When I was knee high to grasshopper daddy would take me fishing on Saturdays. It was our father and son time. We would go to several different fishing holes. Some ponds but mostly Creeks because he loved Trout and wouldn’t eat a fish out of water that wasn’t running.
One Saturday daddy heard about a new Creek area. About an hours drive from home but the fishing was said to be great there. We load our poles and take off. We get there, park and we have to walk about a half hour to the spot. We catch so many fish we start catching and releasing! So many fish! With so much fun, time got away from us.
It was then late evening and getting dark. Daddy says we need to go. As we’re packing up we both stop. The feeling of the place changed. We felt something watching us. And whatever it was, it wasn’t good! We hurry. As we’re almost at a jog heading for the car we hear enormous steps behind us. We stop and turn around and that’s when we saw it!
This monster like thing was just in sight behind us on the path! It stood a good 6 1/2 – 7 feet tall maybe more. It was hunched over, it’s skin was the same color and texture resembled rough Oak tree bark, it’s limbs were extremely skinny. It’s arms, hands and fingers were way too long for it’s frame and knuckles almost dragging the ground! It’s feet and toes the same. It had a neck but acted like it didn’t work because it would turn it’s whole body looking at us.
It’s head is what I remember most. It’s face was sort of flat but the head wasn’t. It’s head had these kind of spiky things sticking out all over and it’s head wasn’t round on top like ours. The top of it’s head kind of tipped on each end but wasn’t horns. It’s eyes angled in an upwards direction and was the darkest, strangest red I’ve ever seen. Haven’t seen that color red since!
Daddy pulled me behind him and that thing got angry and started slapping it’s hands against the ground and making a very deep sound that resembled bursts of hundreds of Cicadas! Daddy dropped everything and grabbed me and we ran.
It never followed us. It could’ve easily caught us. We sped out of there so fast daddy got pulled over for speeding. We never went fishing after that and I haven’t to this day. I’ve seen so many people talk about the different cryptids and their characteristics. Skin walkers and so on but NONE match or describes what we saw. No idea what it was. Haven’t heard anyone speak of anything like it so I wanted to share this new monster with you.
