First of all this is my first post here, but I have been lurking for a while, very informative forum you all have here, cool stuff
So now I will tell you about something that has been bothering for the Past 2 years, I just had a dream with the creature I saw 2 yers ago and woke up
,which eventually led me here
I live in Northern Virginia ,and while there aren't too many forests here ,there is one close by and a small portion of it runs behind my house, I
used to take walks there frequently because to me it was relaxing,nothing strange ever really happened til one when i was walking I saw what appeared
to be a dog or a cat sniffing around, but then I guess I made it alert ,and stood up ,now i will try to describe this animal as best as i can , It was
about the size of small cat but it was VERY muscular in build, especially the upper body it had a very large chest and large but short arms, it placed
its hands in between its also muscular legs which were very short, Sort of looked like a gorillas chest with short rabbits legs. Its head was very
flat and alost looked like it was an extension of the chest, there was no defined head shape at all, it had very small ear, you could barely notice
them , Overalll it had short hair but on its face it looked to have somewhat of a mane like a bobcat would have,something really strange that I
noticed is that it had no sign of a tail at all,not even a little stump where it might have been cut off or anything( of course I didnt get close
enough to get a really good lok though)so that is what makes me think it is not a feline... the Scariest thing about this creature was the way it
looked at me,its eyes were very definied pitch black and it stood motionless until I moved step after which it took off at a high speed, and it ran
in a really strange way, it seemed to push with its forearms all the way back with its hind legs in the air, it almost looked like a little gorilla or
a cheetah running. very strange, i have been in the woods many times after that wishing to see it again ,but i have never encountered it. If only
I had had a camera on me...so what do you all think of it,possibly a mutated wildcat with no tail? or are there any other creatures native around here
that might resemble my description??
Now on to Story 2 , One night (6/6/06 actuallly
)I was sitting downstairs around 2 am when I heard the most evil scream of agony I hd ever heard in
my life, it was the stereotypical sound of a woman being stabbed to death,I was of course scared and thought one of my neighbors had just been
murdered
it stopped for about minute and I just brushed it off ,then I heard the same loud scream again but this time even louder, and I was inside
my house .so i quietly went outside and after a while of waiting quietly outside the scream happened again and now I could hear how loud it actually
was!!and to my surprise it came from the treetops,but I could see nothing there.It continued a few more times until I went to get my parents so that
they could hear it too, as we were walking down the stairs we heard it a couple more times vaguely but when we got outside it never made a noise
again, i assume whatever it was either left or was startled by the sound fo my parent. after some research of sounds of local animals the closest one
I could find was a certain howl of a fox and to a lesser degree a great blue heron, but this sound was TOO human, the vocal chords sounded just like a
screaming woman being murdered, there is no other way I can describe it. i've heard herons around here and while they do make weird noises ,they
were never as human as this, and I dont think foxes hang in treetops
... any ideas on other animals that make very human like screaming.
Any ideas would be nice , thanks for your time. look forwrd to seeing what you all hve to say
