Three friends in Mantachie, Mississippi are in a local park at night when they see a dark-cloaked being. After they leave, a red-eyed, bat-winged creature swoops down toward their truck.
I received the following account:
"Dear Phantoms & Monsters editor. In the Fall of 2001 two of my friends and I decided to go to the liquor store and get someone to buy us a pint of booze. We were not yet of age so we had to get people who were of age to go in and buy it for us. We did this two or three times a week. The small town we live in (Mantachie, Mississippi) most of the time leaves you alone as long as you are not bothering anyone. We got the booze and headed to the park in this small town. We go to the park to have a drink every once and a while but this night was different.
We pulled up to the park and started to get out of the truck. We had not yet opened the booze so the booze did not influence us. I was sitting in the middle and my friend was getting out of the passenger's side door. When he got out and I got out, I noticed the sound of a tennis ball bouncing on the tennis court. I looked and saw this figure bouncing a tennis ball. The figure was around 6 feet tall and was wearing a dark cloak. It looked to me that he had some sort of pouch on his back. we all saw the same thing. In a flash, we jumped back into the truck and headed down the road to figure out what we had seen.
We got a few miles away and in the distance, we saw coming at us a large bat-like creature. It was several feet away from us but you could make out the red glowing eyes. It passed right in front of our windshield and vanished in the darkness. We rushed to one of our houses and didn't drink that night. We didn't do anything but stay there all night.
I am a skeptic when it comes to the paranormal but I do know what I saw. I read your reports of the winged humanoid in Chicago. Do you believe that it may have been the same or similar creature? Have you received other reports from Mississippi? Thanks. D
NOTE: This may have been a red-eyed winged humanoid. We have received reports worldwide. Lon
