So I went to Appalachian State University in the mountains so it snows a lot in the wintertime.
My then girlfriend and I were at a club event and it was one those that ran into the night. It had started snowing in the daytime and we were at risk of being shut down. So by the time we got out it was still snowing pretty bad. I lived on campus and my gf was off-campus. I agreed to ride with her to her place and spend thd night there to make sure she got home safe.
So while we were driving it was pretty dark despite the snow. The streetlights on the road going towards her apartment weren't great. There were 3-4' snow banks. We were coming up to a stretch of the road where there was a shoulder that had a steep hill on the left that led into some apartments.
We saw this hulking black mass on the side of the road. In an instant when we got closer, it scrambled down the hill out of sight. It was too small to be a bear and we don't get bears here. It was too big to be a dog and its back legs were definitley dog shaped as it kicked up. I shit you not if I were crazy I'd say it was a werewolf.
At least we joked about it being a werewolf for thr longest time. It was too dark to get a good look and it was gone too fast to process it but I'll never forget it. No one at that school to my knowledge has ever mentioned seeing something like that so maybe we'll never know for sure what it was.
