The witness described a strange incident that occurred while he was home alone. He and his neighbors discovered multiple unexplained animal mutilations in the nearby woods.
The following account was forwarded to me:
"I lived in a small neighborhood in upstate New York while growing up. One weekend, my parents were out of town, so I was home alone. My backyard was half-cleared land and half-dense woods. There was a small creek that ran behind my house too, so there was lots of wildlife.
On the first night around 1 am, I was on the couch in the extended living room part of my home where 3 of the walls had windows and we had a skylight. This is important because I had a complete view of almost all of my backyard up to the tree edge, including the moon overhead which was a waning crescent. I heard the sound of a very angry squirrel for about 5 minutes and I kind of brushed it off because I've heard angry squirrels before. Then I heard the most terrifying screech, it sounded like a goose I had just been murdered and screaming. It scared the crap out of me and I immediately rushed over to the windows to see if I could see anything. I was worried it might have been a wolf since my neighbor's cat likes to go wandering outside and usually kills a rabbit or two and leaves them in our front yard. It was pitch black and my porch light barely illuminated anything but our back porch. I brushed off the noise and went to bed shortly after.
The next morning I headed over to my neighbor's house who had hunted before and occasionally would bow hunt too. I asked if they heard that noise last night and they said yes, they thought it was a deer crying for help. They told me they were going to investigate the woods in a few hours to see what had happened. I was reluctant to ask to go with but I was determined to know what the noise had been.
A few hours later my neighbors and I went into the woods. We didn't have to go far when we saw a dead squirrel pretty much ripped to pieces. We continued on figuring that squirrels don't have much meat on them so the animal probably tried to get as much as it could out of it. We wandered for about 5 more minutes when we came across 5 dead rabbits, a deer corpse and her fawn, and a dead goose. Now this frightened me the most, 3 of the dead rabbits had just their heads missing and the body was intact. The other 2 were ripped to pieces similar to the dead squirrel. I almost gagged at the smell of it all. I didn't dare walk towards the goose or the deer. My neighbor who had a bow on him walked towards the does to see that she had long claw marks on her torso and her head had been mangled. The fawn however had its head missing as well. Now the weirdest part of all of the dead animals was the goose. The goose was fully intact except that its lungs had been ripped open and all of its inner organs were gone.
My neighbor's wife immediately called the police and said that a bear was roaming the property and was attacking innocent animals. I had my suspicions but I do not believe this was a bear. My neighbor who had the bow was keeping a clear eye on the surrounding woods like he was watching for something. His wife paid no attention to this and continued to talk to the police. Then it hit me with a feeling of dread and chills. NY gets cold in the morning but this was summer and the humidity was usually around 90%. The entire woods seemed to be silent as well, we were near the creek and couldn't hear the water flowing either. I could see my neighbor had the same feeling wash over him as he raised his bow and loaded an arrow into it. He told his wife to be quiet and me to stand back. I could not see anything but that feeling was still with me. My neighbor I know saw something but refused to tell me what it was since I was 15 and he probably didn't want to scare me. After a few minutes, the feeling of dread was gone and the sound of something moving through the forest could be heard in the distance. My neighbor lowered his bow and told us we had to leave.
We immediately listened and by the time we got back to the small neighborhood, the town police had arrived. My neighbor explained the story and the police advised us to stay inside. They later sent a few animal control people to survey the area to try and get the 'bear' away from the neighborhood. They came back empty-handed.
I never knew what that was that I was out there but I had done some research and I believe it might have been a wendigo by the dead animal killings. My neighbors refused to talk to me about it ever again. And my neighbor who had the bow seemed very cautious after that. This happened a few years ago and I now live in a different state." J
