Is it normal to see this twice

When I was 6 years old, i went was walking down a hill with my nan. We saw two or three kids at this old monument, where I think horses in the 1800s would drink from, but these two or three kids ran off screaming, my nan told me to look inside and there was two red eyes I ran away thinking it was a bat. A year later I was at school and four of my friends said that they can see big red eyes down into the woods, where nothing can get in or out, I looked down and i saw these two big red eyes looking at me, then it closed its eyes and we all went in. But I thought what could this be? A few months ago I was watching a documentary on discovery Chanel and it was about this huge bird man, with big red eyes and would go all over America and people would see it and get scared and it went to a bridge in the us and the bridge fell down, it went to other places and it gave off bad luck. But I don't know if it was that or some beast.
