My creature sighting
I was out running late at night through this large park in southwest, Missouri. Anyway, as I was going by this patch of trees I nearly stumbled over the strangest creature I have ever seen. It was dark brown, almost black with a creme sort of mottling. Its ears were sort of long and pointed, like the gremlins in the movie, gremlins. This was close to the ground, and as I nearly tripped over it, it acted disoriented. It appeared to have been eating, or doing something on the ground. Luckily, I did not touch it. It was sickly looking and was hairless and gross and scaly. I danced around it and it snorted and gave sort of a sickly growl and chased after me. I screamed and took off. It was not very fast, and it sort of made a wet snorting noise as it scrambled at my heals. I ran harder, and leapt ahead as it was snapping at my calfs. It slowed as I got about twenty feet ahead, and I had to turn to see where it went. I felt like vomiting. It sat in the shadows of the tree line wheezing. I gave a blood curdling shriek at it and it took off into the treeline. Afterwards I wondered if that had either been a rabid opossum or racoon or dog, or if it had been a demon of some sort. Again, it was not tall, and its head probably came about a foot off the ground. Luckily it had not bit or scratched me.
Tips and Tricks
- It could be that I either encountered a chupacabra or demon. Then again, the rational part of me believes it was some sort of sick animal, like a racoon or opossum. It just did not look right. Interestingly, My friend has also encountered an animal of similar description in the same location at night.
