Monster in the Tree
by Darqlink

My story is particularity creepy because I am a cryptozoologist and paranormal investigator, and I had no idea what the hell the thing I saw was.

My brother and I had gone camping in a rather deserted park. We were literally the only ones there, except for the staff. We had a custom of staying up late reading ghost stories from books like Alfred Hitchcock and the like. I had just read a really creepy vampire story called "The Window". We finally decided to go to sleep, despite being totally freaked out by the story.

I was talking to him about something when I heard a weird sound. I went outside to investigate (I also had to go to the bathroom), and I saw a really, really creepy figure sitting in a tree. It looked like the common description of Mothman, without the wings. It bared its teeth at me and made a sound that sounded like a cross between claws on a chalkboard and a wolf howl.

I ran back inside the tent, gasping. I told my brother what was out there, and we got the hell outta there. The thing leaped down in front of us and tried to break the windshield. We managed to shake it off and we got home safe. Oh yeah, and when we were driving home, we saw some creepy lights in the sky. We'd had some hairy encounters with ghosts, wendigos, aliens and other creepies, but they were all nothing compared to this.
