British Woman Describes Her 'WEREWOLF' Sighting & Continued Fear

A Greater Manchester, UK resident describes her fear of a werewolf-like creature that she witnesses standing outside of her house almost 2 years ago. She still fears that it watches her.

I received the following account:

"Hello. This incident took place in October 2021 in Rochdale in Greater Manchester, UK. I lived alone after breaking up with my ex. I spent most of my time in the evenings upstairs playing video games and watching YouTube videos. I didn't really have much of a social life but that was okay with me. I'd never felt uneasy in my own house until the time when this incident took place.

I would walk into the kitchen at night to make a drink. My kitchen window looks out at my overgrown garden which in turn overlooked the woods. It's a rural neighborhood and it is very quiet at night which makes it a friendly environment for some wildlife to come out. I would often see foxes and deer. At night, when the lights are on I can barely see more than a few feet ahead of the window as it acts sort of like a mirror.

On this particular night the few feet ahead of me that I could see was all this thing needed to make itself visible to me. I hadn't noticed it until I looked up and out of the window after making my drink. It was a bipedal creature, skinny but quite tall with hind legs and no hair. It sounds ridiculous to mention this but it looked similar to the werewolf Lupine transformed into the Prisoner of Azkaban movie, only taller and more humanoid. Its mouth was tiny but protruded, similar to a canine's. It had no ears from what I could see. It just stood there looking at me with these completely white tiny eyes. Its head was tilted to the side and its bottom jaw was slightly gaped.

I didn't know how long it had been there. I was in the kitchen for about a minute before I even bothered to look out the window. I just froze. You'd think you can rationalize what you do in a situation like this but I was frozen in terror. I was thinking myself to move but my body felt icy cold. After like 15 seconds, even though it felt much longer, I managed to move and ran out of the room not daring to take my eyes off the creature. As I did so its head rotated to follow me as I ran to the comforts of the upstairs.

After all this time, I still have not gone into my kitchen at night, except for a few necessary occasions. I prepare everything I need before it gets dark and then stay upstairs for the rest of the night. If I absolutely need to go into the kitchen I'll rush in so that I can get out ASAP. You know that feeling you get when you turn all the lights off before you have to go back upstairs and feel like you're going to be chased by some unknown entity? That's the feeling I get when I need to go into my kitchen at night.

To this day, I know instinctively that the werewolf creature is still watching me. My current boyfriend believes I'm imagining the beast, but he won't go out at night when he visits. I have asked people who I trust to offer their opinions about this creature, but I know that none of them really believe me. I have considered moving, but I love this house." K

Northern New Jersey Outdoorsman Recalls His Interesting SASQUATCH ENCOUNTERS

A northern New Jersey hunter & fisherman recalls his encounters with Sasquatch on and near his property. Very interesting details. Have you had an encounter? Feel free to contact me.

"I'm 53 years old and an avid hunter, trapper, and fisherman. When I was 12 we had a family visit to Muir Woods National Monument in California. I was obsessed with Steelhead. There was a stream full of them right next to the walking path. I left my family to get closer to the fish. I guess I was about 100 yards from my family when I rounded a bend in the stream. I climbed over a rock and at about 30 yards a 'guy' (Sasquatch) was squatted on the edge of the river. We locked eyes and it seemed like he was trying to kill me with a stare.

As he stood up I could not believe how fast he moved. His hair was dark brown and his face only had hair around the edges. He kept his eyes on me as he literally stepped across the creek. I saw grayish hair on his back and muscles like a bodybuilder. The creek was like 20 feet across and he cleared it one hop. I could not get out of there fast enough. No one believed my story, not my parents, my brother, or anyone for that matter.

Jump forward to the year 2000. I was married and living in northern New Jersey. I shot a huge buck one morning early and the arrow seemed a bit far back. I decided to give him some time. This was November and I was coaching football at the high school nearby. I went to the game with the intention of tracking the deer after the game.

We followed the blood trail about 150 yards to where the deer died. You know what the ground looks like when a full-kill deer expires. There was a 10-foot circle covered with blood and hair. The blood was like someone spilled a five-gallon pail, but no deer. The bears are huge here, but a bear would have chowed on that deer first then dragged it a distance and either hid it or left to come back. There were no drag marks, no blood trail, nothing. But my carbon arrow was broken into little four or five-inch pieces.

During turkey season the following year, I was hunting behind my house every morning. There's about a square mile of private land. I kept jumping what I thought was a bear on the edge of a swamp at the base of a steep bridge. It happened several times in the dark. The bear would move up about 50 yards. It was always at first light and I was hoping to hear the turkeys gobble on the roost.

One morning I was late getting out. So I was creeping slower than usual. An owl was hooting as I walked. When I got near the area where I was jumping the bear I steeped in owl feces. As I did I heard someone running toward the ridge. It was the 'thump, thump' of a two-legged being. Their feet hit the ground, not the leaf shuffling a bear makes on the run. Then I saw it! It neared the top of the ridge taking huge strides. As it topped the ridge all I could see was the same face staring at me from when I was 12. I knew what it was. I haven't slept right since!

At our camp, about 20 miles from my home, we had a deer taken from inside of a pickup truck with a cap on it. The tea handles of the cap were closed but not locked. Whatever took the deer put its hands on the top of the cap and left marks. Where the hair on its arms had disturbed the dust and the dirt. The guys I was hunting said a bear took it. How many bears can open the cap, walk away with the 100-pound doe, and leave no drag marks or evidence?

One Saturday after deer season ended I was driving at night at about 10 PM. I came across a six-inch tree across the road that was just wide enough for one truck. I had just been there a few hours before in the daylight. I got out to move but the tree had been twisted around five feet off the ground and bent over the road. As I looked at it I felt like I was being watched. I had that feeling of impending doom swept over me. They did not want me there. So I jumped in my truck and got the hell out of there.

I'm never going to stop what I love to do most, which is hunting and fishing. But it's not the same as it once was. You know you're not alone out there there. There's something about knowing that you're not the top dog in the woods. They walk around my house at night in the summer. When I'm out hunting they're here and no one wants to admit it. The BFRO idiots were more concerned with having me pay $400 to get in on their freaking 'expedition' than coming up to see the area where I live. As soon as I said they were human-like and not ape they dismissed me like I never existed." J

'I Was Chased By A HAIRY BIPEDAL CREATURE!'

A Wisconsin teen, who spent a lot of his time in the woods, encounters an unknown hairy biped while retrieving the mail. He saw the legs move and realized it was chasing him.

I received the following account:

"I was chased by an unknown hairy bipedal creature outside my childhood home. This was rural northern Wisconsin and I was 16. Up until that day I had zero fear of the woods. I spent most of my time out there exploring and feared nothing.

My parents had a lousy marriage and fought a lot and I felt more at home outside than in the house. On hot nights, I'd take a sleeping bag and sleep on the roof of an old shack on our property.

I saw bears, I saw wolves. They were always more afraid of me than me. I didn't believe in ghosts, Bigfoot, demons, or even God. I only got lost out there once when dark fell sooner than I expected. I stayed calm, found the north star, and knew that if I continued south I'd eventually come across the old railroad tracks near my house. Even the thought of spending the night out there didn't bother me, the thought of my mom's rage when I didn't come home did.

So it was summer, and I had just turned 16. My mom had left my father, father worked all the time, sister was living on her own. Once school was out it was me and my cat and this is before the Internet or smartphones.

We lived on a dead-end dirt road and around noon I took my usual stroll down the long driveway to check the mail. My cat followed me everywhere and I actually kind of relied on him to give me a heads-up if there was a bear or something close by.

A bit of movement behind me as I stood at the mailbox made me aware there was something across the road in the trees but there were pesky deer everywhere. I heard a loud crash like something very loudly making its way through the brush.

It's like every classic horror story. My brain had no capability for the thought of anything paranormal or spooky. I simply tucked the mail under my arm and headed into the woods to investigate. My cat followed close behind. I got about 10 yards in when I noticed what I hadn't noticed before. There was no noise. Nothing. It was a beautiful June day and there wasn't a single bird singing, no insects, no leaves rustling. It was absolutely silent.

At the same time, I registered the silence, I got that eerie feeling that something was watching me. I stopped immediately and started scanning the woods for deer. Hunters know what I'm talking about when I say you look for the shape of a deer instead of trying to pinpoint them by color.

That's when I spotted it. Two brown furry legs, the top of it concealed by tree branches. My cat hissed. I looked down and he was completely poofed out with his back arched. Looking at the same thing I was.

I looked back up and the legs moved. Not like a deer. Like a human. Everything happened at once after that. I dropped the mail, picked up my cat by the scruff, and ran for it. Whatever was out there with me was running after me. I have never run so fast in my life. I tore up the driveway, into the house, locked the door, and grabbed the phone.

I called my next-door neighbor who was the ex-chief of police and he came over immediately with his pistol. He checked out the spot I was in and found nothing. I was so hysterical I was in tears. He stayed with me until I was able to reach my mom and have her come get me.

Of course, they thought I was completely high or delusional. I know exactly what I saw and felt. It was broad daylight. I never felt safe in those woods again and stopped sleeping outside." J

Oregon Outdoorsman Observes 'BEAR-LIKE CREATURE WITH ANTLERS?' (VIDEO)

An Oregon outdoorsman and logger recorded an unknown creature south of Long Lake. He states that it resembled a 'bear-like creature with antlers?' We will follow up with this sighting.

I recently received the following report:

"It was 1 AM off Highway 20, south of Long Lake, Oregon on August 7, 2023. I've included some pictures as well as a video link and the location (It's just out of the square lake in the first purple circle).

It appears to be a bear-like creature with antlers? It is actually almost compared to being a big cat in person. The eyes were not that of an elk, because of the placement and its 'presence.' And, it was big. much bigger than the video leads you to believe.

I don't know. I've seen a couple of cougars and I spend a lot of time in the wilderness doing logging activities, etc. It wasn't a cougar or an elk." TE

NOTE: I've included all of the information provided by the witness. Could this have been a 'Not Deer' or another anomalous being? I'm going to refer this to a Phantoms & Monsters Fortean Research team member in the area. Lon

UPDATE: BIGFOOT & OTHER CRYPTID ACTIVITY Reported at Maryland Horse Farm

The Phantoms & Monsters Fortean Research team conducted an initial investigation of the Cecil County, Maryland horse farm on August 12, 2023. Timothy Renner, Chad Redding, and I were at the location for approximately 6 hours until 10PM.

The property is very interesting, and there is audio and video evidence that needs to be examined. Also, there were a few anomalies experienced by Tim and Chad while on the property that, frankly, surprised each of us.

As soon as we have the opportunity to go through everything we will offer another updated report to the entire research team. I do believe that this location will indeed be a study area for the future.

Here is the previous post for this investigation: BIGFOOT & OTHER CRYPTID ACTIVITY Reported at Maryland Horse Farm (TRACK PHOTOS) - Lon

RED-EYED 'BLACK MASS' Haunts Chicago Lakeview Apartment Building

A young Chicago couple discovers that a red-eyed black mass haunts their Lakeview apartment building. Was it a spirit energy or an unexplained creature?

"Here's a bit of the backstory. From late 2003 to the summer of 2005, my husband (who was my boyfriend at the time) and I lived in a haunted apartment in the Lakeview neighborhood of Chicago (by the corner of Melrose and Broadway).

When we first moved to this apartment, I often felt like I was being watched and sometimes had a sense of unease. But I was young (23 when we first moved in) and a senior in college so I blamed the feelings on stress and the layout of the apartment (which was a typical Chicago four plus one, we were on the second floor right over the garage and our living room window faced the living room window of another apartment; that apartment and mine almost always kept the blinds shut).

At the time I did not believe in the paranormal. I'm the sort that has to see something myself before I believe it, and once I do see it, I analyze it endlessly.

I went to bed one night, but as usual, could not fall asleep quickly. Our two cats normally went to bed with me but they didn't on this night. After a while, I sat up in bed and looked out the bedroom doorway. I can see the dining room area from the bed, and if the cats were playing they would inevitably end up in that area (our apartment was very small, maybe 700 square feet if that, and the dining area was kind of central to the apartment layout). I hoped I would see them so I could call them to me. It was dark but not pitch dark because the apartment's windows let in the dim light from our neighbors across the way as well as typical large city light pollution.

So, thanks to this light, my eyes quickly adjusted to the gloom. That's when I realized there was a very dark black (the blackest black you can think of--blacker than black, even, like velveteen tar) mass just past where the apartment's very brief hallway ended and the dining area started. It was around 7 feet high and had a rough head and shoulder/torso shape but the rest of it kind of faded off.

I wasn't alarmed at first--if anything I leaned forward to try to get a better look, because I absolutely couldn't believe my eyes. I was baffled! But when I leaned forward and gawked at this thing, it seemed to turn and look at me, and when it did, I saw two red eyes in the "head". I did not see any other features and I don't remember if the eyes were glowing or just plain red but they were indeed red.

When the thing looked at me, my amazement was quickly replaced by a deep, primal fear. And then it swooped through the bedroom doorway and towards me. I did the only thing I could think of, and that was duck under the covers like a kid hiding from the boogeyman.

I have been in some scary situations in my life but that particular fear was almost unearthly; the feeling reminded me of the intense terror you feel when you realize the monster in your nightmare has spotted you. After several moments I began to run out of air beneath the covers so I decided to elbow my sleeping husband in the ribs hard enough to irritate him and make him wake up/sit up/roll over/DO SOMETHING. It worked and when he didn't react strangely I figured the thing was gone....and it was.

I, and later my husband, saw the shadow again but it never appeared remotely as threatening. Altogether I saw the spirit there three times.

It took me years to come to terms with this experience. The closest explanation I could come to was sleep paralysis but other than the apparition looking similar to some of the hallucinations reported during sleep paralysis, there were no similarities to sleep paralysis. I had yet to fall asleep at that point and was able to move freely. The fact my husband later saw a black mass during waking hours (and I saw something else when I was awake) also helped me come to the conclusion that what I experienced wasn’t due to sleep paralysis.

With the assistance of the Chicago History Museum Research Center, I did research on the property and building; the apartment building was built in the early 1970s; before that, a Jewish academy was on that site. Sometime before that, in 1940, a house that was on-site burned down (with no injuries or deaths). That house was once inhabited by a large family; one of their sons was a Marine that died of disease while deployed overseas during WWI. There's no record of the exact address prior to that.

I also sent a message to the property management company asking if anyone has ever reported anything related to a haunting or the paranormal (I had a hunch that the spirit moved throughout the whole building versus staying in my apartment) and I fully expected either a 'No' or no response from them. But to my surprise, the guy responding said he would check with people in the office and get back to me. A couple days later he said, "Actually, I've been told that they were aware of the situation, but haven't had any reports of strange activity in a few years. Hope this helps." LB

HUMAN-LIKE 'LYCAN' Encountered in São Paulo, Brazil Eucalyptus Plantation

A Brazilian man has a scary encounter with a 'human-like Lycan' while jogging in a Eucalyptus plantation. Very bizarre account from São Paulo, Brazil.

I came across the following account:

"My father likes to frequent the sports club of the local university where he teaches to run and exercise. It is a large sports area, with swimming pools, soccer, and basketball fields, etc. He still goes there every now and then. This place is at the exit to the next town and close to where we live in the State of São Paulo, Brazil. He goes there walking and cuts the way along a trail that goes up a ravine, passing beside a large eucalyptus plantation. Through this shortcut, you can avoid walking half a kilometer uphill to the main entrance. A lot of people use this shortcut, including local employees.

One day he went for a run a little later than usual, at around 6:30 pm. About an hour later, the sun was already gone and with just a few more minutes left of daylight, he was exhausted so decided to return by the same shortcut as usual. Would not be much of a problem since the full moon was high in the sky. When he reached the edge of the woods, he noticed a figure in the middle of the trees that looked like a horse inside the eucalyptus enclosure. He first ignored it and kept walking, thinking if he should try to communicate with someone around about it. Mind that this place is surrounded by farmers that own horses.

He kept walking but started to feel eerie as if someone was watching him. The feeling soon became stronger, a few more steps and he realized that the “horse” was walking alongside him, so he looked again between the trees and saw that it was behind a tree. He thought that was strange, a horse hiding? Also, it managed to stand facing the tree between them? He just shook it off and continued the trail. He was already halfway down but the unsettling fear was increasing so he looked at the horse again and, as his eyes adjusted to the darkness, he could see it a little better. Now it didn't really look like a horse, because he saw the animal jump from behind a tree to another, by the way, it jumped it seemed to be a very tall and strong person. He stopped in shock and stared at the animal, still behind the tree, and noticed something swinging, what he previously thought was the horse's tail now looked like a man wearing a long coat, but the darkness and shadows of the branches were too confusing to figure it out.

He decided to ignore it and move on, thinking it was maybe just his imagination. He kept on track but, at the end of the trail, there is a point where his path and the path where the animal was would cross each other. He started to freak out and decided to go back to the field and take the avenue, so he started walking back, paying close attention to the animal. He even thought it could be a friend trying to scare or make fun of him. Going back towards the field where the lights were now on, he could better see its silhouette, a massive muscular thing, hunchback, apparently covered in thick fur and what seemed like pointy ears in its head. He stopped in disbelief, but the creature kept walking towards him, not worrying much about hiding anymore. That's when his blood ran cold, the animal was approaching from the side as if it wanted to trap him. He tried not to run in order to display confidence and avoid attention, so he fast-walked back towards the field, distancing from the trail, when he took a last glance. The animal was there, still, lowered in a bush on its 4s like a gorilla. It looked like a huge human dog. When they were around 100 meters apart, my father ran to the main entrance at the avenue and was relieved to see that the animal did not follow. He came back by the avenue, still on high alert, sh*tting his pants.

Now every time he goes there, he makes sure he doesn’t stay past dusk." HG

9-FOOT-TALL BIGFOOT Startles Teen While Camping in Western Montana

A teen encounters a 9-foot-tall Bigfoot while sleeping under the stars in the deep woods of western Montana during the summer of 1988.

The following account was forwarded to me:

"In the summer of 1988, I was 14 years old visiting my dad. After my parents had separated, my dad decided to live out in a small house in the woods, about a half hour away from Missoula, Montana. Kind of off the grid. This was his dream and he allowed me to experience it with him about every other weekend. We would go hiking, hunting, kayaking, bird watching, you name it. We would sometimes camp out outside in the woods, and that is where I saw it. It was one of those camping trips I went on with my dad, where I not only saw a Bigfoot, but it was terribly close to me.

My dad and I found a spot pretty deep in the brush to set up camp. When night fell, we decided to sleep in our sleeping bags outside to watch the stars. My dad fell asleep pretty quickly, but it was a bit harder for me. I remember trying extremely hard to fall asleep that night, but to be honest, even though by that time I had been on plenty of camping trips with my dad already, I was still pretty freaked out by the forest at night. This fear kept me awake all through the night.

I remember that at a certain point when I was just starting to finally drift into sleep, I heard something come out of the trees and snapping twigs loudly as it walked on towards us. My dad still was fast asleep, and now I was basically pissing my pants. I thought some strange person was walking on towards our campsite, but as I squinted my eyes open a bit, I could see that only about 10 feet away from me was an enormous, hairy creature that stood and walked on two legs like a human would. Obviously, I wanted to scream out in fear but I tried my best to pretend I was asleep in hopes that it would just eventually move along.

I think the creature which I now believe to be a Bigfoot, was attracted to the smell of the meat my dad had been cooking before. And strangely, it didn’t seem the least bit interested in us. It seemed more interested in just slowly walking around our campsite, presumably looking for some of the food it must’ve thought we had. But I have to tell you, that not only was I scared at the sight of the giant hairy man, but I was also sickened by the pungent and overwhelming odor that the beast was emitting.

Eventually, the Bigfoot seemed to get bored and disappeared into the darkness. I remember trembling in my sleeping bag, and not being able to sleep the rest of the night. I didn’t tell my father about it until he woke up the next morning, because I was afraid if I tried to wake him up during the night, then the creature might see us awake, or even hear us. I was not willing to find out how it would react when it did.

When I told my dad about it, he just told me it was probably a large bear walking around on its hind legs. But when I described to him that the creature was extremely human-like and walked like a person would, he chalked it up to it me just either hallucinating from fear or that I was not aware that I was dreaming.

To this day I know exactly what I saw. It was about 9 feet tall, with extremely long and matted brown hair all over its body, including the face, which to me, seemed to look very human-like in a primitive sort of way. I still remember the horrible stench that made me want to vomit. That was probably the longest and most terrifying night of my life. But afterward, I’ve come to honor the experience, because I would come to realize that the creature was undoubtedly a Bigfoot, and I was one of the few people who got the chance to see it extremely up close.

So, to all of you skeptics out there, I understand your incredulity, but believe me, I’ve experienced it firsthand. There is no doubt that these creatures exist. I’m not sure about how abundant they are, but they truly exist, and they are not only scary looking and smelly, but they are a fascinating sight to see. And even though I only remember hearing the Bigfoot grunt, and growl a bit, I feel that they are more human-like than apes, due to the appearance of the face. That was actually the scariest part. Seeing that not only was there a strange, giant creature creeping around my campsite, but it was a very human-like, albeit extremely hairy creature. And when I say hairy, I really mean it. I’ve never seen so much hair on the body of any creature.

My words here can never do justice to what I saw that night as a teen. I can never describe to you, just how otherworldly and surreal the whole situation felt. But it was real, and I know I wasn’t dreaming because I could not get to sleep the whole night. In fact, I was very wide awake, even though I pretended to sleep while every now and then opening my eyes slightly to catch glimpses of the Bigfoot.

To this day, I am greatly affected by the experience, because it changed my whole perception of the world. After that, I would never doubt the possibility of anything existing, not even things like vampires, aliens, or the chupacabra. I learned from that night to always keep an open mind when hearing about the seemingly impossible, because I myself encountered a creature long thought, and still thought to be purely a myth by most people."

SEGMENTED UAP Appears, Then Vanishes, Over Mineral Bluff, Georgia (VIDEO)

On July 27, 2023, a video was uploaded on YouTube. It apparently had been filmed earlier that same day. The UAP appears and moves upwards before vanishing over Mineral Bluff, Georgia.

Though, upon further analysis, a silvery segmented object appears against the blue backdrop and moves upwards briefly before vanishing.

“Rolling U.A.P. - U.F.O. Over Mineral Bluff, Georgia. On July 27, 2023, In Mineral Bluff, Georgia I aimed an old I-phone 5 to the south,” the witness wrote. “Upon playback of the file, I noticed a UAP-UFO that rolls in and then disappears. I rewound Flight24 to verify that there are no planes in the area at 18:20 UTC.”
