wouldn't want the things peeking in sneaking inside number one the thing on missus ánewá Road submitted by Jess O'Hara my best friend kay moved to Wabash and into a house with her brother and sister-in-law several months ago and it wasn't until this past week that I was able to go and visit them it was a day visit because I had to work the next day but it had been a long time since I saw my friend so naturally I didn't want to leave I procrastinated the moment when I would leave but when I dozed off for a few minutes I knew it was time to go it was around 9 p.m. when I left Wabash the Sun had set but the sky was still lied now to get back to us 31 from Wabash Cay had told me the best way to go back would be to go past her mother's house on 1100 South this route took me over the Missis ánewá reservoir that road is pitch black it is lined by trees on both sides so you feel like you're in a tunnel even your high beams seem weak by the time I reached the reservoir the light was almost completely gone now I love flying down these back roads at 70 or 80 miles per hour with the window down and I'll definitely admit I was going too fast as I turned onto missus into a road my GPS had been sitting on my dashboard but the grip on the bottom of its stand did not hold very well so as I turned on the road it went flying crap I thought the road was completely vacant so I simply slowed to a stop without completely pulling off to the side of the road I put my tourists into park and rolled up the window it was beginning to get cold as I was fishing around the passenger seat for my GPS I thought I saw something out of the corner of my eye something light in color my hair is blonde at the tips so at first I thought that that was what advised I grabbed the turtle what my mother calls the stand of the GPS and hauled it back up to the dashboard quietly cursing because the gearshift hurt my ribs when I leaned over it I had started off again and was about to roll my window back down when I turned into the site of the reservoir if the woods that bordered the road before felt like black masses pressing onto me going over that bridge was like being on a thin string over an abyss I slowed as I drove onto the bridge and move toward the center of the road flipping on my high beams on a map the bridge does not look very long but in the dark it felt like miles as I approached the far bank I saw a light colored blob off to the side of the road about even with the wooden sign reading misison to a lake it was on the shoulder beside the guardrail at first I slowed down more thinking it could be a dog or something that could bolt across my path at any minute the thing turned to look at my car and my theory of it being a large dog flew right out the window it almost looked like a man as I neared it but it didn't have a stitch of clothing on it it was bald and squatted on its haunches which was what made me think it was an animal at first its ears were appointed and up swept but positioned on either side of its head not on top my first reaction was to double-check that my doors were locked even though they did automatically when the car was in DRI for more than 30 feet then I checked my windows the sunroof though was open but the ones and the doors were closed as I drew closer to this creature it turns its back to me and starts to lope along the road on all fours but this didn't help give it the impression of human the only way I can describe its method of locomotion was like the werewolf in the third Harry Potter film it was a very smooth but lanky movement that human beings just can't pull off with that amount of grace I immediately move right into the proper lane in hopes of passing it without hitting it or it hitting me I was seeing much more of this theme that I wanted to and I was so transfixed that I wasn't even paying attention to the road now but I knew that there was a curve ahead and once I passed it I could put my gas pedal to the floor and leave this thing in the dust it was about at this point that I realized it was now running alongside my car I could see it out the corner of my eye but I was forcing myself to keep my eyes on the road ahead even so I could tell that its head was bobbing roughly level with my side mirror at the point where the guardrails ended it suddenly turned and bounded down into the trees leaving me alone on the dark road once again then I floored it in tour around that curve doing about 85 or 90 I kept that up for about 15 seconds before I thought I had put enough distance between that thing and myself then I backed off the gas and headed for my friend's mother's house I pulled into their gravel driveway a few minutes later and I sent there as my entire body began to shake it took me a few tries to close the sunroof because my hands were trembling so much I sent there for about five minutes until the shaking finally stopped I'm pretty sure the people inside the house were thinking that I was casing the place or trying to read a map either way no one came out to greet me when I was under control again I rolled down my window turned on some music loud enough to drown out the wind and I continued to tear my way down the road more eager than ever to get to Kokomo streetlights and people this happened just a week ago after what I saw I don't know if I'll be able to cross the Missis into a lake after dark again [Music] hey you listening to this video I've got a challenge for you I've got a challenge for you if that story creeped you out where if any of the future ones do push that subscribe button I promise to keep bringing you more and more thrills now sorry for the interruption let's get back to the show number two the theme in the blush submitted by anonymous I live in a semi-rural place in Australia there's a fair amount of bush land around here but there's still too many people for the more exotic animals to live in the bush I've lived here all my life and I can say I know of everything that lives in this particular stretch of bush it's mostly possum spiders and snakes with a few feral cats sometimes I even hear the whoo of an owl but I know for sure that there's something else living in there - on two occasions I've encountered it and both times were right outside my house the first time I encountered it was on a really hot summer night my room is the hottest in the house no matter the time of year it's always far too hot for my liking so on hot summer nights I would sit in my front yard to cool off one of these times I was out there at midnight I was looking out at the bush listening to the noises but one particular sound caught my attention there was this noise of sticks snapping quite close by I was looking trying to see if a person was walking through the bush which isn't really uncommon it is a well-known shortcut in the area but I couldn't see a soul yet the noise was still coming from behind a cluster of trees it wasn't moving much from behind them but just when I was about to accept that it was just a loud possum or something like that I saw a figure sprint out from behind the trees it was so dark I didn't get a good look at it but it was fast and pale and definitely taller than 6 feet it ran off into the bush at an Godley speed I was so startled that I ran back inside and locked the door I didn't get a lot of sleep that night now the second encounter I can't be completely sure it was the same animal because I didn't see it this time but I did hear it it was much like the first time it was hot in my room so I was calling off in my front yard it was dark out when I thought I heard something coming from the bush it wasn't sticks this time but a low guttural growl it was faint and I wasn't sure if it was my imagination but then I heard it again much louder and much closer it was like nothing I've ever heard before I know of the weird noises possums make when they feel threatened but this was different this was coming from something big and the noise was directed at me I again ran inside and stayed up late keeping an eye out while I researched what it could be I found out about an old Aboriginal myth about the Yowie Yahweh is much like Australia's version of a Bigfoot a big hairy ape-man in the wild but I'm not going to jump right to believing that was it besides due to Australia's colonization I'm sure a lot of Aboriginal myths and legends were lost which is unfortunate maybe one of those legends could help me figure out what this animal was I still walk through the bush I have since I was seven years old and I'm not about to stop now but nowadays when I walk through there every time I hear a stick snap off the path I feel eyes on the back of my head and I don't brush it off like I used to I take note of it because there is something in that bush something not normal and the next time I encounter it I don't plan on running to safety I'm going to stick around to see what it is in greater detail I'll even try to get a picture of it if I can survive the encounter number three lake creature submitted by Stormcloak - this happened a few years back in BC Canada by the USA border at a place called Kristina Lake it's a small boating lake and there are not many fish to catch in those waters but the water is dark and murky and it's a great place to go in the summer my grandparents have a cabin there at the lake since I live in Vancouver Canada it takes a while to drive up there maybe around eight hours but when we pull up I can't wait for relaxation and peace but what happened in this story was far from peaceful on the fifth day we were there my cousins were out swimming it was late and we were the only ones out on the dock and probably the entire area we were jumping into the lake and swimming out as fast as we could we were all pretending a tentacle would grab us and pull us under if we didn't when it was my turn I was hesitant but as the youngest I wanted to impress them so I jumped the water was absolutely freezing and I surfaced instantly out of breath and just before I reached the dock ladder I felt something brush my foot I dismissed it as a fish as the neighbors had a net under their dock I kept feeling this brushing on my foot and so I decided to go back inside a little bit weirded out the next morning while eating breakfast I looked outside it was a perfect day for swimming we went to my aunt's cabin and started playing for the day nothing weird there but when we decided to take the small boat back to our house things really went downhill we were rowing the boat my cousin's brother and I when we hit something we assumed it must have been a log and kept rowing I kept an eye out for swimmers and logs ahead the Sun shone brightly and I could see really far in the distance not too far away I saw this black shape under the water if it had just come up to skim the surface it was too big to be a fish but too small to be a person and no child in their right mind would swim that far out alone or else lead risk drowning we got back to the cabin and I had dinner and I felt like going for a late swim this time the entire family went down I brought my swimming mask to try to see the bottom I dived down and swam towards my grandparents slowly seeing what I could under the water and reaching out to see what I could feel I felt something brush me like the night before and I thought hey I might be able to see this fish now so I'd over only to surface screaming and bawling when I got to the dock my father asked me what was wrong and I said what is that my poor dad confused that my distress got a mask in Dovan surfaced and told me that there was nothing there later that night I told my brother what had happened after I went under I saw something staring at me it had bright yellow eyes and a fish-like body but what will haunt my mind forever what really makes this experience so terrifying was the fact that and I swear on this this theme had the face of a person when I looked at it it looked back at me and it's human-like lips moved as if to speak to me but I don't know what it said I have no idea what I saw that day and I hope I don't run into anything like it ever again I still travel to that lake from time to time but I haven't seen anything like it since but I am looking forward to this summer maybe I'll have the courage to change my mind maybe one day I'll find it and understand what it was and where it came from number four flying creature of Missouri submitted by Dallas it was me and my cousin let's call him Alex it was a summer night not too long ago the year was 2015 and it was a little after 11:30 our uncle and grandma lived next to each other in our small town in Missouri and in this story we saw the most bizarre thing we had ever seen and we're sure that it wasn't normal anyway it was just our usual summer night the two of us were running around playing night tag and other silly games the children do at one point the adults went inside to get some drinks so they left Alex and I outside to play we were walking from our uncle's house to our grandma's since they are close neighbors to tell her we were playing cards a thing we do every Thursday night there is one streetlight on the end of the road so it was almost completely pitch black all we had was a large flashlight a tool that we had borrowed from my uncle we were talking about games and other things we wanted to get and that's when we heard it a loud and terrifying screech we both out of instinct fell to the ground I looked up and what I saw made me scream what in the world is that I yelled Alex looked up and pointed the flashlight in the direction of the noise the trees were in the way but in between the sparse leaves we could faintly see the outline of something big it wasn't a bird and it was way too big to be a bat the creature then darted behind a tree and we suddenly lost sight of it we thought it was gone so slowly we calmed down then darted to the overhang on my grandmother's porch for safety just as we began to run we heard the screech again this time it was closer and it was ear piercing screw this man Alex yelled as we bolted to our grandmas I looked up and saw the silhouette flying in the direction of our grandma's play and I'm sure that Alex saw too because he instantly stopped turned around and ran the other way now we were running back to our uncle's house not stopping to look back at that thing wants we ran inside slammed the door and got stares of confusion from our panting Alex's little sister asked what was wrong and we explained what the heck had just happened his sister didn't believe us not much to my surprise she thought we were just trying to scare her so she headed out the door to prove that it was fake that we were just lying we stood outside with our baseball bats ready to attack anything that flew towards us but we didn't hear it or see it again that night we've encountered this creature a few more times but the last time we heard it my friend Gabby was there too each time it feels even more terrifyingly bone-chilling than the last now we don't dare leave the house past 11 when we visit we've never seen the creature up close but the screech and the shadow flying around is enough to give us nightmares we believe that what we saw is known as the Turkey Creek monster as we live extremely close to that area in fact we grew up hearing stories of the flying demon I don't know if the legends are true but I know for dang sure we heard something that night we saw something not of this world and I feel grateful that we here today able to share this story number 5 werewolves and Maine submitted by Nathaniel T let me begin by saying this I've had encounters with these creatures since I was young to be exact the first encounter I had was when I was 6 years old it was a late night and I had a strange creepy feeling that someone was watching me now being six years old I was scared of the dark I guess like most young kids it was dark in my room and I was lying in bed for about 10 minutes trying to sleep but I just couldn't I had this urge to look out my window which my bed was up against at the time but when I looked out the window I was startled to see three pairs of yellow eyes looking right at me I screamed and ran downstairs to my mother she went up the stairs to my room and looked out the window as well but nothing was there she told me that they were just cats or maybe a couple of wild dogs this made me feel better for a time but I still felt like something was off the next few experiences happened at my grandparents house for a long time I stayed there due to family matters but the whole time I was there I would hear these howls it happened so often in the middle of the night I got used to them but then they would get closer and closer every week and soon enough to my explicit horror I would hear scratching at my room's one window but I always had the blinds closed so I didn't see what was out there and I hope it couldn't see me but something tells me whatever was there it knew I was in that room after some of my family issues had been solved I had went back to live with my mom and nothing happened for about a year and a half eventually I went back to my grandparents but the creature that lived in those woods never left the back of my mind once I went to stay with them for a weekend as my grandfather had planned to go hunting with me but while I was staying there I didn't know I'd had the longest night of my life you see I'd fallen asleep in bed and after a while I was awakened by my grandparents cat Milly scratching at my bedroom door and meowing so I let her in about 15 minutes later because she just wouldn't stop but only a few minutes after that she was tired of being in my room and I had to let her back out but a few moments after I opened the door and I was walking back to bed after the cat left the room I heard he deep deep growl the cat looked straight at the glass door which leads outside the I looked as well seeing the same yellow eyes from long ago same color the same size the same shade that memory was scarred into my mind I wouldn't forget something like that but that night I saw more than just yellow lies just beyond that glass door peeking into the house I saw what looked like a wolf but standing on two legs its head was bushy with fur but its body was massive as if the thing had been lifting weights for years the cat hissed which provoked this creature and it growled it put its hands right up on the glass and then before my very eyes the creature made a sudden move for the door hinge I froze and then the thing trying to open it but thank God it was locked the creature then backed away into the darkness locking eyes with me as it did I was petrified looking into those eyes as soon as I couldn't see it anymore I ran to my room locked my bedroom door the rest of the night but I couldn't sleep because the tapping and scratching at my window wouldn't stop not to mention I couldn't help but thinking that this thing was intelligent enough to know how to open a door that night I heard growling outside as well the growling was so deep and loud it shook in my chest my window was seven feet off the ground and just faintly beyond the curtains I could see a shadow being cast at the window by the one streetlight outside I knew it was the creature it had the same bushy head and pointed ears as the thing before if I didn't know any better it would have looked like a large dog was pawing up against my door eventually that shadow faded away and I heard stepping going back into the woods that was a long night the next morning I asked my grandparents if they'd heard something anything but they said no and it freaked me out because how could they not hear that growling the scratching the howls I never told them the full story and I didn't want them to think that I was crazy so now I sit here wondering what was it that I saw the werewolves from the movies they can't be real right one scares me the most is that I feel like this won't be the last time I'll see this thing and honestly some morbid part of me wants to come face-to-face with it but I highly doubt I'll come out of that situation alive number six what was this theme submitted by Leroy Oh what I'm about to tell you is a true story I don't care if anyone believes me or not I only want an answer an answer as to what this thing was and how to kill it if it ever came down to me and it one thing you need to know is that I'm ex-military I've had some combat experience after I came back stateside for good I found an old log cabin at the lake in the Ozarks it was a nice place it was away from everything so it was quiet most of the time this I absolutely loved now in my cabin there are two floors on the top floor there is a long hallway that connects every room there together the cabin itself is a good 10 miles from the nearest gas station now I may not be the best writer or storyteller but I feel it's about time I told someone this experience one day I was coming home from a good day of fishing my boxer Dutch was riding shotgun with me he had his head out of the window of my pickup like he always did as we reached the house I saw my front door was completely busted open and my front window was broken from the inside I could tell because all the glass was shattered on the outside I got out of my truck cautiously to go check it out and I found something odd there were these claw marks all over the door the marks were at least 2 inches deep and 8 inches long so I spent that entire evening putting my door back up and boarding up that window I was making damn sure that whatever it was it would take a lot more for it to break down the door again that night I woke up around 1:30 Dutch was barking his head off going crazy I had no idea what the heck was going on so I got up to go check it out but halfway down the hallway I could no longer hear Dutch barking I've had that dog since he was a pop he's been with me for years and he'll bark at almost anything non-stop I was panicked now it was an emergency I rushed on the hallway only to see this thing this thing was skinny its skin was very pale wide and there was only a little bit of hair on the thing's body it was standing over Dutch who was now lying on the ground completely motionless I couldn't breathe I slowly stepped backwards trying to get to one of my guns from my room unfortunately the wooden board I was standing on creaked perfect timing at that very moment and looks back up at the thing hoping it hadn't heard me but now its eyes were locked on to mine those eyes were like big black pools what few hairs had had on its head stood up it cooked its head at me and then it spoke I know it sounds crazy but I swear to god this thing spoke to me human words come here all I could think after that was what on earth was this thing I turned and ran for my bedroom when I spun around to shut the door the thing was now standing in the hallway behind me standing exactly like it was before as if it had perfectly kept pace with me and stopped the moment I turned around that in itself was bone-chilling and then I heard it speak to me again come here I slammed the door and locked it and shoved my dresser in front of it just in case but for the rest of the night all I could hear from outside the door was come here come here it would repeat the same phrase the same way looping those words for the next hour or so before I finally heard it walk away and leave the house needless to say I didn't come out of my room until morning the first thing I did though when I came out was go and check on Dutch but Dutch had moved he didn't make it this was about two years ago since then I've set up cameras all over the place hoping against hope to see that thing again I want to make it pay for taking my Dutch away from me number seven something in the trees submitted by tries I've always been a staunch skeptic even growing up in a heavily superstitious and religious family I always look for the most logical reasoning behind everything despite all that there is one night I've never found any rational explanation for about six years ago my then-boyfriend let's call him Chad live with me in a small house on the outskirts of town it was a little rundown but it was still decent wood they detached garage and a nice backyard for our dogs we even had a small creek at the edge of the property where the yard gave way to woods considering that we were only twenty at the time we often spent nine selves with friends on one of these nights we were out with a mutual friend named John we had all gone to another friend's house together and we're returning to ours around midnight mind you we had not been drinking or doing anything else like that it had been a simple movie in a card game night anyway John had parked in our driveway and we were just sitting there talking before getting out so he could go home himself everything was fine and we were having a great time until my boyfriend began to yell what in the world from the front passenger seat I was sitting in the back leaning up between the front seats as we were talking I looked to where he was pointing and saw the headlights of John's car shining over the trees behind our back yard but then I saw movement whatever it was was gone before I could process anything other than the white birch trees I was confused but John was already putting the car into reverse and drove off down the road yelling what was that I see Chad is now physically shaking in the front seat and I'm begging them to tell me what happened to tell me what they saw finally while staring out the window as if looking for some other evidence of what he saw he tells me there was something in the trees at first he thought it was just another birch but then it moved it was shaped like a person but his posture was off and his limbs were gnarled like the branches the reason Chad didn't notice it at first was because the thing's skin looked exactly like the birch bark surrounding it almost like a camouflage it was only then when it began to move that he realized that this thing was no tree at all by the time my eyes followed where he was pointing the creature had already vanished behind the trees maybe it wasn't the smartest thing but as scared as I was I couldn't just leave our dogs behind both of them were still inside the house I told John to stop that we have to go back for them after a bit of convincing he turned the car around when we pulled up we cautiously stared at the tree line nothing moved everything looked exactly as it always had and yet somehow that area was so much more sinister than it was before we waited a few moments then John hit the button that unlocks the trunk I should add that John is ex-military and our group of friends have never been able to surprise prank or scare him before not much rattles the guy after pulling away from the house he hadn't said much instead he began to gear up he pulled out a long bladed knife from under a seat then got out he went around to his trunk grabbed a tire iron and handed to Chad then a baseball bat for me and this guy was prepared when I unlocked the door and turned on the light in living room the first thing I saw was our youngest dog bandit bandit was a chihuahua wiener dog Max and was only about six months old at the time he was huddled there where the couch meant the wall and he looked absolutely petrified he was so scared that even as I walked up to him he kept backing away until he tumbled off the edge of the corner where the two walls met even as I picked him up it could only cower and whimper next I went to find Barkley our one-year-old beagle usually he would meet us at the door with boundless enthusiasm but that night he was hiding in our bedroom I found him hunched in the corner silent and obviously afraid after checking all the doors and windows we gathered some overnight necessities and loaded everything back up in the cars and left for John's house Chad and I stayed with the dogs in John's living room that night we all slept with the lights on luckily we never saw that creature again but even still we moved shortly after I couldn't stand the thought of whatever that was just hanging out in our back yard blending in almost perfectly to this day my husband still has nightmares about what he saw we don't talk about it neither does John I've tried so many times to rationalize what happened that night I've never been able to come to a logical conclusion I guess sometimes there just isn't one number eight East Kentucky goatman submitted by Stephen B I'm 14 years old and I live in Eastern Kentucky now I'm not going to say the county I live in but it's basically no-man's land we don't have a townie restaurant or anything like that it's basically all mountains so naturally we play in those mountains all the time now this incident occurred when I was nine years old me and three other friends were out gathering sticks logs and twine to build a fort with about two and a half hours later we'd finished it it was nothing special but it wasn't small so we ran back to our house to get cap guns which we were going to use to play war with we gathered seven cap pistols and 11 cap rifles oh yes we had a lot of those things but when we got back to our fort it was torn down so we rebuilt it and played until sundown but it's the next day when everything goes terrible we were walking up the trail to the fort when we finally got there we were terrified at what we found our fort was intact this time but we saw something it had the body of a person up to the belly but then from the rest up this theme was a goat it was sitting on its knees and there was something lying in front of it we stood there for at least two minutes frozen in place by fear until one of us made a noise like a whimper then the theme then turned around its head and face of course were like a goat and then this thing proceeded to stand up I may be biased on this because I was short then but it seemed like this thing was at least 6 feet tall it began walking towards us and being the kids we were we started buying our cat guns at it these caps were extremely loud and we hope that it would scare the thing apparently it didn't like the loud piercing noise so it turned and ran away back into the mountains turns out this thing was eating me freshly killed buck I'll never forget the look of that deers face it was frozen in horror its eyes were wide and stuck that way and its mouth was frozen in a constant scream we didn't stay there much longer we ran back to the house as fast as we could and stayed indoors the rest of the day the whole time we avoided any windows I haven't told many about this story because the first person I did tell laughed at me I did some research after the incident and found out that it may have been the goat man and creature that's been spotted around these parts quite a lot and I hope I never see the thing again we still go up there every now and then sometimes we'd go to hunt but we're always sure to bring our rifles and muzzleloaders number 9 alien creatures submitted by Makoto I've always been someone who loved being in the woods being alone most of the time when I was young I always went camping in the most nature fied places I could find I never thought much about aliens or otherworldly creatures at all but one day I saw these things that I just can't really explain I must have been eight years old when I first had my encounter and my second encounter was when I was about 18 or 19 well for the first encounter it was a great day I was with family camping at our lot riding four-wheelers and just enjoying the great outdoors all in all everything was normal I had my camera on me and was taking so many pictures trying to capture memories the camera I had was one of the old-fashioned windup ones only limited to about 15 or 20 pictures so I tried to save them for the most important moment night soon fell and nothing really happened but I did get yelled at once for the flashes coming from my camera so I put my camera away and started hanging out with my cousin Dakota earlier that day we found some clay and we're messing with it we started making random items with it I wanted to take a picture of one of them when they dried at this point I realized I only had one picture left to take DK and I were sitting there talking about what we might do the next day when I saw what looked like the moon in the sky it was bigger than I've ever seen in my life but then that all changed when I noticed that it was moving this wasn't the moon and whatever it was was not making a sound just gliding across the night sky I wouldn't have noticed it but the trees were helping me see it move I went to take a picture but for some reason my camera was jammed so I just sat there and on disappointment asking Dakota if they saw that I pointed and he started freaking out trying to get the adults attention but they were too drunk to care he and I could only stare up at this orb the size of the moon slowly gliding I felt like I was stuck in the moment then as soon as it passed behind another tree it never came out the other side the thing just disappeared I believe what we saw that day was a UFO later on I looked back up in the sky to try to find the actual moon only to realize that it was a half moon night this is when I started thinking that we may not be alone now Dakota and I rarely talk about that day but the memory so real when I talked to people about it they don't believe me but I know what I saw even if my explanation for it is wrong now let me tell you about the second and closer encounter I was around 18 and I was alone at this point as well I'd had a rough day and I was fighting off stress and sadness the only way to calm my mind was to go for long walks in the woods now as you know I've been in the woods at night a lot before and I didn't care about it being dark I didn't care about being alone in the woods and I was walking on one of my favorite trails a trail that I nicknamed comfort drill just because it calmed me down a lot I had my headphones in and two knives on my belt just in case these knives were more of a peace of mind thing because if anything bigger did attack me I probably wouldn't stand a chance but it still felt better to have them compared to nothing anyway I know the woods pretty well I could go off path and go straight home if I wanted to so I'm walking down the path with headphones in loud as can be playing skillet but as it was I couldn't hear anything beyond those headphones but I was fine with it at that point until I felt like I was being watched that feeling it gives me goosebumps just thinking about it I felt my hair stand up and my body tense up and with one motion I took out my headphones and turned around knife drawn I was certain that I was being followed and it turns out I was right when I turned around about five feet away from me only by beat was this creature it was far from human and it was standing on two legs like Iowa's we both just stood there looking at each other waiting for each other next move now the creature it was standing up and was bent over on one hand as well with the left hand by its head it wasn't making a sound it was just staring at me I do I contact I have to say it could have been 8 or 9 feet tall as I'm five foot six and had towered over me we both stood there and our own defensible poses something told me that it was as scared as I was and then in a split second it bolted off in one direction so I bolted in the other running straight through the woods back to my house when I got to the edge of my guard I turned around and stared into the woods I didn't hear a thing no birds or frogs even not even a cricket looking back on it if that thing really wanted to kill me or hurt me he would have done it with ease there's no telling how long had been following me so close before I decided to turn around I was kind of mad at myself because if this thing did want to hurt me I could have tried talking to it but I was too scared I promised myself the next time I wouldn't just run away like a wuss [Music] number 10 humanoid encounter in Colorado submitted by Jared I live in Estes Park Colorado normally my family and I go camping out in the middle of nowhere because we're literally so close to the mountains but after this I'm begging my parents to get out of here move to the city after what happened that dreaded night I just want to be on the opposite side of the world now it was around a week ago when my dad said we were going camping I was really looking forward to it I'm an outdoors person I love going into the wilderness I like seeing things that maybe other people hadn't seen before when we arrived to the middle of nowhere I suddenly felt uneasy it wasn't a feeling of being watched no this was more like nausea like I needed to throw up eventually it went away and by the time we were setting up our tents I felt normal fast forward to the next day I remember waking up around 4:00 a.m. in the morning and I remember getting the same feeling again but 10 times stronger I had no other choice but to step outside for some fresh air I regret that because as soon as I got out of my tent I saw something terrifying it was a creature crawling on all fours in humanoid shape with skin that appeared to be melted and a deformed head and even though it was hunched down it was taller than I was when I saw it I began praying internally hoping that this thing had one saw me I slowly stepped back into my tent I just went quiet for the rest of the night until a few hours later it was dawn and everyone else was getting up luckily the rest of the day went on normally until nighttime my dad and I were outside around the campfire we were staying up especially late that night it must have been 2 in the morning then when all of a sudden we hear a screech so terrible and demonic sounding we honestly thought it was going to make us death and instantly what came to mind was that thing I saw the other day so I told my dad to pack that we had to leave unfortunately he didn't seem as worried as I was so we didn't leave until the next day it was a long and tear a fiying day for me but finally we packed everything up and left before we drove away I was looking through the vehicle window when I saw the thing again its eyes were enormous and lifeless they were staring through me feeling me with shock and dread that dirty raggedy skin made it look worse but we drove right past it and away we got home and my family were watching a movie and when we finally went to bed that night I felt the same dang feeling again for what seemed like ages it seemed to never go away I just lay in bed unable to sleep eventually I admitted defeat so I got out of bed and went downstairs to grab a glass of milk and some Oreos to calm myself all of a sudden I hear that same screech again from when we were camping in pure shock I grabbed a knife and ran to my bedroom I stayed away from the windows unlocked everything up but only moments later just outside my window I heard what sounded like large centipedes crawling over the walls if this was the same thing as before I had no earthly idea as to how it could be making those sounds it wasn't until sunup that those sounds finally went away right now I'm typing the story out at my aunt's house in Denver and I think I'll be staying here permanently if I could have it my way I don't think I'd ever go back number 11 no more troll encounter submitted by Jasmine R this story is not my own it came from my mom's friend in Mexico any sort of Latino would be familiar with the term doing de which means no more troll I personally never seen one myself but after hearing this story I definitely don't want to my mom's friend used to live in this little town called machalek in Mexico there was this huge house the corner of the street they called it the castle house this castle house was abandoned for many years one of her friends mom had the key to the house because she was related to the man who had owned it one day out of curiosity they decided to steal the key and sneak into the castle house they opened the door and stepped inside now I need to say that while she was recalling the story to me I could visibly see the she had goosebumps all over her arms anyway as they were walking around exploring the house they hear noise and instantly turn towards it we see what looks like a human with only half a foot in height they screamed in startled the little creature so the creature screamed as well high-pitched and louder it terrified them it started running really fast around the room their eyes followed this gnome has it made at least three laps around the room until they didn't see it anymore the creature had simply vanished before their eyes after processing what had just happened they ran out of the house and never went back they were too scared to even walk by the house to go to school anymore if they had stolen the key and broken in they never told anyone they thought that no one would believe them anyway if they did she says that she will never forget the terrified face on that small creature and she'll never forget the screams of pure horror that came from her her friends and the Duende [Applause] number twelve woodcutting and windigos submitted by john this event occurred during April of 2016 it was on a plot of hunting land outside Richland Center Wisconsin Richland Center is a small town in the hilly terrain of Southwest Wisconsin it has a population of about five thousand people the plot of land set around fifteen miles outside the city it's away from people so that we don't have people snooping around or breaking into the cabin since it could be easy to find the land was owned by my father's friend James and was barely large exactly how many acres I don't know but it was definitely a large plot of land the cabin is about 20 yards into a small patch of woods just off the road beyond the cabin there is a corn field that sets in the curve of the u-shaped woods we use for hunting there's a ridge that runs across the center of the field sloping down on each side at a steep angle at the midpoint between the woods in the cabin is a little island of trees it's only about 20 feet in diameter with a deer stand in it this location will be important later now that the background is out of the way I can begin my story of my encounter with what I believe was a win to go me my father James and another of my father's friends who we'll call George and George's son Eliot all went up to the cabin to cut firewood for the hunting season the first day was filled with work in the chilly air of a long winter we cut down two very large old oak trees on the left side of the U and we ended up losing a few large logs in a ravine after they rolled away from us so the work overall took us up until sunset after all we hadn't arrived at the cabin at all until around 1:00 in the afternoon Elliot and I were down in the ravine carrying the logs of the steep side and then up the hill to the ATV where we loaded them into a trailer the total of five logs had to be brought up each of which weighed nearly 70 pounds apiece after they were all loaded into the trailer George drove across the Kornfield Elliot and I made our way across the field on foot the Sun was just above the hills on the horizon casting our shadows over the treetops to our left I scanned the treeline for deer as we walked and saw nothing and then I noticed something strange the woods weren't alive no squirrels no woodpeckers no crows cawing as they always did the wind was even gone and the trees stopped swaying in all my life I've never seen anything like this I mentioned its well yet but he didn't seem to care at this point we were about to pass the island of trees when I noticed movement out of the corner of my eye hoping it was a deer I turned my head to see nothing but some barren bushes rustling slightly I scanned them hard as I continued towards the cabin but I still saw nothing but I felt as if there was definitely something out there something watching as I turned away I felt like something was staring a hole in the back of my head so strongly that I had to itch that spot we finished the night by watching some Jerry Springer and Maury Povich on the television while eating frozen pizza I fell asleep later on the pleather couch instead of my bunk the couch set adjacent to the window that looked out over the field the blinds were only halfway open and soon I woke up with the urge to pee I looked outside and at first I saw nothing but as I studied the thick briars across the way I saw something among them the moon casted long thin shadows over what I made out as a face whatever this thing was it was excellently camouflaged in the light of the full moon it had pale grayish white skin and it was squatting in the brush like a frog legs cocked out and rear near the ground with its spindly arms on the ground in front of it I watched it for a few minutes and that whole time I didn't feel the burning of eyes on me it was like the thing was taking in the environment watching everything except the inside of the cabin after a few minutes of being dumbfounded about what this was I remembered that I needed a pee and dang all that beer I had drank I opted for an empty water bottle instead fiddling around and still trying to watch the thing in the brush wasn't a good combination I wound up looking away for a moment and when I finally looked back the thing was gone and my heart began to pound when I realized that I couldn't locate the creature I finished my business then forced myself to lay back down on the couch burying my face in the cushions before I knew it I was awake in the morning to the smell of bacon frying nothing in my mind from the night before I got up and ate my breakfast and we all prepared for another hard day of work then we left around 9:00 a.m. and headed back into the woods to cut down another handful of trees we had marked we cut up two on the east side of the forest then we marched directly across the field to the location of the final tree we had planned to cut up we reached the tree line and were overwhelmed with the smell of iron it took only seconds for us to notice the bright red pool that had melted away an area of snow there before us was a disemboweled coyote impelled through its neck on a low-hanging tree branch it's inside sitting on the ground what James shouted that man is a freak he continued my dad turned to him and asked what do you mean who did this James then explained how the man who owned the land the borders the north end of the woods is disputing where the border actually is the man had become much more upset as of late since we had just set up a new hunting stand on his supposed land as we went deeper into the woods we found more eviscerated animals all of them hung up the same way as the first one James became increasingly more and more angry and eventually he left us to cut up the last tree he took one of the ATVs up to the neighbors Elliot and I weren't happy about that because without the ATV that meant we would have to haul the logs by ourselves on multiple trips or we'd have to pull the trailer by hand we opted to run a utility rope around the trailer and wrap the ends around our waist to pull it we were basically sled dogs at that point we made it to the cabin in around an hour but it felt like we just played an entire football game twice over James was back and he was outside talking to my dad and George they all seemed a little upset but as I watched Elliot didn't appear angry he appeared shaken now he was saying that the man wasn't even home but that he found more and more animals eviscerated the same way even some of the man's pets that he had seen before there were dogs horses goats strewn everywhere across the man's property we were all now sure that this wasn't the work of the man we need to call the police James shouted there's got to be a bear wolves a rabid dog something that needs to be put down maybe it's some psycho or deranged animal we calmed him down and began to logic it all out if it was an animal none of those animals in the woods no matter how deranged would impale them on the branches nor would they have simply been torn to shreds like that animals don't do that no matter how hungry they are or aren't not even a rabid dog could do that my dad finally made the decision to call the police and stepped away from us to do it I couldn't gather anything from listening as it was mostly my dad acknowledging the dispatcher with an uh-huh and the occasional okay finally he hung up and came over to explain what the dispatcher said the on-duty officers are tied up right now dealing with an overturned semi and that they're trying to get an off-duty to come out here but it may take up to an hour for anyone to get here at all they suggested that we lock up tied and head into town then we can call back and see if they got an officer out there yet everyone agreed and headed inside to gather a few things for the night I loaded my bag with the change of clothes and toiletries and was the first one out as I waited for the others I realized that all this nervous waiting made me need to pee I walked over to the fence that ran behind the trailer and I began to relieve myself just as I finished my business I looked up and froze my blood ran ice-cold and my knees felt like they were going to give out my insides felt like jello because staring at me from over the top of the fence was something I wish I'd never seen I could see the upper half of a face the skin was a gray wide saggy and its features were sunk in and the worst part were the eyes they weren't black pits as I've heard others describe similar things but they're instead beep set and a glossy black that I could see myself in I could not bring myself to move it felt like an eternity before the others came out of the trailer James called out to me since I was just standing at the fence not moving hey man we need to hurry and then his voice crackled off as he saw the thing to its eyes turned their attention from me to James and the invisible hole that had on me broke as I fell onto my butt and began to scramble away from the fence I was just screaming trying to tell everyone that we had to go now but all that came out of my mouth was some sort of scream James open the tailgate on his truck and grabbed one of the axes we had from splitting the logs get he yelled at it shaking the axe in the air above his head as if he was trying to scare a dog away but this thing simply stared back at him for a few seconds then suddenly as if to challenge him back it let out this ear-splitting screech it sounded like he mixed between someone's skinning a live cat and the sound of the predator from those movies makes then it lowered and disappeared beneath the fence again I'd made my way to James feet and basically was crying and snotting all over his boots everyone had heard the commotion and ran outside they had heard the screech as well they were all questioning what happened instead of standing around a wasting time explaining James told everyone to get back in their vehicles and drive I jumped in the driver's seat of my truck without hesitation and my father got in next to me we calmly exited the property not bothering to close the gate behind us but as the dirt soon turned to pavement there was nothing calm about our driving we hauled tail out of there quickly approaching a stop sign at the end of the road the land set next to now please understand that I have no idea what possessed me to do what I'm about to tell you I was a fairly new driver at this point and I place blame on the fact that I was very particular about following the rolls so instead of driving straight through that stop sign that said in the middle of nowhere as James did I slowed to a stop and checked for traffic then as I went to step on the accelerator I looked in my rearview mirror they had been read from my brake lights was that creature and a dead sprint for my truck as I stopped on the gas I couldn't tell if the screech I heard came from the creature or my tires my dad next to me would later ask why I did that and I tried to lie to him telling him that I didn't want the deer to hit the truck that were coming but there were no deer there and my dad knew I was lying especially when I was screaming like a little girl the entire rest of the way we made the usual 20-minute Drive in about 10 do to me traveling down the backcountry roads at speeds in excess of 90 miles an hour we decided that we would meet at a local bar and we would wait until we got a hold of a police officer or were kicked out of the place soon there was an officer sent up to investigate the land the next morning and not much came of it it was ruled that the animal carcasses were due to our rabid coyote despite the fact that coyotes can't pick up and impale other coyotes and animals on tree branches I honestly couldn't believe the bullcrap excuse I was hearing James and I have kept what we saw behind that fence to ourselves since that night I refused to talk about it with my dad and whenever he brings it up I just tell him that we don't know we returned to that land later that year for the annual deer hunt and made it through two weeks without incident however I fear that the 2017 hunt might not go the same way I pray to God that I never see another Windigo creature or thing like that again for as long as I live number thirteen the staring creature submitted by Ryan one little summer day I was in my house it was dark and maybe midnight on Saturday I just gotten back from Wisconsin it was almost complete silence save for a few cars going by I was getting ready for bed but out of nowhere I hear something walking around the house outside I figured that maybe it was my neighbor because I live in a town home anyway I listened as it got closer to the garage I can tell because I'm on top of the garage in my room I look outside and right across the street walking on the road was this long legged creature it would walk from house to house stand tall then peek into people's windows everyone's windows were closed and blocked with curtains though but it was still so creepy to see something like that trying to spy on people well my bedroom window wasn't blocked with curtains so right away I was terrified I was trying to convince myself that was seeing things that it wasn't real even still I went around my house locking each and every window and door making sure everything was shut then I went back to my room and locked that door then I tried to sleep and it took me several hours but finally sleep came the next morning I wake up and I can see kids riding their bikes like any other day so I decide to go outside after I brush my teeth and ate breakfast when I went outside I saw blood on one of the trees I was scared and I remembered hearing the tree shake it sounded like bark getting scraped off a tree I wondered if it was from that creature I wondered if that was even real I try not to think about it but I never could stop it was the most terrifying thing that had ever happened to me and I'm still curious if when I finally fell asleep that night if it looked up into my window and watched me number fourteen the werewolf of Kentucky submitted by Cooper it was a Friday evening and I was out biking I had my dog with me Lucy she's 120 pounds and has blond fur with the dark snout I loved that dog we were on a bike trail and I always carry a gun in my bike pouch just in case it's a revolver and it was easy to aim suddenly my bike flipped over and I was on my butt in pain on the middle of the bike trail as I flipped over my gun had flown out of the pouch and was now laying by a tree nearby my dog was close behind me and sniffing my face after I fell I got up and looked at what made my bike flip over it was dark and hard to see but something was in my tire I pulled it out and it was wet it felt like fur so I turned on my flashlight to get a better look and I nearly threw up what I was holding in my hand was a bloody deers foot it didn't take long for my dog to find the rest of a deer it was within the trees only a few yards away and it looked like someone shredded it and some sort of shredder the thing smelled like death and urine I threw up got back on my bike and picked up my gun then I rode off ready to go back home but seconds later there was a massively loud pounding coming from behind me something was tearing up the trail approaching fast I pedaled harder praying that I didn't flip again on some rock soon the sounds were right behind me and stupidly I turned to get a look at it it looked to be some sort of wolf but this thing was bigger than me on my bike this wasn't some animal I'd ever seen before I thought I was going to die I wrote faster and faster denying the rest of my exhausted body begged for suddenly my tire in the back popped and I flipped over again onto the road this time when I landed the moment I could in tears I scrambled to get my gun I took it and was ready for whatever was about to happen I looked at my tire there was a huge gash in it like a claw mark but the thing that had been behind me it was gone then suddenly the woods were filled with a howling scream that was coming from the nearby forest I ran the rest of the trail as fast as I could my car was ten minutes away that ten minutes was the longest ten minutes of my life when I reached my car I got in let lucy jump in the back seat then floored it out of there never looking back and ever since then have not been back on those trails and number 15 the cycle submitted by ron let me begin by saying this i'm nowhere near a good man my life has been full of terrible things that i'm not proud of I can't say I deserve a quiet peaceful lie but I don't think I deserve what I was given in place of that it seems like a normal life a beautiful girlfriend a loving family and a wonderful dog but people looking from the outside in don't know what else decided to enter my life let's go back many years ago to the fifth grade that was a troubled child always fighting always doing what I wasn't supposed to I always had my best friend by my side though through thick and thin one night we decided to have a sleepover at my house we were playing video games to the early morning hours my friend passed out way before I did which was no shock to me he always seemed to fall asleep first I just kept playing the games that eventually fell asleep - with the game still running in the background I woke up to my friend frantically yanking on my shirt nearly squawking about the window of course being the courageous kid I was I went over to the window and looked there was nothing but the Sun rising above the trees I walked back over to him calling him a few choice words for waking me then walked back over to the couch where I was sleeping as soon as I went to lay back down my heart sank because I heard a terrible noise a light tapping on the window a tap tap tap the name long screech of the glass as a long white finger ran down the window we both stood still in shock until he broke and ran up the stairs to where my parents were and proceeded to tell them what happened they simply dismissed it as a childish scheme or nightmare well fast forward to my junior year of high school nothing had changed bad behavior police involved horrible things done but that's not the worst of it that thing the thing from all those years ago showed back up after all that time there would be a tap on my window here and there then something more you see I got a dog and that every night at 10 p.m. sharp I would take her out to do her business but on one of these nights she simply wouldn't budge I tried to get her out of the door but she began growling and snarling at the big oak tree in the yard here standing on end and teeth bared she looked to be ready to defend herself now this wasn't a little rat dog this was my Neela a 60 pound female German Shepherd I've never seen her so vicious it was unsettling to see in the most confident voice I could muster I called out who's there as if on cue the same hand from that night in fifth grade reached out around the trunk the same long white fingers and pale patchy skin my dog bolted back inside while I stood there staring for five or so minutes I watched the hand then it retracted and was gone fast-forward a few weeks and I was going to my car I had begun dating this girl and she decided sunday was our date night as I walked out I felt I was being watched then the feeling stopped and I heard a twig snap and my heart dropped as I turned to see it standing there in fool finally completely revealing itself it was massive but I don't mean muscular I mean tall very very tall I'd say seven and a half feet this thing was bony ribs showing and it was thin its skin seemed paler than ever almost as if it was rotting from its body I wanted to cry I wanted to run I wanted to just die it filled me with such dread to see this a car alarm went off nearby and it drew my attention and that's all it took I look back and the creature was gone fast forward to present day it's been four years since then things only got worse after senior year I went downhill even more and the thing showed up more and more - it showed up the same time same place every Sunday night at ten it would be by the tree it terrified me no matter what I did it would always be there I hadn't been a scared person in my life until I saw that thing that thing taught me true fear one night it got worse than I thought it could the thing would stay outside letting out blood curling howls tapping on my windows and worst of all watching me through my house windows no matter where I went it was like I couldn't get rid of it that it won't go anywhere it feels like it's my punishment for things I've done in my life I don't know what it really is but I've called it by one name in one name only Karma life's way of saying you won't get off easily suffer for what you did for who you are it won't leave me and now it seems Sunday isn't the only night it shows it's there no matter what and I think I deserve it because what goes around comes around so did you get scared did the idea of strange creatures staring into your windows at night creeped you out the world is so big and so much of it inside and out is still a mystery there are things out there things you don't want to run into if it's dark so if you subscribe to this
