I need your help identifying what I saw
I know this is going to sound fake and like a made up story but this happened to me yesterday with my girlfriend we went to sequoita park after dark because that were we usually take our night time walks the first thing I noticed that was off was that it was only around 10 when we got their and it was completely empty no cars which I found strange because even at 12 at night there at least a couple cars in the lot. So I park and get out of my car and I hear the sound of all the frogs croaking at night so me and my girlfriend start on our walk, walking on the trail leading to the bridge next to the big rock our plan was to hop over the gate and go for a woods walk but when we get to the bridge we realize we didn’t want to go into the woods because it was pitch black and looked creepy we were going to continue with the path walking by the lake but when we continued walking everything around us went dead no frogs no birds not even the fucking crickets it was completely silent. Me thinking it would be funny turned to my gf and said “yk what they say when it goes silent there’s a predator out” she turned to me and asked do you think we’re being hunted? We get back on the trail and walked into the forest trail near the playground as soon as we step foot in those wood I felt like everything and everyone was watching me we walk on the trail for a little bit until I started hearing this snapping sound like twigs but these were deep snapping sounds like something was stepping on a big log or thick stick and it was just breaking under their weight I thought maybe at first it could be a deer but these thing is.. Deer don’t follow you they leave you alone we kept hearing in everywhere in the woods so we get to part of the trail where it meets with a train track and by the way we were feeling in those woods we started walking on the train tracks about half way down the tracks I look up and I see in the bushes something on all four get on it’s heind legs and speed walked behind a pole it looked like a dog and maybe a deer but it was kinda hunchback I didn’t get a good look at it before it disappeared and at the same time as I saw the my gf asked if that was a person at this point that cracking sound stopped when we were on the train tracks and as soon as she said is that a person we heard that deep snapping sound start agian and we heard a mix of a scream and a bark I think? It’s unclear and to add more details I think this might have been the nixa hellhound bc of the descriptions and it says your more likely to see it after a severe thunderstorm which we had earlier that day. I’m trying to do research on it bc I want to know what I saw and if anyone else has experienced this please let me know and share your stories so I can learn what I encountered
