The Dog That Turned Into Green Mist, Cows Standing On Hind Legs & Other Cases Of Gibbering Insanity

Another Irish one. There was a letter written to the magazine Animals and Men a few years back about a weird creature that chased a car.
It took place in 1997 in the Grayfield-Greencastle district four miles from Kilkeen in County Down. Louise Donnan and her niece Clare. As they drove along a certain section of road the saw what appeared to be a big sheep up ahead. As they drew closer they saw its coat was not wool but composed of what looked like rags. Both women felt a wave of revulsion as it turned its head to look at them. It ran over to the car and they saw that its round head was level with Clair’s window. The only feature they could see through the tatty coat was one of its eyes.

“We were both almost frozen with fear as the eye looking straight at us was reddish in colour, and gave a terrible, wild, penetrating stare. When I looked at its eye I could almost see its mind working powerfully behind it, a mind not of an ordinary animal but of one with another sense and evil I have never encountered before (or since). I felt sick with fear but thankfully Clair was able to compose herself enough to accelerate the car and we took off at an impressive speed. Our relief was short lived as suddenly we felt a ‘thud’ at the side of the car. To or horror this mad ‘animal’ we thought we had gotten away from was running alongside the car and deliberately banging into us.”

After chasing the car the thing abruptly stopped and the two women felt as if it had got to ‘the edge of its territory’. Neither drove anywhere near the area again.

Back in my days as a zookeeper at Twycross Zoo in the midlands, I heard a very odd story. There had been a poltergeist out break in the town of Coleville or Coleshill (after twenty odd years I can’t recall which of these midlands towns it was in). It centred on a supermarket. Pools of urine would form on the floor and items would be scattered about. Witnesses claimed to have seen the ghost of an oven ready chicken waddling around in the store!

This is how I perfected my William Shatner impersonation.


Just a thought on the beetle - if it was real and if it was clinging to the window then it wouldn't have been able to look inside the plane from that position.
Beetles just aren't made that way.

it could very easily be an illusion created by the "control sistem" as the great vallee called it
 
Didn't this thread used to have 'that' instead of 'what' in the title or have I experienced a mandela effect?

It has always been what. One of my favourite thread titles this. :cool: Although I believe it was originally " I need the dog what turned into green mist" and the gibbering insanity was added later to generalise the thread.

A lot on here is word of mouth. We often share stories straight after we've heard them, while they're fresh in our minds.
They are organised as well as we can manage into themes such as ghosts, UFOs, urban legends, conspiracy theories etc. You'll find our personal accounts of strangeness in the It Happened To Me section.

There is a band of insects that live in the sky, circling the globe, so it's not that unusual to have the beasties that high up. What is unusual is one the size of a dinner plate, so it might have grown in the telling, so to speak.

Titan beetles get to be 6.6 inches long.
Not sure if they can fly though.
 
Just had a look: goliath beetles can fly too! There used to be one preserved in the natural history section of Kelvingrove in Glasgow, and they're pretty big and round.

oooh I found this gem of a story...

So i've shared my story a few times(multiple now) whenever someone asks what the creepiest thing to have happen to them is so it might look very familiar, but here it is: When I was 16 I would jump on my trampoline out back for hours every night. Literally, hours. I would listen to my ipod and just daydream to get away from a rough family life. One night when I was jumping a kid ran past our fence full speed carrying a box about the size and shape of a skateboard. He ran to the park behind my house and held it by the edge then tossed it into the air so that it flipped a few times before landing on the ground. At this point I was a little weirded out because he was just standing over it staring for a pretty long time. Then out of no where he just bolts full speed back past our fence like he didn't even notice I was there. Alright that's a bit weird. I just kept jumping and staring at where the box was.... here's where it gets creepy. The box looked like it was moving. Then something started to rise out of it. I actually stopped jumping and rubbed my eyes and watched as what looked like a full grown man rose out of a box that was like 2 inches thick.. He had an elongated head with no hair. His skin was orange, and his eyes were huge and pitch black. He raised one arm up to his side and the box just kind of went into what I can only describe as a trench coat. He walked over to the only pavilion we have at the small park, grabbed the metal beam holding up the overhang and started to bang his head hard onto the beam over and over. At this point I had rubbed my eyes quite a few times and couldn't even move. I had no idea what I was seeing. Then without warning he just stopped and his head quickly whipped around and stared right at me. It was like he could feel me watching him. A giant and I mean giant smile came across his face as those dark eyes just stared at me. He tilted his head back and forth a few times. I had goosebumps and my eyes stared to tear up. Even typing this is making my hair stand on edge because I wont ever forget that look. As I was about to start crying (and I don't know why I wanted to cry but his face just filled me with terror) he turned around and kind of phased down the road off into the distance. Phase like those units the Protoss have in Starcraft that leave a "trail" of themselves for a short period of time if that helps to explain it. He was gone. That was it. I balled my eyes out and sprinted inside and called my best friend who assured me I was seeing things and needed to calm down. Im sure I sound insane and no one will believe me, but this is the creepiest thing that has happened to me. I know what I saw and to this day when I think about it my eyes begin to water and my hair stands on edge. Never saw anything like it since.
