"It was a MASSIVE black wolf-like dog. This animal was so tall while on all fours, that it seemed to be almost as tall as my car. Its back legs were almost kangaroo-like. Very long and muscular."
I received the following account
"These two incidents happened almost a decade apart, and for obvious reasons, I cannot guarantee they are related at all, but it seems reasonable to at least entertain that idea.
The first story takes place at my cousin's trailer, a couple of houses down from mine. We live in a rural town at the foot of the Appalachian region in Southwest Virginia, so there’s plenty of forest coverage around us. We were playing hide and seek, and all was well until I tagged my cousin and made him the seeker. He hated seeking, so instead of playing the game, he decided to quit and sit on his front porch. The time was around midnight, maybe a bit earlier, so naturally it was pitch black outside, and perfect for scaring someone. My cousin's friend, my brother, and I began to devise a plan to get revenge on my cousin for being a sore loser, and we came up with this: we lured him to the edge of the forest and my brother jumped out at him.
A very simple plan for a couple of dumb 13-year-olds. So we got to it. We managed to convince him that there was something making noises in the woods, and so he came with us to investigate. As we walked the edge of the forest we heard something inside walking with us. I looked at my cousin's friend and we were both grinning, knowing it was my brother beyond those trees. Then, out of nowhere, my brother bursts from the side of my cousin's trailer, screaming and roaring, sending all of us into a fearful panic. He got us good, so good, that we forgot about the noise coming from the forest, that could no longer be attributed to my brother.
As we were all laughing about the scare, we heard a horrifying noise come from the depths of the forest behind us. It was a scream and sounded like a man screaming for help. It slowly changed pitch and to this day, I swear it said “Help”. After about 5 seconds of human-sounding screams, it turned into the most guttural roar I’ve ever personally heard. It was chilling. We ran inside and my cousin opened the blinds to his window, and it was right then when we noticed the obvious and haunting sight of a full moon.
Yes, we don’t know what could have made that noise. Yes, there are farms around. It could have been a cow being attacked by coyotes, or pretty much anything that happens in rural America. But I’ve never heard anything like it before or after it.
Jump forward about 9 years, in 2013, and I’m coming home late from work. As I’m driving I see two bright orange eyes peering at me from the side of the dark road. I thought it may have been a fox or a dog, but as I got closer, I realized it was no average fox or dog. It was a MASSIVE black wolf-like dog. This animal was so tall while on all fours, that it seemed to be almost as tall as my car. Its back legs were almost kangaroo-like. Very long and muscular looking while the front legs were short and thin. It dashed across the road and in front of my car, jumping the fence to the left of the road with almost no struggle.
When I got home, I nonchalantly told my family that I finally got to see the 'Werewolf' that made that noise so many years ago. I don’t necessarily believe that it’s an actual werewolf, but I can’t honestly say it isn’t. Anyway, I thought you guys might enjoy these strange stories. Keep a keen eye out on full moon nights." O
