A Jeepers Creepers-like winged entity was seen in the treetops in a Bronx, NYC neighborhood. The residents were shocked, but a neighbor said it resembled an old folk tale human-like being.
I received the following strange account:
“About a dozen years ago, in 2011 or so, I was living in the Bronx, NYC. My mum and I were outside having yarns and laughs. She heard this strange noise, what sounded like an aircraft or flying object cutting through the air. At first, I thought she was joking, until I heard it. he was like, "Look, baby, it looks like a bat." I was like "That's too big to be a bat." Then she was like "Well it must be the weather balloon." She then walked back into the house strangely, so I sat at the back waiting for her to come out. She came back with coffee when I heard something cutting through the treetops. Whatever it was had landed in my neighbor's tree (it had been cut back a lot, but had enough leaves covering it). It had a big thump to it when it landed. Mum ran inside when she heard it. I was freaking out, but couldn't help but stare.
As I walked to the fence, I noticed that there was no wind whatsoever. As I was trying to get a better look, a big deep breath blew into my face. I was startled, stood back, and said, "If you're a man of God show your face now! But if not, just leave please." As I was stepping back I saw it. Shocked like a stunned mullet, this big wind roared up, and with a huge thump, it flew into mid-air. Damn, that thing looked like 'Jeepers Creepers!' A big, tall dark man with a solid body, 7-8 feet, and it looked like it had wings like a bat! I ran into the house and went directly to my room, lying down and thinking about what I witnessed.
The next morning, Mum left to go to work, so I decided to rake the backyard. Then my neighbor yelled, "Hey Sis, what happened to you last night?" He then said, "You're lucky it didn't take you!" He yarned about an old folk tale, that there was a man with wings like a bat, that used to come around every now and then, take women back to where he lived, and make them his wives. The way he described it was what I saw. Still to this day, I don't know for sure what or who this thing was?" T
NOTE: I believe that the witness may have lived in an Arawak (Curaçao, Netherlands Antilles) immigrant neighborhood in the Bronx, NYC. I'm not familiar with the folklore, but I have heard similar accounts from other Caribbean nationals. Lon
