Ahool - Story


Alright, gather ’round. I gotta tell ya ’bout this here time when me and my old pal, Charlie, were out huntin’ in ’23, deep in the heart of Sulawesi. It was a sultry night, moon so full it’d make yer granny blush. We’d been trackin’ somethin’, couldn’t tell ya what, but we were sure there was somethin’ out there. Suddenly, Charlie stops dead in his tracks. “John,” he says, real quiet-like, “ya hear that?” I strain my ears, and by golly, I do hear it. A noise like nothin’ I’d ever heard before – a primal callin’, echoin’ through the jungle. Made the hairs on me neck stand up straight. I look up, and would ya believe it? There’s this… thing, soarin’ overhead. Colossal wingspan, gotta be ’round six feet easy. Body like a bear, all covered in short fur. And its head – well, it was like an upside-down bowl, it was! Standin’ tall, prolly four feet at least, with a tail stretchin’ out behind it. We just stood there, starin’, hearts poundin’ like drums. It glided by, silent as death, leavin’ us with… well, I can’t rightly describe it. Terror, sure, but also somethin’ else. Fascinatin’, like we’d just caught a glimpse of somethin’ ancient, somethin’ we weren’t meant to see. Charlie and me, we shoulda stuck around, tried to get a better look. But I tell ya, my legs had other ideas. We hightailed it outta there, fast as we could go. And every time I think back on that night, I can still hear that call, see that creature soarin’ through the moonlit jungle. It’s like it’s all branded onto me memory, forever. But hey, don’t take my word for it. Go out there yourself, if you dare. Just… be careful what ya find.

Overview

Alright, listen up ’cause I’m gonna give you the lowdown on this critter they call the Ahool. It’s been around since the 1920s, first spotted on that little island of Java in Indonesia. Now, experts might scoff at all these sightings, but hell, if their boots ain’t ever touched the ground there, what do they know? Folks say this thing is about as tall as an average fella, maybe four to five feet, and it’s got a wingspan like none other – six or seven feet easy. It’s covered in dark fur, like a big ol’ bat, and its eyes? Man, those are somethin’ else. They’re huge and glow red, like two lanterns cuttin’ through the night. I’ve seen pictures of big cats with eyes like that, but this thing? This is next level. Now, the Ahool’s a real shy fella. It only comes out at night, probably ’cause it don’t wanna be seen. It flies real quiet too, no flappin’ wings or nothin’. People say they hear it before they see it – a deep, resonatin’ ‘whoop’, like somethin’ outta a horror movie. Locals call it the ‘Ahool! Ahool!’ sound, and it’s so distinctive, you’d know it if you heard it. As for where it hangs out, well, it prolly likes the dense jungles of Java and Sumatra best. Lots of trees to perch on while it hunts. And that’s another thing – nobody knows what this critter eats! I mean, it’s gotta eat somethin’, right? Maybe it’s a carnivore, maybe an omnivore. Hell, maybe it’s a vegetarian bat-thing. Who knows? But here’s the thing, these sightings ain’t just happening in one spot. They’re all over Indonesia, and they’ve been happenin’ for nearly a century now. So, sure, experts can pooh-pooh all they want, but definately, there’s somethin’ out there. And if you ask me, it’s probly hiding real well or maybe some bigwigs are coverin’ up its existence. But hey, that’s just my two cents.
