A listener writes “We live in south Alabama. There is a state park near us that we like to go to. There are walking/bike trails that run all through the park. About 3 months ago me, my husband and my 10 year old daughter were riding on one of the trails.
They had gone ahead of me a short ways. I was crossing a little wooden bridge and saw something out of corner of my eye. I am always on the lookout for wildlife, especially snakes because I love snakes. Anyway I stopped and looked and saw something that was probably about 6 and a half feet tall or so. It was tan in color. It was about 150 yards away. I quietly called my husband and daughter to come back to me. When they got to me I told my husband what I saw.
He looked and it popped its head back up. Then went down and came back up again 20 feet from where it was. It was almost like it was hopping but in a strange way. It’s crazy because we both said it looked like a kangaroo. But it didn’t at the same time. We couldn’t see a face because it was like it was turned where we could only see side profile. We have no idea what it could have been. We stayed there for a few more minutes but didn’t see it again.
There is no animal we have around here that would make sense for what we saw. I was totally creeped out the rest of our bike ride. When I heard your last episode about the kangaroo I freaked and went and showed my husband. That’s when we decided to tell you about what we saw a few months ago. Thanks for giving people a place to share their encounters.”
