“Back in late 2013, my family was working in the oilfield in Dilley, Texas. Because we had kids we decided to rent an old house off Martin Branch Rd. (It used to be an old chicken farm.) One evening my dogs were going nuts, so I went outside to see what was getting them all hyped up, but didn’t see anything.
After going to check on both dogs, I turned around to head back to the front porch and in front of me kinda crouched down next to a tree, was a human-sized and shaped, black creature. It stopped me dead in my tracks, and it appeared to be looking right at me (although I couldn’t see its face.) It then made a snort or sniffing sound and jumped straight up into the air.
That’s when I realized it had a long black jacket that covered almost the entire length of its body. After what seemed like an eternity (in actuality it was probably more a matter of 30 seconds or less) the fear in me let up enough that I could move, and I turned the flashlight that I’d been holding the whole time on and shined it up into the trees. Because that was the only thing that made sense, was that it had to of jumped into the tree. But nothing. It was gone. I never saw it again and thought I was crazy for the longest.” -Shannon
I’ve lived in Dilley all my life. One night we had a birthday party that went well through the night up until the wee hours in the morning. I was sitting in down on a bench and standing in front of me was my husband (only he wasn’t my husband YET) and my cousin, I had this very weird feeling like someone was looking at us I have no idea what would make me look up but flying above us was this huge creature that looked exactly like you described. I was so taken back by what the hell I was seeing I couldn’t speak I was trying to tell my husband and cousin to look up but the words would not come out so I started pointing only my husband was able to catch a glimpse of what I had seen and it was such an ugly thing to have experienced or seen. I never saw anything like this again but one thing is for sure I will never forget this day!
