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?

@oakleaffy

This???
Thanks - that picture has put the willies up me!

If it's def not a Thin Bear I am going for the sensible suggestion of a standing-up fallow deer.
They have fallow deer round them parts.

I can’t stop laughing at “can’t touch this”. And naked rambler for a skinwalker

Wendigos are pretty damn freaky as well.

What a night for this thread!

Ori18 · 20/02/2022 20:22

Unfortunately you saw the Devil. Or a deer on its hind legs - which is more likely. But @Laiste’s post just as nice has freaked me the fudge out Shock

Ori18 · 20/02/2022 20:23

Sorry just above, not just as nice!! Nothing nice about that first image in the weblink on Skinwalkers

Mr Tumnus?

WonderfulYou · 20/02/2022 20:38

Can you and your DP both draw separate drawings but don’t look at each other’s while you’re doing it?

It would be interesting to see how different/similar your drawings are and hopefully the real thing will be a mixture of the two.

I’ve never heard of this! It sounds so much fun!

WonderfulYou · 20/02/2022 20:46

Isn’t there a zoo close by?
I wonder if something escaped years ago.

Or there was a thread a while back about how many people in the UK have exotic animals.
Any of them could have escaped a long time ago but they didn’t report it.

Mostlyjustrunning · 20/02/2022 20:46

It’s really good fun 😁

@Squiff70

Sounds like one mother of a gigantic hare to me!

Easterbunnyiswindowshopping · 20/02/2022 21:14

Google tells me there were Bigfoot sightings in your area in 2018 op.

@NetballHoop

Was it Jacob Reese Mogg running home before nanny told him off for being late?

Katya213 · 20/02/2022 21:22

Could you kind of draw it as it’s the legs description that I’m finding hard to imagine! Please!🙏🏻

Was 'Wallaby starting something' by Michael Jackson on the car radio if in the Midlands.

kittensinthekitchen · 20/02/2022 21:35

What was the position of its front legs/arms?

😂😂 If it's a wallaby, it's definitely started something with this thread!

Urgh, I have the creeps now 😬

dipdye · 20/02/2022 21:50

My parents once saw something EXACTLY like you've described. But in Lancashire. Where let's face it, anything goes

burnthur5t · 20/02/2022 21:52

The wallaby that has been seen twice recently in Kenilworth is twenty five miles away, white and quite small. OP says 6ft and not white
