Mothman
Attack
by Dylan
This happened to me and
my friend Ryan just a few nights ago. I was at Ryan's house, and it was maybe
10:00 at night. We came outside and began walking around in a chain of very
large, grass-filled fields. I wanted to scare my friend, since he had really
got me good a few hours ago and was still making fun of how frightened I was,
so I ran away into the darkness across the field and into a little grove backed
up to someone's back fence. I just entered maybe a few feet in, so I could still
see my friend and planned on jumping out and chasing him. I knew it would work.
But then, just when I was about to do it, something ran behind me. For a split
second, I thought it was my friend, but I knew it wasn't since I could see him
still wandering the field. I ran out and told him what happened. He thought
I was just trying to scare him.
I finally got him to believe me, and we started to the grove, and again I could
hear it walking inside. It was definitely not something native to the area,
because it ran out of the grove and into the dark, and even though we didn't
get a good look at it, we could tell it was tall. I thought it might have even
been a deer, but that all changed with what happened next.
He and I decided to camp out and I would spend the night. We set up the tent just outside his backyard in the field. Right when we were about to actually go to sleep, his motion detector went off back at his house, causing the flood light to activate. We both knew that this light was only activated by tall trespassers, since it was aimed high, so this couldn't be a regular animal. We started walking toward his house and saw something start to run away from us. My first instinct was to chase whatever it was, so I began to run after it, and Ryan followed behind me. Whatever this thing was, it was fast. And the worst thing was, when my friend and I stopped because we didn't think we were actually chasing it anymore, it started after US!
We both ended up running past our tent, and back into the now hazy field. We stopped running and caught our breath. My heart was racing like a ticking bomb ready to burst. And just then, Ryan and I both saw it. It was standing on a neighbor's roof, just looking at us. We saw its eyes, red and glowing, the light becoming more and more intense. Ryan and I both fell to the ground in horror, and for even further amazement, the tall figure swooped down before us, no more than 10 yards ahead, and we both could hear it's voice in our heads, a screamed whisper of things I could never in my life describe, or could have ever imagined.
And then, in a flash of crimson lightning, it took off into the sky, with a final, horrible haunting howl, and it was gone. Ryan and I awoke several hours later in his backyard, dazed with lack of recollection for what had actually took place in that field, and we both headed back to the spot where it had spoken to us. Where it had stood, was a V, or maybe distorted Y shape, burned into the grass.
