I do not know the exact particulars of how the event ended that day. I do know a search was made of the basement and nothing was found, except for the old tunnels and large water pipes that connected the building to the old city infrastructure of the maze that exists under the city to this day.

My friend’s brother went home early that day and to my knowledge has not returned to New York City since. I dare say I do not blame him.

When I was 16 years old I lived through an awful event where something had broken into the house my family and I lived in on the south shore of Long Island. The thing lay in wait inside my house for one of my family members to return home.

I was first home that day and thankfully had friends with me. The thing inside my home made us aware of it being in my house by changing the lights inside which we noticed before entering the house.

We were frightened and called for help waiting outside in my car watching as whatever was in the house tried to bait us inside by flickering lights on and off. As we sat locked inside my car in the front of my house we could hear the thing howling and growl in rage at not being able to get us to enter the house.

When help did arrive we found it had placed robe and knifes around the house along with clawing the walls and ripping to shreds clothing that belonged to me and leaving it spread all over the house.

The thing in my home that night left a pungent odor of sulfur and rot that lingered for days after.

This thing came back later and tried to enter my neighbor’s house as their 17 year old daughter sat watching TV in their family room. The odd thing is that it tried to get to her by ripping a large window out of the house frame and all. The mother was at home and did get a look at the arm of this thing as it waved frantically trying to reach into the home. She described it as a snake type skin of what looked like a semi human arm and hand with long claws instead of fingernails. They also reported a horrible odor coming from the creature.

No one ever was able to explain who or what that was laying in wait in my house that night or who or what ripped that window out of that house.

I received an email from a reader asking me if I had any information on a strange incident he recalled seeing on television years ago. It was such a odd happening that he could not understand why he could not find any reference to it anywhere when he clearly recalled what he had seen.

My reader recalled the event being reported on the news that the emergency numbers in the city where receiving frantic calls in the middle of the night about strange lights in the sky around New York City. Enough calls came in for patrol cars to be sent out to investigate. Someone who had called in the incident brought a camera and was able to film part of this incident.

The area this occurred looked to be on the side of a brick apartment building, maybe fifteen stories tall. If I can remember right there was even a bridge nearby. Anyways, the person behind the camera caught something moving on the side of the building and I think they even heard it growling or making some sort of noise. It lurked back in the shadows. as they zoomed in you could see this not-very-human-like creature literally scaling or clawing up the side of the wall.

Whatever it was- it was not any animal I had ever seen before. All I know is that I saw this once on TV and after that I never heard of or seen it again.

I remembered this TV report being from the very late 80’s or early 90’s and always thought it odd that nothing else was ever seen about it.

I have to admit I have no idea about this report but also know things like this happen and always are simply swept away never to be seen or heard of again.
