"At this point, the hair on the back of my neck is standing up. We drove maybe 50 feet before we saw a tree lying across the road we just drove on!"
I received the following account:
"Hi. This happened in early November 2016. I was moving to Philadelphia from Chicago, and my boyfriend had flown in to help me drive across the country.
My parents live in Ohio, so after making a pit stop there, we were on our way. Being broke at the time and wanting to save on tolls, we decided to take the toll-free route which would land us in Philadelphia in about 10 hours.
Originally we were going to leave my parent's place early, but we got distracted and didn’t leave until about 4pm. Not a big deal, I’ve driven from Chicago to California and hiked parts of the Pacific Coast Trail and the Appalachian Trail by myself. I was mostly bummed because the sun will be down by the time we’d get to all the pretty foliage in the mountains
Now the route we picked essentially had you dipping in and out between West Virginia and Pennsylvania. The parts of West Virginia we would be driving through are home to Mothman appearances. I was pretty excited about it as those stories fascinated me.
Living in the city, I don’t often get to see a clear night sky. Having road-tripped a lot, I knew sometimes more scenic highways would have viewpoint pullovers. So when we were in West Virginia I told my boyfriend to Google one and see if anything popped up. Sure enough, he found one. Being busy driving I didn’t bother to look at what his GPS showed and just followed his directions.
I thought it was weird that the GPS told us to get off the highway since normally these vistas are located right on the highway, similar to a rest stop. Whatever, we take the exit and turn down this dimly lit road which leads us up a smaller mountain base. I find it really strange that there aren’t any other cars around. I did see a rusty sign for a scenic lookout, and it pointed us down what looked like a service road. The road itself wasn’t paved, and the only other road leading off it was gated off. Both of us got a very weird feeling, I turned off the music because it was so creepy and quiet and my radio now sounded like I was blasting it from concert speakers. We could hear every leaf my car was crunching under its tires.
After going maybe half a mile down this road, we got way too spooked, and I went to make a 3-point turn to get out of there. At this point, the hair on the back of my neck is standing up. We drove maybe 50 feet before we saw a tree lying across the road we just drove on. My turning around may have taken 2 minutes, and as I mentioned earlier, things were so quiet that we both knew we would’ve heard a tree fall down behind us.
Panic started to take over and something told me we can’t just sit there and think long and hard about what to do. So my boyfriend said he would see if he could lift one side of the tree and move it over. I had my brights on and was scanning the surrounding woods for any signs of movement, I felt eyes on us, but couldn’t see anything. The tree didn’t appear to be old, it was literally as if someone knocked it over just in front of us.
As soon as my boyfriend was out of the car, the first thing I did was tell him I loved him and then lock the doors. Thankfully he was able to move the tree just enough for my car to squeeze through and as soon as he was back in the car we gunned it out of there.
I’m a very spiritual person and believe that there are things in the woods that we don’t always see. My boyfriend, on the other hand, is an atheist and doesn't believe in the unexplained. But, that night, we both agreed that something sinister was out there." J
