black cryptid canine observed near

10
00:00:38,389 --> 00:00:36,079
chelmsford essex uk i grew up in the

11
00:00:40,150 --> 00:00:38,399
countryside near chelmsford in essex uk

12
00:00:42,470 --> 00:00:40,160
in 1993.

13
00:00:44,310 --> 00:00:42,480
we lived in a very rural area surrounded

14
00:00:46,389 --> 00:00:44,320
by thick woods and fields

15
00:00:47,510 --> 00:00:46,399
there was a small farm down a single

16
00:00:49,270 --> 00:00:47,520
track road

17
00:00:51,350 --> 00:00:49,280
my first encounter of this thing that i

18
00:00:54,150 --> 00:00:51,360
can only describe as a beast was in our

19
00:00:55,110 --> 00:00:54,160
garden at about 11 30 pm when i was 14

20
00:00:57,350 --> 00:00:55,120
years old

21
00:00:58,790 --> 00:00:57,360
my stepdad had just driven back from the

22
00:00:59,349 --> 00:00:58,800
parliament was in the kitchen making

23
00:01:01,910 --> 00:00:59,359
toast

24
00:01:03,910 --> 00:01:01,920
and i went down to get a drink of water

25
00:01:05,910 --> 00:01:03,920
the back garden floodlight was switched

26
00:01:06,870 --> 00:01:05,920
to off as it was very blinding when it

27
00:01:08,870 --> 00:01:06,880
came on

28
00:01:10,710 --> 00:01:08,880
my step-dad noticed something moving

29
00:01:11,590 --> 00:01:10,720
about in the garden from looking out of

30
00:01:13,750 --> 00:01:11,600
the window

31
00:01:15,350 --> 00:01:13,760
he questioned it so i took a look and as

32
00:01:16,950 --> 00:01:15,360
we tried to work out what it was he

33
00:01:19,590 --> 00:01:16,960
switched the floodlight on

34
00:01:21,429 --> 00:01:19,600
plain as day this thing was on all fours

35
00:01:24,230 --> 00:01:21,439
drinking water from the pond

36
00:01:25,670 --> 00:01:24,240
it was huge it was black and very wide

37
00:01:27,910 --> 00:01:25,680
and very muscular

38
00:01:29,590 --> 00:01:27,920
it turned and looked towards the house

39
00:01:30,789 --> 00:01:29,600
assuming it couldn't see us from the

40
00:01:33,270 --> 00:01:30,799
blinding light

41
00:01:35,590 --> 00:01:33,280
i've never seen anything like it its

42
00:01:36,069 --> 00:01:35,600
face was just like a dog but it looked

43
00:01:38,310 --> 00:01:36,079
fizz

44
00:01:40,310 --> 00:01:38,320
and its features were very strong

45
00:01:41,030 --> 00:01:40,320
covered in thick black hair from head to

46
00:01:43,270 --> 00:01:41,040
toe

47
00:01:45,670 --> 00:01:43,280
my stepdad and i just stood there in

48
00:01:48,149 --> 00:01:45,680
shock it moved away from the pond

49
00:01:49,830 --> 00:01:48,159
stood up on its back legs and left over

50
00:01:52,630 --> 00:01:49,840
the end garden hedge

51
00:01:53,670 --> 00:01:52,640
this hedge was about 10 feet tall then

52
00:01:55,990 --> 00:01:53,680
it was gone

53
00:01:57,270 --> 00:01:56,000
my stepdad turned off the light and told

54
00:01:59,190 --> 00:01:57,280
me to get to bed

55
00:02:01,670 --> 00:01:59,200
the next morning he told me that we were

56
00:02:03,590 --> 00:02:01,680
never to discuss what we saw again

57
00:02:05,670 --> 00:02:03,600
whenever i tried to mention it he just

58
00:02:07,749 --> 00:02:05,680
denied it as if it never happened

59
00:02:09,830 --> 00:02:07,759
another time i was walking my friend

60
00:02:10,550 --> 00:02:09,840
home across the fields past the farm

61
00:02:12,229 --> 00:02:10,560
barn

62
00:02:13,990 --> 00:02:12,239
there was a large broken hole in the

63
00:02:15,670 --> 00:02:14,000
side of the barn which we had to walk

64
00:02:18,630 --> 00:02:15,680
past to get down the track

65
00:02:20,390 --> 00:02:18,640
it was around lunchtime so daylight as

66
00:02:22,390 --> 00:02:20,400
we got closer to the barn we both

67
00:02:24,470 --> 00:02:22,400
noticed this animal edged inside of the

68
00:02:27,190 --> 00:02:24,480
barn looking out of the hole at us

69
00:02:29,190 --> 00:02:27,200
it moved and i knew i'd seen it before

70
00:02:30,309 --> 00:02:29,200
we both questioned it but decided to

71
00:02:32,229 --> 00:02:30,319
back off slowly

72
00:02:34,630 --> 00:02:32,239
and it moved further backwards into the

73
00:02:36,550 --> 00:02:34,640
barn we walked back to my house

74
00:02:39,030 --> 00:02:36,560
very quickly and never went down there

75
00:02:40,710 --> 00:02:39,040
again we had a few neighbors in the area

76
00:02:42,470 --> 00:02:40,720
who all said that they had heard weird

77
00:02:45,190 --> 00:02:42,480
howling noises at night

78
00:02:46,869 --> 00:02:45,200
but quickly were convinced it was foxes

79
00:02:49,509 --> 00:02:46,879
having lived in the countryside

80
00:02:51,350 --> 00:02:49,519
i know what foxes sound like these

81
00:02:53,190 --> 00:02:51,360
houndings were not of a fox

82
00:02:55,270 --> 00:02:53,200
there was one report sent to the police

83
00:02:57,350 --> 00:02:55,280
about an unusual animal in the area

84
00:02:59,270 --> 00:02:57,360
after something huge ran out in front of

85
00:03:01,350 --> 00:02:59,280
the dog walker into the woods

86
00:03:02,470 --> 00:03:01,360
the dogs refused to walk near where the

87
00:03:04,470 --> 00:03:02,480
animal was and sat

88
00:03:05,990 --> 00:03:04,480
whimpering then it shot out across the

89
00:03:08,229 --> 00:03:06,000
field into the woods

90
00:03:10,470 --> 00:03:08,239
the police got a casting of some prince

91
00:03:11,910 --> 00:03:10,480
but then it all went hush and never to

92
00:03:14,390 --> 00:03:11,920
be mentioned again

93
00:03:16,550 --> 00:03:14,400
so this is my personal experience and i

94
00:03:17,589 --> 00:03:16,560
am thankful that i no longer live in

95
00:03:19,650 --> 00:03:17,599
essex

96
00:03:24,949 --> 00:03:19,660
name with help

97
00:03:28,630 --> 00:03:26,789
huge upright canine encountered in

98
00:03:31,110 --> 00:03:28,640
jefferson township ohio

99
00:03:33,509 --> 00:03:31,120
one night in 2005 we had crossed onto

100
00:03:36,390 --> 00:03:33,519
stacy road in jefferson township ohio

101
00:03:38,390 --> 00:03:36,400
going between 30 and 35 miles per hour

102
00:03:38,869 --> 00:03:38,400
just after the first bend near a juniper

103
00:03:40,869 --> 00:03:38,879
tree

104
00:03:42,390 --> 00:03:40,879
i saw something in my headlights

105
00:03:43,670 --> 00:03:42,400
squatting her sitting in the ditch was

106
00:03:45,910 --> 00:03:43,680
something bigger than a man

107
00:03:48,070 --> 00:03:45,920
and covered with fur from head to toe it

108
00:03:50,550 --> 00:03:48,080
had a definite dog shaped head and large

109
00:03:52,309 --> 00:03:50,560
ears i watched in disbelief as we passed

110
00:03:54,070 --> 00:03:52,319
this thing with my other three friends

111
00:03:55,030 --> 00:03:54,080
in the van also looking on and awe and

112
00:03:56,630 --> 00:03:55,040
hysteria

113
00:03:58,630 --> 00:03:56,640
as it looked through the passenger side

114
00:04:00,869 --> 00:03:58,640
window of the van at us its eyes had a

115
00:04:02,789 --> 00:04:00,879
yellowish color reflecting the moonlight

116
00:04:03,990 --> 00:04:02,799
its eyes and face were about level with

117
00:04:05,509 --> 00:04:04,000
the middle of the window

118
00:04:07,429 --> 00:04:05,519
the head looked bigger than a human's

119
00:04:09,190 --> 00:04:07,439
head and was definitely canine

120
00:04:11,350 --> 00:04:09,200
the ear is even more apparent in looking

121
00:04:13,110 --> 00:04:11,360
at it dead on it was close enough

122
00:04:14,789 --> 00:04:13,120
that if that window would have been open

123
00:04:16,390 --> 00:04:14,799
my friend in the passenger seat could

124
00:04:17,909 --> 00:04:16,400
have reached out and touched it

125
00:04:19,909 --> 00:04:17,919
as we passed it and the rear of the

126
00:04:21,590 --> 00:04:19,919
vehicle cleared the creature's position

127
00:04:23,909 --> 00:04:21,600
i saw it get up and cross the road

128
00:04:25,749 --> 00:04:23,919
behind the van its form blotted out the

129
00:04:26,390 --> 00:04:25,759
moonlight briefly as it stepped onto the

130
00:04:28,469 --> 00:04:26,400
road

131
00:04:30,150 --> 00:04:28,479
watching it in my side mirror its third

132
00:04:31,510 --> 00:04:30,160
step carried it into the field on the

133
00:04:33,749 --> 00:04:31,520
other side of the road

134
00:04:34,629 --> 00:04:33,759
by that time my heart was pounding half

135
00:04:36,469 --> 00:04:34,639
out of excitement

136
00:04:38,629 --> 00:04:36,479
and half out of fear from the pure size

137
00:04:39,510 --> 00:04:38,639
of the thing i got a very good look at

138
00:04:41,670 --> 00:04:39,520
it as it crossed

139
00:04:42,790 --> 00:04:41,680
and it was definitely walking by pedally

140
00:04:44,230 --> 00:04:42,800
and digiti grade

141
00:04:46,230 --> 00:04:44,240
and stood well over the height of the

142
00:04:46,950 --> 00:04:46,240
van in the neighborhood of around seven

143
00:04:49,189 --> 00:04:46,960
foot six

144
00:04:50,870 --> 00:04:49,199
if i had to guess it would probably have

145
00:04:51,350 --> 00:04:50,880
weighed in the neighborhood of 400

146
00:04:53,430 --> 00:04:51,360
pounds

147
00:04:55,030 --> 00:04:53,440
based on the size of deer i have skinned

148
00:04:56,870 --> 00:04:55,040
and dressed out in the past

149
00:04:58,790 --> 00:04:56,880
i couldn't tell if a tail was present or

150
00:05:00,550 --> 00:04:58,800
not and couldn't make out a lot of real

151
00:05:02,230 --> 00:05:00,560
detail of the hands or four paws

152
00:05:04,070 --> 00:05:02,240
but i saw what i thought to be at least

153
00:05:05,270 --> 00:05:04,080
two or three fingers on one of the four

154
00:05:07,110 --> 00:05:05,280
limbs of the creature

155
00:05:08,550 --> 00:05:07,120
the other thing that struck me was how

156
00:05:10,150 --> 00:05:08,560
wide its shoulders were

157
00:05:11,909 --> 00:05:10,160
my shoulders are pretty wide from a

158
00:05:13,749 --> 00:05:11,919
human perspective but this thing's

159
00:05:15,590 --> 00:05:13,759
shoulders were absolutely massive

160
00:05:22,830 --> 00:05:15,600
at least three or four inches wider than

161
00:05:27,590 --> 00:05:25,590
robert

162
00:05:29,909 --> 00:05:27,600
report of frightening cryptid canine

163
00:05:31,670 --> 00:05:29,919
encounter near decatur illinois

164
00:05:33,350 --> 00:05:31,680
the witness pulled out of her driveway

165
00:05:34,469 --> 00:05:33,360
onto needle road in hickory point

166
00:05:36,550 --> 00:05:34,479
township illinois

167
00:05:39,029 --> 00:05:36,560
already looking across to the west field

168
00:05:41,670 --> 00:05:39,039
for ran the condition of the corn

169
00:05:43,510 --> 00:05:41,680
then salshi went for about 300 yards and

170
00:05:45,670 --> 00:05:43,520
a left turn onto ash avenue for

171
00:05:47,670 --> 00:05:45,680
approximately one half mile turning

172
00:05:49,830 --> 00:05:47,680
south onto northwest lawn

173
00:05:51,029 --> 00:05:49,840
traveling south now she was going

174
00:05:54,629 --> 00:05:51,039
extremely slow

175
00:05:56,710 --> 00:05:54,639
no more than 25 miles an hour tall corn

176
00:05:58,870 --> 00:05:56,720
border both sides of the road

177
00:06:00,629 --> 00:05:58,880
as she drove she watched for deer and

178
00:06:01,990 --> 00:06:00,639
thought that in another month the corn

179
00:06:04,230 --> 00:06:02,000
will be harvested

180
00:06:05,510 --> 00:06:04,240
the creature had appeared some 60 yards

181
00:06:07,430 --> 00:06:05,520
in front of me

182
00:06:09,749 --> 00:06:07,440
it emerged from the cornfield to the

183
00:06:12,309 --> 00:06:09,759
left east of me on all fours

184
00:06:13,670 --> 00:06:12,319
i tapped the brakes from the offset i

185
00:06:16,710 --> 00:06:13,680
knew it was not a deer

186
00:06:18,309 --> 00:06:16,720
dog or coyote i had started coasting

187
00:06:20,629 --> 00:06:18,319
not knowing which way the thing was

188
00:06:22,870 --> 00:06:20,639
going to go as i coasted

189
00:06:25,189 --> 00:06:22,880
getting closer by the second i could see

190
00:06:27,749 --> 00:06:25,199
it had stopped and started looking north

191
00:06:29,110 --> 00:06:27,759
then south then north again it started

192
00:06:31,430 --> 00:06:29,120
taking small steps

193
00:06:33,510 --> 00:06:31,440
like in a slow motion movement as if it

194
00:06:35,350 --> 00:06:33,520
were contemplating whether to continue

195
00:06:37,909 --> 00:06:35,360
or retreat to the field

196
00:06:38,790 --> 00:06:37,919
however it did not seem alarmed or in a

197
00:06:40,870 --> 00:06:38,800
hurry

198
00:06:42,950 --> 00:06:40,880
two small steps were taken then it

199
00:06:43,909 --> 00:06:42,960
sniffed the ground or was listening or

200
00:06:45,990 --> 00:06:43,919
something

201
00:06:47,270 --> 00:06:46,000
she continued it kept sniffing all the

202
00:06:49,589 --> 00:06:47,280
way to the road's edge

203
00:06:51,430 --> 00:06:49,599
some 10 feet turning its head

204
00:06:54,710 --> 00:06:51,440
continuously north to south

205
00:06:55,589 --> 00:06:54,720
north to south now i was 30 to 40 feet

206
00:06:58,550 --> 00:06:55,599
from it

207
00:07:00,230 --> 00:06:58,560
i kept tapping my brakes at this point

208
00:07:01,350 --> 00:07:00,240
it was at the gravel road edge and

209
00:07:03,350 --> 00:07:01,360
stopped sniffing

210
00:07:04,629 --> 00:07:03,360
then the head turned again as if looking

211
00:07:06,550 --> 00:07:04,639
for traffic

212
00:07:09,589 --> 00:07:06,560
it lifted its head and stepped upon the

213
00:07:11,830 --> 00:07:09,599
road my vehicle is now at a crawl

214
00:07:13,830 --> 00:07:11,840
at approximately halfway across the road

215
00:07:16,390 --> 00:07:13,840
it slowly began to rise

216
00:07:18,230 --> 00:07:16,400
i've never seen anything like this by

217
00:07:20,469 --> 00:07:18,240
the time it got to the other side

218
00:07:21,350 --> 00:07:20,479
it was standing erect on two legs

219
00:07:23,670 --> 00:07:21,360
walking

220
00:07:25,749 --> 00:07:23,680
it moved a snail's pace again turning

221
00:07:28,469 --> 00:07:25,759
its head from side to side

222
00:07:29,909 --> 00:07:28,479
i'm now less than 20 feet away

223
00:07:32,070 --> 00:07:29,919
approaching the west side of the

224
00:07:33,430 --> 00:07:32,080
cornfield its left appendage reached out

225
00:07:36,150 --> 00:07:33,440
and pulled back the corn

226
00:07:36,790 --> 00:07:36,160
as if opening a curtain as it went into

227
00:07:39,189 --> 00:07:36,800
the corn

228
00:07:41,670 --> 00:07:39,199
i was all but even with it then it

229
00:07:44,469 --> 00:07:41,680
immediately disappeared into the field

230
00:07:45,189 --> 00:07:44,479
the vehicle was at a dead stop i even

231
00:07:47,909 --> 00:07:45,199
backed up

232
00:07:49,189 --> 00:07:47,919
then pulled forward but could not see it

233
00:07:51,589 --> 00:07:49,199
her description was

234
00:07:53,430 --> 00:07:51,599
straggly long hair hanging two inches

235
00:07:55,350 --> 00:07:53,440
off its upper arms

236
00:07:57,589 --> 00:07:55,360
back hair was thick looking as if it was

237
00:07:59,909 --> 00:07:57,599
in need of a really good brushing

238
00:08:00,950 --> 00:07:59,919
its tail was about a foot long straight

239
00:08:02,869 --> 00:08:00,960
and bushy

240
00:08:04,710 --> 00:08:02,879
ears were located on the side of its

241
00:08:07,189 --> 00:08:04,720
head and the size of a human

242
00:08:07,830 --> 00:08:07,199
teardrop shaped with hair hanging off of

243
00:08:10,150 --> 00:08:07,840
them

244
00:08:11,189 --> 00:08:10,160
the corn was seven foot tall and this

245
00:08:14,070 --> 00:08:11,199
critter was at least

246
00:08:15,189 --> 00:08:14,080
six foot tall it was so thin like

247
00:08:16,869 --> 00:08:15,199
undernourished

248
00:08:18,629 --> 00:08:16,879
the hair color was reddish brown

249
00:08:21,510 --> 00:08:18,639
possibly due to the sunshine

250
00:08:23,110 --> 00:08:21,520
it was bright that day my only memory of

251
00:08:25,670 --> 00:08:23,120
the eyes is dark

252
00:08:27,270 --> 00:08:25,680
the muzzle was like a wolf it never

253
00:08:29,670 --> 00:08:27,280
opened its mouth

254
00:08:31,270 --> 00:08:29,680
long hair was also hanging off its paws

255
00:08:33,829 --> 00:08:31,280
or whatever they were

256
00:08:36,230 --> 00:08:33,839
i didn't get a look at the feet it never

257
00:08:37,190 --> 00:08:36,240
made a sound and i didn't smell anything

258
00:08:39,269 --> 00:08:37,200
strange

259
00:08:41,670 --> 00:08:39,279
it never really looked at me more like

260
00:08:50,790 --> 00:08:41,680
it was looking through mere past me

261
00:08:55,269 --> 00:08:52,949
a prey cryptid canine patch ace vehicle

262
00:08:56,949 --> 00:08:55,279
near hughes national park zimbabwe

263
00:08:59,190 --> 00:08:56,959
the encounter i'm going tell happened

264
00:09:01,269 --> 00:08:59,200
near hughes national park in zimbabwe

265
00:09:03,269 --> 00:09:01,279
last year while a father and son were on

266
00:09:05,350 --> 00:09:03,279
their way to bulawayo late at night

267
00:09:07,110 --> 00:09:05,360
the sun was driving as he had recently

268
00:09:08,949 --> 00:09:07,120
got his driving license

269
00:09:10,630 --> 00:09:08,959
they were coming from a housing project

270
00:09:12,389 --> 00:09:10,640
the father had won the contract where

271
00:09:14,070 --> 00:09:12,399
they were surveying the land

272
00:09:16,710 --> 00:09:14,080
naturally they were excited for the

273
00:09:18,389 --> 00:09:16,720
project so the mood was extremely good

274
00:09:20,550 --> 00:09:18,399
as they were traveling along there was a

275
00:09:23,350 --> 00:09:20,560
loud pop and the car suddenly swerved to

276
00:09:25,110 --> 00:09:23,360
the side of the road it was a blown tire

277
00:09:26,949 --> 00:09:25,120
luckily no one was hurt and the car

278
00:09:28,630 --> 00:09:26,959
wasn't too badly damaged

279
00:09:30,550 --> 00:09:28,640
where they had stopped was the middle of

280
00:09:31,350 --> 00:09:30,560
nowhere and seemed to be unnaturally

281
00:09:33,030 --> 00:09:31,360
silent

282
00:09:34,949 --> 00:09:33,040
they said about to change the tire

283
00:09:37,110 --> 00:09:34,959
feeling nervous for some reason

284
00:09:39,110 --> 00:09:37,120
that good feeling had gone away they had

285
00:09:40,230 --> 00:09:39,120
left the headlights of the car on so as

286
00:09:41,670 --> 00:09:40,240
to have some light

287
00:09:43,430 --> 00:09:41,680
with the light that was there they could

288
00:09:45,190 --> 00:09:43,440
see shadows moving around them

289
00:09:47,509 --> 00:09:45,200
and the car they started hearing heavy

290
00:09:48,630 --> 00:09:47,519
deep growling the father kept his cool

291
00:09:50,470 --> 00:09:48,640
for his son's sake

292
00:09:52,389 --> 00:09:50,480
as he started freaking out just keep

293
00:09:54,550 --> 00:09:52,399
working on changing that tire said the

294
00:09:56,389 --> 00:09:54,560
father and he frantically finished

295
00:09:58,389 --> 00:09:56,399
they got in the car they saw four pairs

296
00:09:59,509 --> 00:09:58,399
of golden shield eyes just by the edge

297
00:10:01,350 --> 00:09:59,519
of the darkness

298
00:10:03,430 --> 00:10:01,360
the sun floored the accelerator and they

299
00:10:05,030 --> 00:10:03,440
sped off but to their horror those eyes

300
00:10:05,750 --> 00:10:05,040
started following them matching their

301
00:10:07,670 --> 00:10:05,760
speed

302
00:10:09,269 --> 00:10:07,680
one of the creatures ran past the car

303
00:10:10,470 --> 00:10:09,279
only to reveal something they never

304
00:10:12,470 --> 00:10:10,480
thought possible

305
00:10:14,389 --> 00:10:12,480
it was running on all four legs moving

306
00:10:15,670 --> 00:10:14,399
on like anything they've ever seen

307
00:10:18,470 --> 00:10:15,680
they looked at them and they saw the

308
00:10:20,389 --> 00:10:18,480
head of a wild dog but with large fangs

309
00:10:22,470 --> 00:10:20,399
it was built like a lean fit basketball

310
00:10:24,150 --> 00:10:22,480
player with well-defined muscles

311
00:10:25,829 --> 00:10:24,160
they realized in that instant that they

312
00:10:27,430 --> 00:10:25,839
are being hunted he pressed the

313
00:10:29,269 --> 00:10:27,440
accelerator to the end praying and

314
00:10:30,150 --> 00:10:29,279
hoping that the car was fast enough to

315
00:10:31,670 --> 00:10:30,160
lose them

316
00:10:33,590 --> 00:10:31,680
as the car passed the creature it

317
00:10:34,470 --> 00:10:33,600
suddenly and fluidly stood up to reveal

318
00:10:37,190 --> 00:10:34,480
that it was seven

319
00:10:39,030 --> 00:10:37,200
foot tall and had hands like claws it

320
00:10:40,790 --> 00:10:39,040
reached out for the car before the car

321
00:10:42,389 --> 00:10:40,800
accelerated away from them

322
00:10:44,630 --> 00:10:42,399
as soon as they knew they were somewhat

323
00:10:52,270 --> 00:10:44,640
safe the father broke down and cried

324
00:10:55,829 --> 00:10:53,990
[Music]

325
00:10:58,230 --> 00:10:55,839
bizarre canine my creature recently

326
00:11:00,790 --> 00:10:58,240
encountered in durham north carolina

327
00:11:02,550 --> 00:11:00,800
i am riding from durham north carolina

328
00:11:04,389 --> 00:11:02,560
i'm not going to assume that what i saw

329
00:11:06,069 --> 00:11:04,399
was an actual cryptid but i've spent

330
00:11:06,949 --> 00:11:06,079
nearly four hours trying to figure out

331
00:11:08,550 --> 00:11:06,959
what it could be

332
00:11:10,630 --> 00:11:08,560
and i've come up with nothing except

333
00:11:11,910 --> 00:11:10,640
moose and this is way too far south to

334
00:11:14,150 --> 00:11:11,920
have been a moose

335
00:11:15,910 --> 00:11:14,160
it was probably 100 feet ahead of me

336
00:11:17,350 --> 00:11:15,920
loping out of the woods like a dog would

337
00:11:19,430 --> 00:11:17,360
lope through deep snow

338
00:11:21,350 --> 00:11:19,440
it was almost black in color except for

339
00:11:23,750 --> 00:11:21,360
enormous reflective eyes that were the

340
00:11:25,750 --> 00:11:23,760
size of dinner plates glowing back at me

341
00:11:27,190 --> 00:11:25,760
it had thin legs like a deer but was

342
00:11:29,430 --> 00:11:27,200
easily twice my size

343
00:11:30,949 --> 00:11:29,440
covered in long matted fur it had the

344
00:11:33,269 --> 00:11:30,959
face of the dog and the tail that

345
00:11:34,949 --> 00:11:33,279
extended probably two feet behind it

346
00:11:36,710 --> 00:11:34,959
it almost looked like it was grimacing

347
00:11:37,829 --> 00:11:36,720
as it moved like i caught it and when it

348
00:11:39,509 --> 00:11:37,839
was vulnerable

349
00:11:41,350 --> 00:11:39,519
it didn't slow down though loping the

350
00:11:43,190 --> 00:11:41,360
full width of the street and maybe five

351
00:11:43,910 --> 00:11:43,200
hops before disappearing among more

352
00:11:45,910 --> 00:11:43,920
trees

353
00:11:46,949 --> 00:11:45,920
i texted my neighbor and he joked that

354
00:11:48,790 --> 00:11:46,959
it's a dog elope

355
00:11:50,710 --> 00:11:48,800
but honestly i just want to know if

356
00:11:51,670 --> 00:11:50,720
anyone else has ever seen anything else

357
00:11:53,350 --> 00:11:51,680
like this

358
00:11:54,870 --> 00:11:53,360
it was definitely not a moose and i

359
00:11:57,110 --> 00:11:54,880
don't think it was an elk

360
00:11:59,350 --> 00:11:57,120
it wasn't a cow or beefalo for those

361
00:12:00,870 --> 00:11:59,360
wondering it had no antlers the head was

362
00:12:02,389 --> 00:12:00,880
distinctly canine

363
00:12:08,829 --> 00:12:02,399
it was in the backwoods near durham

364
00:12:13,509 --> 00:12:10,790
