Red Dead Redemption Curse

I have played Red Dead Redemtion since it came out in 2010, and I have seen my fair share of strange glitches and events in the game, but somthing that just happened today tops it all. To start it off, I was hunting wolves near the area were Irish drops you off at the end of the New Austin chapter. I was trying to get enough money for 3 new guns i had my eye on in the Escalara gun shop (semi auto shotgun, semi auto pistol, and bolt action rifle.) When somthing strange happened. While the animation of skinning a wolf played, somthing flew past John Marston from behind. it looked like a gigantic black bird, to large to be a vulture. Even then, vultures are white and black in this game, not all black. and i mean dark DARK black. Dark as black could be. it went way to fast for me to make out any more details. While this spooked me, I shook it off and kept hunting. But after a while, i noticed somthing strange. the wolves had turned... red? All the wolves i saw and killed were red. And i was sure they werent just foxes, they acted exactly like wolves. Attacked in packs, looked just liked them, ect. Also, the wolves seemed stronger. there attacks did at least 2 times the damage. You know how when it shows the animation of skinning animals, blood splats on the screen? well, there also seemed to be 2 times the blood too.

When i felt i had hunted enough to get enough money for the weapons, i made a campsite so i could travel to Escalara. But there was a problem... John Marston was standing up, not in his normal crouched position, but standing up. He also seemed to be staring at somthing, but the camera angle didnt allow me to see it. His face was all scrunched up, as if what he was looking at was digusting, but he couldnt look away. After i fast traveled to armadillo, (i was selling it here because things you skin in mexico are worth more in america.) Armadillo was fine, no strange acurances. After selling my things and heading back to mexico, (i was to creeped out to make another camp.) I found a random event. It was one of those times when 2 criminals escape a police wagon and you have to chase them down, nothing strange. After effortlessly capturing the criminals and bring them back to the deputy, he killed them and left, like usual. As i left, i accidentally hit the deputy with my horse and he turned hostile. I had to kill him, despite my almost perfect honor. But when i killed him... I lost all my honor. Completly stumbled by this, i was about to turn off my xbox. when i noticed i had lost ALL my money. All 1500 dollars i had. I found out when i looted the body and saw that at the bottom it said "0+7=$7". I was so pissed at this point, i wanted to destroy my xbox. Thats when things got insane. I heard John Marston mumbling under his breath. I could not make out any words, only him occasionaly saying "John Marston". After hearing this, i quickly turned off my xbox, and i have not played it since.

I am updating this today, on april 28th, 2011 because i did some research. There are rumors of a paranormal bird called a "Pheonix" in the game. they say it is only in mexico, which makes sense because thats were i saw it. Now, apparently, whoever sees this creatures will have there game cursed and different ways. i have played it since, and it has not been actting strangely, so ill keep an eye out and update if i see anything.
