"The Dover Demon" by Aleister Lam
SciFi/Fantasy Picture 45 out of 74 by Aleister Lam. ←Previous - Next→
  | In the evening of April 21, 1977 a bizarre incident took place in a remote area along the road in Dover, Massachusetts. While driving home with two other friends, a teenager name Bill Bartlette spotted something weird along the driver's side of the road. He saw a creepy creature that was crouching beneath a low wall of stones alongside the road, it was alerted by the headlight of Bartlette's car. As the lidless eyes of the creature met with Bartlette's; he was momentarily dazed and swirled his car a little which awakened both his friends who had dozed off at the rear seat. The creature was motionless for seconds before scurrying off just like if you were fast-forwarding a scene on the VCR. It's movements were so swift that within seconds it has scrambled away into the darkness. The two friends with Bartlette did not see the creature but testified that Bartlette appeared visibly shaken after the incident. With the vivid memory of the encounter in mind; Bartlette made an attempt to put down in pictorial form the eerie image of what he had saw earlier that day at the suburb of Boston. Bartlette's picture showed a unrecognisable animal with two large, distinctive round lidless eyes that seems to illuminate with a bright orangey colour. The slander creature had no particular facial features like nose, ears or mouth and it was almost hairless with a peach-coloured textured skin. It's clawed fingers and toes were said to be exceptionally thin and long to the extent that it was able to wrap around the boulders that it was crouching on. Bartlette estimated the creature to be round five feet tall. The creature was also described as having a large head and the sinuous forehead resembled that of a water-melon. The same night the strange entity was also witnessed by John Baxter just hours after Bartlette's sighting. What Baxter saw under the pale moonlight was probably the similar creature but he described it as walking on two legs and was probably about to climb up a tree like most simian creature would as it had its fingers twined around the tree trunk; but Baxter was not waiting around to find out. When asked to produce a sketch of the thing he had saw; the likeliness of what he had drawn produced uncanny resemblance to the picture drawn by Bartlette. Due to its creepy and demonic appearance the creature later came to be known as the Dover Demon. Just one day after the sightings, Barlette described the incident to his 18 year old friend, Will Taintor. Coincidently, that night while Taintor was driving his girl-friend, 15 year old Abby Brabham back to her house, they both caught a glimpse of a small hairless creature which they could not recognized as any animal that they had seen before, crouching on all four at the side of the road. Both Taintor and Brabham gave almost the same description as that of Barlette and Baxter; except this time the eyes of this Dover Demon glowed with a greenish colour. The local authorities and researcher who arrived there conducted extensive interviews with all the witnesses. They were very impressed by the behaviour and personality of these witnesses, which ruled out the possibility that they would create a hoax, further more others including their parents and the local police chief had testified that they seemed genuinely frightened after the encounter even though these witnesses were friends. Skeptics who try to offer an answer to what was witnessed by the guys suggested that it could be some sort of hairless marsupial that had escaped from the zoo. Others theorised that it might have been an unknown species of hairless simian lurking in the Dover woodlands. The description given of the Dover Demon presented a remarkable resemblance to the race of aliens that is known as the Greys. It is therefore also possible that the demon could have been some genetic experiment that went awry and had somehow managed to escape its captor. It has been widely speculated that there are experiments being conducted on captured Grey aliens that had crash landed on earth in the highly secretive compound that is underground based. The Dover Demon is in actual fact a hybrid of the Grey and some animal of the marsupial family, possibly an tarsier which accounts for its huge bulgy eyes and that long, slander toes and fingers which are usual to these nocturnal mammals. When the public and media were alerted of the sightings of this creature; it not only generated widespread interests but they have also given off the whereabout of the creepy fugitive. Officials from the secret base had also discreetly launched its mass hunt for the escapee and tracked it down to Dover, it was of course captured and security for the Dover Demon was considerably tightened ensuring no repetition of such incident. The whole episode remains a mystery till this day as everything pertaining to the incident was dealt with top secrecy by these elusive officials. It will likely remain so as the chances of the Dover Demon escaping from the compound again is very slim and it has never been seen since. |
