I have seen things before and have been able to see these things since a kid. I have seen scary demons, spirits, guardians, you name it. But I have NEVER seen anything like this thing, or felt something that only can be described as a hole, like an invading wrongness. Usually I do not fear them, even the demon ones, the ones that do not feel like they belong here.
But I just went out for a run tonight, at about 7:45 in Northfield, and guys, I am terrified. I don't know WHAT it is, I have never seen the likes of this. I proceeded past the streetlamps to this darker area. The surrounding area is all woods. It suddenly got a lot darker and I saw this... Thing? About 10 - 14 feet tall, like a hound but scaly and rotted, with something that appeared like horns on its head, but it was off in the trees so I couldn't see too much detail. I heard an odd clicking like sound, and something like a wet sigh, loud and close.
I have never felt this kind of terror before in my life. I do not believe it to be a hell hound, it seemed... Much stronger than one. I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IT IS.
Few times have I truly felt something I cannot chase off but this thing is wrong. Please any help, I don't want it hanging around. I live with a family who has a baby and this thing needs to go.
I didn't dare turn my back. I had this overwhelming feeling that if I turned my back something would happen. I maintained eye contact until I reached the streetlamps. It seemed like it wouldn't cross into light, then ran back home. Please any help on what this thing is?
There is an expression my friend and I use: where the witch walk not, nor should you. Never saw it so fitting before.
However, if what you say is true, I would still have to agree with BadJuuJuu's theory. It sounds as though you, unintentionally, found it, not the other way around. Stay out of the darkness, and be safe; that's what I would suggest.
Good luck!
