I was only 16yrs old when i had a weird experience in the the local wood. I was with 4 of my friends when i saw something running towards me at speed, it was half man and half animal. i shouted that something was coming towards us and we all turned and ran down the steep incline towards the path that ran past the park tennis courts. I was first down the bank but slipped and fell due to panicking. the thing threw something at me and i felt pain in my left thigh. By the time i got to my feet this monstrosity reached out to get hold of me but as luck would have it i managed to get up and sprint away from it. It was like nothing i had ever seen and really scary i am convinced it was not of this world it was more like an alien like predator like in the films that were released.

Shortly after this experience one of my friends present told me he had had a weird experience also and it happened just a couple of nights previously to my sighting, although this seemed more scary as he told me the details. My mate paul lived 3 miles away in a hotel and he used to walk home on the lonely unlit road every night at about the same time. As he walked home a car pulled up alongside of him and the door opened for him to get in for a lift, he noticed in the moonlight that the car was a white jaguar saloon and he just shouted and told the driver he was ok and that he was nearly home and set off walking again.

Suddenly the white jag pulled away and stopped a few yards in front of him wherein the door on the passenger side opened again for him to enter, Explaining out loud he shouted again that he was nearly home but as he gazed inside the car there was no driver.

He was terrified and leapt over a steel tube fence into a field and ran for his life. In a couple of minutes he was on the main road to the hotel and managed to bang on the door of the hotel for his father to let him in when again the car was at his side. He nearly collapsed with shock but luckily the hotel door opened and the car vanished into the night.

Weeks later he was in a fatal accident and sadly lost his life. I believe that car was from the afterlife and was on a trial run to meet him for it was an identical car that i encountered in my near death experience i have wrote recently on archive x. it was no coincidence to see that same car as paul did on that eerie night.
