A Forest Park, Illinois resident recalls an encounter that he and his friends had with a winged humanoid that reminded him of the Jeepers Creepers creature.
"I was 16-17 (around 2009), with a group of friends (8 of us maybe) walking down my block in Forest Park, Illinois, heading towards one of my friend’s house. It was summer, around 9 pm. The sun was already set.
Once we made it to the end of my block, at an intersection, perched atop of 20 ft street light was a figure. Humanoid, definitely, but with wings, standing relatively still. I and all of my friends saw it. Started out it for maybe a few seconds. All muttering “WTF?”
After those seconds of collective confusion, the thing spread its wings fully. I don’t think either of us saw it fly off or anything because the moment it did that, we all took off running. Half of us one way and the other half another. Guessing neither of us has ever run that fast in our lives. I eventually made it to the friend's house we were originally intending to get to.
Obviously, we were freaked out, asking each other WTF did we just see? Honestly really not talking about it too much after the situation. I’m 29 now. None of those friends that I still keep in contact with remember seeing red eyes. But everything else was the same as how the Mothman is described. At this time neither of us had even heard of the Mothman or even that there had been a sighting in the Chicago area. But I, without a doubt, know what I saw was real, because the group saw the exact same thing, at the exact same moment. If I was by myself, I don't know if I would’ve believed it.
Honestly, we were out of there so fast that I couldn’t pick up much of the vibes that it gave off. All I know is that wasn’t an owl, a crane, or a drone. It kind of reminded me of the creature from the Jeepers Creepers film, if you know of that movie." TA
NOTE: I'm attempting to obtain more information from this witness. I'm not going to post this to the database or map until I can determine more details. Lon
