📝 Description

Now my story, which I still struggle with understanding. I am not convinced there was a creature but I can�t find a good explanation for my initial thoughts or experience. My experience happened in April of 2023. That night I was up gaming on my computer at 2 am. I had turned the sound down just enough that, if my boys were in bed, I wouldn�t have disturbed them. It was still decently loud however.I always bring in the cats at night because I�ve lost a few to coyotes and cars in the dark. I also have a hole in the foundation of the house that was knocked out to treat it for termites years ago that the cats like to crawl through and hang out under the floor. This night, at first, I thought one was still outside. As I was gaming, I started hearing this real deep growl that sounded similar to one of my cats. You know, sometimes cats will do deeper growls as an initial warning and get louder pitched as the threat advances. The sound seemed muffled so I assumed my cat was under the house growling at the neighbor�s cat. I ignored it knowing there was no way I�d be able to get my cat in until he ventured out from under the house. The growling grew louder and less muffled. At some point the sound went from this muffled growl to a growl to, what I can only describe as a cow in distress. At least, that is what I initially thought as it�s the only thing close I could compare it to. At this point it was loud and sounded like it was right outside my office window, about 4 feet from my desk. I had turned off my speaker to listen because at this point I was completely bewildered to what I was listening to. Was a cow attacking my cat? What the hell was going on? Was it even a cow ? We do have cows across the street on the hillside but I never hear them from in the house, and this sounded right outside my window. I started questioning if it was a cow and knowing that there wasn�t anything out here that posed a threat to me, and fearing for what I presumed was my cat facing off some unknown creature, I flew to my feet to run outside. For whatever reason as I got up I glanced at my office window. The curtains were open, and I froze. Staring at me were a set of "eyes". Around that time all the noise stopped. There is no way to truly explain the shock and terror I felt. These eyes were watching me rather at a side glance. We held gaze for a couple of seconds. As I stared back I saw them completely turn and glide away. I grabbed my cell phone and tried to calmly leave the room to a no window area, which was difficult as all my windows on that side of the house had open curtains. I honestly thought it was a �person� because my initial thought was a peeping tom. Honestly, originally I thought it was my creepy neighbor and just assumed he had been snooping. Then I realized that was unlikely, that he wouldn't have held my gaze but probably hide, so it must have been my oldest son�s friends out drinking beer in the driveway and screwing with me. It was a Friday night after all. I ran upstairs to find my youngest son. Just needed to be around someone, maybe get him to go outside and tell them to knock it off as I was still deeply startled. Upon reaching the top of the stairs, I found both of my boys asleep and that�s when I started to panic so I called my 3rd boy. As I recounted the story I realized, whatever was outside my window wasn�t human because the eyes were a luminescent yellow green� and I was totally dumbfound and relieved. Maybe it was a deer... The next day, still deeply troubled by the experience, I finally got up the nerve to venture outside and look under the window. Nothing. No tracks or any indication of anything was under my window. I measured where those eyes hit and if said creature was standing flush with the glass it would have stood about 6 feet tall. I am assuming, because he wasn�t right at the window, whatever it was may have been taller. I don�t know why my brain thought �human� as all I saw were �eyes�. I�ve replayed this experience over and over and still cannot completely rationalize what happened. I�ve gone over tons of animal sounds. Thinking back, the growl proceeded into that cow bleating like sound. Haven�t been able to find anything that could do both. I've considered lighting bugs, but the temperature dropped that night to 45*. We don't have many lighting bugs in April here, and even less at 2 am.All 3 of my boys have had other odd experiences around here in the past 3 years here but I'm unsure if they are related.
