MrMidnightMoon Posted May 25, 2014 #1 Share Posted May 25, 2014 (edited) So this happened a few months ago, but I just found this site so I thought I would post it up. Now, I believe in plenty of stuff, but this was just...creepy. I was in my backyard with my dog Orion. It was a clear, dark, very still night. I had my telescope out and I was stargazing. The yard is fenced and we have a big shed back there. It's close to the back of the house and it makes a little alley of sorts. All of a sudden the wind picked up out of no where. Not strange really, but it had been oddly still. Then all of a sudden there was this deep, guttural, awful growl from the little alley. It sent shivers down my spine and I just froze, as did my dog. I've seen some weird things, but never have I experienced such primal fear before. My dog and I just sat there frozen in place, looking toward the alley. I could vaguely make out a shape, it was big. Then just like that...it was gone. Needless to say I went inside rather quickly. Went out the next day and there was an odd pawprint. I live in Florida. In my neighborhood we've got possums and raccoons and the like, but I have no idea what this was. Edited May 25, 2014 by MrMidnightMoon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrMidnightMoon Posted May 26, 2014 Author #6 Share Posted May 26, 2014 I honestly never considered taking a picture of it. I didn't really even want to tell anyone. It made me a little paranoid. Thanks for all the welcomes by the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orphalesion Posted May 27, 2014 #7 Share Posted May 27, 2014 (edited) Hey-o Mr.Midnight Moon, yup I know that primal fear. I have experienced it quite a bit in my life. Now there can be various explanations about it, one cause can be sudden changes in the athmosphere. The static in the air can creep our animal insticts out, as well as those of our pets. The growl: I think it was the Opossums. We have possums in Australia and they indeed sound like freaking unholy demons straight from hell, especially when they mate. So maybe it was just a Opossum climaxing. Edited May 27, 2014 by Orphalesion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supervike Posted May 27, 2014 #8 Share Posted May 27, 2014 So maybe it was just a Opossum climaxing. That's something that will haunt me now... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jilliman Posted May 30, 2014 #9 Share Posted May 30, 2014 When I was a little girl I got terrified by possums appearing in my friend's backyard. Maybe it was a possum like others have mentioned. Those things still creep me out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
