"His shoulders were pivoting in a manner that humans shouldn't be able to move in swinging in circles and swinging over his head like there was no bone."
I received the following account:
"The following events occurred late in the summer of 1999 in suburban southern New Hampshire. As an adult, I work at the management level in the international disaster management field and have experienced some horrific tragedies. None of those can be compared to what I witnessed that evening.
I had tried to discuss what I saw with friends and family then, but I was chuckled at and dismissed. The other witness denied that it happened. We have lost touch over the years, so I can't be sure of his view of the incident as an adult. I only wrote this after reading some of your posts on humanoids and wondering if I really may have seen something unique.
I was driving my boyfriend home after a night out, and we were trying to extend the evening by loitering in his driveway. He lived in a typical late-'60s suburb filled with ranches and split levels. The neighborhood was higher-end, middle-class, and very well-lit. He and I were doing typical teen things when we noticed someone walking down the street, three or four blocks away. This caught our attention, as this was not the town or neighborhood where being out after 10 was common.
As he got closer we noticed something abnormal. Although his gait was slow and normal, something was stomach-turning about his shoulders. They were pivoting in a manner that humans shouldn't be able to move in swinging in circles and swinging over his head like there was no bone. The well-lit streets allowed us to see his face, which was calm and unassuming. Just a man enjoying a late summer evening walk, with his arms out of their sockets. My boyfriend looked at me with tears in his eyes and asked if I could tell him what that was. I said that it was probably just some druggie, but that we should probably get away. He ran inside and quickly bolted the door, I locked my car door and sped off in the opposite direction. When I had made it several blocks I glanced in my rearview mirror and he was gone.
My family home was about 10 miles away on the other side of town. When I got home it was close to midnight. It was also in the days before cell phones so I had no way of calling home before my arrival. Even though it was only a 25-foot dash from my car to the front door I was so shaken that I laid on the horn until my parents came outside, thinking there was a major emergency. They were livid when I told them what had transpired.
To this day I can remember the experience as if it were yesterday. I can also recall how unnatural his movements were, and how chilling it was to watch him move.
I'll never be certain what it saw. I'm sure that it could have just been a drunk that somehow ended up in suburbia but I've never seen any intoxicated person move with such fluidity (his legs and torso) and with such jerky contortioned upper body movements. Did I encounter a zombie? It simply doesn't compute." K
