Giant Bird?
posted by Ryan Begley ryan_begley09@yahoo.com on June 3, 2007
Okay, the only reason i joined this site is to get my story out in the open to people who might believe me. Here's what happened: I woke up about 6 a.m on june 2nd. I live in Lawrence Township of Indianapolis, IN. That's all i feel safe divulging for the moment. The sun was just starting to come up and i was fixing breakfast. I let my dog outside to pee and went to use the bathroom myself. The bathroom window faces my backyard. The lights in the bathroom were off because the sun was starting to shine through.
While i was washing my hands the sun was blocked out for a moment, like something ran in front of my window. I looked out and briefly saw something black run behind my garage. I thought it was a person, so i went to see what it was. I ran to my backdoor and opened it. My dog was on the other side shaking.
I thought the person hurt my dog so when i went outside, i grabbed a broom to take with me. I slowly walked around the side of my garage, and that's when i saw it. At first, i thought it was a person with something on their back. I asked "What the hell are you doing?!?" Real quick to scare and get it's attention. The thing turned around and i came face to face with this nasty looking bird. This thing was completely black. Like a crow. Except it was built like a vulture because of the way it stood and the way it's neck leaned forward.And it's face looked a lot like an emu except it was all ragid and wrinkled. And it's beak was slightly curved. Then...it flew away. That's all i can say.
It's eyes were sort of a maroonish tint. Now, i'm six foot four and i was staring this thing directly in the face. I felt like i was staring at a human being because it kept eye contact with me. It was bird-like in many ways. It kept turning it's head like it was confused as to what it was looking at. I looked down at it's feet and saw it had feet like a bird.
I was going to hit it with the broom but didn't because i didn't really know what it was or what affect hitting it with a broom would have. So, i let the broom drop. This scared the hell out of the bird! It opened it's wings, and there was bright red markings on the inside. It didn't make a noise, but it did flap it's wings really hard. I could feel the wind coming from the flapping and squinted my eyes. I opened them and this thing was in my face. It smelled awful.
