News & Notes: Possible Bigfoot 'Escorts' Hiker in Seneca Creek / Spruce Knob, West Virginia
A hiker recalls her recent experience in the Seneca Creek/Spruce Knob, WV backcountry. She also details her brief experience with a Bigfoot near Davis, WV.
I just found this recent incident report:
"October 10-11, 2020: I was on a backpacking excursion with one other person; we were in the Seneca Creek/Spruce Knob backcountry in WV. What was supposed to be a three day/two night, 16-mile outing turned into a day and a half, 20-mile mistake, thanks to terrible weather (and, admittedly, some poor decision-making on our part). That Sunday we ended up hiking 18 miles to get back to the trail head; the last five miles was in torrential rain in the dark (on the Huckleberry Trail, for those who are familiar).
About three miles before we reached the trail head, I started to hear loud branches cracking to my left (I was leading, if that matters). It was easy to blame it on the weather but the further we walked the louder and closer it seemed to get. It was almost as though I could hear heavy footsteps, but again, the wind and rain were torrential so who knows. I kept quickly turning towards the trees with my headlamp illuminating the thick spruce trees, hoping I’d see something, but I never caught sight of anything.
About half a mile from the trail head I suddenly realized that I no longer had the feeling of being watched and the noises I had been hearing had ceased; if anything the weather had gotten worse so at that point I was feeling even more like it wasn’t weather-related. If I had to guess, the feeling of being “followed” went on for a little over two miles.
For context, I am an avid hiker in the VA/WV/MD/PA area, and have been for years; 99.9% of the time I hike alone. This was the first time in years of hiking that I ever felt like I was being “watched” or “followed” while hiking. (I am a female, if that matters.)
The next day, after I was home and had time to process how terrible the whole trip had been, it hit me that what I felt was that we were being “escorted” out of the woods. Given the terrible weather, we hadn’t passed anyone for miles; not another soul seemed to be out there and all the campsites we passed were vacant. I never felt like we were in danger per se, but my feeling was that something wanted to make sure we left the backcountry.
Again, to clarify, I never actually saw or smelled anything, it was all noises and feelings and I never felt like we were in any kind of danger. I just felt uneasy.
I did not mention this to my hiking partner mostly because I had made an offhand joke about Bigfoot hours earlier and she became very serious in denigrating those who think Bigfoot is real. I knew there wouldn’t be any support there. I made the joke when she said she heard bongo drums out of nowhere; I didn’t hear that sound although a few times I did hear what I thought were wood knocks.
One final thing to note is I had an experience about 30-ish miles north of here in Davis, WV back in 2013. I was driving with someone around 1am on our way to a cabin. As we rounded a curve, I swear I saw a Bigfoot on the side of the road, headed up the embankment into the woods. He stopped briefly when illuminated by my headlights; I remember thinking he looked so startled. I also remember immediately thinking, 'wow, he’s a lot shaggier than I thought he would be.' The hair/fur was a deep auburn color. My friend happened to be looking down at her phone but I screamed and slammed on my breaks. I remember actually shaking and being unable to verbalize to her what I had seen; I couldn’t believe what I thought I saw. That encounter lasted no more than three seconds.
These are the only two instances of a potential encounter that I have had on my life. I am wondering if anyone has had any similar experiences in the Seneca Creek/Spruce Knob area or anywhere in the Monongahela National Forest. Or if you think it’s possible this could have actually been a Bigfoot making sure we left the woods." UE

News & Notes: Bizarre Upright Cryptid Canine Encountered in Brazil (Video / Images)
These videos seem to depict 2 separate types of canine-like creatures. One supposedly was encountered somewhere in Brazil and the other in Argentina.
I'm not going to say whether I believe that these are authentic or not. I'm just presenting 'as is' for you perusal.
I collected a few screenshots in an attempt to see the upright creature in Brazil more definitively. In the video, this being seems to charge the witness. Lon

David Eckhart | Alien Abductee / Close Encounters Experiencer | Arcane Radio 10.23..2020Join me as I welcome alien abductee and experiencer David Eckhart to Arcane Radio. Over a decade ago, David and his family began to endure numerous abductions and close encounters in their home near Pensacola, Florida. The encounters have continued, though the activity has recently picked up in intensity. David's ordeal has been thoroughly documented because of his determination to discover why he was chosen. I have assisted David in his journey since 2010. His story was presented on 'Fact or Faked: The Paranormal Files' which resulted in one of the series highest rated episodes, namely because the team could not debunk David's claims. It's time for the truth to be disclosed LIVE. Please be advised: some of the information may be too intense and graphic for certain individuals. David's story can be found in my book 'Alien Disclosure: Experiencers Expose Reality' - As always, it is expected David Eckhart will provide much new information and insights.

2 'Transformed' Upright Canines Frighten Hunter in Hamilton County, New York
A hunter in upstate New York encounters 2 large-headed quadruped coyote-like dogs that literally transform into 8 foot tall upright canines with green eyes.
The following account was recently forwarded to me:
I was staying with my brother and father at cabin on a hunting retreat in the upper part of New York state near Speculator. We had gone out there to hunt deer during the 2016 black powder season.
I was up late, sharpening knives for the dressing and cooking of anything we managed to take. It was about 2 am and I was getting ready to go to sleep once I finished the last knife. I saw the security light outside flick on, and got up to go look at what it was. You’re not allowed to take deer at night, but I figured there was no harm in just looking at one, seeing which way it went, so we could track it tomorrow. And if it wasn’t a deer, it would still be nice to see the local wildlife before I retired for the night.
So I look out the window, and I see these two big, coyote looking dogs with HUGE heads outside, on all fours. I initially thought they were Coy Wolves, a hybrid between a coyote and a large dog, happens sometimes in this area. So I watch these things sniff around. We had grilled some hot dogs earlier. They must have come looking for the smell. I watch them for a few minutes, and then one of them does this weird, jittering motion. It sort of stretched its hind legs out one at a time, and even through the glass, I could hear a popping sound. A really horrible noise.
This thing did one leg, then the other, and then it sort of rolled it’s shoulders, made another popping sound, and stood up on its hind legs! We had put our bags of deer scent and stuff into the tree. Like you would to keep bears out of it, tied up into the tree. It reaches up, grabs at the bag, and pulls it down.
The thing rips it open and tears through it. It finds the deer urine in there and sniffs it, then seemed almost angry, and throw it into the wall of the cabin. At this point, it spots me. This thing looks at me, locks eyes, and the second one stands up on its hind legs! They look at me for a few seconds, staring me down. I literally thought I was going to die.
They seemed angry I had seem them, or upset about it. They turned and ran off, still on their hind legs.
I broke down crying, locked myself in the bathroom, and refused to leave the cabin the rest of the trip. I stayed there, and dressed and cooked the deer, I wouldn’t go outside and actually covered the window in my bedroom because I was convinced I was going to wake up to one of them staring in at me.
I estimate both creatures at about 8 to 8 and a half feet tall. I couldn’t see genitals on either of them. They had green luminous eyes and were colored like coyotes, tan with grey on the back and white or cream bellies. They had tufts on the end of the ears, like a bobcat. Long tails, like a wolf’s tail, fluffy like that" Name withheld

I Saw My Reflection 'Change'...and It Still Haunts Me!
A woman recalls her experience, as a girl, of seeing her reflection in a bathroom mirror transform into a malevolent being. Has anything like that happened to you?
I received the following account recently:
“Something happened to me a long time ago, but it still haunts me to this day. When I was about 12 years old, I was in the bathroom, just staring into the mirror. I'm not sure why I was doing this, to be honest. I'm not a vain person. But as I continued to look, something just seemed weird about my reflection. So I kept staring, trying to figure it out. But then, it happened. My reflection moved...but I didn't.
I continued to watched as the color of my eyes changed from bright blue to black, and my reflection had this weird creepy grin. I ran out of the bathroom, and since then, I have never liked looking at my reflection in the mirror. Has anything like this happened to anyone else? Does anyone know what this is / was? I have never dared to try staring at my reflection again since then. And to be clear...NO, I wasn't on any drugs. But since that day, I've had this kind of underlying fear that if I stare at a mirror that 'thing', whatever it was staring back at me, will come back.
I have heard stories since the incident about the children with the black eyes, but I think this was different. Those children were not reflections. The stories about them all seem to depict them in actual life situations. Standing on a corner or running in to them in various places. Not having it appear in a mirror. I've tried to research it a bit, but I can't seem to find anything that really fits what happened to me. I wish I had a witness to it, but sadly, I was alone in the house at the time it happened. If I had a witness, as least I wouldn't feel so crazy. I mean, I feel like I must be. But I swear this actually happened to me. Or at the very least, my brain is convinced it happened to me. But the fear of it all has lingered to this day (I'm 40 now).
Whatever the thing was, it was certainly malicious. It had this kind of, "I'm going to eat you alive" look in its eyes. I keep calling it 'IT'...but it was ME. But, so totally NOT me at the same time. Ugh, I don't know if I'm explaining this very well, but I'm trying my best. It had my face, my hair, my skin. But the eyes and that grin was certainly NOT mine. Also, to make something clear, I never said "Bloody Mary" 3x in that mirror, so I don't think it was that either. And I just realized how silly that sounded. But, I wanted to clarify that, because it does kind of bear some resemblance to the urban legend. But, it was different. I mean, the obvious thing is that no one came to kill me or anything. However, my life in general did seem to take a drastic turn for the worse after that incident.
Bad things just kept happening in rapid succession and not just, "I had a bad day" kind of things. I'm talking catastrophically horrible things and it didn't stop, though it just slowed its pace a bit. Instead of something truly sh*tty happening nearly every week, now it's more like every couple months or so.
If anyone else has experienced anything like this, or know what it could be, please let me know. This has been literally haunting me for years. It would be nice to have SOME kind of explanation for it if there IS one. I need to find a way to deal with it and to make it stop. It wasn't just a distortion. This thing actually moved in a direction I did NOT. It smiled when I didn't smile and it's eyes turned black. I wasn't staring at it for very long, only about a minute or two. I could see if I were sitting there for like 10 minutes or more, maybe this might have been the case. But I wasn't. The image of the thing wasn't distorted at all. I could see it quite clearly.” RM
NOTE: I have been involved in cases where the client saw an apparition or their distorted image was in a mirror. It was usually followed by strange activity. Some people believe that mirrors are a window into the spirit world...or worse. I usually advise client to move mirrors in their bedroom to a location where their reflection cannot be seen directly while lying in bed. It's more of a precaution than anything else. Lon

Bizarre Upright Cryptid Canine Encountered in Brazil (Video / Images)
These videos seem to depict 2 separate types of canine-like creatures. One supposedly was encountered somewhere in Brazil and the other in Argentina.
I'm not going to say whether I believe that these are authentic or not. I'm just presenting 'as is' for you perusal.
I collected a few screenshots in an attempt to see the upright creature in Brazil more definitively. In the video, this being seems to charge the witness. Lon

UPDATE: 'O'Hare Mothman,' UFOs & Alien Being Experiences Continually Reported by Airport Personnel
The following account was posted by Phantoms & Monsters Fortean Research investigator Manuel Navarette on UFO Clearinghouse. A cargo company employee at O'Hare International Airport reports various unexplained sightings and encounters experienced by himself and others on the job. This is a follow-up after a phone conversation with the witness:
The following was originally posted at 'O'Hare Mothman,' UFOs & Alien Being Experiences Continually Reported by Airport Personnel:
"My name is *redacted* and I am 34 years old and live in Elk Grove Village, Illinois. I work at O’Hare International Airport for *redacted* where I am a member of the ground crew. I have worked for *redacted* for the last 8 years and have seen a lot of strange things in my time there. I have also heard from others of the strange things that are seen and heard at O’Hare at all hours of the day and night. Anyone who has worked in and around the “cargo” facility for more than a few months has seen the strange lights in the sky or have seen anything from ghosts to strange creatures of all manners at least once. The entire airport itself is spooky, with many strange tunnels that are sealed off and forbidden to even go near to strange military vehicles that come and go at all hours of the day and night. There’s even an old graveyard on the airport grounds.
I have seen my fair share of things, I’ve seen a lot of UFO’s in the air above the airport, strange creatures that seem to hang around the airport, including the one they call the Mothman. These sightings mostly occur toward the evening and night. I work second shift, so I get out later in the evening and have seen many of these strange lights after 10-11 p.m. There is one object dubbed the “Diamond Craft” it’s a large diamond shaped light that frequently appears in the sky around the perimeter of the airport on some nights. It’s pretty well known to many of the ground crews that work throughout the airport and can sometimes be seen 2-3 nights in a row. It frequently appears in the same general area and hangs around for about 5-10 minutes before disappearing.
One night, about the 4th of July 2020, I was outside overseeing the unloading of a plane when myself and a group of four people all saw what looked like a large person with wings fly over us, it was about 20 feet above us and flew right over us with very little sound. It looked basically as I said, a large man about 6 feet tall with a very large pair of batlike wings. It was solid black, so much so that it stood out against the sky and lights of the airport. It was over in a matter of a few seconds and people joked that we had just seen the “Mothman” and the conversation quickly turned to the many sightings that people have had in and around the airport of something similar. I have had multiple encounters with UFO’s and their occupants that have been ongoing for the last 2 years.
I have seen what I can only describe as aliens on at least 8 occasions, both at work and at home. It all started back in 2018, it was around May and I looked up into the sky as I was moving from one building to the next and saw a large circular object that was giving off a green glow, it hovered silently about 100 feet from the ground and I as I looked up at it, I got the strange sensation that the object or something in it was looking back at me. I picked up the pace and tried to get into the building but the closer I got to the door an overwhelming urge came over me to stop and look up at the object. It finally got too much to bear and I stopped about 20 feet from the door and looked up just in time to see the object slowly drift away and higher into the sky. It continued its upward trend for about 10 seconds before it simply disappeared from sight.
My first encounter with seeing one of the aliens happened a month later, I went to the office to get a set of extra keys that were needed to access a storage locker. The office was dark as the people in it had all left sometime earlier. I went in, got the keys and was walking out when something made me stop and look out into the hallway toward the stairs and I saw what looked like a medium sized man looking right at me. We looked at each other for what seemed like a minute before I turned away and when I looked again, it was gone. The freak out then came over me, It looked like what you see on TV, grey skin and very large black almost insect like eyes. It had no lips to speak of, only a thin slit and was at least 3 inches shorter than I am (I’m 5’10). I must have sounded like an idiot basically hyperventilating in an empty dark office but within a few minutes, I had regained my composure. Surprisingly, I was not afraid and have not ever sensed a reason to be afraid, they can look scary as hell but I have never felt like I was in danger. I have since then seen them only from a distance, usually in the shadow or trying to hide and observe.
I have sensed them at home, but have never seen them inside the house, I have caught glimpses of them looking into the window but those were only momentary glimpses as they seem to be able to anticipate me looking toward them and quickly get out of sight. I have a dog who will bark at the window or the door unexpectedly at night as if he is trying to warn me but when I go to look, I end up seeing nothing. I also have a cat but if she’s seen anything she’s not telling or is indifferent to the whole thing. I have only had one encounter with one at home where I have seen it, and that was the reason that prompted me to write to you.
It happened about a week ago. I had days off and was at home at about 1030 at night when my dog started growling and then ran toward the back door. As I got up and followed him, I saw that the backyard lights had been triggered and that standing on the back deck in front of the back door was what looked like the same alien I had seen the first time. My dog was going berserk and would charge the door but stop short of hitting it and then back up again. It looked right at me before it took a step back and straight out disappeared right in front of me. I didn’t freak like the first time but felt a little unnerved that it had come so close to my house and had allowed itself to be seen.As before, I felt like I was in no danger but did feel like it was trying to communicate with me in some way. My dog stayed in front of the door growling for another 10 minutes before it came back to my room with me. I stayed up for a while trying to make sense of what had just happened. That’s when I got online and started looking up information about what had just occurred that led to this website and the reports of the sightings at O’Hare."
The update information following an interview by Manuel Navarette with the witness:
I spoke with the witness on two separate occasions and was able to put together the following report in regards to the witnesses sightings. The witness is an employee for a major airline operating out of O’Hare International Airport and has been working there for over 8 years. He is a 34 year old divorced male who lives in the area of O’Hare Airport. When I asked the witness for verification, he produced employment credentials which included a security badge. After verification of the witnesses credentials and employment, I began to ask the witness various questions in regard to the report submitted to UFO Clearinghouse. The witness stated that he has worked the overnight shift for most of his time at O’hare and in that time he has witnessed various UFO’s and has had encounters with what he could only describe as “aliens”.
The witness also stated that he has had one encounter with a flying humanoid while at work on the tarmac. When I asked him to elaborate he indicated that he was working with a crew prepping a plane for flight and that one of the crew noticed and pointed out the flying humanoid. When I asked him to describe the entity, the witness said it looked like it was 6-7 feet tall and had black wings that he estimated were at least 12 feet wide. The witness did not indicate seeing any red eyes and stated that it was completely black and flying at a very fast rate of speed.
When asked how the rest of his crew reacted, he stated that many joked that it was the “Mothman” and many of them had either seen or heard stories about this creature and the sightings around the airport. When I asked him if he had any feelings of dread or fear the witness indicated that he did not. When I asked if it could have been something like a crane or heron or a large owl, the witness stated there was no way it could have been as he had seen large birds before and this entity did not fit the shape of a large bird.
When asked about the first encounter with an entity that he had while at work, the witness stated exactly as reported in his sighting. He had gone to get an extra set of keys he needed and that while inside the office building he had come face to face with the being. He stated that they stared at each other for what seemed an eternity, he stated in reality that it might have only been a few seconds. When the witness turned away and looked back, he was gone. The witness stated that it was pretty cut and dry and there were no bright lights or other theatrics involved.
The witness stated that ever since his first encounter at work that he has felt that they have been observing him from a distance and he indicated that he has seen them at the perimeter fence and sometimes attempting to blend into the shadows of the buildings at the airport. I asked him if he had reported any missing time during any of his experiences and he felt that he had not, but the witness indicated that he could not be 100% sure that he had not experienced missing time.
The witness stated that he felt that he was being observed and that they did seem to keep track of his movements both at work and at home. When I asked him to elaborate, the witness said that he can sometimes see them out of the corner of your eye and that he sees unexplained shadows at night that he cannot account for. I asked him if he ever felt afraid that they were going to harm him or abduct him, he stated that he felt no ill-intentions from them and that they were merely curious and that if they had wanted to abduct him they would have and he would have been powerless to stop them doing so. The witness did state that he felt that the entity that he saw that night at his house was scared off by his dog barking and that he felt that he was in no danger.
When we started talking about his encounters at work, the witness said that he has always seen strange things at night around the airport. Sightings of unidentified flying objects are commonplace and that the object that he described as the “Diamond Craft” was seen by various airport personnel at least 3-4 times a month and that it would hover for a few minutes before either disappearing or shooting off at a rapid pace. When asked if the airport ever responded to reports of these sightings, the witness said at first they would but eventually they became so commonplace that the airport would just basically ignore them and tell their employees that unless there was a “clear and present danger” to the aircraft there was not much they could do.
When asked about the military presence at the airport, the witness said that ever since his report was submitted he had noticed a marked increase in military presence around O’Hare. Military and government vehicles were a common sight and they came and went around the airport at all hours of the day and night. When I asked him if he knew what they were doing or going he indicated that he did not know and really did not want to know.
When I asked him about the tunnels in and around the airport the witness stated that there were many tunnels that criss-crossed the entirety of the airport grounds, many of them large enough to accommodate large service vehicles. Many of the tunnels were off-limits and many were locked and posted as off-limits. When I asked if he knew what most of the tunnels were used for, the witness stated that many were service tunnels used in the day to day operations of the airport for accessing utilities and whatnot. When asked if he knew what the other tunnels were used for, the witness indicated that he did not.
The witness did provide hand drawn sketches of the entity he encountered while at work and has seen frequently around the airport and of the entity that he saw outside his home. Those drawings have been included below.
Conclusion:
It is the opinion of the investigator that the witness is being truthful and that his accounts of the sightings are credible and warrant continued investigation. The witness has been helpful and forthcoming with information and has indicated that he would assist by reporting any further sightings to the investigator and the members of the Phantoms and Monsters Fortean Investigation Team.
Have you had a sighting of a flying humanoid or huge bat-like creature in the Chicago, Illinois metro area / Lake Michigan region? The entity has also been referred to as the 'Chicago Mothman', 'Chicago Owlman' & 'O'Hare Mothman.' Please feel free to contact me at lonstrickler@phantomsandmonsters.com - your anonymity is guaranteed. Our investigative group is conducting a serious examination of his phenomenon. We are merely seeking the truth and wish to determine what eyewitnesses have been encountering. Your cooperation is truly appreciated. You can call me directly at 410-241-5974 as well. Thanks.

Early 90's Winged Humanoid Witness Encounters in Chicago
The following recent comments were posted in reference to the sightings of the winged humanoids in Chicago:
"I had my own sighting with a similar winged creature in 1994 in downtown Chicago. I was fascinated with the architecture of the city. A friend and I were staying on the 11th floor of a hotel. I was out straddling the window seal taking pictures of some gargoyles on another building. One of the gargoyles in the center above the eaves turned its head and stared at me. It must've heard the clicking sound my camera was making as I took multiple shots.
I called my friend over to have a look and the creature flew away out of our eyesight. It was exciting to have such an experience with another witness. We looked for the creature all over the city for the next fourteen nights and never saw it again." ZF
-----
"Back around1990 in Chicago, my buddy and his brother were putting in a stereo system in a car from a driveway that was behind a small apartment building that was right off an alley. It was around midnight and as they were both in the car focusing on the task.
Then something jumped on the roof of the car and was rocking it back and forth. They said it was rocking the car very hard. They said they can hear nails scraping on the roof as well. It stopped and when it did they agreed to jump out the car and run for the building. They said they did so and as they got to the door they looked behind them and on top of a building across the alley from them, which is a condemned factory, in the roof was a gargoyle type creature.
They woke up their father and told them what happened. They grabbed baseball bats and the father a gun to go out there to close the car doors. The thing was gone.
Me and our other friends didn't really believe them although their father confirmed that it took place although he didn't see it. They told the story for many years and we were always freaked out when they did. I knew nothing about Mothman back then and neither did they. But now with all these sightings and stories about this creature in Chicago, it makes me believe the story they told was true. And many others have seen it." FE

News & Note: Zimbabwean Man Accused of Harboring 'Goblins'
A Zimbabwean businessman is accused of harboring 'goblins' according to local villagers. Apparently, people observed an unexplained entity.
Here is an interesting recent account from Zimbabwe:
Villagers and two police officers ran for cover after they allegedly stumbled upon 'goblins' in a businessman's suitcase while searching for poison that allegedly led to the death of several community members' dogs.
The businessman, Sanderson Bloom Shamuyashe, who runs a grinding mill at Lupote Business Centre in Dete, Zimbabwe is the eye of a storm as he is also being accused of digging a grave of one of his wife's relatives. The businessman, however, has vehemently denied the accusations.
The villagers were up in arms with the businessman after their dogs mysteriously died after getting into his homestead. The villagers enlisted the services of police officers from Dete police base who accompanied them but were gripped with fear when they opened the business man's suitcase. A source stated:
"They were shocked when they saw strange beings which they believed were goblins and were seen running for their dear lives," said a source.
"Most recently he was seen by villagers digging a grave of a relative of his wife. He fled from the scene leaving his shoes which were used as exhibit and the issue was taken to Chief Nelukoba and after a full trial the chief ordered him to leave the area but he denied vehemently that he was the one who was seen desecrating a grave,"
"He (Shamuyashe) said the chief should enlist the services of witch-hunters popularly known as tsikamutandas to come and sniff out the witch saying if tsikamutandas catch someone else he would take the villagers and the chief to task."
The businessman's wife Bessie Ndlovu who works for a safari company stated:
"I heard that police officers and villagers saw strange things at our homestead when police were investigating a case of dogs which died mysteriously. I will no longer stay with him because he was caught digging a grave of my younger sister. He ran away and left shoes at the grave site.
"The issue did not go down well with my parents. The matter was taken to Chief Nelukoba who after a full trial ordered us to vacate the place but my husband refused to leave."
Shamuyashe said:
"There is no goblin that they saw, I even advised village head Simanyayi, former councillor, my father-in-law and other villagers to enlist the services of tsikamutandas to root out such goblins. I told them that if they fail to root out such invisible things they have to give me a beast."
He even denied that he was found digging a grave:
"I don't dig graves. I told the chief (Nelukoba) that I won't leave because I'm not a witch. They have to look for tsikamutandas who will name and shame the person who was seen digging the grave. I will not leave, I will stay here."

Upright Canine Encounters in Phoenix, Arizona Area
3 upright canine witness accounts from the Phoenix, Arizona area. Are you familiar with similar accounts in your region? If so, contact me.
The following accounts were received by me over the years:
Four teenagers walked onto the Shalimar Golf Course under the cover of darkness in summer 2012. The course is in a highly populated residential area of the city so the group tried to keep quiet, walking along a line of palm trees next to a wall. Then their world changed.
“We were there talking,” AP said. “My girlfriend says something like, ‘hey something just jumped out of that palm tree.’ A few seconds later she lets out a blood-curdling scream, just pure shocked terror.” AP turned and saw something he’d only seen in movies.
“There’s a … creature lumbering along the wall towards us,” AP said. “It was as tall as me, six foot, hunched over, huge snout like a werewolf.” The beast lunged toward the teens and they took off. “It was chasing after us,” AP said. “I just turned and ran, I didn’t think to look back.”

In early 2007 the witness was driving down Baseline Road and passed a park. She saw a large dog sitting in the park and paid no attention. But then she saw that it was starting to run after her car. She said it stayed right with her on the driver's side and did not seem to want to give up. She floored the gas and was going really fast and the dog kept up. Finally, she lost it. She looked in the rear view mirror and the dog stood up on its hind legs and walked across the road!
She vowed never to be in that area again at night. She said a short time after that, a friend was driving to her house down Baseline Road and saw this same creature. It chased her also and walked on two legs.

"I saw a rottweiler walking on its hind legs straight to the middle of our camp outside of the city. It was easily 5 feet tall and had bright orange eyes. I freaked out and screamed as it was running at us, still standing up. It disappeared into a bush after we turned the corner.
Later on at our other camp, an old man with his face covered up by hair visited us and acted very strangely. We ran out of drinks, so a friend and I decided to head out on foot (no car; a friend had to take it home). We saw a car. As it approached, it slowed down to a halt and the same man asked if we wanted a ride. We said no because by this time my friends had told me the man was a skinwalker. He grabbed my arm and pulled me by his car and looked straight at me. As my friend ran up to grab me, the man took off in his car." FH
