I don't know if this really counts as we didn't see anything but it was close enough. My grandparents own a farm in Luther, MI with a large patch of pines behind their home. One evening, maybe 1997, my dad and I went for a walk in those woods. My dad wanted to, I didn't so much due to hour and the woods already being dark. As we entered the woods my dad tried to scare me by making a howling noise (coincidentally enough we had just heard the Legend song a few days prior). I hit him and told him that wasn't funny. He chuckled saying there is no such thing, it's just a story. I grumbled saying even stories have some bit of truth in them. We walked on into the woods, eventually losing the little bit of daylight that remained outside the woods. Then we heard a screaming howl come from the back of my grandpa's property, maybe a quarter mile away. I again told my dad that wasn't funny and he said it wasn't him. It happened again. Only this time, it was closer. Whatever made the sound, and it was the same sound just louder, was moving, fast, too. We didn't hear anything that sounded like movement in the tree or underbrush but I was certain something was out there. We continued our merry little walk through the woods, much to my chagrin, but we didn't hear another thing from the woods, though the entire time I felt like I was being watched by something that didn't like me or want me there.

The thing that sets it off is this woods are very close to the cabin that was scratched up in Luther, MI, so this is obviously its area to be in. I think this occurred in '97 due the frequency of the song being played on the radio, so this may the 7th year prophecy fulfilled.
Well this is my encounter, hope its to your liking, as much as it freaks me out.

Charleston High School was decorated with banners and lights for this year's homecoming. 

Mark sat with his girlfriend Amy on the bleachers above the football field. "I'm freezing" said Amy. "Here, take my jacket" said Mark. "Thanks" said Amy. At the end of the first quarter, Charleston was losing to Belmont 7-0. 

When the game was finally over, Mark offered to take Amy home in his car. While they drove through the night, talking about the game and school, Mark noticed that another car had been following him for quite awhile. "That guy has been following us" Mark told Amy. "He probably just lives around my house and is going the same way." she replied. 

After Mark dropped off Amy and they kissed goodnight, he headed home. Once again, the same car started to follow him. Mark decided to pull over and see who it was. As he pulled over, the other car did the same. Walking up to the car, Mark couldn't see who was in it because of the dark. then, the front window rolled down, and gaz! ing at him were two glowing eyes, and fangs that dripped with blood. 

In his frightened state, he took off to his car as fast as he could. When he drove off, he noticed that the car was no longer following him. As he turned back around, he saw a man standing in the middle of the road. Without being able to stop, Mark hit the man and sent him to the ground. 

"I'm sorry, are you alright!?!?" asked Mark. The man did not even speak, instead he turned his head all the way around and stared at Mark with the same glowing eyes. The man screamed at him, got up, and began to walk to him. His head was cocked to one side and he was moaning like some sort of zombie in a movie. 

Mark got in his car and tried to start it, but it didn't work. The man got closer to his car, finally it started and the man disappeared. 

"Mark?" whispered Amy's voice. Mark whirled around and not Amy he found, but in the passenger seat was some sort of wolf with yellow glowing eyes.
