I looked at this creature

A listener writes “My encounter happened when I was about 12 years old in 1975. My parents had property in the Pocono mountains in Bushkill Falls, and my mother wanted to go check on the property and decide to go with her. We went and looked at the land because they did not have a house on the land, they just owned it.

It was a beautiful fall day around October, the leaves were starting to turn and the air was crisp. As we were heading back about 2:30 in the afternoon, I believe we were on Bushkill Falls Road heading towards route 209- There is very little traffic on this road and Bushkill Falls Road has twists and turns. At one point as we turning to the left to go down the curving road, I saw something out of the corner of my eye. It was sitting about 6-8 feet in from the edge of the road in the small saplings. And at first I thought someone tossed out a stuffed animal and it was just sitting on the side of the road. But as we pasted it, I saw this thing turn it’s head and watch the wheels go by as it leaned on one arm.

I looked at this creature and ran a list of animals through my head trying to connect it to something I knew. I asked my mother “did you see that?” She said what? I didn’t bother to explain it because I wasn’t sure what I saw. It sat about maybe two feet tall and was covered in white, silvery short length hair, The face was pinkish and the eyes were dark amber red. By the time we turned down the curved road I couldn’t see it. I hear that if there is one, there has to be more.

I guess its mother was near by and it was playing by the road? I have lived with that image my whole life, I am an artist and I drew a picture of what I saw. I just told my siblings only about three years ago, and of course they didn’t believe me. I appreciate the work you’re doing and I just wanted to share my story… Thanks for your time.”

    I’d really like to see the picture you drew of it. My youngest brother had an encounter near Ringwood State Park on the border of NY/NJ in about 1977.

    I had one walk up to my window when I was in the 4th or 5th grade which was 50 years ago but I can only recall some of the creature. The way it walked and the red glowing eyes and it was all black and hairy. I never talked about no one would believe me anyway. I understand when people think you are lying.
