A witness contacted me about a sighting of a huge 'prehistoric-looking' bird that literally blocked the sky in front of their car while driving near Round Lake Beach, Illinois (Lake County).
I received the following account:
Back in the Summer of 2002 during the late morning to early afternoon, we were driving south on Highway 83 leaving Round Lake Beach, Illinois (Lake County) going towards Grayslake when we were startled by something large and black crossing in front of the car and landing in a small open area of brush, to our left. One wing easily filled the entire view ahead of us.
We saw that one huge black bird had landed next to another one and that they were devouring what looked like a small deer or a large dog. It was just for an instant but they were prehistoric-looking and larger than the local turkey buzzards. We watched the evening news thinking that some large vultures may have escaped the zoo but we saw no mention of any such creatures. We often wondered if anyone else had seen anything like these large black birds in northern Illinois.
Thank you for posting the article and letting me know that I wasn't the only one who saw this." S

I hear and read cryptid encounter reports daily. There are risks and dangers in the wilderness. Most campers, hikers, and hunters research and respect any wildlife or environmental pitfalls before heading to the location.
But how can these people protect themselves from a creature they are told doesn't exist? An anomalous being that is so abominable that it's difficult for the human mind to comprehend.
I'll examine several reports that I have received over the years so that you can develop your rationale for their existence.
