'IT'S FREAKING ME OUT!' Unknown PALE CREATURE Stalks My Home!

A series of events leads to an encounter with an unknown pale creature at the witness' home. Was it a 'crawler?' It's an interesting account with several questions.

I received the following account:

"This is an experience from the past and something that happened recently that scared the crap out of me. Sorry if some of what I write doesn’t make sense. My adrenaline was going through the roof, and my fight-or-flight instincts kicked in.

I live in a rural southwestern Louisiana backwater. For a few months now something weird has been hanging around and outside my house. The first time it became apparent was one night I was in the basement. Outside the window is a porch and there is a light switch for the lights by the door. I went upstairs for a bit when I realized later I left the lights on, so I went downstairs to turn them off. When I came down the porch lights were on. Now my father has tried endlessly to hook them to a timer with no success. I assumed that he had finally figured it out and paid the lights no mind. What I didn’t know was my dad had given up weeks ago and put in an average light switch.

The next morning I go down and see the lights are still on. I assume the timer didn’t work so I go to shut them off, and then discover to my shock it’s a switch. This caused me to panic a bit because that meant someone had been out there while the rest of my family was asleep last night and quite likely they could have been watching me.

A few weeks later I’m sitting downstairs on the couch. I’m home alone, it’s dead of night and my dog. Suddenly she perks up and looks to the window. Out of habit I look with her and see something hunched and white dropping down over our fence and run past the windows. Thanks to the dirty windows and the glare of the lights I couldn’t even hope to make out what I saw or how big it was but I panicked and called my buddies. They were skeptical and told me it was probably a raccoon and I ended up agreeing.

I went outside with my dogs, an older chocolate Lab, and my German puggle (German Shepard/Pug/Beagle mix) the one who had been with me. I went out trying to see what it was. Right away my dogs had two very different reactions. The Lab was pacing, sniffing, looking around, and being very anxious. The other was wagging her tail and looking at the trees the way she does when I have treats.

Suddenly from said trees I hear a loud groan. These are big strong old trees and they don’t groan, not unless something is on them. I ended up going inside cause my Puggle was moving between the trees with the same look while my Lab seemed to be getting increasingly anxious but now was staying away from the trees and just watching them. I wasn’t seeing anything. But all night I heard weird things. The worst was a loud slam. it was like a tree branch had fallen but there was nothing there. My Puggle kept going to windows and acting unhappy about being kept in. But the rest was like the sound of something on the roof, pebbles being thrown at the window, and the return of a woodpecker who should have been dead after my cats got the poor thing with a vengeance.

It's been a couple of months since that incident and I have mostly forgotten about it. Occasionally I'll hear something weird on the front porch or footsteps or the porch lights will get turned on mysteriously. But these are small things.

On a recent night, I was with my sister and Face Timing with a friend in the basement, when we heard a screeching sound. I run to the window in the next room where I believe I'll be able to see whatever it is from a safe distance. But I instead let out a scream and a flurry of curse words. Outside standing taller than me for sure (I'm 6 feet) was a gaunt white humanoid figure with its back turned to the window. When I got back to the window and looked back out it was nowhere to be seen. I at first thought it was my mind playing tricks on me. There was snow on the ground and I was dying for a rational explanation because it scared me. I was shaking. I told my sister and she laughed at me.

I went upstairs later that night and got everything ready for the night and locked up. When I went back up front I froze. I could see my cat, who seemed agitated, on the garage roof looking at something on my porch. That something was the same white figure with its back turned again except this time it was squatting and looking at my cat. It didn't seem confrontational itself. But then for God's sake, this sent me into tears. It turned its whole body (twisted) and it seemed to kind of straighten as it did. I can only think of a meerkat as an example. But it was so sudden I was sure I heard bones crack through the window. I never saw the face. As soon as it turned my flight or flight kicked in and ran into my room as fast as I could. The last thing I saw of it, as I slammed my door, was it on the railing as it leaped towards what I assume was the nearby tree.

I spent several hours in my room shaking and wheezing in a hysterical fit. I like paranormal stuff but it's hard when you are experiencing it. Now, that I calmed down enough to type I've been thinking about its actions (and back to the previous events). I'm trying to explain this to myself. I at first drew a comparison to the 'crawler humanoid' creature. But this thing seemed calm and relaxed most of the time. I don't know what I saw and it's freaking me out. JP

NOTE: I suspect that fear played into these events, but I have no doubt an unexplained entity was present. Possibly corporeal or manifesting energy? That is the real question. Lon

KATZO-WAN: My COSMIC FRIEND From The PLEIADES STAR CLUSTER

A young small-town girl from Quebec states that she had a friend from the Pleiades star cluster. She told her mother and grandmother and showed them the star's location.

I received the following account:

“When I was young, I had this 'invisible' friend who I never saw and couldn’t describe her physical appearance. I said she lived in space. One night, my grandma and mother asked me to show them where she lived. I then walked to the bathroom and pointed at the window to then show them Pleiades and said the word. I was four years old at the time. I pointed, I believe, to one of the brightest star and approximately said “That’s where she lives! She said her home orbited one of the visible suns.” Not something you expect from the mouth of a four year old. Of course, my mother later on told me that her and my grandma checked if that constellation was real and wondered where I got that from. I watched educational programming, but nothing at the time was very scientific.

So, a few months later, they asked me to show them again. I wasn’t in the bathroom, but another window and showed them. At that point, it alarmed my mother and my grandma because it meant I was aware that the Earth rotating around the sun had the “star change places” when looking at the sky. They asked for her name, I approximately said, “The closest to our language would be Katzo-Wan. She said her language is hard to translate to ours.” Some said I had a fertile imagination. I believed them.

When I reached the age of seven or eight, the visiting of this entity stopped. Everyone confirmed it was a fluke and all was just in my head. I grew up, it was around the age of eighteen that I witnessed in the sky along with many other people, a large white (almost blending with the clouds) spacecraft that made no noise and yet could move in many different directions. Drones weren’t accessible back then. So, it was an aircraft of some sort.

A few years later, I am walking with my great-aunt, many trees on each side, all we saw was a triangular shaped aircraft making this heavy and rumbling sound. It was shallow in the sky and then vanished in less than a second.

A few years later, I’m thirty years old walking with my husband and twice over our house we saw strange aircrafts hovering above our heads. This time high in the sky, I used my MapSky App that would have indicated any known aircrafts, but those remained unidentifiable.

For the record, I live in the province of Quebec, Canada in a very remote town. I always have. Except for the first incident of seeing a UFO. I don’t know if the things I’ve seen were in any way related to my experience as a child. I don’t know if my obsession with space comes from this “imaginary friend” I had. However, now I’m studying ufology to help me get answers to my questions. I feel quite alone and crazy at times because I feel like no one believes me. However, it happened to me and I hope to one day understand why.” AW

SHAPESHIFTING CRYPTID CANINES (WEREWOVES?) Observed in the Pilliga Forest, NSW

2 friends in New South Wales, Australia encountered shapeshifting canine cryptids, that they described as 'werewolves,' as they were walking late at night along the Pilliga Forest.

T he following account was referred to me:

"Back in 2005, a friend and I were walking home at about 2 o'clock in the morning, about 6 kilometers across Narrabri, which edges the Pilliga Forest in New South Wales, Australia. We were going from one friend's place to another.
We were only about 1 kilometer away from home on about a five hundred meter stretch of of straight road.
We were walking along a sidewalk. My friend was pushing my BMX as we were just talking shit as we usually did when all of a sudden something caught my eye. Two greyhound-like dogs, but larger, probably twice the size.
They ran out of a block of flats and jumped the brick mailboxes on the inside of the footpath on the other side of the road, which stood about three to four feet high. Both of these dogs landed in the middle of the road and then ran in the opposite direction to which we were walking. As they ran further away they grew larger and larger in size.
While they grew larger they seemed to begin to stand up on their hind legs and morph into some large muscular werewolf-looking creature and in my mind I could not comprehend what I saw.
These creatures ran around the corner in the exact direction we walked from and about five to ten seconds after they turned the corner we heard what sounded like a female child scream.
At that point, we both looked at each other and I could tell he saw what I had seen as he was just about to haul ass and bail on me on my bike. I jumped on the handlebars and he pedaled like I've never seen before. I don't think he skipped a pedal for the whole rest of the trip home.
When we got home we locked the doors and closed the windows and I asked him to explain exactly what he saw to me and to no surprise it was exactly as I had witnessed.
He was an indigenous Australian, as was his elder brother. We explained the experience to him and he said it was probably a "Yowie" which I believed at the time, but this story is not typical of Yowie sightings in Australia.
Safe to say this scared me to go out at night for quite a while.
We told a few people about the experience afterward but most of the time people would laugh or joke that we were on drugs or brought up "hairy man" (which is a slang term for a "Yowie") while drinking. I can assure you this was the same thing we told them. This was a completely sober experience.
After the joking and carrying on I pretty much kept this story to myself, only telling a select few people who want to hear paranormal stories. I don't try to convince anyone if it's real or not, they can decide for themselves. I know what I saw." BB

'TALL MAN WITH VERY BIG WINGS' States LaSalle County, Illinois Eyewitness

4 witnesses report observing a 'tall man with wings' while fishing near a nuclear power plant in Marseilles, Illinois in LaSalle County. Is it related to the Chicago winged humanoid sightings?

The following account was forwarded to me:

"On October 10, 2020, I was out bass fishing with my buddy and his son and another friend over at the cooling pond near the power plant south of Marseilles, Illinois. This location is in LaSalle County, in southern Illinois. It was very warm that day and we decided to take the chance to get some late season fishing done before it got too cold to be out on the water. We were at our usual spot over by one of the barriers, about a mile and half from the boat launch where the water is about 15 feet deep.

We were sitting around talking and casting our lines, it was about six pm and we were just about to wrap it up for the day and head on back to the house. My buddy’s son saw it first and said look at that big bird over there! We all looked to see this thing fly over the top of us, it must have been 20-30 feet up in the air and it was moving silently. It wasn’t squawking and making noise like a flock of goose would and it was barely moving its wings. We watched it as it flew over us and in the direction of the power plant, and we seen that it looked like a tall man with really big wings.

It flew off toward the plant without making any changes in its path until it was out of sight. We saw nothing else after that and we decided that it was enough for us to call it a day and head back to the launch before the sun went down."

NOTE: Some aspects of this sighting are similar to winged humanoids reported in the Chicagoland region. Southern Illinois is well-known for various unexplained flying phenomena. Lon

HAIRY HUMANOID: CHIMPANZEE? CRYPTID CANINE? - An Official Cover-Up at Apalachicola National Forest, Florida

In 1998, a now-retired forestry official had a strange encounter with a creature that he had no idea existed. This occurred in the Apalachicola National Forest, Florida.

This is part of the interview I obtained:

"It was 1998. I was 37 years old. I was working with the forest department for 12 years at that point. There was a fire in the Apalachicola National Forest that summer. The Bradwell Bay area was on fire when all this happened. The fire was raging pretty badly at this point. We didn't know if we would ever get it out. That morning I had reported to the command center on Helen Guard Station Road to get briefed on what I would be doing that day.

So me and another guy were given the task of driving around looking for animals along the road of the Bradwell Bay area. Animals would make it to the road and usually fall out if they were injured or had really bad smoke inhalation. Our job was to pick them up and take them to the vets at the command center. The vets would treat them and on some occasions euthanize the ones that wouldn't make it. So we were driving around the area heading south doing about 45 mph. Faster than I should have been driving. I was talking to my partner and didn't realize how fast I was going. All of a sudden we saw a black figure run out of the woods on all fours. It ran right up under my driver's side tire. I hit the animal with both the front and back tires. I was driving a 95 Dodge Ram 4X4. So I knew at that speed I had killed it. Immediately we thought it was a bear. We got out to pick the bear up and put it in the truck.

Upon further investigation, we realized what I had hit was not a bear at all. It was a creature that neither one of us had ever seen. It was about 6 feet tall. It had legs, kneecaps, and feet just like me and you. The arms hung to about the knee. One arm a matter of fact was down by its knee. The other one was up over its head. I had run the creature over under its right underarm, across the shoulder blade, and over the back of its neck. The creature was covered in hair. About 3 to 5 inches long on the arms, legs, and head. The hair on the back, ribs, and chest was much shorter. The muscle definition of the animal was phenomenal. It looked like a prizefighter or one of the guys you would see in the UFC. We flipped the animal over. The jaw was broken from where I had hit it with the truck. I could see it had a protruding snout much like that of a baboon or what you would think a werewolf looks like. It had eyes just like us. The thing looked a lot like a chimpanzee.

We quickly radioed into the command center and they sent two FWC officials out to our location. Within about 15 minutes, the FWC officials arrived and they told us they had never seen anything like it. So we all picked the animal up and loaded it into the back of their truck. The animal weighed about three to four hundred pounds which dead weight is a lot. They told us they would figure out what it was and let us know. So we had been contacted by the command center at this point and they told us to come on back and make a statement about what we saw.

So we showed up at the command center and immediately we were brought back to a room where we were to fill out an incident report. We were about 10 minutes into the incident report when we were asked to stop and wait and that some people were coming to see us. Within about 30 to 45 minutes two government officials showed up. They walked us out to the vehicle. They were asking where we ran over the... the thing. We told them where it was and so they examined the area. The truck had no damage. There was a black steel bumper on the front. The animal hit the bottom of that and the tires took care of the rest. There was really nothing on the truck except for the undercarriage. There was blood and hair. The officials collected the blood and hair samples and put them away. Next, they asked us if we would get into the vehicle they came in and take them to the location where we had run the animal over. So we complied, got into the vehicle, and left with the gentlemen.

It was a rather quiet ride back out to the spot. They didn't say much at all except for a couple of exchanges with each other. We showed up at the spot and walked them through what happened. Then all of a sudden one of the guys, I guess the guy in charge turned and looked at us and said congratulations fellas you ran over a bear. I said sir, but this is no bear that we hit. He quickly interrupted me with, you don't understand, you ran over a bear. He then said that every time I tell anybody about this I run over a bear. I was to never speak a word about what we actually hit. That I could face charges. My whole retirement could go away. They said I could lose my job and that they would slander me and make me look like a fool. So I looked at my partner and we had no other choice but to comply.

On the ride back it kind of struck me as odd that this was an actual government cover-up. They knew what this thing was that we had hit. They had seen them before and now they had a body. For some reason, they didn't want anyone to know and they were going to great lengths to keep this under wraps. The main reason I'm telling my story is, I'm hoping one of the other three people, my partner and the two FWC officials will come forward. I figure it's a lot harder to silence four people than it is just one. People need to know that these things are out there and that they are real.” G

7-Foot-Tall REPTILIAN 'ARMED COMMANDOS' Exit Landed Craft Near Naples, Florida

Near Naples, Florida a group of seven-foot-tall reptilian humanoids, who were very massively built and "evil" looking, exited a saucer-shaped craft that had landed near a rural home.

I received the following account:

"A few years ago at a family gathering my brother casually mentioned to my sister and I that his wife had seen a UFO and that it had scared the crap out of her. When my sis and I approached her, she wouldn't talk about it. So we decided on New Year's Eve to get her nice and buzzed and then try to get the story out of her again. Well, she was more than buzzed when we brought it up and you could see her face change, becoming upset. We kept at it, trying to coax it out of her until she finally told us the following:

My brother and she live in a very rural part of Naples, Florida, near where my mother's house is. She woke one morning from a nightmare coincidentally about UFOs (which is why I suspect this whole thing MIGHT have been some sort of waking dream) and went out onto her porch for a cigarette.

Outside parked on the street in front of her house was a glowing saucer-shaped ship. Coming out of it, dressed in what she described as combat armor and holding weapons. All were a group of seven-foot-tall reptilian humanoids. She said they were very massively built and "evil" looking.

She started backing away in terror when one of them turned to her. Then in her head, (she said it didn't move its mouth.) she heard, "Go back inside, we're not here for you."

Then the figures crossed the street to the house across from hers. She turned and scampered back into her place and hid, not daring to look outside for a good while.

Apparently, her daughter was also involved in this sighting, but this is as much of this story as my sister and I could get out of her.

I know this sounds ridiculous, but if you heard her telling it and saw how she sobered up VERY quickly while doing so, it might creep you out as much as it did us at the time.

At one point she broke into tears and hysteria, so we asked her to stop and never approached the subject with her again.

We've never asked the daughter about it. My brother says he slept through the whole thing." A

NOTE: Naples is located within an area of southwest Florida that is well-known for bizarre activity and encounters. Lon

A Lifetime of HAUNTINGS & UNEXPLAINED EVENTS

A listener contacted Kyle & Cam and detailed his paranormal experiences from the time he was in elementary school until more recent times.

The following account was forwarded to me by my friends Kyle & Cam at Expanded Perspectives:

"From when I was young I’ve heard personal stories from friends and family from ghost children to euthanized pets running through people’s houses, but I’ll stick to my personal experiences for now.

When I was younger (around elementary school) we moved into our second house, a fixer-upper that had been sitting for a while. Later on, when my parents would be working and it was just me and my older sister, we would hear at points that someone was moving around upstairs and we had to have her boyfriend clear the house cause we would be too afraid to go back inside. Another instance was that the master bathroom had a door that was fogged glass and I would see a shadow passing by and I would be waiting with a bat outside the door if anyone had somehow managed to get through the house and hide in the closet that was conjoined to it.

The house was saged and scripture was painted on the walls and we didn’t have much if any issues after that. When I was in high school I was told of a past librarian who died in front of the school and was known to haunt the art, music, and theater classes which were all right next to each other, I had almost forgotten about it till my junior year when we would hold a film club in the theater. A classmate had a Speak Box app on their phone and decided to mess around with it after we finished our meeting, after a few minutes of silence a few words appeared that the phone picked out in the changing radio channel starting with, car accident and library. The app started describing pieces of clothing that we were wearing as well as the names of the people in the room and the names were not very common, to say the least. After that, I was frightened to be messing with that stuff so I left immediately feeling pretty creeped out. I was a bit skeptical that the app could’ve been tampered with or the experience rigged, but later in the year, I had my own personal experience.

I would skip lunch sometimes, the cafeteria being across the hall from the theater, and I would practice a song I was going to use for the talent show, on the only other piano in the school. I had begun to hear noises from the balcony, I stopped playing and asked if anyone was there. Students would sometimes practice their scripts upstairs. But after seeing no one was there from a glance I continued practicing, and not shortly after a single light above me turned off and on I wasn’t thinking much about it until I heard a crash. On the balcony there was a row of fake office trees lined up in one corner of the wall, and one had toppled over. thinking someone was messing with me I sprinted up the stairs that were adjacent to the piano and looked around finding no evidence of anyone. I fixed the fallen tree back into its upright state and went back downstairs to the piano, yet as I was about to start, I turned and looked back at the spot the tree had fallen and saw an adult-sized black silhouette move from those trees into the sound booth in the center of the back wall. My thoughts of it being someone was no longer possible. The issue was that the only door into the booth was on the opposite side of the balcony and the shape had walked through cinder blocks where the sound booth protruded from the back wall. I sat a bit panicked but I apologized if I was bothering them/it and if it had an issue with me still practicing I could go. Nothing else happened so I got halfway through playing another verse before feeling too creeped out to be in there and left feeling I had handled my first paranormal experience pretty well.

My next experiences happened after moving out of Tennessee and to Fernandina Beach, Florida. Amelia Island where the town is located has had a lot of history having been captured 7 times by nations pirates and militants it is not surprising that there would be instances of ghosts. I worked as a bellman for a small coastal hotel. I had been told that the place had a ghost they called the captain who would turn on or off tv’s or move around supplies while housekeeping was working. Still, I hadn’t given it much thought, but looking back I’d noticed that at random times when I would walk through those halls, I swore I would see a thin column of smoke moving past me like a thin cloud. I would stop and walk backward to see if it was a trick of the light or try and smell if a guest was smoking but there would be no smell and I could not recreate the sight of the smoke which now I very much think were apparitions.

8 months working there I was riding the elevator with our head cook at the time to the lobby when I started to hear a phone ringing. “Are you going to answer that young man?” Said the the chef and I realized the ringing was coming from inside the elevator and I opened an access panel that I was unaware of to find an office phone. I answered it as the chef exited on the lobby floor, and I gave the hotel name and usual greeting and asked what I could do for them. An elderly woman’s voice could be heard though her voice was so raspy it was a bit difficult to understand what the phone call was for but when I understood what she was asking for I was more confused. She had asked for an employee who worked there and when I told them that the name they gave didn’t belong to anyone I worked with, they asked to talk to another name I had not heard before when I said I wasn’t sure who they were trying to reach the call dropped, after relaying the unusual information to the owner they said that the first name was of a employee that died in a car wreck before the hotel was bought by them. The Second name was the previous owners who had also passed. How did someone get a hold of a phone number to an elevator had me confused especially from someone who had no connection to the hotel for over 7 years? Feeling a bit weirded out by the experience I tried to redial the last call but the phone number was inactive. So I continued on with my work trying to push the memory aside.

Later that year a new cook took the position and we got along well the elevator had been opening on the lobby floor with no one inside and closing and I chalked it up to it being some wiring or some other reason but as I was at the desk, the cook got off the elevator and she was on her phone. She said that the camera app kept getting pulled up and then It took a selfie of her, she then flipped the camera and took another photo. Although she was in the elevator alone m, a tall black man was looming in the elevator in front of her with only his face being somewhat distinguishable but as if he was standing in a dark room despite the elevator being well lit. We both were quiet and had the hebejebes about the photo, so I sent it to my family who are very religious. My grandmother said it was a demon and not to acknowledge or interact with the entity and I was quick to oblige that I would not try to make any new pen pals with the deceased.

The final instance was about a year later as my ex at the time and I stayed in the keys for a bit helping with her father to flip a couple houses. We were staying at one of them that was about finished, we had wrapped up for the night and we just got into bed at around midnight, after a few minutes of laying down, two LOUD knocks happened right above our heads on the wall as if someone had a warrant, but behind us was the interior of the house. We both jumped and I got up and immediately opened the bedroom door into the hall you could hear her dad across the house sawing logs still and it was only us three in the entire house, I walked around the whole house and all the doors were locked. When we woke in the morning we were confirmed to what we already knew that the house was haunted since the house came cheaper due to the previous owner having died of old age in the house. I’ve not had any experiences since and I’d be fine with keeping it that way."

SASQUATCH & WENDIGO: Tales of Kidnappers, Mankillers, & Cannibals

There have been many tales of forest-dwelling hominids and humanoids being responsible for unprovoked kidnappings and supposed slayings for centuries. But do any of these accounts actually contain facts?

Californians Out To Bag Legendary 'Sasquatch'

April 9, 1934 -- Vancouver B.C. (U.P.) America's first sasquatch-catching expedition headed into the mountains of British Columbia to-day on a hunt for the horrible, hairy, naked bogey-man of Indian legend.

J. F. Blakeney and C. K. Blakeney, brothers, of Sacramento, medical students at the University of California, read reports of frightened tribesmen that the giant baby-snatcher of old had been seen recently in the mountain of Harrison Lake and determined to attempt to photograph or lasso a "sasquatch."

The fabled sasquatch, as described in Indian lore for hundreds of years, is about as villainous a phantasm as ever frightened a little papoose anywhere, but adult Indians also are fearful of the monsters.

They are supposed to lurk in caves and glades of British Columbia, coming out in the twilight to peer moodily into Indian teepees, to glower and snatch at children, to steal food, play diabolical tricks, and even kill warriors.

"Our professor of anthropology will be much interested" said the Blakeneys, as they left for the haunts of the sasquatch.

British Columbia is a happy hunting ground for weird legends, and there is no lack of witnesses who will swear to them, as hundreds have sworn they have seen the sheep-headed fresh-water serpent of Lake Okanagan, Ogopog0 and the two big salt-water sea-serpents, hiaschuckaluck cadborosaurus and his "wife," Amy. - The Fresno Bee (Fresno, CA), 1934-04-09

Theodore Roosevelt’s Bigfoot Story

It was told (to me) by a grizzled, weather-beaten old mountain hunter, named Bauman, who was born and had passed all his life on the frontier. He must have believed what he said, for he could hardly repress a shudder at certain points of the tales.

When the event occurred Bauman was still a young man, and was trapping with a partner among the mountains dividing the forks of the Salmon from the head of Wisdom River. Not having had much luck, he and his partner determined to go up into a particularly wild and lonely pass through which ran a small stream said to contain many beaver. The pass had an evil reputation because the year before a solitary hunter who had wandered into it was there slain, seemingly by a wild beast, the half-eaten remains being afterwards found by some mining prospectors who had passed his camp only the night before.

The memory of this event, however, weighed very lightly with the two trappers, who were as adventurous and hardy as others of their kind... They then struck out on foot through the vast, gloomy forest, and in about 4 hours reached a little open glade where they concluded to camp, as signs of game were plenty.

There was still an hour or two of daylight left, and after building a brush lean-to and throwing down and opening their packs, they started up stream.

At dusk they again reached They were surprised to find that during their absence something, apparently a bear. had visited camp, and had rummaged about among their things, scattering the contents of their packs, and in sheer wantonness destroying their lean-to. The footprints of the beast were quite plain, but at first they paid no particular heedto them, busying themselves with rebuilding the lean-to, laying out their beds and stores, and lighting the fire.

While Bauman was making ready supper, it being already dark, his companion began to examine the tracks more closely, and soon took a brand from the fire to follow them up, where the intruder had walked along a game trail after leaving the camp. . . . Coming back to the fire, he stood by it a minute or two, peering out into the darkness, and suddenly remarked: ''Bauman, that bear has been walking on two legs." Bauman laughed at this, but his partner insisted that he was right, and upon again examining the tracks with a torch, they certainly did seem to be made by but two paws, or feet. However, it was too dark to make sure. After discussing whether the footprints could possibly be those of a human being, and coming to the conclusion that they could not be, the two men rolled up in their blankets, and went to sleep under the lean-to.

At midnight Bauman was awakened by some noise, and sat up in his blankets. As he did so his nostrils were struck by a strong, wild-beast odor, and he caught the loom of a great body in the darkness at the mouth of the lean-to. Grasping his rifle, he fired at the vague, threatening shadow, but must have missed, for immediately afterwards he heard the smashing of the underwood as the thing, whatever it was, rushed off into the impenetrable blackness of the forest and the night.

After this the two men slept but little, sitting up by the rekindled fire, but they heard nothing more. In the morning they started out to look at the few traps they had set the previous evening and put out new ones. By an unspoken agreement they kept together all day, and returned to camp towards evening.

On nearing it they saw, hardly to their astonishment, that the lean-to had been again torn down. The visitor of the preceding day had returned, and in wanton malice had tossed about their camp kit and bedding, and destroyed the shanty. The ground was marked up by its tracks, and on leaving the camp it had gone along the soft earth by the brook, where the footprints were as plain as if on snow! and, after a careful scrutiny of the trail, it certainly did seem as lf, whatever the thing was. it had walked off on but two legs.

The men, thoroughly uneasy, gathered a great heap of dead logs, and kept up a roaring fire throughout the night, one or the other sitting on guard most of the time. About midnight the thing came down through the forest opposite, across the brook, and stayed there on the hill-side for nearly an hour. They could hear the branches crackle as it moved about, and several times it uttered a harsh, grating, long-drawn moan, a peculiarly sinister sound. Yet it did not venture near the fire.

In the morning the two trappers, after discussing the strange events of the last 36 hours, decided that they would shoulder their packs and leave the valley that afternoon. . .

All the morning they kept together, picking up trap after trap, each one empty. On first leaving camp they had the disagreeable sensation of being followed. In the dense spruce thickets they occasionally heard a branch snap after they had passed ; and now and then there were slight rustling noises among the small pines to one side of them.

At noon they were back within a couple of giles of camp. In the high, bright sunlight their fears seemed absurd to the two armed men, accustomed as they were, through long years of lonely wandering in the wilderness to face every kind of danger from man, brute, or element. There were still three beaver traps to collect from a little pond in a wide ravine near by. Bauman volunteered to gather these and bring them in, while his companion went ahead to camp and made ready the packs.

Reaching the pond Bauman found 3 beavers in the traps, One of which had been pulled loose and carried into a beaver house. He took several hours in securing and preparing the beaver, and when he started homewards he marked, with some uneasiness how low the sun was getting.

At last he came to the edge of the little glade where the camp lay, and shouted as he approached it, but got no answer. The camp fire had gone out, though the thin blue smoke was still curling up wards. Near it lay the packs wrapped and arranged. At first Bauman see nobody; nor did he receive an answer to his call.

Stepping forward he again shouted, and as he did so his eye fell On the body of his friend, stretched beside the trunk of a great fallen spruce. Rushing towards it the horrified trapper found that the body was still warm, but that the neck was broken, while there were four great fang Darks in the throat.

The footprints of the unknown beast-creature, printed deep in the soft soil, told the whole story.

The unfortunate man, having finished his packing, had sat down on the spruce log with his face to the fire, and his back to the dense woods, to wait for his companion, .... It had not eaten the body, but apparently had romped and gambolled round it in uncouth, ferocious glee, occasionally rolling over and over it; and had then fled back into the soundless depths of the woods.

Bauman, utterly unnerved, and believing that the creature with which he had to deal was something either half human or half devil, some great goblin-beast, abandoned everything but his rifle and struck off a speed down the pass, not halting until he reached the beaver meadows where the hobbled ponies were still grazing. Mounting, he rode onwards through the night, until far beyond the reach of pursuit.

There are many other States in the United States that have reported giant creatures that roam about their mountain wildernesses.However, I do not have enough verified information to fully go into it at the present time. Anyway, that would be another book. - Theodore Roosevelt - The Wilderness Hunter - An Account Of The Big Game Of The United States And Its Chase With Horse, Hound, And Rifle1893

“I did not like to tell them that I had been kidnapped by a Sasquatch as if I had told them, they would probably have said ‘ He is crazy too’ ... I told about my prospecting but nothing about being kidnapped by a sasquatch ” - Albert Ostman. (John Green - Sasquatch: The Apes Among Us)

Albert Ostman's sworn testimony

In my younger days, my idea of a vacation was a prospecting trip where I could be by myself and think over my past mistakes and plan what would be best to try next. I have always followed logging and construction work. This time I had worked for over one year on a construction job and thought a good vacation was in order. B.C. is famous for lost gold mines. One is supposed to be at the head of Toba Inlet—why not look for this mine and have a vacation at the same time? I took the Union Steamship boat to Lund, B.C. From there I hired an old Indian to take me to the head of Toba Inlet.

This old Indian was a very talkative old gentleman. He told me stories about gold brought out by a white man from this lost mine. This white man was a very heavy drinker—spent his money freely in saloons. But he had no trouble getting more money. He would be away a few days, then come back with a bag of gold. But one time he went to his mine and never came back. Some people said a Sasquatch had killed him.

At that time I had never heard of Sasquatch. So I asked what kind of an animal he called a Sasquatch. The Indian said, “They have hair all over their bodies, but they are not animals. They are people. Big people living in the mountains. My uncle saw the tracks of one that were two feet long. One old Indian saw one over eight feet tall.”

I told the Indian I didn’t believe in their old fables about mountain giants. It might have been some thousands of years ago, but not nowadays. Continue reading at Albert Ostman's sworn testimony

Native American legend and lore is filled with creatures that sound a lot like Bigfoot in description. One such creature was the "Wendigo". Many legends and stories have circulated over the years about a mysterious creature who was encountered by hunters and campers in the dark forests of Northern Minnesota. In one variation of the story, the creature could only be seen if it faced the witness head-on, because it was so thin that it could not be seen from the side. The spirit was said to have a voracious appetite for human flesh and the many forest dwellers who disappeared over the years were said to be victims of the beast.

The Inuit Indians called the creature by various names, including Wendigo, Witigo, Witiko and Wee-Tee-Go but each of them was roughly translated to mean "the evil spirit that devours mankind". Around 1860, a German explorer translated Wendigo to mean "cannibal" among the tribes along the Great Lakes.

Native American versions of the creature spoke of a gigantic spirit, over fifteen feet tall, that had once been human but had been transformed into a creature by the use of magic. Though all of the descriptions of the creature vary slightly, the Wendigo is generally said to have glowing eyes, long yellowed fangs and overly long tongues. Most have a sallow, yellowish skin but others are said to be matted with hair. They are tall and lanky and are driven by a horrible hunger.

The lore suggest the Wendigo is created whenever a human resorts to cannibalism to survive. In years past, such a practice was possible, although still rare, as many of the tribes and settlers in the region were cut off by the bitter snows and ice of the north woods. Unfortunately, eating another person to survive was sometimes resorted to, so the legend of the Wendigo was created.

It is believed that white settlers to the region took the stories seriously. A Wendigo allegedly made a number of appearances near a town called Rosesu in Northern Minnesota from the late 1800's through the 1920's. Each time that it was reported, an unexpected death followed and finally, it was seen no more.

Native Americans actively believed in, and searched for, the Wendigo. One of the most famous Wendigo hunters was a Cree Indian named Jack Fiddler. He claimed to kill at least 14 of the creatures in his lifetime, although the last murder resulted in his imprisonment at the age of 87. In October 1907, Fiddler and his son, Joseph, were tried for the murder of a Cree Indian woman. They both pleaded guilty to the crime but defended themselves by stating that the woman had been possessed by the spirit of a Wendigo and was on the verge of transforming into one entirely. According to their defense, she had to be killed before she murdered other members of the tribe.

There are still many stories told of Wendigo's that have been seen in northern Ontario, near the Cave of the Wendigo, and around the town of Kenora, where a creature has been spotted by traders, trackers and trappers for decades. There are many who still believe that the Wendigo roams the woods and the prairies of northern Minnesota and Canada.

The Yakama Indians of the Pacific Northwest had a tradition of a "Qah-lin-me", which was a devourer of people and the Hupa Indians called the man-like beasts the "Omah", a demon of the wilderness. The Nisqually tribe of western Washington had the "Tsiatko", which was a gigantic, hairy beast and the "Tenatco" was known by the Kaska. Their creatures were known to dig a hole in the ground as a place to sleep and would sometimes kidnap women and children. Most of the woodland giants in the lore of the Native Americans seem to be more aggressive than the creatures we know as Bigfoot but there is little mistaking them for something else. - excerpts from 'Where Bigfoot Walks'

The Problem With Room 301

A creepy account from a businessman and his wife who had an unusual encounter in a specific hotel room in Hopkinsville, Kentucky. Read the story and tell me what you think.

“I was working for a company based out of Hopkinsville, Kentucky in the Fayette, North Carolina office. The Fayette, North Carolina office was being downsized and my position was being moved to Hopkinsville. No problem. Neither state is my home state and my wife is from Iraq so no real ties. And it gives her a chance to experience other places. So we take a trip and let her see the town.

I get a room at the Hampton Inn Suites where I have stayed enough to get platinum status. Nice, clean hotel with a nice little Mexican restaurant. You can walk too and have a Margarita. We got room 103. We drive around and eat, unpack, shower, and watch TV. We turn off the light and everything is cool.

She's sleeping and the bathroom light comes back on. It has a motion sensor on it, so I get back up, cycle the light, and go to bed. At about 2:00 AM, the light comes back on and I get up, cycle the light, and shut the door. No problem, I'll just tell the maintenance in the morning. At about 3:00 AM, I have what I think is a nightmare. A rolling, black mass covers the floor to the ceiling and comes out of the bathroom reaching for me. About five feet from the bed, I wake up screaming, crawling backward towards the headboard. My wife doesn't wake up, which is weird. I have a Surefire Flashlight on the nightstand, so I fire it up and nothing is there. I can see the bathroom light is on again. I go back to sleep writing it off as due to stress.

I tell maintenance about the light issue. I come back from my office, and my wife says they came by and replaced the switch. Problem solved, right? No. Not really. We were there three days and I had the same exact experience each night and my wife woke up one of the nights moaning in her sleep. I didn't say anything about what I was seeing and she just said she wasn't sleeping well. She hates hotels, is from Iraq, and is not really used to a hotel stay. So once again, I kept my mouth shut not wanting to look like an idiot.

We got back to North Carolina just fine and we were watching a ghost show on television, and I said, 'Babe, when we were staying at Hopkinsville, did anything weird happen while you were sleeping?' She said, 'Yeah.' I asked, 'What happened?' She said, 'I saw a black cloud that was taller than you. That looked like it had snakes in it and arms that reached towards the bed.' I explained that I had seen a very similar thing. And she was like, 'I was scared to say anything because I was afraid you'd laugh at me.' This was real to both of us.

I came back to stay a couple of months later by myself and requested the same room, just to see if it would happen again. When I requested the room, I was told it was being remodeled because of water damage. That's plausible. Two months after this I was meeting one of my editors from North Carolina to help her get checked in and go out to eat. Knowing the front desk folks, I asked about the room again. I asked if she could have Room 301. She smiled at me and said, 'We turned that into a storage because of a parking lot noise.' I asked, 'Are you sure people haven’t complained about something else?' She just smiled at us. So draw your conclusions.”

U.S. Army Criminal Investigations Report - Iraq War - 'THE GHOOL'

The following narrative was forwarded by a friend who owns a security company. The witness is one of his employees who started working for him after several years in Iraq and Afghanistan. He states that he worked for the U.S. Army Criminal Investigations (CID) before and during the conflicts. He left the service for unspecified reasons. This account is second-hand but I believe the witness' sincerity though he wishes to remain anonymous. The report was written by the witness:

"I was an investigator with CID from 2004-2009 and served in Iraq and Afghanistan. Most of my work was related to various schemes (bribery, money laundering, theft, etc.) by enlisted personnel.

In 2005 I was informed that I would be embedded with an Army infantry unit in a mountainous region in the Sulaymaniyah Governorate (Iraqi Kurdistan - northeast Iraq). Once I reached my assigned location we were briefed on strange activity that had occurred in a particular area just a few miles from the Iranian border.

We started the investigation by reading reports that came from a few local villagers and Kurdish military (Peshmerga) who stated that people were being hunted in the mountains by an unknown creature. One man told me that the locals called it a 'ghool'. He had never seen it but it was described as a tall man-like creature with long arms and legs who fed on human flesh. I reported the information I gathered to my superiors after returning to the unit HQ.

A few days later I was ordered to return to the area of the strange activity and investigate further. An infantry squad with squad leader was assigned to accompany me. The general consensus was that it was likely a soldier who left his post (AWOL) and went crazy and started causing problems. Armed conflict can induce the worst in people to surface. If this was the case and the individual was killing non-combatants our job would be formidable.

After a few days of surveillance and searching we had no clue of what we were dealing with. If this was indeed a soldier or other civilian man we would have seen him or gathered some evidence. I was starting to believe that this was a wild goose chase but the villagers were animate that there was something hunting them.

One evening the squad leader and I were going over a report when we were alarmed by a god-awful scream that came from the direction of a mountain pass that we had just searched a few hours before. A few local people who had been outside quickly made their way home. It was obvious that they had heard this scream before.

Within the hour the squad and I were slowly entering the pass. It was night but the moon was very bright so we were able to see around a bit. We searched the entire area for several hours using night vision and high-intensity lights. We found nothing - not a footprint or remnant from any creature fitting the description.

I have always wondered what we heard that night. I have asked a few learned people for their opinion but with little satisfaction. There were many strange instances in Iraq that just never made the light of day. I heard of some but I'm positive most were just filed away."

NOTE: Interesting story. There have been humanoid claims by the Persians for almost 900 years. There is a Persian story about Ameen and the Ghool which included reference to the 'Valley of the Angel of Death' as well as other folklore. I do hope that some of the strange phenomena experienced in Iraq and Afghanistan are disclosed at some point. Lon
