Have you ever watched TV and seen a special about a mythical creature seen in your neighborhood?
I have now seen two specials on TV about "where wolves" or "dog men" being seen in and around the Kettle Moraine State Parks in Wisconsin. I used to spend considerable time hiking and biking on those trails. I went deep into those parks (they're huge!) and never saw any odd creatures. However I did see some huge wolves. They must be eating well. Most of the sightings and attacks happened on a trail I traveled the most, but I didn't see anything. Anyway, have you ever seen any specials about your neighborhood like this? What did you think about the eyewitness testimonies? Did you see anything that might shed some light on the stories?
Many years ago I was fishing with about five friends at night for catfish on the Rocky River in North Carolina and some animal was making a loud screeching noise. None of us could actually see it. We had a camp fire next to the water. Whatever this was it was crossing the river back and forth in a circle around us. The river isn't very wide, but the water is swift and it's Rocky.
When we finally decided to leave we had to climb a steep high embankment, and I ended up last up the hill, and I was carrying the stringer of fish. Whatever it was it came within ten feet of me and was vigorously shaking the small trees near where I was. At that time I was at a chest high rock that I needed to climb over, but I just stood there for a bit while it shook the trees while making it's loud noise because I was too scared to turn my back on it to climb up and over that rock.
There had been reports in the news around that time of several big foot sightings, and the local press had nick named it "Knobby." We had driven to Cabaras County where the sightings had occurred to go fishing. I think it might have wanted the fish I was carrying, and I really wish I had pulled one off the stringer and threw it toward it.
It was making that loud screeching noise very near us as we were leaving. The reason I ended up last was because we were fighting our way up the hill against each other and I ended up getting pulled backwards as we were all in a mad rush to leave. I was ahead of most of them but when I first tried to climb over the rock others were climbing over me and using me for leverage and I ended up getting pulled off of the rock.
I never actually saw it, but I think we encountered whatever was being reported in the media. In later years I heard recordings on TV believed to be by a big foot, and the sound was very similar to what I heard, a high pitched sound.
So, yes, it was what could be termed a mythical creature in my neighborhood.
