Phantom Dog Visits Man

My Story

I was on a road trip to Kerrville with my uncle to visit his aunts and cousins. The drive, about 4-6 hours with stops and car difficulties, wasn’t the worst. We even had a flat tire just 2 miles from the house.

When we arrived, we were exhausted but still managed to chat and have some drinks with our relatives. Inside, my cousin’s two dogs—a small one and a larger, short-furred one—came running up to me, sniffing curiously. My cousin’s mom called the dogs to bed and locked them in her room. By 4 am, everyone was asleep, and I finally settled into a recliner in the living room.

That’s when I heard it—clacking and footsteps. The clacking resembled the sound of a dog with uncut claws. I sat up in the chair and looked around, hearing panting behind me. Slowly, I turned and saw a large, fluffy dog. It was unfamiliar and moved strangely. The dog let me pet it and then vanished.

I planned to talk to my cousin about it in the morning, but when I woke up, he was gone, and so was the dog. His dogs didn’t come near me after that night. I secretly searched the whole house but found no trace of that mysterious dog. To this day, I still have no clue whose dog it was, or if it even was a dog at all.” -Anonymous
