This story sent chills down my spine. It was sent in by Brian Shaw from Salem, Oregon. Brain has titled this very creepy story, The Dog and His Shadow. This one reminds me of an encounter  I once had at the park near my home a few years ago. I still haven’t quite gotten over that yet. Thank you Brain for sharing your story.

When I was younger I saw a shadow man standing in my front yard under the willow tree. It was dark out. I stared at him for a long time because I knew he would disappear when I looked away. Not sure how I knew that. He was wearing what looked like a cape or a trench coat and his collar was up. He had a dog. It looked pretty big, maybe fluffy even. I watched him for a really long time. 

The neighbor’s dog came over to the edge of their fence and started to bark. The shadow turned its head to look over where he was. Their dog went nuts and was about to lunge in that direction, but suddenly stopped and went back home. The shadow man put his hand on his dog and petted it. When it did this the dog looked right at me. His eyes were red! I screamed to my family without looking away. Everyone came out and looked at the spot, but saw nothing. My mother had me describe him and she started crying saying she saw the same thing before. 

There was no way I wouldn’t have known she had seen him. She had always seen things that weren’t there. But this really scared her.  She said it has bad energy and the dog was pure evil. I couldn’t see his face but I had a gut feeling he was smiling at me. Finally, I looked away and when I turned back he was gone. I never saw him again, but my mother has. – Brian Shaw

This Week’s Podcast: On the program this week we have a story from the OTR series Suspense. Some 60+ years ago, people were preparing to hunker down under the threat of nuclear war. During the early years of the Cold War, many American families created underground bomb shelters fitted with supplies needed to survive for several days or even weeks. Our story today looks at that time. It is titled No Hiding Place and It first aired on October 1, 1961.

This story  was sent in by Tambra Souza who didn’t say where she was from. We have not had one quite like this and I really don’t know what to make of it. I do have some thoughts on this after you read the story. Tambra has titled this A Wolf Encounter.

My husband and I visited my in-laws one night. They live in a rural area with few streetlights. It was a typical fall night and we stayed at their place until around midnight. It was a clear night. No rain, no mist, no fog. Just a clear, cool fall night. Since it was late and there were so few people that lived in that area, the roads were deserted. It was just us alone on the road.

All of a sudden, my husband and I both saw something in the middle of the road in front of us. He slammed on the brakes at the exact same moment that I yelled “watch out!” In the middle of the road was what looked like a large dog or wolf. It was in the form of a white mist, but it was definitely there in front of us, and we definitely both saw it at the same moment. We had looked at each other in disbelief and when we turned back, it had vanished.

I said to him, “Did you see that too?” 

He described seeing a transparent white wolf that appeared out of nowhere. I only saw the front half. We had no explanation for how we both saw the same thing at the same time, or how it had vanished into thin air.

We were very freaked out the rest of the way home that night. We were afraid it was some sort of bad omen but nothing bad happened. I’ve often wondered about it. Was it a sign of some kind? I don’t know. – Tambra Souza

Ron’s Thoughts: Well Tambra, was it a sign? The obvious attribute of the wolf is its nature as a predator. Also, it is strongly associated with ferocity, loyalty, sharp intelligence and appetite for freedom. Making it the symbol of the warrior on one hand, and that of the devil on the other. Of all land animals, the Wolf is rumored to have the strongest supernatural powers and is the most accomplished hunter. I hope that helps. Either way this is one strange story. Thank you for sharing it with us.
