Albert Rosales and his very Strange World, # 111
66.
Location. Gallipolis, Ohio
Date: August 2010 Time: 19:30
Two witnesses, Megan and her friend Kyra had travel
ed from Columbus to Ravenswood
West Virginia on business and while there they decided to make a side trip to Gallipolis, in order
to visit relatives, Megan had not seen for awhile.
Around 7:30 pm they decided to get dinner at
a local restaurant and when they finished, Kyra need to go to the store and pick up a few items
that she forgot to pack. They then headed to a Wal-Mart that was near the restaurant. After
they finished shopping they were walking to the car
when Megan noticed a woman running
through the parking lot. When she reached the car,
she looked back in the direction of the
store and then hurriedly got inside the car. Megan
then looked again and saw what looked like
a large bird flying above the roof of the store. It
was difficult to see but when it swooped
downward the parking lot lights would shine off of
it. It looked like it was either oily or had
shiny leather-like skin. Whatever it was it had a wide wing span. She guessed it reached 8-10
feet across. It circled above the store for about a
minute then just disappeared. They drove
back to the hotel and decided to call it a night so
they could get an early start on the drive
home in the morning. Megan got ready for bed but thought she’d watch some television first, it
was around 2200. She must have dazed off fairly quickly because the
next thing she remembers was a frantic
knocking on her door. She stumbled out of bed and checked to see who it was. It was Kyra and
she was obviously upset. She rushed into her room a
nd said, “It’s here!” “What are you talking
about?” asked Megan, a bit perturbed. Kyra said tha
t she had been lying on the bed when she
heard something in the hallway. She got out of bed,
walked to the door and listened to what
she thought was ‘scratching’ sounds. After a few minutes the sound stopped, so she went back
to bed. Not long after, she lay down and heard more
scratching sounds but, from outside her
window. Again she got up and peeked through the curtains. This time something looked back at
her. Their rooms were on the second floor in the rear section of the hotel and both looked out
onto a small parking lot and a large field beyond that. She could see what she described, as a
“bald ugly man with wings” who was looking directly
at her with “large bulging eyes that lit up
bright red.” It was there for only a few seconds. I
t then spread its wings while running at the
same time towards the end of the parking lot and lifted off the ground like a bird. The next
morning they woke early, checked out and drove back
to Columbus. Kyra didn’t mention the
incident from the previous night during the ride. In fact she has still yet to speak about it again.
