Michigan Couple Twice Encounters HUMAN-FACED FELINE On All Hallows Eve!

"My parents were driving at night on All Hallows Eve when suddenly a large slender/lanky feline animal crossed the street making them slam on the brakes."

I received the following inquiry:

"So, this is a story my mother has told me. These sightings came from Michigan, northwest of Flint, south of Saginaw. The story goes that my parents were driving at night on All Hallows Eve in 1976 when suddenly a large slender/lanky feline animal crossed the street making them slam on the brakes. When this thing turned its head to look at them my parents were horrified to see that it had a human face! This happened the following year, on the same road and same day (All Hallows Eve).

I don't have many more details. My mother was raised in a family from north Michigan where strange things would happen in the forest but no one would talk about it. They believed if you didn't give any attention to the creature it could not gain power, or something like that. So anytime she would start to bring this up my father, or another family member would shut her down.

I am the curious type, I like to have facts and knowledge. Have you heard of anything like this before either in Native American mythology or know of things happening in that area? Please let me know.

I have found 2 possibilities of what this could be from others I have talked to. A Wampus cat or a Sidhe cat. Wampus would be more likely because it’s included in folklore in this area. However, the physical description that was given to me when I asked for more details reminds me a lot of the Sidhe cat found in Celtic/Scottish mythology and folklore. It’s said that it’s a witch that can transform into a cat 9 times. If they transform into a cat for the ninth time they remain in cat form. This is possibly where cats having nine lives come from.

I don’t really believe in a lot of this, however, there must be some unknown creatures that made people create these stories." E

NOTE: Since the witness saw the same thing twice, on All Hallows Eve in subsequent years, and at the same location, seems to suggest that it was a residual energy that manifests on the same date or possibly a thoughtform manifestation created unconsciously by the witnesses. I'm interested in the readers' opinions. Lon

RED, GLOWING-EYED COUPLE Encountered on Arkansas Campus!

"As I reached them and made eye contact in the somewhat dimmer light, he looked at me. His eyes were red. I don’t mean, the whites of his eyes. Like his whole freaking eye glowed red!"

The following account was passed on to me:

"I’m a very observant people-person so I’ll explain what happened as concisely as possible. It was 1985, and my second year at the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville, and I was living on the upper floor of a co-ed dorm. It was going into Fall so the nights were starting to get just a slight chill.

I came home late Friday night, more like the early hours of Saturday from dancing and partying with friends. My dorm had a private fenced-in parking lot in front and free-to-others type parking behind it. Since I came home so late, literally every spot was taken in the private parking lot and I had to park my car down the hill behind the dorm.

Saturday night rolled around and even though I was still sporting a bit of a hangover my friends talked me into going out that night. The private parking lot was lit with huge street lights and so was the street that ran in front where the sidewalk led you to the back lot. I took off through the parking lot, stepped onto the sidewalk, and noticed a couple arm-in-arm walking my way. I don’t think anything of it other than I was going to have to step aside and let them by as I made my way past.

Both were dressed like they’d already been out having fun. As I reached them and made eye contact in the somewhat dimmer light, he looked at me. His eyes were red. I don’t mean, the whites of his eyes. Like his whole freaking eye glowed red! I don’t want to sound nuts but it was like they were an animal's eyes reflecting in a spotlight at night. A projecting glow. Then she glanced my way as I was passing and her eyes were exactly the same, a solid red glow. It freaked me out bad.

I ran to my car and went out to party. I didn’t tell anyone because I figured they’d think I was 'seeing things.' But, I’ve never seen anything like that since. I guess I’d put it out of my mind until I was talking to my spouse one night and the memory surfaced like a nightmare. Of course, I’m not scared now, that was decades ago. I didn’t know what they could have been but it was also the way he continued to stare as I passed that really unsettled me. I don’t think I was supposed to see that." E

TALL, LANKY HUMAN-SHAPED 'SHADOW BEING' Encountered on Portage, Indiana Road

"I sat there terrified, waiting for the light to turn green, terrified that it was following me. After what felt like an eternity, the light turned green and I sped the rest of the way home."

I received the following account:

"Hi, Lon. I have been reading about people's encounters on Phantoms & Monsters, especially those about the Chicago Mothman sightings, and it has made me think about past creepy experiences I've had. One in particular had resurfaced in my mind last night.

So I grew up in Portage, Indiana. This encounter happened in 2021, though I don't remember the month. It happened before I moved out of my mother's house, and the trees had full foliage, so it was late spring to mid-summer.

The night that it happened, I was hanging out at my boyfriend's apartment. I hung out there almost every night of the week and would return home at around 10-11 pm. It was always dark when I drove home, and until this night I had never really seen anything weird. It was only a five-minute drive from my boyfriend's apartment to my mother's house.

About halfway through the drive, there is an intersection. If you go straight, you drive onto a short stretch of winding road with woods on both sides. On one side of the road, there is a small trail that follows it and cuts through some of the woods. It is a very beautiful walk during the day and a great place to spot deer in the morning. At the end of the road, there is another intersection that meets a larger busy road, which I would use to get to my mother's house. The trail turns into a normal sidewalk at this intersection.

So I'm driving on this stretch of road, and I'm getting close to the next intersection. There are no street lamps, so the only light source is coming from my headlights. The trail is to the right of me, and I see this tall, lanky shadow start to walk out of the tree line. As I pass, it continues to walk straight towards the road, almost right into my car. Now, I didn't really process what I saw until I had already passed it, So I didn't stop or even slow down. Despite this it seemed to not care that it almost walked right into my car, it didn't even hesitate. It almost felt like it knew I was coming. Once I realized what I saw, I started freaking out. I got to the intersection, but the light was red. I sat there terrified, waiting for the light to turn green, terrified that it was following me. After what felt like an eternity, the light turned green and I sped the rest of the way home.

Now, let me give you a more detailed physical description of this shadow figure. It was completely black, with no discernible features. Even in my headlights. It was at least 8-9 feet tall. Very long, skinny arms and legs. It was bipedal and walked with a large stride. Its head was round and looked a little small compared to the other proportions of the body. Definitely humanoid-shaped. I don't think it was a crawler, due to the shadow-like appearance, and how comfortably it walked on two legs. It definitely wasn't a person.

Also, on a side note, A friend of mine had a scary experience while biking down this same trail at night. He heard what sounded like a woman screaming. I don't know if those incidents are connected, but it's interesting to think about." H
