Supernatural experiences!!

I had weird experiences when I was younger.

Was walking my dog through the woods one day. My dog started sniffing this area along the trail. There was a hill, and I looked up the hill as I stood there holding onto the dog leash. Then I saw it - at the top in the shadows of the treeline there was a massive animal. It was obscured by the shadows but I could see its outline. At the time I thought it was a bear. It seemed hunched over, and stared at me for what seemed an eternity. I was in shock and wasn't moving. Then it moved one of its feet forward, and as it did the foot kind of curled, like a bear's foot. The foot moved into the sunlight above the trail, out of the shadow of the treeline, and it seemed to be covered in thick fur. I dropped the dog leash and ran. I really thought I was dead. My adrenaline kicked in. It's the fastest I think I've ever run. My dog followed me, thinking it was a game or something. He never saw the animal at the top of the hill because he had been sniffing the leaves at the bottom the entire time.

I later realized the scent my dog had picked up at the bottom of the hill was from this animal. What's strange is that when I think back it's hard for me to remember what it really looked like, it's very strange. I can remember the movement it made with its paw/foot/whatever, but it's very hazy memory.

One day I was outside and a massive bird flew right over my head. Biggest bird I've ever seen. I didn't get a real good look at it. The only reason I looked up is because a massive shadow engulfed me and had blocked out the sun. Suddenly everything was dark, and I could see the massive outline on the ground. I looked up, and briefly saw it fly over me. I thought it was a bald eagle. I didn't get a very good look at it - it swooped down right over me and then disappeared.

Later during nighttime if I looked out into the woods I could see two very large red lights - always in the same place. No one lived down there, there was no road, no buildings, nothing. Whatever it was appeared once in a while and would then disappear.

When I saw the movie THE MOTHMAN PROPHECIES I realized perhaps this was what I had seen...

This was right before September 11th. After 9/11 I don't recall ever seeing it again.

And it wasn't an overactive imagination - the encounter I had in the woods was one of the scariest things ever. And maybe it was just a bear all along - but the fact that I saw it yet can't remember any specifics about it, and the whole memory is so hazy, is very strange to me. I can remember it so distinctly and yet at the same time I can't remember it at all.
