Wings over the skyline and shadows in the street, a Christmas haunting. There's something about Christmas Eve that brings out both the magic and the madness in the world.
Starting point is 00:01:12 Maybe it's the cold wind sharpening your senses or the weird mix of joy and loneliness that floats through the air. I never used to think too much about it, until Christmas Eve of 2015. That night rewired my brain forever. I was in New York City, chilling with some friends, visiting for the holidays. We ended up partying on the rooftop of this high-rise downtown, one of those swanky buildings with rooftop access and just enough safety railing to keep your legs from shaking. Someone had turned the little corner platform into a festive hangout. Red and green Christmas lights were strung around the railing, blinking gently in the wind
Starting point is 00:01:51 like sleepy eyes. There were chairs, tables, drinks, everything you'd need to enjoy the skyline view of the city. There were maybe six of us up there, bundled up in coats, sipping drinks and passing around smokes, pretending it wasn't cold. It was cold, though, cold enough to make your breath crystallize and your fingers go numb just trying to light a cigarette. We tried to hang tough, but eventually, one by one, we started heading back inside to warm up and mingle with the office crowd downstairs. After maybe 45 minutes inside, small talk, snacks, refilling my drink, I stepped back out alone for a cigarette. The wind had picked up even more by then, and I had to cup my hand just to light
Starting point is 00:02:35 up. I walked toward the railing and leaned over slightly, looking out across the sea of skyscrapers twinkling against the Inky night. It was one of those weirdly quiet moments when the city seems to take a breath, and for a second, it's just you and the sky. Then I turned around and looked up at the building behind me. That's when it started. High above, right at the very tip of one of those spires, the kind they stick red lights on to worn planes, something moved. I mean, something. Not a bird, not debris, not a drone. It looked like it had wrapped itself around the metal rod at the top. At first, I thought I was seeing things. The wind was howling, my ears were ringing from the pressure change, and the faint honking of traffic was echoing up
Starting point is 00:03:23 weirdly from below. But then I heard it, this subtle metallic clinking. Like something with claws tapping on steel. The red light on the spire flashed every couple of seconds, and in that burst of color, I saw it clearer. There was something slithering downward, wrapping and unwrapping itself like a snake, only this snake was huge and shiny. The red glow flickered across its slicker, surface, giving it a ghostly glisten. I could see the shape of its body and the way it clung to the structure like it belonged there, like it had been waiting for something. I froze. My cigarette dropped straight from my lips and tumbled into the dark void below. My body was suddenly paralyzed with a weird kind of dread. You know that feeling when your instincts scream that you're
Starting point is 00:04:11 looking at something that should not exist. That was me. I knew I needed to record it. Get back. proof. But my hands moved like they were underwater. I fumbled around in my purse, eyes glued to the thing inching down the spire. I dug for my phone without blinking, terrified I'd miss something. And just as my fingers wrapped around it, the thing spread its wings. Huge, leathery, bat-like wings burst from its sides. No feathers. No softness. Just raw muscle and membrane. For reference, there was a full-sized American flag hanging vertically from the platform below the spire. This thing's wings were twice that size, each. My purse and phone slipped from my hands as I gasped, stumbled backward, and turned to sprint for the door.
Starting point is 00:05:04 My foot caught the edge of the rug just inside, and I slammed face-first into the carpet. As I hit the ground, a massive rush of air slammed into my back, icy and violent, like being caught in the undertow at the beach. I choked on a scream and flailed, convinced this was it, my name in the headlines, woman snatched by flying creature on Christmas Eve, but there was nothing. No sirens, no screams from below, no citywide panic. I screamed at the top of my lungs for someone to call the cops. I dove for the remote and started flipping through news channels, expecting Anderson Cooper or someone to cut in with a breaking story about a monster in the sky.
Starting point is 00:05:46 Nothing. Everyone at the party looked at me like I'd lost my damn mind. A dozen people tried to calm me down. Someone handed me a glass of water. I couldn't stop shaking. It had wings, I kept repeating. It was alive. It was out there. I ran to the bathroom and threw up, not because of the creature, but because everything else around me was so normal. I was the only one who saw it. me in a city of millions someone eventually called an ambulance and the EMTs checked me out in the hallway

Starting point is 00:07:40 My therapist told me to write it all down. This is the fifth time I've tried. It still doesn't make sense. If you're reading this and you've seen anything like what I did, please, please say something. I need to know I'm not crazy. And that's not even the only Christmas that broke my brain. Let's rewind to 1989, Mexico City, Christmas Eve. I was driving around with my boyfriend in his old beat-up car. Streets were decked out with Christmas lights, and people were everywhere. So much traffic it felt like the whole world was crawling. In a rush, my boyfriend decided to turn down a side street to dodge the congestion. A few more twists and turns in suddenly, we were lost. I unfolded the map, yeah, an actual
Starting point is 00:08:30 paper map, while he lit a cigarette and leaned back in the driver's seat. That's when it happened. Bam. Something slammed into the front passenger side of the car. Right next to me. I shrieked as a dark shape bounced off the windshield and disappeared into the street. My boyfriend stubbed his cigarette and jumped out of the car. I saw the figure stumble up awkwardly, holding his head. He limped across the road like he was in shock. But here's where it gets truly twisted, my boyfriend didn't react to him at all.
Starting point is 00:09:05 He bent down and started inspecting the bumper. I rolled down my window and shouted, hey, at the man. limping away. My boyfriend thought I was yelling at him and called back, don't get out. What? Why? I asked. He stood up and wiped his face. He's dead, he said flatly. What are you talking about? He just walked away. I turned, pointing down the street. The man was gone. I got out of the car. That's when I saw it. There was a body. there in front of the car. The same guy. Same clothes. Same build. His head was wedged into a storm drain. Neck twisted unnaturally. Legs mangled from what must have been the impact of the crash.
Starting point is 00:09:58 Blood everywhere. His bike lay beside him, one will bent, the other still spinning slowly. I was in shock. My brain couldn't process it. I kept looking down the road. I kept looking down the road. and back at the body. It didn't make sense. How many people did we hit? I asked. My boyfriend looked at me like I was nuts. Just one. The police showed up, blocked the road, examined everything. They said the guy had come flying down the hill and hit us without breaking. They barely asked me anything, I couldn't even form words. I said something like, I thought. I thought there were two. They assumed I was in shock and let it go. We got a ride back to his house.
Starting point is 00:10:47 Dinner was waiting, but I couldn't touch it. Couldn't even sit still. I kept replaying it in my mind. The man I saw get up, he cast a shadow on the wall. He moved like a real person. He held his head and limped away like someone who was injured. But that same man was lying dead in front of our car. I don't know if I believe in ghosts.
Starting point is 00:11:11 I don't know if what I saw was his soul confused about dying or my mind protecting itself from trauma. All I know is I saw someone stand up after he was already dead. And that wasn't the last time something unexplainable messed with me on Christmas. Last year, my friends and I made plans to spend Christmas in our old hunting cabin. No tech. Just drinks, firelight, music, and cards. I got there first as the sun dipped low. The cabin sat up high on a rocky slope, overlooking the road below.
Starting point is 00:11:45 I flipped on all the lights so my friends could spot it from the highway. On the many days of Christmas, the Guinness Storehouse brings to thee.

It had snowed the night before, so I grabbed a shovel and cleared out a few parking spots in the drive.
Starting point is 00:12:30 As I dug through the snow, that creeping feeling washed over me again. Not like I was being watched, more like I was. wasn't alone. The wind carried something else with it. I kept glancing at the tree line, expecting movement. There was none. But the feeling stayed. Thick. Heavy. Like something was waiting. I went inside and shut the door, locking it tight. To be continued.
