About 3 years ago, I had a freak experience. I will try to detail it so you guy can tell what you think.

It was 2:00 am and I was still awake when I heard what sounded like a snuffing sound right outside my bedroom window. When I reached the window to check out what the heck could that be, I heard a groaning and a heavy breathing sound. I was so freaked with that sound that I wasn´t able to get close to the window to check if it were shut, thx god it was! I turned the lights off and then I noticed a shadow just outside the window. The thing keep breathing and groaning and then it scratched 2 times the base of the window then it left.

10 or 15 minutes latter, my neighbor called me saying that a huge dog was standing outside my bedroom window. He said that the dog was so freaking huge that it could easily jump inside my room if the window were open.

2 or 3 days latter, some ppl reported about a huge dog like figure running through the street after 2:00 am.

I don´t know what the hell was that, but it sure was freaking...

My thought is, that it could easily just be a large stray dog. If there's an interstate, or regularly used highway nearby--or even a few miles out--it's a possiblity that a person dropped off the dog because it was too big, or it got loose from the original owner. You might want to ask around, and see if anyone's lost their dog; or report it to the local pound. ;D

But, I know how you feel. I've had moments like that too--except it was an owl, and I felt completely stupid afterward.

Edit: Oh, yeah, the dog's probably hungry too, if it was dropped off, being unwanted and all. If it's as big as neighbors say, you might want to keep an eye out. It could easily be diseased, and I would warn local parents too--if you have a large enough reason to believe the dog is dangerous.

Edit 2 ! : Considering this was three years ago. I just now caught that. Wonderful me.
Well, you get my idea. x]

It could have been a Barguest. There demons in the form of a huge dog, normaly with eyes like burning coals. They normaly haunt graveyards, but I would make an exception here.

OMG! Now I will have to close my window every night!

That’s all fine and dandy, but that’s pretty much jumping to conclusions. Before guessing that it’s a demon of some sort, try looking at the more plausible, logical reasons. ;D

I'm not saying that it isn't, but it's best to look at what it might be, instead of what it could be.

(And closing your window every night is a good idea all together anyway. ._x;)

eh you probly saw my sister.

if it was three am then i wouldn't be impressed, but 2:00 a.m. that's differant

Is there any phenomena that usually happens at 2 am?

It could have been Fenris

Or it could just have been your guardian/spirit animal; may I ask if you had been under stress before this?

lol

No, I don´t think so. I was a bit tired, but that just don´t explain my neighbor seeing it too.
Anyways, it happened sometime ago, I don´t think this thing will show up again.

It kind of bugs me that you're still applying the less, of the more logical theories here. It'd be kind of rude of me to post the exact same thing I posted in post number five--so, I'll do it anyway. "That’s all fine and dandy, but that’s pretty much jumping to conclusions. Before guessing that it’s a demon of some sort, try looking at the more plausible, logical reasons. ;D I'm not saying that it isn't, but it's best to look at what it might be, instead of what it could be." And, it was three years ago. A large, stray dog (pretty frightening, no doubt) would have been shot and disposed of by a local gunman even...
All I'm saying is, try to apply sense to experiences before jumping to the paranormal--even if this is a paranormal board, it doesn't mean that the experience is going to be.

Ah, one more thing. I'm not saying that the event wasn't scary, I don't blame you Feanor for asking about it here.
I actually had a moment like this a few weeks ago, and was scared silly--but I found out that whatever it was at my window was just an owl.
Somethings appear bigger, more frightening at night than they do in the day. ;D

This is freaky, i admit, but i doubt it was anything like a hellhound, something more like a st. bernards, or another large breed of dog.

MAybe a big stray dog.

sound like Irish wolf hound

Scooby Doo!...

Did anyone ever see what the dog looked like? Like what colour eyes it had eg.
Also how tall it was?
~Ruby

probably is a large dog.

don't get your undies in a twist. some dogs can get pretty big ya know. it mighta been a wolfhound or a great dane. if it makes ya feel betta check out these pics. one's a great dane & the otha's a wolfhound.[attachmentid=24243]

Why does everyone resort to logic? evelotion isnt logical because logic would state that through reproducing the jeans would stay to the same print of animal and not mutate, causing evelotion, but it does! SO LOGIC ISNT ALWAYS RIGHT! philistines

First of all, (I'm going to use this as an example) ghost hunters must use logic and try to debunk cases before declaring a spot haunted--and the same goes for this. If something can be proved, by using a logical explanation, then the event/object/etc is usually something that wasn't abnormal at all.
Actually, Jim, I'm gunna say that mutation is logical, and it does happen, as well as evolution. It's been proven, but not in humans, if that's what you're referring to.

And, in this case, whatever Feanor saw could easily be a large dog.

Frankly, I had no idea that animals wore jeans.

But jokes aside, it was most likely a large dog. Or perhaps a coyote. I wouldn't go jumping to conclusions just yet. It's more likely a man in a werewolf costume than an actual demon.

Still, I'd look at the local legends and myths. You may find something there.

Because logic is the acceptance of the null hypothesis...IT WORKS.


Ha, you know nothing of genetics...My dad is a highly acclaimed genecist for UofM. Evoluion IS logical. Do you even know how genetics work? It's not just mutations that drive evolution, but also alleles and polymorphisms. Basic College Biology.

Your whole post makes no sense at all...go back and retake a HS Biology course...

Hey, Frogfish, maybe Jim's not had a high school biology class yet? (Or even at that level.)

:]

But, I do have to agree with you.

I have a question for you Feanor what do you consider to be large dog? I'm just asking because I've met people that consider a Dober or German Sheperd to be a really big dog if your one of them that's fine I'm just trying to get a better idea of it size wise do you know was it about the size St. Bernard, Great Dane or more in the size range of a Sheperd.

^that's a good question.

I'm guessing that it was a pretty big dog, then. It was three years ago that this happened, I wouldn't expect Feanor to give an exact height of something he didn't see eye-to-eye.

Demons do exist, you just dont see them because your mind creates filters to block the things it dosnt want to see, this develoups from 3 and up, there for you dont see them, but somtimes they slip through the gaps when the mind mistakes it for somthing it allows you to see.

Jim, you're still wanting to prove this experience as a paranormal one, even if all the facts are still leading to something that isn't. I'm not a skeptic, no way, I'm just saying that you're a little bit too open-minded. And what I meant by 'eye-to-eye' was that he didn't see the creature thoroughly-he got a phone call from a neighbor describing the height of the animal.

First of all, they don't.


Second of all, that's BS, you know nothing of neurology...The mind cannot create blocks...do you even have proof? Take it from a person from a medical family, the mind cannot do that.

You know squat about neurology...

What sort of yard did you have? Was it fully fenced? What about the area you lived in? Did the neighbour see more then just a 'big dog' description wise?

You've gotta give him points for trying, at least. ._x;

Jim, maybe do a little bit of light reading, or a search, before you bring something up that you're not one hundred percent sure on. Or, you might bet bashed again.

their have been many sightings of big dogs throughout the world some reported as normal stray dogs and others say they are demon dogs or something but im not saying this is the case with this dog but i have read that the devil hadf released some of his demoncreatures amung the earth years ago but im not sure if they woud have been able to stay alive that long

That's if you really believe the devil exists...In Catholocism, Satan does not have any "beasts"...The demons are in spirirt form...

Taka I don't expect an exact hieght that's why I named some fairly well know breeds and ask which of those hieghts it was about, if Feanor isn't sure I which it's closest to I understand and I figure it wouldn't hurt to ask though.
As for the possibilty it's a demon while I do believe they exist and can manifest themselves in physical form that wasn't the case here everything it has very easy natural explaination of it, it would be like me assuming that the deer that I saw out of my back window at 3 a.m. were demons because the were so very close to the house remember animals aren't near as skidish about houses at night. My nieghbors cats know to stay away from my house during the day because of our dog but at night sometimes I will see them looking down into window wells of my basement when I'm watching TV.

I apologize for being so blunt, but it was a dog no more no less, it wasn't any form of fenris or dog-man or werewolf or demon. Just a dog.

Jim calm yourself, almost all of that information I agree is false, (though I do believe in the POSSIBILITY of demons) everything else is indeed incorrect.

When I said large, I really meant it. I am 1,85 metter tall. I think most European and North americas country meassure different, sorry. But, from the ground to the base of the windows, there is 1,40 meters then, to the windows top it meassure 2,20 meters tall. The dog, as I could see and my neighbor saw, was higher than the middle of the window, that should be about 1,85 to 1,90 meters tall.

I know that there is big dogs etc, the problem is: Here in Brazil, is rare big dogs, at least in São Paulo, where I live. Any way, I am not saying that its some werewolf or anything else. but that it scared hell out of me. I can´t explain how heavy and scary was its breathing in the window... Then it scratched the window 2 times so strong that I thought it were going to break through it...

I asked my neighbor yesterday about this incident and he said that the thing, as he prefere to call it, was grey and that the lower part was a bit smaller than the upper/torso part. But he wasn´t sure.

A similar incident happened at my camp. It's in the middle of nowhere, basically.

One night I heard something two-legged walking around outside, I immediately called for my father and him being who he is simply took a quick glance out his window and said there was nothing there and a mouse could seem loud at night.

Lol, a mouse huh?

I kept hearing it and it sounded like it was getting closer to my open window. I called for him again and for some reason, I was extremely freaked out that night, so much that he had to sleep in the same room as me. (There was 3 beds in the one room, so no it wasn't in the same bed in case you are wondering...)

I eventually fell asleep. I woke up, it was still night time and I looked over at him and he was wide awake staring at the window. I looked at the window too and there was a shadow of something very tall in the window. I asked him if he was seeing that to and his voice was sort of... In a way I never heard it before, he just said "yes".

I then went to sleep in the middle of the camp/cabin on the couch next to the fire place.

The next morning he was talking about it to his wife, my step-mom. Of course she didn't care, she was just upset with me and how my dad had to stay in the same room as me.

I must have been 11 or so when this happened, it was quite some time ago so I don't completely remember the memory fully.

EDIT: I can't really remember when I went to sleep on the couch, all I know is that it was sometime after we seen the shadow/figure.

Phowl did you check outside the next day for tracks?

To be honest, I'm not quite sure. I think we might of, but I'm not completely sure.

lol ur right there.

[ok

I think you guys are all taking this waaaaay too seriously.

If such a thing happened to you, you wouldn't be open to all sorts of possibilities?

Whether it's a dog or not, it's still pretty creepy...

Agreed, even if it was a man, its creepy!

How the hell will you know what it is?!

*sighs* IT WAS A FREAKIN' DOG, END OF STORY!!!!

Does that spell it out for ya?

In my opinion, Thylacina, it's pretty rude to force that idea on someone when you weren't even present at the time of the event. And going on Feanor's description of the height, I myself am having second thoughts even though I offered the idea that it was infact a dog.

Whatever it was, could have been a number of things.
I do think it should be dropped before something gets started, and all this shouting gets out of hand...

It happened three years ago, there's seriously nothing you can get out of it now...

Dog, man, supernatural occurance.
It was something.

That's agreed.

Did you mean Fenrir? Cause I REALLY wouldn't want HIM scratching at my window. hehehe. It may have just been a big dog. . . or a interdimensional werewolf! haha. Anyways, I have personal experience with inappropriately large animals scratching at my door at very bad moments, so I know how scary it can be. . . A giant racoon (seriously, the thing was bigger than three normal racoons put together) came scratching at my door the other night while I was in the middle of a tarot reading. Talk about freaked out! If I wouldn't have gone to the door to see what it was, I would have thought it was something really ominous. . .especially since like two seconds later some woman started screaming next door. . .they probably saw that monstrosity waddling off my porch and thought it was something else.

Poor thing. . I hope if it was a dog that it found a nice home. But, like Taka said, it was three years ago, so not much can be done about it now. . .If it happens again, that would be another story. . .
