Winged Humanoid Creature - Silverstone, NC, Oct 1983

from Spooky Appalachia

This week’s story was sent in to us by someone who had an interesting encounter with a winged humanoid creature back in October of 1983. It took place in Watauga County, North Carolina.I was driving a Volkswagen Beetle to visit with my sister in Silverstone NC, which is off Highway 421, she said. I was around 18 years old at the time. I stopped at a stop sign off 421 where my headlights were shining directly on a barn straight ahead. That’s when I saw this winged, human-like creature running alongside the front of the barn. It was around six to seven feet tall, dark, with two arms, legs, and huge wings. The creature looked like it was part bird and part man and it appeared to be wearing combat boots. Seeing this really freaked me out, so I sped away.After this I noticed the creature was following me.I made a left turn and sped up, questioning what the heck I was seeing. I heard wings flapping, looked into my driver’s side mirror and could see this thing almost on top of my car following me. It kept up with my speed, which I would estimate at about 45 to 50 mph on a very curvy two-lane road. It followed behind and beside my vehicle for several miles.Eventually my engine started sputtering and seemingly the battery was being drained. The headlights started dimming as I nervously rounded curves. At this point the winged thing was flying over and pretty much clinging to the driver’s side of my car. It was hitting my car and smacking into it. I didn’t understand why it was on the driver’s side hitting the car. I felt it was trying to get inside my vehicle and get to me I don’t remember what happened immediately after this. I was out of it and came too several hours later and had gone around several curves .I don’t know why or what happened after those curves, but I was really puzzled and lost. I saw a sign that read Camp Joy and I had no clue how I got off of my normal route or how I got there.When I got home I realized what the time was, I was puzzled even more by this. The trip that usually took about 20 minutes coming back from my sister’s took 4 hours. When I realized all of this I felt sick! To this day I’m still not sure what happened. Big thank you to the person who sent us this story. It was pretty incredible. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
