A St. Lawrence County, New York resident is driving through a gated community when he encounters a tall, pale horned bipedal humanoid that lets out a terrifying scream!
I received the following account:
"Hi, Lon. I have listened to several of your interviews, especially on Spaced Out Radio. I feel confident disclosing my encounter with you. This took place on a rural back road in St. Lawrence County, New York on Christmas Day in December 2007.
The day was very nice. We opened presents early in the morning with my sisters, great breakfast, and delicious smells from preparing a feast, and the extended family brought pies and cakes for dessert. Around 2 PM we all sat down to eat and then enjoyed the rest of the afternoon into the evening.
At about 8 pm, after everyone had left and the food was all put away, I decided to head over to visit my friend in the next town. The drive would be about 10 minutes if I took back roads to get there. He lived in a gated community surrounding a private lake. Since the community was built around a lake, the roads surrounding it went in a spiral shape. The houses were sparsely positioned on the outermost part of the road. As you drove in further, there were a lot more houses positioned closer together nearer the lake.
My friend lived on the outer edge of this development, so once I reached the entry point, it would only take me another few minutes until I reached his house. His house, along with all the others, were far enough apart that you couldn’t see them from the road as you drove by. There were either woods all around with long driveways or open fields with long driveways. You could see porch lights on in the distance but that was about it.
As I entered into the development, the speed limit dropped from 30 mph down to 20. There were no streetlights in the development and for some reason, I never put my high beams on. I couldn’t go any faster than the speed limit because there were speed bumps in place every 30 feet or so for several stretches.
It was a mild night. I remember having my driver's side window open slightly taking in some fresh air. I remember driving in silence which was unusual for me (I normally always listened to music when driving). I was enjoying the quietness after the commotion of the day.
I reached a section of road that had barren fields on either side and woods set back. Houses were probably nestled back into the trees. As I drove, I noticed what looked like someone walking up ahead on the opposite side of the road, coming in my direction. Mind you, I was still going about 20 mph the whole time, so it was probably less than a minute by the time the “walker” came into clear view. I got a quick scan of it from my windshield before my car and it was exactly parallel.
It was not a person. It stood on two long legs, with long arms hanging from its shoulders. It was strong-looking. Lean, muscular, but not beefy in stature. It looked thin at the same time. It stood at least 7 feet tall. It was light colored, not sure whether it was white, tan, yellow, or greyish. It didn’t appear to have fur but there was some texture to the skin. It wasn’t smooth. There appeared to be something coming down off its back. I don’t know what this was. All I can recall about its face is the small features it had but the mouth and jaw were notably large. And it had pointed horns atop its head. That’s what I got from a quick scan and from my observation of it as it neared my car.
As my car became parallel to it within a split second, I went from looking out my windshield to looking at it from my driver's side window. At that moment, its face quickly peered down at me and all I remember was the mouth opened wide. Out came a terrifying scream that I’ll never forget. Gives me the chills just thinking about it. It consisted of a high-pitched shrill/shriek, enveloped by a deep guttural growl. Both sounds happened simultaneously in that scream.
I kept driving all the while. This was all happening so fast that I didn’t even have a chance to be scared or shocked or anything.
I continued driving, went past my friend's house, and drove home. I called him to tell him what happened and that I just needed to get back. I was probably running on adrenaline to get back home. Later on, I was in total shock after it sunk in. Had my driver's side window been opened fully, it would have touched me, or worse, taken me. I’m certain of it.
To this day, I still haven’t worked out what this was." D
NOTE: Some people would say that this may have been a Wendigo, though I'm doubtful of that. It seems to me that this may have been closer to what is described as a Deer Man or similar anomaly. What are your thoughts? Lon
