Well
I probably shouldnt have said anything, been laughed at before about it.
This has gone on from the time we first moved into the place ( I was four) up to present day ( I am 39 and living about 45 minutes away.) I have posted this in bits and pieces elsewhere, but I guess it cant hurt except to get laughed at again!
My first clear recollection was when I was on a walk with my grandfather and sister along the gravel road in front of our house. We found a huge footprint in the sand where something had stepped up out of the ditch, it made a clear imprint in the soft sand on the other side of the road, looked like it was going up to hill on the other side. I remember kneeling down by it, fascinated but my grandfather couldnt get us back to the house fast enough!! Another time, we had chickens, it was early morning and there was something imitating the rooster crowing, something with a very BIG set of lungs! My bedroom was on the lower floor and scaredy cat that I was, I refused to sleep there for weeks,lol. My mother looked out the window one morning when she was fixing my dad his lunch for work , saw something running across the backyard. We figure this thing came around often cause we always found the dogs huddled in the culvert,shaking, a lot of mornings. Of course there were the usual unexplained sounds, one I will NEVER forget, it was kind of a gravely voice, talking but you couldnt make it out. Very strange.
This spring had a couple of things happen when I was housesitting while my parents were in Europe. Thats when I found out the dogs I have currently werent backing down. My old westie, my daughters wolf hybrid and my sons pitbull.(dont know about the old hound cause he was at my oldest sons.) But the old shepherd cross of my parents huddled in the doghouse in terror.
The dogs went absolutely crazy one morning, this sound was so loud I even heard it from in the house. I went outside and heard it one more time. Kind of a cross between a howl and something else. Extremely loud. The entire time I was there, I took no chances, I put the dogs in the garage at night. One day I was in the chicken coop, I heard something rap on it, and thinking to myself "kids!!" cause something ran by the window kind of hunched over, I only saw it out of the corner of my eye and thought they were messing with me. I went to look around. No kids. Turns out they were all in the house watching a movie. One last thing (though I could probably go on about this forever, little incidents here and there) It was about a year ago, my two older girls wanted me to step out with them to have a smoke (them not me,lol), we went into the back yard, it smelled like sewer, the old dog was again in the dog house. I went back inside to get something, was about run over by two terrified girls when I opened the door!! The smell was bothering them so they decided to go over a different area of the yard and heard something else.
This may sound crazy, but my oldest girl claims it sounded like a monkey. Of course she could have just been paranoid about all the stories she heard. Oh, thought of one more. First, a question. How long do bear walk on their hind legs? Recently, we were on the hwy. close to here and saw something across the river by the woods, just walking, on two feet. My mind wants to think of any explaination that it was a bear. So there you go, hope you enjoyed it somewhat if only for the laugh.
