BLACK, YELLOW-EYED, UPRIGHT CANINE Reported in Appalachian Tennessee

"A large black creature with a canid body sprinted out of the woods. This creature had thin fur that was so black it had a pearlescent hue, with almost a purple tint. The eyes were a mid-shade of yellow."

I received the following account:

"When I was in the seventh grade in eastern Tennessee I was outside with my dog lying on a dirt mound looking at the clouds to pass the time. This was around 5:30 pm when my dog started to start barking and pulling at the leash. We lived in the countryside so we have woods surrounding one half of our house. I tried hushing my beagle but she persisted. I then stood up and looked in the direction she was looking to say, "Look, there isn't anything there."

As I said that a large black creature with a canid body sprinted out of the woods. This creature had thin fur that was so black it had a pearlescent hue, with almost a purple tint. The eyes were a mid-shade of yellow. Its legs were crooked backward and its hands were long and slender. It stood about seven feet tall when standing on its hind legs. When it dropped to all four its back had an aggressive hunch and still maintained its fluid motion. Every step seemed pre-calculated. As it was sprinting it tilted its head towards me as if it was aware of me but could not be bothered by my being there. It then jumped over a four-foot cattle fence without much difficulty.

I'm a senior in high school now and just last summer I had another experience. I worked with my father in his shed (he worked on motors and stuff) and had left my phone in there. My friend was staying the night, so we headed back down to the shed when I realized I had left my phone there. It was about ten o'clock and it was pitch black and about the same time of year as my previous encounter. We were standing outside the front of the shed trying to get the key into the keyhole when we heard a rustling in the brush in the woods. It was very faint and sounded like that of the breeze on leaves. Both my friend and I heard it, so we turned the flashlights towards the brush only to see a pitch-black shape standing in the light brush. The yellow eyes destroy my mind every time I recall the moment. My friend says "You see that, right?" By this time I was already sprinting towards the house.

Seeing this creature and knowing how it was just watching us tore my mind apart. It was so silent. I had a mental breakdown as soon as I got in the house. I've never had such an intense reaction to anything. From then on every time I went into the woods, I felt like something was watching me. I know this sounds crazy and I get that. I struggle with telling anyone and this is the first time I've ever tried to reach out in search of similar experiences." Z
