During a visit to a caravan in the Milton district of
Shoalhaven I had a most unusual encounter.
Some friends and I were wandering the bushland not far from
the street appropriately named "Slaughter House Road" (look
it up if you need to).
We had decided that it would be a lark to wander down one
of the bush roads, very few cars can navigate the rough terrain.
We had made it as far as the old abandoned silo, which can
be seen from the field next to the caravan park when we heard some strange noises like that of a howling come
from the silo.
A dark shadow stepped out from behind the damaged doors.
It was shaped like a man.
We assumed it to be a homeless man (not very common in the
area) or a farmer checking his property. We had started to head back figuring we did not want to
meet him either way, when as we made it back into the dark
portion of the road we heard the howls again accross the
open field.
The field is generally high grass for a few acres with a
pond or two and several old farm items such as rusty tanks
& ploughs dumped through it.
We looked into the field and saw 3 dogs running the
length of the field towards us. We started sprinting and did not look back.
These were fast dogs.
The next day we asked the caravan parks neighbour John (an
elderly man) about the dogs and whether they belonged to any
locals. He told us that they were savage dogs and he had seen them
from time to time. He thought that they belonged to the old farmer who had
owned the farm with the silo. This man had gone to fight in
Korea and died. His wife had sold the farm and moved to
town.
I can not assume these dogs to be anything but dogs, until
you remember that these hounds could not possibly be the
dead farmers dogs unless they are ghostly muts, and as for
the shadow in the silo, I have no explanation.
I try not to wander down that road, haunted or not, a stray
dog can do some major damage.
