Cat... Human... Thing
by Ryan
This happened to me a few years ago while I was visiting my girlfriend Catherine at her school in central Indiana. She went to a small private Christian college with only about 800 students. I live in northeast Ohio, so it took me about five hours to get there. I got to her school at around 5 or 6 p.m. that night. We hung out with some of her friends, went out to eat, and then at about 10 p.m. that night we went back to her dorm.
We noticed that not a lot of people were around so we decided to take a walk in the field in back of and surrounding her building. To put this in perspective, the field was about 100 yards by about 300 yards with long wild grass growing all around it that was approximately two feet tall. Anyway, we started walking until we reached the taller grass.
All of a sudden I heard something coming from the tall grass. It was very faint at first, but it sounded like somebody crying. I had my car keys with me, which had a small key chain flashlight on it, so I decided to look around. I walked about 20 feet into the tall grass and I still didn't see anything. I walked a little further with Catherine about 10 feet behind me, and what I saw next will be burnt into my mind for the rest of my life.
At first glance it looked exactly like an overgrown, all-black house cat. I walked a little closer to it (thinking it was hurt) and illuminated it with my flashlight. By now I could definitely hear it crying and it sounded human. I noticed that it had its face dug into the ground, which muffled the cries, but as i was looking at it, it picked its head up and I saw that it wasn't a cat... but a human. When it looked at me, my heart sank into my stomach. The thing that I thought was a cat turned out to be some kind of humanoid-looking thing with a black cloak and a very small body. It had a look on its face that can only be described as sadness and rage. The feeling that came over me was terrible. It had a somewhat normal-looking face, but I knew from the feelings that came over me and its really small body that it was not human. When it looked at me, its face was covered in tears and it had really dark, almost black eyes with bags under them.
I looked at it for a second longer and then said something along the lines of, "Ok, Catherine, lets go." I then turned around and grabbed Catherine's hand and walked out of the tall grass, but turned around to get one last look at this thing and found nothing. I then started to walk faster and faster, and when we got back near the building, I asked Catherine if she saw that thing and she said she did, but I could tell she wasn't nearly as affected by it as I was. Needless to say, I never went back near that tall grass.
