narrated first you have to send it to us at dark stories dawdle work now let's do this the Lear from CT flask ax falling asleep has always been a problem ever since I was young I thought what had happened back then was a dream but only just recently was I reminded that it was very real when I was 10 I would often lay awake in bed thinking about the day that I just had or the challenges the next day might bring I spent nights watching the lights dance on my bedroom wall as cars went by or glancing around my room at the few toys I had I would get lost in thoughts thinking about what kind of adventures they would get into if they had come to life like in that one movie the house I grew up in was located on the corner of the less traveled intersection one streetlight lit the four way the light was old but bright shining through my window soothingly giving my room an orange tint like a dim melody the street light would flicker every once in a while causing the collection of bugs around its foam to disperse only to return once their oddity of light came back into existence the nighttime setting was memorable comforting until that thing showed up one night after crawling out of bed from pure boredom I set on the edge of the footboard watching cars go by I counted the passing vehicles while getting lost in thought one car maybe two all night but sometimes none at all a few hours passed without a car whizzing through the intersection the light flickered and when the bulb regained power I saw it standing directly beneath it the night air went still and the noisy insects went silent the dark figure stood frozen but not in a natural way not in any way that seemed comfortable oblong limbs on a cracked and deformed body the figure was so dark it was hard to be sure if what I was looking at was a person or a shadow climbing over the end of my bed I crept over to my window never removing my gaze from the being I couldn't tell but I think it knew I was watching it it wasn't long after I reached my bedroom window that I knew something was not right the dark figure under the streetlight had moved my eyes narrowed and I focused on the abnormal being I studied it I noticed it was breathing not slowly but fast and erratically almost as if it was out of breath or as if it had just exhausted stamina sprinting a long distance its arms moved slightly up and down with every sporadic breath at this moment I realized it had moved again slightly but it was definitely not in the same position as when I had first seen it it was hard to be sure the beam was so dark under the light that it was too hard to focus on what was its torso or I continued to stare at it my eyes just above the window frame I was so focused on the strange creature in the street that I jumped when I heard a noise in my own home quickly I turned around toward my bedroom door one of my parents or maybe my brother had just gotten up to use the restroom down the hall after assessing the situation I turned my head back to the newfound problem in the road and I noticed the figure had moved again it was now obviously staring at me I knew this because I could see its eyes now I froze its eyes were small but bright they were piercing wide Sparkle so tiny they almost seemed to get lost in the black void of its body I knew for some reason that it wasn't just looking in my direction it was looking me over it was staring directly at me after a few minutes I decided I needed to leave I had to run and get someone to show to ask someone what in the world is that in the road I slowly began to stand out of the view of the window but I didn't take my eyes off the figure it was at this moment that I realized the game I was in before I made my way out of the window frame I blinked and upon opening my eyes from a single blink the figure had shifted I blinked again and it moved again that thing out there was moving any time I wasn't looking it had by now taken a full step in my direction the dark figure looked excited like it knew I'd finally figured out the horrific rules of its game it's frantic breathing grew more intense this is crazy this isn't happening is it I ask myself my heart began to pound and my breathing quickened too this is know what's happening I thought I was in disbelief of what was happening I held my breath as I stood in my bedroom shutting my eyes I thought to myself I'll count to five it must be a dream after all one-mississippi two-mississippi three-mississippi for suddenly I heard a crunch like a tree branch snapping I opened my eyes the figure was no longer at the streetlight I was overwhelmed with adrenaline with panic I bolted from my bed and ov under the blankets I was so scared I forgot what I just proven to myself I had to look at it I had to look before it got even closer as I shuffled the covers I heard quickly approaching footsteps they sounded unreal the steps were quickly growing louder and were hitting so hard I swear I could hear the dirt and sticks outside being thrown into the air behind it my head rose above the blankets and sure enough the footsteps stopped I stared at the window the only visible thing was the intersection lit by the light pouring down from the streetlight above although the figure wasn't in my sight I knew it was there somewhere in the dark I said in my bed staring through the window in the bedroom I didn't move I would blink once in a while and when I did I could always hear just a bit of movement I knew the longer I blinked the more distance between us the creature would cover this nightmare lasted for hours every time I was tempted to yawn I would fight the reflex fighted with every fiber of my being after what felt like an eternity the Sun rose a soft light began to wash over my neighborhood I decided to get out of the bed and to move to the window to attempt to locate the thing from the road I knew it was out there but where I slowly approached the window and was given a much broader view of my yard leading up to the intersection even though I was looking for the creature it still made me jump when I laid eyes on it once again there it was in greater detail the blood left my face hands and feet as soon as I saw how terrifying it truly was the thing was in a paused motion must have been about seven feet tall and was perched on one leg as a frozen mid-stride one of its dangly arms was open-palm Don a tree it had been passing as if it was going to use it to push off of and increase its speed the other hand was open and clawing right in my direction it was now twenty feet from my window res in the road it had been about 45 feet the creatures skin was black wrinkled the texture of dried leather other areas of its body were made up of random patches of black mangled fur it was tall and gangly and unbelievably skinny the creature looked as if it had been malnourished starving and desperate and its sights were set right on me every time I moved even slightly I noticed its breathing would intensify it was excited as if any moment I would turn and lose eye contact with it and it could continue its hunt its rampage towards me I remembered its piercing eyes and decided to look at them in the small glimpse of daylight I now had as I lifted my gaze towards its head the street lights suddenly flickered the sunrise was causing the light sensor to diminish the power to the bulb and it was shutting off I was tired and not thinking when I flashed my eyes to the light which I noticed had just went out my eyes hit the streetlight the light went out and I then heard of long growling coming from that creature the noise it emitted was low and Scratchy and had sent shivers down my spine I quickly relocated my eyes back toward the creature and it was gone I didn't move for quite some time the creature had vanished but the last time that happened it had covered nearly 25 feet in a matter of seconds so my guard was up I scanned the yard intensely I was shaking I could feel the cold morning breeze at my cold sweat covered body minutes had passed and still no change to the absence of the being a car passed through the intersection I hadn't even noticed if cars had passed at all since the thing appeared I still couldn't find it I was unsure that the thing had vanished at all then there was a beep beep beeping I jumped and shot my head around so as to evaluate the sudden noise in my room it was just my alarm I threw my head back toward the window there was still no sign of it had the creature finally disappeared was it unable to be in the daylight it vanished as the street light went out so it must be gone maybe it can only pound pound there was a knocking at my door I gasped turn off your alarm it's annoying come on dude and was just my brother I sighed with relief and mouth then almost silent yeah sorry knowing that someone else was within reach I felt that I could take my eyes off the yard so I turned to silence my alarm I felt uneasy I felt alone and unsure I sat in bed and covered myself attempting to regain composure the day went by but many questions clouded my head was I going to see it again could anyone else see it I told my brother what happened and he just chuckled at me same reaction from my parents too their conclusion was that I had a vivid imagination so no more scary movies right have more nightmares this was my situation to handle on my own to my dismay it was under the streetlight multiple times after that night sometimes it didn't show but that didn't mean I was just going to bed like nothing happened I mean there was no instruction manual to this thing all I knew was I had to stare at it blink sparingly and under no circumstances not off I made that mistake once and it nearly cost me my life after a few nights of this I had a good system going I would blink about 20 times per hour so by Sunrise it would only have made it a few steps which at that point was only the beginning of the lawn the system worked so well that I became bored boredom led to drowsiness one night I repeated what I'd done most every night for a couple of weeks I didn't even remember shutting my eyes though I only recall jumping awake to the sound of the screen bursting off the window my eyes met the creature as it was now frozen in place one foot on the bottom of my window and a hand at either side of it as if it were ready to launch itself at me it's breathing changed from fast and frantic to slow inhales and exhales common like it was sure it would finally get to me huge gnarled teeth and unblinking white eyes had expressed anger and yearning I stared for the remaining hours and once that sunrise hit it vanished once again this nightmare lasted about a month and then it just stopped showing up entirely I stayed awake as much as possible the next year after that until I slowly began to gain a normal life back five years past than 10 now I'm 32 sitting at my desk writing this post at about 6:30 a.m. with a cold cup of tea to keep me company I'm submitting this experience everywhere I can in an attempt to reach out to someone who may have been this thing I need to know if others are seeing what I'm seeing and if they have any answers for me I'm asking because I think it's back last night it managed to climb up four stories to my apartments balcony I accidentally spotted it on my way back from the kitchen with a hot cup of tea it was only just getting its other leg over the railing outside the sliding door that freaking look on its face it almost had me you know what this is comment below because I don't think I can do this again possible creatures docking from Starchaser underscore 13 it was late summer and I was around five or six it was nighttime I had decided to go behind my old home which I'd lived in for basically my entire life until just recently and I saw it then the biggest canine you could imagine its fur was silvery brownish and it seemed to stand around five feet as it walked on all fours it was about five feet tall the most notable thing about it for its eyes which reflected yellow in the moonlight it reminded me of a wolf but I didn't think we had wolves out here I'd never seen one in real life mind you there wasn't a lot of light in the backyard at the time this wolf had a stench to it to a disgusting tone of decay that invaded my senses as a jest walked by me when I looked closer I noticed that the wolf had no tail I kid you not it looked like it had never had a tail at any point I'd ran back to my mom who's outside I pulled her by the hand to show her but when we returned to the back of the house it was gone there were no traces of its footsteps either It was as if I had pretended the whole thing she thought I just had a wild imagination since I was a young child turns out this would not be my only encounter with this bizarre creature after I turned 13 I came across a single bare human footprint this was much further away from the house the same house I mentioned before plus it was in the middle of freshly fallen snow the footprint was so large even my mom was thinking it must have been a Bigfoot or the world's tallest men had walked by barefoot in the snow I remember looking at her square in the eyes and telling her this isn't Bigfoot mom it's not human either it's something worse I pointed back at the track calling attention to a detail she had missed see I said there's only one single footprint and it's not followed or surrounded by any others at all I said this in a serious tone with a little bit of my fear leaking out underneath she again thought I was being imaginative I was older sure but I was still just a teenager a year later I woke up in the middle of the night needing to use the bathroom when I walked into the restroom the window was open and this was normal for us because it was mid summer and it was a good way to make the room smell a bit better when I walked in i heard male voices voices that sounded like gibberish almost like they were just noises to create sounds that only mimic the way humans talk then I realized that these voices sounded monotone like something passively mimicking a human conversation and then I heard it a crunching sound followed by another and another these heavy footsteps got closer and closer I need to say something about the land and that's that there are trees separating all the different properties from each other and beginning across the road there is around 200 square miles of thick State game land those footsteps were as heavy as a bear but with the footsteps the voices got closer to as whatever it was was beginning to draw nearer to me I forgot about using the bathroom instead I was doing my best not to run away so that I could listen to this thing then all at once the sounds go quiet I could hear the faintest breathing of the thing from about 20 feet away that's how quiet it was it knew I was there perhaps it had heard my heavy breathing first I then ran silently to my room to grab my hatchet and a serrated knife that I had gotten for Christmas I stayed up all night at my bedroom window staring out scared that it would come back for me around a year later I just got home from the store it's a warm fall night as I'm walking I see what looks like a large black dog sitting right behind the car the house has a spotlight for the driveway that stays on at night this dog or whatever it may have been was staring at me dead in the eyes its eyes were exactly like the wolf's eyes that I saw a long time ago reflecting yellow well not exactly reflective but actually glowing yellow the dog was sitting in the shadow of the car as if it thought it was hiding from the light watching me that's when I noticed what it looked like it was a very emaciated figure with a super dark black color while sitting on its hind legs it wasn't like a normal dog it was sitting with its front legs off the ground now ever since I had heard those voices that night I kept my hatchet and knife by the front door I ran in ready to grab them freaking out about this creature of course my mom was putting the groceries away and when I saw this thing and when I told her what I was looking at she wouldn't listen to me and said that my imagination was running wild again I glared at her and slowly approached the area where the dog creature was my hatchet now in my hands when I made it to about seven yards away from the thing the two of us still making eye contact with one another it sped off and sanely fast toward the fenced off area in my neighbor's yard disappearing in the months that followed I intended to find a lot of game tracks around the house mainly beer and rabbit at the time I had three cats of my own who hated going out at night around this time of year it was snowing again so the tracks were in the snow and a more obvious to detect well one evening I went out to go check the mail it was around 20 minutes before full darkness so I could still see clearly enough I found these tracks that terrified me it was long and thin and had only had three towels it appeared to have been pacing back and forth in this spot for some time I often go out with my friends and their hunting trips so I'm no stranger to animal tracks I realized that these tracks were no animal that I had ever seen or maybe I had and it just wasn't a normal creature I sprinted back up the driveway of pure ice that's on an upward slope then literally dove into my house afraid that the thing that made those tracks was still close by that night I had the most heart-wrenching gut-wrenching moment it was around 2:00 a.m. and I heard this noise that sounded like a girl screaming in agonizing pain and not too long after that a man's voice one of pure agony joined her and harmonized with it I found it difficult to sleep that night luckily right after I turned 15 in May of 2019 we were able to move out of that house but that summer still somehow it turned out to be terrifying I went to a summer camp a police camp and me and some other girls in our cabin had heard the exact same screaming wailing sounds out there the other cabin at the same campsite had heard what sounded like something walking on their roof and scratching at the walls and door this happened two nights out of the five nights we were at that camp and what's even weirder maybe even creepier is that one of the girls I camp with had a nosebleed every time the screaming began maybe it was just a stress thing a little bit after that I found out that I was part Navajo and Cherokee I remembered I had heard something called ie not Lucy AI or skinwalker in Navajo I'd read about them and my world turned upside down so nowadays when I go out at night in suburban areas I'm terrified but I feel perfectly normal and fine in the whites now all I know is that I'm being stalked by something that I'm scared will see me not as its observer but as prey and that one day to me try to attack me recently at my new house I had suddenly begun smelling a scent of decay strongly and I'm afraid that that thing has come back that it knows where I've moved to I've also heard something walking around the new house outside and my door keeps opening and shutting on its own there's no draft there's nothing that can close the door like that and I've also heard something calling my name and my mother's voice on three separate occasions in fact my mother herself had heard me calling for her on three occasions something is toying with me and my family playing with our fear even at our new home I don't feel safe I feel an edge all the time I'm afraid and I'm not scared to admit it this thing is very real and it's screwing with my mind the where of the unknown things in the dark this is a real warning for those who live in central Pennsylvania this thing is fast and very much has the ability to hurt you stay safe and watch yourself in the woods blood in the snow from Ron our it was one of the worst winters we had in a couple of years along with being one of the scariest ones I'll never forget for the rest of my life it was a mid-december night and snow was coming down like someone was dumping cotton balls off the roof I was sitting in my room watching TV when a snowball flew right into my window my room is on the second floor of the house I got up to look out the window thinking it was one of my friends trying to get me to come outside I peered through the blinds only to see a dark figure standing in the backyard immediately I knew it wasn't anyone that I knew the figure was tall and lanky wearing a long dark coat but touched the ground they also had a stove top hat covering long wiry hair concerned I yelled for my dad to come and see what I was looking at I met him at the bedroom door and took him to the window to show him what I'd seen but when he got to the window the figure was gone he told me not to be silly and that I probably should go to bed now guess he thought I'd been up too late I went to head and went to sleep trusting my dad was right the next morning I looked outside and screamed my dad came running in to see what was wrong because I've never done this before he busted into my room and rushed to the window to see what I was looking at he gasped at the sight of a mutilated chicken from next door lying in our yard even stranger there were no footprints in the fresh snow just viscera and the chicken ripped open and headless for the next couple of days I saw the dark figure again each time in a different place in the yard and each morning a new mutilated chicken where the man had stood the day before but up my dad called the cops to come out and tell them what was going on knowing he'd be hard to believe my dad took pictures of the chickens each morning to show the cops the sergeant had an officer Park in our driveway undercover for the next couple of days and of course as it usually goes with these stories nothing happened the next day I was down in the living room when the door bell chimed but with all that was going on I didn't open the door I slowly walked the door and looked out the peephole first I fell back dropping to the ground and trembling that same figure was standing outside my front door even though the Sun was shining bright and reflecting off the snow I still could not see the figures dark face I just sent there trembling for hours not knowing what to do my dad came home later that evening with me still looking like a huge lump on the floor he looked at me and asked the heck are you sitting on the floor like that I told him what I'd seen so knowing what normally happens the next morning my dad set by the front door with his 12-gauge just waiting for that thing that only looks like a man to come back at 3:00 a.m. we heard a pounding on the door of course my dad had gone to bed by then but as soon as he heard that he rammed the door and he yanked it open pointing his 12-gauge and whatever was out there but it was no one but there was more blood in the snow but it wasn't from a chicken this time around what the man used was our family dog African werewolf from Jude H this happened a while back I live in yo.hannes burg South Africa and drive around to places quite a bit I often take road trips to clear my head and get out of the big city I hate the city too many people and way too busy if you haven't been to yo.hannes Burak think new york just smaller and less busy but not by a big margin but still it's our capital in South Africa on the day in question I went to a farming and mining town called clerk stop about 200 kilometers away from Yuans burg it was a nice and peaceful Drive nothing really happened that night on the way back my car started acting up misfiring and cutting out I pulled over checking the spark plugs and battery leads where I stopped was in the middle of some cornfields by the road it was pretty dark but I could still see the clouds in the night sky the moon wasn't out so it was quite beautiful I was thinking man where's my camera when I need it in the distance I can hear cattle and other farm animals roaming about wasn't really paying attention to it though I couldn't find the issue and I phoned my friend to come help me while I waited for him I started getting the sense that I wasn't alone out here in South Africa we have a lot of farm attacks where guys use military-grade jammers to jam cell service I started getting nervous looking around and looking for anyone who might be wanting to attack me from the corner of my eye I see something moving in the cornfield I think great my mom's gonna be upset you see I look after my parents and support them so if something bad happens to me it's not gonna be good I looked up my phone and still had service so I phoned my friend again asking him where he was and how long he would be telling him I don't think I'm alone and that he needs to hurry half an hour goes past with this thing stalking me and just out of reach of my eyesight but I can hear it my friend gets there at last and I managed to get my car fixed as I walk him back to his car we begin to hear snarling coming from our right we both immediately think that's a big dog as we move off I look to my right to see this shadow keeping pace with me as I speed up so does it I slowed down and its slowest - I phone my friend again and say dude punch it we need to get out of here all of a sudden I see my friend swerve narrowly missing something in the road and standing there is this massive dog looking thing towering over my car i swerve off the road and just barely miss it we pass it and I look in the mirror and see it standing there almost like it's telling me to never come back I think I broke down in its territory and it simply wanted me gone and I listened unidentified from sanh this happened to my friend in 2011 she was walking alone one night on a wooded path she was walking her dog at the time and she said it was around 8 p.m. now this wasn't unusual for my friend as she said she walked the path often in the evening she said she adored the scenery and sunset usually she brought her dog along just in case there were any creeps out late now in this particular October evening she was running late and she said that the time was close to 9:00 p.m. and this made her finish up the first path and she had the decision to turn around and go back to her car she went with that she was only walking back for about 2 minutes when she heard crunching noises behind her at first she thought nothing of it until she sensed that something was following her she said that she was on the edge of her seat so she turned around and was shocked to see that it wasn't a person that was following her it was some creature apparently 9 feet tall with pale droopy skin and eyes that were sunken in at the sight of it she almost had a heart attack and then the thing made a deafening screech which caused her to bolt right out of there the moment she made it back to her car and opened the door she heard the thing screech again she drove off as fast as her rpms would let her after that day she found a different trail to use why would you even go out after dark your eyes aren't meant to work well in the dark so it's basically suicide so just don't go out after dark guys unless you have a small star in your pocket to shine the way or else you're gonna get eaten by the boogeyman good night if you enjoyed this episode be sure to LIKE
