My interest was first sparked when I was walking with my friend Nick one night and we were talking about superstitions. The blood around the moon spawned our conversation, which soon turned into an interesting story about paranormal events. We began exchanging experiences that we have had. While I was explaining why I didnt like walking alone at night Nick mentioned that he didnt blame me. He said he had seen creatures at the lake, which is right where he lives. His house lays right on the edge of the trail leading to the lake and is roughly ¼ a mile from my house.
As our conversation continued Nick explained a creature to me, one I had never heard of, which in turn caught my interest even more. He started off telling me about the first night he met this creature, who he has recently named Hiatus. He said he was at the lake sitting on the edge of the dock. As he was sitting he was looking straight ahead of him at the other side of the lake. His concentration was disrupted when he heard a plopping sound. When he looked down he saw what seemed to be little pebbles being thrown and landing perfectly aligned with each other directly in front of him. The first one that he actually saw landed about an inch in front of him in the water. The last pebble landed about 1½ to 2 feet in front of him in the water. Altogether three were thrown. After the first few, three more landed in the exact same spots as the other three. This time, however, they were landing in the water coming towards him instead of going away.
As anyone would he looked around to see where the rocks were coming from. When he looked to his right he saw a dark figure standing about 25 feet away on the rocks at the edge of the water. He didnt get a clear glimpse of the creature at first, so he just assumed it was a man in a black suit and white hat. After being a little freaked out at the fact that there was someone watching him, and allegedly throwing rocks at him (with very precise aim) he decided to leave the dock and go home.
While he was walking off the dock he got very nervous and instead of walking up the trail (which wraps around two dividers descending to the lake) He ran straight up the hill and right to the main path that led to the parking lot. Once he got to the top of the hill and onto the main trail; to his surprise the creature was standing 3 feet in front of him off to the side. This time he got a much better view of it and described him as a tall, well built man. He said that the black was either very tight clothing, or it was its skin and what he had determined as the white hat was really its face and was absolutely featureless. The black skin ran all the way up the creatures neck all the way around its head only exposing what would be its face.
This is when he explained to me that he suspected there are two of them. One is a very intelligent one, and the other was more instinctive one, almost like a pet, or so he said. The reason he suspected this was because the first one he saw (the one throwing the pebbles) held himself like a gentleman. He said he held himself in a very non-hostile way. He would also get this very strong sense that Hiatus (the dominant one) knows exactly what he is doing and why.
The animalistic one, which Nick ran into at the trail, seemed to act much more on instinct. When Nick reached the main path the creature was just as stunned as Nick was. He said it probably wasnt expecting him to run up the hill and was startled. Which is why it immediately ran away after he realized Nick was there.
He also stressed the fact that these creatures were fast, and seemed to defy the laws of physics and gravity. He said when the creature turned to run away that the image was nothing but a blur. (He had me swing my hand in front of my face as fast as I could to better explain what he meant.) He said it was nothing but a streak. And when he ran there was no sound.
Apparently there have been many occurrences involving Hiatus and the other being. The most memorable for Nick and his friends was what he explained as singing. A while back several of our friends and Nick were walking around the lake. About, 100 yards into the trail, on the left side there is an opening where all the shrubbery has been ripped out. Its about 40 yards wide, 40 yards deep and ascends at a 30-degree angle from the trail. At the edge of the trail in the opening was a rock.
As my friends were walking by this particular part of the trail, Nick for some reason wanted to sit down on the rock. He said he had an uncontrollable urge to sit down. He tried to explain that Hiatus had told him to sit down on the rock, and that he just did what he was told. After sitting down he said he heard what sounded like someone blowing rhythmically across the lip of an empty bottle, or jug. But it was continuous and was musical, or beautiful as Nick explained it. He also said that it sounded like there was more then one. Our other friend Maria who was standing next to him and said she could faintly hear it too.
Later that day, two of our other friends (Jonathan and Mike) were walking towards the end of the trail on the other side of the lake (once you reach the end of the other side its nothing but a bridge, then the parking lot.) When both of them got a strange urge to go up the hill towards the housing development, which was to the left of them and completely out of their way. As they were walking up the trail Mike started to get a very uncomfortable feeling, but continued walking, halfway up the hill the feeling became stronger, almost overwhelming. Both Mike and Jonathan became very uncomfortable but decided to continue up the hill. Finally Mike felt a strong pressure on his chest, he said it felt like something was pushing him backwards. They both explained it as a barrier, but more forceful. He was being pushed backwards.
The next day Mike had a large marking on his chest. It looked as though it had been scratched into his skin and from what they explained to me was a tribal looking humanoid figure.
