A reader describes at least two encounters with hairy, upright cryptids, one in west-central Texas and the other nearer to home in Mississippi. Could these have been cryptid canines and/or Bigfoot?
I received the following account:
Hey, Lon. I saw your post in the Anomalous Universe Facebook Group about cryptid Dogmen. That led me to the website and the encounters posted. The one from Mississippi is what prompted this email.
Anyway, I have a few things. The first, I've not told a soul about. When I was a kid, probably 8 or so, my brother, and our parents traveled from Mississippi to California. My aunt and uncle came too, us in a car and them in an RV. We stopped somewhere in west-central Texas for the night and all slept in the RV. Sometime in the middle of the night, everyone was sleeping, and I woke up feeling strange. I sat up and looked out the window and saw (I really don't know what I saw) what appeared to be men walking on two feet but they had fur and almost looked like wolves.
As a late teen, I lived in Lincoln County, Mississippi. I went to a friend's for the weekend who lived way out of town, down a gravel road with 2 houses and an old still that belonged to my friend's family. So of course around midnight we snuck out and walked to the still about 1/2 mile away. Now we were scared we would get caught so we did not stay long at all, definitely not long enough for alcohol to cloud our judgement. On the way back, we got maybe 20 yards from her driveway (one side of the road was heavily wooded and the other had scattered trees and high grass) we heard something moving in the grass and almost simultaneously stopped and turned in that direction. Next was a growl that scared me worse than I'd ever been and have not felt again to this day. We both took off running not daring to look back because we could hear it. We made it inside and never said a word to each other til the next day. We just sat staring at each other.
My brother-in-law and his wife live next door to us, there's probably 200 yards between our houses and a slim wood line that we cleared a small trail through to go back and forth. At the time my son was 10. He and I rode over there on the 4-wheeler for something and returned home shortly after. I pulled into the carport (at the back of the house) and my son hopped off the bike first, he said, "Mom, What is that?" Pointing towards the wood line we had just come through. When I turned, there was something very tall with hair over its entire body walking that woodline. It moved kinda slow and very smooth. I remember thinking it looked almost like it was floating it moved so smoothly, but it was walking. I could clearly see that. We got my brother-in-law and all of us drove to the back of the property but found nothing. This one didn't scare me as much as the others, it more amazed me because I was like "I KNEW IT" Not many believe me but I still tell the story." AS
