werewolf encounter
(edit: responses or explanations wanted)
this august coming will be three years since me, my cousin and some friends witnessed something pretty scary and to this day unexplained, we still think and talk about it a lot purely due to how eerie the instance was so i felt like posting here might give some answers or maybe even just a space to get it our into the world lol
every summer my family, cousins and a few family friends travel to a rural place in Co Kerry right beside the coast. without giving away our houses exact location it’s surrounded by forested mountains and cliffs in a bay area. it’s pretty rural and the village we stay in has two pubs ,one petrol station, a church and a beach cafe and that’s pretty much all the amenities around. farming and fishing are both massive in the area so there’s plenty of those people. the farmers in the area usually have , mountain sheep or goats because they are the only breed that can withstand the weather and steep heights the hills get to. my cousins house is pretty far up the road into a shrubby dense mountain and their neighbours own a large farm beside them their home being right beside my cousins, their shed being about 50 foot away another smaller tractor shed being 50 ish feet from that with field space in between behind the tractor shed is a dense forest, there is also a few derelict houses that have been abandoned for a while near them . my cousins always have an end of summer barbecue with all our friends and family and it’s usually a really fun time. three years ago august my cousins had their barbecue early because the weather was nicer then it would have been later that month.
that night , me, my cousin, my sister and our friend went for a walk along a steep dirt road that was used by farmers to go up further into the mountains, it’s beside my cousins house and we usually walk up just a bit to get a good view of the bay on clear days but this time it was pretty dark probably around nautical twilight so we had just enough visibility before it was complete dark. (it’s worth noting that this was on the 6th of august 2023 and just a few days before we had both a blue and Super moon) while we were walking along the path we looked to our right, we had a view of the neighbours two sheds and we could see a completely black figure crawling along the ground on all fours unnaturally fast, it stood midway through moving on its two hind legs and bolted as fast as possible into the forest area behind the tractor shed, we immediately ran down as fast as we could the hill road and back to my cousins house where i left my sister back with our friend who was older as my sister was pretty young at the time, while me and my cousin walked cautiously back to the area where we spotted the creature, at this time it was near,y completely dark so we knew we couldn’t stay for long but as we waited and stared into the spot where it was originally we noticed two yellow slitted dog like eyes staring directly at us, we ran down and haven’t been back since.
this has been something we have talked about a lot the last year or two since it happened because there was no way what we saw was human yet it wasn’t quite animal either, we have been calling it the wolfman and i’d love others input
