Two friends are driving at night in the Houston, Texas suburb of Kingwood. They soon encounter an unknown, but disgusting, entity in the middle of the freeway.
The following account was forwarded to me:
"Ok, so this happened to my friend and me around 2005. I was 20 years old. We had a couple of beers each earlier in the night so pretty much sober. We were driving on Highway 59 right outside of Houston near an area called Kingwood. This is the first time I have tried to write the experience down so bear with me and feel free to ask me any questions or details if you'd like.
So it was about 3:00 am and he was driving. I was in the passenger seat. It was a large 3-lane highway and was illuminated quite well with those 'orange' colored street lights. In the distance, we noticed something in the middle of the freeway. It looked to me like a man on crutches and my immediate thought was that it was a bum or something. But when we got closer it was apparent that it was without a doubt not human.
Now here is where I will describe in the most detail I can what I saw. What I thought were crutches were actually its arms but they extended well above its head. Large fleshy poles are what it looked like, very knobbed and nonuniform. It did not have legs but rather some type of abdomen or nub from what I could tell from behind. Its head was very shocking, it looked like a bulbous mass like a giant water balloon slopped to one side, very large. The whole thing was a rust-like color. I am not sure if this was its actual color because it was also the color of the street lamps. I would say a good 7 or 8 feet tall.
At this point, we are completely freaking out he's screaming and I am yelling at every obscenity I know. He pulled into the left lane so as not to hit it and, being in the passenger seat, I got an up close and personal look at the thing. Its body seemed wrapped in what I would call 'mummy-like wrappings' but embedded and haphazardly put on, mostly around the abdomen nub area. But the face was the most shocking part. There wasn't really a face there, just folds of skin. This may sound gross or crass but I don't really know how else to describe it, it looked like female private parts and was disgusting.
It should also be noted that it paid absolutely no attention to us. Also, the thing was propelling itself with those poles/arms and using its abdomen thing as leverage or something, kind of difficult to explain but I could try again if anyone is wondering. It was also going at a very fast speed when our vehicle moved past the thing it wasn't like someone running but maybe like a car going a little under the speed limit. After we passed I looked at him and asked if we should turn back and he said no way.
The next day we got together and talked about it and tried to explain to our other friends what we had seen. And every time we see each other even after many years we always bring it up to each other.
Now, I have no possible explanation for what this thing was. I have searched many times online typing in every description I have and I always come up with nothing. I even thought about calling into one of those late-night radio shows but I am too shy for that. The main reason I am writing this is because I still desperately want to know what this thing was and I wonder if anyone has ever seen anything similar. If you guys could point me in a direction to someone who could be of any help to me I would be very appreciative.
I will add one more thing. After thinking about this creature for many years and doing some research I wonder if this was some type of bat. Although it wasn't flying, the fleshy pole/arms do remind me of a bat when it's walking, and how the wings fold up. And the face was folds of skin like a bat's nose. But that's about all I have." S
NOTE: The Houston, Texas region is known for a particular cryptid that was reported beginning in 1953, the Houston Batman. Is it possible that this is what the witness observed? Lon
