12
00:00:41,670 --> 00:00:39,360
so i don't have to stop and explain

13
00:00:42,869 --> 00:00:41,680
later first i need to say that my mother

14
00:00:45,270 --> 00:00:42,879
is a medium

15
00:00:47,190 --> 00:00:45,280
she can see ghosts shadow people and

16
00:00:49,270 --> 00:00:47,200
entities from other places

17
00:00:50,950 --> 00:00:49,280
i don't have her abilities but she is

18
00:00:53,990 --> 00:00:50,960
able to feel things through me

19
00:00:55,510 --> 00:00:54,000
no matter how far apart we are for fun i

20
00:00:57,430 --> 00:00:55,520
used to hold a key or ring of a

21
00:00:59,270 --> 00:00:57,440
co-worker and she would do a reading

22
00:01:01,270 --> 00:00:59,280
that way while i was at work

23
00:01:03,510 --> 00:01:01,280
and the info she got made many of them

24
00:01:06,230 --> 00:01:03,520
cry so with that in mind

25
00:01:07,750 --> 00:01:06,240
back in 2012 i was living in virginia

26
00:01:09,830 --> 00:01:07,760
she was in ohio

27
00:01:12,070 --> 00:01:09,840
a girl i was dating lived in a small

28
00:01:13,109 --> 00:01:12,080
home along poplar road in fredericksburg

29
00:01:15,830 --> 00:01:13,119
virginia

30
00:01:17,510 --> 00:01:15,840
she was a ways out surrounded by woods

31
00:01:18,630 --> 00:01:17,520
for weeks she had been telling me she

32
00:01:20,469 --> 00:01:18,640
had been having bad

33
00:01:22,390 --> 00:01:20,479
feelings about her property and

34
00:01:23,350 --> 00:01:22,400
constantly feeling like she was being

35
00:01:25,429 --> 00:01:23,360
watched

36
00:01:27,590 --> 00:01:25,439
one night while we were talking about it

37
00:01:28,550 --> 00:01:27,600
i decided to call my mom and get her

38
00:01:30,310 --> 00:01:28,560
opinion

39
00:01:32,390 --> 00:01:30,320
mom said she could feel something

40
00:01:33,030 --> 00:01:32,400
negative but it was trying to hide from

41
00:01:35,749 --> 00:01:33,040
her

42
00:01:37,429 --> 00:01:35,759
it was not far behind the girl's home

43
00:01:39,830 --> 00:01:37,439
not sure what i was thinking

44
00:01:41,830 --> 00:01:39,840
but i decided to go out back and see if

45
00:01:44,230 --> 00:01:41,840
i could see anything or get closer

46
00:01:46,230 --> 00:01:44,240
and maybe she could get a better red i

47
00:01:47,109 --> 00:01:46,240
remember this night was dark with no

48
00:01:49,270 --> 00:01:47,119
moon

49
00:01:51,429 --> 00:01:49,280
i was on the phone and my girlfriend was

50
00:01:53,670 --> 00:01:51,439
using her phone light to guide us

51
00:01:56,310 --> 00:01:53,680
about 30 yards into the woods my mom

52
00:01:58,389 --> 00:01:56,320
suddenly told us to stop and back up

53
00:01:59,830 --> 00:01:58,399
the entity was right in front of us and

54
00:02:01,749 --> 00:01:59,840
it was pure evil

55
00:02:04,230 --> 00:02:01,759
i didn't see anything but did as she

56
00:02:06,469 --> 00:02:04,240
asked she went on to say that whatever

57
00:02:07,030 --> 00:02:06,479
it was had been in the area a very long

58
00:02:08,790 --> 00:02:07,040
time

59
00:02:11,350 --> 00:02:08,800
and people do rituals in the woods

60
00:02:13,350 --> 00:02:11,360
nearby that give this being power

61
00:02:15,110 --> 00:02:13,360
and sadly there would be nothing anyone

62
00:02:17,270 --> 00:02:15,120
could do to chase it off

63
00:02:19,190 --> 00:02:17,280
she advised the girl to move and try to

64
00:02:22,150 --> 00:02:19,200
not think about the being or it may

65
00:02:24,390 --> 00:02:22,160
follow and that would be very bad a few

66
00:02:26,390 --> 00:02:24,400
hours later i stepped out the front door

67
00:02:28,309 --> 00:02:26,400
and took two steps to the left to be

68
00:02:30,869 --> 00:02:28,319
startled by something jumping up from

69
00:02:32,630 --> 00:02:30,879
behind a bush maybe three feet away

70
00:02:34,710 --> 00:02:32,640
it was pitch black i couldn't see

71
00:02:35,990 --> 00:02:34,720
anything but whatever it was took off

72
00:02:38,470 --> 00:02:36,000
running into the woods going

73
00:02:40,309 --> 00:02:38,480
north it was clearly a two-legged

74
00:02:42,630 --> 00:02:40,319
creature and it being late fall

75
00:02:44,150 --> 00:02:42,640
i could hear the steps on the dry leaves

76
00:02:46,150 --> 00:02:44,160
quickly disappearing

77
00:02:48,150 --> 00:02:46,160
it was zigzagging through the trees of a

78
00:02:50,070 --> 00:02:48,160
rate that seemed impossible due to the

79
00:02:51,110 --> 00:02:50,080
darkness and number of trees it had to

80
00:02:53,110 --> 00:02:51,120
run through

81
00:02:54,390 --> 00:02:53,120
the terror that hit me all i could do

82
00:02:56,309 --> 00:02:54,400
was stand there

83
00:02:58,229 --> 00:02:56,319
it seemed to navigate through the dark

84
00:02:59,990 --> 00:02:58,239
and trees faster than i could have run

85
00:03:02,550 --> 00:03:00,000
down a straight roadway

86
00:03:04,630 --> 00:03:02,560
looking back if i had to guess i think

87
00:03:06,949 --> 00:03:04,640
it may have been a dogma based on the

88
00:03:09,350 --> 00:03:06,959
speed and the likeness of the steps

89
00:03:10,710 --> 00:03:09,360
it definitely didn't sound like a 800

90
00:03:12,869 --> 00:03:10,720
pound bigfoot

91
00:03:14,710 --> 00:03:12,879
i think about this night still because i

92
00:03:16,550 --> 00:03:14,720
just don't know what it was

93
00:03:19,190 --> 00:03:16,560
and could it have been working alongside

94
00:03:21,670 --> 00:03:19,200
the evil entity strange coincidence to

95
00:03:23,830 --> 00:03:21,680
have both these events in one night

96
00:03:25,350 --> 00:03:23,840
maybe not a great story but one that

97
00:03:33,910 --> 00:03:25,360
i'll never forget

98
00:03:37,670 --> 00:03:36,149
upright canine dogman charges witnesses

99
00:03:40,229 --> 00:03:37,680
in northeast montana

100
00:03:42,070 --> 00:03:40,239
this incident occurred in summer of 1993

101
00:03:44,229 --> 00:03:42,080
in rural northeast montana

102
00:03:45,589 --> 00:03:44,239
while driving home one evening i spot

103
00:03:46,390 --> 00:03:45,599
something in the middle of the road up

104
00:03:48,309 --> 00:03:46,400
ahead

105
00:03:49,509 --> 00:03:48,319
my friend in the passenger seat notices

106
00:03:52,149 --> 00:03:49,519
it at the same time

107
00:03:52,550 --> 00:03:52,159
and says what the f is that dude at

108
00:03:54,390 --> 00:03:52,560
first

109
00:03:56,390 --> 00:03:54,400
we can't tell what we are looking at but

110
00:03:57,830 --> 00:03:56,400
as the car draws nearer to the big black

111
00:04:00,309 --> 00:03:57,840
shape in the middle of the road

112
00:04:01,190 --> 00:04:00,319
it starts to look like a massive fur i

113
00:04:03,030 --> 00:04:01,200
think it must be an

114
00:04:04,229 --> 00:04:03,040
animal but it looks big enough to do

115
00:04:05,990 --> 00:04:04,239
damage to my car

116
00:04:08,229 --> 00:04:06,000
so i slowed down and stopped the car

117
00:04:09,750 --> 00:04:08,239
about 20 feet away from the thing

118
00:04:11,429 --> 00:04:09,760
at this point it is completely

119
00:04:13,110 --> 00:04:11,439
illuminated by the headlights

120
00:04:15,429 --> 00:04:13,120
but neither of us can figure out what

121
00:04:17,430 --> 00:04:15,439
the hell kind of animal it might be

122
00:04:19,430 --> 00:04:17,440
since it hasn't moved we assume it must

123
00:04:21,509 --> 00:04:19,440
be dead and start to argue over who will

124
00:04:23,670 --> 00:04:21,519
drag it over to the side of the road

125
00:04:25,510 --> 00:04:23,680
that's when the thing starts to rise up

126
00:04:27,909 --> 00:04:25,520
we silently watch as it stirs

127
00:04:29,990 --> 00:04:27,919
then suddenly stands up i preface the

128
00:04:30,950 --> 00:04:30,000
next part of the story with i know this

129
00:04:33,510 --> 00:04:30,960
sounds crazy

130
00:04:35,189 --> 00:04:33,520
but i really can't describe what i saw

131
00:04:36,070 --> 00:04:35,199
because i had never seen anything like

132
00:04:38,310 --> 00:04:36,080
it before

133
00:04:39,350 --> 00:04:38,320
the closest i can come is this the thing

134
00:04:41,350 --> 00:04:39,360
whatever it was

135
00:04:42,550 --> 00:04:41,360
was about seven feet tall when it rose

136
00:04:44,629 --> 00:04:42,560
to its full height

137
00:04:46,950 --> 00:04:44,639
its body was shaped like a human bail

138
00:04:49,189 --> 00:04:46,960
but it was covered with a thick dark fur

139
00:04:51,270 --> 00:04:49,199
the hat was not human it looked almost

140
00:04:53,030 --> 00:04:51,280
like a jackal or german shepherd with a

141
00:04:54,310 --> 00:04:53,040
long snout and pointed ears

142
00:04:56,150 --> 00:04:54,320
and its eyes were blowing in the

143
00:04:57,510 --> 00:04:56,160
headlights the way that a cat's eyes

144
00:04:59,670 --> 00:04:57,520
sometimes glow

145
00:05:01,270 --> 00:04:59,680
it was staring right at us i don't know

146
00:05:03,029 --> 00:05:01,280
how long we stared back at the thing

147
00:05:04,790 --> 00:05:03,039
before we noticed that it was clutching

148
00:05:05,270 --> 00:05:04,800
a dead rabbit in one of its enormous

149
00:05:07,590 --> 00:05:05,280
hands

150
00:05:09,430 --> 00:05:07,600
or pause i had barely had time to

151
00:05:10,070 --> 00:05:09,440
register this bit of information when

152
00:05:11,990 --> 00:05:10,080
the creature

153
00:05:14,070 --> 00:05:12,000
suddenly flung the dead rabbit away and

154
00:05:16,070 --> 00:05:14,080
took several steps for the car

155
00:05:17,990 --> 00:05:16,080
we both screamed and i slammed the car

156
00:05:26,950 --> 00:05:18,000
into reverse made a u-turn

157
00:05:30,390 --> 00:05:28,710
terrifying upright canine dogman

158
00:05:31,670 --> 00:05:30,400
encounter in madness kasu sit in the

159
00:05:33,430 --> 00:05:31,680
valley alaska

160
00:05:35,029 --> 00:05:33,440
i was traveling on a local road in the

161
00:05:37,830 --> 00:05:35,039
mannuskasus in the valley

162
00:05:40,230 --> 00:05:37,840
about 30 miles north of anchorage alaska

163
00:05:41,830 --> 00:05:40,240
this occurred in the fall of 1998

164
00:05:43,830 --> 00:05:41,840
it was close to midnight when my

165
00:05:44,469 --> 00:05:43,840
headlights caught a large dark figure up

166
00:05:46,390 --> 00:05:44,479
ahead

167
00:05:48,150 --> 00:05:46,400
i'm bad at judging distance but i

168
00:05:48,870 --> 00:05:48,160
believe it was maybe six car lengths

169
00:05:51,189 --> 00:05:48,880
away

170
00:05:52,070 --> 00:05:51,199
i instinctively let off the gas coasting

171
00:05:54,230 --> 00:05:52,080
closer

172
00:05:55,990 --> 00:05:54,240
at first i assumed it was a moose as the

173
00:05:59,510 --> 00:05:56,000
areas infested with them

174
00:06:02,629 --> 00:05:59,520
but no it was standing upright bear then

175
00:06:04,230 --> 00:06:02,639
no not a bear it looked so strange it

176
00:06:06,469 --> 00:06:04,240
was tall enough to be an uncommonly

177
00:06:07,990 --> 00:06:06,479
large bear but far too slender

178
00:06:09,510 --> 00:06:08,000
it looked like it had spikes running

179
00:06:11,749 --> 00:06:09,520
down his neck and back

180
00:06:13,350 --> 00:06:11,759
was i being pranked all those thoughts

181
00:06:14,230 --> 00:06:13,360
ran through my head in a fraction of a

182
00:06:16,150 --> 00:06:14,240
second

183
00:06:17,749 --> 00:06:16,160
the car was still coasting closer and i

184
00:06:19,990 --> 00:06:17,759
could see more details

185
00:06:20,870 --> 00:06:20,000
it was standing in profile gazing across

186
00:06:22,790 --> 00:06:20,880
the road

187
00:06:24,469 --> 00:06:22,800
i could clearly see his wolf-like muzzle

188
00:06:26,070 --> 00:06:24,479
in large upright ears

189
00:06:28,309 --> 00:06:26,080
the spikes on his back were in fact

190
00:06:30,230 --> 00:06:28,319
clumps of fur his spine curved in a

191
00:06:32,150 --> 00:06:30,240
smooth very natural looking way

192
00:06:33,510 --> 00:06:32,160
it was standing in the ditch inches from

193
00:06:35,590 --> 00:06:33,520
the road's surface

194
00:06:37,590 --> 00:06:35,600
because i was focused on its upper body

195
00:06:39,510 --> 00:06:37,600
i do not recall anything about its back

196
00:06:41,670 --> 00:06:39,520
legs or if it had a tail

197
00:06:42,790 --> 00:06:41,680
i did see his front legs though these

198
00:06:44,390 --> 00:06:42,800
were very dog-like

199
00:06:47,029 --> 00:06:44,400
hanging awkwardly down and slightly

200
00:06:48,550 --> 00:06:47,039
towards front exactly as you'd expect if

201
00:06:50,309 --> 00:06:48,560
a dog stood upright

202
00:06:51,990 --> 00:06:50,319
while it clearly had a canine look there

203
00:06:53,270 --> 00:06:52,000
was still something off about it that i

204
00:06:55,589 --> 00:06:53,280
could not articulate

205
00:06:57,430 --> 00:06:55,599
it was perfectly still and at this point

206
00:06:59,270 --> 00:06:57,440
given the proximity to halloween

207
00:07:01,270 --> 00:06:59,280
i was quite convinced it was some sort

208
00:07:01,990 --> 00:07:01,280
of halloween prop because it was clearly

209
00:07:04,070 --> 00:07:02,000
not any kind

210
00:07:05,589 --> 00:07:04,080
of existing animal i was deeply

211
00:07:06,150 --> 00:07:05,599
impressed and gently stepped on the

212
00:07:08,710 --> 00:07:06,160
brakes

213
00:07:10,629 --> 00:07:08,720
intending to stop and examine it closely

214
00:07:12,469 --> 00:07:10,639
then it turned his head towards me

215
00:07:14,390 --> 00:07:12,479
in the tiny fraction of a second that it

216
00:07:16,150 --> 00:07:14,400
took for it to swivel his head i knew i

217
00:07:17,909 --> 00:07:16,160
had made a terrible mistake

218
00:07:19,510 --> 00:07:17,919
the fluidness of this movement removed

219
00:07:20,550 --> 00:07:19,520
any and all doubt that this was some

220
00:07:23,110 --> 00:07:20,560
kind of prop

221
00:07:24,950 --> 00:07:23,120
it was horribly terrifyingly alive the

222
00:07:25,749 --> 00:07:24,960
pale off-white glow of its eye shine in

223
00:07:27,749 --> 00:07:25,759
the headlights

224
00:07:30,150 --> 00:07:27,759
destroyed any possibility of a human in

225
00:07:31,670 --> 00:07:30,160
a costume i think i sat there gaping at

226
00:07:33,830 --> 00:07:31,680
it in shock for a few seconds

227
00:07:35,029 --> 00:07:33,840
the car barely moving by now but still

228
00:07:37,029 --> 00:07:35,039
inching closer

229
00:07:38,550 --> 00:07:37,039
as i was almost upon it i think it could

230
00:07:39,430 --> 00:07:38,560
have leaned forward and touched the car

231
00:07:42,070 --> 00:07:39,440
if it wanted

232
00:07:44,309 --> 00:07:42,080
i had to look up to see his face again

233
00:07:45,189 --> 00:07:44,319
i'm a bad judge of such things but i am

234
00:07:46,790 --> 00:07:45,199
five foot four

235
00:07:49,430 --> 00:07:46,800
and it was a hell of a lot taller than

236
00:07:51,350 --> 00:07:49,440
me tall like a polar bear standing

237
00:07:53,749 --> 00:07:51,360
seven to eight feet at least i really

238
00:07:55,270 --> 00:07:53,759
can't say i snapped out of my trance and

239
00:07:57,270 --> 00:07:55,280
slammed on the gas

240
00:07:58,550 --> 00:07:57,280
the car fishtailed and i prepared myself

241
00:08:00,469 --> 00:07:58,560
for death by monster

242
00:08:02,150 --> 00:08:00,479
as i was certain i'd end up in the ditch

243
00:08:04,070 --> 00:08:02,160
but the tires caught the pavement

244
00:08:13,430 --> 00:08:04,080
and i drove like a complete maniac all

245
00:08:15,430 --> 00:08:13,440
the way home i did not look back

246
00:08:17,510 --> 00:08:15,440
upright canine dogman encounter in

247
00:08:19,589 --> 00:08:17,520
managua nicaragua barrios

248
00:08:21,430 --> 00:08:19,599
my mom used to take me to stay with my

249
00:08:22,309 --> 00:08:21,440
grandma who lived about three and a half

250
00:08:24,150 --> 00:08:22,319
miles away

251
00:08:25,990 --> 00:08:24,160
close to lake nicaragua which is

252
00:08:27,830 --> 00:08:26,000
infested with both sharks

253
00:08:29,110 --> 00:08:27,840
the area where grandma lived was under

254
00:08:31,189 --> 00:08:29,120
constant construction

255
00:08:32,630 --> 00:08:31,199
and the city was deforesting the area to

256
00:08:34,230 --> 00:08:32,640
make more houses

257
00:08:36,310 --> 00:08:34,240
light posts were spread throughout the

258
00:08:37,750 --> 00:08:36,320
area where no homes were yet built

259
00:08:39,589 --> 00:08:37,760
there were creeks that went under

260
00:08:40,149 --> 00:08:39,599
bridges and one could walk to other

261
00:08:41,829 --> 00:08:40,159
barriers

262
00:08:43,909 --> 00:08:41,839
or parts of the neighborhood that were

263
00:08:46,070 --> 00:08:43,919
closer to the lake in the mountains

264
00:08:48,070 --> 00:08:46,080
a lot of native people lived there they

265
00:08:50,710 --> 00:08:48,080
cooked rice and beans on the stove and

266
00:08:52,630 --> 00:08:50,720
by hand on a couple handmade tortillas

267
00:08:54,389 --> 00:08:52,640
my mother had a knack of sending me to

268
00:08:56,230 --> 00:08:54,399
those neighborhoods to buy beans and

269
00:08:57,190 --> 00:08:56,240
tortillas which is what i did that

270
00:08:59,110 --> 00:08:57,200
afternoon

271
00:09:00,949 --> 00:08:59,120
i had never believed in werewolves or

272
00:09:01,590 --> 00:09:00,959
witches or anything supernatural or

273
00:09:03,430 --> 00:09:01,600
unknown

274
00:09:05,509 --> 00:09:03,440
but this shocked me to understand the

275
00:09:07,430 --> 00:09:05,519
importance of keeping an open mind and

276
00:09:08,550 --> 00:09:07,440
to know and respect others who have seen

277
00:09:10,150 --> 00:09:08,560
the paranormal

278
00:09:11,829 --> 00:09:10,160
i was heading with two plastic

279
00:09:13,990 --> 00:09:11,839
containers to buy the beans and

280
00:09:14,710 --> 00:09:14,000
tortillas that afternoon by my grandma's

281
00:09:16,389 --> 00:09:14,720
house

282
00:09:18,630 --> 00:09:16,399
i had to go through an area where a

283
00:09:20,630 --> 00:09:18,640
creek went all the way to lake nicaragua

284
00:09:22,630 --> 00:09:20,640
and still had a lot of forested areas

285
00:09:24,790 --> 00:09:22,640
there and had encroaching buildings that

286
00:09:26,710 --> 00:09:24,800
were being built but not finished yet

287
00:09:28,550 --> 00:09:26,720
the road i walked on was in between the

288
00:09:30,470 --> 00:09:28,560
forest and creek alongside

289
00:09:32,310 --> 00:09:30,480
as one got closer to my grandma's

290
00:09:34,230 --> 00:09:32,320
neighborhood the unfinished buildings

291
00:09:35,670 --> 00:09:34,240
were apparent with few trees about

292
00:09:37,590 --> 00:09:35,680
and the creek became part of the

293
00:09:39,350 --> 00:09:37,600
waterway to get across

294
00:09:41,110 --> 00:09:39,360
you had to walk on a bridge to get to

295
00:09:43,030 --> 00:09:41,120
the road that lead to the outskirts of

296
00:09:44,230 --> 00:09:43,040
the city of managua which is where my

297
00:09:46,870 --> 00:09:44,240
grandma's house was

298
00:09:47,430 --> 00:09:46,880
in an area called america's number two

299
00:09:49,190 --> 00:09:47,440
anyway

300
00:09:51,509 --> 00:09:49,200
on the way to buy moms beans and

301
00:09:52,150 --> 00:09:51,519
tortillas i had no ill feelings on the

302
00:09:54,630 --> 00:09:52,160
road

303
00:09:55,430 --> 00:09:54,640
the sun was still up it was about 6 30

304
00:09:57,190 --> 00:09:55,440
pm

305
00:09:59,030 --> 00:09:57,200
since we are near the equator there is

306
00:10:01,110 --> 00:09:59,040
still sunlight at that time

307
00:10:03,590 --> 00:10:01,120
it took me approximately one hour to do

308
00:10:05,190 --> 00:10:03,600
this i had no worry since the people

309
00:10:07,350 --> 00:10:05,200
around the area knew me

310
00:10:09,030 --> 00:10:07,360
on the way back to grandma's as i got

311
00:10:11,030 --> 00:10:09,040
close to where the new buildings were

312
00:10:13,030 --> 00:10:11,040
being constructed it was already dark

313
00:10:16,389 --> 00:10:13,040
and there was a full moon that night

314
00:10:17,350 --> 00:10:16,399
it was around 7 45 pm since i always had

315
00:10:19,350 --> 00:10:17,360
a watch with me

316
00:10:21,670 --> 00:10:19,360
since i like watches a lot as a matter

317
00:10:23,750 --> 00:10:21,680
of fact i still wear a watch today

318
00:10:25,590 --> 00:10:23,760
anyway as i had finished crossing the

319
00:10:27,990 --> 00:10:25,600
bridge i came up to a building which had

320
00:10:30,310 --> 00:10:28,000
not been finished 10 had no roofer doors

321
00:10:31,670 --> 00:10:30,320
and it was about 150 yards from the

322
00:10:33,350 --> 00:10:31,680
creek and woodline

323
00:10:35,350 --> 00:10:33,360
the moon happened to light the building

324
00:10:37,430 --> 00:10:35,360
and leave places dark on the ground

325
00:10:38,550 --> 00:10:37,440
and light up the mid-level places around

326
00:10:40,230 --> 00:10:38,560
five feet and up

327
00:10:42,470 --> 00:10:40,240
as the moonlight hit the building at an

328
00:10:44,550 --> 00:10:42,480
angle as i walked in front of the door

329
00:10:44,949 --> 00:10:44,560
by the road suddenly i heard a growling

330
00:10:47,590 --> 00:10:44,959
sound

331
00:10:48,310 --> 00:10:47,600
like a dog growl i was never fond of

332
00:10:50,470 --> 00:10:48,320
dogs

333
00:10:52,630 --> 00:10:50,480
since they always seemed to chase me and

334
00:10:54,710 --> 00:10:52,640
had one bit me when i was six

335
00:10:56,150 --> 00:10:54,720
but now i'm grown up and actually like

336
00:10:58,630 --> 00:10:56,160
dogs and cats

337
00:11:01,190 --> 00:10:58,640
anyway as i heard this sound i don't

338
00:11:03,750 --> 00:11:01,200
know if it was curiosity or stupidity

339
00:11:05,990 --> 00:11:03,760
i decided to investigate by backtracking

340
00:11:06,870 --> 00:11:06,000
and seeing if in fact it was a wild dog

341
00:11:09,030 --> 00:11:06,880
with rabies

342
00:11:10,069 --> 00:11:09,040
since rabies at that time was rampant in

343
00:11:11,910 --> 00:11:10,079
our country

344
00:11:14,069 --> 00:11:11,920
this way i knew whether to expect an

345
00:11:16,230 --> 00:11:14,079
attack or just to get a rock in one of

346
00:11:16,870 --> 00:11:16,240
my hands in case it decided to mess with

347
00:11:20,710 --> 00:11:16,880
me

348
00:11:22,949 --> 00:11:20,720
to the door of the building

349
00:11:25,190 --> 00:11:22,959
only to be ten feet from a thing that i

350
00:11:27,350 --> 00:11:25,200
only saw in the movies like the howling

351
00:11:29,350 --> 00:11:27,360
i couldn't believe what i was seeing

352
00:11:31,030 --> 00:11:29,360
this thing slowly began to rise from a

353
00:11:31,990 --> 00:11:31,040
hunched position to where the moonlight

354
00:11:34,069 --> 00:11:32,000
hit its face

355
00:11:35,590 --> 00:11:34,079
and mind you this was a one-story

356
00:11:37,269 --> 00:11:35,600
building with no roof

357
00:11:39,509 --> 00:11:37,279
this building was at least eight and a

358
00:11:41,350 --> 00:11:39,519
half feet tall yet this thing's head was

359
00:11:43,990 --> 00:11:41,360
maybe five inches above it

360
00:11:45,750 --> 00:11:44,000
i was having trouble speaking i was in a

361
00:11:47,990 --> 00:11:45,760
state of awe and disbelief

362
00:11:50,230 --> 00:11:48,000
this thing had pointy black ears and a

363
00:11:52,629 --> 00:11:50,240
mid-size snout like a german shepherd

364
00:11:54,310 --> 00:11:52,639
and it had a yellow glow to its eyes it

365
00:11:56,550 --> 00:11:54,320
had hands like a raccoons

366
00:11:57,590 --> 00:11:56,560
but with a curve to them suddenly my

367
00:12:00,389 --> 00:11:57,600
reaction came

368
00:12:01,990 --> 00:12:00,399
and i spoke out loud and said no at this

369
00:12:03,910 --> 00:12:02,000
point this creature heard me

370
00:12:05,269 --> 00:12:03,920
and immediately turned its head to see

371
00:12:08,069 --> 00:12:05,279
me i realized

372
00:12:09,190 --> 00:12:08,079
at this point i had two choices stay and

373
00:12:11,030 --> 00:12:09,200
hope it didn't eat me

374
00:12:13,430 --> 00:12:11,040
or run the mile left in my grandma's

375
00:12:14,389 --> 00:12:13,440
house i can tell you the second option

376
00:12:16,150 --> 00:12:14,399
was better

377
00:12:17,990 --> 00:12:16,160
i immediately turned and ran in the

378
00:12:20,150 --> 00:12:18,000
direction of grandma's house

379
00:12:21,030 --> 00:12:20,160
i felt the thing behind me but i dared

380
00:12:23,190 --> 00:12:21,040
not look

381
00:12:25,430 --> 00:12:23,200
i ran and the funny thing is i didn't

382
00:12:26,230 --> 00:12:25,440
even drop my mom's containers that were

383
00:12:28,389 --> 00:12:26,240
with me

384
00:12:30,230 --> 00:12:28,399
i ran all the way to my grandma's house

385
00:12:31,910 --> 00:12:30,240
and i ran into the house

386
00:12:33,990 --> 00:12:31,920
the good thing was that in those days

387
00:12:36,790 --> 00:12:34,000
grandma always left the door open

388
00:12:37,590 --> 00:12:36,800
i ran inside and ran past my mom and my

389
00:12:39,430 --> 00:12:37,600
grandma

390
00:12:41,430 --> 00:12:39,440
i then rushed to the kitchen and put

391
00:12:42,470 --> 00:12:41,440
mom's containers on the counter i took

392
00:12:44,710 --> 00:12:42,480
the steak knives

393
00:12:46,710 --> 00:12:44,720
that grandma had and told my mom and

394
00:12:48,710 --> 00:12:46,720
grandmas after me and i'm ready

395
00:12:50,790 --> 00:12:48,720
at this point my mom and grandma tried

396
00:12:53,269 --> 00:12:50,800
to convince me that i was okay

397
00:12:55,350 --> 00:12:53,279
and to put the knives down i did not put

398
00:12:57,269 --> 00:12:55,360
the knives down until i was sure that

399
00:12:58,550 --> 00:12:57,279
the monster was not showing up to attack

400
00:13:00,710 --> 00:12:58,560
grandma's house

401
00:13:02,470 --> 00:13:00,720
i had nightmares and horrible dreams for

402
00:13:04,389 --> 00:13:02,480
about two years after that

403
00:13:06,310 --> 00:13:04,399
but this was not the last time i would

404
00:13:13,110 --> 00:13:06,320

405
00:13:16,550 --> 00:13:15,590
