Encounters/Sightings

Athens County, OH Encounter 

My girlfriend and I were driving down a remote, country road, in the early summertime, late one evening. She was the one driving. I was in the passenger seat. The sun was setting behind us. We had just come around a curve, when 2 does jumped out onto the road in front of us. They acted like we weren't even there. They seemed to be focused on something else. So she jammed on the brakes and brought the car to a stop. I told her, "Man! That was close!" That's when I looked up into the rearview mirror, to see if any more deer were coming. When I did that, in the red glow of the car's taillights, I saw some THING take a big step into the road, from the brush that was on the side of the road. Whatever it was, landed on its right leg, when it did that. Looking at it in the rearview mirror, I could see it from its mid-thigh, up to its stomach. In one motion, it then took another step forward and put what looked to be a hand down, on the trunk of the car, to apparently balance itself.

 

When I saw that, I turned to look at my girlfriend. She was wide-eyed, her mouth was wide open, and she was white as a ghost! I could also see that her eyes were tearing up. So, I looked back, but by that time, it had already gone across the road.

 

In an attempt to get a better look at this thing, I opened my door and got out of the car. When I looked, I could see that it was going down the embankment that was on the side of the road. Because of the brush, I could only see it from the armpits up. It was at least 7 feet tall and had very wide shoulders. Its shoulders were at least 1 1/2 times as wide as my shoulders, and I've got wide shoulders for a guy. From the last bit of daylight left, I could see that it was black or dark brown in color and had pointed ears on top of its head, like a dog. Its ears weren't overly wide, or fuzzy. Its head was kind of dome-shaped, more or less, with flat sides. It acted like we weren't even there and seemed to remain focused on the deer. I was thinking, "What in the world is this thing?" It looked like some kind of Werewolf or Wolfman to me.

 

It was WAY too big to be a person. Through that whole ordeal, I never did get a chance to see its face.

 

In the area where we saw that thing, people have reported being paced in their vehicles, going down the road, by creatures that look like what we saw.
