I Backed Up And That’s When It Stood Up

A listener writes “During covid about a month after our state did a complete shutdown I was getting cabin fever and being that right down the street from me is a neighborhood private beach I decided to walk to it.

Now I went out for a walk around 9:55 pm bc I could not sleep. I was a bartender out of work and I was used to being up late so I was naturally a night owl. I walked down to the beach and it was very low tide. I got all the way down to the very tall beach grass when I heard what sounded like heavy breathing coming from the side or back of me. I immediately turned around and shined my flashlight but I saw nothing. I chalked it up to hearing things bc sounds at the beach can travel. I started walking and I heard it again. I immediately thought omg is this the creature from the black lagoon gonna jump out of the water lol. Again I looked around and saw nothing but this time I was creeped out so I hightailed it out of there and went home. I told everyone about it and they said oh it must have been someone out there to which I replied I was the only one.

I did not go back there for almost two years. Fast forward to two months ago. This is when my actual encounter happened. I decided to start walking around my neighborhood and stop at the beach and walk around. By the time I made it around the entire neighborhood I ended up at the beach and it was now dark and nobody was there. I started at the far end looking for empty conch shells and started to head toward the other side that has tall thick beach grass and then a wood line behind it. It took me about ten minutes to get to the other side bc this beach has large rocks about softball size all over as well as sharp oyster beds which are very hard to walk on. Anyways I get down there and I noticed a ton of dead crabs,like the shell pulled open and the meat gone and claws laying everywhere. There was so many of them it was alarming. I was like who did this?? I started walking to the water line when I heard the grass move. I turned around and did in fact see the tall sharp beach grass moving like something was in there. I took my flashlight and shined it at the base of the grass expecting to see a cute fox or marsh rabbit bc we have so many out here. But that’s not what I saw. This is where it starts getting hard for me to talk about. My light was shining on a very long odd looking leg with fur. I then noticed the foot. The foot reminded me of a raccoons foot only larger. About the size of my fiancé’s foot and he’s a 10.5 shoe size. Immediately I thought is this an alien what am I looking at???!

My mind Instantly went to canine. It looked like a dogs leg but not quite. I then started moving my flashlight up and I could see a figure but couldn’t make it out bc the grass is so beyond thick but the light did catch eyes. This creature was about 4-5 ft high crouching down. The eyes shown yellow. Bright yellow. I backed up bc I didn’t know what I was looking at. When I backed up is when it stood up. When it stood up it made the strangest sound, the only way I can describe it is when you hear a chiropractor crack someone’s back. Only this was loud and bigger. I now am looking at this things face and the only thing I can tell you is it looked like a movie werewolf. I now could hear it breathing loudly like it was smelling me and it pulled it’s lips back and that’s when I completely lost it. At this point I had no control of my body and I was feeling things I have never felt nor do I ever want to feel again. This story gets much more crazier and I’m truly lucky to be alive. If you would like to hear it please let me know bc I still have a lot of questions myself and I’m hoping coming forward helps me.

I have been very hesitant to tell my story and I have not told anyone yet. This has somewhat ruined my life or at least set it back. I had to quit my job bc I could no longer deal with getting home late and having to walk into my house at 2-3am. I had to go to the doctors for panic attacks and was put on medication. I have no one to talk to and cannot tell a therapist about this bc I’m sure they would think I was crazy but I am not. The only reason I’m somewhat willing to speak about it is with the hopes it will help me and maybe help someone else. Thank you for all that you do. Your show has brought me great comfort. I would like to remain anonymous for the time being.

    I have seen enough things that my upbringing told me “doesn’t exist”….For a while I thought reports of Dogman must have been mistaken reports of Sasquatch as I’ve never had a confirmed visual of a Dogman (nor do I want to)…But if you think about it realistically, it’s the same for someone who has never seen a Sasquatch to tell you it was probably a bear, or something they have seen before etc., and down the totem pole of wisdom you go….The best we have is to listen to peoples stories and use our intuition to determine the persons validity or truth….but I do wonder about the power of the mind….if we start to accept something as possible, could we be manifesting it subconsciously for others to witness? Couldn’t we also protect ourselves by believing that something is protecting us as well as others? Belief…such a powerful thing.
