Shot Something Weird
by Lisa
I live in Saranac, Michigan and my experience took place on Tuesday the 27th of November, 2007. My husband and I were sitting in our living room watching TV when we heard a gun shot next door and then a second. We live out in the country and know our neighbor very well. Shots are common, but not that late at night.
My husband got dressed and headed over to my neighbor Bob's house to see if it was the bear that we'd seen around. When he got there, my neighbor was freaked out and explained what he saw. Bob's wife Grace had taken their two dogs out one last time before bed and their oldest dog ran toward the woods like always, but stopped dead in his tracks and cowered. Grace yelled for Bob and he ran outside with his 30-30 rifle, thinking it was the bear again.
He walked up to his dog and spoted movement from the corner of his eye. He looked up and saw a dark figure walk across his path into the woods. It was standing upright like a human and was about 6'7'', just outside the ring of light from his flood light, and Bob though it was the hunters who have been bothering us lately. So he yelled at them, saying something like, "Hey, who are you?" The figure then walked back across the path on all fours, like an animal... and it had red eyes. It was in the light this time, but Bob was transfixed on those eyes. They glowed like the end of a cigarette.
He raised his gun and put the sights of the scope on its chest, dead center mass, and noticed it had no fur. He shot once and hit it square in the chest. It didn't even flinch. He then re-racked the gun, but it misfired. This gun has never done that before, so he racked out the bullet ad racked in a new one. It misfired yet again. He looked at the bullet and it didn't even have a dent from the firing pin. He re-loaded the bullet and looked up. The figure was standing upright again, but farther back in the woods. He aimed and fired and hit it again in the chest. It didn't flinch again. It just walked off like nothing happened.
Bob fired one last time, but missed. Those were the two shots we heard. We never heard that first shot. When my husband got over there, they took a spot light into the woods. There were no tracks or any blood anywhere where Bob saw this thing. They went halfway up the track and stopped because they were too scared and the light was dying.
This wasn't the first time we'd seen eyes. About a month and a half ago, my husband saw yellow eyes outside our bathroom window. It was too dark to see a body, but there were no tracks there either. A few weeks later, he saw cherry red eyes in the woods in the back yard. They disappeared when he blinked his eyes. Ever since Tuesday, we've been pretty freaked out. I don't know what to make of a creature like the one Bob saw.
