A somewhat scary encounter with this creature was reported from
Wisconsin in a book by Linda Godfrey (Monsters of Wisconsin, 2011). A father and son were driving in La Crosse when this creature landed on the hood of their car. It flew upward with a scream. It was about 6' in height. The pair in the car suffered from sickness for a while afterwards. Were they allergic to the bizarre creature? They also reported pounding on the door of their house, not to mention rattling of the doorknob, for some time. What are we to make of these vespertilian creatures, which seem to keep turning up with some regularity? Could the illness have been some kind of reaction to gases released by penetration of an interdimensional barrier? Could it merely have been caused by some kind of allergy to the bat or some contagion carried by it? Surely it is about time somebody investigated these animals with a view to discovering their provenance?
On the other hand, if you start talking about interdimensional penetration people are inclined to think you are crackers. I feel there may be more man-bat encounters that people are afraid to talk about (let alone seek authorities to research into) in case they are labeled as mad as a box of frogs.
