New Zealand Builder Encounters NOISY SHADOW BEING in Motel Room

A New Zealander builder is staying at a motel in Te Anau while working on a job. During his stay, he encounters a shadow being that pins him down while uttering a low groaning sound.

I received the following account:

"Hi, Lon. This experience happened to my son a year ago. My son is a builder. He is 27 now. Brent lives in Invercargill, New Zealand and this happened where we live in Te Anau which is 2 hours from Invercargill. He was staying at a motel called the Anchorage while doing some work at a school. Brent has a twin brother who has had shadow man experiences too.

I've also shared this with Cam and Kyle and was so pleased when they read it out on their show. I love your show and the connection you have with Expanded Perspectives.

Many thanks for your work. Catherine"

-----

This is Brent's story as he wrote it:

"I'm working in Te Anau for the week, It's early Tuesday morning, I haven't slept well, and my shoulder still hurts.

I hear what I think is the door to my room opening, I think in my head What the hell does my workmate want this early? (I remember feeling annoyed because I thought my workmate was invading my space too early in the morning) I also think it's strange it's still dark, if he wanted my attention surely he would turn on the lights or knock first.

I turn my eyes to the door, but this is all I'm able to do, I can't move, speak, or respond in any way, it's like there's a heavy weight over my entire body, at this point my heart is beating a little faster than normal.

I can see a figure open the slider slightly, enter the room, and move from the doorway to beside my bed in the darkness, I can only describe it as a pure black figure with a big head and pretty tall as well, with no facial features at all, it stands there looking at me for a second before uttering a low noise. ''aaaahhhhh'' but not yelling, just a low vocal noise, at this point I have a terrible feeling of doom and defenselessness like something bad will happen that I cant stop.

I begin struggling against this force holding me down, although paralysed. It takes incredible effort, I try to yell f*ck off (all I could think to say at the moment) I try to jump out of bed but I cannot. It disappears after a few moments and I get up and look at my phone, its 5.45 am, 15 minutes before my alarm is set to go off after it's gone I don't feel like I woke up, I felt I was awake the whole time, but I definitely felt the weight lift from me and it was all over."

BIGFOOT Experience Reports From WISCONSIN

Here are a few hairy hominid or Bigfoot encounter & experience reports from eyewitnesses in Wisconsin:

"I am writing about a sighting I had on June 26, 2011, around 8:00 pm at Nelson Lake, Wisconsin. I was fishing from my canoe about 30 yards. from the shore near Tanning Point when I noticed a whimpering sound. It was coming from the woods at the shoreline. It sounded like a dog whining, so I stopped what I was doing to watch the woods to see if anything appeared. After a few seconds, I saw a child scampering from the woods. I didn't get a very good look but the child had very thick brown hair all over its body and was very small (human toddler size). It quickly showed itself and then bolted back towards the woods.

I sat there in shock. But within seconds I heard three distinct and angry 'grunts'. I then saw a large ape-like head rise above the lower tree boughs. The eyes were barely visible but I could tell that it didn't want me there. That was enough for me so I started to paddle towards the north shore when all of a sudden I heard a loud 'plop' and then 'splash' from behind the boat. I turned around in time to see another rock heading in my direction. It was many yds. from me but I got the message.

I was shaking from the time I witnessed these beasts up until a few hours later when I was in my home office pondering what I had seen. I think it may have been Bigfoot. I Googled 'Wisconsin Bigfoot' and your blog came up. Was this a Bigfoot? I'm not an outdoorsman though I enjoy canoeing and fishing. Have there been other sightings in this area? Is there a danger? I appreciate your help.

I am a state employee so I would prefer my identity remain confidential. Thank you." L

The following incident was in the same area:

"According to the Sawyer County Sheriff’s Department, two deputies responded to an alleged Bigfoot, or Sasquatch, sighting on Highway 63 just south of Seeley on the evening of Jan. 3.

Since then the sighting has been the topic of conversation in that small community, with multiple reported sightings being called into the Sawyer County Record office since.

Chief Deputy Tim Zeigle confirmed that two deputies responded to the call, only to find footprints and hair at the site. But “unless Bigfoot was wearing boots,” Zeigle laughed, “I think it’s pretty much a prank.

“A lady called in and said ‘You probably think I’m nuts, but I’m not … I have not been drinking.’ She reported seeing a Bigfoot or someone dressed in an ape suit on Highway 63 near Stark Road,” Zeigle said. “We sent a couple officers up there and what they found was a set of foottracks going from the road to the timberline and back to the road and they also found a long, black hair.” He affirmed that there have been no sightings since then.

But the story takes a curious turn from there.

According to another reported sighting obtained by the Record, a Wausau man, who wishes to remain unnamed, and his nephew were snowmobiling on a trail just southwest of Seeley when they saw something unusual cross the trail.

“I don’t know what I saw, but my nephew and I both saw something very real,” he said. “We only saw legs from the hips down as it was caught in the headlights of our snowmobiles. It stepped out of the woods, walking upright, and stepped across the trail right in front of my nephew who was ahead of me 20-30 feet.

“The legs were long (and) covered with long dark hair,” he continued. “My first thought was it was a drunk walking through the woods after leaving the Sawmill Saloon, but that makes no sense. We were quite a ways west of the Sawmill and there is no trail or crossing anywhere near there for someone to be walking.”

After gunning their snowmobiles past, the two turned around to explore the area and find tracks. But they had not marked the spot with a landmark and were unsuccessful at finding any sign when they returned to the area.

“We saw these legs for only a very brief moment, but again, it was very real,” he added.

Following up on the sighting, several possible theories have been revealed.

Cindy Ferraro of the Sawmill Saloon said that one potential explanation is that something was roused when the managed portion of the Uhrenholdt Memorial Forest south of Highway OO was cleaned up a few months ago. She said a friend who lives in the Seeley Hills area has reported unusual behavior coming from her dogs lately; they seem to be agitated by something out of the ordinary.

NOTE: I believe Seeley, Wisconsin is near Nelson Lake, northeast of Rt 63. Here is a link to a previous sighting reported to the BFRO - Man recalls encounter at a cabin on Nelson Lake. Lon

"I am writing about something that happened to me about 30 years ago.

I live in a small lake area called Bohners Lake, just outside of Burlington, Wisconsin. At the time of this tale, I lived on the opposite side of the lake from where I live now about a half mile away from a boy scout camp called Camp Oh-Da-Ko-Ta. This camp encompasses 185 acres of beautiful rolling hills and woodlands on Dyer Lake.

It was a beautiful summer day and I decided to take a walk with my dogs, a Golden Retriever and English Setter. I went a different way than usual and happened upon the back trail to the camp. It was chained off, but I chanced it anyway and hopped over to check it out.

The trail was very quiet and peaceful and we walked for a while enjoying ourselves greatly. After a bit, we came upon some buildings. One was a large pole barn type that had its doors chained shut. Curiosity overtook me, as usual, and I went up and pushed on one of the large doors allowing a crack of about 6 inches. I tried peering inside and couldn't see much but a floor and empty space.

I was shocked when an earsplitting roar came out of the barn. It sounded like a scream but deep, guttural, and bearlike.

Well, my dogs took off running, and I took off running after them terrified. We ran back to my house and, shaking like a leaf and out of breath, I told my (now ex) husband what had happened. He of course told me that what I had heard was a crane. I just stared at him incredulously. I knew better, but I wasn't going to argue the point with him and just pondered on it for a bit by myself, attempting to calm down.

The day went on and nothing else was said about it until just after dark when we both heard the same scream coming from the backyard!

The house I lived in at the time had a huge backyard. At the very back we had a garden by a small wooded area, and it was from there that we heard the scream. Well, my ex grabbed his rifle, and the dogs and headed down to the garden finding nothing.

He came back to the house, eyes wide, and acknowledged that what I had heard was not a crane.

After that, we went about our night talking about it, with the dogs nervously prancing about and eventually went to bed.

Being summer, the bedroom windows were open, and at about 3 am, I was shocked awake when "it" was just outside the window and screamed into it. The dogs didn't even bark, they just cowered, whining.

My husband again jumped up and grabbed the rifle and went outside, without the dogs as they didn't want to have anything to do with it, to investigate...again nothing.

Well the story would end here as we didn't hear anything after that, and I was too scared to investigate the building again, but it just happened that about 3 weeks later my husband and I went away for the weekend on a camping trip and my mother, younger sister, and her two daughters spent the night at our house to watch the dogs while we were gone.

The following morning my sister was in the kitchen cooking breakfast when my niece Sandra came in. She looked at the kitchen window and noticed a long smear mark on the kitchen window.

She was about 9 at the time and looked up at my sister and said, " I know what did that." My sister looked at it and asked Sandra what she thought made it.

Sandra replied, "Ooooo, it was the Swamp Monster." My sister chuckled and asked her why she thought that.

Now, I was always teasing the girls with stories about a swamp monster that lived out by me so they just knew that there was a creature out there. This of course was before my own experience and it wasn't cute and funny anymore.

Then she said, "I saw the Swamp Monster last night."

My sister said chuckling still, "Oooooo, what did you see?"

Sandra just looked at her and said, "I saw a huge white hairy arm and it ran its claws across the bedroom screen." (my bedroom)

My sister said, "Wow, what did you do?"

Sandra said, "Aw, I just rolled over and went to sleep, I knew it was Aunt Tina trying to scare me."

Of course, we were camping.

So, what did she see? I haven't a clue to this day. But I wonder, were they keeping something out there, or was there something living in that barn unbeknownst to them at the camp and did it follow me home?

Last summer my brother, sister-in-law and I tried going back there, but we got stopped by the person living across the road before we could go across the chain that is still there.

One more thing about that camp. Before this situation, a group of us had gone to the front entrance of the camp by car to check out Dyer Lake which is at the center edge of the camp hoping to sneak in some late-night swimming. This was of course after dark and we of course were not supposed to be there.

We arrived at the trail to the lake and got out of the car with our flashlights to walk. We tried following the trail but ended up going off somewhere along the line. We went over a hillside and there, at the bottom of the hill was a beautiful raw iron gate about 6' tall. There was a hole dug into the side of the hill, and this gate was covering the opening.

We opened the gate and found ourselves in a 12'x12' cave of sorts. Inside were candles, a dead rooster, and a scythe. There was nothing else. No altar or other signs of occult practices, just the things we found haphazardly lying about the room. My sister's now ex-husband took the scythe (which I told him to leave there) and we left and never went back. That is until I went for my walk that summer day." N

SASQUATCH Shot by Young Hunter at Oregon Gravel Quarry

Two friends were camping at a local gravel quarry near The Dalles, Oregon. That night a Sasquatch enters the camp waking one of the boys. He grabs his gun and shoots.

Excerpted from KCRA news 'special' report (uploaded to Youtube) – an interview conducted with eyewitness, Brian LeBreton by reporter, Terry Richards.

"Brian LeBreton was camping with a friend, Leonard Hall, at a gravel quarry near The Dalles, Oregon one evening in June 1971 (I believe it is now called Tygh Valley Sand & Gravel). The two were going rabbit hunting the next morning. LeBreton described to Richards the events of that evening and what he saw:

“I don't know why but I just couldn't get to sleep. I felt cold. It was in the middle of June so it couldn't have been too cold out but, anyway, I finally started to doze off and, you know, well, some rocks, probably around this side here (pointing at rock wall behind them) come rolling down and that's what woke me up. So I stood straight up in my sleeping bag and I grabbed my shot shotgun, which was quite close, and my light, and I showed up there and the beam of the light hit the creature right in the face. So I grabbed the light and a hand on the gun and I shot at the creature several times. It seemed to back off and dust would fly off his chest when the shot hit him. It acted as if I would come up and shove you, just the pressure, the shot hitting, seemed to throw him back some, but it had no real effect on him.”

When asked to describe the creature, he noted that it was, “very awesome. Just huge, enormous, and very ugly..” He added, “I would say his arms were big around as my legs probably and probably about three and a half / four feet across here, very large. 7 to 8 feet. I know what I saw and I do not suffer from hallucinations.”

The Center for Sacramento History featured this 'news special' on their YouTube channel. Staff member, Christopher Smith, noted:

"Who doesn't love a Bigfoot adventure? Take a trip to 1970s Oregon with KCRA Reporter Terry Richards to investigate the possibility of the mythical figure Bigfoot! I found the whole thing delightful, especially the interviews with the regular citizens. What do you think? Could Bigfoot still be out there?"

REAL-LIFE PORTAL? Did This Experiencer Enter Into 'The Matrix?'

A woman has a 'vision' of a portal opening into a church sanctuary scene that seems so bizarre until she experiences a real-life recreation of a portal opening while on her computer.

I received the following account:

"Hello, Mr. Strickler, I really want to share this. I don’t know if anyone else has had this happen if it's some new phenomenon or what. I do have a few theories, but mainly I want to know if anyone else has had this happen. I don’t want to make this super long but I have a couple of things I need to share with you.

I’ve been debating if I was going to share this but my husband says I should. You shared my story about the experience we had where my husband and I saw the predator-like thing up in my neighbor's tree.

OK, as I mentioned in my first letter, I have seen many things, and I know for certain, that they are from other realms. I am not talking about dreams either, I’m talking about wide-awake experiences, many have been outdoors. I am a woman of faith, so I’m not afraid, and when these entities realize that I can see them, they always run away, or hide, or disappear as quickly as they can.

This experience I am about to share sounds weird, it even sounds weird to me. I can’t explain it, and I don’t know if anyone else has ever had similar experiences, or if not maybe they should be warned. I’m a bit of a nerd. I love playing with computers, as in I taught myself how to code. I love doing puzzles, so using software and stuff was like figuring out a 3D puzzle. I’m also semi-good at fixing computers, I can’t really explain it, but I’m just good at knowing what to do to fix any glitches, etc. OK, so now we have WEB3, and I’ve been playing around to learn about that.

I’m trying my best to keep this short and sweet, but that background info is pertinent. So, this is what happened. This was early last year in 2023 in spring, I believe in March or possibly earlier. Anyway, I had just woke up. I was just lounging, resting not in any hurry to get up. I was fully awake, when this round semi-globe, like a window, popped up in my wall, right above where the bed headboard is. On the other side of that wall is outside, the front of my house, it's not adjoining a room.

Now in this little round window, it was an opening. I could see crystal clear. I could even hear everything. The inside was a church. I could see a piano, hear the music, and see the pews, inside was my old Pastor, whose church I no longer attend. That’s a long story too. He had on a long cream minister robe with a burgundy wine-colored collar that went around his neck and down the length of the front of the robe. He was scowling. He had his arms crossed, and he was also saying to Lil NAS X (The rap singer. I know this sounds crazy, yet it's true and it happened) but he was saying to him, Lil NAS X, that I never listen to him and it wasn’t going to work.

There was church music playing in the background. Lil NAS X was bending down and grinning at me and had a stupid idiotic semi-evil-sounding nervous laugh, and glazed-looking eyes. He was wearing a dark-colored suit, white shirt, and dark tie. He was ready to help me if I had indicated I wanted to go with them. I never said a word, I wasn’t afraid, I was just really checking them out wondering what in the world was happening. I’m not a fan of LIL NAS X. I just happen to know who he is. All I really know is he started out singing country music and personally, I think he’s foul but anyway.

So maybe after a minute, I never said a word, and when Lil NAS X saw I wasn’t trying to hop in the whole thing just kinda “poofed” and was gone. No hole in the wall, no residue, no anything, just gone. This was totally different and I'll never forget it.

Now maybe a month or two later here is the next really 'wow' moment. I am an admitted nerd, so as I have been checking out WEB3, there is a site called Spatial. I'm not trying to advertise for them, but so anyone will better understand. THIS TRIPPED ME OUT! It is a WEB3 site, where you can make an avatar and can create spaces, VR, audio, or use avatars to interact or showcase art or NFTS.

Well, they have the option to add portals. These portals are shortcuts to other spaces, you can add them anywhere, to any other space destinations, and you can look and see into the connecting space. It is also a real-time shortcut that you can enter and be in the next space, and this is exactly like what I experienced. BUT IN REAL LIFE! Before ever knowing about Spatial. So after I explored this site, and saw that and realized that is exactly what I saw, a real-life portal happened! An Exact Real-Life Portal!

My husband laughed when I told him, but I told him what if I had gone? How would he explain my disappearance? All the cars were here, the dogs hadn’t barked, and no trace would have been left. And they would have had to question him as no one else was here. So that made him think, because he really would not have had a clue, but he would be the only suspect.

Again, I know this sounds crazy. I’ve had many strange experiences, and seen lots of paranormal/supernatural things. To me, this is the weirdest so far. I know that it was evil, they couldn’t take me against my will. I would have had to be willing to go, I could sense that, and that wasn’t happening. I’m still not afraid, just amazed, and aware. Wondering if anyone else has experienced anything like this, and if not then just be aware." RS

Phantoms & Monsters Fortean Research Investigation: 'LITTLE BEINGS' & CRYPTID SIGHTINGS in Northwestern York County, PA

Phantoms & Monsters Fortean Research Investigation - Northwest York County, Pennsylvania

Date: Saturday, January 14, 2024 - Late Afternoon

Temperature: Mid-30s F - Winds 5-20 MPH

Location: Lattimore / Clear Spring region of York County, PA

Investigators: Lon Strickler & Chad Redding

I was contacted 2 weeks before the on-site investigation by a resident concerning unexplained activity on and around his property. The location is east of the northern section of the Michaux State Forest, south-southeast of Stone Head Peak and White Rock Mountain, which is the northern spur of the South Mountains in the Blue Ridge Mountain Range. The Mason-Dixon Trail Western Terminus and the Appalachian Trail are also located in the region.

Arriving at the location, we met with the property owner who took us to a small valley and drainage run located behind the residence. According to the witness, his dog was let loose from its lead on several occasions, which would have required a collar bolt to be unscrewed. One evening in June 2023, after the dog was let loose, the witness observed 'up to a dozen' shadow-like figures with bluish-silver eyes (that projected light) manifesting along the then-dry drainage run in the small valley. The beings would vanish and then reappear at different locations along the dry run. After observing the beings for 10-15 minutes, they eventually faded away. The witness had also mentioned that the beings had gained access to his bedroom on one occasion.

The witness also described various anomalies seen and experienced in the area since moving to the property in 2021. There was at least one 'hyena-like' cryptid canine sighting by his son, as well as another incident with a possible Bigfoot 'slapping' the outside of the residence near his daughter's bedroom. Also, the witness observed 2 big cats, possibly Eastern Pumas or mountain lions, sitting atop a shed on his neighbor's property. A neighbor also reported a 75-100 foot diameter UFO hovering above a roadway north of the witness' property.

The region is historically well-known for cryptid and unexplained activity, including Bigfoot, cryptid canines, UFOs, and other paranormal phenomenon. There is also a history of witchcraft and root conjuring in the area (and for most of South-Central Pennsylvania).

The witness mentioned an incident that was told to him by a clergyman of 'an attack on 2 Boy Scouts' by a red-eyed winged humanoid approximately 5 years ago at a 'camp near York, PA.' The only possible locations of Boy Scout camps in the York, PA area are Wizard Ranch BSA Camp in Hellam, PA, Camp Tuckahoe in Dillsburg, PA, and Camp Conewago near New Oxford, PA. (Camp Conewago is where I had my encounter with a red-eyed winged humanoid in October 1988). The attack was reported as a 'bear attack' according to the clergyman. More research is needed for this account.

Chad Redding later related to me his rather interesting Class-B Bigfoot encounter in the same general area on White Rock Mountain.

We will continue to stay in contact with the witness and follow up on the area.

LARGE HAIR-COVERED BIPED Observed in Michigan's Upper Peninsula

A Michigan hunter was in the Upper Peninsula when he heard a series of wood knocks and had a large tree branch thrown at him. Later, he and his girlfriend saw a large hair-covered biped.

“Back in 2013, I was bear hunting in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. We were in Ontonagon County, northwest of Bruce's Crossing. My hunting stand was just north of FR 730 about 3 miles from US 45. The trail I was on was evenly spaced between FR 735 and FR 736. It was a small creek called Scranton Creek. It was almost dry at the time.

I took the trail north about 2 miles and found a good place to set up a ground blind. I was hunting with a handgun, a 500 Smith and Wesson with a factory Red Dot scope on it. I've hunted all my life with handguns and have bagged deer and tons of small game. I'm also an NRA-certified instructor and at the time was shooting competitively in teaching classes for concealed pistol licenses. I felt that I needed to give you some background on myself. I was totally confident in my ability to keep myself safe in the woods.

I took up my stand just before daylight on the opening day of the first bear hunt. About an hour after the first light, I heard what I can only describe as a wood knock. It was north of me towards the Victoria Dam Area. There was a series of knocks. First I heard three knocks evenly spaced and then two knocks that sounded closer to me. About 15 minutes later, again, I heard three knocks that sounded like they came from the spot that I heard the two response knocks from and, again, I heard another two knocks. They were again closer to me. I thought to myself what the hell is making those knocking sounds.

Again, about 15 minutes later, I heard three knocks from where the two responses had come from, and then right behind me was a fast four to five knocks and everything in the woods went quiet. It was so quiet I could hear the bugs flying around. I sat there wondering what the hell was going on and who or what knew that I was there. I was in a camo popup blind and I knew that whatever knew I was there had not seen me.

About 15 minutes later I heard a whirling sound approaching me and a crash next to the blind. I got up went out and found a tree branch about 3 feet long and three or 4 inches in diameter had landed about a foot away from my blind. Now when I set up the blind I was cautious to make sure there were no trees with branches that could fall on me. There was a clear path through the trees to the trail about 6 feet wide but it was a good 100 feet from my blind of the trail. No man that I know of could have thrown that piece of wood that far and with the speed it had flown.

I radioed my hunting partner and told him to come to my blind as soon as possible. When he got there I told him what had happened and we both agreed that I should let whatever wanted the area have it, so we packed everything out and I went to another stand. I had set up on FR 733 where the North Country Trail crossed it. I ended up taking a 400-plus-pound male bear the next day. It weighed 389 pounds dressed at the weigh station at Bruce's Crossing.

I always wonder what threw that tree branch and did all the wood knocking. The week I got back home, I was watching the BFRO guys on TV and found out that they were about 40 miles south of where I was hunting looking for a Bigfoot, that the natives up there had reported to them, so I contacted them and told them my story and was blown off by Cliff (Barackman). I felt that I had something to share and they just weren't interested.

The next year (2014), I took my girlfriend up there with me to show her around and as we were coming back home, we were somewhere between Watersmeet and Iron River on US 2. As we drove past a blueberry bog that was on the north side of the road, at least a good 200 acres, we both saw a hair-covered animal stand up in the middle of the bog. It was at least 4 feet taller than the brush and the brush was 4 feet tall or more itself. I looked at her and all she said was, 'Keep going!' I've hunted up there many times since and have not had any more things happen but sometimes you feel like you're being watched.”

REPTILIAN & SHADOW BEING Encounters. Reality or Illusion?

A woman describes her encounter with a Reptilian as a child while recovering in the hospital. Years later, she experiences another bizarre encounter with an unknown dark entity at home.

I received the following account:

“Hi. When I was 12, I contracted Hepatitis A. I was really ill, and for a month didn't say anything to anyone. I mean I was just a kid. Well, it progressed and by the time they caught it, I was close to death. I was all yellow, my eyes, skin, everything, and in severe pain. I was admitted to the hospital. I didn't have parents. My sister had guardianship of me. She like dropped me off and I never saw her again. I was hospitalized for a month or more. I was on pain medications. My liver was inflamed and it was impossible to eat.

One night I awoke because I felt a presence, at the foot of my hospital bed were two little Reptilian men. They were about 4 feet tall. Needless to say, I JUMPED out of my hospital bed, and tore out my IVs, making the alarms go off at the nurses' desk. I crawled under my bed the nurses had to coax me out. Think of it, a 12-year-old child awakening to see lizard men in their room. As fast as it occurred they were just gone. I've not spoken of this in years. I only told 2 other people in my life.

There was another time in about 2006 or 2007, my husband fell asleep on the couch, so I left him and went upstairs to bed. Mind you, my room was dark. Really dark. I said my prayers and went to sleep. Sometime during the night, I awoke to this thing sitting on top of me! I started to wrestle with this thing, and let me tell you it was DARKER than my room! It was NOT sleep paralysis. I WAS AWAKE! This thing was tangible. I could feel it! All of a sudden it was just gone, as the green lizard men.

I jumped up and grabbed a cross I had hanging on my wall, laid back down prayed, and fell back to sleep. I don't care if people believe these things happened, in fact, I've had lots of experiences with weird things. I’ve ONLY been SCARED two times, the time the lizard men were in my room, and another when I awoke and felt a presence in our home, was turned facing the wall. And in my heart, I knew if I turned to look there was going be something or someone there. Ignoring it, I fell back asleep.” M

Was I Visited By An ARCHANGEL?

An experiencer contacted me about an encounter at home that they believe may have been an Angel, possibly the Archangel Michael. There was also an attempt at audible communication.

I received the following account:

“Hello, Lon. I heard you talk about your belief and connection with Angels during an interview you had given. I have decided to tell you about my unexplained experience.

One night, about a year ago, I'm lying in my bed and I don't even know that I'm sleeping but I keep hearing the toilet flush. I keep hearing knocks on the door. I keep hearing voices and then all of a sudden I say, "Angels! Angels! Please help me!" Next thing I know, this 7-foot tall being comes through my ceiling and lands by the bed next to me and he's completely golden. A 7-foot tall muscular, very muscular, blond hair, and blue eyes. He had armor on and a huge sword.

Anyway, so I'm like looking at him and I'm like, "Oh my God, you're so beautiful!" Well, a second or two later, my ears started ringing and then, also, the voice came into my head. I'd never heard somebody else's voice in my head, but it was a voice that wasn't coming through my ears. You know what I mean? It wasn't a thought but it was in my head and he was speaking this language I'd never heard before. I remember I was trying to tune into it in my mind, trying to hear it better and it just got louder and louder, like deafening, and then I woke up. I just shook my head and then I woke up and it was crazy because I didn't even know that I was asleep.

I've been having a lot of dreams like that when I wake up and I'm able to leave my body and walk around my house but I can't leave my house yet. What is going on with me and what kind of language did I hear? Did the Archangel Michael appear before me?” J

NOTE: The experiencer may have heard the Enochian language that 16th-century occultists John Dee and Edward Kelley believed was a ‘celestial speech’ that allowed magicians and occultists to communicate with angelic realms. You can find more information at Enochian: The Mysterious Lost Language of Angels. I have occasionally detected different dialects during my communications with my Birth & Guardian Angels, including English, though it is rare in my experience. My communication is usually realized through my mind's eye and visualization. Lon

ABDUCTION & LOST TIME: Yes, There Really Is 'SOMETHING' Out There!

A 17-year-old is in his bedroom, lying on the floor watching TV when a blinding light fills the room through the doorway. This is the beginning of the experiencer's ordeal with the unknown.

I received the following account:

"Hello, sir. So this is how it all started for me. The date was October 21, 2001, and I was 17 years old and in my bedroom at night watching Southpark at 9 PM. I lived in Los Angeles, CA. I was sitting on my bedroom floor with my back up against my bed. Just as the intro started to play I heard this hum that got louder and louder. I noticed that a blinding white light was coming from the cracks of my door. All of a sudden the door slowly opened and the light filled my room. It was the brightest light I've ever seen. It blinded me. For some reason, I remember thinking it was my mother so I reached up to put my hand up to grab her but my arm felt like it was a million pounds and I collapsed. I never saw an entity (this time) but then I totally blacked out.

Next thing I know I'm right back where I was when I was watching TV only I remember thinking I should've been on the ground slumped over because I collapsed. But I was back in the place where I was before I saw the light. I looked up at my clock and it was 2:33 AM. I remember it didn't feel like 5 hours had passed, it felt like it had been seconds since I saw the light and heard that hum. I looked down at both arms and they were covered in bruises and scratch marks on my forearms. I felt exhausted. Like there's no way I had just been asleep. I felt like I had run a marathon.

After that night I had hundreds of experiences similar to this. Sleep paralysis as well but those experiences were vastly different from the abduction-type phenomena. It all came to an abrupt stop when turned 23 years old, in fact, on my birthday. That's a whole different story in and of itself. I've always been troubled by this. I want to know what happened that night. To all who have open minds know that there really is something out there. What it is exactly I don't know. But it's something real. Rest assured." M

SASQUATCH FAMILY Yearly Interaction & Physical Contact on West Virginia's New River

A group of boys, living near the New River in West Virginia, saw a family of Sasquatch on the river for several summers. This lasted for almost 7 years until they eventually made physical contact.

"My friend grew up on the New River in West Virginia before the dam was built. Here is his story. When my friend was a kid about 10 years old he and his friends would spend every day in the summer down in the river playing. The first year they had their interaction was when they all noticed unknown creatures in the woods across the river which was 30-40 feet wide with slow-moving water over rocks with wading pools. For about a week the kids noticed that these beings would move though the kids never really saw them. After a week they would be gone.

Then again, the next year at about the same time, they had their second interaction but this time the kids could see them. They stayed up in the woods but allowed themselves to be seen. They never came closer that year and they were gone.

The next year the interaction got closer and closer every summer till about the sixth year of this yearly interaction the boys sat on one side of the water and the family group of Sasquatch would sit on the other side of the water about 35 feet away from each other while the small ones would play in the water. This lasted about a week then they were gone for the year.

The next summer the boys made sure that they were down there early and sat down in the shallow water just a few feet from the bank. This was the year that physical contact was made. The Sasquatch little ones and the mothers would sit beside the boys in the water and the small ones splash about around the boys. This happened for about a week and then they were gone.

The boys were about 17 years old during the last year of interaction. It only lasted one day and the boys never went back afterwards. The boys did some of the same routine, but this year they actually sat on the bank of the other side and waited for them to come out of the woods. The Sasquatch did and continued to interact with the boys. The one thing I left out was the extremely large male who led this family group. As they approached the river the Sasquatch would always wait for the large male to ascend a large rock that overlooked the area, but only a few feet away at all times. It was as if he was the overwatch, the leader, who stood well over 8 feet tall. The boys were fully-grown young men by now and they only came up to its lower chest. The big male was dark brown to black but had a silver chest. The chest looked like it had an upside-down triangle of silver hair with the wider part of the triangle on the top and narrowed as it went toward the waist. He controlled everything my friend said.

The last time they had any interaction was the only day because my friend actually got on top of the rock where the silver-chested male would stand. The male got on top of his rock and was only 5 feet away from my friend and that is how he knew that it was almost 10 feet tall. My friend said he started to feel sick. That is when he was spoken to, not by voice but he could hear in his head, "I can eat you at any time and there's nothing you or your friends can do about it." It was then the pungent smell overwhelmed him, almost like he was finally allowed to smell them and understand them. My friend backed away and put his head down as he moved off the rock. The other boys all started to wade across the water and slowly moved away from the family group. My friend says that after that he and his friends never went back down there.

My friend told me this story about 8 years ago but he is still involved in the church and refuses to come forward in fear of being excommunicated from the church. I respect and trust this man beyond a shadow of a doubt."
