My friend and I had to take the dog out for a walk.
Okay. I'm not happy about that. It's dark outside. I don't like it. But my friend will be with me, so I don't care. Our house sits on top of a hill, our backyard slopes down a good twenty to thirty feet. A huge green garage/workshop sits there, an industrial light buzzing away.
The Beagle sniffs around before finally taking care of its' business. I'm talking with my friend, it's cold outside, I just want to go back in.
But that's when I saw it.
I will admit - it took me rather off guard.
Every muscle seized up in my body, and I could literally feel adrenaline pouring through my veins. I froze - couldn't move. My friend grabbed my arms, started shaking me, and I honestly tried to get my lips to move.
"Turn around," I wanted to scream, "Just look!"
The thing was sitting by one of our go-karts. It almost seemed to be sniffing around in the grass. It rolled its head to look at me, fluid and graceful - like a cat - and then it stretched up to what must've been part of its height. It took off to a clearing, faster than anything I'd ever seen run. Silent. So, so quiet. My ears were ringing, straining to hear sounds it produced.
I tried so, SO desperately to make my mouth move. My friend was worried I'd gone into shock. He didn't know I was looking at the thing fifty feet behind him.
It ran into the trees, disappearing into the dark. I saw its' shadow fade away, and only after it was gone did I manage to unwind the ridigness of my muscles and nearly burst into tears.
It looked rather like a dog. A nine-foot tall dog, all skin and bones. It ran on four legs, but I was certain it could run on two.
It was also pure white.
When it ran, it made absolutely no sound - and it was sitting in some pretty tall grass.
-----------------------------
This IS a true story. I just wanted to convey my emotions through this experience. Because I've honestly no idea what happened, nor what it was. It scared me, though.
My brain had been screaming at me at the time to just tell my friend to turn around. But I'd been so scared I couldn't do it.
I was the only one who saw.
I regret that now. I wished he could've seen it.
Yes, I had my Beagle with me. I thought that since this thing looked like nothing I'd ever seen, she'd react. But no. She was hurt (her back was giving her problems) and had been using the dog restroom.
I thought maybe this gave me an indicator that the thing meant no harm.
I certainly hope so.
**This did happen a while ago. Just an FYI.
