This one has bothered me for some years, and I’m just looking for a answer. I have lived near the wilderness all my life and seen some strange stuff, but this one is probably the most wierd:
One time I was on a mountain with my dog, suddenly the dog started to bark and run around like crazy, calling her name didn’t do anything, so I decided to walk down again. When I came down to the forest the dog still barked like heck, I heard her from near and far. She had never acted like this before and we have encountered everything from bears to rabbits.
When I had walked over a swamp I heard my dog closing in on my position so I turned around.
It is what I saw than that bothers me, I saw two large legs walking about 3-5 meters in front of me, it also looked like it had some sort of hooves or something. I aint joking, there was no upper body or anything else, I was stunned. When the dog came near it, it just ran very fast and without a sound. The legs or what ever would be about 1meter – 1 and a half meters long and hairy.
A person I know claims he saw the same thing in his garden when he was a kid, he lived in the same valley as where I saw this. I know this sounds crazy, but is there any reasonable answer to this? I’m pretty sure I saw what I saw, since it was so close but what could it be?
Sorry about this being so long and my bad English.

Hello Kikkan,
You might have seen the bottom half of a satyr, also known as a fawn. They are supposed to be mythological creatures, the top half human and the bottom half the legs of a goat. What they are is elemental beings, nature spirits.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pan_%28mythology%29 and if you do a search on google for ‘satyr’ or ‘mythological God Pan’ or ‘fawn’ you’ll find lots of photos.
I hope this helps,
Love & Peace

A close friend of mine told me something his grandfather saw one afternoon. He was making fire in an oven at a local house where folks gather sometimes.
than as this grandfather where doing his stuff in this house, a man came inside, this man would be a Pentacostal preacher who drifted from place to place. after a little talk, this preacher asked if he could sleep a little bit on the floor or something, (i dont remember where). the grandfather said yes and this preacher laid down and took a blanket over himself. When this grandfather was about to leave, he noticed that the blanket hadnt covered the sleeping preachers feet. He saw that this preacher didnt have feets, but hooves. My friend also says that his grandfather doesnt belive in anything paranormal and this is the only such thing he has experienced. pluss he was a farmer so he would know how hooves look like.
I know this sounds crazy, but does anybody have any intel on such things?? any other stories or anything? could my experience and this “preacher” story be linked in any kind?
Sorry about this being so long and my bad English.
Where have I read this story before? It’s really familiar.
As I said, the ‘god’ pan, an elemental being/nature spirit, can look like half man and half goat. Also the devil is said to look like this, but with a non-split hoof like a horse. Nature spirits have been part of human mythology forever. And that story, is one of the ones I read as a child, but .. I read so much mythology from so many different countries .. I’m pretty sure it was European legends, and possibly Grimm’s fairytales? Aha … here’s a glimpse of the story from their point of view. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bearskin_(German_fairy_tale)
Could a group of fawns live in your valley? Yes, of course. That you saw one is not surprising to me, because the elemental world is starting to make its presence felt all over the place. Could one of them look human enough to be mistaken for a preacher, until it drops its guard when its asleep .. anything is possible. Otherwise, perhaps the grandfather was relating a story he heard as a child as a ‘fact’ to entertain his grandkids? That is also possible.
I would also be interested to know of anyone else’s experiences with elementals.
Love & Peace
