Woman Reports Unsettling Series of Strange Events Following Winged Creature Sighting in North Carolina
Since then, Boyd said she’s had several people tell her they’ve seen the same all-white flying humanoid with batlike wings in the area.
“Other people in this area have had similar sightings,” she said. “A friend I went to high school with told me she saw it probably around 2003 or 2004 at night driving home. My sister even claimed to have seen it about a year ago close by where I live now. And to be honest, I haven’t talked to her too much about it because to think it may be close by me now scares the hell out of me.”
The month after her sighting, Boyd had a frightening experience involving a Ouija board. It was December, and she had a friend staying the night who expressed interest in the divinatory device. The two girls decided to bring out the board and, while they were using it, “the wind started picking up outside and a dog starting howling.”
“It felt heavy in the room,” Boyd said.
Shortly thereafter, the board spelled “GET OUT.”
Immediately ill at ease, the girls decided to stop.
“I actually threw it away not long after,” Boyd told Wayland. “[…] And until you asked [if I had experienced anything else unusual before or after my sighting], I didn’t really consider a connection to my sighting and this experience.”
Following her encounter with the winged creature, Boyd found herself suddenly afraid of things she had been perfectly comfortable with before.
For a long time after the incident, I had nightmares. Not just about what happened but other really bizarre nightmares. Sometimes I would wake up and feel like someone was watching me from my bedroom window. My window was about 10-12 feet from the ground though.
I also wouldn’t go outside at night for a while. And I was a girl who loved being outside and would even camp out on our trampoline to fall asleep under the stars. But for about a year or so after, I just didn’t feel safe at night alone outside. Again, sometimes I felt as if I was being watched.
While the coloration of the creature reported by Boyd may be unusual, it is not without precedent.
In 2020, The Singular Fortean Society was contacted by California resident Richard Polk, who said that on a foggy night in the fall of 2009 he had an unusual run-in with a white winged humanoid in La Habra.
In addition, the Society has received two other reports of similar creatures attacking motor vehicles.
One from Waukegan, Illinois, in 1976, and another from near Silverstone, North Carolina, in 1986.
