A Manitoba provincial grader operator observes a dark creature among the poplar trees near his job site. He was able to capture a few photos‚ and the best image was submitted."This last summer I was operating a grader in a municipality that borders the northern provincial forest and this area of the province is as beautiful as it is wild. There are many drainages creeks and small rivers that all get their momentum and run towards the bordering low-level land of Manitoba.I was down on the river bottom attempting to widen the easement up to the bridge and make the grid road a little better up to the crossing. As I was going back and forth and turning around for a couple hours I noticed something out of the corner of my eye. As I backed the grader onto the approach I thought I saw something black as night sitting above this beaten game trail. I looked again and it was gone. No harm‚ no foul. I plated it off as a bear or something as this was beside the river.I began to cross the bridge and ascend the valley. I was in back into the flats of the farmland about half a mile from the bridge. As I was cresting the hill I thought I saw something hop or jump over this grid road. This was one of the major grids in the area and I thought to myself it would have been an Olympic jump for an elk at a full run. But regardless I got my phone out to hopefully get a picture of whatever animal it was. For those of you that don't know when you're sitting in a grader your head sits around 8 to 9 feet up so you have an amazing view of everything.I slowed the grater down to a complete stop and thought to myself as to where did this thing go. All the while having my phone unlocked and my camera ready it was within 3 seconds of looking my stomach dropped. I was looking into the eyes of something trying to hide behind two popular trees. We locked eyes for what seemed like 5 minutes‚ probably no more than one to two‚ and we just stared at each other. It slowly turned sideways and‚ like that‚ disappeared. I was able to get a couple of photos on my phone that I'd like to share with everyone. I'm like you‚ I think a photo is just a photo and I'm not saying that it's to be the end all‚ but let everyone make their own judgment.After a long ponder that the thing I saw near the bridge was probably a young curious juvenile watching me from the bank. I say this because it would have otherwise had to cross this deep vast river with all the thick foilage and run half a mile up the hill through thick brush‚ flank me‚ and hop the road all within about 30 seconds."Transcribed Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oFHdYZPp5PcEncounters with Flying Humanoids: Mothmans‚ Manbirds‚ Gargoyles &; Other Winged BeastsWeird Winged Wonders: The Twilight World Of Cryptid CreaturesMonsters Among Us: An Exploration of Otherworldly Bigfoots‚ Wolfmen‚ Portals‚ Phantoms‚ and Odd PhenomenaThe Big Breakthrough: Confronting UFOs‚ Men in Black‚ Mothman‚ and Mysterious Humanoids - Trojan Horses of a Breakaway Civilization?Angels: Who They Are‚ What They Do‚ and Why It MattersAlchemy &; MysticismDaily Guidance from Your Angels Oracle Cards: 44 cards plus bookletRegister a SNAP EBT CardTry Audible PlusPHANTOMS &; MONSTERS READING LISTHave you had a sighting or encounter?Contact me by email or call the hotline at 410-241-5974Thanks.
