The Armadillo Man
Speaking to the ‘Expanded Perspectives’ podcast, a witness going by the initials of SB told of a unique and bizarre tale that one of their patients had related to them in their job as a hospice chaplain. The witness was obviously near the end of her life, seeing as she was under the care of SB - but her illness had nothing to do with mental issues. She had apparently relayed her story multiple times ‘without wavering’.
The witness used to live in Grassy, Alabama when she was a young mother. One day she was gathering laundry from the line when she ‘got a peculiar feeling’ before being confronted with an anomalous creature as it ‘lumbered from behind a wood pile’. It was described as a 3ft-tall white entity with stringy hair which was long enough to drag on the ground as it walked around on all fours. Its face was long, and reminded her of an armadillo’s - being hairless and ‘smooth like bone’. Its eyes were kind and human-like, and it never broke eye-contact with her. After getting within hand’s reach of the witness, it suddenly went ‘flat like a bottom sheet’ and continued to look up at her. I am slightly confused as to what this description is supposed to mean - did the creature literally flatten its body and become two-dimensional?
As any sensible person would at this point, the witness quickly moved away from the entity and backwards to her house’s door. As if the story couldn’t get any stranger, she was woken that same night to find that her baby was crying, and so when she got out of bed to tend to her she suddenly ‘noticed the front yard was like daytime with sun shine and blue sky while the backyard was normal night time’. Apparently the witness was a ‘good honest Christian woman’ who has since passed away.
