LUBBOCK, TX — As nearly everything in Lubbock remains closed due to the ongoing winter storm, multiple residents are reporting sightings of what they describe as a large, unsettling figure moving through snow-covered streets and empty parking lots late at night.
The creature, which locals have begun referring to as “The Snow Thing,” has reportedly been spotted near closed businesses, abandoned intersections, and anywhere the wind sounds just a little too intentional.
“It was tall,” said one resident who asked not to be identified because “this already sounds crazy.” “Too tall to be a person. It wasn’t walking like a person either. It kind of… leaned. Like it was being held up by the wind…”

Witnesses say it emits a low, dragging sound, described by one person as “a shopping cart being pushed by the weather itself,” and by another as “someone whispering your name, but incorrectly.”
Residents claim the figure disappears the moment headlights hit it directly, leaving behind only distorted footprints that don’t quite match any known boot pattern…
