White Monster from the Fifth Dimension

The White Monster

We drove for a mile or two down the road without saying one word to each another. Our eyes were focused intently out the windshield. Then we saw, crouched by the right side of the road, this "thing." It looked like a Bigfoot... only different. It looked into our headlights, stood up and ran in front of the car, across the road and into a large grove of trees. Mike hit the brakes as we both screamed.

"What in God's name was that?" he yelled.

"How the hell should I know," I yelled back. "Get the hell outta here!"

Mike jammed on the accelerator and off we sped at about 80 mph. We didn't say a word all the way home.

What Was It?

The next day we talked about the entire night before: that strange flash of light, the bump, the feeling for horror and that "thing" we saw. I can only describe it this way: When it stood, I'd say it was about 6 feet tall, ape looking but human looking at the same time. It was extremely thin and covered in scraggly white or gray hair. It had an oversized mouth with lots of teeth. And its eyes... God, its eyes looked human and frightened. I think we may have scared it as much as it scared us. I don't know.

Mike and I didn't talk much after that night. But he did tell me that he began to "see things" every now and then. I admitted that the same was happening to me too. We both seemed to see, for lack of better terms, "monsters"... "things" - I don't know, just things that shouldn't be here. I don't know what the heck we drove through that night or what it did to us, but it definitely did something.

My friend Mike passed away last year. He died in a car accident. Another person who saw the accident said it looked like he "swerved to avoid something."

I know this all sounds crazy, and this is the first time I've ever told this story. Something did happen to us that night. A vortex, a time hole, a doorway into or out of a different dimension... I don't know. Whatever it was, both Mike and I began to see things after that night, and they're not ghosts.

What the heck happened to us that night 18 years ago... and why has it never left us?

Poll: Is it possible "Bigfoot" comes from another dimension?
