TALL, UPRIGHT WHITE-EYED COYOTE Observed in Bushes Along California's I-10

The witness was with a friend and driving back to Arizona after visiting California. He observes a bizarre-looking creature that seems to have rotting flesh and other physical damage!

The following account was forwarded to me:

"I'm 18 and my friend (also 18) wanted me to take a few days off of school and go to California for Universal Studios. I live in Arizona, near Phoenix, and have never been to California. I had no problem with going to California so I got my parent's permission to go. I spent a day at his house because we would have to leave the next day to make it and not waste a day just wandering around a hotel or a random place. So we take about a day to drive and we make it, so we spend about a day there. On the drive home on Interstate 10 near Loma Linda, CA, it's night time and there is a long line of cars. It was because of people out of state visiting.

I look out the window and see a figure that was over 6 feet tall, skinny, looks like a coyote but really sick looking, just crouching behind a bush or something but I do know it started poking its head out to look at me. It looked as if it had little to no ears on it which kind of caught me off guard and it had white eyes like undead zombie white eyes.

Something happened that made it turn its head and I saw that it had sunken eyes. It had black or brown skin with hairs that looked fake and matted-down fur on its face and head. Its neck looked like it had a gunshot hole hanging down from it, a rotting piece of flesh hanging down. The cheeks were torn and rotting as well with blood on its bottom and top jaws and only maybe 10 teeth (some were slightly damaged but some were broken or almost entirely missing). Most were either slightly covered or somewhat covered in blood.

This creature stood up slowly and looked at me. While doing so without moving an inch and walking in an almost straight path. I didn't mention what I saw to my friend. Since then, I've tried to sleep but just stayed up watching YouTube. I have not spoken to anyone else about this since it happened.

Any idea of what I saw? Was it a zombie or an unknown humanoid?" E

LIZARD MEN: IMAGINATION OR CONSCIOUS NIGHTMARE - Join the LIVE CHAT - Q & A - Lon Strickler (Host)

All great legends are based on a real event. Subsequent events simply add to the legend. This seems to be the case for the Lizard Man of the Scape Ore Swamp, a phenomenon that crescendoed into a national story. It remains the namesake for the small town of Bishopville, South Carolina. I will talk about that incident during the presentation.
But is the lizard man or reptoid phenomenon a reality? Is it a figment of someone's imagination... or is it a flesh & blood, corporeal being?
I have received hundreds of accounts from experiencers over several decades. Every account is different, some more terrifying than others. I'll let you decide whether these are extraterrestrial or interdimensional humanoids... or a species of cryptid that occasionally makes itself known to unsuspecting witnesses.
So, listen to the reports, and form your conclusions about what these Lizard beings are. If you have questions, feel free to post them in the live chat. I will do my best to answer everyone.

Central Illinois BIGFOOT: We Were Stalked by the SALT CREEK MONSTER!

Two Central Illinois boys are night fishing in Salt Creek. Their mother drives to the bridge to pick them up. The boys decide to go home on their own. That's when the Salt Creek Monster emerges!

I received the following account:

"I live near Lincoln, Illinois. Lincoln is located in Central Illinois. It is 30 miles from the state capital, Springfield, and 35 miles each from Bloomington-Normal, Peoria, and Decatur. It has a population of about 12,000. I am now 53 years old, but when I was a little boy, me and my family had an encounter with 'The Salt Creek Monster.' At that time we lived out in the country less than 1/4 of a mile from Salt Creek. This was 2 miles outside an extremely small little village, Kenney, Illinois.

My Mom witnessed it cross the road right before the bridge that crossed Salt Creek. My brothers had been down there night fishing, and placing out "night lines." My Mom drove down to the bridge to get the boys and told them to get back up to the house. It was almost 10 p.m. and they weren't going to be allowed to stay out there all night. One of my brothers told my Mom they had seen "Bigfoot." Her, not believing them told them, "Well, you 2 boys get in the car, and come on home." They told her they had to gather their fishing poles and gear, and to please wait while they got it, and they would walk back up to the house. She agreed and waited while they did that, and they started back down the road. One of my brothers was on foot and one on his bike.

As they took off, she drove on toward the bridge to turn around on a little gravel drive, right before the bridge. She had her driver's side window down. As she got to the drive, a horrible smell of garbage, mixed with rotten sewage water, practically "smacked" her in the face through the window. In the headlights, a 6-foot tall, man-shaped..."thing" crossed the headlights from one side of the road to the other. It was light gray and completely hair-covered. It looked directly at the car as it passed by. She said she'll never forget those glowing yellow eyes. She said she had the hair on her arms, neck, and head all stood on end, and she's never felt that scared since. She turned into the drive, on the right side of the road, and slammed the gear shift into reverse, quickly doing a 3-point turn to go back away from the bridge, and back up the road to the house.

As she drove toward the house, this "thing" was running down the road. It was a full moon that night. The boys had been looking back, as they went to see where Mom was, and they saw this huge, muscular, man-shaped "thing" running in their direction. They later said they looked back, because this thing must have weighed a lot because they "felt" it running on the paved country road before they saw it. My brother, who was on foot was scared so bad, he passed my other brother on his bicycle, running! Mom was freaked out because it looked like it was going after the boys. She swerved over at the creature, and it jumped off the right side of the road, down 15 feet into the deep ditch, and, let out a blood-curdling scream.

Everyone got back up to the house, quickly got into the house, and locked all the doors and windows. They later said they could hear it walking around the house. It was "thudding" into the ground, and breathing loudly, as it went by windows. My sister and her best friend were sleeping out in a camper that fit into the bed of a pick-up truck. They heard something walk up to the camper, and circle it 5-6 times. They could hear deep, heavy breathing, and the dog that was scared of NOTHING, under the truck whining. It slapped the side of the camper and rattled the door knob. The girls stayed completely still and even held their breath, they were trying to be so quiet. After what seemed like forever, (but in reality was probably 30-40 seconds) they finally heard, whatever it was, (they never looked out any window to see), something "thud" off in the direction of Salt Creek. Sometime later, they heard something, off in the distance, in the same direction, they heard the thing, that only moments before had been circling their camper. That's when it let out an ungodly loud screeching howl that none of us will ever forget!" J

Did the Copiapo, Chile 'Los 33' Miners Encounter REPTILIAN HUMANOIDS?

The U.S. Government's response to the Copiapo, Chile mining accident has generated a variety of theories since the incident. The most curious theory involves Reptilian habitation.

The following information was forwarded to me by an associate:

I'm sure that many of you remember the mining accident that occurred in Copiapo, Chile in 2010. The incident brought worldwide attention to the entire region as the 33 miners miraculously survived what has been called “a cave-in” at the San Jose copper-gold mine in the Atacama Desert. The men somehow survived for a record 69 days. When they emerged safe and mostly sound, rumors began to spread from their friends, families, coworkers, eyewitnesses to the rescue, and others.

The rumors centered on the miners, how they survived, and what they had experienced during the ordeal.

The United States government became involved not long after the accident. A U.S. drilling company was brought in to take the lead in drilling efforts, although this role has been somewhat minimized after the rescue. Upon rescue, most of the 33 miners were immediately quarantined and debriefed by black-suited U.S. agents of an unknown agency. Only 3 men were exempt from this initial debriefing because of extreme dental problems and required immediate dental surgery under general anesthesia.

The official account states that the other miners were in general good health except for scratch, gouge, puncture, and slash wounds resulting from the cave-in and attempts to dig out. U.S. defense contractors, heavily armed, discreetly guarded a mini-compound occupied by U.S. interests inside the tent city that sprang up around the mining site.

Immediately after “Los 33″ (the name given to the miners translating as “The 33″), a team of NASA scientists entered the tunnel system, escorted by armed defense contractors and what appeared to be a Special Forces team, eyewitnesses reported. A perimeter was then secured around the entrance as a fence was erected, preventing further visual observation.

So why was NASA involved? Here is the supposed official response. NASA was conducting soil tests of the most arid desert in the world, the Atacama Desert, which also happens to harbor an extensive array of large cavern systems perfect for simulated Mars research. NASA has stated that the arid conditions and cave formations in the Atacama Desert are good matches for the terrain on Mars and has dispatched a team of scientists there to explore the region's caverns. It has also been reported that this team of scientists has security provided by defense contractors and Special Operations operatives. This team of NASA scientists may be the very team sighted entering the San Jose mine after Los 33 was rescued. But why?

While NASA publicly admitted to exploring the caves of the Atacama Desert to conduct “Martian research,” their subterranean forays might have a classified mission attached to them as well.

A defense contractor for security, who wished to remain anonymous to retain his or her position, stated that NASA was looking for alien life on our own planet. The life may or may not be indigenous to Earth, but certainly lives here, deep in major cavern systems, said the contractor. For years NASA has had reports of ‘reptoids’ or ‘reptilian humanoids.’ Something happened and they decided to begin investigating. Why in the Atacama?

A statement from an unknown source began to circulate. "...we found things. Remains of weird, shredded animals. Molted skin or something. And there was a brief firefight after one of our contractors went missing. The strange thing about his disappearance was all the blood, and then reading that he had been killed in Afghanistan four months later.”

NASA officially ended its Atacama exploration in late 2010, perhaps with the events leading up to the Chilean mining disaster in mind. The friends of Los 33 tell a chilling tale that is far different from the official account provided by mainstream media outlets.

According to people close to Los 33, friends, family, and some who simply overheard the stories circulating around, the incident was no simple “cave-in.” This accounting has been pieced together from various conversations, emails, and written letters.

Apparently, while searching for the source of a vein of gold, one of the mining detachments blasted through a wall of rock and discovered an enormous natural cavern on the other side whose walls shined with over a dozen thick veins of gold and other precious metals. The detachment members were quite happy and some of the men broke protocol by charging into the room to pick-ax gold nuggets. Word spread quickly, “like bad air,” someone said. Soon, dozens of miners were all over the cavern entrance, picking at the gold, making lots of noise, and ignoring their jobs. As the detachment leader tried to wrangle the men back into the mine, a small group of men explored farther into the cavern.

Soon, things quieted down a bit, as miners focused on picking at the gold veins. “Everyone was very happy,” a miner’s relative stated, “until they heard screams coming from across the cavern. Most of the miners were spooked and ran back into the mines except for the detachment leader who ordered men from his team to come with him to help the screaming men.” By the time they got to the location of the screaming, it was too late. They found four or five men (it was hard to tell who was who and if all the parts were still there) in pools of splattered blood. “It was a gory mess,” said someone. One of the detachment crew had gotten blood all over himself, having slipped on a puddle of it. He lost his wits, trying to wipe the blood and gore from his face with a fresh handkerchief (later confiscated by NASA for DNA testing). As they tried to calm him down, the detachment heard hissing and crackling, like nails or claws making their way across the wet stone. The team called for help on their walkie-talkies and immediately left the cave (“ran for their lives,” in one email account).

Having made their way through the blast hole, they realized that two of them were missing. More screams echoed from the cavern, these more bloodcurdling than the first set. The detachment leader made a decision as he saw “bloody, walking lizards” coming for the blast hole. He ordered the hole blasted shut immediately and set three crews to work. In a frantic rush, they rigged explosives as the “reptoids” advanced, still chewing on the remains of the doomed miners who had ventured too far.

One or two reptoids made it through the initial blast hole as crews rolled wire down the tunnel, so as not to be caught in the blast. Reptoids now in the mining tunnels began to kill anyone foolish enough to challenge them with hand-held, powered mining equipment. Finally, the explosives were ready and the detachment leader ordered the blast.

The explosion resulted in a cave-in of sorts, sealing the original blast hole under tons of rock. However, an untold number of the reptilian fiends were loose in their tunnels. Most, they hoped, had been killed in the blast, but no one was certain how many, if any, were roaming. More screaming told them that at least one was still lurking. At this point, the miners believed there were about 44 survivors in the area. After fighting with the reptoid in the dark for a few hours of hide-and-seek (and having many more deaths), the remaining 33 took shelter in the protected area built for cave-ins. The area also prevented the reptoid from entering. Here they remained in horror and shock for the next 17 days as more cave-ins happened around them, unsure whether they were caused by the reptoid(s) trying to dig in, out, or from blast damage.

Many of Los 33 have developed herpetophobia (fear of lizards, and reptiles) since their ordeal.

NOTE: The associate who forwarded this information has mentioned some of these scenarios previously. He tells me that he talked to 3 of the miners over the years, but they preferred that most questions be answered by friends and relatives. The reason given is that most of the miners have suffered extreme PTSD. That may be true, but it also seems to be a somewhat convenient excuse. Nonetheless, I wonder what your thoughts are on this.

HIDEOUS, EVIL GNOME Terrorizes Residents in Porterville, California Home

A reader forwarded this account of a supposedly evil gnome that was terrorizing a farmhouse near Porterville, California. I don't know the background on this, so I'm posting as is.

"A woman by the name of Tammy moved herself and her three children into a small farmhouse on the Tule River near Porterville. Soon after moving in Tammy started feeling like something was watching them and had an uneasy feeling every time she walked by the old barn. For some reason, most of the animals on the farm seemed to avoid the rickety old building and soon she noticed that the number of her ducks and chickens had started to dwindle, but couldn't figure out why. She was soon going to have an idea why.

One night Tammy and her son were coming back from grocery shopping when, as she parked the car and got out, she noticed movement to her right. Thinking nothing of it she picked up a grocery bag and noticed it again, this time accompanied by what she described as a "very freaky, very evil-sounding chuckle." Looking in the direction of the noise Tammy noticed about 50 yards from her a small humanoid-looking figure. Or as she described it, a gnome.

The figure was about two to three feet in height and wore black baggy pants and a gold-colored shirt. The face was partially covered by a long salt and pepper beard and on top of the head was a long, red pointed hat. The nose was large and bulbous and the eyes were rather deep-set. As the figure grinned at them, Tammy noticed that the grin was almost from ear to ear and the teeth looked to be an ugly brown color and appeared to be either pointed or jagged.

Horrified, Tammy dropped the groceries, grabbed her son, and ran off towards the house with the cackling little man right on her heels. Tammy was able to get inside the house and was telling her two daughters what she saw when she saw movement outside the kitchen window. Upon investigating she saw the top of the figure's red pointed hat moving back and forth underneath the window. Finally, after what must have seemed like an eternity, the figure disappeared and Tammy was able to get the groceries from the car. This was the only time she actually saw the figure, but until she moved out she would always hear creepy chuckling coming from the old barn, as if it was taunting her or something.

You would think that this would be an isolated occurrence, but it seems the gnome wasn't satisfied with just terrorizing Tammy and her family.

In March 2010, a family moved into the same house on the Tule River. According to the wife, Charlie, it was perfect for what their family needed. Her husband took a particular liking to a pond on the property and decorated it with fairy, gnome, and toadstool yard ornaments and stocked it with Japanese koi fish. Not surprisingly, Charlie and her family also had an eerie feeling about the old barn on the property and tried to stay away from it as much as possible.

One night, at around 3:00 am, Charlie and her husband were woken by what can only be described as a "raspy, gurgling singing." Charlie and her husband looked out their bedroom window and what they saw defied what they considered their reality. Standing by the pond and holding one of the garden gnomes was a creature that came out of a Grimm's Fairy Tale, as Charlie described it. The creature was two to three feet tall, wearing maroon pants, a baggy yellow shirt with a brown vest over it, and a dark waistcoat. It had a large gray beard and was wearing a reddish-brown pointed hat. Charlie went on to say the most horrible part of the creature was its eyes and teeth. When it grinned its teeth appeared to be jagged and pointed and the eyes were small and beady and had a dark mean look to them.

Apparently, the creature saw the couple looking at it and reached into the pond, grabbed a koi, dropped it into its mouth, and swallowed it. Furious, Charlie's husband pushed open the window and yelled at the creature to leave the yard or he'd call the police. The gnome grinned and laughed as he gave them the finger and disappeared. The police were called, being notified that an "intruder" was on the property, but when they got there an hour later the only evidence that was found was small footprints, about the size of a child's, around the pond.

There were other times the gnome would visit the pond. Night after night it would be seen holding a yard ornament and eating a fish. The family eventually woke up, moved the ornaments, and put the fish into a tank inside the house. Apparently, this didn't go over well with the gnome. Upon the usual time of its appearance of 3:00 am, when the gnome saw that the yard ornaments and fish had been removed it went into a crazed frenzy and began yelling and screaming in some language that nobody could understand. But they understood it was pissed. It began to run around the house screaming in whatever language was native to it. The family felt safe until Charlie realized the dog door in the kitchen was unlocked and feared the creature would try to enter the house through that. She was able to lock it and then ran upstairs to close the rest of the windows. The last they heard of the creature was a very loud screeching, cackling sound that was heard underneath one of the living room windows. Charlie's husband went to investigate and saw the top of the creature's hat underneath the window."

NOTE: I did find a reference to this in an older article written and posted at Mysterious Universe, but beyond that, there are vague mentions of the account online. Lon

Normal, Illinois Witness Observes POSSIBLE WINGED HUMANOID Flying Above

The Normal, Illinois witness is watching the Taurid meteor shower on the night of 11/10/2015 when he observes an unknown winged being flying above him. Was this a winged humanoid?

Normal, IL - 2015-11-10: I watched some meteor showers, so I was watching for the Taurid fireballs. Turned out the lights in the house so it would be dark, went to see if anything was happening, stood there, waited for about five or ten minutes, and saw my first fireball.

Knowing this would be a good night I set myself up with an Adirondack chair with a soft drink, and blanket cushion, for a lengthy stay. Saw one or two small ones, about to lose interest, while facing north I could barely make out something coming straight at me about 30 degrees off the horizon. It had no lights, made no noise, seem to be gliding. Couldn't make out what it was, but looked to be about 20 feet across which I thought to look like something hanging down underneath.

Not knowing what it was or what to expect, I started to get a better look at this thing but my mind and eyes wouldn't let me accept what I was seeing. It glided straight over my porch with the roof, so I jumped up and ran to the south end of the porch. Waiting for it to come on over there it was. It looked to be 1 or 2 hundred feet above me. I watched it glide out of sight. I do some flying, Cessna, and can judge pretty well how high something is and by judging with that if it were a plane I could have read the numbers on a plane. I could see it! It seemed to adjust for gliding but had no known propulsion. Stayed even keel, same elevation, same speed, same direction.

First I said pterodactyl? But no visible head, letting my head accept what I saw. It seemed to be some sort of entity. And by searching the internet I came across 'Mothman.' With what I thought were light-colored bags hanging down. Now I'm thinking of legs hanging down. With dark brown wings. But enough about what I think, there you go. That's my story and I'm sticking to it. - MUFON CMS

NOTE: This account was in my archives, but I failed to make a possible connection with a winged humanoid. Could this sighting be connected to the Chicago Mothman phenomenon? Lon

Witness Watched 8-FOOT-TALL BIGFOOT ATTACK DEER on RT. 62 in Venango County, PA

On Christmas Night 2018, the witness is driving home along Rt. 62 near President Township, PA in Venango County. He sees a young deer enter the roadway, suddenly attacked/killed by a Bigfoot.

I received the following account:

"I was at my cousin’s home in Tionesta, PA for Christmas dinner in 2018. I stayed until 9:00 pm. On my way back home, in Oil City, I was driving near PA State Game Land #47. There was a slight downhill on the left side of the road and it goes uphill to a ridge top and is very dense with hemlock and mountain laurel-covered on the steep river hillside, above the Allegheny River. I have hunted the area before, so I generally drive a little bit slower and am a little more attentive in areas where we frequently see the deer to prevent hitting them.

So, I was driving home, watching for deer, when a young deer, I would say a yearling or early fawn from this year came stumbling onto the road like it had been tripped or pushed. In seconds, a huge, hairy figure jumped off of the bank and landed in the middle of the other lane next to the deer that was just regaining its footing. In one motion, it scooped the deer up in its left arm, which caused it to blat loudly, similar to a spine-shot deer that needs to be finished off to prevent its suffering. By this time, I'm barely moving while watching this scene unfold. In just a moment, it took its right hand, grabbed the deer's head, and twisted and broke its neck effortlessly. It seemed to have been so concentrated on catching the deer, that it didn’t notice me right away.

After it dispatched the deer, it turned slightly to its left, towards me, and, having my high beams on, I saw it well, only 15-20 yards from my bumper. Its lips parted slightly and it let out a low, rumbly growl and just hurdled the far guardrails, easily and must have sprung at least 20 feet in that one leap. It was a dark auburn to black, but it seemed to have reddish highlights in front of the headlights. I only got to see part of its face, the left side, and from the back really well. It was 8 feet or so tall, longer from the waist to head than waist to foot, and didn’t seem to have a cone-shaped head from the angle I saw it from, hands had to have spanned a foot or more across. It was at least 4 feet across the shoulders, legs as big as my waist and I am 6 feet and 270 lbs. I know without a doubt this was a Bigfoot, a flat nose, had pointed canines, upper and lower on the left side when its lips parted, not really pronounced, but noticeably pointed. It had fairly long hair, and its face was bare from its protruding brow ridge to its lower lip. Gray/black skin kind of looked like supple leather, not worn.

I just sat there for several minutes to get my composure. As much as I wasn’t quite sure what I saw those years ago, I’m convinced it wasn’t a black bear, but I am positive that this was a Sasquatch. I have looked into it the past few days and here it’s not more than 3 miles from where another guy had had a couple encounters when hunting and trout fishing along Rt 62 between Oil City and President Township in Venango County. I was open that they may exist, but still somewhat skeptical. Not anymore! This happened so quickly, but long enough there is no doubt in my mind what I saw.” H

INTERDIMENSIONAL REPTILIAN ATTACK! The Exorcism of Clarita Villanueva

The following case was forwarded to me by my colleague C. Radu. I contacted the original webmaster who permitted me to repost the incident and particulars. I also added more information.

"In the course of years of intensive research and subsequent lecturing about the reptilian influence in the UFO phenomena, this researcher has documented hundreds of cases regarding reptilian "alien" contact. According to the statistical analysis of these reports, the reptilian species appear to be split in their attitude towards humanity.

Many reptilian "aliens" appear to people as non-emotional creatures intent on performing acts that are considered by humans as evil or malicious. Some reptilians, on the other hand, contact humans and engage in acts considered benevolent or highly spiritual. These contrasting reports indicate that, although we may live above an underground (and dimensional) domain that is managed by a primarily negative species, just as within the human race, some reptilians are attempting to shift the balance of power towards a positive polarity.

When a person encounters a reptilian "alien" that displays hatred or contempt towards them, it is extremely difficult to try to get the experiencer to recognize this duality in their behavior or to accept the possibility that benevolent reptilians exist. In contrast, when an individual makes contact with a benevolent reptilian, they tend to believe that all reptilians are spiritually enlightened and welcome reptilian "alien" contact without reservation. This can be extremely dangerous to our being able to maintain an objective perspective regarding this phenomenon.

This report is written for the experiencer who believes that all reptilians are beautiful and wonderful beings. Beware, they are not all alike. Some reptilians, physical or non-physical, are very evil creatures that are intent on causing physical and psychological torture. Many women and men have been their targets. Some of their victims survive to live a normal life, while others endure endless days and nights of terrifying memories. If your beliefs are that the reptilians are only harbingers of beauty, love, and healing, however, it is vital to your soul to read the following."

Case: Interdimensional Beings Attacking Human Female.

Subject: Clarita Villanueva, Female

Location: Manila, Philippines

Date: May, 1951

Witnesses:

Dr. Marianna Lana (Attending Physician), Arsenio Lascon (Mayor), two local constables, and several newspaper reporters.

"It was a sultry May evening in 1951, and the Manila police patrols were expecting trouble. There was the smell of it in the air and it was as safe a prediction as the storm warning which was being made by the distant rumble of the approaching thunderstorm. That was why a patrol car sped instantly along the main street when they received a message that a crowd was gathering outside one of the waterfront bars. The car skidded to a stop as a terrified scream rang out. Forcing their way through the watching crowd, the constables saw a girl rolling about on the ground.

She was shouting: "Keep it away from me! Keep it away. Oh, please, won't someone help me? I can't stand the pain!"

But there was nothing anybody could do, for there was no one anywhere near the girl. The shocked policemen clearly saw teeth marks appearing on the girl's arms and neck. As nobody else moved to help her, the crowd just watched in superstitious honor, the constables sprang forward and carried the frantically struggling girl to the car, manacled her-and drove at top speed all the way to headquarters. All during the journey she fought against the manacles screaming and sobbing"

"Please call The Thing off. It's biting me to death. I can't stand it anymore..."

But there was little the policemen could do, in fact, there was nothing anybody at headquarters could do, but summon the police doctor. At first, they suspected that the girl, Clarita Villaneuva, had been taking drugs or drinking. But there was a more macabre, inexplicable reason for it all. A reason so fantastic that, at first it even fooled the police medical officer, Dr. Marianna Lara, who gave her one quick look and snapped: "She's having an epileptic fit."

The policemen next took Clarita to a cell, ignoring her pleas not to leave her alone. As the cell door slammed, Clarita collapsed to the floor sobering bitterly. A few minutes later, she started screaming uncontrollably and this time the two policemen came running. The distraught girl moaned to them: "The Thing is coming at me. It's coming through the cell door as if it weren't there." Whatever "It" was, looked like a man, she claimed, but it had big bulging eyes and wore a cape over its shoulders. And it could float in mid-air!

The policemen let themselves into the cell, but they could see nothing. All they could do was try to calm the girl. Yet, even as they watched, more and more bite marks began appearing on her arms. This time, the policemen decided to send for the chief of police, the mayor, and, once again, the medical officer, Dr. Lara. They arrived and everybody agreed that the bites could not possibly have been self-inflicted for no one could bite herself on the back of the shoulders. Yet Clarita clearly was being bitten there!

Eventually, the exhausted girl fell asleep and in the morning she had to appear in court to face charges of vagrancy. But just as she was being taken into the court, she screamed that "The Thing" was back. The two policemen beside her saw teeth marks, deep and painful looking on her arms, hands, and neck. Several newspaper reporters, court officials, and Dr. Lara also stared at them in sheer astonishment. For five terrifying minutes, the attack went on until Clarita fell unconscious to the floor. Then the amazed medical officer carried out an on-the-spot examination and found himself baffled! "These bites are genuine," he told reporters. "And they are not self-inflicted!"

The reporters knew they were on to a great story and rushed to catch their editions. Half an hour later, Mayor Arsenio Lascon arrived and spoke to Clarita, whose arms and hands were badly swollen by then. Mayor Lascon decided to ride in the ambulance with the medical officer, Lara, and see that nothing happened to the unfortunate girl. But even in the ambulance, she shouted once again that "The Thing" was after her. Only on this occasion, there were two of the creatures, both with the same large, staring eyes. Both the mayor and the doctor said on oath that they watched as vicious-looking teeth marks came up on both sides of the girl's throat and her hands, even as the mayor was holding them to comfort her.

It took fifteen minutes for the ambulance to reach the hospital-and to Lascon they were the longest fifteen minutes of his life. It seemed more like twenty-four hours in Hell, he said afterward. Strangely, once the girl was in the hospital, the attacks ceased, and although she was guarded night and day nothing ever happened. She recovered and was released from the hospital six weeks later.

Dr. Lara, once skeptical, was now deeply interested in the case and recorded:

"What happened to Clarita Villanueva is a complete mystery, something which defies description. She was repeatedly attacked by something with invisible sharp fangs. We shall never know what it was, but I don't mind admitting that I was scared stiff." And even today, Clarita still has bite marks all over her body...evidence of the impossible was, unhappily, possible!" (A Look Through Secret Doors By John Mackim, 1969, Ace Publishing)

Check out the video

Notes:

Who or what was the attacker? Stories of invisible creatures viciously assaulting women are not new. It has been ongoing since time began. Clarita Villanueva described the creature as having "Large, staring eyes", the ability to move through solid matter, and wearing a cape. This report is remarkably similar to those of women who claimed to have been sexually attacked by inter-dimensional reptilian beings. This case was remarkable in the fact that her attack was witnessed by so many bystanders. People who could do little else other than stand by helplessly, watching her be inflicted by unseen "large-eyed" creatures who walked through walls.

Could this attack have been inflicted upon Clarita by two inter-dimensional Draco reptilian beings? Could Clarita have misidentified their retracted bat-like wings as capes during her frightful encounter? Reports of these creatures attacking animals and humans are increasing. The veiled boundary or border that separates dimensions is slowly collapsing and are we about to be invaded by something that's already here, perhaps even beside you as you read this.

NOTE: I'd like to read your thoughts on this case. After researching and investigating David Eckhart's ordeal over the past 15 years or so, many of the characteristics described in the account parallel David's multiple encounters with the Reptilians. Lon

Creepy WHITE, HAIRLESS 'NOT DEER' Encountered Near Eastern Kentucky University

A couple is taking a walk, at night, in a nature area near Eastern Kentucky University. They observe a white, possibly hairless 'Not Deer' with a bizarre body shape and unnatural eyes.

I received the following account:

"In the late Fall of 2016, I was in college at Eastern Kentucky University. My now fiancé and I wanted to spend some time together one night. She came to Richmond, KY to come to see me and we decided to go for a walk around the Taylor Fork Ecology Area that was a few miles off campus.

We tried to drive into the park but her car (Volkswagen Beetle) had trouble going over the poorly maintained gravel road leading into the area, so we parked at a nearby church and walked up the same gravel road instead.

About 5-10 minutes into the walk we heard something moving in the brush off to the side so we stopped and I shined my light in the direction I heard the noise and saw something I couldn’t recognize. From the ground to its head it was about 4 feet high and had a shape somewhere in between a female deer and some kind of tall slender dog. It had eyes that glowed yellowish white in the light of my phone, and had stark white skin, like there was no fur. The body was deer-shaped but the eyes looked like they faced forward like a predator. That’s the part I can’t wrap my head around. I wish I had taken a video or photo but we were terrified and without thinking we turned around and went in the opposite direction, walking quickly.

Then I heard footsteps on the gravel behind us. I grabbed her hand and we ran all the way back down the path and made it to her car. I know this is kind of a long-winded story but if anyone has seen something similar or has an idea of what this animal could have been, it’s been on my mind ever since." R

BLACK-EYED GIRLS or SPIRIT MANIFESTATION? Creepy Encounter in the Pocono Mountains

A couple is driving home on backroads in the Pocono Mountains area of Pennsylvania. They observe 2 young girls dressed in century-old clothing. Getting nearer, they notice that they have black eyes.

The following account was forwarded to me:

"In 2013 I moved with my family into a 6-bedroom home on 14 acres in the Poconos Mountains in Pennsylvania. My father and I noticed very weird things going on the second we moved in, but my mother and sister seemed to not notice these things.

There is some evidence that the entire area where this house is located is haunted. The area is known for its early indigenous tribe activity.

My uncle on my mother’s side and his girlfriend come to visit my parent's home. They do this quite often as my parents always have people over for beer, games, bonfires, etc. I just want to start off by saying my uncle is a non-believer. I have never seen him really scared of anything or anyone.

My uncle and his girlfriend are playing foosball with my parents when they realize it is 12:30 am so they decide to head home. They take all back roads and once they turn onto Running Valley Road (6 minutes from the house). My uncle’s girlfriend saw two figures (they were pretty far away at this point) but it was two small figures waiting to cross the road. Just to mention there was nothing out here. No houses (besides one abandoned that was still two miles up the road ) Only thing in the vicinity was a cave. These figures were attempting to cross the road to go into the woods, which was very odd because of the time and location.

They are now approaching these figures (headlights start to shine directly on them). Both my uncle and his girlfriend, see two young girls aged 9-11 approximately. One much bigger than the other. Wearing what my uncle best describes as “Early 1900s church clothing.” Like dresses to the knee, with white cotton shawls or cropped sweaters, and flats. Weird right? WTF are two 10-year-olds doing at 12:30 am in the middle of nowhere wearing church clothing? They also noticed the bigger child had her arms wrapped around the smaller one. Like you would do if she was hurt, scared, or cold?

At this point, my uncle's girlfriend is like, “It’s children, we need to stop and help!” Now at this point, the truck is almost right next to the little girls. Both had their heads held down. So then the bigger of the two starts to pick her head up to look at the passing vehicle. Then both my uncle and his girlfriend noticed the girl had black eyes! She says, “WTF was that? You saw that right? OMG turn around and go back right now.” My uncle was scared, took off, and didn't turn back.

They get home and get into an argument because she wants to drive back and see what is up. She grabbed her own car keys and my uncle basically was like, “You're not going back there, we are never going on that road again.”

He calls my parents in an extreme panic and tells them and they start bugging him because they know he would never lie or be THAT freaked out if it wasn’t warranted. So my mom starts to tell me everything (mind you, my family knows NOTHING about black-eyed kids, never heard of it before). I send my mom an article to forward to my uncle with some of the very basic information."

NOTE: I'm not sure if these we corporeal girls with black eyes or if they were a manifestation of spirit energy. Either way, it's a creepy encounter. Lon

BIGFOOT Reported by Witness in Laurel Ridge State Park, Pennsylvania

The witness was riding in her mother's car while passing through on Rt. 56 in Laurel Ridge State Park, PA when she observed a Bigfoot among the trees. The location is in Cambria County.

The following account was forwarded to me:

"The date was September 21, 2022, at around noon. We were driving back from an appointment that afternoon and I always look at hillsides and power line clearings for any kind of animal and I have done so since I was a child. We were coming through the Laurel Ridge State Park area on Rt. 56 in Cambria County, Pennsylvania. (Near the Laurel Highland Hiking Trail around the trailhead).

I just happened to look to the left on the embankment because something told me to look in that direction and I saw a dark brownish figure standing in between two trees with its back facing the road, and it had to have been at least 6-6.5 feet tall from what I can estimate. It had one arm leaning up against the tree to the right of it and it was hunching down to pick something up. There was a defined head on it like an ape, round towards the base and slowly went up to a dull point at the top.

I instantly shouted, "Stop! We have to turn around." My mother had no clue what was going on and I told her that I swore I just saw a Bigfoot back there in between two trees up on the hill. So we turned to sound further up the road and went back to see if I was seeing what I thought I was or if it was an actual person, however by the time I got back to the spot, it was gone. I’m so mad I didn’t have a camera rolling and it happened so quickly I didn’t have time to even grab my phone to take a photo. After I processed what I had seen I started feeling excited, but almost terrified at the same time if that makes sense."

NOTE: An original report was made to the Pennsylvania Bigfoot Project by the witness. The witness contacted me recently. I'm going to assign a team investigator to check out the area. There have been multiple sightings in the area over the years, including cryptid canines, big cats, and UFOs. Lon
