The Moth Man. United States

LON Strickler, the American researcher of anomalous phenomena (mainly of strange creatures), recently received a letter from an eyewitness. People talked about the fact that in 2014 in South Dakota he watched the strange white creature that resembles a hybrid of bird and human.

"It happened on 9 June 2014 when I was visiting my friend in South Dakota. It was night, it was quiet and boring, and about 2 hours we decided to go to friends to the countryside to visit. We sat a little with them outside of the house, listened to music, drank a little beer, and then I'm tired, we got in the car and decided to come back to him.

Close to home friends was a wasteland and now we are going past him, trying to find some good song on the radio and not really pay attention to the road. But suddenly I noticed ahead on the side of the creature, which at first reminded me of a dog. He was sitting hunched over, as if something was eating on the ground. The closer we drove, the less it resembled a dog and suddenly when our headlights hit it, it turn the head and the next moment stood on his feet and it became clear that it looks like a man. But it wasn't human.

When we drove past it and it was on the side of our car I saw that it was some sort of a bird-man with feathers and it was white. All this took a matter of seconds, when we saw him, but I remember a lot of details. His whole body was covered with strange feathers and he had very long fingers 8 or 9 inches long (20-22 cm). We are very excited and in this moment, when we almost stalled at the sight of the creature, my friend shouted "go, Go!".

At the same time being strangely dusted himself off, and his body rocked some fringe. It looked like a porcupine shakes its quills. And then the creature screamed so loud! I hit the gas and tried to get out of there as possible. I was so worried that I drove past the signs, deciding to quickly get to the city.

Soon the town was far away and I stopped when we decided that we are now safe. I still get excited when I think of this. I sat there and cried and we had to stay in the car and a lot of thinking about what happened. I realized that our friends had to hear a very loud cry of this creature, it was quite near their house, but when I asked them about it later, they said they heard nothing. They are only told what I saw as we drove away from their house and all. I slept very bad the following year and I often had nightmares. Now I'm trying to find something similar to what I've seen reading different cases in search of explanation."

LON Strickler made this story review is that it seems the incident occurred not far from the reservation of the Sioux Indians, and seen the monster according to the descriptions similar to their mythical creature or one of their spirits, but Strickler wasn't sure.
