Some people love their jobs so much they won't let a little thing like being dead

Get in the way of their assigned duties up next on the campfire.

Welcome to our gathering tonight. Here we share stories of ordinary people who have experienced extraordinary things.

Sit back, relax and warm yourself by Jim Herald's campfire.

Welcome to the campfire I am Jim Herald so glad to be with you once again and what we do here is we share true stories.

Of the supernatural could be ghosts, could be UFOs, could be creepy cryptic creatures or my favorite head scratchers but whatever they are they are real stories from real people.

And we love them and here's the first one.

Anna is on the line from my hometown Cleveland, Ohio and we're so glad to have her on the line.

And this really is a story I don't know if I've ever heard anything quite like it.

And well I'll let her tell it I won't spoil it but it's a pretty unique and pretty cool story Anna welcome to the show.

Thank you for joining us and tell us what happened.

Thank you so much Jim. Yeah I've put a lot of strange experiences over the course of my life but this is the first time that my family has had a collective creepy experience each October in the Cleveland area.

The Cleveland Hunt Club creates a map of homes in the area that are decorated to the extreme for Halloween.

So my family being Halloween fans we like to take a look at the Cleveland Hunt map and then you know a few evenings in October we like to get a hot chocolate and drive around and enjoy some of the local Halloween decorated yards and it's amazing what some people do so we were out doing just that it was about a week before Halloween.

And my husband and our 11 year old daughter and I were in the car and driving around I had my map on and looking at at yard and we were on a residential street in Parma which is a suburb of Cleveland.

And we could see that there was a decorated house at the end of the street so we could kind of see in the distance that there was a house coming up on the right decorated and about halfway down the street from where our cars started driving on the street to the house in the middle of the sidewalk I saw what looks like a large where will prop.

And we had green illuminated eyes and it was right on the middle of the sidewalk and I didn't see anything I was just about to say wow look at that werewolves I didn't even get the sentence finished when all of a sudden the werewolf prop like nap became a man walking a yellow lab or door.

And all three of us like gas their screen so none of us had had a chance to even say to one another wow look at this werewolf isn't it cool when it turned into a man with a yellow lab and we did we all just like oh my god gas wow and and I said did you like what did you just say.

Our daughters in the back seat going oh my god that was a wolf where did the man come from so we talked about it after the fact that we discovered that all of us in scene the exact same thing what appeared to be like a cartoonish looking werewolf kind of down on its hunches all kind of I don't know what kind of jagged edges and lit up green eyes and a bit snarl it really looked cartoonish it looked like a prop.

And right when we told that right next to it all of a sudden it's like they stood up from the from the sidewalk and it was a man and a yellow lab and you know a yellow lab is kind of a roundish silhouette and none of us had seen the man standing there either so I don't know if we saw a glamour I don't know if we I don't know like saw a wrinkle in time I don't really know what happened but we all saw the same thing and it was just really an interesting kind of turn of events.

On our trip around Cleveland's Halloween displays yeah that's pretty wild that is pretty wildly it's like an urban shape shifter it was a shape shifter and I mean we just don't understand you know what happened here but but it's something that will always remember and it's something that we still talk about because it was just shocking.

That is so cool that is so cool that is really that is that's a Halloween memory and the thing is is that every year when you go out I'm sure you're going to say can we top that will we see another urban shape shifter probably not but man that is well in the fact that you all three sought simultaneously and you all three explained it the same way fast.
