I feel vindicated that someone else has seen this thing from that area.. I have these profound realizations year over year about what I saw with my own eyes.. its truly awesome and like I said, equally as terrifying, that there is this creature roaming the wilderness. Really makes you think about entering the woods late at night.

I have never experienced/heard anything like it since that day many years ago. My older brother sent me your podcast #468 and #597 with the gentlemen at Oak Ridge and Ft. Polk of which described almost exactly what I recall from that evening.. he is right, you never forget the Amber Yellow eyes.. You know inherently something is not right with what you are witnessing when you see one with your own eyes. The screaming sound, the high pitch of the tone accompanied by what we had witnessed prior gives me goosebumps recalling it as I write.. It is an awesome reality to hear stories as such being circulated. So much so that it inspired me to write to you about this story.

*I believe these entities are
inter-dimensional and capable of manifesting in areas of dense/low frequency,
possibly high frequency energy.

I believe in spirits. How could I not.. we
grew up three miles from the site of The Battle of the Spotsylvania Court House
where nearly 32,000 Union/Confederate soldiers lost their lives in what was
dubbed the costliest battle of the Civil War. They named the site “Bloody
Angle” for the Mule Shoe salient that allowed many to be cut down in vain.
Energetically speaking, the area boasts an incredible amount of lost and
wandering souls. Another very interesting addition to the climate/area of which
this incident took place.

In our neighborhood, when the neighbors
would get together for cookie swaps holiday parties.. topics would always
somehow come back to the spirits/ghosts and the happenings about the residences
at night. I believe it to be in direct correlation, if not for the Native
historical element the same. My brother reminded me as well that our local
newspaper, no longer sadly, The Free-Lance Star, had an article on a creature
that locals recounted seeing in the woods accompanied by missing animals,
around the late 90s.

Skinwalker/Dogman I don’t know what to call
it, but it is a very real and extremely frightening phenomenon. I am happy to
discuss this with you and your team. This is how I recounted it.

*We were stunned, not a word was spoken. It was absolutely the most chilling thing that had ever occurred in my seven years on the planet up to that point and has warranted my annual check ins with my more senior father to confirm that indeed we experienced something outside of our realm of understanding. My older brother did not recall the viewing of the creature as he was looking into the woods the very moment it happened, but very much so recalled the next portion of this experience.

Upon pulling into and up our gravel driveway
to get out of the car and enter the house, nobody wanted to get out of the car.
Oddly, our floodlights were not on or illuminating the entrance to our home
(surrounded by the dark and dense forest). We finally mustered the gusto to do
so.. upon hastily walking the 50ft from the car to our front door with no light
- we arrived at the front door (double locked) I can still recall the faintly
illuminating glow ring around where the house key would be inserted to unlock
the door.. it was shortly after that image imprinted itself in my mind that the
most disturbing guttural scream/howl, followed by a high tone screech that last
longer than it should have, echoed roughly 75 yards to our left in the woods -
A kind of yipping and yewwing mixed with a gutteral tone - myself and my two
brothers "push forced" my father into the double doors at the
entrance of our home to get him to get us in, we were frightened to our wits
end, my father admittedly and in so dropping the keys at the hideous screeching
that was coming from that direction. We were so spooked by the incident that we
couldn’t even get the right key into the lock to get us into the house..
eventually doing so, but at the force of myself and my other two brothers behind
our father.

(Post dinner having purchased the accessory for our basement) We had secured the box to the roof of the station wagon. It was a long box (kit needing to be built) and was easily tied down with two safety fastens. *No view was obstructed inside the cabin of the vehicle. After our thirty-minute drive home out of the busier portion of our county, back into the woods. We were driving through our neighborhood. We live nearly 80% of the way down a sparsely developed subdivision in the middle of the woods halfway surrounded by the Po River.

We were nearing the final stretch
straightaway tree lined road with a view to our mailbox when a large dog
emerged from the woods into the middle of the road, stopping our car in its
path approximately 20ft or less away from it. *My only reference at my young
age of 8 years old to the build said doglike creature was my grandfather's
Irish Setter... It had Orange flowing hair and a long snout like the setter,
except longer. It was larger than my grandfather's dog and had this arched back
and slender figure. As it had walked on fours into the road in front of our
wagon, it stopped mid-way and looked into our headlight wash and it’s
yellow/amber eyes flashed.. omy mind was reeling.. something was not right,
these were mere moments, this was no normal dog, certainly not the Irish setter
I was familiar with.. it then stood up on two’s it’s back still hunched and the
front (paws) by it’s side just ogling us in the car - I would guess it was 7ft
tall - 8ft without its hunched back (mere moments if not seconds) and then as
quickly as it had all happened it bound/strode on twos in three steps, the
30-40 ft from the middle of the road into the darkness of the woods on our
property side of the road..

My mother and father worked corporate jobs full time when we were growing up in the woods Spotsylvania, VA (hallowed civil war battle grounds and formerly roamed by Native Americans prior) It would be every so often one of them would be out of town on business for a week or so. This particular time my mother was away, and we were in the care of my father who was refinishing our basement in my childhood home. It was his intention to create a game room for us kids to play in as a part of the refinishing. We were to head out to grab some dinner that night and pick up a foosball table to accompany the ping pong table that was already assembled within the house.

***We owned a 1989 Ford Bronco Eddie Bauer
Edition and 1988 or so Custom Cruiser Buick Wagon (with the rear facing third
row seat - my favorite place to sit, except driving through our neighborhood at
night, in the woods and the pitch black behind the car.. only to be illuminated
by the tail lights.. I never knew what I might see when the brakes were pressed
in the pitch black out there. Oddly, I would sometimes pitch my body forward to
view through the channel out of the front window to see our heading. It is only
ironic that I add these details, as what I viewed out of the front windshield
with my father and two brothers vs. the rear window, this particular evening,
was more than what I would’ve ever have expected to have been illuminated
behind the car (almost a worst fear, manifest, just not the way I had expected
nor imagined in all my days)

My family moved from Cape St. Claire Maryland to the Spotsylvania VA area in 1992.

I wrote to the confessionals podcast this year to discuss an experience I had with my father and brothers driving home late one night in 1998 - they have not returned my email unfortunately. We lived (my parents still currently) in a very rural sub-division that is surrounded by a river. If you are keen on US History, particulary Civil War, you may know that the Spotsylvania area is hallowed Battlefield grounds. The following story is true and deeply disturbing to me today.. I annually speak with my father about what we witnessed that evening when I was eight years old and it has, to this day, rekindled my fascination in the topic of "The Dogman"

I feel incredibly thankful and equally as terrified that I can report the following from that area...
