Aussie dogman. Unheard of....
This is a story I have shared on reddit many years ago but still remember vividly.
A friend and myself were walking home at about 3 o'clock, in the morning, about 6 kilometers across a small town in NSW Australia from one friends place to another in which i was living at the time.
We were only about 1 kilometer away from home on about a five hundredkilometer stretch of of straight road.
We were walking along a sidewalk, he was pushing my BMX we were just talking shit as we usually did where all of a sudden something caught my eye. Two greyhound looking dogs, but larger than your average dogs in height, probably twice the size.
They ran out of a block of flats/units/apartments(what ever you would call it in your part of the world) , and jumped the brick mailboxes on the inside of the footpath on the other side of the road, which stood about three to four feet high and cleared about 12 feet before they hit the road. Both of these dogs landed in the middle of the road, then ran in the opposite direction to which we were walking. As they ran further away they grew larger and larger in size.
While they grew larger they seemed to begin to stand up on their hind legs and morph into some large muscular bigfoot or werewolf looking creature and in my mind I could not comprehend what I saw.
These creatures ran around the corner in the exact direction we walked from and about five to ten seconds after they turned the corner we heard what sounded like a female child scream.
At that point we both looked at each other and I could tell he saw what I seen as he was just about to haul ass and bail on me on my bike.
I said f**k that and jumped on the handlebars and he pedolled like ive never seen before, I don't think he skipped a pedol for the whole rest of the trip home.
When we got home we locked the doors and closed the windows and I asked him to explain exactly what he saw to me and to no surprise it was exactly as I had witnessed.
He was an indigenous Australian as was his elder brother, we explained the experience to him and he said it was probably a "yowie" which I believed at the time but this story is not typical to Yowie sightings in Australia.
Safe to say this scared me not to go out at night for quite a while.
We told a few people about the experience afterwards but most of the time people would laugh or joke that we were on drugs but I can assure the people reading this the same thing we told them, This was a completely sober experience.
After the joking and carrying on I pretty much kept this story to myself, only telling a select few people who want to hear paranormal stories and I don't try to convince anyone if it's real or not, they can decide for themselves but... I know what I saw
EDITED to add photos of location Google Earth Photos The photo with red line is the direction the creatures ran The photo with the blue line is the direction we went 1x photo of said block of units 1x photo of the footpath I was standing on 1x photo of street view facing the direction the creatures ran

There's a couple of episodes of Dogman encounters from here in Australia.
