The following investigation report was provided by researcher/author/podcaster and Phantoms &; Monsters Fortean Research team member Timothy Renner:&;quot;I‚ along with two friends‚ Octavian and Ian‚ arrived at Fishing Creek Nature Preserve in Drumore‚ Pennsylvania (Lancaster County) at 11:55 PM Saturday‚ April 13‚ 2024.We were there for a night hike. I did take my audio recorder with me because I always do‚ just in case something interesting happens for the podcast.We walked perhaps a mile or so‚ just enjoying the evening. At some point‚ we decided to turn around and start heading back to the car. Ian found two sticks that looked to be intentionally placed in an 'X' formation on a bank. I don't know if the X is related‚ but the strangeness started thereafter.We began hearing sounds we could not identify. This is not meant to be offensive‚ but the best comparison I can give is to that of a deaf person speaking. These were very low in volume – barely audible. We also heard lower kinds of grunting sounds both from across the creek and on the ridge above us.Whatever we were hearing seemed to be very responsive. In other words‚ after we heard something we would say out loud‚ &;quot;We heard that‚ make another sound&;quot; and whatever this was would repeat the sound or make another.Nothing was terribly loud at this point‚ but it was loud enough for us to hear. I have not had a chance to listen to the recorder audio so I do not know if it picked up anything.This continued‚ on and off‚ for most of our walk back to the car.At some point‚ Ian tried some tree knocks which seemed to be answered and we POSSIBLY had something thrown at us – it was difficult to tell because it was dark. We heard something hit next to us but it could have been something like a stick dropping from a tree.There was a very audible sound we heard which we thought at first was a motorcycle‚ then it didn't sound like a motorcycle but like some kind of cry‚ then it sounded like a motorcycle again‚ but at the end of the sound it sounded‚ once more like some kind of cry. All three of us noted this. If this was indeed a motorcycle‚ the sound seemed to emanate from the same area and repeat perhaps 5 times. So‚ were it a motorcycle‚ or more than one‚ it seemed to be going back to the same place and starting again – without the associated sounds of it looping back to the first location. It's hard to explain and hopefully‚ these sounds are on the recorder.As we approached the car we heard a kind of wheezing cough sound. Yes‚ like a fox. It could have been a fox‚ but this‚ too was responsive. When we asked it to repeat‚ it repeated. A large crash was heard in the woods from the same direction which sounded far too large for a fox.I am not eliminating the possibility that this sound was a fox‚ but some associated weirdness makes me wonder.When we got back to the vehicle‚ Octavian started up the car and turned the headlights on. I needed to relieve myself so I was at the right front of the vehicle. Not in the headlights‚ but there was plenty of light to see by.While I was doing this I saw a face pop out from behind a tree – about 10 feet away from me and down a slight bank. It looked a bit like a monkey face – it was very pale but not white. I think it would have been about 3 feet tall‚ give or take a few inches. I saw NO body and no head surrounding the face. Just the pale face against blackness‚ but it moved like it was connected to a head/body. It had small‚ black‚ beady eyes. We definitely locked eyes.I said &;quot;No&;quot; several times – first out of disbelief and then because I didn't really want it to come any closer. I didn't get a menacing or scary feeling from it – I just didn't want it to get any closer.It didn't react to my voice at all.It seemed to perhaps duck back behind the tree – or maybe just turn its head so I couldn't see the face anymore...I'm not sure which...and then it was gone. I didn't hear or see anything else. Octavian heard me say &;quot;no&;quot; and exited the vehicle. I was already down at the bank looking for any evidence (tracks‚ etc) and found none. We both noticed a smell of wet dog/excrement though.Ian‚ at this time‚ said he thought he observed movement across the creek‚ but couldn't be 100% sure.The tree it was behind was maybe 10-12&;quot; in diameter. It couldn't have hidden much. But again‚ I couldn't see its body or head...perhaps it was so black it blended in with the darkness. I do not know.The time of the sighting would have been approximately 1:13 am 4/14.&;quot; Timothy RennerThis is a photo of the 'X' Ian foundWEIRDEST OF THE WEIRD&;#33; | Join Us For LIVE CHAT | Questions &; Answers #Wolfman #DeerMan #BigfootLISTEN TO NARRATIONS OF PHANTOMS &; MONSTERS REPORTS &; CASES - PLEASE SUBSCRIBE‚ LIKE &; SHAREPHANTOMS &; MONSTERS RADIO Podcasts on SpotifyPHANTOMS &; MONSTERS READING LISTCHICAGO MOTHMAN / O'HARE BATMAN YouTube PlaylistHave you had a sighting or encounter&;#63;Contact me by email or call the hotline at 410-241-5974Thanks.

I received the following information from a Vietnamese reader describing his country's Sai Lang canine legends and the possible historical relevance of the tales. Please excuse the broken English.&;quot;Hi‚ Lon. I would like to tell you about the Sai Lang species of deadly canines in Vietnam.Nghe An is known as a land of extinct human beings but it seems that there are many talented people but devils‚ and epic ghosts are not less. I have never been here‚ and all the stories I heard are of relatives. They go out to play‚ and they tell again. Even my grandmother was born there didn't know because he had to go to the North since he was a child.&;quot;Sai Lang&;quot;‚ or people in the northern-north central region call Sai for short. Its name is a combination of 2 Chinese words‚ &;quot;Sai&;quot; meaning &;quot;wood in the forest&;quot; and &;quot;lang&;quot; meaning wolf dog. I don't know what this name is‚ but they say that it comes from a name in the legend of the species &;quot;Sai Kiu&;quot; - a freak dog breed that specializes in eating ethnic people‚ trained to transform into humans and capable of catching imitating the human voice. This species has been operating on the northern border of Vietnam and related provinces of China since the early 10th century. The predator kings had to send many officers‚ hire hunters‚ and even send dynasty wizards to destroy this monstrous species. Later‚ it can also be explained that it is a big wild dog breed‚ especially ferocious‚ or attacks people (because there are no wolves in Vietnam) so the people of that time imagined such a strange legend.Back to Sai Lang‚ the scenario of its appearance is completely different from Sai Kiu. Sai Lang appeared in the middle of the modern era when advanced technology was slowly dominating the world. The stories surrounding it‚ whether embroidered or recorded‚ cannot be denied to have extremely attractive appeal and persuasion. However‚ in the end‚ no one has given evidence of their existence.In 1945‚ our country fell into the most terrible famine in history. 2 million people starved to death‚ mostly in the northern provinces. Nghe An is not the center‚ but it is also heavily affected and many people have been in the same situation. Myself‚ my grandparents' family‚ if it wasn't for the landlord having food‚ to store‚ I probably wouldn't be here to tell stories to you.In the old days‚ raising dogs wasn't popular because people thought that they looked like thieves‚ but only rich people were afraid of thieves. the main purpose is to watch out for wild animals to catch chickens and ducks. People also say that dogs see the devil's soul‚ so keep it to drive away ghosts‚ and avoid accidents‚ and diseases. But until 1945‚ people could not eat. The corpses are all over the road‚ next to the tracks‚ garbage on the fields. Not to mention families with many children‚ seeing children starving or losing their mothers‚ losing their fathers to beg for food but feel pity. So the dogs are starting to get evicted from the house or sold to ease the burden. Many children are starving‚ more miserable than being slaughtered because of malnutrition in the same extreme. The number of dead people is increasing day by day‚ so the number of stray dogs is getting more and more numerous ....At that time‚ those who died on the side of the road usually left in the same place or gathered in a pile‚ then waited for people to dig big holes to bury at the same time. Simply because they are mostly people from other provinces who come here for free‚ no relatives like them. If I don't go anymore‚ I'll die of hunger. The people here worry about their own family that has suffered‚ why worry about the strange dead bodies out there&;#63; They lost their strength‚ suffering to provide rest for others is already very humanitarian.Strangely‚ after the famine‚ the phenomenon of disappearing corpses begins to appear. Just after one night‚ the pile of corpses was thrown to the ground‚ then wandering around‚ someone lost legs‚ someone lost hands. Those who just die on the side of the road also have the same fate. Their bodies are bitten apart‚ eaten up so many parts. Worse‚ mass graves were also dug up to hang the corpses. Around those places‚ there are a lot of dog footprints‚ both big and small. People are starting to panic. They quickly figured out the cause of the hungry stray dogs. In the past‚ this region has many stories. Elephants‚ ponds‚ and bears caused death. But the dogs‚ eating human meat story is really horrible and has never had precedent.And then its climax came. That day was the full moon of January in 1945. The 5-year-old daughter of a blessed family was climbed by a big dog over the roof‚ jumped into the window‚ and stole away. The maid looked and heard the noise‚ turned around‚ and saw a big black dog like a tiger‚ eyes bright red like fire‚ mouth tightened the throat of the baby. When the sister lost her mind‚ the dog ran out behind the garden‚ jumped over the fence wall higher than the human head‚ and died in the night. The family ran out‚ lit the torch‚ and searched for it all night but didn't find any remains...The next day‚ a night watchman came to the district office to report about the odd thing that happened last night that he was guarding. Specifically‚ when I was beating the 3rd alarm‚ I heard a lot of noise outside the rice field. I saw from the forest‚ the herd of stray dogs compete in the village. In the middle of the night‚ we screamed people's scary noises and Phi went to look for dead bodies‚ then stole chickens and pigs from the people to go back to the forest. The soldier was so scared that he didn't dare to leave the guard‚ sitting there all night.The attacks are getting more intense. After the end of the hunger strike‚ the dead bodies are no more‚ and the dogs attack people even more crazily. They started calling them Sai Lang‚ meaning fierce as a wolf but not a wolf. They claim that these are the dogs that eat too many human carcasses‚ then start to get used to the smell and attack the desert village‚ grabbing children to eat meat. Others are supposed to be the soul of the starving dead entering the dog's corpse to go on a rampage. Nobody dares to stand against them anyway. For they are willing to turn around to kill and savage you if you resist.According to some old people‚ Sai Lang has different characteristics than normal dogs. They are usually thin with ribs showing (a symptom of hunger). Their teeth and mouths are longer and sharper to pull meat from dead bodies. Sai Lang's eyes are the easiest to recognize. Dog's eyes usually turn blue when you put the light on it‚ right&;#63; Sai Lang's eyes don't need to project anything‚ they shine brightly in the night. The blue eyes are normal. They usually only eat flesh and steal chicken and ducks. Yellow amber eyes are the heads. They love to attack and eat alive people‚ especially children. The last species is the Red Eye Ghost. These are the ones who have become devils‚ and have a great hatred towards humans. Her eyes are red like fire and her body is a terrifying size. They don't follow the pack‚ they hunt alone like a tiger. It actively attacks humans‚ kills‚ and tears the flesh instead of eating. If they haunt the house‚ it's not good.There are so many unbelievable elements in the myth of the Sai Lang species that one thinks it only exists in fantasy. Whether it exists or not‚ it also represents the horrific and painful picture of the 1945 historical period of our nation.&;quot; TBI later came across the following information:&;quot;I'm originally from Vietnam and this is a folklore that was told to me by my late grandparents.This happened during the Vietnam's Great Famine in 1945. According to government statistics‚ the famine caused 2 million deaths in northern Vietnam‚ while international documents estimate the death toll at around 1 million‚ or approximately 8 percent of the population. Families started to eat their house pets which included dogs. A lot of dogs escaped to the woodland causing the increase in the wild dogs' population. Those dogs also have to deal with hunger and start to scavenge and dig out graves to feed on corpses.One day‚ one little girl was snatched and killed by an extremely large dog with black fur and red shining eyes. People started to notice the change in the wild dogs with the attacks growing in numbers. There were three types of wild dogs:Blue Eyes: The normal one‚ stick with scavenging.Yellow eyes: The Alpha of a pack‚ very aggressive‚ will attack and kill people if needed.Red Eyes: The Sai Lang‚ the name can be translated as &;quot;Evil Dog&;quot;. Sharing traits with the American Dogmen. They are very intelligent‚ walking on 2 legs occasionally‚ and extremely aggressive. People believed that they were the house dogs who held a grudge against humans for eating dogs‚ also they ate way too much human meat and somehow got &;quot;evolved&;quot; in a bizarre way. Some even believe they have supernatural abilities and if they pick a house or a family to be the target‚ they will go all the way to harass and attack until the last person of that family is dead.And that's the folklore/urban legend‚ I can't say how many percentage of truth is in it but we did have a slang in Vietnamese coming from this folklore‚ &;quot;Ac nhu Sai Lang&;quot; which can be translated to &;quot;You are such an Evil Dog&;quot; to describe an extremely evil person.&;quot; TTWEIRDEST OF THE WEIRD&;#33; | Join Us For LIVE CHAT | Questions &; Answers #Wolfman #DeerMan #BigfootLISTEN TO NARRATIONS OF PHANTOMS &; MONSTERS REPORTS &; CASES - PLEASE SUBSCRIBE‚ LIKE &; SHAREPHANTOMS &; MONSTERS RADIO Podcasts on SpotifyPHANTOMS &; MONSTERS READING LISTCHICAGO MOTHMAN / O'HARE BATMAN YouTube PlaylistHave you had a sighting or encounter&;#63;Contact me by email or call the hotline at 410-241-5974Thanks.
