About a year ago I was driving home and we live way out in the country in about a couple thousand acres of oranges. Out on a ranch. Anyway I stopped at our mailbox to pick up the mail which is located about a half a mile down from where we live. And I looked up and saw this black weird shadowy creature crossing the road.
After getting my mail I drove a little bit further down to see if I could spot it again. I saw it a second time and I could not identify it. It was larger than the coyotes and it didn’t act like a coyote. Coyotes usually dash into the orange groves when a car comes. This just looked at my car and then walk very slow into the orange groves. Although when I got to the spot where it disappeared I couldn’t see it.
The next day a rancher from several miles away and our nearest neighbor came over to see if we had any large dogs that may have attacked his sheep and goats. All nine or 10 or mauled and killed by this animal. Of course we only have a poodle and no other dogs. He said he tracked the foot prints of the creature back to our place. I would have thought he was a bit of a nut except I saw some weird creature out there in the dark. It was black and sort of blurry.
Yes strange! Now my mind is open to others who have had similar experiences. I remember thinking it might be a dog but it didn’t act like a dog. Usually lost wandering dogs out here will stop and wait for cars anticipating a ride or their owners returned. There are so many that are dumped. But this was something else and very strange.
