"She saw a large black figure in the middle of the road, not six feet away from the car. When she noticed it, it reacted to the lights shining, quickly turning its head and showing its big, glowing eyes."
I received the following account:
"My grandma passed away 2 years ago and I wanted to share a story she used to tell. Now some of the supernatural or paranormal stories were more mythical like the stories both she and my dad would tell of little people called minapeds; or little people. The name might be a rough spelling as it was in Kiowa-Tanoan and I don’t know the spelling of it, but that’s how it sounded in English.
But there was one story she'd always tell when we drove around the old road around Mount Scott and Lake Lawtonka near Medicine Park in Oklahoma. In the late 1960s before having my dad but had my uncle for about 5 years. She lived close to the tribe in Carnegie but still lived closer to Medicine Park. Usually, she would go to Carnegie during the week for groceries as she worked nights at her job during the weekend, but on the odd occasion, she'd go to Medicine Park to get whatever groceries we needed that weekend she either forgot or didn't get enough of. The reason she did is because there were no stores in Carnegie that were open late in the night but there was one in Medicine Park.
She then told us that the mountain we drove around was sacred to the tribe, and were promised that no road would be built there by the government in the 1900s but of course, they built some there anyway so when driving you can get a good view of the mountain and the lake closer. Because of this, it is now haunted by a spirit that's aggressive if you drive at night.
Now a lot can agree that native creatures and supernatural stories were just made up but this was the first real event that made her believe more than what she thought was real regarding native "ghost stories."
This particular night the clouds covered the moon and stars so it was darker than usual. It didn't bother her much as she can still see the road and "I'll be damned if I'm wasting gas to Carnegie" but around halfway through the trip, her car stopped. Just turned off by itself. She thought it was weird but probably just something wrong with the car. She went to turn it on and nothing. So she tried a second time. Immediately after attempting to start it a second time, she said she heard something 'woosh' above the car. Then she started it a third time and it worked. But in about 5 seconds she said she saw a large black figure in the middle of the road not 6 feet away from the car. When she noticed she said it reacted to the lights shining as it quickly turned its head and showed its big glowing eyes. It then flew up into the air never to be seen again.
She just called it the owl but my brother likes the name 'Owl Man' better. But the reason she claims this was a significant encounter was because owls in our tribe are taboo and are said to be bad omens. If you see one, it means someone close to you is going to die very soon. And about a year after when my dad was less than a year old they found out my grandpa had cancer. It would be a little over a decade before he died from it but the owl and the bad news were not coincidental.
Now, do I believe it? Yes, I do. My grandma was dead set on it being a true story and my dad believed it too, probably because he also had stories of paranormal stuff happening to him. He said it himself, "There are things out there you can't even imagine. Think of how many times things sounded fake until it was found or had happened." If I ever get with my dad again I'll ask him more about those kinda things and maybe post them but for now what do you think of this encounter? I know it didn't happen to me but it happened to someone very close. Plus I never see native paranormal encounters other than Skinwalker or what have you." B
