went back to the Spring House again I'm not sure if she told my grandmother as my grandmother is quite religious and even to this day she Brushes off any paranormal experience we have at her place now the story doesn't end there in fact it's just getting started years later when my aunts and uncles were all

grown up with Children of their own the Spring House lured some of my cousins and sisters to it they had heard of the white creature down there but of course they didn't believe my aunts kids being kids they went through the woods until the spring house came Into view they planned to drop into it too my cousin dropped down first my sister lingered over the hole and stared down at her not dropping in just yet it took all of a few seconds before my cousin heard heavy breathing her fear immediately spiked but she didn't say

anything instead she turned toward the sound my aunt's long eroded glasses sat in the water beside the same all white elongated creature this time it did not hesitate It began to stretch out its limbs to move she scrambled up and out with the help of my sister and they too booked it back to the house they told my aunt and mother what happened they didn't deny the creatur's existence but instead consoled them as best they could warning them to stay away from the place when I eventually came into this world I was always roaming my

grandmother's property too I rarely liked going to school and instead I Wanted to roam the woods and collect anything and everything I could find I was often alone out there only my grandma's Farm dog followed me about however the first time I saw the creature it was during a family get together the adults were drinking by a bonfire when a few of my cousins and I decided to play a game called cops and robbers our version of it was basically hide and seek but instead of one Seeker there was a group of them and there

was A group of hiders too I was a Hider this time around I got the bright idea to hide behind an old Lincoln car parked by the barn since I knew everyone else would be too scared to go out that far after all the light barely reached that far only enough to see Shadows the car was also on the property line with my grandmother's neighbors where a mobile home sat unoccupied the neighbor's house was a few feet away and was dark as it was Late I sat down behind behind the car closest to the trailer

a few minutes went by and I could faintly hear my cousins giggling and screaming gleefully I shuffled to a squatting position smiling to myself suddenly I heard a whistle from behind me I stiffened right away my body seemed to know something wasn't right before my mind did the whistle came softly again it was almost too quiet to hear as the sound used to get someone's Attention I heard it all the time when my great uncle would use it to call his dog this time though it sounded slightly distorted I gathered my courage and I fully

stood and began to turn towards the sound beside a Tall Tree near the trailer was this all white creature it was also squatting like I had been but upon seeing me staring in fear it straighten Ed the thing was nearly 7 ft tall a sickly pale white color that Shone even in the dark its limbs were long and grotesque and before I knew it I was running as fast as my legs could take me I ended up colliding into one of my cousins who I was very close with at the time named Jay she and

I then slammed into the dirt she yelped and was ready to rip me a new one but she must have quickly seen the fear in my face because instead she asked what was wrong I ended up telling her and we agreed to quit the game entirely and Went into the house for the rest of the night a few months later though the incident was nearly forgotten by us once again the adults were partying and we were playing the same game I stayed well away from The Barn at this point and only hid near the house

staying in the light as much as possible my cousin Jan didn't she had a spirit of Bravery or something she went farther out than I'd previously gone going directly behind the old Barn behind the barn was nothing but Woods for literal miles and no light reaching that far the moon was particularly bright a full moon that summer night she told me that's why she could slightly see out there after a few moments she grew grew bored and began to jog around the barn instead of just retracing her steps that's when out of the corner of

her eye she saw a man in a bright red sweater just sitting on an all- white Lawn chair staring into the woods now we knew who all was there this man did not look like any relative of ours nor the nearby neighbors the creepy thing was he didn't even jump or move when she came by she said it was like he was frozen his skin was sickly white like the creatures it almost glowed obviously she was afraid and ran back to the house calling my name we met up and she told me what Happened we

never really said much to the grown-ups when they were drinking as they seemed to have a habit of always laughing at whatever we told them so we took it upon ourselves to investigate together the two of us crept over to towards the barn we peaked around the corner to see the lawn chair empty no one was around as we turned to walk back I heard my name whispered inside the dilapidated Barn Jay heard it too her eyes widened As she looked at my face we both ran tears in our eyes that night we slept with

my poor Grandma smashed up against one another the sound of that whisper still scares me to this very day just thinking about it sends Shivers up my spine although the next night we slept in the upstairs spare bedroom as they call it and to our horror my grandma's dog kept looking into our deceased great-grandmother's room growling Softly we shut the door with him inside the room with us until morning as we didn't dare to step in front of her room to get to the stairs the following day after telling my aunt be she admitted the

upstairs portion of the house always creeped her out when I inquired why she told me when she was a little girl she'd watched a Cheesy scary movie about werewolves but in her young mind it was very Creepy afterwards her and my grandmother slept in the third bedroom at the end of the hall she was having trouble sleeping that night due to the movie replaying in her mind she dozed off and on but at one point she began to hear heavy breathing the room was suddenly hot and moist as well her eyes shot open and she

saw a werewolflike creature sitting at the bottom of her bed eyes right on her it Stayed like this until morning now obviously this isn't the same creature we'd all been seeing but I know skinwalkers can mimic voices and other things which can scare you and that night it had been werewolves for her so maybe this entity or another was similar and wants to mimic your fears anyway after she told me this I stopped going upstairs for a long time whenever I stayed with my grandmother during the summer I slept Downstairs in the living room on

her couch I was always frightened there at night I constantly left the TV playing to drown out any noises as my grandma liked to sleep with her doors and windows wide open on a few occasions I was awakened by the shadow of a person stepping in front of the TV to stare then it would proceed into the kitchen this always horrified me but I would convince myself I was Dreaming however it always happened at 3:00 a.m. on the dot multiple nights away week sometimes I swear the kitchen light would switch on and the faucet in

there would turn on water exploding loudly onto the ceramic my grandma who had her bed in the living room as well due to having arthritic knees and not being able to climb the stairs nightly never heard any of This however her dog who often slept on my legs would sit up ears perked towards the kitchen now this was happening after my great-grandmother had passed and she was an odd creature herself when she was alive at 3:00 a.m. every night she would go into the kitchen turn the lights on and just sit there for hours playing

cards on the wooden dining room table when I asked her why a few times She always told me I Can talk to my husband her husband had died a long time ago but as a young kid I thought this was all very weird my great-grandmother and I never got along so if it was her doing this at night I still didn't feel too safe I even had a dream about her after the kitchen light flicked on and I dozed off because I was used to it by this point in the dream the stairway light was

on and she began to descend the Steps I was shocked to see her because even in the dream I knew she died I walked over to the steps the rest of the house was dark besides the one light she looked like her usual self and her normal all white attire however when I looked up at her and smiled she frowned deeply I sensed something was wrong then like it wasn't her she spoke in a deep harsh tone un likee her usual voice hello I was scared now every hair on my Body standing up I tried

to wake myself up knowing it was a dream what are you doing here I stammered stepping back whatever the thing was that mimicked her smiled cruy I came to tell you something important you're all going to hell this is hell all the demons are here after the words were out I was suddenly awake gasping for air I kept reping her or its words all night unable bble to sleep my mind decided all meant My family and I and I was distraught for days wanting to go home to get away from that house so I did

I didn't frequent it much in my teenage years either I got a job at 15 to help out with the bills and eventually I moved to a city about 20 minutes away when I turned 18 I don't visit there often as my family and I are not on the best terms anymore but one of my aunts has moved in Recently to help out my grandmother as she ages she's told me about how the dogs don't go out at night anymore how sometimes she hears an odd Screech and all the Crickets go silent how one night

she heard something scream her name from the woods she even told me about how the neighbor who's lived there nearly as long as our family has called my grandma to tell her he heard such an odd scream from the woods too he immediately got Back on his tractor and drove it into the garage locking the doors tight this has never happened before and to hear how frightened a man who has lived there his entire life was I was a bit shaken up when I did find time to sneak up there without a ton of family

members being there my aunt and I found a baby raccoon who had been killed in an odd way usually coyotes kill and eat them and there aren't any other predators in the area but the thing About this was it was whole it looked like whoever killed it had Twisted it forcing its legs to face the wrong way there were no other indicators of how it died all of its legs were seemingly unbroken even a few days after this my aunt called to tell me she found multiple Twisted animals all like that all placed along the

tree line to this day my family and I exchange these scary stories we rarely If ever go near those woods at night if I decide to take my dogs on a small hike I stay fairly close to the tree line when we're in the woods even during the day we have so many stories about the odd happenings there like mysterious lights hovering near us screams from the woods odd lights in the sky a lot of weird things the house and land are so beautiful but something old and haunting lurks around it stalking generations of My

family and I'm not sure if it will ever leave us alone why I put the bins out in the morning from RD in Hull I can't help but Wonder this may be connected to my previous story titled stinker in the fields which was a deta held encounter with Hull's local dog man/ werewolf back in 2002 now I'm not the healthiest of people back in 2020 I came down with a fairly bad chest infection the long-term Consequences of which have left my mobility and General Health severely hampered as a result my sleep pattern is generally shot

and I spend a good chunk of time at my desk be it passing out to sleep in a rather comfortable chair or Reading Writing or doing mundane tasks it's fairly close to one of my windows and as a result I often get a decent view of the street outside and the going Z of the night for the most part there's not much happening the odd drunk the odd Stray cat or dog nothing too special now there is a standard weekly practice each week the bins are put out and my downstairs neighbor is rather passive aggressive

so his current way of trying to cause problems for me is to put the bins out ridiculously early each week the local Council advises that the bin is to be put out on the morning of the collection day between 6:00 to 7:00 a.m. but a lot of people tend to be a bit more lazy putting the bin out the Night before this is fine but should the bins end up damaged or stolen the council treats that as the tenant's liability and responsibility to replace how however my downstairs neighbor has taken this to new levels the

day before the weekend before at one point an entire week before then he complains to the support workers that I never put the bins out which is a bit Rich considering he's sticking them Outside days in advance and I'm not going to compete with him to see who can put the bins out earlier the unfortunate consequences of this weren't too obvious until early 1 month down stairs had put the bins out 2 days early rather frustratingly on a Saturday which meant they would sit there until Tuesday now recently with my health declining as it had

I got back into a lot of the interests that I had Forgotten about or had put to one side to be a responsible adult I realized you simply cannot just carve out chunks of your life to be a good Cog in the machine because when you break the machine doesn't care one of of these interests was the supernatural Cryptids and all that I got to thinking more on odds and ends and keeping an eye out more than I had it was a Saturday night I'd fallen asleep in my chair simply because the Couch I used

as a bed wasn't sitting right with me for some reason and the recent Heat Wave made it really uncomfortable to do much other than be a puddle my sleep pattern being as erratic as it is tends to mean I drift in and out for for a few hours at a time suffering fatigue and exhaustion during the day as such I woke up about 2: to 3: in the morning as I usually do after having a bit of a stretch and deciding to stand up I looked outside my Window as to be expected it was quiet

the windows were open the street was fairly empty save the awkwardness of our bins having been shoved out onto the curb side the air was pleasant with just the right right coolness to it but it was at that point I realized something was off it was quiet but too quiet it was uncanny there was no traffic on the nearby roads no cats yowling and fighting not even the skittering of the Odd rat just this cold Eerie Stillness sitting in the area if I were a smart man I would have backed away even closed the windows

or pulled them as shut as I could without drawing attention instead I continued to look out glancing down the street I live on a street where there is a row of terraced houses which leads to a street of elderly Bungalows at the bottom and further Street splitting off Of Terrace houses North and South along that street connected to the southern streets is a footpath which runs through a good chunk of the city enclosed by trees and wild Shrubbery going through a number of more open and rundown areas has not quite Parks but not quite Wilderness

just an attempt to tame it such that it's a bit out of hand people walk their dogs down there people dump rubbish down there for the most part it's just a convenient cut through to Other parts of the city from the bottom end of the street I noticed a large figure huge dark heavily built seemingly loping down the road at first I thought perhaps it's a stray dog roaming down the street looking for scraps a Saturday night would be ideal for a stray as the average drunk will happily share their takeaway with a good per

and the homeless often take care of animals as well but after a few moments of watching in this cool silence I realized this Wasn't a dog it was too big the bins stand just shy 4 ft in height and this animal was coming up to them hunched over roughly the same height I watched and frowned the back of my mind starting to play back the events of some 21 years ago and unfortunately I got to see as it stood up roughly halfway down the street from my flat from my bins it howed over those bins

twice their height and I watched as it seemed to be inspecting them looking around them as though Scavenging for food I mean why wouldn't it a busy City plenty of rubbish going out each day and people quickly blame kids playing pranks or spinful neighbors for knocked over bins with contents scattered about no one would ever think of a dog man not a werewolf as a likely candidate my heart raced I shrank down against the wall peeking out the window cautiously as the Beast dropped down and Continued to lope down the street B to bin it

would sniff each one if a lid was slightly a jar it would pry it open to root around inside I suppose the good thing about everyone's bins going out so early is that they weren't as full as they should be so this Beast was Finding very little to work with but then I watched in deathly silence as it approached my Bins the smell of it hit me first the same rotting smell I'd gotten a whiff of some 20 years earlier the smell that gave it its name old stinker and I watched nervously as it lifted

the bins and started to root about I could hear it snorting and snuffling I could hear the bin liners rustling a little as it tugged and poked at them searching for anything I remained as silent as I could as I watched just waiting and hoping This thing would go away why was it here at my home of all places well I knew that but my mind was panicking at the time it was at that point that my health my body decided to betray me and make things awkward because I coughed I quickly tried to silence

it hacking up into a tissue and covering my mouth as I ducked down but I heard the Curious snort and sniff of the Beast I knew it hurt me for a moment there was Silence then I heard the dull thk of the bin lid dropping I glanced downward briefly to see the Beast curiously loping up the small pathway into the very small garden naturally this made a bit of noise an overgrown hedge caught it rustling a bit its attempts to turn itself about to avoid that caused it to knock into other bins in the garden

and this Drew other attention it did not want I could hear downstairs starting to Stir pounding on his window and shouting I glanced to see lights coming on across the road and I even heard another neighbor starting to gripe about whoever was making that noise in those caotic moments where light and sound were invading the still Darkness stinker turned quickly loping off away from the garden away from the house it knocked over one of the bins and after about half an hour of people complaining loudly to no one in Particular passive aggressively hoping for arguments

it seemed it was gone I went back to the night drifting off in my chair again as everything settled down come morning there was a different sort of story in the garden was a torn bin liner bits of rubbish strewn out around it a bin was knocked over lid slightly open to anyone else it simply looked looked like a bin had fallen or someone had fly Tipped it or tried to scr for cards or Bank details but what I did notice that day was a number of dead rats and pigeons in the area again in

an urban builtup area you don't think much about this but with the events of the previous night it sent a shiver down my spine stinker had been here and frustrated with the lack of scraps for easy pickings it had turned its hunger or or wrath on local wildlife In the early hours in the morning it had come back at first I questioned how why would it even be here it was a distance from where it was previously a fair distance from the drain that seemed to be its main territory but then that got me thinking

wolves have a hunting range from 50 to 1,000 square miles of territory so what must the hunting range be for the stinker and from Its Behavior it was Hungry maybe even a bit desperate it's a stark reminder that even as Humanity sprawls out it will come into contact with the Supernatural and the unknown and though people may think we're some sort of anathema to the Natural World a lot of creatures will adapt and survive we see this with foxes coyotes bears who will all happily scavenge bins and Gardens taking advantage of free Food where they

can and so too then will the Cryptids of the world adapt as we come into contact with them and that's just a bit more terrifying the thought that our safe Urban sprawls aren't really that safe at all from the beasts and monsters of the Untamed Wilderness werewolf in the fields of the UK from anonymous I was walking home one night from my Friend's house must have been around half 10 I kept to my usual route straight around the corner past the shops and up the hill this would take me home in 10 to 15 minutes

I made my way past the shops and I began to walk up the hill past this long stretch of Woodland and a field beside it but for some reason something felt strange it was was as if something was watching my every move I could feel the hair prickling at the back of my Neck I laughed it off as nothing but my own mind scared me as I looked up that's when I saw the moon full and big and bright something about it creeped me out and that's when the scraping noises began I could hear Light

tapping then the occasional heavy thud like a dog was running or circling around me I began to run soon halfway up the hill I was trying to outrun whatever I was hearing around me but before long the uphill run left me fatigued I was Tired and breathing extremely heavily I listened then but nothing was there this time and I mean no noise at all even all the birds fell silent as if some Predator was lurking about and they were aware of it in an instant a snarl came from my left which began more like a

hiss ending in a full growl like a dog that was ready to bark instinctively I glanced over in the direction of it I saw a huge dark figure it stood at least 6 and 1/2 Ft tall with glowing yellow eyes eyes that were more catlike it stood stood on hind legs which seemed most similar to those of a dog complete with padding and Claws whatever it was was gripping onto the fence it looked up at me then we locked eyes I tried to back up but I was shaking and I soon caught my foot on

a rock and fell by the time I quickly glanced back up towards it there was nothing just a now broken fence and the Sound of its feet and hands thumping on the ground as it sprinted in the direction of the opposite field full of cattle I hurried home when I got back to my house I was pale white and I threw up almost instantly due to panic before long that feeling of being watched came back although after a quick glance in the woods outside there turned out to be nothing there or so I thought an

eerie distant howl erupted from the forest a howl that sounded more like a Scream or a cry whatever it was it sounded angry then I spotted them the same eyes I saw before now under a tree in the distance right where the hedges ended I've never run to my room so fast in my life this event began to change the way I thought about things I've never really stepped outside at night much after it but one thing's for sure if that was real what else could be out there that Same paranoia both from my experience

and the question that haunted my mind still lives with me to this day almost 3 years later the dog man of Alice Ranch from kind of delirious this happened when I was about 11 years old my dad took me and my young younger brother to hunt and camp in Texas he picked us up from my mom's house around 10: p.m. it took us about 2 and 1/2 hours to get to the ranch our Grandpa and my older brother were already waiting for us by our Grandpa's tent the next couple of days went over well one

day our dad woke us up at around 5:00 in the morning to get us ready for some deer hunting he'd walked us to one of the blinds and left me and my little brother at one while he took my older brother with him to another spot a good mile or so from ours our grandpa had his blind away from me and my younger brother's blind to make Sure we didn't do anything stupid as kids sometimes do a few hours went by my little brother eventually just fell asleep I was up looking at the feeders around

8:00 a.m. I saw a 10-point buck emerge from the brush I nudged my brother awake slowly he woke up I saw his face light up with joy he reached immediately for my rifle but I care carefully pushed his hand away he whispered what are you doing we have a Straight shot I pointed back to the feeder there were two dos near the buck my little brother slumped down in his chair tears in his eyes looking at him I sighed and reached for my rifle even though my father had told me not to waste a shot

unless you have a clear one despite these dos being in the way it sort of broke my heart seeing my little brother sad like that so I ignored the rule steadied my rifle and made sure I was Sighted in a couple of minutes passed by but it felt like forever before I was finally able to take a shot it landed right on the Buck's shoulder my little brother had been watching the whole thing he was so excited we were ready then to step out of the blind but when we did I heard a rustling in

front of us even though I'd already landed a buck I got excited at the thought of Landing another being the overconfident kid I was I took my aim and held my breath Then I peered into the scope to take a look that was the worst thing I could ever do at the same time my brother grabbed a flashlight and Shone it out into the dark the beam landed right on that thing this Beast had the head of a German Shepherd but it had the body of a bodybuilder right away when the beam hit it it

snapped its head in our Direction I thought it was just a weird and big dog then it ran straight at our blind I heard a loud thud against the walls fear had set in with my little brother and me then what I feared most had come true I looked up at the blind's window there it was that thing it had black fur covering its upper body its lips curled back bearing yellowish canine teeth some of which were covered in a deep red substance the loud footsteps circled us faster and faster then out of nowhere they

stopped I I wondered how long that would last the Door handle shook violently then that creature was trying to open the blind I aimed my rifle at the door using one hand to place my brother behind me as the door Pride open I saw that it was just my grandpa he' heard my little brother screaming with rifle in hand he had left his blind to see what was going on he took us and ran with us to our father's blind he told my dad that my little brother had screamed after asking what happened my little

brother just Muttered wolf we went back to Camp that night was worse to come around 3:00 a.m. I woke up to the sound of a loud and menacing howl I stood from my sleeping bag and peered outside I saw the outline of a humanoid thing at the tree line I ducked back into my sleeping bag crying telling myself it wasn't real it was just a dream how wrong I was I heard loud and quick footsteps running straight towards the tent I gathered the courage to look Up to take a peek at the thin tint window

that thing's hands yes humanlike hands ending in long black claws and red piercing eyes sat right at the window it was there just peering down at me eventually it walked back into the woods the following day I went to the blind again with my dad and older brother this time my little brother went with my grandpa we never got the buck I'd shot so we were going back for it now well when we found it it had already Been decimated its stomach had been ripped open legs torn up and twisted antlers almost completely chewed through

after that day I never went camping or hunting there [Music] again my girlfriend strange creature encounter in Cape May from sneeve 0426 this story is from my girlfriend's perspective she still to this day has no idea what she encountered it happened to me back in 2018 I arrived in this small rural town near Cape May the company I was working for at the time was sending me to go door-to-door advertising cable and Wi-Fi that they wanted me to sell I was getting weird Vibes all throughout the day as the town itself was very small and

a bit creepy with people staring at me or giving me the cold shoulder for the entire day it seemed like a lot of the town's folk that I encountered that day were on edge and it was a weird Tense atmosphere that I Shrugged off as people are weird all the time I continued doing my job chugging a redb to keep me going which didn't affect me at all surprisingly besides the weird atmosphere the scenery was actually quite pretty when she got off the main road I had to stop at different streets and somewhere in the

woods on long and seemingly beautiful endless roads it was quite Scenic Just Before Sunset I was scheduled to visit a few houses on a small Peninsula to get to this peninsula you had to go down a very long road past a summer camp area past a trailer park past the woods and then you finally find yourself in a small open area with a bay Marsh a couple small expensive houses and Shore access the houses were so close to the water it seemed to be a code violation but I'm sure they were built to Withstand storms

since they did look so expensive every house had its own theme and the area was mostly deserted only one house had someone inside at the time whom I had talked to after knocking on his door I was so distracted looking at the houses and scenery that I didn't notice how fast Sunset was approaching I came to the realization that I should start heading back then to avoid being alone on that long deserted pathway in the woods as a smaller female I'm never Comfortable after dark in isolated places especially without cell surface I was making my

way down the path so far so good as it wasn't completely dark yet as I approached the wooded area of the road I was walking a bit faster as there were no street lights and the sunlight was rapidly disappearing as I walked at a decently Fast Pace I noticed something the woods were eerily quiet all the life that I was hearing before was gone crickets Birds no just pure silence I stopped in my tracks and I got chills down my spine as I felt the feeling that I was being watched I looked around the dark

woods for any sudden movement then like clockwork something up ahead made its way out of the tree line it looked to be some type of large animal my brain went into overdrive analyzing whatever this animal was was it a bear a dog no it looked too large to be a dog though I was intimidated by its large size Whatever it was had not noticed me yet even though I was scared I also didn't want to walk back and go into that one man's house as a woman I'd rather take my chances with a wild animal

than be alone with a man I didn't know in a deserted holiday neighborhood suddenly as I was thinking this the large animal in the distance had finally noticed my presence it was observing me not entirely sure of what to do with me there wasn't enough light Anymore for me to see the animal's face but I felt unusually frightened whatever I was looking at was definitely too big to even be a black bear I mean its shoulder height on all fours was about 5 ft or more which is more comparable to the size of a brown

bear the mass on this creature was extensive as the outline of what I could see looked more like a wolf on steroids it was extremely muscular I also noticed the outline of its face was very similar to that of a German Shepherd or a wolf it had those pointed perked ears and a long snout In the Heat of the Moment I could only hear the sound of my heart palpitating as fear and adrenaline started to crawl its way into my bloodstream it felt as if time Stood Still then it dawned on me what I was

looking at was not a normal animal it simply was too big to be any animal that I could recognize from New Jersey's catalog of fauna and if it wanted to Attack me I would be powerless against it it was just too big though to calm myself down I threw out the idea that this creature was out of the ordinary I felt like this could be rationalized somehow I made my brain go back to the idea of this being maybe a large dog or coyote I did not believe in Cryptids and I was completely unaware at

the time of what size coyotes were supposed to be so I made a quick decision realizing that this could very Well be a life or death situation I came to the conclusion that this very large doglike creature was probably a skittish coyote that I could scare off at least temporarily to calm down my nerves what other choice did I have the longer I kept standing there the more aggressive I might come off to this animal and I didn't want it to get territorial or get the idea that I was easy prey so I decided I

would make the most hideous loud confusing and startling scream slh Howl I could muster and just Sprint the rest of the way after I screeched this hideous sound out of my body as hard as I could the animal quickly changed its body language too defensive but then it quickly changed its mind to deciding it wasn't worth a fight it ran a distance away into the woods not too far though I started to Sprint as fast as I could past that area and Beyond I sprinted until I reached the end of the road and noticed there

was a summer camp area With street lights near me I rested on top of a table there out of breath and feeling my heart pounding out of my chest however I was still very shaken up I still felt like I was being watched I kept my eye on the tree line my eyes were darting around looking for any sign this animal was still there once I felt that the coast was clear I located the next house I was scheduled to visit and I quickly made my way over there I met a nice family who ended

Up buying cable from me and I told them what had happened to me that night and how I was treated by the locals the lady of the family who I presumed to be the mother said I don't know why they sent you out here alone these Woods are dangerous after dark and there are creepy people who live around here the impression she gave me was that there were animal encounters she could not explain and that there were lots of ex-convicts in the area as well as People who should have been arrested and haven't been she

was as equally concerned about the people as she was the animals around the place this gave me goosebumps how many times today could my life have been taken they were extremely concerned for my safety and told me to contact my team leader so I could get picked up they said they didn't want me to go outside again and that I should call it quits for the night and to not visit any other houses To this day I still have no idea what creature I encountered there are strange things in the woods things people don't speak

about things they might even be covering up to me it felt as if the towns folk of that town knew something about what I encountered so weird creature I encountered in those woods let's never meet again werewolf attack from Jun I'm not even sure where to start with this it pains me to even think About it because it only happened a week ago but I'll do my best you can call me Jay I'm a 21-year-old guy and last week I decided to take the trip from LA to my boyfriend's house in Wyoming we were finally

moving in together so we needed to get the final things from his parents house back to our new one in La it was around a 15-hour trip there and a 15-hour trip back so I stopped along the way in Utah for a day after all my friend lives there I had no Issues for most of the journey until I stupidly decided I'd Drive the last 8 hours straight during the night I was about an hour outside of Salt Lake City it was around 1:00 a.m. I was driving through a forested road when it happened there

was a decapitated deer in the road which made me bring my car to a stop it was right slap bang in the middle blocking me from getting by as the road was narrow my entire surroundings were pitch black with my headlights being the Only source of light except for the Moon the Moon might have been full at the time I really can't remember well as it didn't even cross my mind to check at the moment I had to do something so I tried calling my boyfriend first but the signal kept getting dropped we weren't able

to talk for long but he told me to just drive over it as getting out wasn't worth the risk of the Predator still being around I still wish I'd just to listen to him instead I got out of my Car and headed toward the deer whilst I was making my way over the Crickets around me slowly went silent soon the only sound I could hear was my car engine which really made me feel unsettled I just wanted to get out of there so I took hold of the deer's legs and I started to drag it

out of the way into the Shrubbery on the side I was not about to touch the head it was what happened then that shook me to my core when I'd finished dealing with the Deer's body I wiped my hands clean on my shirt and looked up at my car sure enough there it was right next to my open car door it was 7 to 8 ft tall covered in dark hair standing on two feet its eyes were like yours are mine but bloodshot and I mean extremely bloodshot its pupils were a kind of yellowish orange

and one of its hands was clenching my car door I can still see those thick long claws scraping into the glass window it was Looking right into my soul panting and frowning like it was full of Rage at me so much so that its mouth was opening slowly revealing long canine teeth I froze there like a deer in the headlights pretty ironic considering the headlights were on me now I didn't know what to do but I slowly took a step back as I did that it took a step towards me its legs were jointed like

a dogs this creature didn't even look like a standard werewolf that you would see in A movie more like a wolf man or a dog dog man it didn't have any clothes but it did have a few pieces of shirt over its torso it was unlike anything I could have ever imagined at this point I was panicking I genuinely thought I was going to die that night alone and Afraid when I took one last step back it charged at me with the most deafening Roar I've ever heard so much adrenaline was running through me that

I swerved when it was about 1T away from me it Then tried to swipe at me with its claws it missed giving me the opportunity to run back to my car I ran back in stepping on that pedal faster and harder than I ever had I had to pass it as it was now back where I'd found the deer but this thing I didn't care about hitting it I wanted to get away the beast lunged at my car as I passed by which caused the whole car to shake but now I was already ramping up

speed after 20 minutes of going way faster down that Road than I should have been I was clear and back on the free way at that point I felt safe and I called my boyfriend I was frantic and could barely speak a word he was just as upset as I was after hearing about it I called the police after that they said they'd send a few Rangers down that road to investigate they even said that they'd had a few reports from other people passing through that very same road the very same Night I didn't hear

anything back after that I've always been a fan of Horror but I never even considered anything like that to be real I don't even know if I still believe it was real I sit up at night trying to come up with any other reasonable explanation for it I've written this just to be heard by someone aside from my boyfriend no one else knows or believes what I saw was real I wish they were right I hope they were right the only thing I know is that if I Hadn't swerved out of the way I probably

wouldn't be here to write this today a Dogman encounter from when Ghost come out this story isn't my own experience but it's from a woman in Michigan just up north from the Montcalm County area it happened in a cabin in the woods I never knew the lady in fact I heard the story from my dad and my dad had read it from a newspaper this woman lived in a cabin in the woods one dark night she started to Hear sniffing coming from the window and front door she was confused to what it could have been

she opened the window and looked around outside what she found horrified her a doglike face was staring right back at her through the window that she had just opened she freaks out runs away and grabs a gun she began to hear this thing clawing and scratching at her door it was loud and Furious she fires a gunshot through her roof to scare it away and luckily for her it Seemed to work the thing was no longer there and the scratching noises stopped She called the cops soon after when they arrived there was no dog man

outside but there was a hole in her roof and what's more concerning and scary was the fact that they also found huge and unnatural scratch marks going all the way down her front door on the outside not only that but there were dozens of other claw marks the officers had never seen anything like it the the woman explained Everything that had happened the sounds of the claws the dog face in the window the sniffing around the door they were shocked the cops agreed that no human could ever do anything like that to a door soon

enough it was reported on the local newspapers around Michigan who knows maybe there is a dog man out there hiding in the woods the friendly dog man from bandora the following is a story told to me by my cousin an honest guy who has never Lied to me at least as far as I know and who used to deny the existence of such creatures this story will be told from his perspective before we begin though I need to mention a few things my cousin's a pretty big guy standing around 2 m his height coupled with

his expertise in karate have earned him his second blue belt not long before this happened he's much more of a fight than a flight kind of a guy he also doesn't live in the US he lives in Europe specifically Germany So consider this a translation of the story he told me so keep in mind if he mentioned something in meters to me I converted that to feet in the story and lastly there actually aren't any tales about dog men in our country only werewolves but from what he told me there was no full moon present

so it couldn't have been a werewolf now without further Ado here's the story me and two of my friends decided to go Camping at the forest area near our town after spending so much time indoors due to you know what we met at my house as it was the closest to the road leading to the forest once there we loaded our camping equipment into the car of one of my friends we would be camping that night and the sun was already setting however it was later than planned because one of my friends had to work

an extra hour there wasn't much sunlight left when we arrived we got to work Quickly setting everything up while my friends unloaded the car and set up the tents I was out collecting firewood I was at it for about half an hour I'd gone deeper into the woods when suddenly I heard some heavy footsteps along with a wolf-like growl behind me this was definitely odd since wolves haven't been native to this forest for centuries having been wiped out by Farmers to protect their livestock I put down my wood I'd Gathered and I began to turn

around slowly what I saw next I'll never forget standing several feet away from me on its hind legs was a large creature covered in dark gray fur it had a wolf-like face and piercing yellow eyes it was nearly 8 ft tall I had to look up at it but what somehow shocked me even more than the creature itself was what it was carrying in its long arms it was a young girl I couldn't tell what whether she was still breathing or Not but I also couldn't make out any blood or wounds while I stared at

the girl the creature took another step towards me then it bent down until its snout was about an inch away from my face I could feel the air coming out of its nose as it sniffed me inhaling my scent after what felt like forever it suddenly backed off again after it took a few steps back it crouched down placing the girl on the ground in front of me then it got down on all four legs And gave me a last growl as if to say that I should leave these Woods then it ran back the

way it came at such high speed that I was glad it wasn't chasing me I looked at it running away for a moment before I heard the girl asking quietly whether the creature was gone I replied with a yes and asked her whether she was all right while helping her up she replied yes as as well I noticed she had a few bruises on her face I asked her where those came From she told me that those were not from the creature but from her abusive stepfather apparently she had run away from home the day

before to go to her uncle who lives in our town she stayed off the road to avoid her parents finding her by car which is why she went through the woods there not long before my own encounter she had heard a growl coming from behind her she saw this creature moving towards her on all fours she told me she had heard that one Should play dead when being approached by a predator and so she did just that but before long she felt herself being picked up and carried away by this creature since she didn't want

to risk doing anything to upset the creature she simply didn't move I offered to drive her to her uncles she accepted and I brought her to my friends I told them she was on her way to her uncles and that I found her in the woods but but knowing they Wouldn't believe the rest of the story I didn't say anything about the creature we drove her to her uncles as promised who took her in and thanked us for bringing her to him after all was said and done we decided to go camping a different time

I'm not sure why the creature didn't attack the girl or me and instead simply brought her to me obviously I'm glad it happened that way still I don't know if I ever want to meet it again who Knows whether it's still so benevolent when it's is Hungry Wolf Man in the suburbs from Lucky 12 I live in the suburbs of Salt Lake City my house is about 20 M from the nearest forest or Mountain this happened one night I woke up around 4:00 a.m. because my mouth was so dry my room is on the second

floor of my house so I had to go downstairs to get a drink when I got back upstairs I Got got back in bed and began to fall back to sleep a couple of minutes went by when suddenly the hair on my arms stood up the first thing I did was look around the room to make sure that whatever was making my hair stand up like that wasn't in the room with me I've had some weird things happen in my room as well as the area outside my room after making sure the coast was clear

I stood up and walked over to the blinds it was then that I knew whatever was Making me feel this way had to be outside when I looked out I saw a deer go running down the street outside my house a couple of seconds after the deer ran by I saw something else go running down the street after the deer this creature was definitely what had set my brain off the creature was covered in thick dark fur it had large humanlike hands with long claws instead of fingers its legs looked human but sort of backwards

it also had a wolf-like head It was tall a about 2/3 the height of the light post outside my window it was also extremely fast it covered the 150 ft of my street and what seemed to be a few seconds after seeing that I could not fall asleep and for a while I was a bit too scared to even look outside I don't really believe in the Paranormal but I do like listening to such stories I always look for a good explanation for everything I'm starting to believe there are things that we haven't officially Discovered

yet [Music] later on after that night my sister saw the same creature walking down the street this confirms that I actually did see it that it wasn't just a dream she gave the same description except she actually saw its eyes she described them as orangey red uncomfortably I decided to continue on knowing that I was probably fairly close to the Leisure Center slj gym that Indicated the only real turn of my journey and the start of another long stretch of road which would eventually lead to civilization hopefully whatever IID heard would be content to stay

behind in those fields maybe it was a deer maybe it was some unseen Barnyard Critter put out to field that I couldn't make out in the dark but as I continued on as I continued to walk I heard the sounds The crunching the shuffling continuing alongside me it was still quiet still cold the silence was still heavy in the air elsewhere at this point I was beginning to pick up my Pace hoping that whatever seemed to be following me would be content to stay in the fields or even better stuck there behind the chicken wire

fence Tatty barbed wire and dodgy electric fences that bordered them but after a few moments the sounds Continued picking up pace themselves now I know it wasn't me I wasn't hearing an echo of myself I was walking in sneakers on a damp grassy Verge nothing was going to Crunch that loudly and I certainly wasn't that heavy I paused again then looking about once more peering towards the fields as I slowly kept walking along the Verge on the opposite side of the road it was then that I saw it the initial sighting is best described as

a fairly Large black shape moving along the edge of the field I couldn't quite see all of it I didn't really have much in the form of a flashlight and mobile phones back then were well dimly lit green screens at best so I was catching fleeting glances between the overlapping street lights it was moving along the edge moving in the same direction as me I couldn't quite make out what it was at that particular moment it was just big and moving with me swallowing Nervously I decided to turn and Sprint I reminded myself I simply

needed to get to the Leisure Center and from there it would be civilization an abundance of light plenty of other people drunks even but as I sprinted and as my heart raised I heard it the shuffling the snapping a sound of wire fence rattling and shaking as something climbed straight over it as though it wasn't even a bother as I ran I heard the sounds across the road from me where the fields were starting to Disappear into ditches another grassy Verge with hedge RS and small bushes as a backdrop as we started to get to

housing areas it was also then that the smell hit a foul rotten sulfurous stench wafting in my direction as the wind blew it down toward me I gagged and I stumbled stopping just by the walls of the Leisure Center I looked across the way and I could see it more clearly now a large black shape covered in scraggly Fur but with a distinctly canine silhouette it loped along going from all four to Upright to all fours at its own whim and I could hear it panting sniffing as it looked toward me with gold red eyes

one thought came to my mind when I saw it werewolf it really did look much like the stereotypical Wolfman but it was also at this point I realized I was in trouble I was in danger I was exhausted and burnt out I Could no longer run run I was cold sweating and this thing was slowly approaching me but I was at just the junction I needed to get to cross the road and I was in builtup areas able to follow a foot bridge to houses then down the main road to home determined to get somewhere

hoping light or at least something would deter the thing following me I decided to cross the road thankfully this was the moment that I would get lucky my attention was solely on this creature so I didn't notice the Lori driving fairly slowly at night coming round the roundabout not immediately noticing me either thankfully the driver was not going that fast so seeing an exhausted man slowly making his way across the road he was able to stop in time luckily for me the Lori stopped the driver leaning out to shout profanities at me and I looked

at him trying to apologize Then I froze the stinker the creature was approaching behind the Lorry but as the driver continued to shout it seemed the stinker was somewhat put off there was a loud thk as it jumped up onto the back of the Lorry causing the driver to stop and look at me hey you see that yeah I see it I couldn't describe it I was shook watching as the driver stood and tried to peer around the cab to see what was Now on the roof of the trailer we both watched the stinker L

Along the trailer before jumping down past the driver between myself and the Lori it looked at me one last time then darted off toward the ditch in the direction of the river and more importantly the local drain myself and the Lori driver looked to each other shaking our heads we both agreed probably a uh a big stray dog but both of us knew what we saw wasn't right the rest of my trip home was fairly Uneventful I got in just past 3:30 a.m. clamoring up the stairs to my room to collapse and sleep the following

day away I didn't mention this to anyone I figured these circumstances were just too many red flags and nobody would believe some 20 years later after health issues I decided to embrace my old love of the Paranormal of Cryptids doing some local research out of curiosity old stinker is Hull's local Werewolf having been spotted for a number of decades its name comes from the smell the rotting sulfurous stinch of its breath it's been spotted along the industrial Estates particular ularly along the barnston drain where the route I'd taken that night was fairly close to I'd

been hunted by old stinker stalked in the cold night and only escaped due to circumstantial luck I suppose he thought that one lone student may have been easy prey but Throw in a Lori and an Irate yelling man and it's no longer so easy for that I am thankful I will say that since this encounter I made it a point to not walk long distances in the middle of the night through lonely back roads it's one thing to stumble back through builtup areas where there's CCTV on every corner and plenty of people around at all

hours be they drunk homeless or stumbling home just as you are opposed to walking back In dead silence through poor lighting No cameras and the Chance the last things to see you alive might be a sheep or a pony werewolf or Skinwalker from lost soul J I was nine at the time this experience happened I'm 21 now before I begin I'll give a little information back then I was living with my mom we were living in these people's garage which was renovated into a type Of apartment it was one big space with a kitchen and

a bathroom as you entered the apartment through the door you entered mine and my mom's bedroom now this door didn't lock our apartment was about 30 ft away from the main gate which was attached to the brick wall that surrounded the rest of the property it wasn't a very high wall and there were trees lined up in front of the wall the yard was big and there Was a swing that was connected to the treehouse which belonged to the landlord's son for the sake of the story let's call him Ethan now let me tell you

my story one night my mom went out so I was left alone as far as I knew the landlords weren't home at the time either otherwise Ethan and I would have had sleepovers or just played together I decided to sit outside the apartment to enjoy the cool night's Breeze I was Minding my own business when I got the most dreaded feeling that I was not alone that I was being watched I scanned my surroundings to find the cause of this feeling and finally my gaze fell on the gate the street was well lit and I

could see the outlines of the trees but I couldn't see anything out of the ordinary not until Movement by the gate caught my eye it looked to be the outline of a head crouched behind find where the wall In the gate met I could not make out much but I could make out a pair of ears and I could tell the head was covered in fur if I listened carefully too I could hear panting now my first thought was that this was a dog but that thought left rather quickly as its head snapped up now

I saw a 7t frame towering over the wall and I could see that it was all all covered in fur and it was standing on two legs like a man its head then turned To face me and I could feel my heart pounding I slowly got up making my way to the door and I didn't take my eyes off of it in case it moved I began to cry in fear and frustration as I tried to close the door without looking for the handle because I didn't want to turn away from this creature after a

few seconds the Beast put its arms in the gate and I could see the outlines of sharp and Long Claws and that was it for me I looked at the door Then grabbed it and slammed it closed without another look I put what little weight I had against it and kept the door closed I stayed very still and listened closely I could hear footsteps before long they were coming to the door and I began to full on panic tears streaming down my face then I heard a low growl right outside I felt it beginning to

push at the door almost enough to open it the Growling grew louder I know what I did was possibly the worst thing to do in that situation but remember I was a terrified child I screamed at the top of my lungs as loud as I possibly could the growling stopped and after a few seconds I stopped screaming I thought I could hear footsteps leaving I waited a long time before quietly moving away from the door and Fetching a chair putting it in front of the door I then tried to move very quietly going to the

kitchen and grabbing one of my mom's biggest kitchen knives then I went to hide under the bed which faced the direction of the [Music] door I tried staying awake for a while but from Pure fear and exhaustion I fell asleep sometime later I woke up to the sound of the door opening and the chair being pushed Aside I clutched the knife in my hands only to hear a familiar voice and see a pair of ugly pink sneakers that I knew were my mom's I rushed out from under the bed leaving the knife there and hugging

her she held me back and didn't even ask why why I was under the bed I could tell she was just exhausted I decided not to say anything as I let her go to bed and I made my way to the door to look Outside it was Daylight then I didn't know what time but I did see my friend Ethan playing on the swings nearby I stepped outside to look around everything seemed fine Ethan then noticed me and he waved and called my name I waved back and went over to join him we talked and

played for a while during that time I almost forgot about the night before we then heard his dad calling him He promised to come play later then he ran to his house I smiled feeling relaxed I got off the swing and started to walk back to the apartment just before I reached the door I heard Ethan calling me I stopped and looked toward towards his house but he wasn't there I was confused I heard him call me again then but this time I looked over by the swings I regretted looking instantly right behind our Treehouse

Next to the swings stood a tall creature staring at me with sunken dark holes where the eyes should have been its limbs were unnaturally long and its body was thin and gray and looked rotten I didn't wait around to see more was it the same creature as before if so what had happened to it between now and last night I ran inside grabbing the knife from under the bed and I was about to slam the door but as I looked outside again it was no longer There I closed the door and stayed close to my

mom all night I never saw anything like that again I don't even know if they were the same creature or not but I'd rather not find out I saw a werewolf twice from Swiss dog these events happened 7 years apart my first encounter happened when I was 11 years old it was 2013 I'd ask my dad if I could spend Time at my friend John's house he said sure just be back by 9:00 p.m. okay and take ruie and Clark with you ruy was my 4-year-old Rottweiler and Clark was my 1-year-old standard poodle I had

another dog Keys a six-year-old Bulldog but he stayed at the house to keep dad company later on that night it was getting close to 9:00 p.m. so I started to walk back home I lived in the country at the time there were a lot of wild Animals around as the dogs and I were walking I began to hear noises but I was thinking it was just a raccoon we were about 6 ft away from my driveway when rubby stopped and started to growl I thought he was just growling at another animal but when Clark started

to growl too I knew it was something worse than that something was wrong you see Clark never really growled at Anything I was getting ready to say something when a large dark creature ran out from behind a tree and took off running I stood there startled dumbfounded from what I saw I remember thinking right there that couldn't be real right my dogs and I then ran and ran until we made it back home to the front door we burst through and dad said what in the world before he slammed the door and grabbed his gun

my dad looked at me And said stay inside there's something out there fast forward to 2020 I was 18 Clark and keys were gone by then my dad and I were driving back home from the lake one night with our dogs Zach a border collie lucky a doberman pincher and Loki a black wolf Malamute mix as we drove everything was really quiet suddenly I saw something Dart across the road I quickly yelled Dad look out he slammed on his brakes and Said another one I looked at him and I told him we have to get

home I looked back at our dogs they were growling and bearing their teeth we made it home fast and slept in the living room now a days my dad and I avoid walking or driving at night whenever possible [Music] Halloween werewolves from Xwb in 2020 we all know there were some Global mishaps and an event affected my graduation that year which was a bummer it affected our high school seniors the most it seemed there were people who had to take online classes and didn't participate so they didn't graduate I felt really bad after all that

happened it was nearly Halloween of 2020 I thought to myself it'd be pretty cool if we all got together and had a lot of Fun to make up for the awful year so I thought of an idea to have a party I knew it was against regulations on the social distancing stuff but honestly I didn't care anymore now I didn't want to have a party in my own house because the last time we had a party there we had problems with some of our stuff being missing or stolen but the problem was I didn't know

where to go so I opened up to my girlfriend Leanne including my friends on Discord asking them all some suggestions to a few places one of Leanne's friends Sam said why don't we try that cabin or outdoor home that your third cousin has I asked Sam why she even wanted to go she said she was off work it was Halloween it would be a blue moon on a Saturday a lot of good points all right I said so I gave everybody the address and where the party would be now another thing to note My third

cousin Lance moved to California for his new job as a high school music teacher so I asked his husband Francis if I could throw a party at their cabin he answered sure as long as you guys don't drink alcohol now I don't keep any promises so on Halloween I grabbed snacks soft drinks and my costume and headed out to the cabin I was the first to arrive there I quickly put on my costume in case you're wondering what I wore it was A steampunk plague doctor fitting right after a few minutes go by my friend

Cameron arrived with one of those glowing purge masks which also makes sense as well due to the lovely riots I mean peaceful protests that were going on at the time he brought over some angry Orchards and a variety of flavors then Leanne arrived dressed as Little Red Riding Hut Sam arrived after that as an anime Catgirl yeah I know it's weird finally Another friend of mine Adam arrived as a Call of Duty zombies character I think it was Dr Edward Ren after my friends arrived we partied drank and played some games then we watched some

of the Saw movies Al together having a good time now something you should know is that I experienced something of a crypted sighting here before I truly believe at one point that I saw a werewolf at this cabin you may have heard the story Before narrators note if you want to hear the original story it was featured in the episode titled four horrifying creatures hunting people in the woods which was episode 278 of The Unexplained encounters podcast now back to the story I had shared this story with this group of friends and Sam especially was

inquisitive of it at this point in the night Sam kept demanding that we go outside into the woods to find this elusive Werewolf having been terrified of the creature before I thought this was a terrible idea so I replied to her you know what if you want to go out in the woods in the dark all by yourself then be my guest if you get attacked or even killed by that thing out there I'm not coming to rescue you I said this not to be mean just to scare her into thinking it would be a

bad idea but I was wrong because it backfired Sam Immediately headed towards the door and left not a very big brain move of me Leanne noticed that Sam had it out on her own and demanded we should try to find her before it was too late if she wasn't going to be attacked by a werewolf she might be attacked by a bear or coyotes she could get lost with the sigh I agreed Adam wanted to stay in the cabin because he was a bit afraid of the stories I've told he was also scared of the

typical Wildlife out there I can understand that as silly as this may sound the three of us grabbed our flashlights we went out into the woods with our costumes on looking for a friend all the while there might be some sort of monster on the loose it might sound silly but I can assure you this legitimately happened stupid yeah we can agree on that we were walking along the wooded road and it was wasn't long before I noticed that something was wrong I Turned to my right and didn't see anything weird but I swear I

heard something then it clicked the noise the position it came from it was the exact same as 2 years ago the only way to prove this was to do exactly as I did before I told the guys to stop walking and just as I predicted the noises nearby stopped too we were being followed I whispered to them do you have any weapons Cameron replied yeah I've got a Pocket knife will that work are you kidding me no well I wasn't expecting to be stalked suddenly we heard someone running behind us we turned around horrified only

to see Sam petrified lean immediately exclaimed Sam thank goodness you're okay Sam replied right away no I'm not okay do I look okay what happened she answered as I looked around making sure the coast was clear I just Went out to walk wondering if I could see the same thing that Javier saw I heard something behind me and I'm sorry you were right I looked over to Sam then confused so you saw it she nodded rapidly yes huge tail snout everything as soon as she said that my heart dropped if she hadn't been the one

making the noises near us then what was it I looked down the road and I saw it the same creature that I stared Down 2 Years ago we were reunited face to face only this time it was nearly 5 or 6 ft away holy crap what Le asked then looked over and saw what I was seeing she was speechless then before long we all saw it the creature before us made a loud growl then we began to hear branches breaking around us there was more than one of them I'd always believed there was just one

Leanne clinged on to me and I Wondered if we were about to die then as if by some miracle a gunshot was fired in the distance these creatures scurried off in a hurry what just happened Cameron yelled out I looked out to where the cabin was and I answered Adam happened we headed quickly back to the cabin where we found a zombie Target with a bullet hole in it and Adam was sitting on the front porch holding what looked to be a hunting rifle he'd been Doing target practice and just happened to possibly have saved

Our Lives hey guys Adam said uh you look like you saw a ghost or something Cameron took his mask off and asked where the heck did you get that gun I brought it with me in case we wanted to do some shooting practice is that a problem no no no no no I think you saved Our Lives we told Adam we'd explain tomorrow for the time being we went inside and Had some drinks werewolf sightings around the suburbs of Denver from C Philly 100 these are going to be short but they're interesting as these make

two and three sightings in or around the greater Denver metro area number one a young girl was up late one night looking out the secondstory window of her Suburban home in the Parker area where it's semi- rural but there are still Covenant communities drawing power from the grid she witnessed a werewolflike creature step out into the streetlight she described it as the classic werewolf with strong Rippling muscles short dark hair backwards legs and humanlike hands she said the head looked like a big wolf with glowing Amber eyes she saw it look right up at her

it wasn't menacing but it was very aware of her even from a distance it was so still she had to Blink her eyes the only motion was a slight ruffling of its fur in the breeze I guess at some point it left then she went to bed but of course no one believed her about her encounter number two a teenager was babysitting her younger sister while their parents went out to dinner in the golden Arvada area their parents were due home soon and so the two sisters were watching out the window to see if they

could run out And surprise them just then the motion light in the front yard kicked on and they watched with horror as a werewolf of all things stepped out into the yard it looked right at them and seemed to glide back and forth almost as if it was on a mechanical track or something it grinned at them and seemed to enjoy the fear it was provoking in the girls it didn't approach the window it just kept walking back and forth while maintaining direct eye contact with them the whole Time just then their parents pulled into

the driveway the headlight shining in the window temporarily blinding the girls when they looked back the werewolf was gone they told their dad when he got in and he went out to take a look but nothing was there nor were there any tracks but you can't typically see much in that dry Colorado grass anyway those are two stories that I think of from time to time I find them curious seeing as how close they Occurred so close to a major metropolitan area but even for the sprawl Denver is still just a blip on the map

where the Great Plains meet the Rocky Mountains and there are numerous green belts and creeks and rivers that snake all the way down from the mountains and into the city as humans continue to expand into Wilderness areas I think we can expect to see more and more Encounters of this sort Possible werewolf encounter in Jamestown Colorado collected by C Philly 100 first off I'd just like to say it's fascinating how many of these types of stories come out of Colorado but I think the reasons for that are twofold one the high human population density living

so close to vast Wilderness areas and two the percentage of that population whose hobbies and passions take them deep out into the back country of this beautiful wild state that is Colorado this story Happened to two of my best friends C and P out on the old bar K Ranch where we all used to live up in Jamestown Colorado but don't be fooled by the name this isn't your grandfather's cattle ranch no the old bar k covers thousands of Acres of rugged Mountain terrain steep Rocky Cliffs and Jagged Granite spires like citadels or centuries standing

guard to either side of James Creek as it snakes it way down the unforgiving canyon it's such a wild Place you can almost imagine the Native Americans living and hunting out here as truly very little has changed since then we used to have mock battles whereupon we would try to sneak up on each other with snowballs which probably wasn't the wisest idea after all as we later spoke with a forest stranger who told us that there is a rather robust mountain lion population living in that area and that they've evolved to live in Prides of

sorts Sim similar to those of African Lions and we would see lots of tracks too including cougar Bobcat coyote and Bear Tracks not to mention scat wolves have also made their way back down into Northern Colorado as well and there's a known pack not too far away from there the town of James itself originally called Jim toown after Jim Smith an early Pioneer is an old gold mining town and modern home to the Merkin till Cafe a super cool bar and restaurant features delicious Home-cooked meals and live music almost every night of the week dogs

and roving packs of wild mountain children roam the streets and the river flows right through a picturesque Mountain Park smack in the middle of town Jamestown is about 30 minutes Northwest of Boulder and the bar is may be about 7 to 10 Mi west of that but on to the story which will be from se's perspective then follow up with p's two cents it was late one night that P and And I decided to hike up the Canyon from Jamestown to the property as it were to pay our friend Jay a surprise visit well we

got up there and Jay was already asleep in bed with his lady so we felt pretty foolish and started making our way back down the canyon only we thought we'd take a shortcut back through the cliffs it was quite dark and we didn't have any flashlights but there was just enough Moonlight to got our way it was deathly quiet and I figured there Must be a big cat or maybe even a bear stalk around but we didn't pay it much mind the wildlife here is rather reticent and it's typically only young cats that will attack

then run away as they're just learning to interact with the environment around them but that's when we heard a very peculiar sound it sounded like bones breaking like these really loud snapping and popping sounds I looked around but couldn't see Anything and again I figured it must be a cougar enjoying the bloody spoil of her late night hunt we kept going maybe another 50 yards into the central Cliff section and were discussing whether to go right or left around the central spires when something caught my eye there were these two yellow lights a good 100

yards or so down the goie to the left and at first I thought it was two hikers or maybe Forest strangers out looking for us this would be pretty Random though I thought as although you're but a Stones Throw from Civilization by car this is a truly remote and isolated location suddenly a sound I can only describe as a guttural roar erupted up the Gully shattering the Eerie silence and shaking me to my core I felt paralyzed with shock and fear and I could literally feel the vibrations penetrate my body P snapped me out of

my trance grabbing me by the back of my Shirt and pulling me back up around to the right of the spes what the heck was that I whispered shakily I don't know man we need to build a fire fast P was already Gathering small twigs and sticks raking his hands through the dirt building a crude pile of leaves and small sticks and things like that I began grabbing some larger sticks and branches while PE at the pile with his lighter blowing gently to stoke the small nent flame I Was nervously checking over my shoulder and

I thought I saw something moving in the shadows but I couldn't really tell if it was just my mind playing tricks on me come on put those sticks here like this P began building a teepee around the still smoldering brush pile we both began blowing on it and before long the fire sprung to life just then we were hit with a smell that reminded me of dog scat that's been left to sit out in the sun for too long We kept blowing on the fire adding more and more larger sticks anything we could find the

Flames were Rising Higher and Higher and sap fueled Sparks were flying off and into the night around us I felt the hairs on the back of my neck stand up and I grabbed a burning Branch whipping it around only to see these two yellow eyes glaring back at me this thing was only about 20 yards out now and the eyes were a solid 8 ft off the ground it was just staring at me but I Could sense a highly evolved sense of intelligence and its gaze that and a piercing spiteful malice you could almost feel

the pure unadulterated hatred emanating off of this thing that's when I heard what sounded like a branch breaking behind us we whipped around to see another pair of yellow eyes behind us the two sets of eyes started moving counterclockwise around the outer rim of light cast from the now burning fire P Was frantically throwing more and more fodder on the fire and I was low-key nervous about starting a forest fire I was running around the fire with my make shift torch but the light It cast was weak at best we heard or rather felt another

earpiercing Roar which almost knocked me to the ground this time followed by a low wolf-like growl then there was a deep huffing sound before the eyes seemed to peel off into the darkness we heard heavy bipedal Footfall fading away up the mountain Canyon we continued throwing dried out Timber onto the fire until the wee hours of the morning when I think we may have actually dozed off we got up and kicked a bunch of rocks and dirt onto the fire and boy when I tell you we straight up sprinted down the canyon back into town

where we hopped in my truck which had coincidentally been broken into by a bear because I was an idiot and had left A freshly caught brck trout in there we drove our Tails back down to Gold Hill end of the encounter on to P's 2 cents we were obviously very curious as to just what we had encountered that night this was back before the days of Reddit and all those YouTube horror channels but when we did Google it we kept seeing the same thing pop up over and over again Dogman the name itself sounded sort

of silly to me as it invokes an image of Some sort of halfman half dog monstrosity with a human face and dog ears or something like that reminiscent of Stanley Kubrick's The Shining if you know you know whereas whatever we had encountered was clearly a true apex predator nothing funny about it and ultimately we didn't even really see it we just saw the eyes so there's really no telling what it was to be fair it could have been a bear for all we Knew but there are no bears in this region that are that big

and aggressive or that have glowing yellow eyes like that at least not that I'm aware of anyway these beasts are entities whatever you want to call them seem to be more territorial than anything and I'm guessing that we aren't their natural prey though there are a staggering number of missing persons reports in the Colorado Rockies heck the American West in general and there's got To be something behind it right the hunt in the woods from the huntress wolf in Missouri there are loads of wooded areas you can hunt in I'm a Hunter at the age

of 22 and I will always remember this horrific event I had asked my parents if I could go hunting with my uncle they agreed so I packed my hunting gear in my truck and drove over to my uncle's house the drive Was about 3 hours long as soon as I got there my two friends rukie and Luna were waiting for me they had been talking to my uncle hey sport you all set to go my uncle smiled as I got my hunting gear from the truck ready as I'll ever be I answered back all four

of us got in the hunting truck my uncle owned at the time and we drove off into his property his property is a huge piece of land mostly a wooded area you could see Trees for miles and miles as we drove my friends and and I discussed ex-boyfriends and drama and soon we arrived at the hunting spot my uncle got out and told us all right Luna and I will go north rukie and Ash you two go west and my uncle looked at us seriously do not get separated all right these Woods are dangerous when

nightfalls we all nodded and we went in our respective directions I couldn't help but think Think that my uncle knew something about these Woods he always told us that warning every time rukie and I kept walking soon setting up camp among the trees I had with me a Rifle and Pistol and rukie had his nine gauge and a small pistol just in case we sat and waited as the sun began to go down suddenly from the dark I heard a branch snap I thought it was my uncle coming to Check on us but what I

heard next sent shivers down my spine a deafening howl coming from right behind us only 10 ft away or so Ash you heard that right rukie asked as he held his nine gauge in his hands yeah yeah I heard it I replied holding my rifle close as the sound of heavy footsteps got closer and closer we aimed our guns in the direction of the noise from the dark I saw what looked to be a bear but Bears don't make that kind Of howl I fired the first shot then whatever it was screamed in pain it

wasn't enough to kill it but it was enough to tee it off we looked at each other and ran we soon heard it behind us chasing us I whistled the kind of whistle my uncle had taught me whenever I was in trouble or needed help if we were far away at the same time I heard rukie taking two shots at the thing behind us before reloading his nine gauge when my eyes adjusted I turned Around as I ran getting a better look at our pursuer it looked like a person with the wolf skull but the

way it moved and looked everywhere else I couldn't tell if it was man or something else two more gunshots rang out hitting the creature in the head and in the chest it was my uncle and Luna I remember thinking this couldn't be real whatever this creature was had taken multiple shots and was not slowing down we made it back to the Truck and after we climbed in the creature jumped onto it as we drove away we managed to shake the creature off it rolled onto the ground howling again as soon as we made it back

to the house we locked all the doors every window and even the basement my uncle called a Cherokee friend that lived down the road for help he said that we should not leave the house until morning we went into our rooms and fell Into light scared Slumber when the next day came our Cherokee friend came by performing a blessing ritual on us and the house what do you think it was my uncle asked his friend as he gave an odd look something whose name we cannot speak that gave me Shivers at the time I remember

thinking it was a werewolf but the thought of something like a windigo or Skinwalker being in Missouri that's creepy never go into the woods alone or Unarmed I hit the dog man from o Montana I was never a firm believer in the Paranormal but I've always loved listening to people's strange encounters after this I can no longer doubt my belief in things that can't be explained this is my bone chilling experience this story happened in 2020 during the pandemic as everyone knows the world shut down and everyone and everything went on lockdown as for me

I got a lot of time To practice what I love and that is baseball I live in Montana around Glacier National Park I was 17 at the time and to put it into perspective I'm 6'4 and have a good build but I'm a gentle giant and I get paranoid rather easily I know right big guy that gets scared that's me now I have a huge backyard and 78 Acres of dense forest in those Acres there's a shooting range some ATV trails and a small Creek I'm not a stranger to Being outside and exploring the woods

one day while at around 4ish I was out riding my ATV on one of the trails we'd made suddenly I saw something Dart from the corner of my eye as I turned around to bend I slowed my ATV down and I looked in the direction that I saw the movement I then noticed the only sound I heard was my ATV so me being a curious fellow I turned off my ATV and listened it was dead silent out there I swear even the forest itself was on mute that's when I heard it footsteps crunching leaves and

sticks these were slow and heavy footsteps I could tell it was deliberately trying to be quiet then no later than 5 seconds after I turned off the ATV the footsteps stopped growing up outdoors and in the woods when it goes dead silent like that when not even the bugs are heard that means something dangerous is on the prow my mind began to race as I realized There was a predator around here somewhere and that I needed to leave after all there are bears in my area and we've seen plenty of them on our property I

was not in the mood at the time to deal with one right as I was about to turn the key to my ATV and started up I heard a singular tongue click sound as if whatever it was was trying to get my attention heck no I muttered as I turned The key and sped away from there as fast as the ATV could go but sadly that was only the beginning of my experience I sped home and ran straight inside telling my mom who was cooking dinner at the time she paused and looked at me with

the most confused look on her face I knew she didn't believe me but I asked what it could have been there was no way a bear made that tongue clicking sound and walked on what sounded like 2 feet my mom brushed it off saying maybe It was just my imagination or maybe it was an exhaust pop from the ATV yeah I guess maybe I said even though I knew that was not an exhaust pop a couple of days later later I stopped thinking about the entire thing a few weeks went by without any problems until

one day while I was outside with my German Shepherd Rusty playing some baseball with him around dusk I hit a baseball into the woods and he went to fetch it to bring it back to me however He stopped dead in his tracks and began to stare into the woods I saw his ears starting to Twitch I was confused at this sudden Behavior so I called his name about four times times but he didn't budge he stood there still staring at something in the forest then here's where it gets crazy he suddenly backed up real slow

and starts to growl bearing his teeth and snarling and barking and just going straight up berserk he's a family dog That has been with us for many years and not once has he ever acted like this my mind was in a panic because I'm like oh crap he just teed off something possibly a bear I start to run over to him making really loud noises to see if I could scare off this bear or whatever it was that's when it jumps out at Rusty I must have been 30 ft from Rusty at this point and

I was dumbfounded horrified the creature that jumped out was like another German Shepherd but Twice his size it had dark brown fur it had the head of a German Shepherd but its eyes were bloodshot and they were glaring at me its legs were all bent backward it had human hands with claws that looked like daggers it stood about 6t tall and it seemed extremely skinny as if it was malnourished instantly I knew from the stories I had heard that this was a dog man or werewolf it completely turned its Attention from Rusty to me and

started to growl slowly creeping towards me my heart hit rock bottom my whole body just went numb my instincts screamed at me to run and I suddenly had the biggest adrenaline boost ever but I was not about to let my dog get absolutely shredded to pieces I've heard about the damage they can do to deer and animals it charged at me then snarling and covering 15 ft in what seemed to be Only two steps this Beast was filled with such rage and hatred desperate and in a panic I swung the metal bat I still had

in my hand as hard as I possibly could it connected with the thing's face when I hit that dog man or werewolf thing I knew I'd racked up something in its head I heard a loud clink as it staggered backward and almost fell completely over then Rusty went for it biting at its arm as it let out a small how With a quick and Powerful smack Rusty was sent flying several feet in the opposite direction my heart pounded seeing Rusty on the ground I felt scared but also angry now I swung the bat again connecting

once more but leaving a noticeable dent in the bat I swung again and this time I swear I dislocated the thing's jaw it tried to snarl at me again but this time a weird sound came out of its mouth the best way I can describe it was a drunk growl it even Seemed surprised that it sounded different it paused and had a humanoid look of confusion on its face as it shook its head realizing the damage then its bloodshot eyes stared right into my soul and I saw the rage only build up more inside of

it I knew my metal bat would not be a match for it anymore I raised it up again to swing but thank the heavens above there was a gunshot the Beast was hit by a 30 caliber round from my dad's custom hunting rifle I Snapped my head back toward the house to see my mother with the rifle in her hands aiming another round as she screamed to get back she fired again hitting the creature in its leg it howled a painful forced howl as it turned around and ran back into the forest I sprinted over

to Rusty picking up the huge dog and running back to the house with my mother scanning the tree line as she did she backed up into the house with me we got inside and locked All the doors and windows she runs up to me hugging and kissing my face praising the Lord I was okay she admitted she saw the whole thing then ran and grabbed my dad's rifle out of the gun safe she then ran outside just in time to shoot it she turned to Rusty and told me to examine him while she kept watching

the tree line she had the gun at the ready Rusty had no major injuries thank goodness there was a cut on his shoulder and that was about it we called the Police and told them about everything that happened I broke down letting all my emotions flow freely and to our surprise they explained they'd been getting calls about this weird dog that had been running around town lately we called my dad and explained the whole thing he ended up leaving work early to come home to be safe we stayed at a relative's place for a while

and we ended up selling that house which was honestly Quite sad but maybe it was the right thing to do due to the experience we moved closer to town I'm now positive that things exist that we don't fully understand so everyone listening please be careful if you live next to the woods there are things in there that are not bears and they will not hesitate to end you werewolf waits for me from Anonymous it happened about 10 years ago when I was 13 hunting season had just started in Central Missouri my dad and I had

left the house to go hunting and he told me to watch and make sure our dog wasn't let back in the house and instead followed us when we left I looked back as he asked but as I did I saw a doglike figure run across the road from the field in front of our house I didn't really think much about this though we had a Creek in our backyard and we'd often see coyotes at It fast forward to that night we didn't see any deer so we had nothing to bring home I went to sleep

that day disappointed as any country boy would do after waiting all day in a deer stand without seeing any deer at around 1:30 a.m. I woke up our dog was scratching at the back door when I let him in I saw his tail tucked between his legs and I saw something else then too a doglike creature at the tree line it was the same shape and Outline as the coyote that I saw earlier but now I got a good look at it thanks to the full moon it was definitely the same size as what I

saw that morning but bizarrely enough there was what looked to be torn up cloth on its body it had black fur and piercing red eyes I could feel it staring right into my soul then I watched it stand up on two legs before it howled at an alarming speed it turned around and ran away I could have sworn when it got on top of Our sledding hill I saw it turn around again look at me and grin after that night I never saw it again and I didn't share this experience with anyone my parents were

the type after all that always found a simple explanation for everything I did see signs of it though like a scratch Mark 10 ft up a tree and a set of tracks that started on all fours and cross the creek before continuing on Two every now and then I hear a how too I want to say I was scared but really I felt calm it gave me a feeling like I knew it that it wouldn't hurt me update I've begun sharing this story around the campfire is a Campfire story so as to not sound crazy

and I would tell it in third person not long after that I ended up finding out that my dad saw it too he was working in the field late on a night with the full moon Moon He then saw this thing on a hill howling at the moon this startled him as he was quite a ways away from our house after that our dog became an inside dog though I had a feeling the thing wouldn't have hurt him as he wouldn't have hurt me then again who can say for sure followed by a werewolf from

Peak this story took place last year I live in a small town near a national Park I've been there all my life and probably won't be leaving anytime soon the same can't be said for my friends though who went out into the big city when it was time for college now I also went to college but to a town not too far from where I live it would take me about half an hour to get there by bus two of my friends the ones who are involved with this story went out to the capital city

of my state and lived there in Flats since the ride There would take them more than 4 hours every day I soon dropped out since the college life wasn't really for me but my friends stayed when they eventually had some free time for the holidays about 2 to 3 weeks one of them proposed the idea that we go camping since we all haven't seen each other for quite some time I'm not really an outdoors person but I said why not and I decided to join them one of my friends Mike I was really Close with

we used to hang out every day before he moved and we always played video games together with the other friend however Gabe I wasn't really that close I did know him from primary school but I didn't really talk to him much we would chat here and there when we were in a group chat or on Discord but nothing outside of those interactions originally there were supposed to be four of us but one person declined so it was just us Three Mike and Gabe were pretty good friends though so I wasn't worried that it would get

Awkward on our trip anyway we would be staying for 3 Days on one of gab's family members properties the dude was rich what can I say after we were done preparing we set off the trip there would be long we were driving from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. but we had a pretty good time those 3 hours flew by pretty fast when we finally arrived gab's uncle was there to greet Us he was the one who owned the property the property was a big forest and which his uncle and his buddies would sometimes hunt his

uncle said the forest was pretty safe that he had never encountered any dangerous animals when he was hunting now how Gabe talked him into letting three 18-year-olds go there unsupervised and how he thought that was a good idea I don't know but I wasn't complaining his uncle then led us into the forest we Followed we walked on a dirt path through the forest for about 10 to 15 minutes then we went off the trail to where our camping spot would be however a few minutes after we left the trail I got this feeling like somebody

was watching me I just brushed it off that is until I saw something moving out of the corner of my eye it looked like something black was running through the forest but since no one else seemed to have seen it I didn't speak up Probably just my imagination I said to myself after another few minutes of walking we made it to a small clearing where we'd be camping after the uncle showed us around the spot he went back onto the trail and out of the forest we began setting up our tents pretty soon after that

but that would prove to be quite a challenge considering none of us had ever set them up before outside of me going camping a Few times before with my family this was basically everyone's first camping trip like this and as a note I had never set up a tent myself that job had always fallen on my dad on our family trips after we somehow managed to get everything set up we ended up chatting and joking around for a while that's when Mike said let's go explore around the forest I want to see what's out there

yeah but what if we get lost I jokingly Replied it'll be fine we won't go far we can just go in One Direction so we don't get lost if you want Mike insisted and so we started to explore going deeper and deeper into the forest it wasn't really all that special everywhere we looked was just trees and bushes after about 10 minutes of walking in a straight line we noticed that some of the trees had weird markings on them some had weird symbols carved into them others just had big scratch Marks we were all getting

bad vibes from it but Gabe said that they were probably some kind of Hunter marks since his uncle and his friends used to hunt around here that put our minds to rest even though deep down we all knew it probably wasn't the case when we began walking back to our campsite I got a strange feeling that same feeling I felt when we went off the trail earlier with gab's Uncle I felt Like I was being watched I began to look around us but the only thing I saw were trees and Tall Grass we did later

see a deer on our way back which was kind of nice after we arrived back at our campsite we started building a campfire as it was getting dark then we took out our food supplies and beer and started to cook while we were eating and enjoying ourselves Mike suddenly stopped and Hushed us he then told us both to look where he was now pointing Gabe and I turned our heads in the direction of his finger we soon saw what he was pointing at about 300 to 400 ft away there was something behind a line of

trees we couldn't quite see what it was the only thing we could see was the color black similar to what I saw when we were walking with gab's Uncle after we stared at it for a while The thing moved farther away and we could no longer make it out what was that Gabe asked I don't know maybe it was your Uncle Mike answered back trying to explain what we saw well I think I saw the same thing when we were still with his uncle so it probably wasn't him maybe it's some kind of deer I

added uh do solid black deer even exist Mike asked with a puzzled look on his face how do we know it's not a wolf or a bear or something like That the evening soon turned into US bickering about the thing we just saw and the conversation ended on it being a black deer satisfied with that answer Mike soon went to sleep as it was already night and we were all exhausted from the car ride and the hike we had to do to get here Gabe and I stayed awake for a while longer but he too

soon went to sleep I couldn't really sleep because I kept thinking about what we saw and About those weird markings on the trees but soon enough sleep got me too after I don't know how long I was awakened by a large thud near my tent I zipped open my tent to see what it was and I saw something terrifying on the ground near our campfire lay a dismembered corpse of a deer with both front legs missing and a big chunk taken out of its neck the stench was unbearable soon both Mike and Gabe woke Up

too only to be met with the same sight about 20 ft next to it there was something else something standing in the darkness from what we could tell it looked to be about 8 ft tall and had these shining eyes like animals do we were all standing there in silence in shock none of us knew what that was or what just happened after we locked eyes with this beast in the shadows it let out the scariest blood curdling Roar I've ever Heard we ditch all our stuff there and we started running in pure Darkness hoping

to find the trail and to escape after running for a good while we finally found the exit out of the forest we climbed into our car and drove off at the speed of light as we were about to leave I looked back into the woods there at the start of the trail were two glowing green eyes looking back I have no idea what that creature was or what it wanted it didn't want to Kill us since if it wanted to do that it probably could have done so a number of times before we escaped my

best guess is that it just wanted us out of there after the event I heard from Mike that Gabe tried telling his uncle what happened but he didn't believe him and blamed it on alcohol even though we only drank one bottle each Our Lives returned to normal and we frequently talk about it none of us know what it was but one Thing's for sure we're never going camping there again hunted by a werewolf from Eli a I've never felt like I was enough it's the same story you've probably heard from so many others before me

when I was presented with what I wanted to do with my life versus what I should probably do with my life I decided to go the route of joining the rat race because it meant food on the table and the slim chance of Having enough income to fund what I really wanted to do too bad there's absolutely no sculpting work in Cheyenne Colorado which is where I'm from being enrolled at the laramy community college with an accounting major certainly isn't something that's filling the missing part of myself that seems to keep growing every day neither

is being stuck driving for Uber to pay for it all knowing that money could go towards materials a promoter or fees to have my Work featured at Expose over in Denver but is instead going towards tuition books and whatever new software program my professors make us buy which are only ever used for one semester and never touched again it kills me inside especially if it means dealing with all the nonsense I face every day at work whether it's rude customers unprompted one-star ratings or people leaving garbage in my car I question why I decided to

make driving strangers my Means for getting through college in the first place for every Pleasant conversation or good joke I get about 30 of the aforementioned instances and then some one night no matter how much Z equil I took it was impossible for me to sleep I guess I once again threw myself into another one of my existential spirals where I began to ask myself over and over if I would ever be where I wanted to be in life I know we've all had those moments but mine seem to get Uglier and uglier the older

I get for those of you who don't know when you drive for Uber you're given the option of participating in a promotion each week for instance if you make 50 trips you're given 200 bucks or if you drive 70 trips you make 300 bucks and so on that night as I lay awake in bed knowing I was only a good five trips away from making an extra 350 bucks I figured I could get up get those rides in and maybe even take a few days off Lord Knows waking up at 4:00 a.m. every morning makes

you appreciate that on a level you never had before with that I grabbed my keys and headed out to work fast forward 3 and a half hours later I was in the middle of taking my last customer of the night to his Mountainside cabin having picked him up from Denver on one hand I hated these trips because they always took you far out and away from literally everywhere else on the other hand they were always A guaranteed Hefty fair plus usually there was a darn good tip if only I had half the dough these cabin

owners had plus they were great for turning your brain off and enjoying the drive since you wouldn't be on the busy city streets but tonight that meant another existential crisis in the form of picturing everyone from high school being in better places than me actually having moved on and out of Cheyenne thank God the trip was almost Over so I could try and blast some music to drown out my thoughts I dropped off my customer who generously gave me a $30 cash tip upon receiving it I had to promise myself not to blow half of

it on lotto tickets again I said good night and put in the directions back home that zql may have kicked in later than it should have and it may have been 3:00 in the morning but at least I made my promotion and I had a tank's worth of gas money in my pocket I Looked out the window at the full moon then below at the city lights in the distance and at the miles of woods that surrounded me I thought to myself if I had to be stuck in some backwoods town with a four-digit population

at least it's one is gorgeous as this driving down a mountain when your eyelids feel like they're 100 lb each it's a position you don't want to find yourself in unless you want to unintentionally give into that urge to Jump when you're standing on the edge of a cliff but a roll of the window is always just the trick for me I look down for literally 1 second to find the window switch and crash I screamed from the sudden noise and the simultaneous thud I saw a large mass roll away from the front of my

car at immeasurable speed stopping in the middle of the road I took a second to collect myself at that moment I thanked my lucky stars that I had full coverage on my car after Taking a second to breathe I came to the realization that whatever I hit was probably dead judging from its lack of movement figuring leaving a dead deer in the middle of a downward Mountain Road could mean life or death for a different driver I got out of the car to drag it off the road after briefly analyzing the damage to my bumper

and Hood I turned to move the deer to the side of the road at about 30 ft away I thought to myself good thing I'm moving this guy I Can barely see it from here as I walked I took notice of something this deer looked to have black fur nothing unheard of I thought nothing I'd ever personally seen before but surely it wasn't an impossibility at 20 ft away I be began to understand that this was not a deer this animal was absolutely massive judging it from that distance all splay out on the ground as

it was it could easily clock in at 7 or 8 ft in length Is it a grizzly bear I wondered to myself a really dark furred grizzly bear that had to be what I hit I've never once heard of a grizzly bear encounter in Colorado 10 ft away I could see scraggly fur and pointed ears this wasn't a bear either so what the heck did I hit then I saw it move I stopped this creature got up as if from waking up from a long nap showing no physical evidence of getting hit by a 2,000lb

Vehicle at 30 mph it stood up on its hind legs and faced me I know I'm not crazy the full moon was out on a cloudless night this was not a case of me seeing things what stared me down was 8 ft tall with blood red eyes and teeth and Claws that would put a grizzly bears to shame my heart felt as if it stopped we both just stood there Frozen in time then it hit me there's no way no way in the world I was looking at what I Thought I was looking at if

what I was thinking was true I began to wonder how we were treating these things as mere Legends all this time I refused to believe that what I was looking at was actually there but that didn't change the fact that it was there were so many unnatural things about this creature from standing on paws like a wolf but wielding arms like a man but Above All Else the Beast looked so demonic the craz look in its beady eyes and the way It snarled with a twisted face an expression of such malice it just made it

seem like something someone would only see in Hell itself I instinctively uttered Jesus Christ the Beast instinctively blinked I foolishly wondered if perhaps like with demonic possession the uttering of Jesus's name would be enough to wart off the creature just above a whisper I say Jesus again I had visualized what would happen so easily it would Grimace shake its head then just run off into the woods but I was dead wrong instead I swear that thing smiled at me the most hideous and deranged smile I've ever seen or ever will see as if it was

amused by the name slowly I took a step back keeping eye contact I'd recalled this from my time spent at summer camp when I was a kid keep eye contact and don't break Into a run and panic the creature mirrored my actions taking a step towards me I took two steps back it took two steps forward then I got an idea I took a step to the side and two steps back but the creature just took two steps forward drool dripping from its fangs then I gathered the courage and took one step forward and the

creature didn't move then I turned and sprinted to the car hearing massive footsteps sprinting Behind me what happened next only took maybe 3 seconds to transpire but it felt as if an eternity passed as I was 20 ft away from the car its steps were loud and Powerful I could feel the the Earth shaking beneath its feet at 10 ft away the power in its step was cut in half but its speed had tripled as I heard it drop from two legs to four 5 ft away I stick my arm out to close the car

door which thank God I left it open I could feel hot breath on the back of my neck I Forced myself to ignore the sense of smell with the strong stinch of Carion protruding from behind its teeth I jumped into my car slamming the door shut and locking it but the Beast was so close to me I slammed its muzzle before closing the door and it didn't like that not one bit I only realized the true Terror of what happened next later on the creature trying to open my door with the handle the fact that

I was facing a creature With such strength speed and senses now paired with the sentience of a man would later make my blood run cold it punched its massive clawed fist through the window breaking it I shifted into drive and floored the gas pedal almost causing my transmission to slip I screeched away from the creature more shaken up than I've ever been my entire life I've had to hide in my cellar from tornadoes when I was a kid and I've had a close encounter with a child predator but Nothing has left my core as brittle

as this as I sped away I thought I was safe but I was dead wrong I looked in the rearview mirror and saw two glowing red eyes following me this monster was still chasing me on all fours it had no problem keeping up I pressed harder on the gas going 60 now I flashed back to hearing about a classmate in high school who died in a crash after going 50 on a downward mountains Side Road the Beast went from directly behind my car to Right next to me I was going 70 then I sped up

to 80 and it still showed no difficulty keeping up with me it was so close to me now with no glass window any longer to offer even the most pathetic and ineffective barrier between me and it I saw those red eyes up close I'm not sure if it was anger hatred or hunger that was behind those eyes but whatever it was I was sure it was evil I knew I had to focus on the road going down a mountain side at 80 mph was Practically guaranteed death so I knew I needed to focus I was

cautious and crept up to 90 but the Beast kept up granted it looked like it was taking an effort to do so but nothing that wasn't doable for this monster the trees and the Rocks were flying past me then I swear if I'd let this monster startle me in any way and have my arms Twitch in reaction I would have flown off the edge of that mountain the road began to curve to the left I Had to slow down if I didn't I would certainly die I had no choice but to push down on the

break the Beast caught up again and began to snap its jaws through the window its viscous drool flying into my face with each Chomp then a miracle before I had time to even mentally process that it was there an 18-wheel semit TR appeared it was passing through the oncoming Lane previously hidden by the curve of the mountain side the Beast noticed and Moved away as much as it could but we were both going so fast It could only go so far it slowed down and moved a bit to the right but the truck hit it

I watched it launched into the air like a ragd doll I gave a nervous laugh of relief if given more time to actually let everything that happened sink in I would have cried I thought to myself that this would make a heck of a story to tell a story that little did I know at the time had hardly Begun a few minutes passed and while I may have lost the creature I was still driving way too fast down the mountain to avoid any chance of it catching up unfortunately I had forgotten about a really deep

looking puddle that I remembered spotting on the way up the mountain before I knew it water shot up from the sides of my car and any control I had was lost I crashed into the metal barrier and by some work of God I was going slow enough that I didn't end up Catapulting myself over the edge of the mountain after collecting myself for what felt like the mil milth time in the past half hour I knew that my car was definitely screwed now judging by all the warning lights that went off I got out of

my car and didn't even bother to look at the damage I took out my phone screenshotting my coordinates and figured I'd call my insurance company tomorrow I looked at how far away I was from my house and to my surprise I was Only a 5 mile walk away from my own place I lived right at the edge of the woods that I was standing right in front of so so I made the decision to walk home I just wanted to keep moving get home as soon as possible rather than wait around in my car for

a tow truck playing with the chance of that creature finding me again so into the woods I went 2 hours later I had about a mile to a mile and a half left a walking before I had reached my house I was still Having trouble comprehending everything that went down on that mountain was I understanding this right where w Wes are real why did it want to kill me so bad is that trucker that hit it okay questions I could only ask myself every 20 minutes or so if I thought about them for too long

then every sound I heard in the distance would have my heart beating out of my chest all over again I decided that what's over is over and that I would focus my thoughts on literally Anything else so I began to think about which TV dinner I would heat up when I got home Lord knows know I wouldn't be able to sleep as I walked I noticed something the Crickets owls and every other woodland animal went completely silent all at once the other takeaway I got from summer camp Came Crashing Down on me if everything just

went silent there's a good chance that means a predator is Nearby then I heard it the sound that will haunt my nightmares for the rest of my life the loudest most Unholy howl echoed through the woods this was nothing like any wolf howl or even those found in your typical werewolf movies this sounded so unnatural so pained almost as if the Beast had taken a spear to the heart I stopped dead in my tracks feeling my heart sink into my stomach while doing so because that howl didn't sound very far Away I Stood Still for

a moment then without thinking I just took off into a run back on the Mountain everything happened so fast and so suddenly I didn't have time to process everything that went down I was numbed with the adrenaline combined with figh ORF flight Instinct but now that I'd calmed down at least some and I knew that it was approaching my mind began to run along with me it had found me it had survived a hit from a semi Tru and it found me it Must have caught my scent and went out of its way to hunt

me down another howl so much closer then even with thick Woods to navigate through and an infinite number of low hanging branches to dodge this monster was making serious ground at an alarming rate one second I was running the next I was on my back blood dripping down my face it took a second for me to comprehend what happened in the haze I was in but I quickly figured out I'd run straight Into one of the lower hanging branches I slowly got up things were quiet but not as quiet as before I looked to my

side there was a waterfall maybe 30 ft in height about 10 ft from me and a rather rapidly flowing river at the bottom of it for a second the broken silence calmed me down then I heard a deep and guttural growl if pure malice and malevolence could be brought to life through sound that's exactly what I heard and it wasn't a short growl Lasting a second or two no this went on for what felt like minutes growing more and more more aggressive I knew that running was no longer an option I only had two realistic

ways out of this jump down into the river or climb up the tree that just knocked me down I had no idea how deep the river was but if it was too shallow or if I jumped and landed funnily I knew 30 ft would mess me up bad enough that I would have no chance of making it out of the woods alive with That I jumped as high as I could grabbing a branch above the one I ran into and pulling myself up immediately after doing so the Beast leapt out and would have tackled me

on the spot if IID waited any longer I started to climb the tree praying all the while that this thing wouldn't follow me up how wrong I was with absolute ease the creature began climbing following me up the tree it moved slower when climbing so I did have More of a chance of getting away but it was still way faster than I could go I looked down at it and saw it was closing in on me I saw bits of fabric hanging from its teeth and prayed that that wasn't from the trucker out in the

open with no car flight was no longer a viable option then I sprouted quite possibly the craziest idea I've ever had with no more than a second's worth of planning I jumped off the branch I was on pulling my knees in as close to my Chest as possible then at the last second I shot my legs out as straight and as fast as I could right before I would have landed on the creature somehow despite it outweighing me at least 3 to one I was able to knock it out of the tree the thing tumbled

to the ground and rolled right off the cliff into the Rapids down below miraculously I was able to grab onto a branch after kicking it to avoid the same fate getting my hands covered in tree sap the Water below was moving so fast I only caught a glimpse of it being Swept Away in the distance I let go of the branch coming down much harder than anticipated hard enough that I felt it in my stomach but my only goal was to get the heck out of there as soon as possible so that's what I did

I pressed forward traumatized to the point of mental and emotional numbness the Beast may have been gone but everything about it was still haunting Me right on down to the darkest deepest corners of my Psy every sound I heard was a howl every little reflection of light was those ungodly eyes even the memory of the wkak of its breath had made permanent resonance in my nostrils after what felt like an eternity to my feet yet only a minute to my mind I made it out of the woods and there it was home even the immovable

feelings of misery and dissatisfaction that plagued me in that house during the Waking hours of the day were completely non-existent then and in their place stood sanctuary and safety the fall from the branch from before left my ankle sore so I shambled into my house as quickly as my entry allowed now there's a field between my house and the woods that stretches about a half a football field I was maybe 3/4 of the way there when I felt it at that point it was unmistakable in hindsights maybe I had heard footsteps before but I'll never

Know for sure when I turned around there it was standing on its hind legs I saw how heavy it was breathing even from that distance that I was at it was then that I knew that this creature did not seek me for Hunger but out of hatred just as before before we just stood there only for a moment this time it made the first move dropping onto all fours and running as quickly as it could towards me I still believe when writing this that the adrenaline that exploded Inside me at that moment was enough to

suppress the injury I sustained not even an hour ago and it was nothing short of divine intervention I ran to my back door the Beast was practically on top of me in no time I knew my door was locked but I also knew where the key was hidden I ran up to the door and picked up the potted plant next to the door I know it's not the smartest place to keep your spare key but in a small town like this there Really wasn't much need for top-of-the line security I knew I wouldn't have time

to unlock the door so I did something which may have turned out to be a mistake it was either be torn to pieces or get mad so I chose the ladder I took the pot and threw it straight at the monster's face by then it was only 10 ft from me so it was by no means a lucky shot it definitely wasn't expecting it it whipped back after impact I used the precious seconds I had Now while it was stunned to get inside my house I turned around beginning to close the door I got it

just 3 in from closing when something began to push on it from outside that creature was Far stronger than me it was able to inch the door open against me I knew that I couldn't win this I took the chain lock and right in the nick of time I was able to latch it onto the keeper stopping the door from inching any farther the Beast however wasted no time it used the Entire mass of its body to bang against the door the first hitch shook the dust from the top of the door frame the second

one made the keeper on the wall loosen between that and its next hit I closed the door and locked it it hit against the door a third time but nothing happened fourth hit nothing after a fifth and unsuccessful hit head the onslaught stopped I dared not look out the window to see if it had given up the mere sight of me just seemed to Anger the creature I made my way upstairs to the second floor to peek out the window behind the curtains of my bedroom halfway up I nearly had a heart attack a loud

crash penetrated the short-lived silence in the air the darn thing must have burst through my kitchen window with no time to recover from the Fright I ran up the stairs and into my room where I kept my 38 Special revolver for home defense I made it to my room closed and locked the door then I Hurried to my bedside table drawer and pulled out my gun after turning off the safety I checked and it was loaded I heard all sorts of furniture crashing and glass breaking downstairs I figured if that's keeping it content for now

so be it but of course it didn't it came for one thing and that seemed to be me I heard it slowly stomp its way up my stairs I could tell it was on its hind legs then judging by the speed and weight at which it was moving memories Of me cowering at the very thought of the boogeyman when I was a kid came rushing back to me as I now hid in my room trembling on the verge of tears and fear it broke down the door to my study room trashing it much like it

did downstairs then the bathroom door was broken it knew I was up here I knew that even with all six rounds a creature that big and that ferocious would not easily be taken down and with the way it seemed to just brush off Getting hit by a car launched by a semi-truck and falling down a cliff and into rapid Waters six little bullets at best could briefly incapacitate it I guessed I knew I was dead this thing was going to knock down every door to find me if I was lucky I'd get in four maybe

five shots before it ripped me me apart then I remembered my room was directly above the steel Cellar Doors outside my home but if I did what I had in mind there truly would be no other Option left all I could do after that would be to pray that this Beast had had enough for the night and simply go away as it knocked down the door to my storage room I tucked the revolver between my belt and waist and opened my bedroom window I stuck my feet out first and dropped myself to the ground that

of adrenaline from earlier had long gone and my already messed up ankle got hurt even further I stumbled to my Cellar Doors and opened them I looked up seeing The Beast sticking its head out my window sniffing around it stopped then looked down spotting me with a Grizzly snarl it brandished bloody teeth I almost froze then it went back inside and I knew it was then or never I closed the cellar doors and locked them shut I could hear from outside side the creature burst through the window crashing down on the ground in front of

the cellar once again it began banging against the doors this Cellar was meant To withstand category 4 tornadoes but even those monstrous storms were natural I wish I could tell you how many times that thing bashed itself Against The Cellar Doors but I honestly lost track after 40 by then the doors had already began to bend that memory acts as my idea of hell a creature with nothing more than a hunger for your blood to be spilled slowly breaking its way into where you're hiding afraid knowing that it's a matter of time not a matter

of If suddenly there was a pause a minute passed and after having a second to figure out what to do with my fear I decided to heck with it I've never felt as if I'd done enough with my life and I decided then for once in my life I was going to take control and prove to myself that I had it in me to not let something keep me down I would take this quiet moment to catch the creature by surprise it seemed as if one of us had to die for this to end and

I was going To do whatever it took for that not to be me I burst open the Cellar Doors raising my gun ready to aim and ready to fire but the creature was gone I frantically looked around even back up in my bedroom window it wasn't there any longer then I noticed the Dawn had broke sweet sweet sunlight had started shining over the tops of the trees overtaking the Dark of the night a sight I truly never thought I'd ever see again I tumbled to the ground crying With relief I had survived that day I

took care of my car filing a home insurance claim too referring to the incident as a Breakin I checked myself into a hotel about a mile away from my house my house would be under repair for the next week so my insurance company provided free lodging while repairs were underway at the front desk the person working there asked me if it mattered where I stayed And his question made me wonder I asked if I could be put into a top floor room after assuring them that my ankle injury was nothing more than a sprain that

I would have no problem getting up there I made my way to my room where for the first time in years I had no trouble throwing myself in bed and going right to sleep sleep I woke up in the middle of the night I got up and looked out the window despite the long distance I was almost Certain that I saw a DOT moving around my house I Shrugged it off knowing there's no way to be certain what it was from that distance before I turned away I heard what could easily be mistaken as a

train whistle but I knew in my gut what that sound was that was a howl and almost as if to reassure me that it was a howl as as soon as I heard it the dot made its way back into the woods behind my house that was enough for me to start Looking at cheap out ofst State Apartments hopefully where this monster won't find me what was outside my tent from Veronica w i a 17-year-old girl living in southeast Pennsylvania but this happened just last summer while I was 16 I'd gotten a job at a

Scout summer camp and I'd already worked there for 2 weeks one night I'd been chilling with a friend let's call him will when someone walked Past and told him hey I saw the windigo tonight I glanced at will what's he mean will looked at me it's supposedly this creature that's been spotted a few times over at the OA Village it's about 9 to 10 ft tall covered in some type of white fur almost looks like some kind of bipedal deer man thing they say it runs real fast too people who have seen it usually run

away but the thing ends up just running into the woods it's like it's afraid of People I was pretty sure this was a joke that the older staff told because the way the other guy casually walked up and talked about it but I'm easily scared and I didn't dare go to my tent alone the female staff campsite was the closest to the sighting spot but I soon forgot about it as we moved into camper week 4 it was the first night of week four that things happened my troop had said good night and each went

to their tent My tent was on a trail leading out of the campsite and farthest from the group I fell asleep and I stayed asleep for a few hours but then I awoke and all I could hear was this steady breathing sound as if something had sat down next to me just outside the tent I stiffened Panic filling my mind I dared not move otherwise I'd risk alerting it but I wanted the adults nearby to help I didn't know what to do I even held my breath making sure that I wasn't just Hearing myself but

it was still there forcing myself to stay awake nearly drifting in and out of Consciousness I waited till sunrise and that thing stayed there until morning when I stopped hearing it breathing I waited for the others to wake up then I pulled on my clothes and dashed out of the tent they were surprised to see me as one of the first up I recalled what happened to another Scout who told me well I had to Ed the Bathroom last night my mom came with me and when we walked by your tent we both heard a

noise on the way back my heart sank I asked did you investigate they shook their heads I knew I couldn't sleep in that tent again so I moved into my dad's equipment tent nothing else happened until week six I was with the staff again and I enjoyed staying up talking to will but soon we walked to the bathrooms and parted ways I'd usually Find another girl going to the campsite but that night I didn't nervously I put my earbuds in playing some music that made me feel Brave I traveled down the hill and glanced over

at a climbing tower nearby it's light illuminated a rather large shape this shape was backlit and hunched over walking towards the shooting range the shape was like a Giant Beetle I could see that it had fur it was on all fours and it was about 5T tall I Could tell because the fence behind it was the same height panicking I froze watching this thing walking away from me once I couldn't discern its shape anymore I sprinted to my tent this time no one believed me that the creature they joked about I saw granted I hadn't

seen it very well they tried to reassure me that it was just someone else I was on edge the rest of the time I was at the Camp since that day I've been researching what creature it is the closest I've gotten to is a werewolf but it's still not exact I'm going back there this year to find out more and hopefully I don't die for knowing too much possible werewolf encounter in Jamestown Colorado collected by C Philly 100 first off I'd just like to say it's fascinating how many of these types of stories come out

of Colorado but I think The reasons for that are twofold one the high human population density living so close to vast Wilderness areas and two the percentage of that population whose hobbies and passions take them deep out into the back country of this beautiful wild state that is Colorado this story happened to two of my best friends C and P out on the old bar K Ranch where we all used to live up in Jamestown Colorado but don't be fooled by the name this isn't your grandfather's cattle Ranch no the old bar k covers thousands

of Acres of rugged Mountain terrain steep Rocky Cliffs and Jagged Granite spires like citadels or centries standing guard to either side of James Creek as it snakes its way down the unforgiving canyon it's such a wild place you can almost imagine the Native Americans living and hunting out here as truly very little has changed since then we used to have mock battles where upon we would try to sneak up on each other With snowballs which probably wasn't the wisest idea after all as we later spoke with a forest ranger who told us that there is

a rather robust mountain lion population living in that area and that they've evolved to live in Prides of sorts similar to those of African lions and we would see lots of tracks too including cougar Bobcat coyote and Bear Tracks not to mention scat wolves have also made their way back down into Northern Colorado as well And there's a known pack not too far away from there the town of James itself originally called Jim toown after Jim Smith and early Pioneer is an old gold mining town and modern home to the merkantil cafe a a super

cool bar and restaurant that features delicious home-cooked meals and live music almost every night of the week dogs and roving packs of wild mountain children roam the streets and the river flows right through a picturesque Mountain Park Smack in the middle of town Jamestown is about 30 minutes Northwest of Boulder and the bar is maybe about 7 to 10 Mi west of that but on to the story which will be from C's perspective then follow up with p's 2 cents it was late one night that P and I decided to hike up the Canyon from

Jamestown to the property as it were to pay our friend Jay a surprise visit well we got up there and Jay was already asleep in bed with his lady so We felt pretty foolish and started making our way back down the canyon only we thought we'd take a shortcut back through the cliffs it was quite dark and we didn't have any flashlights but there was just enough Moonlight to got our way it was deathly quiet and I figured there must be a big cat or maybe even a bear stalking around but we didn't pay it

much mind the wildlife here is rather ticent and it's typically only young cats that will attack then run away as They're just learning to interact with the environment around them but that's when we heard a very peculiar sound it sounded like bones breaking like these really loud snapping and popping sounds I looked around but couldn't see anything and again I figured it must be be a cougar enjoying the bloody Spoils of her late night hunt we kept going maybe another 50 yards into the central Cliff section and were discussing Whether to go right or left

around the central spires when something caught my eye there were these two yellow lights a good 100 yards or so down the galie to the left and at first I thought it was two hikers or maybe four strangers out looking for us this would be pretty random though I thought as although you're but a stone's throw from Civilization by car this is a truly remote and isolated location suddenly a sound I can only Describe as a guttural roar erupted up the Gully shattering the Eerie silence and shaking me to my core I felt paralyzed with

shock and fear and I could literally feel the vibrations penetrate my body P snapped me out of my trance grabbing me by the back of my shirt and pulling me back up around to the right of the spires what the heck was that I whispered shaking I don't know man we need to build a fire fast P was already Gathering small twigs And sticks raking his hands through the dirt building a crude pile of leaves and small sticks and things like that I began grabbing some larger sticks and branches while Peele at the pile with

his lighter blowing gently to stoke the small nent flame I was nervously checking over my shoulder and I thought I saw something moving in the shadows but I couldn't really tell if it was just my mind playing tricks on me come on put those sticks here like this P Began building a teepee around the still smoldering brush pile we both began blowing on it and before long the fire sprung to life just then we were hit with a smell that reminded me of dog scat that's been left to sit out in the sun for too

long we kept blowing on the fire adding more and more larger sticks anything we could find the Flames were Rising Higher and Higher and fueled Sparks were flying off into the night around us I felt the Hairs on the back of my neck stand up and I grabbed a burning Branch whipping it around only to see these two yellow eyes glaring back at me this thing was only about 20 yards out now and the eyes were a solid 8 ft off the ground it was just staring at me but I could sense a highly evolved

sense of intelligence in its gaze that and a piercing spiteful Mal you could almost feel the pure unadulterated hatred emanating off of This thing that's when I heard what sounded like a branch breaking behind us we whipped around to see another pair of yellow eyes behind us the two sets of eyes started moving counterclockwise around the outer rim of light cast from the now burning fire P was frantically throwing more and more fod on the fire and I was low-key nervous about starting a forest fire I was running around the fire with my makeshift torch

but the light at cast Was weak at best we heard or rather felt another earpiercing Roar which almost knocked me to the ground this time followed by a low wolf-like growl then there was a deep huffing sound before the eyes seemed to peel off into the darkness we heard heavy bipedal footfall fading away up the mountain Canyon we continued throwing dried out Timber onto the fire until the wee hours of the morning when when I think we may have actually dozed off we got up and Kicked a bunch of rocks and dirt on the fire

and boy when I tell you we straight up sprinted down the canyon back into town where we hopped in my truck which had coincidentally been broken into by a bear because I was an idiot and had left a freshly caught brck trout in there we drove our Tails back down to Gold Hill end of the encounter on to P's two cents we were obviously very curious as to just what we had encountered that night This was back before the days of Reddit and all those YouTube horror channels but when we did Google it we kept

seeing the same thing pop up over and over again Dogman the name itself sounded sort of silly to me as it invokes an image of some sort of half man half dog monstrosity with a human face and dog ears or something like that reminiscent of Stanley kubric the shiny if you know you know whereas whatever we Had encountered was clearly a true apex predator nothing funny about it and ultimately we didn't even really see it we just saw the eyes so there's really no telling what it was to be fair it could have been a

bear for all we knew but there are no bears in this region that are that big and aggressive or that have glowing yellow eyes like that at least not that I'm aware of anyway these beasts or entities whatever you Want to call them seem to be more territorial than anything and I'm guessing that we aren't their natural prey though there are a staggering number of missing persons reports in the Colorado Rockies heck the American West in general and there's got to be something behind it right warning the following story contains depictions of violence against animals

specifically a stray cat it followed me home from D Allen I was 13 at the time my parents were divorced and I'd often spend weekends with my dad he and I usually went out on Saturday evenings so we'd come back pretty late however this Saturday evening would stop me from wanting to go out late for a while that Saturday night my dad and I stayed out relatively late we were driving back to the house my dad lives in a small house around the edge Of town surrounded by woods and our vegetable garden we were about

5 mil away or so from the house we were driving through a heavily forested area so you would expect to see some Wildlife I was looking out the passenger window when I saw out of the corner of my eye a large black figure it approached quickly and soon it darted right in front of the car it ran from the passenger side to the driver's side so I knew my dad saw it as well he Immediately hit the brakes as soon as we stopped I looked over at my dad what the heck was that I asked

I don't know Danny whatever it was it's gone now my dad replied shaken he pressed his foot on the gas again after we were back on the road my dad and I began to discuss what the thing that ran across the road may have been he suggested did it could have been a deer or a bear but we don't have bears in our neck of the woods I knew it Couldn't have been one but I kept my thoughts to myself so my dad didn't think I was crazy before long we were pulling into our driveway

we were just about to get out of the car when my dad and I noticed something lying in the yard the two of us steadily walked over to whatever it was as we inched closer we noticed that it was brutally slaughtered in entrails and blood scattered all over as we closely examined the thing we soon found The head of a stray cat lying nearby we had a lot of coyotes in the area so my dad concluded that the damage must have been caused by one but I wasn't convinced why would a coyote rip it apart

and just abandon it this was fresh food for it so it spent all that energy chasing and hunting this cat and it didn't e it I dismissed this thought thought and we went inside after we'd gone to bed I found myself unable to sleep my mind was Flooded with the disturbing sight of that brutally killed cat I guess what haunted me the most was the fact that its head was clawed right off its body that's not the kind of thing you just forget as I quietly panicked in bed I suddenly heard a tapping sound coming

from my window my bed was next to the window at the time so I could see and hear almost everything that went on at that window slowly I turned my gaze to the window And what I saw still haunts me to this day there was a large black figure I think it was the same one I'd seen from the road or another one like it it had pointed ears and it also had a face with a snout like a dog or wolf its Amber eyes were mesmerizing it felt as if it was staring right into

my very Soul it had large paw but they looked more like hands with long clawed fingers the thing was crouched down like a person would do and it was peering in at me from the Window I was horrified but curious I wanted to know what this thing was but then a familiar word came into my head the one word I knew that could describe this thing dog man I'd read and heard stories about them online but I never actually thought I'd see one they were just fiction right what I was seeing couldn't possibly be a

real life dog man I stared at it for a while before it suddenly raised its hand it put its hand On the glass as if measuring the thickness of it it began to scratch on the window and my blood ran cold as I realized it was trying to find a way to get in I felt like screaming but I couldn't I wanted to jump out of my bed and run to the next room and get my dad but I couldn't and I knew he probably wouldn't believe me if this thing was gone so I stayed

there paralyzed with fear it must have been hours or at least Felt like it as that thing kept clawing at the window eventually it grew bored I guess and it stopped it Rose to a startling height of 7 or 8 ft it then turned to me bearing those teeth in frustration as if to say I could have gotten you then it turned around and ran off towards the tree line I tried to sleep after that but the howling and screeching coming from the woods kept me awake after the longest wait of my life Morning finally

came I'll never forget that night no matter how many times I tried sometimes I still wonder what could have happened to me if that window broke while that thing was tapping on it I haven't seen that thing since or anything like it and I hope I never do be careful anybody who goes out into the woods after dark a crypted crossed my path near Mount Adams from chwok 79 this happened between 2003 and 2004 i' had been working for a gravel company off and on for about 1 to two years my second year I was

promoted from working underneath a rock Crusher shoveling gravel and keeping the belts clear for the Rock crushing machine it was the dirtiest job but built character and humbled me deeply the following year 2004 around late summer or early fall my boss had obtained a job up in the mountains on my Resz we were CR rushing Rock and layering it over the back roads for logging trucks Timber is one of the main money makers for my tribe aside from the Indian cassino AKA Legends Casino but back to the job we started in Old Maid's Canyon I

had my shovel ready but my boss told me to come with him and set the shovel down I had been promoted to Roller operator Not only was I not working the dirtiest job I'd ever worked but my boss gave me a $2 raise for Running the roller it took me about a week to to feel comfortable operating it on my own and I was on my own by the second day but stuck close to the Rock Crusher and truns to get more familiar with the roller about 3 weeks into this job I'd rolled ahead so

far from the crushing site I'd rarely see the trucks this meant I was farther into the mountains on my own I had a CD Walkman to listen to music and drown out the very loud Roller I was deep into Old Maid's Canyon a truck had passed me and dumped the gravel the backo came in and leveled it out and now it was my turn to pack it down with the roller the vibration was turned on and I put the roller into gear to move forward the truck and backhoe were gone by then with my headphones

in I went to work I was at least five maybe 6 miles away from the crushing site the roller runs slow regardless so I can't Necessarily kick the sucker into Fifth and run out of there in a hurry I was in an area where the canyon and tree line were buted up against the road I was rolling the wind had picked up and blew in my direction it was then that I picked up the stench of something that seemed like rotted meat and 7year strong body odor it literally made me want to vomit the smell

was that bad I figured maybe a dead deer or elk was nearby I looked all Around me and realized just how enclosed I was in this area Canyon and trees surrounding me to the left was a Cliffside slightly hidden by tall Tam trees but I could see Rock from the Cliffside through the trees I took my headphones off pulled the roller over and shut it off the smell had become so strong I knew I had to be pretty close to the dead animal or whatever was near the road I heard rocks falling from the cliffs

to the left of me I looked over There as it caught my attention I also heard some grunting sounds that were deep and muffled like someone or something was trying to remain quiet running up a hill up the cliffs I gazed through the trees the wind picked up again blowing that awful stench once more towards me I realized if I can smell this thing then it's likely that it has definitely smelled me I mean it was so close I could hear it struggling to climb the cliffs side then through The branches I caught a sight

of a patch of fur this was fur I'd never seen before in my entire life the body on this thing was orange and brown and color color in the sunlight the fur covering a very muscular back people have told me it was probably just a bear my stepdad whom landed this job for me and drove a truck for this company even said it was a bear himself but I know what I saw after spending years in the res I've heard Stories of Spiel ey and Bigfoot which had been spotted by many on the reservation the

thing grunted and whooped once it reached the top I saw a good portion of it then to my amazement and my anxiety it looked like an ape but primarily bipedal the face had some fur over it and even though this coat that covered the body was orange and brown it had the snout of a coyote almost doglike it was like if Bigfoot and a dog man were to have spliced their jeans Creating an animal in their image it would have looked like this this thing was like 8 or 9 ft tall too its eyes were

a sharp yellow color and almost glow even though it was in the daylight it ran away then out of my sight what happened in those few minutes had left a huge impact on me realizing I was alone and miles away from people I put the roller in Reverse backing it up and starting my way back to the crushing sight soon the smell was gone everything Seemed to return to normal I might add before it happened I didn't realize no birds or owls or anything were around they would usually fly past me and Chirp along the

tree Tre into their nests I noticed this wasn't happening at all then no one believed what I saw I tried to tell my co-workers and my now ex- stepdad I never ventured far from the trucks after that if I ended up alone my stepdad left me with the pistol to keep on me just in case I came across a bear Again I think the reason people didn't want to believe me was because they didn't want to fear anything while working so far and deep in the mountains near Mount Adams I believe I saw a trickster

or speli and it scared me to the point that I couldn't wait for this job in the mountains to be done once we laid gravel on all the logging roads I never returned to the job my mom and stepdad ended up divorcing not long after I was 24 at the Time the only person who believed me was my mom her brother my uncle had seen a Sasquatch while he was young my uncle Creator bless his soul had died traic Ally in a car accident when I was nine I never got to hear his story but

he did see Bigfoot our mountains have creatures residing in them Bigfoot spel ey UFO sightings I never thought I'd come across something like this in my lifetime this is one of the experiences that has happened to me I believe speli Had spared me that day instead of messing with me it scurried away and grunted once at the top of the cliffs as if to say you're lucky I'm letting you you go before disappearing over the top of the Cliffside these areas of the entire world exist creatures reside in them and we can't even begin to

comprehend them but as a Native American myself I believe coexisting with things even if we don't completely understand them is a Part of life then again had it turned out that speli wanted to stick around and not spare me I wouldn't be here right now to share this story thanks for listening terrifying encounter in smalltown Ohio from [Music] Celina back in the80s my dad had a friend named Joe who worked for the Ohio Parks and Wildlife division he normally worked in the Columbus area however on This occasion he was in a town called Defiance where

the independence Dam State Park is located Joe described the park as being well hidden nestled between a wide river and a thick forest of tall trees once inside it was long and narrow with a small camping area in the back one way in one way out and nothing but dense steep Forest behind it this is his story Joe met with the sheriff David I believe at his office the day was pretty Much uneventful until around 900 p.m. when a call came in requesting the sheriff and Joe respond to a couple camping out at the dam

after about a 15-minute drive through the park they arrived at the very last campsite where an older silver RV sat a couple in their mid to late 4S was standing outside waiting the sheriff addressed the couple while Joe began looking around the first thing he noticed was how everything had been Thrown about lawn chairs upside down were broken a smashed a picnic table a heavyduty grill that was cemented into a concrete slab had been bent in half the couple said they had arrived earlier in the day to get everything set up ready for a relaxing

weekend of camping they decided to catch some fresh fish for dinner and that's when they said they felt as if they were being watched a heavy uneasiness came over them as they realized the nature around Them had gone silent no birds singing crickets chirping nothing they chose to play it safe and return empty-handed the couple came back to their RV and began to make a different dinner for the evening when suddenly the RV began to violently shake back and forth knocking them both to the floor to them it sounded as if they were surrounded on

each side of the RV however they heard and saw nothing after several minutes of being Tossed about like ragd dolls the husband shouted that he had a gun the rocking stopped abruptly and was followed by a long low Bellow which they could feel vibrating beneath their feet keep in mind this was the80s so there weren't any cell phones they could use to call for help they waited a while before grabbing their gun throwing the RV door open and booking it to their truck there they drove to a pay phone and called for Help the sheriff

reassured the couple telling them they would check out the area and find the people responsible Joe said he never forgot what the lady said next you aren't looking for people Sheriff you're looking for Monsters David went back to his vehicle grabbed a shotgun tossed a flashlight to Joe and they headed out into the woods Joe wasn't for a moment thinking anything other than this being a bunch of teenagers but he did notice a look of Concern on David's face the deeper they went went the darker it got it became so dark that Joe could only

see maybe a couple of feet in front of him at one point he realized that David had stopped walking when he turned to say something to him he was met with a quick hush he watched David Point his finger towards the darkness Joe shined his flashlight where he was pointing which was about 15 ft away or so the area was Thick with tall wide trees packed tightly together between the trees David whispered Joe began moving the flashlight slowly up then down when he saw something pressed up against a tree was a leg a man's leg

but larger and hairier he then saw a long Godly shaped hand which reminded him of what a man's hand might look like if it had had been broken and never heal properly it had Claws instead of nails which were long sharp and wide Joe felt his heart drop into his stomach as his legs weakened then he felt it the vibration beneath his feet the couple had described followed by long deep growls the air became filled with a suffocating pungent odor causing both men to recoil and disgust Joe moved the flashlight up a good 8 ft

off the ground there he saw a face it was covered in thick brownish gray hair And had the muzzle and teeth of a large canine the eyes looked like two dancing orange flames and they were looking right at them shoot it Joe whispered to David as soon as those words left his mouth several of the same type of creature began slowly creeping out from behind the trees we have to get out of here David said softly while slowly walking backwards Joe was the most terrified he'd ever been in his life and he could Not get

his legs to move he couldn't see them but he could feel them moving in closer and closer with every passing second the vibrations had become painful by this point feeling as if his spine was getting ready to explode Joe admitted to us that he thought those would be his last moments on Earth viciously mauled by some unknown Predators when suddenly a bright flash of light lit the night's sky and a loud Bang accompanied it horrific screams filled the air and Joe ran for his life later on Joe found out that David had saw movement behind

him he fired his shotgun in the direction hoping to scare whatever those things were off eventually they made it back to the campers both men were black and blue with scratches from head to toe from Running Blind and the sheriff made them vacate the area immediately the park was closed for a Few weeks after that incident telling the public it was for repairs before Joe left to come back home he asked the sheriff what he thought it was they saw that night without hesitation he said werewolf he then went on to tell him about the

Defiance werewolf spotted back in the' 70s apparently a railway worker had an encounter with one which had been stalking the tracks late one night even many many years later Joe Says it's one of his most Vivid memories he'll never understand what they were exactly or what caused those crazy vibration ations but he does know that they're real and he'll never return to that part of Ohio again Dogman of Texas from Kirk I live in the countryside of Austin Texas I worked as a ranch owner and my job was to just take care of livestock like

cows Lorn bulls and horses Basically a cowboy I was also an average Hunter so when I was done with my chores and had nothing else to do I would just go hunting sometimes with a friend however it was this particular hunt I saw something unexpected one day I was wrapping things up and I decided to go hunting afterwards I packed up all my gear and went on my way to my spot once I made it there I unpacked my things and set up Camp but I continued to hike down the trail searching for a good

spot to lay low low and wait for a deer to cross my path or a Havalina since they are the most common here as I walked I kept a close eye on the ground for rattlesnakes something else that was unfortunately common here as I continued I found a good spot to hunker down so I got comfortable made a few calls and noises hoping to attract something but after a while nothing came across my path except For a dough No bucks yet I stayed in that spot for a while longer and when nothing else came by

I decided to move but then I heard a howl in the distance now I know what coyot sound like and there are no wolves in this area as far as I know so I figured it was a wild dog after walking a bit I eventually found another spot to hunker down in and after a while I did see a buck come By I raised my rifle seconds from pulling the trigger when suddenly something Lar arge came out of the brush and attacked the deer I saw this thing Pin It To The Ground biting right into

the Buck's neck the deer struggled but soon it stopped moving entirely then the creature began to eat its meal I couldn't believe what I was seeing as I looked on it became clear to me that this was no ordinary creature Its head resembled a wolf but its front limbs were more human like and very muscular its back legs were like that of a dog with a bushy tail too I've never been more scared and confused in my life somehow I summoned the courage to get up I ran right into the brush next to me I

didn't get far when I felt an extremely heavy weight forced me to the ground sharp claws dug into my skin that bizarre animal had pinned me I struggled fighting back back but it easily Overpowered me I managed to grab my pistol and desperately I fired I kept firing until I ran out of ammo that creature pulled itself away from me lurching backward finally it turned around and growled as if to tell me you got off easy then ran back into the bushes I was bleeding from my arm and I could see three claw marks immediately

I got up and ran from my truck as fast as I could when I made it back to it I called the sheriff's department telling The operator What had happened an ambulance was sent to treat my arm and to take me to the hospital when they arrived they patched me up real quick asking me a few questions I gave them my best description trying to be honest even if it did sound crazy one of them commented you're going to have a heck of a scar there pal but you'll pull through I thanked him I saw

a few officers searching the brush Probably to find some trace of the animal that attacked me but I have a feeling they didn't have any luck over the next few days nothing happened and my arm did recover unfortunately after that the hunting spot became off limits that day still haunts me and I believe what attacked me may have been a dog man I wasn't the only one who encountered one either I am grateful that I didn't see it again But sometimes at night I swear I can hear it howling out there and I was always

cautious around the woods now I'm even more cautious than ever be careful if you decide to hunt in the woods of Texas warning the following story contains depictions of violence against animals dog man or werewolf and Ohio from Anonymous I was 22 when this happened for the past 5 or 6 years I've only had two friends who have stuck with me Through everything we live within 5 minutes of each other in a rural area in Southwest Ohio specifically in the hills of the Ohio River Valley for anonymity sake ALB G my two friends are W

and a and my brother will be R A and R are Nextdoor neighbors they both live on decently sized plots of land that they don't actually own there's lots of Farmland in thick forest behind W's house is a couple of small ponds we used to fish in his house Was pretty small and not in the best condition and a lived in a medium-sized Brick House we'd usually go to W's house to hang out during the summer since his parents were always at camp and A's house or my house during the other Seasons this is is

somewhat relevant but mostly for setup now we all love guns so when a called and told me he bought a new AR-15 I knew we were going to end up shooting before the day was over I grabbed my SKS Paratrooper carbine and Glock 19 and R grabbed his AK-47 and his Sig p230 we got in my Jeep and drove to A's house it was still early about 3:00 in the afternoon less than 5 minutes after we pulled in a black cheffy impal pulled into the driveway heralding W's arrival he brought his AR-15 and a Beretta

M9 we shot for a couple of hours just taking pot shots at a Wen Target a had built in his backyard we ended up burning through a pretty big chunk of Ammo at that point I decided I wanted to get something to drink so I got into my Jeep and drove about 10 minutes away to the closest gas station after getting to the station and getting a few cans of the nectar of the Gods by which I of course mean monster I headed back to A's house when I came back I saw W A and

R standing by the door at the side of the house a had a look of unease on his face I exited the Jeep and walked over asking what was going On uh we heard some weird sounds in the woods a few minutes ago W told me I asked him what exactly he was talking about and what he meant by weird sounds a began to explain we heard some sort of loud vocalization that sounded like a mix between a coyote's yelping and a howl none of us had any idea what it could have been so we

decided to forget about it we went inside and played some games after a few hours I was bored and Began browsing forchan on my phone and I lost track of time but it was getting pretty late W had walked outside to smoke a cigarette a was in the bathroom room and R's girlfriend came and picked him up then A's dogs began to bark all of a sudden this startled me that's when I heard W come back inside the house rather quickly I asked what was going on and if something was wrong step outside check for

yourself he told me I stepped Outside curious about what the dogs were barking at and the second I open the door the smell hit me it it was the worst smell I've ever smelled in my entire life imagine the scent of a wet dog the reek of a dead deer rotting in the sun and the smell of a landfill combine those together and you've got what I can best describe it as repulsed by the smell I went back inside telling W I can see why he came in so quickly the dogs were still Barking and

they seemed to be getting more aggressive a finally came out of the bathroom one wondering what the commotion was about W explained the smell and a seemed more Curious than anything he was also angry about the prospect of someone trespassing he grabbed his guns and walked outside to look around he told us to stay inside until he got back not thinking much of it I began to browse more of Forchan I was startled when I heard the sound of a dog yelping followed by five gunshots in Rapid succession a couple of minutes later a busted

through the door yelling get your guns he said in a panicked voice some dude in a Ghillie suit just killed one of the dogs we grabbed our guns and followed him outside staying close the entire time sure enough in the backyard we found one of the dogs dead his throat had been torn up this wasn't a small dog either It was a rather large poodle mix of some kind and I mean one of the really big ones close by we saw the other dog cowering in his house the cows in the pasture on the other

side of the road were mooing as if they were both afraid and agitated I asked a to explain what was going on and he told me I was on the other side of the barn when I heard the dog yelping when I rounded the corner I saw this figure that looked like a big Guy in a ghilly suit running towards the woods I shot at him hoping to hit his leg and incapacitate him or something but I know I didn't hit him the same smell I described earlier was still hanging in the air but it

was faint W and a had flashlights on their rifles and I had one on my pistol I slung my SKS over my back and Drew my pistol and we fanned out looking around the area I wasn't expecting to find anything I could see W heading to the Other edge of the property and a was moving towards the cow pasture I headed back towards the barn and as I started to step in I lit a cigarette I felt raindrops starting to hit me so I stepped under the barn to smoke I stood there for less than

a minute when I heard another gunshot this one came from the direction W had gone in I began to walk that way and I saw a heading that way too while we were making our way over W fired off three More shots what the heck are you shooting at a asked I saw that dude but W's voice was shaky and hushed it didn't look like a guy W took a heavy Gulp and continued to explain it looked like a big dog or a wolf I could clearly see its muscle and ears I just saw it

standing behind some bushes but it had to have been standing on two legs he stopped and pulled out a cigarette His hand shaking but still managing to light the thing I sized it up using a nearby tree and it had to have been over 6 ft at least what are you even talking about a asked I chimed in you know there aren't any wolves nearby and coyotes don't get that big you think a coyote would have the guts to come up and rip my dog's throat out we've got to be dealing with some Pelt wearing

hermit strung out on something The tree that W was talking about was about 350 ft away so we all walked over to check it out the rain started to pick up and the wind was getting strong as well the clap of Thunder put us all on edge sure enough once we reached the tree a large Maple the branch he used to determine the size was close to 8 ft off the ground by our estimate we decided to put the other dog into the garage to keep it safe from who whoever or whatever was messing with

us This dog was inside a small kennel but if you live in a rural area you know a junkie always finds a way to break into places they aren't wanted a unlocked the kennel the dog followed a to the garage and went inside then a locked the door and we ran back inside the house so uh should we just leave we can just crash at G's house until morning W said I reminded him that R and his girlfriend were there his face instantly shifted to that of Disgust we all hated R's girlfriend because she wasn't

very nice none of us wanted to deal with her at the time so we unanimously decided to just hunker down with our guns and stay awake in shifts it was past midnight at that point and I volunteered to take the first shift from Midnight to 2 a.m. W and a soon passed out and I I sat there watching out the window I became bored after a while my adrenaline from earlier wearing off I Reached into my backpack and pulled out a finely crafted girka cigar I stepped out onto the back porch lit my stogy and

began to smoke and unwind I had been standing there for about 10 minutes when I heard the cows beginning to make a lot of noise again and I could hear the other dog barking aggressively inside the garage once more I was on edge I set my cigar in the ashtray and I unslung my rifle holding it with the safety off I made sure not To stray too far off out of the porch light but I got far enough into the field to see movement in the tree line I couldn't see what it was but in

a gap in the trees and undergrowth I saw a quick flash of a gray figure I began feeling very uneasy so I started backing into the house I could hear rustling over the breeze and it sounded like it was moving towards me I pointed my rifle in that direction if you aren't familiar with guns a typical SKS has a 10 round fixed Magazine that means I would have 10 shots to defend myself before I'd have to reach for my pistol if something were to happen but then the rustling stopped I still couldn't see anything I

was about halfway between the porch and tree line time felt as if it had stopped and I felt as if I'd been standing there for hours I turned and ran hearing something burst from the undergrowth behind me I reached the back door and threw the door open struggling to catch my breath Likely due to years of smoking W and a had awakened and W shift started soon I told them about what happened and they told me to go lie down for a bit that when I woke up we could all sit up until sunrise so

I lay down on the couch managing to somehow doze off I woke up not long after by W shaking me we have to go now he said in a panicked tone a went outside over half an hour Ago and he hasn't come back yet I was still half asleep so it took me a moment to let that sink in a is gone I asked trying to make sense of what I was hearing I sat up asking W to explain things we heard the cows outside acting agitated again but then they started to sound like they

were afraid then some of them managed to trample through the fence a went to see what scared them and told me if he wasn't back in 10 minutes to call the Cops by then I was lacing up my boots to heck with that W began to say a is our brother we can't just leave him out there we're going to go out there and find him I agreed without hesitation we grabbed guns my backpack full of extra ammo and W grabbed a machete we walked out the door and locked it behind us I could see

the spot in the fence where the cows had broken through we crossed the road and walked Into the pasture this pasture is huge part of it is just grass it also has a small pond but most of it is Forest flat Forest the kind with not much undergrowth and where the trees are spaced out more a great place for cattle and a great place to hunt as well if I had to guess I would say it was at least 200 Acres W used to hunt on this Farmer's land as well he was leading the way

when we heard a long string of Rapid gunshots followed by a Short pause then nine more shots it was clearly a emptying his rifle grabbing his pistol and emptying it as well with we sprinted in that direction even though it sounded far off we reached the wooden part of the property and started to call for a we kept making our way in the direction we heard the shots Panic began to set in with each passing moment W was losing his cool and I wasn't far behind then W just took off sprinting he yelled There he

is that's got to be him I gave Chase but I was having trouble keeping up yo slow down I yelled trying to get W to listen to me we need to stick together here but he didn't listen his light was bobbing back and forth as he ran and I continued to follow I slipped in a mud puddle at one point at least I hoped it was just mud and I ate the ground I looked up and started trying to regain my bearings but when I did I saw this silhouette Standing about 50 ft away it

looked like a big big German Shepherd type dog standing on its back legs its ears were up and I could see its muzzle as it was looking in a different direction I looked down and I saw that it didn't have typical front legs instead it had what looked to be arms with hands and fingers tipped with claws it seemed to be covered in Gray matted fur but what stood out the most to me were the piercing yellow eyes I saw a Takeoff running in the Direction w was going I stood up as quickly as I

could giving Chase in the same direction if W was in danger I had to do something to try to help I ran and ran starting to hear more gunshots and eventually I saw W's light in the distance he stopped shooting and I saw the light pointing at the ground like he was reloading I caught up and asked him if he saw it I looked over and noticed a was on the ground his back against a tree I I Started to panic asking if he was okay he's breathing just unconscious W explained we've got to get

him home we both picked him up and slung one arm around our shoulders we began to make our way back to the house but we knew we were being watched and even worse followed we could hear it moving when we moved stopping when we stopped I drew my pistol with my free hand and switched on the light attached to it my eye stung a sweat made its way inside W And I were both out of breath and we still had quite a long way back to go after walking for about 20 minutes a finally woke

up we stopped and asked him to explain what happened but we were cut off by the sound of a branch snapping W and I both trained our lights in that direction and saw the now familiar flash of gray just at the edge of the light I turned in that direction ction and fired off three shots we heard a growl and the sound of something big running Away we took that opportunity and booked it if I had kept track of time and direction as well as I thought we should be breaking through the trees in about

10 minutes then we should be able to see the light from the house we ran through the pasture and made it to the fence we crossed the street I asked a to unlock the door to the house and he frantically searched his pockets for the key but couldn't find it he began to panic W calmed him Down and suggested he try a window a being the smallest of us agreed we went to the back of the house and managed to remove the AC from a window which a then climbed through he let us in and

the rest of the night was uneventful I'm sorry for the anticlimactic ending to the actual story but I do have more to say the next day we talked to the owner of the the pasture where this happened he found three of his cows dead and Partially eaten he also found a blood trail in the wooded area that led towards the house then the opposite direction to the edge of his property he also found A's keys on the ground where he had been knocked out and where we'd found him the farmer explained that blood trail led

to the land owned by an old hermit who lived in a trailer in the woods he apparently never leaves and has relatives bringing him food it's rumored that he messed With the occult in his younger days we told the farmer what we experienced but he didn't believe us thinking we instead encountered a pack of rabid coyotes or feral dogs none of us agree with that so what could it have been was it a wolf-like crypted was it a werewolf a still lives in the same house but he hasn't seen or heard anything like it since

once again sorry for the anticlimactic actic ending the thing that followed the truck From nug 1998 this happened when I was on a family road trip from Iowa to Texas it was me my grandpa my aunts Sam and Ash and my uncle Lee this was when they were all teens and I was living with my grandpa we took my grandpa's truck the B top and we put a mattress in the back for the trip I was in the back of the truck pretty much the whole time talking to the others through the little Window at

night my aunts slept in the back with me while Lee and Grandpa slept in the front Grandpa would drive until really late and sometimes Lee would drive to give Grandpa a break I'm not sure which state we were in at the time but it was getting dark and it was raining I felt like I was in some Horror Story or something so we were at a gas station or truck stop and I stayed in the truck I think I was reading or riding at the time I had a flashlight so I could see what I

was doing this was before I ever had anything like a phone or a DS and at the time my game boy was dead I looked up my neck was really stiff I tried to pop it to make it feel better you know how you turn your head enough to make it go pop well that's what I did and when I did I looked out the window and saw something I don't know what it was it was dark stormy and it was like across a parking lot and a road at first I thought my Eyes were

playing tricks on me because I was tired then I got an uneasy feeling and I tried to ignore it my family came back out passing through the window a drink and snacks I didn't think about saying anything like I said I thought it was just my mind playing tricks on me in the dark I ate my snacks and eventually went to sleep we were on the road for 3 or 4 days there and 3 or 4 days back there were a Lot of storms I wasn't sure what state we were in but I saw it

a lot at night it was like it was following the truck to make it creepier I didn't see it when we were in a town or city just on the dark back roads I never knew for sure if my mind was playing tricks on me or if something really did follow us what I remember of it was that was big like a little bigger than a man in height but wide really wide I'm 4T 11 and a half in and it was wider than I am Tall I never got a better look at it it

never came close enough for me to make out more details it always kept pace with the truck too no matter how fast we were going it was kind of hunched over and I think it ran on two legs it didn't seem to have that movement that say a dog would have while running it looked like maybe it had long shaggy fur or hair on it if anyone has any ideas of what this might have been let me know or maybe it really was just my mind playing Vivid Tricks on Me The Wolf Man of Manchester

New Jersey from sneeve 0426 part one before I begin this story is from the perspective of my friend Harold and for the sake of anonymity I'll keep details as vague as possible along with not using his name or the names of the people involved I believe I saw a crypted that most people would know as a dog man or Wolf man of the sort in the New Jersey Pine Barons let me begin when I received my license at 17 years old I started spending all my free time Outdoors hiking all over the East Co Coast

but mostly within the New Jersey Pine Baron since I live in New Jersey I would later Graduate Stockton University with a bachelor's degree in environmental science I worked as a naturalist at batow Village in Warden State Forest for a while which is the biggest state Forest within the New Jersey Pine Barons I got the job before my internship ended due to my knowledge of plants and animals when I first applied I hadn't even finished my first semester in college so they didn't expect me to have the credentials I only give out this information because when

I see an animal in the woods day or night I know with 100% certainty what I'm looking at and after almost 6 years from the time of Writing the story I can't wrap my head around the creature that I saw I'm an open-minded person to a point I do believe certain Cryptids can exist solely if the biology of the creature is possible but that doesn't put a bipedal canine on my list roughly about 6 years ago I along with two of my friends one a welder and one a mechanic I'll be calling Chris and Allen

respectively went off-roading in Allen's truck somewhere in Manchester New Jersey We met with a bunch of Allen's off-roading buddies in a spot they frequented I do not know the specific area only that it was in Manchester New Jersey and it was very close to the general vicinity of the abandoned brick Factory we hung out for a few hours drove around the dirt trails and just had a good time socializing with other people I didn't have any substances in my system because after we left I had to drive myself home so I was sober along With

Alan who was also sober but to be honest Chris was a bit High we were starting to leave and as we were taking the trails to get back to the main road Allan told me to help look out for deer he was driving only 35 mph because the dirt path we were on was pretty open about 30ish F feet wide and we were dead in the middle in case he did have to respond to a deer jumping out of nowhere a few minutes go by and my Sharp eyes spot a deer running alongside the Truck

but within the tree line so the view of it wasn't more than a dark brown patch of fur as I'm about to say something to my friend Alan thinking that this is a deer about to run in front of the car the animal speeds up its Pace significantly and gets about 20 ft ahead of the truck still in the tree line then it proceeds to jump out in front of the truck for as long as I live I'll never forget what I saw that night it ran on Its two back legs looked right up at

us and to our horror it ran across this 30ft wide Dirt Road in two to three steps then went into the opposite Tree Line in those few seconds I saw this dog man or wolf man it was roughly 7 ft tall estimating its height using Allen's lifted truck as a reference it was covered in dark brown fur every inch of its body was covered but the chest and stomach area had less fur and a lighter colored fur than the rest of the body But even under all this fur you could make out extreme muscle definition

very similar to an Olympic bodybuilder it also had a canine type of head with a long snout and two distinct perked up wolf ears and large muscular legs the Torso and arms were similar to that of a very muscular man with large hands these hands had visible claws that looked like they could do some real damage and its eyes reflected an unnatural color of light that I haven't Seen in the animal kingdom as soon as it jumped into the opposing Tree Line my friend Allan slammed on the brakes and Chris said I know I'm high

but what the actual heck was that my friends puzzled by what we just saw looked at me and went okay Nature Boy please tell us that was something explained able I sat there dumbfounded telling them I didn't have an answer not one based in reason or science nothing I could logically think of and my friend Alan helled it out of There to this day my friend Chris has convinced himself that it wasn't a hallucination because of the pot and my other friend Alan who doesn't believe in the Supernatural and absolutely refuses to have an open

mind doesn't speak about this event pretending it never happened to this day I still have no logical explanation for what I saw I do not believe that a bipedal canine creature could logically biologically exist but what I saw was something Matching that description with my own eyes and it was very real part two my name is George and I believe I had a similar encounter to Harold it was close to where his first encounter was which was near the abandoned brick Factory in Manchester to start off my brother has taken me to this place before

with Harold and I thought it was pretty cool so I decided to go back there with a group of friends One night to my horror we encountered something that I never thought could be real like I stated above my friends and I came back to the abandoned brick Factory to explore it shortly after my brother took me with his friend Harold he warned us never to come back there at night but we didn't heed Harold's warning we were told by Harold that he had some other experiences there that haunted him for a long time but

we thought he was joking around or Exaggerating anyway on to the story as soon as we got there we felt as if we were being watched as if there was some kind of eerie presence about the place my friends and I were a little spooked early on and as our eyes darted all around the Woodline I spotted something in the Woodline up ahead I saw something that shouldn't be possible there was what looked to be well a werewolf its piercing yellow eyes were staring into my soul it felt like And gave me the creeps when

I was looking at it it was abnormally tall maybe 9 or 10 ft it had large wolf-like or doglike perked ears and a long snout its body was similar to a bodybuilder with large muscles that were visible through its fur but its head was similar to a German Shepherd or a wolf and its hands ended in claw-like digits I blinked to make sure that it wasn't my imagination to my Terror my friends reacted to this thing as well They were startled to me it felt like it was beckoning me to come closer and its stare

was so quiet yet soul-piercing I felt like a deer in the headlights the way it looked also reminded me of an Egyptian Jackal except this could not be real it didn't do anything but stare at us and make us feel intimidated but when it walked away way we ran out of the area to this day I'm still not exactly sure what we saw but when my brother showed me an illustration of a dog man It made me shudder whatever I saw that night looked just like the illustration my brother showed me to this day I'm

still in disbelief about it I'll never go back there the entire time I thought my life was in danger maybe the way it stared at us was a warning to never come back thank you for listening to unexplained encounters if you enjoy this show think about supporting us there are several ways you can search for Eerie cast on Your favorite podcast app and follow our other scary shows especially the other two I host Tales from the breakroom and camping Horrors leave unexplained encounters a rating on Spotify and a review on Apple podcasts the more we
