8
00:00:36,389 --> 00:00:34,310
followed by the rakes i've been seeing

9
00:00:36,950 --> 00:00:36,399
this strange creature for the last four

10
00:00:39,750 --> 00:00:36,960
years

11
00:00:40,310 --> 00:00:39,760
and it seems to follow me as far as i

12
00:00:42,709 --> 00:00:40,320
know

13
00:00:44,869 --> 00:00:42,719
the creature has never tried harming me

14
00:00:46,470 --> 00:00:44,879
but it has often times made me feel

15
00:00:48,950 --> 00:00:46,480
unsafe and threatened

16
00:00:50,150 --> 00:00:48,960
as the years have passed i began paying

17
00:00:52,069 --> 00:00:50,160
less mind to it

18
00:00:53,350 --> 00:00:52,079
and just putting the feeling in the back

19
00:00:56,310 --> 00:00:53,360
of my mind

20
00:00:58,470 --> 00:00:56,320
january 2012 i bought a horse and began

21
00:01:00,630 --> 00:00:58,480
boarding it at a very old barn

22
00:01:02,950 --> 00:01:00,640
it was a small tight-knit friendly barn

23
00:01:05,109 --> 00:01:02,960
community not far from my home

24
00:01:06,789 --> 00:01:05,119
it had been around since the 60s

25
00:01:08,950 --> 00:01:06,799
surrounded by woods

26
00:01:11,429 --> 00:01:08,960
there were three barns the main arena

27
00:01:13,270 --> 00:01:11,439
was entirely surrounded by thick woods

28
00:01:14,870 --> 00:01:13,280
and there were small trails in the woods

29
00:01:17,590 --> 00:01:14,880
behind the property

30
00:01:19,109 --> 00:01:17,600
fast forward to june 2012 i had two

31
00:01:21,190 --> 00:01:19,119
horses there now

32
00:01:23,590 --> 00:01:21,200
i was there every single day without

33
00:01:26,230 --> 00:01:23,600
fail 2 pm to 10 pm

34
00:01:28,149 --> 00:01:26,240
i fed the horses and cared for them i

35
00:01:30,550 --> 00:01:28,159
rode one every night as well

36
00:01:31,510 --> 00:01:30,560
mainly in the arena but sometimes in the

37
00:01:33,910 --> 00:01:31,520
barnyard

38
00:01:35,510 --> 00:01:33,920
there were no fielder arena lights just

39
00:01:38,870 --> 00:01:35,520
the moon and stars

40
00:01:39,270 --> 00:01:38,880
one evening around 5 pm i was sitting on

41
00:01:42,710 --> 00:01:39,280
her

42
00:01:44,870 --> 00:01:42,720
snorting and backing up

43
00:01:46,389 --> 00:01:44,880
i looked up and saw this white or gray

44
00:01:47,590 --> 00:01:46,399
creature crawling out of the woods

45
00:01:50,069 --> 00:01:47,600
towards us

46
00:01:51,429 --> 00:01:50,079
it had a very small round head its eyes

47
00:01:53,830 --> 00:01:51,439
were just pits

48
00:01:55,030 --> 00:01:53,840
it had a very small mouth not much

49
00:01:57,670 --> 00:01:55,040
detail there

50
00:01:59,109 --> 00:01:57,680
its arms were very long and thin fingers

51
00:02:01,190 --> 00:01:59,119
also like that

52
00:02:04,230 --> 00:02:01,200
its rib cage was very pronounced and

53
00:02:06,950 --> 00:02:04,240
defined and its legs were long and lanky

54
00:02:07,990 --> 00:02:06,960
its movements were very jerky not smooth

55
00:02:10,630 --> 00:02:08,000
and fluid

56
00:02:12,949 --> 00:02:10,640
it slowly jerked out to us when my horse

57
00:02:15,510 --> 00:02:12,959
turned and bolted out of the arena

58
00:02:17,990 --> 00:02:15,520
she's a dead broke calm well manners

59
00:02:21,030 --> 00:02:18,000
horse who never spooked before this

60
00:02:22,070 --> 00:02:21,040
stubborn old mare but not spooky she

61
00:02:24,550 --> 00:02:22,080
would not go back

62
00:02:25,910 --> 00:02:24,560
into the arena that night i walked her

63
00:02:28,309 --> 00:02:25,920
around the barnyard

64
00:02:30,470 --> 00:02:28,319
staying near the main barn put her up

65
00:02:32,550 --> 00:02:30,480
and ran out to peek into the arena

66
00:02:34,070 --> 00:02:32,560
to find nothing except some footprints

67
00:02:36,470 --> 00:02:34,080
where i saw the thing

68
00:02:37,750 --> 00:02:36,480
throughout the summer i saw it peeking

69
00:02:39,589 --> 00:02:37,760
almost dancing

70
00:02:41,110 --> 00:02:39,599
around the gate that lead into the woods

71
00:02:43,509 --> 00:02:41,120
where the trails were

72
00:02:44,470 --> 00:02:43,519
one night roughly a month later at about

73
00:02:46,710 --> 00:02:44,480
9 00 p.m

74
00:02:47,670 --> 00:02:46,720
i was riding that horse again in a front

75
00:02:49,910 --> 00:02:47,680
pasture

76
00:02:52,150 --> 00:02:49,920
the moon is full and bright and i looked

77
00:02:54,470 --> 00:02:52,160
to my left to see that creature running

78
00:02:55,350 --> 00:02:54,480
full spread by my side on the other side

79
00:02:58,070 --> 00:02:55,360
of the fence

80
00:02:59,430 --> 00:02:58,080
i slowed my horse to a stop and it took

81
00:03:01,509 --> 00:02:59,440
off around the corner

82
00:03:03,350 --> 00:03:01,519
and behind the side barn into the woods

83
00:03:05,430 --> 00:03:03,360
dot i continued seeing it

84
00:03:07,830 --> 00:03:05,440
mainly in the woods but it was always

85
00:03:10,390 --> 00:03:07,840
around summer 2013

86
00:03:12,470 --> 00:03:10,400
the barn shut down when the owner died

87
00:03:13,670 --> 00:03:12,480
we moved the horses to a friend's place

88
00:03:16,309 --> 00:03:13,680
for the time being

89
00:03:17,670 --> 00:03:16,319
and i didn't see it there late summer

90
00:03:20,710 --> 00:03:17,680
fall 2013

91
00:03:22,309 --> 00:03:20,720
i found a new barn woods directly behind

92
00:03:25,110 --> 00:03:22,319
the barn and arena

93
00:03:26,390 --> 00:03:25,120
this place had lights and was much newer

94
00:03:28,070 --> 00:03:26,400
about a month later

95
00:03:29,830 --> 00:03:28,080
when i was getting ready to leave i

96
00:03:31,589 --> 00:03:29,840
heard something in the woods

97
00:03:33,509 --> 00:03:31,599
i looked down the barn island to the

98
00:03:35,110 --> 00:03:33,519
woods and saw the creature running down

99
00:03:37,270 --> 00:03:35,120
the road into the woods

100
00:03:40,149 --> 00:03:37,280
i saw it much less frequently for a

101
00:03:42,390 --> 00:03:40,159
while until later in fall 2014

102
00:03:44,550 --> 00:03:42,400
i began seeing it in the back pastures

103
00:03:45,350 --> 00:03:44,560
woods it darted in and out of the tree

104
00:03:47,110 --> 00:03:45,360
line

105
00:03:49,509 --> 00:03:47,120
i saw a second one sitting in a

106
00:03:51,990 --> 00:03:49,519
neighbor's yard it would sit in the same

107
00:03:54,630 --> 00:03:52,000
spot every day and watch me ride

108
00:03:55,830 --> 00:03:54,640
i started taking pictures which are very

109
00:03:57,910 --> 00:03:55,840
poor and crappy

110
00:03:59,589 --> 00:03:57,920
and sent them to a friend who claimed he

111
00:04:01,830 --> 00:03:59,599
and some others have seen it

112
00:04:03,830 --> 00:04:01,840
kept seeing it occasionally but from a

113
00:04:04,710 --> 00:04:03,840
much greater distance than at the first

114
00:04:08,309 --> 00:04:04,720
barn

115
00:04:10,710 --> 00:04:08,319
farm to get some stuff

116
00:04:12,789 --> 00:04:10,720
when i saw a very very large version of

117
00:04:15,350 --> 00:04:12,799
this creature run out from the woods

118
00:04:17,670 --> 00:04:15,360
right behind a tree i was 10 feet from

119
00:04:20,310 --> 00:04:17,680
while i was alone by the trailer

120
00:04:21,189 --> 00:04:20,320
last november i house at for the barn

121
00:04:23,670 --> 00:04:21,199
owners

122
00:04:25,749 --> 00:04:23,680
i went out around 2 a.m to fill water

123
00:04:26,550 --> 00:04:25,759
troughs and enjoy the full moon and cool

124
00:04:28,469 --> 00:04:26,560
night

125
00:04:29,990 --> 00:04:28,479
i was sitting in the back pasture when

126
00:04:32,230 --> 00:04:30,000
three of the creatures began

127
00:04:34,070 --> 00:04:32,240
coming from the woods one came up to the

128
00:04:35,749 --> 00:04:34,080
trees near the trough where i was

129
00:04:38,390 --> 00:04:35,759
the other two were walking along the

130
00:04:39,510 --> 00:04:38,400
tree line the horses were silently

131
00:04:41,830 --> 00:04:39,520
munching their hay

132
00:04:43,909 --> 00:04:41,840
pretty far from where the creatures were

133
00:04:45,670 --> 00:04:43,919
i messaged the guy from earlier and told

134
00:04:47,749 --> 00:04:45,680
him what was going on

135
00:04:48,790 --> 00:04:47,759
since that incident i haven't really

136
00:04:51,430 --> 00:04:48,800
seen them

137
00:04:53,510 --> 00:04:51,440
last summer i did see one outside my

138
00:04:55,990 --> 00:04:53,520
house staring into the windows

139
00:04:58,070 --> 00:04:56,000
a few weeks ago one was outside my

140
00:05:00,230 --> 00:04:58,080
bedroom windows tapping and making a

141
00:05:02,710 --> 00:05:00,240
strange vein shrieking sound

142
00:05:04,710 --> 00:05:02,720
this was a lot to type out but i hope

143
00:05:06,070 --> 00:05:04,720
someone reads this and helps me figure

144
00:05:08,310 --> 00:05:06,080
this out some more

145
00:05:09,909 --> 00:05:08,320
i'm very open and willing to discuss

146
00:05:11,029 --> 00:05:09,919
more paranormal things that have

147
00:05:13,430 --> 00:05:11,039
happened with this

148
00:05:15,270 --> 00:05:13,440
my friends experiences with this and

149
00:05:22,830 --> 00:05:15,280
anything else that could or could not be

150
00:05:26,710 --> 00:05:23,990
kp

151
00:05:28,310 --> 00:05:26,720
scary raker crawler humanoid repeatedly

152
00:05:30,310 --> 00:05:28,320
observed in florida

153
00:05:32,230 --> 00:05:30,320
i am still at the loss for words to

154
00:05:33,990 --> 00:05:32,240
explain how scary this is

155
00:05:35,270 --> 00:05:34,000
most all because it is no doubt

156
00:05:38,230 --> 00:05:35,280
something not human

157
00:05:40,550 --> 00:05:38,240
or any known animal this is taking place

158
00:05:41,350 --> 00:05:40,560
nightly behind a close friend's home not

159
00:05:44,150 --> 00:05:41,360
far away

160
00:05:45,189 --> 00:05:44,160
and started last fall the area is in

161
00:05:48,070 --> 00:05:45,199
north florida

162
00:05:50,230 --> 00:05:48,080
near wakula in a very rural area and

163
00:05:52,310 --> 00:05:50,240
behind her house is wild bamboo

164
00:05:54,469 --> 00:05:52,320
that is completely overgrown the land

165
00:05:56,790 --> 00:05:54,479
surrounding the ruins of the old house

166
00:05:59,670 --> 00:05:56,800
that literally collapsed or imploded

167
00:06:01,670 --> 00:05:59,680
somewhere approximately 15 years ago

168
00:06:03,909 --> 00:06:01,680
these things have not only taken over

169
00:06:04,469 --> 00:06:03,919
back there but have been seen by several

170
00:06:06,950 --> 00:06:04,479
of us

171
00:06:08,950 --> 00:06:06,960
but never in the daylight this started

172
00:06:11,430 --> 00:06:08,960
with a mound appearing that wasn't there

173
00:06:11,990 --> 00:06:11,440
prior to last fall that was fairly large

174
00:06:14,230 --> 00:06:12,000
size

175
00:06:16,070 --> 00:06:14,240
and built entirely of heavy debris from

176
00:06:18,150 --> 00:06:16,080
that house and broken bamboo

177
00:06:20,070 --> 00:06:18,160
which alone is scary considering no

178
00:06:22,309 --> 00:06:20,080
person can break that in such a way

179
00:06:24,390 --> 00:06:22,319
due to the strength since it first

180
00:06:26,230 --> 00:06:24,400
appeared this mound has constantly

181
00:06:27,350 --> 00:06:26,240
expanded in width and height to an

182
00:06:29,830 --> 00:06:27,360
alarming size

183
00:06:30,790 --> 00:06:29,840
and has several cave-like openings in it

184
00:06:32,550 --> 00:06:30,800
now they have dug

185
00:06:33,990 --> 00:06:32,560
pretty large size tunnels going

186
00:06:35,830 --> 00:06:34,000
underneath it now

187
00:06:37,670 --> 00:06:35,840
i'm concerned as one of them has been

188
00:06:39,590 --> 00:06:37,680
seen coming out of the bamboo

189
00:06:40,790 --> 00:06:39,600
and underneath her house under the

190
00:06:43,029 --> 00:06:40,800
addition in the back

191
00:06:45,510 --> 00:06:43,039
where her dogs at night will not go

192
00:06:48,070 --> 00:06:45,520
alone and act purely terrified

193
00:06:50,150 --> 00:06:48,080
even though still inside the house we

194
00:06:51,830 --> 00:06:50,160
now know that's because these dogs have

195
00:06:53,830 --> 00:06:51,840
known this thinger more than one has

196
00:06:55,430 --> 00:06:53,840
been under her kitchen floor nightly for

197
00:06:57,589 --> 00:06:55,440
who knows how long

198
00:06:59,830 --> 00:06:57,599
the land around the old house alone has

199
00:07:00,469 --> 00:06:59,840
a very strong and bothersome vibe to it

200
00:07:03,430 --> 00:07:00,479
alone

201
00:07:03,990 --> 00:07:03,440
now this what we have seen is a very

202
00:07:06,150 --> 00:07:04,000
thin

203
00:07:07,350 --> 00:07:06,160
and pale figure which doesn't appear to

204
00:07:09,990 --> 00:07:07,360
have normal legs

205
00:07:12,309 --> 00:07:10,000
and very elusive and hostile feeling

206
00:07:13,990 --> 00:07:12,319
aside from very sinister looking yellow

207
00:07:15,990 --> 00:07:14,000
glowing eyes i haven't seen

208
00:07:18,230 --> 00:07:16,000
or has anyone else any other facial

209
00:07:20,629 --> 00:07:18,240
features what do we do

210
00:07:22,550 --> 00:07:20,639
i want to get documentation of this

211
00:07:23,909 --> 00:07:22,560
which i do have pics of this structure

212
00:07:25,909 --> 00:07:23,919
they built over time

213
00:07:28,150 --> 00:07:25,919
but none of them is none of us will dare

214
00:07:29,909 --> 00:07:28,160
attempt to even go out our back door at

215
00:07:31,990 --> 00:07:29,919
night as the edge of the bamboo and

216
00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:32,000
ruins are very close by

217
00:07:38,870 --> 00:07:32,410
yui

218
00:07:43,270 --> 00:07:41,589
possible rake encounter laredo texas my

219
00:07:45,589 --> 00:07:43,280
wife and i were returning from san

220
00:07:46,950 --> 00:07:45,599
antonio texas on a sunday night sometime

221
00:07:48,790 --> 00:07:46,960
around may or june

222
00:07:50,710 --> 00:07:48,800
my wife had fallen asleep and so i

223
00:07:53,670 --> 00:07:50,720
turned up the radio and drove south

224
00:07:54,869 --> 00:07:53,680
taking i-35 into laredo as we approached

225
00:07:56,710 --> 00:07:54,879
the north side of town

226
00:07:59,029 --> 00:07:56,720
i turned the cruise control off and

227
00:08:00,550 --> 00:07:59,039
dropped down from 65 to 60

228
00:08:02,070 --> 00:08:00,560
to negotiate the curve under the

229
00:08:02,950 --> 00:08:02,080
railroad bridge that crossed the

230
00:08:04,869 --> 00:08:02,960
interstate

231
00:08:06,150 --> 00:08:04,879
i was in the right hand lane as i came

232
00:08:07,749 --> 00:08:06,160
close to the bridge

233
00:08:09,189 --> 00:08:07,759
that's when i spotted what at first

234
00:08:11,270 --> 00:08:09,199
looked like a homeless guy

235
00:08:12,710 --> 00:08:11,280
completely naked scuffling along the

236
00:08:15,110 --> 00:08:12,720
embankment of the road

237
00:08:16,390 --> 00:08:15,120
he was skinny pale-skinned and his arms

238
00:08:18,469 --> 00:08:16,400
looked emaciated

239
00:08:20,390 --> 00:08:18,479
as i passed him i had a creepy feeling

240
00:08:21,029 --> 00:08:20,400
that something about this person was all

241
00:08:23,110 --> 00:08:21,039
wrong

242
00:08:25,029 --> 00:08:23,120
the way he moved as well is the way his

243
00:08:25,749 --> 00:08:25,039
arms and legs were more animalistic than

244
00:08:28,070 --> 00:08:25,759
human

245
00:08:29,830 --> 00:08:28,080
with 26 years in law enforcement i

246
00:08:31,350 --> 00:08:29,840
thought about stopping and going back to

247
00:08:33,589 --> 00:08:31,360
see what this guy was doing

248
00:08:34,630 --> 00:08:33,599
however with my wife along and it was

249
00:08:36,949 --> 00:08:34,640
close to midnight

250
00:08:37,829 --> 00:08:36,959
so i just kept going figuring the guy

251
00:08:39,829 --> 00:08:37,839
was drunk

252
00:08:41,430 --> 00:08:39,839
i told my wife about what i had seen

253
00:08:43,269 --> 00:08:41,440
when we arrived at her home

254
00:08:44,870 --> 00:08:43,279
she thought it sounded like some drunken

255
00:08:46,389 --> 00:08:44,880
guy living under the bridge

256
00:08:48,630 --> 00:08:46,399
after meeting you folks and hearing

257
00:08:50,070 --> 00:08:48,640
about the show you do i began listening

258
00:08:51,190 --> 00:08:50,080
when i have a chance

259
00:08:53,110 --> 00:08:51,200
when you mentioned the rake and

260
00:08:55,030 --> 00:08:53,120
described what people were reporting

261
00:08:56,790 --> 00:08:55,040
i looked at the images on the internet

262
00:08:59,269 --> 00:08:56,800
that are reported to be of the rake

263
00:09:01,269 --> 00:08:59,279
and sure enough that is what i saw the

264
00:09:03,509 --> 00:09:01,279
creature was paralleling the road so i

265
00:09:05,269 --> 00:09:03,519
never saw its face her eyes but the body

266
00:09:07,590 --> 00:09:05,279
shape was as close to the drawings

267
00:09:09,430 --> 00:09:07,600
as i care to get every time i approach

268
00:09:11,590 --> 00:09:09,440
that railroad bridge i slow down and

269
00:09:13,030 --> 00:09:11,600
take a second look but so far i've only

270
00:09:20,070 --> 00:09:13,040
seen it the one time

271
00:09:23,670 --> 00:09:21,910
break like humanoid encountered in

272
00:09:26,070 --> 00:09:23,680
sheboygan county michigan

273
00:09:26,790 --> 00:09:26,080
i lived most of my life up to the age of

274
00:09:29,190 --> 00:09:26,800
14

275
00:09:31,509 --> 00:09:29,200
in michigan we lived in the saint joseph

276
00:09:33,509 --> 00:09:31,519
area if anyone is familiar with it

277
00:09:35,590 --> 00:09:33,519
anyway my grandparents lived in the

278
00:09:36,870 --> 00:09:35,600
northern areas of michigan and we would

279
00:09:39,190 --> 00:09:36,880
regularly drive the four

280
00:09:41,110 --> 00:09:39,200
to five plus hour drive and go visit

281
00:09:43,030 --> 00:09:41,120
them either on the way to our lake house

282
00:09:43,990 --> 00:09:43,040
which was a little farther north or just

283
00:09:45,590 --> 00:09:44,000
to see them

284
00:09:47,829 --> 00:09:45,600
they lived in the middle of nowhere you

285
00:09:49,750 --> 00:09:47,839
know 25 minutes to town

286
00:09:51,430 --> 00:09:49,760
sort of thing both of their neighbors

287
00:09:53,750 --> 00:09:51,440
were a mile in each direction

288
00:09:55,190 --> 00:09:53,760
and their property is huge they live in

289
00:09:56,070 --> 00:09:55,200
a small trailer in the middle of the

290
00:09:57,910 --> 00:09:56,080
property

291
00:09:59,829 --> 00:09:57,920
they have two pastures to each side of

292
00:10:01,430 --> 00:09:59,839
the property and in the back they had

293
00:10:02,550 --> 00:10:01,440
miles of trails that would take you

294
00:10:04,550 --> 00:10:02,560
through the woods

295
00:10:06,870 --> 00:10:04,560
my grandfather usually used this for

296
00:10:09,030 --> 00:10:06,880
hunting i was hitting golf balls from

297
00:10:10,790 --> 00:10:09,040
the front of the house into the pasture

298
00:10:13,110 --> 00:10:10,800
i hid all my balls and went to go

299
00:10:13,990 --> 00:10:13,120
collect them i opened the gate and shut

300
00:10:15,829 --> 00:10:14,000
it behind me

301
00:10:18,230 --> 00:10:15,839
so none of the dogs could get through

302
00:10:19,990 --> 00:10:18,240
and i walked around picking up balls

303
00:10:22,230 --> 00:10:20,000
a couple of them went farther than

304
00:10:24,389 --> 00:10:22,240
normal so i had to walk back behind the

305
00:10:26,230 --> 00:10:24,399
pasture area and into the woods

306
00:10:27,829 --> 00:10:26,240
as i was walking i could hear leaves

307
00:10:29,509 --> 00:10:27,839
being crushed but they were like a

308
00:10:31,509 --> 00:10:29,519
little off from my steps

309
00:10:33,509 --> 00:10:31,519
i kept hearing this weird noise come

310
00:10:34,710 --> 00:10:33,519
from behind me kind of like a watery

311
00:10:36,630 --> 00:10:34,720
sound i guess

312
00:10:38,550 --> 00:10:36,640
it was like someone just got out of the

313
00:10:40,310 --> 00:10:38,560
shower and they were dripping wet

314
00:10:42,230 --> 00:10:40,320
but this noise kept stopping and

315
00:10:44,389 --> 00:10:42,240
starting so i just thought it was the

316
00:10:46,470 --> 00:10:44,399
wind blowing water out of the trees

317
00:10:47,829 --> 00:10:46,480
i found my last ball and turned around

318
00:10:49,910 --> 00:10:47,839
to start walking back

319
00:10:52,230 --> 00:10:49,920
and i saw something tallish move behind

320
00:10:54,630 --> 00:10:52,240
a tree i could tell it was taller than

321
00:10:56,389 --> 00:10:54,640
me but didn't really know what it was

322
00:10:58,150 --> 00:10:56,399
being from michigan we've got our fair

323
00:11:00,310 --> 00:10:58,160
share of scary animals that would love

324
00:11:02,470 --> 00:11:00,320
to bite into your meaty flesh but this

325
00:11:03,350 --> 00:11:02,480
was definitely not a wolf and could not

326
00:11:05,350 --> 00:11:03,360
have been a bear

327
00:11:07,030 --> 00:11:05,360
so i kind of stood there frozen just

328
00:11:07,990 --> 00:11:07,040
looking at the tree and bushes the thing

329
00:11:09,670 --> 00:11:08,000
was near

330
00:11:11,990 --> 00:11:09,680
after a while the things started to

331
00:11:12,949 --> 00:11:12,000
creep out it crawled out on its hands

332
00:11:15,190 --> 00:11:12,959
and legs

333
00:11:16,550 --> 00:11:15,200
first i saw its long skinny arms which

334
00:11:18,230 --> 00:11:16,560
followed by its head

335
00:11:20,310 --> 00:11:18,240
it looked up and around and finally

336
00:11:20,870 --> 00:11:20,320
looked at me it crawled the rest of the

337
00:11:23,030 --> 00:11:20,880
way out

338
00:11:24,870 --> 00:11:23,040
and i could see the thing whole it had

339
00:11:25,670 --> 00:11:24,880
skinny arms like it hadn't eaten in a

340
00:11:27,670 --> 00:11:25,680
while

341
00:11:29,030 --> 00:11:27,680
dark looking skin that had a shine to it

342
00:11:31,750 --> 00:11:29,040
like it was slimy

343
00:11:33,350 --> 00:11:31,760
its body was just like a mass of flesh

344
00:11:35,269 --> 00:11:33,360
it didn't look to have a stomach or

345
00:11:36,230 --> 00:11:35,279
chest it was just kinda twisted up and

346
00:11:38,470 --> 00:11:36,240
misformed

347
00:11:39,829 --> 00:11:38,480
its legs were just as long enough kept

348
00:11:41,670 --> 00:11:39,839
up looking as its arms

349
00:11:44,230 --> 00:11:41,680
and both the thing's feet and hands were

350
00:11:45,829 --> 00:11:44,240
elongated not massively or anything

351
00:11:47,350 --> 00:11:45,839
but you could tell it was longer than

352
00:11:49,190 --> 00:11:47,360
your average foot hand

353
00:11:51,110 --> 00:11:49,200
its head was the part i have a really

354
00:11:53,670 --> 00:11:51,120
hard time pinpointing down

355
00:11:54,790 --> 00:11:53,680
it had eyes no hair and a long mouth

356
00:11:57,190 --> 00:11:54,800
that wouldn't open

357
00:11:59,030 --> 00:11:57,200
the nose was just two holes and it had a

358
00:12:01,430 --> 00:11:59,040
very long exaggerated chin

359
00:12:03,350 --> 00:12:01,440
but it kind of looked normal in a way it

360
00:12:03,750 --> 00:12:03,360
stared at me and without opening its

361
00:12:05,509 --> 00:12:03,760
mouth

362
00:12:07,590 --> 00:12:05,519
it made the sounds i had been hearing

363
00:12:08,790 --> 00:12:07,600
which seemed to be made by its nose as

364
00:12:11,509 --> 00:12:08,800
the holes flared

365
00:12:13,190 --> 00:12:11,519
it started to walk around not at me but

366
00:12:15,509 --> 00:12:13,200
just around where it was

367
00:12:17,590 --> 00:12:15,519
then it stood up on two legs it was

368
00:12:18,069 --> 00:12:17,600
probably on about six and a half feet

369
00:12:19,910 --> 00:12:18,079
tall

370
00:12:21,110 --> 00:12:19,920
but its look and appearance made it look

371
00:12:23,190 --> 00:12:21,120
a lot scarier

372
00:12:24,949 --> 00:12:23,200
the thing moved its neck in an unnatural

373
00:12:28,150 --> 00:12:24,959
way and then it looked at me

374
00:12:30,310 --> 00:12:28,160
it was only about 25 yards away way too

375
00:12:32,629 --> 00:12:30,320
close for comfort but i was not about to

376
00:12:34,470 --> 00:12:32,639
move and have this creature charge me

377
00:12:36,949 --> 00:12:34,480
all of a sudden it just bolts right at

378
00:12:37,990 --> 00:12:36,959
me i opened my eyes wide and just

379
00:12:39,750 --> 00:12:38,000
prepared myself

380
00:12:41,509 --> 00:12:39,760
but it ran right by me and through the

381
00:12:43,670 --> 00:12:41,519
woods i turned around

382
00:12:45,990 --> 00:12:43,680
and sure enough it just kept running

383
00:12:46,710 --> 00:12:46,000
sometimes on all fours sometimes on two

384
00:12:49,750 --> 00:12:46,720
legs

385
00:12:50,389 --> 00:12:49,760
its run both ways was unnatural its body

386
00:12:52,870 --> 00:12:50,399
contorted

387
00:12:54,629 --> 00:12:52,880
and just looked so off i ran out of the

388
00:12:55,430 --> 00:12:54,639
pasture and shut the gate behind me

389
00:12:57,750 --> 00:12:55,440
again

390
00:12:59,829 --> 00:12:57,760
i didn't tell my grandparents right away

391
00:13:02,710 --> 00:12:59,839
but a couple months later i did

392
00:13:04,470 --> 00:13:02,720
this was in the summer of 2018. i didn't

393
00:13:05,190 --> 00:13:04,480
tell them until about full of the same

394
00:13:07,350 --> 00:13:05,200
year

395
00:13:08,949 --> 00:13:07,360
my grandfather pulled me aside after i

396
00:13:09,269 --> 00:13:08,959
told him and asked me what it looked

397
00:13:11,910 --> 00:13:09,279
like

398
00:13:13,670 --> 00:13:11,920
exactly i told him and he said he'd seen

399
00:13:15,670 --> 00:13:13,680
it before out on the trails

400
00:13:16,710 --> 00:13:15,680
he didn't say any more just for me not

401
00:13:19,030 --> 00:13:16,720
to be worried

402
00:13:20,550 --> 00:13:19,040
i haven't really told anyone but family

403
00:13:22,870 --> 00:13:20,560
and close friends about this

404
00:13:24,870 --> 00:13:22,880
but i guess that has changed now this

405
00:13:27,350 --> 00:13:24,880
really messed me up for a while

406
00:13:28,629 --> 00:13:27,360
scary thing is too i've seen it after

407
00:13:31,509 --> 00:13:28,639
several times

408
00:13:32,790 --> 00:13:31,519
in different places never at my home but

409
00:13:34,870 --> 00:13:32,800
anywhere up north

410
00:13:36,230 --> 00:13:34,880
even at a late cabin an hour away from

411
00:13:38,710 --> 00:13:36,240
my grandparents

412
00:13:40,710 --> 00:13:38,720
this one was by far the scariest though

413
00:13:42,310 --> 00:13:40,720
i don't know but does anyone have any

414
00:13:44,790 --> 00:13:42,320
possible thing it could be

415
00:13:46,870 --> 00:13:44,800
please help me figure this out this took

416
00:13:48,069 --> 00:13:46,880
