- Apelike Creature Reported in Angol (9th Region, Chile)
- By Raul Gajardo Lepold and Sigrid Grothe
-
- According to information in our files, we can say that
Mr. Luis B.T., a well-known jeweler and native artisan of the 9th Region,
retold a strange experience that befell his son-in-law in the winter of
2006.
-
- Luis's son-in-law, a truck driver with an erratic schedule,
could not believe what he was seeing on the road in June 2006 near midnight
between a stretch of road from Los Angeles to Muchén. On that day
he wasn't carrying an assistant, so there are no other witnesses to his
observation. But he does remember driving at an average speed without any
further remarks. Suddenly, on a particular stretch of road on which no
other cars were present, he noticed that there was a strange animal on
his right, on the blacktop. It was very still and had the appearance
of an ape, with short arms and long legs. He managed to hit the brakes
about 10 meters from this animal, but the simian creature did not make
a move and slowly turned its head toward the truck. That's when the driver noticed
that its eyes were sparkling red, and that the configuration or fur
on its body was very odd, covered by something similar to short whitish
feathers.
-
- The trucker felt a shudder of fear, faced with such an
strange situation. He stopped the engine and allowed several seconds to
elapse, with the creature staring at him as he quaked with fear. The animal
walked slowly and crossed the road, never taking its eyes off the driver.
As the witness recalls, the simian entity was thickset, stood approximately
over one meter tall, had a head proportioned to its body and a large muzzle.
It made no sound whatsoever. At no time did its extremities touch the pavement
and it maintained itself upright throughout, like a small man.
- The driver was able to get a good look at the creature
and kept his headlights on at all time. He added that the creature's attitude
was defiant throughout the event, while passive.
-
- An effort is being made at this time to compile more
information regarding this strange experience, which remained unpublished
and under strict family secrecy.
