URBAN LEGEND? Unexplained BLACK DOG Encounter in Northwest Pennsylvania

The witness recounts his sighting of a huge black dog that crossed the road in front of him. He was surprised that his dogs never reacted to its presence.

I received the following account:

"I grew up in a rural area near the Allegheny National Forest in northwest Pennsylvania. When I was young, a teen near our house died in a car accident. Not an uncommon accident for a young teen. She crashed into a tree. But some said that she did so trying to avoid a dog. A big black dog with an unusually long tail according to some descriptions. It was said by some in the area that an old man in the area mistreated a dog, and the dog in question haunted the area seeking revenge. It was said that seeing the dog predicted either death or great fortune.

My brother used to tell me stories about the big black dog. I pretty much ignored the stories until I encountered the dog for myself.

When I was in high school I had a friend who I took with me pretty much everywhere. When we explored the woods near my house we always took my family dogs. It was a rural area where we regularly let dogs off leash and just expected them to follow us and not stray too far. If they ever encountered anything unusual they would absolutely alert and raise hell.

Well, one time we were just making our way to the creek and I heard a rustle in the fall leaves. I watched a huge black dog with a stupidly long tail cross our road, crash through the leaves, and disappear into the woods. None of my dogs reacted to it in the slightest. I know if I saw/heard that dog move over the road the dogs would have; yet they didn't acknowledge it in the slightest. And my dogs were territorial. They would have chased a dog/rat/rabbit/whatever to the end of the earth. I thought I was hallucinating.

Until my friend asked me if I had just seen that enormous black dog cross our path and asked me why none of my dogs reacted to it. It was so surreal. I thought I was being paranoid, and then my friend asked me why none of my dogs reacted to the strange black dog and if I even saw it. It was strangely even weirder having a close friend acknowledge the oddities. The only other time I have walked that way since; coyotes started whooping and we turned right around. I'm not interested in being around that area near my parent's house ever again." A
