A man and his girlfriend are driving around their southwestern Arizona town when they encounter a terrifying wolf-like creature on the side of the road. What was it?
I received the following account:
"Hi. I listened to you on a podcast recently and I have a question. I saw a sort of wolf-like creature on the side of the road. I live in a small border town in southwestern Arizona and there's not a lot to do around here so a good time killer is cruising around.
My girlfriend and I were out on a date about a week ago and by the end of it, we just cruised around talking and listening to music until about 1 am. We decide to call it a night and as I'm driving her back home we both see this giant-four-legged creature on the side of the road with its back to us. Its fur was rough looking and it had this dark greyish color to it. I immediately thought it was a messed up giant mountain lion since they're not uncommon around here.
I slowed down a bit so we could take a better look and that's when it turned around and faced us. That's when I knew we were dealing with a whole new different thing here. It had the most ferocious and terrifying face I've ever seen. It had a long snout, just like a wolf. It had its mouth open and we could see some big and sharp-looking teeth. It was hunched over making its back rise and its fur was standing up just like a cat does when it's scared. With the lights of the car, its eyes seemed to glow bright orange, with a 'dead, lifeless' look as well.
After seeing this, I stepped on the gas and got the hell out of there. My girlfriend and I were in shock for a while until I asked her if she had seen that thing or if I was just going crazy. She confirmed and gave the same exact description of the creature.
After a bit of digging around, I found out that the only type of wolf that was once found here is the Mexican Gray Wolf but they are critically endangered now and they were exterminated from around here a long time ago. That type of wolf can only be found now in southeastern Arizona and southwestern New Mexico. The sheer size and appearance of this thing rule out coyotes and dogs entirely. I am amazed and a bit worried as to what we witnessed that night. What could this thing be?" D
NOTE: It is difficult to speculate if it was natural, cryptid, and/or supernatural. I'll let the readers decide. Lon
