HUGE 'NOT DEER' Encountered in Chicago, Illinois Suburban Park!

"It looked like a regular deer that was standing in a clearing, but it was the size of a horse! The eyes were definitely facing forward, and the weirdest thing was that it simply disappeared!"

The following account was forwarded to me:

"Hi. I actually saw a 'Not Deer,' and it cannot be explained. The one I saw was huge, probably the size of a horse with forward-looking eyes, like a predator. Although it was dusk and turning dark, I could not make out what it looked like other than the outline and the head moving watching me and my friends as we walked. I knew it wasn't some regular White-tailed Deer.

The fight or flight response kicked into action! I was terrified without even knowing what I was looking at!

As I said, it looked like a regular deer that was standing in a clearing, but it was the size of a horse! The eyes were definitely facing forward, and the weirdest thing was that it simply disappeared after me and one of my friends pointed it out to the group.

The period was way too short for it to just get up and walk off without us either hearing it or seeing it due to the trail. It had to either walk towards the train tracks which would have led it into the city or cross the trail and go deeper into the woods without us seeing it or hearing it.

This occurred about 20 years ago outside of Chicago, Illinois in a northeastern suburban park, and only me and one other person saw it although we were in a group." F

DID MY GUARDIAN ANGEL Lift Me, Move Me, & Save Me, From An Oncoming Pickup Truck?

In a recent poll question, I asked the readers & listeners what were their thoughts & beliefs about Guardian Angels. One of the responses was included.

"When I was about 12, I ran out into the road behind my mom's car. She had just dropped me off at my grandmother's, but I wanted to go to my buddy Arnold’s house.

I tripped across the road and fell into the oncoming lane. No sooner had I looked and seen there was a pickup truck coming at me about 30 feet away than I was picked up under my armpits, turned away, and slowly brought, floating, across the road until my feet gently touched the pebbles on the side of the road? While it happened, I just looked at the road moving under my feet. I wasn’t scared and didn’t think again about the truck. But I was so focused on the ground that after I was put down, I just kept looking down. I heard and thought nothing. Just “uhhh….?”

What snapped me out of the basic deep focus / potential shock of it all was the truck whizzing by. As soon as it went by, it snapped me out of it, and I looked up at the red pickup going by and noticed the back of his black baseball cap.

It’s like he never saw me or anything that happened. He didn’t stop or look. Just kept going. I remember looking up into the trees, thinking something must be above me. Nothing. I ran to my friend quickly to tell him and his mom. I don’t remember their response. It felt like soft pillows under my arms.

Starting that day, I talked to God every day until I was older. “How’s your day? Hope you’re well, etc.” He never spoke back, but I talked to Him like He was there for years." W

TEXAS 'GAS PLANT HUMANOID' PHOTO: What Was It? (VIDEO)

This sighting is a 12-year mystery that is still as baffling as the day I received the image and the description of the incident:

In November 2012, a gas plant worker photographed an unknown humanoid wandering about the premises. The local police were called; later mentioning that there had been 26 UFO sightings reported in the area that same night.

Cropped

Original image

In March 2013, I received the following information and image from Ken Pfeifer. It was forwarded to Ken by one of his readers, then sent to me so it could be published:

"Nov. 2012 - I was working the night shift on an x-ray crew at a material gas plant. This was around 3 am and there was only four of us in the plant at the time. I took this picture after seeing something swaying side to side out of the corner of my eye. I was in the basket of a man lift coming down when I took the picture. By the time I unhooked my harness to get out of the basket the creature was gone. The police were called and walked premises. The officer told me there were 26 UFO sighting calls throughout that night. If you zoom in you can see the silhouettes of eyes and elongated mouth. I have no doubt of what I believed I seen that night. The other person that saw it with me took off running for the truck."

Follow-up received from witness:

"You can use my name and the picture was taken near Kenedy, TX. I appreciate the quick reply. The picture was even printed in the local newspaper in Kennedy. I had sent the picture to the officer who came to the plant and assume he sent it to the newspaper. Thanks Darryl."

Later I received the following email (9/23) from another witness:

"To the editor - I live near Beeville, Texas and want to report an incident from a few weeks ago. It was about 9:30 PM when I heard 'swishing' sounds coming from outside. I went to the back door in the kitchen and looked out. My yard was illuminated, so I walked outside onto the porch and suddenly noticed a wide disc shaped craft hovering above the house. It was at least 100 ft wide. In an instant I was hit by a beam of light and lifted off the top step of the porch. I was mid-air for almost 20 seconds, then slowly set down by the side of the tool barn. I was very groggy - almost like I was drunk.

I then noticed a figure moving out of a beam of blue light that came directly from below the craft. This figure was about 5 feet tall and looked human - but the extremities and head looked as though it had been burned and charred. It reminded me of a zombie from TV. It moved closer to me - I was literally frozen stiff. As it got closer I became nauseated - it looked awful and had a putrid odor. It backed away as I started to wretch, then vanished into the blue beam of light.

Without hesitation, the craft ascended swiftly - so fast that it created an instant vacuum that dropped me to my knees.

I got to my feet and ran into the house. I was scared and worried something else may happen. Then I noticed the time - it was 10:40 PM. I had lost almost one hour of time. I still don't understand what happened to me or the time. I feel fine but I'm still very concerned. I never believed in UFOs or other weird experiences people have said they had. Now it has happened to me and I have a deep sense of dread.

I talked to my close friend and she told me to search the internet. I don't know if she believed me but she was willing to help. To be frank, I am still concerned about contacting anyone about this.

My friend gave me several contacts to try. I sent emails and filled a few forms. I never heard back from any of them. Then I found the photo of the entity from Kenedy, TX that was posted on your blog. That is what I encountered - I know that it is the same thing or another like it. I can feel it deep inside me. That gas plant in Kenedy is only 20 miles from me!

Just yesterday, there was some talk that weird looking people were seen moving through a local field this past weekend. There was also a series of lights seen above the horizon at the same location. I don't know if this is related.

Can you get back to me? I really need some answers." (Name withheld by request of the witness)

NOTE: I called the witness at her place of business. She hesitantly described the incident and asked if I could answer questions. I don't know if what she witnessed was the same entity from the March 2013 incident in Kenedy, but it's an interesting possibility. The witness lives alone. Her close friend lives nearby, about 1/4 of a mile from the witness. I received permission to publish her ordeal in the hope of getting others to come forward. The witness is terrified that this entity will return. Because there is an issue of lost time, I mentioned regressive hypnosis, but I don't want to push her too quickly. She doesn't appear to have any ill effects from the encounter, but I recommended that she closely monitor her health and seek care if anything unusual starts to surface. The witness has given me permission to make these statements. Lon

BIZARRE 'GREEN DOOR' on New Mexico Mountain Trail: PORTAL TO WEIRD DREAM WORLD!

The strange dream feeling faded slightly and I was overcome with sudden dread; I darted back through the door again. Immediately everything felt normal.

I received the following account:

"I found a standing doorway in the brush once. It was on a mountain trail near my campus (Tortugas Mountain near New Mexico State University), and while I'd walked that trail probably a dozen times before this point, I'd never seen it before.

Something to note about this trail, there are some old ruins nearby, so fragments of buildings, usually doorways or parts of stairs, were not uncommon.

This doorway was different. For a start, it was just a doorframe and a door, no attaching wall ruins. As well as this, the door seemed very modern. It was painted light green, and the door handle was metal with a handle. It looked like an ordinary modern house door. Grass had grown up around the bottom, implying it had been there for a while.

Like I said, I'd never seen it before despite having walked the trail a few times. I couldn't have missed it, either. It was right on the narrow trail, completely across the track walked into the grass. There was plenty of room to walk up onto the verge and go around it, but I was curious and it was slightly ajar, so I opened it fully (having to drag it through the grass and dirt that had built up around the door's base) and stepped through it.

Immediately something felt off. The best way to describe it is like strong deja vu; everything took on a weird, dreamlike atmosphere and I felt slightly outside of my own body. The trail looked the same ahead of me, but it all flickered like in heat haze, and the colors were very saturated. The strange dream feeling faded slightly and I was overcome with sudden dread; I darted back through the door again.

Immediately everything felt normal. I looked through the door from where I was now standing, and the trail also looked normal. I closed the door and walked around it, and nothing strange happened for the rest of the walk. I went back up the trail several more times but never saw the door again.

A lot of freaky things are reported on that mountain." L

ROCKY Is My GUARDIAN ANGEL

"I still hear the scratching and whimpering to this day, and I'm convinced Rocky has become sort of a Guardian Angel for me. I loved that dog."

I received the following account:

"Thanks for reading. I haven't shared this story with anyone other than family before.

So about a year before I was born, my parents got a Rottweiler named Rocky. Rocky was still a pup when they got him. And apparently, while my mom was pregnant with me, he refused to leave her side no matter what. He would freak out if she left the house without him. Clearly knew she was pregnant.

She told me that from the day I was born, he would stick to me like glue, sleeping in my parent's room next to my crib as a baby. And when I got moved into my own room, the first couple of nights they closed the door, but he would scratch at the door and whimper, being restless until they eventually gave up and let him sleep in my room with me.

Now, I would get scared of the dark, but my parents always told me Rocky was there to keep me safe. And since my bed was very high off the ground, he would crawl under it and sleep there sometimes. Especially when fireworks went off or during huge thunderstorms.

One day we had an attempted home invasion, the burglars didn't get far as they were met by Rocky breaking in. He did a number on them but unfortunately didn't survive. Enough of a number to get them to run for it.

From there on, now and then, when I slept with my door closed, I'd hear the clawing and the whimpering again. It would always persist until I got out of bed and then stop. And one night during a pretty big storm, my mom came in to check on me and told me she could have sworn she saw a tail sticking out from under my bed.

We didn't get a new dog for a year or 2 after that, and about a year in, we had some house guests and their child was very allergic to dogs. As they stayed over for the night, the kid was to sleep in my room with me. But whenever he came in his allergies would flare up like crazy. Only in my room.

I still hear the scratching and whimpering to this day, and I'm convinced Rocky has become sort of a Guardian Angel for me. I loved that dog." M

REAL ALIEN BEING, Disguised as a Human, Connected With Me!

"What happened next was something that is still hard for me to imagine. She put her hands near my eyes and looked me in the eye. I looked back and it was like I started falling into her head."

I received the following account:

"Hey. This story is unique and I know it's not like any alien encounters I have ever heard anyone else talk about. So this happened in a very crowded environment some 30+ years ago, in the mid-1980s. These two girls started talking to my friend and me. They were very nice and we sat and talked to them for a while. The girl I was talking to was East Indian. Her eyes were really wide open like you could see the entire iris of her eyes. Anyway, she started talking about some weird stuff about our government going to start tracking us, that one day people wouldn't use cash anymore and, at the time, that sounded pretty far out there (this was pre-internet).

She then started saying some REALLY far out stuff, like talking about how she was really over 80 years old (she was likely only about 20 or so), but it was entertaining and at one point she even said, "Don't think I'm just some crazy person." which I kind of laughed about.

But what happened next was something that is still hard for me to imagine it happened. She put her hands near my eyes and looked me in the eye. I looked back and it was like I started falling into her head as best I can explain. Then there was a really powerful buzz and she telepathically showed me she was an alien. I was absolutely terrified at that point. She then pulled her hands away and said, "Now you know." I was scared and wanted to run, but couldn't. I wanted to say something but I couldn't speak. It was almost as if someone shut me off. I could only just sit there and look around. I saw people walking by and wanted to yell for help, but I couldn't.

My friend was just standing there talking to the other girl. Then after maybe 10 minutes or so, my friend said, "I'm cold, let's go to the car to get my jacket." I still couldn't talk and just looked at the Indian girl/alien. He said again, "Let's go get my jacket." The Indian girl said, "I guess you better go."

I was able to then stand up, but still couldn't talk. We walked for about 5 minutes and it was like the spell was broken and I was me again. I tried to just get everything out at once and I blurted out, "That girl was an alien and she buzzed my brain." As I said that, the sheer horror of how crazy that sounded hit me. He laughed and I laughed kind of like I was just joking. I knew from that day forward nobody would ever believe my story. Even the most die-hard alien enthusiasts.

I felt somehow connected to her for another day or so. Like she somehow knew what I was doing in my daily life.

I would like to tell myself that it never really happened, that maybe I had some kind of once-in-a-lifetime psychotic break from reality or something that just makes sense, but the fact that she said, "Now you know" out loud right after the telepathic link makes it pretty hard to dismiss as something that was just in my mind."

SKINWALKER Runs Alongside Vehicle on Dark Arizona Highway!

"He ran at full speed. He had long dark hair and piercing eyes, and a nose like a muzzle but to a point, like a coyote. As he ran, he turned to me and bared his teeth!"

I received the following account:

"Hello, Lon. I recently came across your site. Now, I rarely tell this story because of what I want others to believe about me, and because it truly scares me. In fact, it scares me more than anything else in my life. More than my rational fears, more than any real risk. This is the most terrifying experience of my life.

It was 2008. I was recently married and my wife and I had driven to Las Vegas from Flagstaff, Arizona for dinner. After an evening there we were driving back because we had no money for a hotel. I hadn't been drinking, I was of a stable mind. It was late and I was a bit tired but I was young and had some coffee. It is after midnight, and lightly snowing. My wife was asleep next to me as I drove, and I was listening to some AM country music. I like drives like that, I just relax and think.

I don't believe in the supernatural. Even when I was a Christian I was never very into the ethereal world of angels and demons and ghosts. I never felt very 'spiritual.'

But as I drove along, on this empty road, I thought I heard my wife say something. I looked at her, and she was asleep, but I looked through her window and saw someone or something running next to my car.

He was about the height of the truck, maybe a little taller. He ran at full speed. He had long dark hair and piercing eyes, and a nose like a muzzle but to a point, like a coyote. He had a beaded shirt, with beads that made a shallow 'V' across his chest. His arms were scrawny and his face sunken, and hairy. As he ran, he turned to me and bared his teeth.

I immediately lost all breath from my lungs and was frozen. I gripped the wheel to control the vehicle, turned away from him, and looked back. He was losing lateral distance from the vehicle but still keeping pace. I turned back to the road and hit the gas.

I looked over again and he was gone. I looked in the rearview mirror and saw nothing in the road. Nothing ahead. I sat frozen holding the wheel and speeding down the road. I hadn't made a noise, my wife hadn't woken up. I didn't say anything, I didn't stop the rest of the way either.

When I got to Flagstaff I woke my wife and we went to bed but I could not sleep. Even as I write this I have a terrible feeling of dread. I've spent tons of time in the desert, in the forest, camping, and hiking. I feel fine at night in a cemetery. I have seen flying objects and assumed a logical reason for them. But I have no explanation for what happened that night. I saw that. It happened. Maybe I fell asleep, maybe it was a dream, but I don't personally believe it. That thing was there.

Years later I recounted this story to someone who lived in the area, who is Navajo. They told me that what I saw was a skinwalker, and it made sense. Right now I'm afraid, a grown man can be drawn close to tears from this. I don't believe in gods, I don't believe in angels or ghosts. But I believe in skinwalkers." N

Our Haunted Irish House Was Built on the 'HILL OF THE FAERIES'

"The arm was pale white and appeared to be female. It had a classic shroud-like sleeve ending a few inches before the wrist. It waved palm-side down for about five seconds and then retracted."

I received the following account:

"Thanks for reading my story. I grew up on the west coast of Ireland, in County Galway. One night when I was around 17 years of age I woke up in the middle of a gale with rain pelting the windows and wind whistling through the cracks. Now, on this night there was only myself and the mother, and the sisters inside in the house as my father was away minding the cattle due to it being calving season. Normally I'd be helping him out, but not so on this night.

We had these spotlights to illuminate the outside of the house and one of these spotlights shone directly up into my window and even with the curtains closed it would lighten up the room. The shadows of branches and long blades of grass would project onto the ceiling and the gale being what it was caused a frantic wildness to characterize this night's shadow play. I watched the shadows on the ceiling and listened to the wind roar outside for a short while. I sat up to take off my blanket and looked over at the door.

My view of the door was such that I couldn't from my bed see into the hallway unless the door was wholly ajar. The door was only slightly cracked. But it was open enough to allow the width of a human arm. And there extending into the room was just that.

The arm was pale white and judging by the shape of the hand on the end of it appeared to be female. It had a classic shroud-like sleeve ending a few inches before the wrist. It waved palm-side down for about five seconds and then retracted.

Now the gale and the lights and shadows and all that was bearable. Even the arm and hand would've been grand enough, I could've pegged it down to that sleep paralysis. But the way that arm retracted back into the hallway, the way the door handle moved downwards as the arm retracted, and the way the door slammed after it took my breath away!

I began to roar and shout and managed to get my bedside lamp on and covers off and began running around the room, opening the door of the hallway into nothingness, not a soul awake in the house besides myself and the ghost. I ran into the mother's room roaring about ghosts and she woke up and blearily told me, "Shut up! You'll wake your sisters!" Well, I calmed down and slept on the floor in my mother's room that night.

Now that house had been built by my parents. No one had died in it, nothing else even slightly paranormal happened in that house before or since.

A few weeks later though I was talking to the guy down the road, an old bachelor who had lived in the area his entire life. I told him about the ghost and his wiry smile got wider and he laughed. "Well, isn't that bit of land your folks built that house on called 'Cnóc na Sí' by the old people of the village? In Irish doesn't that mean 'Hill of the Faeries?" H

Massive GREENISH-BROWN, SPIDER-LIKE CREATURE Encountered in Des Moines, Iowa

"A massive, quick as hell, greenish-brown spider the size and morphology just like a 'face hugger' from the Alien movies, that crawled in a spiral downwards the tree!"

I received the following account:

"Hi. When I was 13 years old, my friend and I were out adventuring near a big factory in our city of Des Moines, Iowa, that was surrounded by tons and tons of trees that weren't cared for. My friend wanted to go on the tree grounds to look for lizards and cicadas, and I followed him around. We shuffled through trees and bushes, and after a while, he said he noticed something inside a gap in a tree, so he picked up a stick to poke at the gap. I was on the other side of the tree. All of a sudden I just heard him yell, "Super huge spider!" I turned around to face the tree and along came this massive, quick as hell, greenish-brown spider the size and morphology just like a 'face hugger' from the Alien movies, that crawled in a spiral downwards the tree.

Having never witnessed anything like that in my whole life, I yelped at the sight of it and took off running as fast as I could, my friend right behind me. After a few seconds, he said, "Wait, let's go back to get a good look at it." But there was no way in hell I'd want to go anywhere near that thing. However, after much convincing, I agreed go to back but only if we stayed away a good distance.

So we found our way back to that tree and that cursed thing is still hanging around there, unmoving, not even small movements. We tried to get the best look at it as we could while trying to stay at a safe distance. I remember that it had long legs just like the 'face hugger' just minus the tail.

One strange thing about it was it had this white and pinkish-looking disk of flesh under its body that was wider than the body itself. My friend got a longer stick to poke at the thing and made it move a bit before it moved around to the other side of the tree where we couldn't see it anymore. We would have to get closer to the tree to get to the other side of it, and frankly, at that point we were both too freaked out to do that so we just booked it out of there. Later on, we told our other friends about it and no one believed us." G
