00:00:36,069 --> 00:00:33,920
bipedal wolf encountered northwest

11
00:00:38,229 --> 00:00:36,079
clearfield county pennsylvania

12
00:00:40,470 --> 00:00:38,239
i live in a small town called penfield

13
00:00:42,470 --> 00:00:40,480
in clearfield county pennsylvania

14
00:00:44,150 --> 00:00:42,480
this encounter happened in late july of

15
00:00:46,310 --> 00:00:44,160
this year 2015.

16
00:00:47,910 --> 00:00:46,320
i was driving home from work on boy

17
00:00:49,990 --> 00:00:47,920
scout road in penfield

18
00:00:52,229 --> 00:00:50,000
i usually stick to the main roads when

19
00:00:54,069 --> 00:00:52,239
driving home but sometimes take back

20
00:00:56,150 --> 00:00:54,079
roads to take in the scenery

21
00:00:58,310 --> 00:00:56,160
as i was coming around to bend i saw a

22
00:00:59,590 --> 00:00:58,320
large brownish tan creature crouching on

23
00:01:01,430 --> 00:00:59,600
the side of the road

24
00:01:03,029 --> 00:01:01,440
i slowed down to get a better look

25
00:01:04,070 --> 00:01:03,039
that's when it turned its head towards

26
00:01:05,990 --> 00:01:04,080
my vehicle

27
00:01:07,990 --> 00:01:06,000
it had a large head and yellowish glow

28
00:01:10,310 --> 00:01:08,000
to its eyes and the long nose

29
00:01:11,750 --> 00:01:10,320
i couldn't believe what i was looking at

30
00:01:13,990 --> 00:01:11,760
it was eating road kill

31
00:01:15,990 --> 00:01:14,000
i believe the deer at this point i

32
00:01:17,830 --> 00:01:16,000
slammed my foot into the gas pedal and

33
00:01:18,710 --> 00:01:17,840
didn't let off the gas until i reached

34
00:01:21,030 --> 00:01:18,720
my home

35
00:01:22,950 --> 00:01:21,040
i then jumped out of my car ran into my

36
00:01:25,030 --> 00:01:22,960
house and locked my doors

37
00:01:27,510 --> 00:01:25,040
i grabbed my rifle from my closet and

38
00:01:29,429 --> 00:01:27,520
loaded it i then went into my basement

39
00:01:31,510 --> 00:01:29,439
and took out a silver letter opener that

40
00:01:32,310 --> 00:01:31,520
i had gotten after my grandfather passed

41
00:01:34,550 --> 00:01:32,320
away

42
00:01:36,149 --> 00:01:34,560
i haven't seen anything since but i

43
00:01:38,069 --> 00:01:36,159
would like to add that about a month

44
00:01:39,510 --> 00:01:38,079
prior to this i was at the local minute

45
00:01:41,350 --> 00:01:39,520
mark getting gas

46
00:01:43,830 --> 00:01:41,360
a game commission officer pulled up to

47
00:01:46,310 --> 00:01:43,840
the next pump attached to his truck was

48
00:01:48,550 --> 00:01:46,320
a trailer and in that trailer was an elk

49
00:01:50,469 --> 00:01:48,560
a lot of elks have radio collars and

50
00:01:52,469 --> 00:01:50,479
when one dies it's the game commission's

51
00:01:53,670 --> 00:01:52,479
job to figure out how it died and to

52
00:01:55,749 --> 00:01:53,680
take samples

53
00:01:57,510 --> 00:01:55,759
i asked the man what had happened to it

54
00:01:58,389 --> 00:01:57,520
it was a young elk maybe two to three

55
00:02:00,550 --> 00:01:58,399
years at most

56
00:02:01,910 --> 00:02:00,560
it looked fine to me except for the fact

57
00:02:04,149 --> 00:02:01,920
that the throat was slit

58
00:02:05,830 --> 00:02:04,159
he told me he had no clue and that when

59
00:02:08,389 --> 00:02:05,840
they found it the collar it had been

60
00:02:09,990 --> 00:02:08,399
wearing was about 10 feet away he said

61
00:02:11,830 --> 00:02:10,000
at first they thought it was a bear as

62
00:02:13,670 --> 00:02:11,840
it's the only animal around here large

63
00:02:15,589 --> 00:02:13,680
enough to take down a bull elk

64
00:02:17,110 --> 00:02:15,599
but there was no evidence indicating it

65
00:02:19,350 --> 00:02:17,120
was a bear plus

66
00:02:20,150 --> 00:02:19,360
he told me the cut on its throat was too

67
00:02:22,070 --> 00:02:20,160
clean

68
00:02:23,750 --> 00:02:22,080
after that conversation i didn't think

69
00:02:24,630 --> 00:02:23,760
too much of it until i saw that thing

70
00:02:27,030 --> 00:02:24,640
that night

71
00:02:29,110 --> 00:02:27,040
i'm a very facts based person and i

72
00:02:31,509 --> 00:02:29,120
don't hold any personal beliefs as far

73
00:02:33,270 --> 00:02:31,519
as supernatural things are concerned

74
00:02:34,550 --> 00:02:33,280
but since that night i don't know what

75
00:02:36,390 --> 00:02:34,560
to think anymore

76
00:02:38,390 --> 00:02:36,400
the reason i'm writing this to you is

77
00:02:40,390 --> 00:02:38,400
because i saw that back in november you

78
00:02:42,710 --> 00:02:40,400
wrote about a man on state game lands

79
00:02:44,710 --> 00:02:42,720
331 seeing a similar creature

80
00:02:46,550 --> 00:02:44,720
i lived in this town my whole life and

81
00:02:47,670 --> 00:02:46,560
spent more time in the woods than any

82
00:02:49,670 --> 00:02:47,680
place else

83
00:02:51,430 --> 00:02:49,680
i've seen all the animals around here

84
00:02:52,309 --> 00:02:51,440
and i can tell you this thing was not

85
00:02:59,750 --> 00:02:52,319
natural

86
00:03:03,750 --> 00:03:02,229
two huge cryptid canines attack men in

87
00:03:06,309 --> 00:03:03,760
southern ontario

88
00:03:07,990 --> 00:03:06,319
we got into the field and fanned out i

89
00:03:09,750 --> 00:03:08,000
was farthest to the right

90
00:03:11,830 --> 00:03:09,760
straight ahead in the distance was a

91
00:03:13,030 --> 00:03:11,840
blue flash of light that originated in

92
00:03:15,350 --> 00:03:13,040
the cemetery

93
00:03:16,390 --> 00:03:15,360
it looked like it was 10 to 15 feet off

94
00:03:18,229 --> 00:03:16,400
the ground

95
00:03:19,750 --> 00:03:18,239
then a loud crashing thump like

96
00:03:21,589 --> 00:03:19,760
something heavy fell

97
00:03:23,350 --> 00:03:21,599
then a few hundred feet to the left the

98
00:03:26,070 --> 00:03:23,360
exact same thing happened

99
00:03:27,910 --> 00:03:26,080
like a blue ring-shaped flash of light

100
00:03:30,229 --> 00:03:27,920
these things tore out of the trees and

101
00:03:32,309 --> 00:03:30,239
into the corn at an incredible speed

102
00:03:33,430 --> 00:03:32,319
faster than any live creature i'd ever

103
00:03:35,910 --> 00:03:33,440
seen move

104
00:03:37,830 --> 00:03:35,920
supernatural fast whatever they were

105
00:03:38,390 --> 00:03:37,840
then began to bluff charge me and my

106
00:03:40,470 --> 00:03:38,400
friends

107
00:03:42,550 --> 00:03:40,480
running at me three or four times and

108
00:03:43,509 --> 00:03:42,560
stopping just outside of the range of

109
00:03:46,229 --> 00:03:43,519
direct sight

110
00:03:48,229 --> 00:03:46,239
maybe two or three rows of corn away

111
00:03:50,869 --> 00:03:48,239
they were as big as grizzly bears

112
00:03:52,630 --> 00:03:50,879
and fast as race cars they were going

113
00:03:54,470 --> 00:03:52,640
between me and my buddies

114
00:03:57,270 --> 00:03:54,480
then i saw the head and shoulders of the

115
00:03:59,110 --> 00:03:57,280
one a large wolf-like head with pointed

116
00:04:01,270 --> 00:03:59,120
ears and broad shoulders

117
00:04:03,110 --> 00:04:01,280
the head had no neck and was situated

118
00:04:05,910 --> 00:04:03,120
directly on the shoulders

119
00:04:08,070 --> 00:04:05,920
it was a terrifying sight there was zero

120
00:04:08,869 --> 00:04:08,080
doubt in my mind as to what i had just

121
00:04:11,589 --> 00:04:08,879
seen

122
00:04:13,270 --> 00:04:11,599
it was ten feet away at the max just

123
00:04:15,750 --> 00:04:13,280
then it charged me from the front

124
00:04:17,030 --> 00:04:15,760
and left and then my beauty's dog came

125
00:04:19,030 --> 00:04:17,040
in from the right

126
00:04:21,270 --> 00:04:19,040
i thought i had been flanked and almost

127
00:04:21,990 --> 00:04:21,280
shot the dog who was losing her mind at

128
00:04:23,670 --> 00:04:22,000
the time

129
00:04:25,430 --> 00:04:23,680
whining and whimpering and shaking

130
00:04:27,670 --> 00:04:25,440
profusely non-stop

131
00:04:29,909 --> 00:04:27,680
at that point i started praying to jesus

132
00:04:30,870 --> 00:04:29,919
christ and the two dog creatures or

133
00:04:32,950 --> 00:04:30,880
whatever they were

134
00:04:34,629 --> 00:04:32,960
instantly turned and high tailed it out

135
00:04:35,670 --> 00:04:34,639
of the cornfield back towards the

136
00:04:37,990 --> 00:04:35,680
cemetery

137
00:04:39,830 --> 00:04:38,000
so my buddies and i found each other and

138
00:04:40,950 --> 00:04:39,840
the guys said that they had been being

139
00:04:42,790 --> 00:04:40,960
charged too

140
00:04:45,590 --> 00:04:42,800
the guy who had driven us there said he

141
00:04:47,510 --> 00:04:45,600
had seen it i told him i did also

142
00:04:49,990 --> 00:04:47,520
i continued to pray as i looked in the

143
00:04:52,710 --> 00:04:50,000
direction where i saw them run off to

144
00:04:54,550 --> 00:04:52,720
we had a serious job still to do there

145
00:04:55,430 --> 00:04:54,560
were thousands of dollars sitting in the

146
00:04:57,590 --> 00:04:55,440
field

147
00:04:59,430 --> 00:04:57,600
we got things harvested and wrapped up

148
00:05:01,510 --> 00:04:59,440
ready to move out of there

149
00:05:03,189 --> 00:05:01,520
well they doubled back around on us

150
00:05:05,110 --> 00:05:03,199
because when my friend and i were

151
00:05:07,510 --> 00:05:05,120
struggling with dragging the big blue

152
00:05:07,909 --> 00:05:07,520
tarp full back along the tractor access

153
00:05:10,550 --> 00:05:07,919
route

154
00:05:12,390 --> 00:05:10,560
we passed a large bush one of these

155
00:05:15,350 --> 00:05:12,400
creatures was right there

156
00:05:16,070 --> 00:05:15,360
my friend screams out there's a wolf as

157
00:05:18,710 --> 00:05:16,080
i looked up

158
00:05:21,189 --> 00:05:18,720
it was running like a man on two legs

159
00:05:23,830 --> 00:05:21,199
the creature only ran about 10 feet into

160
00:05:25,749 --> 00:05:23,840
the woods and stopped dead in its tracks

161
00:05:27,909 --> 00:05:25,759
my friend and i were ready to go

162
00:05:28,790 --> 00:05:27,919
and he says to me is it coming back to

163
00:05:31,510 --> 00:05:28,800
get us

164
00:05:33,029 --> 00:05:31,520
i just started praying out loud again

165
00:05:35,590 --> 00:05:33,039
nothing else happened

166
00:05:36,950 --> 00:05:35,600
we dragged everything to the car because

167
00:05:39,830 --> 00:05:36,960
it's a little hatchback

168
00:05:41,350 --> 00:05:39,840
someone had to stay behind so i thought

169
00:05:43,189 --> 00:05:41,360
well this is great

170
00:05:45,590 --> 00:05:43,199
there's something seriously messed up

171
00:05:47,029 --> 00:05:45,600
going on here that only seems to be kept

172
00:05:49,189 --> 00:05:47,039
at bay by prayer

173
00:05:51,189 --> 00:05:49,199
these guys don't know i've been praying

174
00:05:52,390 --> 00:05:51,199
so one of them is going to get killed if

175
00:05:54,150 --> 00:05:52,400
i don't stay

176
00:05:57,029 --> 00:05:54,160
i think that it was the holy spirit

177
00:05:59,270 --> 00:05:57,039
protecting me i strongly felt it

178
00:06:00,790 --> 00:05:59,280
so the dog and i stayed behind and spent

179
00:06:03,189 --> 00:06:00,800
the next hour on the road

180
00:06:05,670 --> 00:06:03,199
as she whined and cried and freaked out

181
00:06:07,830 --> 00:06:05,680
i was praying and holding my ground

182
00:06:09,670 --> 00:06:07,840
i did notice that one creature came up

183
00:06:11,590 --> 00:06:09,680
behind the embankment that was along the

184
00:06:14,469 --> 00:06:11,600
entrance to the field and stood there

185
00:06:16,230 --> 00:06:14,479
pacing back and forth i then saw other

186
00:06:17,270 --> 00:06:16,240
creature was now on the other side of

187
00:06:19,590 --> 00:06:17,280
the entrance road

188
00:06:20,710 --> 00:06:19,600
behind a huge blackberry bush that hangs

189
00:06:23,430 --> 00:06:20,720
over the ditch

190
00:06:25,590 --> 00:06:23,440
it was not more than ten feet from us

191
00:06:27,270 --> 00:06:25,600
the dog was freaking out so badly that

192
00:06:28,950 --> 00:06:27,280
it almost got to me

193
00:06:31,510 --> 00:06:28,960
i thought she might just drop from a

194
00:06:31,909 --> 00:06:31,520
heart attack every time i see the dog

195
00:06:36,870 --> 00:06:31,919
now

196
00:06:39,110 --> 00:06:36,880
just gives me a look and starts shaking

197
00:06:39,909 --> 00:06:39,120
she has strongly bonded to me since that

198
00:06:41,749 --> 00:06:39,919
day

199
00:06:43,830 --> 00:06:41,759
i was never so happy as when those

200
00:06:46,390 --> 00:06:43,840
headlights came back over that hill

201
00:06:48,070 --> 00:06:46,400
and my friend pulled up to get us it

202
00:06:50,710 --> 00:06:48,080
seemed like forever we were on that

203
00:06:51,990 --> 00:06:50,720
road but in reality it may have been one

204
00:06:54,309 --> 00:06:52,000
hour tops

205
00:06:56,309 --> 00:06:54,319
when we got back my friend said did you

206
00:07:00,830 --> 00:06:56,319
see the size of that dog bro

207
00:07:00,840 --> 00:07:05,270
it

208
00:07:09,270 --> 00:07:07,270
pretty devil dog encountered near bray

209
00:07:11,589 --> 00:07:09,280
road in southeast wisconsin

210
00:07:13,830 --> 00:07:11,599
back in 2012 my friends and i used to

211
00:07:15,430 --> 00:07:13,840
meet up every night to go cruise around

212
00:07:17,189 --> 00:07:15,440
we all lived with our parents so we

213
00:07:19,350 --> 00:07:17,199
didn't have much of an option

214
00:07:20,950 --> 00:07:19,360
we worked in retail so we'd all usually

215
00:07:23,350 --> 00:07:20,960
be off around 10 pm

216
00:07:24,790 --> 00:07:23,360
and would meet up around 11 pm and go

217
00:07:26,950 --> 00:07:24,800
for an evening drive

218
00:07:29,029 --> 00:07:26,960
one night was the usual two friends came

219
00:07:30,790 --> 00:07:29,039
and picked me up in my buddy's green van

220
00:07:32,950 --> 00:07:30,800
and we drove a little out of town to a

221
00:07:35,189 --> 00:07:32,960
popular country road cruise spot

222
00:07:36,550 --> 00:07:35,199
it was unusually foggy i believe it was

223
00:07:38,710 --> 00:07:36,560
a late spring night

224
00:07:40,230 --> 00:07:38,720
as we were riding around something crazy

225
00:07:41,909 --> 00:07:40,240
and unexplained happened

226
00:07:43,430 --> 00:07:41,919
my friend was driving and out of the

227
00:07:46,150 --> 00:07:43,440
[\h__\h] i saw something

228
00:07:48,070 --> 00:07:46,160
it was a dog but not like one i ever saw

229
00:07:49,909 --> 00:07:48,080
it had long gnarled black hair that

230
00:07:51,110 --> 00:07:49,919
formed into mangled dreadlocks that went

231
00:07:53,270 --> 00:07:51,120
down to the ground

232
00:07:55,270 --> 00:07:53,280
it had long big short teeth bigger than

233
00:07:57,670 --> 00:07:55,280
i've ever seen on a dog before

234
00:07:59,110 --> 00:07:57,680
and it had beady piercing red eyes my

235
00:08:01,189 --> 00:07:59,120
friend who was driving

236
00:08:03,350 --> 00:08:01,199
saw it as soon as i did dan yelled holy

237
00:08:05,110 --> 00:08:03,360
crap and slammed the bricks

238
00:08:06,950 --> 00:08:05,120
we hid the thing and it disappeared into

239
00:08:08,550 --> 00:08:06,960
thin air we got out of the car

240
00:08:10,629 --> 00:08:08,560
immediately and looked around

241
00:08:12,150 --> 00:08:10,639
there was nothing no evidence of

242
00:08:14,309 --> 00:08:12,160
anything no fur

243
00:08:15,749 --> 00:08:14,319
no blood it didn't even feel like we hid

244
00:08:17,430 --> 00:08:15,759
anything but we did

245
00:08:19,670 --> 00:08:17,440
at this point we hadn't discussed what

246
00:08:21,589 --> 00:08:19,680
we saw yet so i asked my friend

247
00:08:23,749 --> 00:08:21,599
and he gave the exact same description

248
00:08:26,150 --> 00:08:23,759
as me the guy in the back seat didn't

249
00:08:27,589 --> 00:08:26,160
see anything and was very confused we

250
00:08:29,430 --> 00:08:27,599
called it an early night

251
00:08:31,270 --> 00:08:29,440
we didn't talk or say much the rest of

252
00:08:32,230 --> 00:08:31,280
the way but we still talk about it to

253
00:08:34,149 --> 00:08:32,240
this day

254
00:08:36,550 --> 00:08:34,159
i know that we both both saw the exact

255
00:08:38,550 --> 00:08:36,560
same thing some have doubted my story

256
00:08:41,190 --> 00:08:38,560
over the years and said we were high

257
00:08:42,469 --> 00:08:41,200
but this was a shared experience we both

258
00:08:44,790 --> 00:08:42,479
saw the same thing

259
00:08:46,150 --> 00:08:44,800
to this day i'm legitimately curious as

260
00:08:47,990 --> 00:08:46,160
to what this was

261
00:08:49,269 --> 00:08:48,000
some have told me it's a devil dog an

262
00:08:51,110 --> 00:08:49,279
old irish legend

263
00:08:53,030 --> 00:08:51,120
what makes this very strange is there is

264
00:08:54,870 --> 00:08:53,040
a barn less than half a mile from our

265
00:08:55,829 --> 00:08:54,880
siding in which two sisters committed

266
00:08:57,829 --> 00:08:55,839
suicide

267
00:09:00,470 --> 00:08:57,839
this is also about half an hour away

268
00:09:05,990 --> 00:09:00,480
from gray road the local werewolf legend

269
00:09:09,430 --> 00:09:08,550
this is lon strickler if you like this

270
00:09:11,190 --> 00:09:09,440

271
00:09:12,550 --> 00:09:11,200
it would help us if you would give it a

00:09:15,430 --> 00:09:12,560
