In the fall of 1991, two friends and I decided to go to a liquor store and ask someone to buy us a pint of alcohol. We weren't of legal age yet, so we needed to get people who were of legal age to go and buy it for us. We did this two or three times a week. The small town we live in (Mantachi, MS) leaves you alone most of the time, as long as you don't bother anyone.

We took a drink and went to a Park in this small town. We go to the Park for a drink from time to time, but this evening was different. We pulled up to the Park and started to get out of the truck. We haven't opened the booze yet, so the booze hasn't affected us.

I was sitting in the middle, and my friend was getting out of the passenger door. When he came out and I came out, I heard the sound of a tennis ball Bouncing on the tennis court. I looked and saw this figure Bouncing a tennis ball.

The figure was about 6 feet (1.8 m) tall and was wearing a dark cloak. It seemed to me that he had some kind of bag on his back. Me and my friend who got out of the truck saw this figure and told the truck driver to take a look. He did and saw the same thing. In the blink of an eye, we jumped back into the truck and headed down the road to find out what we had seen.

We went a few miles away, and in the distance we saw a large bat-like creature approaching us.

He was a few feet away from us, but you could see the red glowing eyes. It passed right in front of our windshield and disappeared into the darkness. We rushed to one of our houses and didn't drink that night. We didn't do anything but stay there all night.

I'm a skeptic when it comes to the paranormal, but I know what I've seen.

Summary:  In the Fall of 1991 me and two of my friends decided to go to the liquor store and get someone to buy us a pint of booze. We were not yet of age so we had to get people who were of age to go in and buy it for us. We did this two or three times a week. The small town we live in (Mantachie, MS) most of the time leaves you alone as long as you are not bothering anyone. We got the booze and headed to the park in this small town. We go to the park to have a drink every once and a while but this night was different. We pulled up to the park and started to get out of the truck. We had not yet opened the booze so the booze did not influence us. I was sitting in the middle and my friend was getting out of the passenger’s side door. When he got out and I got out, I noticed the sound of a tennis ball bouncing on the tennis court. I looked and saw this figure bouncing a tennis ball. The figure was around 6 foot tall and was wearing a dark cloak. It looked to me that he had some sort of pouch on his back. Me and my friend who got out of the truck saw this figure and told the driver of the truck to look. He did and saw the same thing. In a flash we jumped back into the truck and headed down the road to figure out what we had seen. We got a few miles away and in the distance we saw coming at us a large bat-like creature. It was several feet away from us but you could make out the red glowing eyes. It passed right in front of our windshield and vanished in the darkness. We rushed to one of our houses and didn’t drink that night. We didn’t do anything but stay there all night. I am a skeptic when it comes to the paranormal but I do know what I saw.
