Our story today comes from Jonathan and it is a weird one.

He says, Dear Danny, in the summer of 2009, we had a summer holiday in Sicily.

One evening we were returning home from dinner with our daughters asleep in the back of the car.

The night was dark, but with some moonlight, as we came up over the crest of a hill.

We spotted something in the road ahead of us which I assume was a dog or maybe a stray sheep or

goat.

This is where it gets odd.

The thing in the road I can only describe as a flat wolf.

The creature was larger than a typical domestic dog, but about the size of a wolf. It was flat on the ground though,

it was moving in a weaving motion, a bit like the side-to-side walk of a crocodile.

I thought we were maybe looking at a dog that had been hit by a car,

but this thing was moving really slowly and deliberately.

It was very black, dusty, matted with thick shaggy hair and moved slowly across the road

and seemed to disappear on the opposite side. The weirdest bit was the creature's head. It seemed to be all

teeth and teeth sticking out at all sorts of weird angles. More teeth than seemed able to fit in its

mouth. At this point, I asked my wife if she had seen it.

All she would say is, yes, but we're not going to talk about it.

We drove home in silence the The overriding impression we both had was that the whole

encounter felt wrong. It wasn't supposed to be there. We weren't supposed to be there. And most of all, we weren't supposed to be there and most of all we weren't supposed to see it.

Bloody hell Jonathan what did they see on that Italian road?
