8-9 FOOT TALL MUSCULAR HUMANOID Seen Near Superior, Wisconsin

A Superior, Wisconsin resident and his cousin are driving home after dinner and encounter an 8-9 foot tall muscular humanoid. They were both shocked at the sight and later called the police.

I received the following account:

"My cousin and I had just finished eating dinner and playing a round of golf. It was June 21, 2012, in Superior, Wisconsin. We were driving on a two-lane road that leads back into the east side of our city.

As we turned right at a corner that led back into the main road, we drove another 100 feet until on the right side of the road I saw an 8-9 foot figure that was walking back into the edge of the forest located under a street light. I immediately hit the brakes, unsure of what I saw. My cousin who was in the passenger seat looked as shocked as I was. I yelled, “I think that was an alien!” The car came to a stop and my cousin yelled, “Go Go Go!” I sped up and my eyes were tearing up as I couldn’t believe what I had just seen. My cousin, said, “I thought I was seeing things!” I replied, “No, I saw it too!”

We drove to our apartment which was nearby still shocked and startled. I immediately called some friends. They came and picked me up and drove us back to the spot where I saw the figure. I explained what happened to them, and when we drove back to the location some brush looked to be parted where something had walked through it. I made the call to the local authorities.

The figure stood 8-9 feet tall and had a tall rounded crown crown-shaped head. The head was as big as a human abdomen. The figure was somewhat muscular looking, it had big eyes, but not stereotypical alien-like, long legs and it did not seem started whatsoever." M

Truck Driver Recalls His ALIEN ABDUCTION While Stopped at Ohio Rest Area

A long-haul truck driver reports his abduction while stopped for the night at an Ashtabula, Ohio truck stop. He then recalls his encounters with the same beings when he was a child.

I received the following account:

"I was laying down in the truck at a Pilot truck stop about 9 miles south of Ashtabula, Ohio on 3/10/2018 at 1 p.m. I always cover my windows to keep all lights out and lock all the doors. I had backed in, so the front of my truck was facing the storefront.

Typically, I'm out by 11:30 p.m., but I kept getting a ringing sound in my right ear and was having trouble with my knee (previous injury, unrelated). The last thing I remember is starting the truck around 12:30 a.m. to let the heat run. Then, it seemed almost instantly I was floating onto a table. The table felt high up, maybe 5-6 feet. I couldn't move anything. My head was turned to my right shoulder. It felt locked there. I was overwhelmed with fear and could feel myself attempting to cry out for help. Two very small 3.5-4' grey-skinned creatures were to my right that I could see. Everyone describes gray aliens differently than these guys looked. Their entire body was stubby, and their heads were almost too short for their eyes, which were very large like other people described. It was more over the shape of their face that look different than typical photos you see. The photos you typically see show them elongated in the face. These two looked like it was almost smushed down and like they were squinting with wrinkles between the eyes.
I couldn't speak or cry out, but I started to realize what was going on, so I thought in my head (best way to describe it) for them to please help me relax. I understood what was going on but I could not calm down. Once I thought that, I could move my arms. So I reached out towards one with my right arm and it held my hand. I did the same with my left arm and although I couldn't see it something grabbed my left hand. Their hands were very soft but cold and felt kind of like a toddler's hand. Once I was holding with both my hands I could not stop smiling. I was completely relaxed and all I could feel was happiness. The one holding my hand on the right I believe is the one who was talking to me. It asked if I was sure that I wanted to remember this time, and I told it I was not sure.
It was then that I realized that I'd been visited several times before. I believe the first time was when I was five. I recalled a small devil-like creature coming through the wall of my room. I had a bunk bed with no bottom bed, and it just floated straight up to my face. I immediately screamed. My dad came running in and found me in the far corner by my closet door. Being a kid, I told him the devil came for me. Now that I'm older I realize it wasn't a devil. It was one of those creatures.
The next incident wasn't until I was 9 to 10 years old. As I was going upstairs to bed I stopped at the landing. Outside of the window, there was a saucer-shaped disc silver in color with a large orange dome on top of it. I thought that I had immediately gone downstairs to get my dad. But when I went to go get him to tell him what happened he asked what I was doing still up. Apparently, I had been upstairs for almost an hour, I thought it was only a matter of seconds. After telling my dad what had happened, he grabbed our old VCR camcorder went upstairs with me, and videotaped this craft which was still hovering outside the window! After about 10 to 15 seconds, it shot off and was gone.
My dad went downstairs and called Airborne Express, which is the local DHL-type company that was in business at the time. He reported the incident to them as well as Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. No one reported seeing it they said that nothing was showing up on radars around that time and that it was probably a coincidence. However, the next morning when we woke up nothing was on the tape whatsoever. On top of that, we had a large pine tree outside of that window. It was lying on the ground and completely black on one side like it immediately burnt partially and then died. There was no other scaring to the ground.

Back to the present. So I'm laying on the table and I can feel other hands around me on my legs, arms, ears, and then I feel a hard pressure around my genitals. Like a pump, but with pain like heat/pain. I'm completely distracted while all this is going on though because the creature to my left is now alone it's just me and him in my view. He's telling me all kinds of things about meeting me in the past, but I can't recall what he was saying. I do recall him saying that I would forget things if I wasn't ready, and unfortunately, he had no control over whether or not I would remember. He could only allow me to remember what I wanted to remember. About the time that I really calmed down and stopped feeling like I was going to have a heart attack, everyone was gone.
I woke up in the truck laying on my back on top of my blankets. The truck was still running, but every light on the dash was lit up and alarms were going off on it, so I shut it off thinking it was overheating. I turned it back on a couple seconds later and everything was fine. The whole ordeal did not come to me until after I realized the truck was okay. I immediately started freaking out, and then I heard the same voice again telling me everything was okay and he would see me soon.

I feel like over the years I have developed a friendship possibly with this creature, but I'm not sure of that. Honestly, I'm not really sure I even believe myself, however, I can tell you that those other two instances definitely did occur when I was younger and I always wanted to know why they happened. I've always had an interest in aliens, but nothing more than any other young boy does. I've never fantasized about being abducted. I've honestly been freaked out about the thought of it, so I don't think that my mind is playing tricks on me or that I had a dream.
Another note to add is I do not think that these creatures had a gender. The only reason why I say that is the voice in my head that was talking to me did not appear to be male or female. I did wake up with a slight nosebleed in my right nostril, I had a headache and continued to have a headache all day. I had very uncomfortable pressure internally. I do not drink alcohol. I do not do drugs. And to the best of my knowledge, I have no mental illness from either side of my family that is known. I have never been a sleepwalker, and I don't tend to have very many nightmares. I wish I could remember more of what happened. Although I would definitely be terrified if this occurs again, I hope that I can be more open to it when it does though. I know they will be back because I recall the creature saying it would see me again. The beginning of the encounter was very intrusive and it felt embarrassing. They seemed to just do what they needed to do, and then they comforted me. I will say that I agree with others about the whole pure love feeling. I definitely felt as though it possibly genuinely cared about me. I'm not entirely sure that it did, but it was a very comforting feeling.

One other thing I do recall it asking me was if I remembered them fixing me when I ruined my ability to reproduce. I didn't answer that I'm aware of but I think I know what they were talking about. When I was on a deployment to Iraq, we would restart the radars standing in range of them. We were warned if we did that we could become sterile. So I used to do it every day joking that I did not need to have any more kids, as I had already had 3 at the time. I did wake up several nights with nosebleeds in Iraq, but in my opinion, I believe at least most of those were due to the desert air.
I hope my story will help in some way, shape, or form. These are not all of the details of this event. I'm not very good at writing out things, and I only wanted to write out what I was sure of." R

TEXAS BIGFOOT Has Remarkable Interaction With Bowhunter

A retired Texas law enforcement officer recounts his two encounters with Bigfoot while bowhunting on his tree stands. His observations are quite detailed and remarkable.

"I'm a 71-year-old retired police officer. I've been trained to observe people and their surroundings and to relay them accurately.

My first encounter was in October of 1991. I and a group of friends leased a 4800-acre ranch in Young County, Texas. I was the only bowhunter in our group. That allowed me to add a month to my deer hunting season.

The night before the October 1st bow season opener I was in my tent when I was awakened around midnight by a loud screaming noise. I heard a series of three or four evenly-spaced screams. It sounded like a woman in distress. At the time it was more than 10 miles to the nearest house. After settling down I wrote the screams off to a mountain lion. I got up at 0300 hours and was in my stand well before daylight. I climbed up into my ladder stand and found three rocks stacked where my butt sits. After my morning hunt, I left an apple beside the stacked rocks. I had five bow stands for different wind directions and found three stacked stones in all of them. I never heard the screams or had any problems for the next 20 years hunting that place.

Fast forward to 2003. Then I was hunting a ranch 13 miles south of Seymour, Texas in late October. I was in my ladder stand well before daylight. I had a ladder stand and some timber that ran along a fence line that bordered a huge Mesquite tree flat. The cold front that I've been waiting for arrived half an hour or so before daylight. An intense thunderstorm broke out, so I decided to stay put as any shelter was three miles away. I had my rain gear on, and it was so comfortable I fell asleep. I was sitting 15 feet above the ground and was awakened by a loud crash of thunder following a series of lightning bolts that lit up the sky bright as day.

I glanced over to the right and standing not five feet from me and down five or so feet stood the most amazing thing I have ever seen. It was a very hairy, very tall and muscular human-like creature. This creature stood at least 10 feet tall and was covered in light brown-silver hair. It had a huge head sitting on vast and muscular shoulders. It had no neck, a heavy brow ridge, and a defined human-like nose. The eyes were deep set with dark rings below the eyes. It had heavy dark eyebrows and the whites of its eyes were coffee-colored or bloodshot. The iris of both eyes were a yellowish-green color and the pupils were very dilated. Its face was human-like with a full beard and little or no mustache. The lips were darker than the facial skin and were normal-sized in relation to his face. The color of the skin on its face was a medium brown and the arms were longer than a human arm. It must have weighed at least 700 pounds. Its legs were thick and muscular. When it exhaled I could see his breath as the temperature had just dropped to mid-30s Fahrenheit. The hair covering his body was dripping water from the longer hairs. I have no idea if it was male or female.

I do not know how long it had been there watching me. the odd thing is that I felt no fear, just a sense of wonderment of being in the presence of this amazing creature. If this being had wanted me it could have snatched the life right out of me with no trouble. After the next lightning flash, I looked back in its direction and it was gone. I never saw it again. I did leave another apple on the seat in my ladder stand and it was gone the next time I sat at that stand. I forgot to mention that as the sun rose I could see that the tree I was in was covered in monarch butterflies. As the sun rose every tree I could see for at least half a mile down the fence line was covered in them. They left in waves of tens of thousands until the last ones left at 0930 hours or so. It was a wonderful experience."

Idaho Hunter Describes His Fear & Anxiety During BIGFOOT Encounter

An Idaho hunter talks about encountering a Bigfoot that he observed carrying a deer swiftly up a ridge. He detailed the feeling of fear and anxiety that swept over him as a result.

"As a city kid, I was lucky enough to have my parents relocate to northern Idaho when I was about 14. My parents separated shortly afterward. They didn't have anyone to teach me anything about the woods but I fell in love with the mountains. I started to hunt when I was about 16. After I would go home after a 26-mile bus ride from school I had about three and a half hours to hunt. I had a favorite spot along the lower North Fork River on the Tamarack Ridge. At that time there were small farms here.

One evening while on one of my short hunts for whitetail deer, I saw a group of three along a ridge. I could hear the deer moving through the brush ahead of me. I got down on my knees. They were ahead looking under the brush halfway up the ridge. Then I started feeling fear welling up in me. As I stood up and looked across the valley to the next ridge, about 150 yards away, I saw what looked like a 'large man' carrying a whole deer up the ridge at a very quick pace. I was amazed at how thick the body, arms, and legs were. The Bigfoot covered the distance to the top in just a few minutes. As it crested the top I then was very acutely aware of the fear that was in me. I had trouble controlling it. I checked my rifle to make sure it was loaded. I also carried a .357 Mag revolver with me. I checked to see if it was loaded. I was feeling very inadequate for the situation I was in. I was suddenly aware that it was almost dark, so I started moving in the direction of my pickup. I almost started to run but when I would quicken my pace the fear was almost uncontrollable. I felt like something was watching me and I could swear I knew from what direction I could hear the brush crack around me, but I don't know if it was related.

When I reached the pickup I was afraid to put my gun down to unlock the truck. I thought if I could just get in the truck I could settle down and get a hold of my emotions. I was sitting in the truck and still was not settling down. I got the truck started and I pulled down on the old dirt road along the river. The tightness in my chest started to ease as I drove down the road. I passed the bottom of the ridge where I had the encounter. I stopped and looked up the little trail that led to the ridge trail/. Immediately the tightness returned and I felt very vulnerable sitting in the pickup. So I took off faster than I should have been driving on the old road.

When I got home my mom asked what was wrong and I just let her think I was frustrated because I didn't get anything. I never told anyone about it until my sons were 14 and 16. The young one believed me and had a hard time hunting by himself. When he first started getting into the woods the older son wasn't didn't say much about it. But the topic comes after every hunting season in camp.

I've never felt fear like that in my life whether staring down the barrel of a gun as a police officer or trekking in a cave and underground."

'NOT DEER' - NATURE'S FREAKS or REAL MONSTERS? LIVE Chat - Q & A - Join Us! Lon Strickler (Host)

Welcome to Phantoms & Monsters 'Personal Reports' - cryptid & unexplained accounts directly from the archives of Phantoms & Monsters, and the Phantoms & Monster Fortean Research team. Narrated by Lon Strickler. Join us in the chat, discuss, and ask me questions about the accounts.
Featured in this edition:
The 'Not Deer' was first described as a phenomenon from Appalachia. But there have been similar sightings reported in other areas over recent years. So what is the 'Not Deer?' Is it just a freak of nature or is it a legitimate cryptid? Some say that it is a manifestation of Zombie Deer Syndrome or a wasting disease. That may be true in some instances. But generally, witnesses report an animal that has the body of a deer, but characteristics that parallel either human behavior & physical attributes. There are also a few instances where these creatures are said to shapeshift into other animals. So, sit back & listen to the presentation, & decide for yourself.
In this episode, I will describe the reports and incidents in detail and answer all questions from the chat room.

Reader Follow-Up - 'THOSE GLARING RED EYES!' Was it the GREEN MAN?

I received this follow-up to a recent post:

"Hi there Lon. I just read your article regarding the brothers in Northern England and the green entity with glowing eyes. As an archaeologist, I happen to have a background in European, culture specifically English/Briton, and thought I would try to help you shed some light on what happened in 1997.

The photo you included with the article reminded me of the Green Man, which is an ancient Celtic spirit the Druids believe to inhabit nature. You can usually see him in the leaves of trees. I admit, my mom knows more about the Green Man than I do. It's not a malevolent entity though, so it may be a different Fae altogether such as perhaps a hobgoblin which, if I'm not mistaken, is particularly hostile. I believe children are among their preferred targets as well. I'm unsure how tall they usually appear, though to an 8-year-old little boy, someone who stands 5 feet tall can appear huge. The creature also sounds to me like an elemental, at any rate, not unlike the creature that haunts Leap Castle.

I've enclosed a photo of the Green Man and hope it provides at least some closure to that family." PB

Possible Feral 'WOLF MAN' Photographed in Harz National Park, Germany

Various media sources are reporting strange photos of a mysterious 'wolf man' that has been seen stalking the woods in Harz National Park, Germany. Is it a feral human, or a view of the past?

Blurry photos of an unkempt man carrying a “spear” in a German forest have stoked speculation that legends of a “wolf man” stalking the woods of the Harz region are true.

Two photos captured by hikers show a naked and shaggy man sitting on a rock holding a long stick in his left hand and scratching the rock with another instrument in his right hand. Gina Weiss and her friend Tobi claim to have taken the pictures on their mobile phones while walking beneath a set of sandstone caves in Harz National Park on Tuesday.

“We saw the ‘wolf man’ when we reached the sandstone caves,” Ms Weiss told the German tabloid Bild. “He was standing on top of one of the caves, holding a long wooden stick like a spear in his arm.”

“He didn’t take his eyes off us and didn’t say a word,” she recounted, adding that the encounter lasted for nearly 10 minutes.

“He looked dirty and behaved like a Stone Age man from a history book,” she added.

According to Bild, there have been intermittent sightings of the man since 2015, with local authorities claiming to have found evidence that someone was starting fires and building rudimentary dwellings in the forest.

However, one volunteer with the local fire service told The Telegraph that they had not noticed anything unusual in the forest, describing the story as “nonsense” and speculating that the photos were “a prank”.

With a third of Germany’s landmass covered by dense forest, stories of hermits living off the land occasionally crop up in the local media. In 2007 a US citizen was found living in a hut in the depths of the Eifel, a low mountain range in western Germany, where he had cultivated a small marijuana plantation.

Modern legends attached to the woods, which inspired many popular fairy tales by the German Brothers Grimm, loom large in the public imagination.

Reports this summer of a lion prowling the forests outside Berlin gained significant attention for days only for the beast to be revealed as a wild boar. Authorities in the wealthy suburb of Kleinmachnow told people to stay at home after they claimed to have video evidence that showed the rear end of a lioness. After helicopters and drones scoured the scene without success, local authorities were forced to concede that this was a case of mistaken identity."

'DID I EXPERIENCE A DEMON?' People Describe Their Intense Paranormal Events

The original post, followed by other comments, discusses intense paranormal activity. Some involve possible intuitive & psychic gifts. They ask, 'Did I experience a demon?'

"The story takes place in Western Massachusetts. Five years ago, I was driving to work bright and early in the morning and the SUV next to me was in a right-turn-only lane, I was in the straight lane while we were waiting for the light to change. I didn’t think much of it or look at the SUV or driver until the light changed and they also tried going straight. At that point, I looked over as they were basically trying to run me off the road to go straight and veering into me. I was going to honk but then the middle-aged lady who was driving, jerked head to the side, looked right at me and her whole face morphed into a terrifying face.

I don’t even know how to describe it. It elongated and looked awful and terrifying. Like that scream painting by Edward Munch. But way more terrifying. It’s like she decided to show me what she really is and it changed in a flash. I slammed on my brakes, she, or it, cut in front of me and I ended up taking the very next right turn just to get away from her, and parked on the side of the road to catch my breath. I don’t do drugs, I sometimes have a couple of beers after work, but nothing crazy. I’ve never seen anything like this before or after and I’ve been too scared to mention it to anyone but my husband for the fear of being called a crazy person. I saw her face change right before my eyes and to this day absolutely certain of what I saw.

The feeling that came over me was just absolute terror and the look she gave me was certainly menacing. Has anyone else ever experienced anything like that? Instead of a grin, it was an open mouth expression with a threatening, pissed-off look. But the mouth and entire eye area were black. And the same, an elongated pointy face that no human could just naturally morph their face to make. Really, really freaky. The color of the face changed...more like a loss of color. Everything around the eyes got really dark and had a big open dark scary mouth. I shake just thinking about that day! I’ve had way too many experiences that were odd. I just didn’t want to include them with the story and sound like a total loon.

I had a very, very traumatic childhood. I survived a war, had really terrible things happen to me, and saw horrible things happen to others including seeing children get killed. I was 10 when I came to the US as a refugee and spoke no English. I think that trauma made me more sensitive to the spirit world. I get “feelings” good and bad that something is going to happen, and it does. My husband and my boss call me psychic. People are also always shocked by how well I can just “read their minds.” I don’t try to, I just know what they’re trying to say before they even finish saying it. I’ve also experienced ghosts many times, including one in our last house that my kids and husband are 100% sure of too. He didn’t give menacing feelings though and never physically manifested himself. We and even our friends experienced watching the door knob turn on the front and back door and the doors swing open. He also has a weird thing for oil. Twice, a bottle of oil slowly moved from the back of the counter, towards the front, until it fell over onto the ground. Both times I had a witness with me who also saw it.

I call it 'him' because I work as a real estate paralegal and reviewed the history of the house and found a man named Dana died there young of lung cancer. However, my son when he was young, swears that a little girl said hello to him in the bathroom there. Things slowed down there and in my new house, there is no activity at all now. When I went to visit my home country, I also went to Turkey and bought these amulets called Nazar. Once I put them in the house, the ghost activity became pretty much nonexistent. I’m afraid to experiment with this spiritual sensitivity. I don’t want to be bothered by spirits all the time. I went to Salem and refused to do any seances or anything that could attach a spirit to me."

Other people chimed in with their own experience. Sadly, they did not include dates or locations. u/fossacecak wrote:

"Years ago I dated a guy who had a heavy drug and alcohol addiction. It was really sad. He would be the sweetest person ever during the day and then get absolutely hammered and turn into a totally different person; mean, angry, verbally abusive. The next day he didn’t remember any of it. One night I was drunk with him and we were having a great time. We went to bed and it was like a switch was flipped and he was angry and upset and calling me names. He started saying really weird crap like that the Chinese mafia was after him (he was terrified and deadly serious). I’ll never forget how at one point I looked at him and he didn’t look like him anymore, it was like his face changed to this creepy jester-looking face but not human. I was like WTF? Why is your face different. He responded, “Eric isn’t here right now.” This reminds me of a line you would hear in an exorcist movie.

We went to bed and of course the next day he was back to normal and had no idea what he did and said all night because he was blacked out. To this day I think he was possessed and it took over when he was drinking. He also said that one time he was a kid and he went into the woods and tried inviting a demon to possess him and nothing happened. Makes me wonder."

"I had an experience in an old house I was renting. I basically got a good deal. If I rented it I would promise to work on it and fix some of the problems. This was a city-auctioned hole that had been abandoned for several years and become a local dope house for the homeless. When I looked at it originally it was infested with fleas. I was wearing a pair of shorts, upon entering the back yard a city public works letter of condemning notice for flea infestation. The landlord was caught off guard as he bought it sight unseen. The city came and fumigated the yard 4 times wearing suits with oxygen to get rid of the issue.

Back to the real story of too many out of that house in just one year. Now a bit on me beforehand, I've been told by a few friends of the secondary nature that I hold a certain light or direction for the spiritual realm... sort of a beacon either for drawing them near or to warm them. I had to come to grips with that idea in this house, as I write my entire body tingling as every hair on me is standing straight up.

Anyway back to the story. I had a couple of friends and roommates over. It was a late night for the fun the night before, mind you I had just months prior to this particular incident lost my wife of 7 years to Lupus. Her pain was real. That is a whole different story for another day.

I had been lounging all day, in and out of the kitchen. It was now about 6 pm in the evening late summer I'd say August I believe l. I was lying on the floor watching TV and suddenly I felt a weight in chest and my arms which were already on my chest not really crossed but close. The weight pressed on harder for what felt like an eternity.. some say it was anxiety, but mine is different I feel like I swallowed a softball and it is stuck.. this was hard dead weight, literally sucking the air right out of me then suddenly I sit straight (something yanked me up) Im trying to call to my roommate like a night terror she finally sees me immediately comes to me and my arms won't release she even tries to slap me, to no avail. Then I'm flip-flopped over in the prone position, and like you said in the movie 'The Ring,' this dark hair, extremely wire thin and mangled face, ripping apart at every fold crawling under me pulling itself straight to my face and leans in so fiercely. She lets out this terrifying blood-boiling scream and odor like a sewer coming from all over her. Finally, another roommate just getting home heard the scream from outside while getting out of her boyfriend's truck and came running in to help.

I hadn't spoken this story to anyone for fear of it returning. To this day will never forget that face. Afterward, I immediately called my friend who is gifted, who is one of the people who told me of my gift. I went to explain it as she already knew and let me know that someone at some time or another had ritualistic (Ouija) behavior or celebrations. Those so-called toys are not to be used by anyone who isn't experienced. They can bring things unwanted."

LITTLE PEOPLE UNDER MY BED! - Was There A Portal to Another Dimension?

I received a response to a post that I made in 2018 that was titled 'The Rancher': Bizarre Encounter. Click the link and read the account, then tell me your thoughts.

Hi, Lon. You asked for speculations on the bizarre story of 'The Rancher.' This resonated with me for two reasons. The first one is that as a little girl, I used to have "dreams" about little people under my bed at night who would only come out after my parents went to sleep, obviously well after me. Of course, my parents didn't believe me, but I did overhear my mother saying, "How does she always get out of bed and end up on the floor?"

I am now 73 years of age, remember that it was a double bed and that my mother would even put pillows on the side of my bed (The other side was up against the outside wall of the house, which was on the second floor overlooking an alleyway that ran between our house and the house next door.) so I couldn't get out. I always managed to do so. I woke up one night rocking violently from side to side, and the next thing I knew I was flying over the pillow and fell right down onto the floor with a thump. Most of the time my parents didn't hear me fall out of bed (Their bedroom wall was at the head of my bed.). They would find me on the floor in the morning. After I hit the floor I would be terrified, but then I would fall asleep and not wake up until the morning. The pillows would always still be on the bed and not disturbed.

From what I can remember the incidences spanned for years, before I entered the first grade up until the age of 9-10.

The whole bizarre incident obviously affected them so much that they put a nightlight in my room which shone brightly onto my bed, not out into the hallway. They were highlighting my bed area, certainly not someone walking in the hallway to the bathroom, which was adjacent to my bedroom. There wasn't any door to my bedroom and no nightlights of any kind, up to this point.

The even stranger part of this story is that after installing the nightlight and then moving my bed to the opposite side of the room, (very small bedroom, however), my bed now shoved up against a wall being adjacent to the hallway leading to their bedroom, the "little people" stopped visiting me. My Dad would even look under my bed with me and would say, "See there is nothing there and there couldn't possibly be anyone that small who could get under the bed." It has only been in the latter, most recent years of my life that I have found out that there are people who have had stories of little people under their beds.

The standard height from the floor to the bottom of a box spring mattress is 7 1/2 inches. The person who was recounting their story said that they believed the entities to be 8-9 inches tall. This is certainly close enough for the 7 1/2-inch space underneath most beds.

I can't help but think there is a portal that connects them to the "people on their list for watching" as the entity said so eloquently. You may recall that I emailed you about the Mothman in Chicago and how I think they are interdimensional beings who come through portals. I think this may account for a lot of the bizarre experiences that people have and are having.

The second reason that resonated with me is that the entity said he was a liaison between us and them. 'Us' must mean some sector of our society, i.e. military, private research companies/ies, the private sector of our society who are connected to the elected elite or rulers of this planet. This, of course, would mean that this segment of our society has ongoing contact with others and has given them permission to conduct these "visits", without our knowledge/permission. Maybe I have been watching too many of the X-Files episodes." M

'You're Going To Be Arrested.' Warning From His GUARDIAN ANGEL?

A Florida man suddenly hears a voice in his ear that states that he is going to be arrested. Two days later, without warning, he is arrested. Later it was proved to be a false claim.

I received the following account:

"Hi, Lon. This story dates back to 2009 when I was 45 years old and living in a home I owned in Boca Raton, Florida. I am an educated business professional who enjoys reading about paranormal things, but never really had any encounter to speak of. It was early in the afternoon, and I had a friend over who was helping out with some electrical work on the second floor. I walked away for a moment down the hall when all of a sudden I heard a voice whisper directly in my ear "You're going to be arrested." I immediately felt weak to my knees and nauseous and got slightly dizzy. It felt as if something or some energy field had traversed right through me. I swear it sounded as if a person had leaned over and spoken right into my ear, but of course, no one was there. I had no idea what to make of the message or the experience.

I sat in my downstairs office, bewildered by what just occurred. I started to nervously fidget with things and picked up an old ski mask I had lying there. I don't know why, but I shoved a white paper plate into it, drew rather angry eyes in its sockets, and leaned it upright against the wall on my desk, staring at it but not aware of a reason why I did that. My friend came downstairs, but I didn't mention anything about what had just happened. Frankly, I wouldn't have known how to relate it.

Two days later, at about 6 a.m., my doorbell rang. A short young man stood there and said he crashed into my garbage cans, and if I got a Hefty bag, he'd clean it up. I was half asleep, not cognizant of how weird this was, and made my way to the garage. I hit the door-opener button, the door started to rise, and then I was bum-rushed by a dozen camouflaged men pointing M16 machine guns at me. I was tackled to the ground, handcuffed, and dragged out front. Now wouldn't you know it, all of these guys had on ski masks! In fact, there were about 50 officers from the DEA, FBI, and Palm Beach County sheriff's office, all of them masked.

It turned out that a particular individual whom I rented a house in another town had been caught making drugs there, and that low-life told the cops it was my operation, just to save his own skin. They came to my house thinking they were going to find Pablo Escobar or a Walter White type. I wound up spending a night in jail before anyone could get me out and sort out the mess.

All charges were dropped, of course, but I think some angel or otherworldly being saw this coming and tried to warn me. Because I didn't have any clue as to what was going on at my rental property and there certainly was nothing going on in my own life to validate a fear of arrest, some entity knew it was coming and more or less just told me so. It didn't really help in any way.

I will never forget that voice, although it was no one I could recognize. What do you make of this? I've never told anyone of this occurrence." Robert

NOTE: I told Robert that this may have been a warning from his Guardian Angel. I have heard of similar incidents. Lon
