cry 32 00:01:21,190 --> 00:01:19,200 from off in the distance 33 00:01:22,789 --> 00:01:21,200 they set up their tent and lights etc 34 00:01:24,310 --> 00:01:22,799 and got into their tents 35 00:01:25,990 --> 00:01:24,320 one had to get up in the midst of the 36 00:01:27,670 --> 00:01:26,000 night to relieve themselves 37 00:01:30,149 --> 00:01:27,680 but when she went outside she got the 38 00:01:31,830 --> 00:01:30,159 overpowering sensation of being watched 39 00:01:33,510 --> 00:01:31,840 she returned inside and roused her 40 00:01:34,870 --> 00:01:33,520 boyfriend to come out with her 41 00:01:36,950 --> 00:01:34,880 when they got out he too felt the 42 00:01:38,950 --> 00:01:36,960 sensation but at the time said he didn't 43 00:01:40,870 --> 00:01:38,960 mention it in order to

00:01:46,950 --> 00:01:44,720 he could see it through the brush to the 48 00:01:49,109 --> 00:01:46,960 right of the tree where she was a large 49 00:01:51,030 --> 00:01:49,119 approximately six foot

running 56 00:02:01,670 --> 00:02:00,399 in a moment later 57 00:02:03,590 --> 00:02:01,680 after hearing the wrestling of the 58 00:02:05,030 --> 00:02:03,600 creature throughout the night they 59 00:02:07,190 --> 00:02:05,040 and the others who awoke during the 60 00:02:08,469 --> 00:02:07,200 commotion stayed awake continuously 61 00:02:09,430 --> 00:02:08,479 thinking they heard the cry in the 62 00:02:11,430 --> 00:02:09,440 distance 63 00:02:12,790 --> 00:02:11,440 they never encountered it again but left 64 00:02:19,670 --> 00:02:12,800 probably in the morning 65 00:02:23,350 -->

were 86 00:03:01,830 --> 00:03:01,120 a bright yellow glow and it ran off over 87 00:03:03,670 --> 00:03:01,840 hill 88 00:03:05,990 --> 00:03:03,680 honestly but it scared the crap out of 89

00:05:48,550 --> 00:05:46,560 they're on but instead of running on all 176 00:05:50,310 --> 00:05:48,560 fours like a normal animal they all jump 177 00:05:51,350 --> 00:05:50,320 up to their hind

closer until we get to the 184 00:06:03,909 --> 00:06:02,000 house and lock the doors 185 00:06:05,029 --> 00:06:03,919 i decide to set cams in the woods and 186 00:06:07,110 --> 00:06:05,039 around

00:06:46,560 of its head and neck 211 00:06:50,790 --> 00:06:48,080 after doing this it backs away and 212 00:06:52,710 --> 00:06:50,800 leaves now every night something happens 213 00:06:54,230 --> 00:06:52,720 like tonight as i'm riding this it 214 00:06:54,790 --> 00:06:54,240 rushed onto the porch and clawed the 215 00:06:56,550 --> 00:06:54,800 door 216 00:06:58,309 --> 00:06:56,560 as it's doing this it is bellowing out a 217 00:07:00,150 --> 00:06:58,319 laugh that almost sounds like a deranged 218 00:07:02,390 --> 00:07:00,160 madman crossed with a hyena 219 00:07:03,670 --> 00:07:02,400 at this point i'm not sure what to think 220 00:07:10,550 --> 00:07:03,680 are we being hunted 221 00:07:14,950 --> 00:07:12,629 black bipedal cryptid wolf dogman 222 00:07:17,749 --> 00:07:14,960 observed at west grand lake maine 223 00:07:19,990 --> 00:07:17,759 this occurred in september 2016 while 224 00:07:21,990 --> 00:07:20,000 visiting at west grand lake maine 225 00:07:24,150 --> 00:07:22,000 i had been playing with the dogs outside 226 00:07:24,629 --> 00:07:24,160 around dusk the sun was below the tree 227 00:07:26,309 --> 00:07:24,639 line 228 00:07:29,110 --> 00:07:26,319 but there was still plenty of light to 229 00:07:30,629 --> 00:07:29,120 see by and went in to use the bathroom 230 00:07:32,790 --> 00:07:30,639 my husband had been fiddling with a 231 00:07:34,309 --> 00:07:32,800 guitar but wandered into the bathroom 232 00:07:36,950 --> 00:07:34,319 looking like he wanted to say 233 00:07:38,309 --> 00:07:36,960 something he was pale and sweaty kind of 234 00:07:40,870 --> 00:07:38,319 staring into space 235 00:07:42,870 --> 00:07:40,880 so i was naturally concerned he wouldn't 236 00:07:44,550 --> 00:07:42,880 tell me what was wrong at first but i 237 00:07:47,189 --> 00:07:44,560 finally got out of him that he had seen 238 00:07:49,189 --> 00:07:47,199 a huge black wolf walk by the window 239 00:07:50,710 --> 00:07:49,199 i told him it must have been a bear 240 00:07:51,830 --> 00:07:50,720 knowing that there aren't supposed to be 241 00:07:53,670 --> 00:07:51,840 wolves around here 242 00:07:56,469 --> 00:07:53,680 and that the window was too high for any 243 00:07:58,710 --> 00:07:56,479 canine on four legs to walk in front of 244 00:08:00,309 --> 00:07:58,720 he said no but whatever it was i didn't 245 00:08:02,790 --> 00:08:00,319 want the dogs messing with it 246 00:08:04,230 --> 00:08:02,800 so i ran back outside they were still 247 00:08:06,390 --> 00:08:04,240 wrestling in the side yard 248 00:08:08,869 --> 00:08:06,400 oblivious so it was easy to get them 249 00:08:11,189 --> 00:08:08,879 back in and then i had a look around 250 00:08:12,950 --> 00:08:11,199 i didn't see any animal or sign but 251 00:08:14,070 --> 00:08:12,960 noted that the window was even higher 252 00:08:16,469 --> 00:08:14,080 than i thought 253 00:08:19,110 --> 00:08:16,479 when i went back in my husband described 254 00:08:20,629 --> 00:08:19,120 what he had seen as a black bipedal wolf 255 00:08:22,550 --> 00:08:20,639 he said the snout and ears were 256 00:08:24,469 --> 00:08:22,560 wolf-like but that it had yellow eyes 257 00:08:26,390 --> 00:08:24,479 that reminded him more of a cat 258 00:08:27,990 --> 00:08:26,400 i measured the window and the bottom of 259 00:08:30,230 --> 00:08:28,000 it is six feet off the ground 260 00:08:31,909 --> 00:08:30,240 so for anything's head and torso to pass 261 00:08:33,829 --> 00:08:31,919 by it from where he was standing the 262 00:08:34,870 --> 00:08:33,839 animal would have to be more like seven 263 00:08:36,709 --> 00:08:34,880 feet tall 264 00:08:38,630 --> 00:08:36,719 one of our dogs is tall enough if he 265 00:08:40,149 --> 00:08:38,640 stood up on his hind legs but we've 266 00:08:42,870 --> 00:08:40,159 never seen him do that on his 267 00:08:44,149 --> 00:08:42,880 own and he's blue gray with floppy ears 268 00:08:46,710 --> 00:08:44,159 and brown eyes 269 00:08:48,389 --> 00:08:46,720 there aren't any huge black circus dogs 270 00:08:50,470 --> 00:08:48,399 on my road that i know of 271 00:08:52,870 --> 00:08:50,480 my husband is very skeptical of anything 272 00:08:55,030 --> 00:08:52,880 not accepted by the scientific community 273 00:08:56,230 --> 00:08:55,040 but still insists that it wasn't a black 274 00:08:57,509 --> 00:08:56,240 bear he saw 275 00:08:59,269 --> 00:08:57,519 he concluded that he must have 276 00:09:01,509 --> 00:08:59,279 hallucinated the whole thing 277 00:09:04,310 --> 00:09:01,519 two weeks later around the same time of 278 00:09:06,389 --> 00:09:04,320 day my husband saw the same animal 279 00:09:08,070 --> 00:09:06,399 this time he was close to the window and 280 00:09:09,990 --> 00:09:08,080 the animal was further away 281 00:09:12,230 --> 00:09:10,000 running out through a small stand of red 282 00:09:12,710 --> 00:09:12,240 pine he still doesn't believe it was 283 00:09:15,350 --> 00:09:12,720 real 284 00:09:15,829 --> 00:09:15,360 even after seeing it a second time and 285 00:09:18,150 --> 00:09:15,839 then 286 00:09:19,590 --> 00:09:18,160 not sure if this is related about a week 287 00:09:21,750 --> 00:09:19,600 after that i was gardening and my 288 00:09:23,910 --> 00:09:21,760 husband comes out back calling for me 289 00:09:25,509 --> 00:09:23,920 really shook up again he said he was 290 00:09:27,750 --> 00:09:25,519 sitting in his computer chair and 291 00:09:29,590 --> 00:09:27,760 thought i was standing over his shoulder 292 00:09:31,590 --> 00:09:29,600 he said when he looked up it was a black 293 00:09:33,750 --> 00:09:31,600 form like a shadow person 294 00:09:35,110 --> 00:09:33,760 he jumped and it was gone but it scared 295 00:09:37,269 --> 00:09:35,120 the crap out of him 296 00:09:38,949 --> 00:09:37,279 he wanted me to come inside and keep an 297 00:09:40,389 --> 00:09:38,959 eye on him because he was afraid it 298 00:09:41,269 --> 00:09:40,399 meant he was having a stroke or 299 00:09:46,870 --> 00:09:41,279 something 300 00:09:50,310 --> 00:09:49,430 this is lon strickler if you like this 301 00:09:52,070 -->
