Seven years ago I saw something that changed how I see the world. I was 21 and babysitting for a friend at her house. She lives in a small village in Illinois surrounded by wooded areas outside of a small city. The villiage is called Burton. You can check, it does exist. Anyway, it was very late in the evening around 1 am. My friend left her garage door up and I didn't worry about it. Around 1 am I heard this loud racket going on in the garage. It sounded like an animal terring up the place. Knocking down stuff and ripping up something. I got scarred. I locked the door to the garage and called my friend. She told me to call the police and so I turned out all the lights in the house because my friend didn't believe in curtains or window blinds. And I didn't want them to see me in the house. The children were upstairs sleeping and so I thought it best to leave them be. I grabbed a large knife hunkered down in a dark corner and called the police. Like I said she lives in a rural area and it took the county mounties 20 minutes to arrive. During this time the racket stopped. I looked out the window and I saw the wierdest thing of my entire life. It wasn't human and it wasn't animal. It was something in between.
The head was human, the shoulders were hunched over, the legs were a man's until you got to the feet. The were shaped like a dog's or a cat's, it was male, I know this because he was nude. I didn't see his face. He ran so fast. Faster than anything I've ever seen. He ran across the yard. The 911 operator told me to stay in the house until the officers told me it was ok. When they gave the ok, I opend the door leading to the garage. The garage was in shambles. The thing ripped through my friend's garbage bags and animal feed. I told the officers it was a man because honestly no one will believe the truth of what I saw. I'm not sure what it was. All I know is it wasn't human because he was to big in size. The officers didn't find anything and wrote it off as "alone woman gets the spooks." I've been alone in the boonies before and I've never got the creeps.
About two years go by and I didn't tell anybody. For obvious reasons. Another friend of mine moves up to Burton during this time. She lives down the road from my other friend. Anyway I decide to tell her about the strange insident at my other friends house. She got bugged eyes and said "Oh my God! I'm not alone." She then tells me a story about what happend to her two months before.
Burton is known for its stray cat problem. My friend who recently moved has a tender heart. So she has a big pan outside on her backyard patio that she fills with cheap catfood for the strays. I told her not to do it because once you feed a stray you can't get rid of them and there too wild to tame. Anyway, one night, she hears this loud rockus outside cats hissing,crying and screaming in some instances. She turns on her backyard patio lights and thats when she saw it. Actually its a he, because he is naked. Anyway he is on all fours eating out of the catfood pan like a dog or cat. His body is covered in long hair/fur, and he looks up and she saw his face. He looks at her and runs away on all fours just like a dog. She told me his face looked sort of like a man's but not quite. The next morning she went outside in her backyard and their was at least five dead strays. It looked like someone ripped them up. She gave an exact description of the thing that I has seen two years before. She later moved. She said it was too weird in Burton.
Now the Present: I was chaperoning a sleep over for my friend's kids at her house (the one that had the break in). I decided to scare the kids by telling them about the "guy" who tried to brake into their house 7 years ago, but this time I told them the truth of what I saw. A couple of their friends gave me a wierd look and asked me if I had really seen what I had saw. I said yes. The kids didn't bat an eye. Two of them said they had seen it and another one said they knew someone who had seen it when they went deer hunting last year.
I don't know what's going on in Burton, Illinois. But I think someone should investigate. I don't know who to contact, there isn't a real x-files. I don't want to get involved with quacks. And everybody else doesn't believe you're telling the truth. Anyway I got my story out. It's the truth as I know it. Whether or not you believe, that's up to you, I don't care. I've seen other weird stuff in my area as have others. I don't know why but the midwest is full of strange happenings. Well I'm going to end this. I hope you've enjoyed my story. Good luck and be blessed.
