A Werewolf sighting in Northern Illinois

A source would like to share their account of a large biped creature they encountered in 2007. "It was October 1st and I was coming home from a visit to the forest preserve. It was extremley foggy and misty that day. And as I turned off the main street and into my subdivision, I glanced into the rear view mirror and saw something I will not soon forget. Something was standing upright in the middle of the street and it wasn't human. My first thought was a large dog but it couldn't be. As I slowed down and came to a stop I observed the creature. It appeared to be six plus feet in height, covered in a brownish-gray fur, and a head that resembled a German Shepard but larger. It had elongated fingers and toes with claws on both. I continued to watch the creature as it dropped to all fours and ran off into a field and dissapeared. I was in utter shock after what I had witnessed as my house was just a block away. When I entered my driveway, I sat and looked toward the wooded dead end path wich was the direction it was heading when I saw it last. I got out of my car quickly, entered my house and locked all the doors and closed the curtains. I continued to observe out the window towards the dead end trying to catch a glimpse of the creature once more. But I have never seen anything like it since. And I've never shared this with anyone before. It was amazing and frightening all at the same time." Did I mention this is my mother? and I was 11 and in the back seat at the time? Oh I guess I didn't.......... And my mom has never been so serious about something in her life.
