Black Dog

(This is a personal experience)

The occurrence happened to me about three years ago when I was in grade six. I live in a pretty rural area, there being an empty field across from our house and the closest neighbors about 20 meters down the road (so there not that far away)

Anyway, my brother and I were at the end of our driveway waiting for the bus. It was about 7:00 in mid-February so it was fairly foggy outside, this usually doesn't bother me though but for some reason I felt unaccustomedly frightened. I was looking out past the road and into the field when about 40 meters out I saw this black dog-or that's the closest I can come to describing it. It was about the size of a large Great Dane, but was literally skin and bones.

The chilling thing was that when ever I looked directly at the 'dog' or whatever it was the thing started to trot (for lack of better words) towards me. Every time I looked away and than looked back at it, the thing was back at the place where it started, and then it started towards me again.

I was really begining to freak out at this point, I turned to my brother and pointed it out to him. This freaked him out and the dog was getting really close to us at this point so we ran back to the house. My brother later told me that he saw the thing literally disappear as we were running.

Anyway, no one in the area owned a large black dog at the time, and no one had spotted one either. I've heard of the dead coming back as black dogs so maybe it was something like that. Sorry for boring you and all

peace

luv ya

bye bye
