7-Foot Tall Hellhound Skeleton Has Been Unearthed

I love reading your stories. I can envision things so well.  

So, the smell of sulfur left behind suggests that this "thing" was a demon taking the form of an animal, if this story is true.
Many people who report having demons in their houses say they smell sulfur too.

As for the big red "eyes", that sounds like you may have seen one of the many colors of orbs that visit here occasionally. 
They are often seen in the woods, just like the Brown Mountain Lights.  But, they come in different colors.  I don't know if that suggests they are different Beings, or what.  Most people who see the red ones say they get a very negative "vibe" from them.

I know you'll find this hard to believe, but I come from stock that may not be entirely sane or sober.

   Thanks for the laugh.
