This happened just a few days ago. My girlfriend and I had gone to September Fest. We stayed out late eating and hanging out with friends. On our way home, we were driving down the road near Cabwaylingo Park. I was paying attention to the road and nothing else when my girlfriend, Brittany, suddenly said, “Shawn, did you see that?”
“No. What was it?” I asked.
“Turn around,” she begged.
I turned around at the wide spot in the road.
“I saw lights over at the pool!” she said.
“Britt, it’s 3 a.m. I doubt you saw anything,” I told her as I pulled across the bridge near the Cabwaylingo pool.
Then I saw the lights too.
“See? What is that?” she asked.
I parked the car, got out, and told her, “Stay here.”
I turned off my headlights so I could investigate and used the flashlight on my iPhone. I looked through the gate, and the lights suddenly disappeared. I climbed up the chain-link fence, and then everything went black.
All at once, a big black thing slammed into the fence and knocked me onto my back. I hit the ground hard. When I looked up, I saw its red-eyed, bony face.
I scrambled to my feet as Brittany screamed. I ran back to the car, jumped in, and we drove off.
I am still not sure what it was. I do not know why the lights were shining or what was making them, but I know I saw the scariest black thing I have ever seen. I had dreams about it that night, and I was completely freaked out.
No, I was not drunk or anything like that. Believe me or not, but I am telling my story.
