Greetings evryone,
I want to share with you an encounter i made in september 2012 in a French woods in the neighbourhood of Baugé en Anjou. I am not sure of the name of the forest, it could be "les bois d'anjou", or "la foret domaniale de Chandelais". Anyway, I am still haunted by this creepy encounter. I just can't accept being unable to know what was that scarry creature...
So. I was 20, and i was in an old small truck with an older friend (55yo) who was the driver. I was sitting on the passenger place on the right of the truck. The truck was very old, and i remember we couldn't go faster than 30 or 40 km/H. We were driving since Le Havre in Normandie, and we took only the very small road in order to stop anywhere we wanted to visit old church, or abandoned house, german fortification etc ... We were expecting to arrive at our destination, a troglodythe house that belong to friends of mine, around 3 AM in the morning. But we were late, and it was 3 AM when we enter a huge dark forest in the night.
We were driving slowly in the woods on a straight small road. The old lights of the truck were some kind of blinking yellow. At a point, i saw some very black humanoid outline on the left side of the road. It was a very clear outline because it was in the light of our truck. Otherwise i wouldn't even have seen it. The creature was on two legs as a biped. No tail. At first i couldn't see any arms. As we were slowly approaching the creature, i saw it turning its head in our direction. We were silent in the truck, saying no words, my friend was just driving and i was wondering if i was hallucinating. We slowly drive in its direction, and it strated to cross the road as it was staring at us. It has big yellow eyes like a howl. It was around 1m50 high. We almost were at its level and i remember fearing that it opened my truck door and grab me. I was really in fear. I saw its arms swinging along its thin black hairy body (it has hair on all its body i saw it at its outline as we approch it). It arrive on the other side of the road and suddenly stop and turn in our direction, still staring at me (or us). A few seconds later we passed it. and i didn't move my head, just looking at the right rearview mirror, seeing that it was staring at our truck leting us drive away from him. My friend and i didn't say a word. And half an hour later we drive out the dark woods and i said something like : "well, wierd things in the woods right?" and my friend was suddenly extremly nervous saying :" Yeah ! did you see that ? What da F**k was that ?!" We talked about it and he saw the same thing than me. He thought he was hallucinating because we were very tired. But no, we saw that thing in the wood... Today he is 60's and i am 30's and we are both still haunted by this thing. We talke about it every time we meet each other. He is particularly marked by the intelligence in it's big yellow eyes.
I know this could be explain, but to be honest i am an urbexer sinc 2004, I visit the catacombes of paris every two months. I saw wierd stuff during my explorations, but i never feared anything. But this thing, it's scares me. Really. Anyway, one day i found a picture on the internet. Sadly i didn't find the artist, and there were no context, but it looks like A LOT like what i saw ... exept for the eyes. The creature i saw had very big round yellow eyes.
