The Batman - The Strange

While going through the mail the other day, I came upon an email from a person named Cindy.  At first I thought it was a ghost story, then I thought it was a Goatman Story.  After reading the account several times I decided that it was neither.I finally decided to give the creature a name:  The Batman.  Below is Cindy's account of her dealings with this real life monster.


Our story begins early July of 2000. A friend and I returned to my parents camper,
located on a secluded lake Greene County, IN, on hilly grounds. There was a string of
colored lights, running from the camper to the lake, they were roughly 7 foot high in the
trees. Upon returning to the site, we noticed the lights had been torn, chairs were flipped
over and one was broken. We exited the truck and noticed something running into the
woods, away from the camper. At first, we thought it was a joke. We then grabbed a
spotlight, and got into a boat. There was a lot of commotion along the side of the lake.
We proceeded to chase whatever it was down by the noise. Although we sat out to see
what it was, we only caught a few glimpses. We eventually caught up to it in a corner of
the woods that was scattered with pine and weeds, that was when we finally got the light
on it and saw the whitish shimmery hair, bat-like ears and fiery red eyes. It sat and
stared at us until we decided to go back to the camper. At this time it was traveling on all
four legs. The rest of the night consisted on strange noises until near dawn. Thinking it
was over, my cousin and I spotted it near the dock in front of the camper, once again on
all fours, this time we saw it had a large man-like torso. On this night, nothing was heard
or seen. After a week, we decided maybe it was a prank. In about another week, my
girlfriend, a friend and I, were making fun of theses occurrences. We were yelling, jumping
up and down on the dock. I walked to the right of the camper toward the woods in the
darkness, and there was a loud rumbling growl. It was then we all ran into the camper,
thinking nothing of the past occurrences, we thought it was a coyote or dog. After waiting
for 20 minutes we walked out to the truck to leave. We circled the camper once to see if
anything could be seen, in the midst of our second revolution before the lights were onto
it, we saw the image of a 7 foot tall creature walking casually towards the truck on its
back legs. Once again, it had a large torso, but its legs were small in proportion top the
body, it had the same large head and red eyes. Its arms and chest were rather
muscular. After seeing this again, I decided to tell my dad, he seemed to be the only one
who believed the story. The reason he did was because he saw something that looked
similar across the lake. We then set out to look for it in the woods. We decided to walk
to where it was first seen, and there was a bunch of logs knocked over and crushed. A
footprint was spotted by the two of us, it looked like an unusually large hoof-print. We are
not the only people who have seen it, my dad was talking to some people that have a
campsite a mile away, in the same woods. It has also showed up there, and once it ran
through their campsite. Now that fall is approaching we have seen nothing of the
creature.
