An Iowa man, who traveled in Iowa and Illinois for his job, was parked at a rest stop. He encountered a bizarre man or 'thing' that horrified him, eventually affecting his life.
I received the following account from a reader:
"Hi, Lon. I've wanted to send to this you for a while, but finally got around to doing so. This incident happened to my friend John.
In the 90s John was an IT guy in parts of eastern Iowa and far west Illinois. He was used to driving from one account to another either late at night or early in the morning. He'd pick a halfway point to use a rest stop and to grab one of those awful paper cup coffees from the machines while he was there.
One early morning about 4:30 am he was in Iowa and he stopped at a wide spot in the road rest stop. He parked and there weren't any other people there except for a couple of semis who looked like they had been there for quite a while.
He went into the men's room and it was deserted. He used the bathroom and went to the sink to wash his hands. He said he caught some movement from the corner of his eye and there was a very tall, very thin man standing right in the middle of the entrance about 15 feet away. He was dressed all in black and he says that the guy's eyes were pitch black. The man was giggling to himself and John swore he was at least 8 feet tall.
He glanced down to grab a paper towel from the machine and when he looked up this man was so close he could hear him breathing with a loud bubbly sound. There's no way he could have crossed 15 feet in 1 second.
As he told it, this man (or 'thing') slowly smiled at him and it wasn't a smile. It was a baring of serrated, sharp teeth and this thing starts chuckling like he's looking at his next meal!. My friend screams 'Jesus help me!' and runs for his car. My friend says the man was startled - like he wasn't supposed to be able to move. He felt like he should have been frozen like staring at a snake.
He runs to his car, which wasn't locked, slams the locks down, starts the car, and floors it getting out of there. As he's leaving he looks in the rear view and this thing is running after the car.
He always swore somehow this thing followed him home. He was paralyzed in an accident not long after and I went to care for him for a little while. I brought my 3-year-old son with me and in his typical baby way, he would chatter away while the two of us were talking.
I asked him one day who he was talking to. My son said, "He says his name is 'BITER.' He has long teeth and he lives with Mr. John." I grabbed my son and ran out of there. I never went back to that house." M
