A couple years ago my wife and I were driving home and took a back road
that lead us right into the side of town that we live on, just a couple
blocks from our house. The back road isn't too secluded, it’s just off
the highway and there are a couple farms and houses along the way, but
it’s usually pretty empty. You might see one or two cars passing you
ever other time you take the road. Over all it was a pretty normal
situation, especially weather wise. I don’t remember what season it was
or if it was morning, midday, or evening, but it was daylight and there
were no clouds or fog anywhere in site. That part I do remember.

About midway down the back road I noticed a low cloud that was floating
across the road. It’s Wisconsin, this isn't that unusual honestly. We
got closer and I started to look around for other clouds or fog rolling
in. There was nothing, still not that unusual.

As I kept getting closer I didn't think anything of it, until I got to
the point that I might actually drive through it if I continued. It was
at that point that two sets of eyes turned and looked at both me and my
wife. Both of us gasped at the same time. I made eye contact with
whatever it was that was closest to me and slammed on the breaks.

As we were stopped in the middle of the road, I realized that it wasn’t
a low flying cloud, but two living creatures of some sort, resembling
fog or a cloud that were walking across the road. They were maybe six or
seven foot tall and one was a bit taller than the other. They were
actually touching the road and followed the contour of the ground. They
did not actual float across, simply looked as if they were. When they
hit the shoulder of the road, they went downhill. They didn't float
evenly like fog or a cloud would, they actually moved while touching the
ground.

A good overall description is hard. I honestly have no really good way
to explain, but the creatures were cylindrical and stood upright, like a
tube standing on the ground vertically. For those of you who have seen
Donnie Darko, the weird blobby thing that comes out of people and lead
them to where they need to go, imagine that, but standing up right and
looking more like a cloud or fog than metallic goo.

Something else to note is that there was definitely two creatures, but
they were connected. It was as if there was a thinner “cloud” between
them, connecting them together. My best way to describe this is to
imagine how an ancient scroll looks if you were to prop it up on its
side and you separated the two ends a bit. You have the two ends, which
would be the two creatures, and then the paper in the middle, connecting
the two. The “paper” in the middle was thinner and more transparent that
the two creatures. This is another reason I believe we saw some sort of
living creatures.

Right as I slammed on my breaks, after they turned to look at us, the
“cloud” that connected the two creatures seemed to grow and start to hug
or grab around the creature further from us and they both sped up to get
out of our way. Like a mother grabbing a child to keep them safe or a
husband doing the same to his wife, so they could safely cross the road.

I don’t know what we actually saw, but I definitely saw what I just
explained. It was the most surreal experience of my life. I literally
felt like I was in a movie and was meeting face to face with a creature
from another world for the very first time. I've never been able to find
another story similar or anything describing creatures like what we saw.
I don’t know what it was, but it was absolutely the creepiest experience
of my life.
