10ft Demon with wings


SkulK

Recommended Posts

Hi guys, first time post here just seeing if anyone can relate.

Ok so I've never talked to anyone about this except family, it happened about 18 - 19 years ago while I was driving home as a passenger in the car with my mum at night as a kid. We lived in a village surrounded by farmland and while on the way back from the nearest town driving through the country side in the dark my mother and I both saw what we could only describe as a demon.

As it was dark she had full beam on the car and we came over the crest of a hill as the lights panned down over fields both sides on the right was what I describe as a solid black man hunched down looking like he was doing something on the floor (squatted position) but even at the point he looked huge! Wide as well as tall, the lights lit up everything around him as he was only 150-200 yards away but not him as all, he stayed solid black, he saw the car lights stood up, at this point I realised he was around 10ft tall, jumped another 10ft in the air and opened some huge wings out that also seemed to absorb light, now these wings were easily 7ft each side and all I felt was the most horrible feeling of depression and sadness I cried almost instantly, I closed my eyes out of fear as I saw him hover and go slightly higher moving towards the car incredibly fast, I felt him on the right side of the car where my mum was driving and then he went, I keep saying 'he' because that's just what it felt like, the wings were tatty and jagged underneath not smooth. My mums account was slightly different, she saw all the same, the hunched down, the jump etc but she looked forward out of fear trying not to look, but then could see its face flying next to her window looking at her, or us, I had my eyes closed at this point, he's descriptions were of shear size and feelings the same as mine. We said nothing to each other in the car for 5 minutes and then I asked her what it was and she said she didn't want me to have seen it and she hoped I didn't and the rest is just conversation.

There seemed to be no face, no light seemed to hit it and it defining was not good or kind, I've never been a person that can see ghosts or feel presences etc and still don't I can't find anything serious on the internet it's all cartoon crap, am I the only person here?

Thanks

Dan

Your story is similar to a mothman sighting story i saw on TV. Where did this happen? Maybe you and your mom should draw what you remember of the sighting that day and see if there are any differences. There could be a rational explanation for this, the mind does play tricks on you at night, especially if you're sleep deprived and you're spooked out. Also, since it's been over 15 years, maybe your mind recalls things differently now and you got it mixed up a little with other memories.

Thank you very much for you reply Dinosaur Jr.

Moth an pictures look very similar, in fact the nearest thing yet, although there were no red eyes.

The location was in the UK, in Lincolnshire, the Wolds area near Louth to be exact, very remote.

Unfortunately I lost my mother 18 months ago now so I can't ask her anything new but we had questions from every family member over the next few days and she insisted we both be questioned about it separately so as not to influence the others answers, there was a drawing at the time and it did look like the Mothman you mentioned but again, there was no face to be seen and certainly no glowing red eyes, the Mothman sighting from what I've found seems to be in West Virginia but that's not to say it wouldn't travel, I'm struggling to figure a reason as to why in a field of out of season crops though.

I wrote the description down at the time and so did my mum, I've been emptying some boxes from the attic today and came across the hence me trying my luck on here. I really want there to be a rational explanation and I've called local papers years back now to see if they have heard anything, but nothing unfortunately.

Thanks again.

Any reported cryptids like the one you saw in Lincolnshire?

Sorry that's not something I've looked into, but will see what I can find on any known cryptids in the region. We have Hawks and Ravens locally, maybe an escaped eagle from a sanctuary but I've never heard of anything this big let alone seen it, I neglected to mention the clear outline of legs and arms also as it jumped in the air, it was like we had startled or interrupted it.

Thanks Surge, I've been looking over the years and nothing really jumps out, it was so clear and visible yet no one else seems to have seen it I don't know why I should be the only one.

Perhaps Springheel Jack or Owlthingy, i think second could be possible due to a latest sighting in 1995.. yet the more advanced we become less picture material exists.

I wish there was at least a drawing of what you saw. Too see what we are looking into.

Perhaps you can try your luck in here.

The best pictures I can find seem to be on the first page of googling Mothman. Pumpkinhead666.deviantart.com seekersofwisdom,freehostia.com it's very much like these but no feathers on the head and a normal size head

Hi I am not trying to discredit your story but do you mind if I ask a few questions.

1) how where you able to judge the approximate size of the creature.

2) you said It flew and hovered, did you actually see the wings flapping or did It just stretch them out and seem to glide.

Thanks for your time great post.

I also thought I saw a 10ft demon with wings. Turned out to be a Feminist Liberal burning a flag. Odd.....

I'm sure you saw *something*, but I'm not super convinced of the wings. To carry a human-sized creature into the air, the wings would need to be dozens of metres wide. Did they flap? Was there any noise? Did it make any noise at all? Did you stop the car? How old were you? What colours was it when it came close?

Not saying that's what you saw just giving you a idea of large bird species. Being a kid you may have misjudged sizes. Being in the dark would only increase this effect.

Yes coupled with the fact he was in a moving car. They were lucky they did not have an accident while allegedly seeing that.

OP, I hope the police went to investigate this strange "person" on the road harassing drivers and acting in a dangerous manner.....she did report it right, even for the sake of other drivers?

Childhood memories can spin and twist things. As a kid I saw amazing things that I haven't as an adult but do wonder what they were. Maybe you could chat to your mother and ask if she remembers it. Perhaps what you saw might've been real or a misundertanding. How old were you?

Thanks for sharing your experience .

Did your Mother ever offer any explanation other then it being a demon ?

Did she ever say it could have been a bird ?

i am always amazed how a kid can judge size and distance while in a moving car....this is more amazing than if there had actually been a demon!
