One Halloween night, I went out looking for my cat, and I was whistling for her and calling her name. Didn't find her, so I decided to go back in and while I was walking up the driveway, I stopped dead in my tracks and saw something huge and black on the roof. I walked slower towards the house while just staring up at the roof trying to get a good look at what was there on the roof. Then suddenly before I knew what was happening, I saw it coming straight towards me, in panic I ducked to the ground, it appeared to me to be a huge ugly man-like bird, all I could see were his huge claws aiming towards me, it missed me and flew back up in the dark black sky. I had to crawl to the door, banging on the door all shaken up from fear screaming at the top of my lungs, so my kids could open the door for me. To this day, they don't believe that I had encountered a Lechuza. I believed that was my maid from Mexico that I had fired that same day. She even vowed to bring me harm. That Halloween night, I will never ever forget!!
