What did we see last night..?

We had been away for a few nights and travelled back quite late. Towards the end of our journey, this was about 2am, we were driving along an A road in a rural area when something crossed the road in front of us in full headlights for about 3 seconds. It was about the height of a person, maybe 6 feet or over, but had short powerful legs and hips which seemed to move in a circular fluid fashion. It was not a deer because it stood on two legs. This was in the midlands and the area is traditional rolling fields and woodland. In this particular spot there are no houses or buildings, nearest is over a mile away. We drove back today as its only 7 miles from home to look at the road layout and whatever it was moved into a wide bowl shaped field dropping down to a stream. Any ideas?

@WonderfulYou

If it was just outside Staverton I’m pretty sure it was my dad staggering back from the pub

I don’t think there is anything uncontroversially real that fits your description.

So either you have had an experience that would interest cryptozoology types, or you’ve misinterpreted what you saw.

The latter is more likely imo, even if it’s a boring answer.

We live near Staverton and the white wallaby has been spotted fairly local, I know you have said it's not that but could it be?

Beth13579 · 20/02/2022 19:06

Minotaur?

MrsRhettButler · 20/02/2022 19:09

"From MC Hammer to Minotaur - an anthology of creatures lurking at night".

Let's write the book, MNers. Grin

The wind is getting up outside- and it’s dark (England)
This thread is quite eerie
What lurks out there in the dark?

Apart from my Whippet who has just popped out for a wee in garden..

TatianaBis · 20/02/2022 19:21

Obviously the devil.
