A listener writes “Well, this has been years ago, probably about thirty. Two friends and I were going to Paducah to bail one of their husbands out of jail- long story, but I digress.
They were going to take turns driving, I couldn’t drive stick so I was just along for the ride. At that young age (around 21, 22), safety wasn’t a big concern, so I was loose in the backseat, leaning up between the front seats.
We were all talking and laughing. We were on what looked like an interstate, as it had four lanes, divided by a median, with a high speed limit. But it was late, we had no GPS at the time, and we ended up going the wrong way- toward Virginia/West Virginia, not so much Kentucky. We had a lull in conversation. As we went around a curve, there was this. . . thing standing there on the side of the road. Our side, facing us. It was really tall, covered in hair, and in a stance that looked like it was peeing.
I couldn’t see genitalia or urine, but it had its hands held in a way that looked like how a man stands to pee. My mind was looking at it, trying to figure out what it was seeing. And it was a delayed reaction, but my friend driving screamed and said, “WHAT WAS THAT?!” And then I screamed and said, “I DON’T KNOW!!! WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?!?” And the girl in the front passenger seat didn’t even see anything. She was screaming asking us what was wrong. She wanted to get off at the next exit and go back to see what she missed.
We said no way. And the weirdest part, aside from the whole thing, is that we never discussed it or brought it up again in the years following. We have lost touch sense then, but I didn’t mention it to anyone for over 25 years. Someone asked us during a dinner party what the weirdest thing we had ever seen before. I told them. They all just looked at me. So that’s my story. Pretty anticlimactic.”

Thanks for the post. Always a good thing to discuss what you saw. Most people don’t want to talk about it.

Man that is exactly what I think I would love to have, a roadside sighting. But then you understand what it might feel like to see something like that and you would probably have to go through life knowing and others perhaps doubting, present company excluded.
There’s a highway just south of Wichita, Kansas, 3 hours from me or so, and I met someone at the Honobia OK conference who had a road sighting down there. It’s near a reservoir. If I wasn’t such a chicken I’d go camp down there. Thanks for sharing your story! It adds a credible sighting to the SC statistics and we all enjoy hearing about your experience. Thanks, Wes.

Thanks for sharing! Good story.

Everyone screamed and then never talked about it again. Seems to be a common theme in multiple party sightings and encounters. Thanks for bringing your experience to us.
