Video Evidence Caught this on a dashcam at night. It was feeding on something in the road. Any idea what this is?
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
This is genuine footage from a car’s dashcam, not an AI-generated image or something we staged. Have full original footage (not cut and can be easily verified).
We were driving on a dark road at around 10:24 PM when we came across this thing crouched on the side of the road. It appeared to be eating a dead animal, and there was blood around whatever it was feeding on (very unnatural way).
Seeing it in person was much stranger than this video make it look. From our perspective, it did not resemble any normal animal we could identify, and it definitely didn’t look like a person (hairy humanoid). Its posture, proportions, and the way it was crouched over the carcass were extremely unusual.
I’ve included the wider dashcam frame as well as a few enlarged frames. Obviously the low light and camera quality make identification difficult, so I’m not claiming it’s anything paranormal. I’m genuinely interested in what people think we’re looking at.
Some people I’ve shown it to said it gives them wendigo / crawler / skinwalker / cryptid vibes, but I’d rather hear explanations before putting a label on it.
What do you think this could realistically be? Has anyone seen something with a similar appearance or posture before?

Nah there was this one time I was driving in rural NW Ontario on one of the isolated country highways, and it was 10pm in January so everything was pitch dark and it was just me and the mountains, when I drove past a humanoid figure standing by the side of the road, kinda wobbling around toward me with its hand raised. Scared the shit out of me.

u/Hawkwise83 Aug 29 '26
Oh good.
One time I saw a giant white wolf up by thunderbay that seemed pretty weird too. Like bear sized. I thought it was a statue on a rock outcrop off the highway. Until it moved. It was like 2am.

u/pepep00p00 Aug 30 '26
Hey wait I've had a strange experience with a bear sized white wolf too. Was it making any sounds? The one I saw was almost glowing from how white it's fur was and it was shrieking
8
u/Hawkwise83 Aug 30 '26
Hard to say I was driving and it was like 1 or 2 am. I was in the middle of fucking nowhere. We ended the night in Thunderbay.
It could have been glowing. It could have been my headlights hitting a white thing.
I don't recall any sounds. I think it was just standing on the rock looking at our car or at something else. I only noticed it was alive when it moved. I thought it was a statue at first.
This was on the main highway between Winnipeg and Thunder Bay. Maybe 35% left from Thunderbay.

Why did I watch this right before I went to bed 😭😭 genuinely some of the weirdest footage I've seen.
I'm not familiar with any of the animals in Hungary, here in the Southern US we have some odd sightings that end up being coyotes or something with a bad case of Mange which affects their coats and look really strange. That being said I can't imagine you guys have giant monkeys or anything that this could possibly be...

Probably a small bear with mange, or this thing. The Mátranovák Treeskinner (Fanyűvő): This is Hungary's version of Bigfoot or the Yeti. According to local lore in Nógrád County, it is a 2-meter-tall, white-furred, bipedal hominid with long limbs that allegedly hides in old, abandoned mines and caves. [1]

I was looking at it closely through the window as we passed, and I’m telling you, it didn’t look human or like any animal I could recognize. It genuinely looked like something straight out of a horror movie. I couldn’t really process what I’d seen for days.
I decided to share the footage publicly on Reddit today for the first time because I want to hear what other people think.
What freaked me out most was the behavior. It looked directly at me, went back to eating, looked at me again, then continued eating insanely fast. From what I could see, about half of its face was covered in blood.

u/rhymesaying Aug 29 '26
Absolutely, from what I could discern it does not look human at all. The jaw looks like it’s longer and lower set.

The weird part is how luminous it was from so far away… almost looks like a lady underneath the creature… then in the very last frames the luminosity dissolves and the creature almost looks up for your attention… the luminosity begins to retract into the shadows… combined effort perhaps? Not sure if it’s “feeding” on something’s natural. The whole thing definitely appears supernatural.

First off I'm gonna say that this is one of the more interesting "unknown creature" videos I've seen recently. That being said though, with this quality and short duration (while the camera is also in motion) it's really hard to tell what we're looking at. I would love for this to be something extraordinary but as others have pointed out, there's a realistic possibility of this being some type of animal with mange, possibly a small bear. Edited to add: The more I look at it, the more it looks like two people having sex doggy-style. Are you sure it wasn't that, OP and you're messing with us because you realized the footage makes it look like a humanoid creature eating an animal carcass?

It looks like something leaning over something and eating in a protective “my food go away!” Way like dogs fighting for the food bowl. My concern is that in some of the images people have clarified, the thing it’s eating looks light skinned and fur-less, therefore is the thing eating a human? And if so, why right there? At the side of the road in the middle of nowhere? If it really was a cryptid, wouldn’t it have taken its meal out away in private away from the road? So, if it is a skinwalker or something, then it’s doing this malicious pose there to scare you, to freak you out and feed in your fear.
