Oregon Man Now a Believer of the 'FOREST PEOPLE'

An Oregon man is out in the forest cutting kindling when he senses that he is being watched. Later, he talks to a Native man and is convinced he is being observed by a Bigfoot.

"In July 1976, my wife and two children ages 12 and 7, and I moved across the Oregon Cascade mountain range from Corvallis, Oregon to Sisters, Oregon. At the time Sisters was a small mountain range. I was so naive as to forest management I didn't know there were designated areas to get firewood.

During a Saturday in late October, we were running low on kindling, so we decided to go south as sisters about 12 miles alongside the road where there was a large growth of two to three-inch diameter trees with many blow-downs on the ground. We figured they would be easy to collect and sow up and load into our vehicle trunks. The morning was chilly high 20s low 30s so about 8 AM we bundled the kids and ourselves and headed out in our two-car caravan. Arriving at our spot we pulled off the road and got busy. The only tool I had was a small bow saw. While my family gathered the poles I began sawing. We quickly loaded my wife's trunk, and she took the kids and headed back to town.

Once they were gone I started sawing wood to load in my car but after a couple of minutes every hair in my neck arms and spine stood up I could. I felt I was in danger and that I should leave. There was no mind speak, just an intense feeling that I was in danger and needed to leave. I also knew something had eyes on me. I immediately stood up as my gaze was drawn to a downed tree about 40 feet away. It had snapped about four feet off the ground and been there a while as weeds and branches were obscuring any sight underneath the tree. I studied that tree briefly looking for something out of place, but I saw nothing and then slowly did a full 180 turn looking for any sign of any indication of an animal in the vicinity. I saw nothing. I later learned I should have looked up into the trees, but it never occurred to me then I tried to forgive myself for an overactive imagination. So I knelt back down, and I got back to work. 

Almost immediately the hair again stood up and those feelings and thoughts came back, so I repeated the slow turn looking for signs something was out of place nothing again. I studied the downed tree to see if I could see anything behind it. There was nothing there. I brushed it off as imagination. I said out loud to myself if anyone or anything else it there, then all right I got the message. I'm leaving. It took me two trips to get all the wood and my saw to the car. Once loaded I went to the driver's side door, took one last look around, started the car and left. I never saw heard or smelled anything unusual or out of place.

The following Monday when I went to get the kids from the babysitter I must have said something to her. Her husband is part of Native American and at the time was a heavy equipment operator for the forest service. Three days later when I went to collect the kids Bill was home. I'll call him Bill, it's not his real name. He was known for being a straight shooter. I stopped at the picnic table and said hi, and he said to get some iced tea or coffee and come back to talk to him. When I returned he immediately asked me to tell him what happened the Saturday before.

As I told him he asked if I knew what it was that bothered me. I told him I didn't know. I figured it must probably it was a cougar, a bobcat, or a bear. He smiled. He asked, "Did you check the trees above you?" I shook my head no. "You should have." Then Bill said something about anan apex predator giving a warning before attacking. I thought for a minute and replied, "So what do you think it was then?" He asked, "Could it have been a Bigfoot?" I thought he was joking, so I laughed and said something to effect that I believe they could be real but that they were probably myths or folk tales.

For the next hour plus he related his personal experiences with the people of the forest. Here is one of his stories.

Bill was on a job site in Washington state using a D8 Cat. He was on the side of the mountain when he stopped for lunch. Where he stopped there was a 600 to 700 foot cliff drop off on his right. He sat on the edge of the Cat with his legs dangling over the track to eat and enjoy the scenery of the valley below. As he took a bite of his second sandwich he heard a faint noise behind him, but on the other side of the Cat. He turned to look and to his surprise his face was about 18 inches away from a huge Sabe that was leaning on the track looking at him with a faint smile on its face. He said he knew he was in no danger, and he felt no fear. For some reason that morning he had asked the place he was staying at to pack an extra sandwich for his lunch. He slowly reached into his lunchbox, grabbed the sandwich, unwrapped it and held it out to his new friend. The Sabe took it, ate it in one bite, pushed off the track, gave a slight grunt, and turned and walked up into the woods, giving him one last look. After hearing all his encounters I left their house that night a firm believer in the forest people."

THUNDERBIRDS & PTEROSAURS: Identification & Existence

I received an interesting email from a listener at Phantoms & Monsters Radio:

Good evening, Mr. Strickler:

"I often listen to your Phantoms and Monsters podcast (found you through a recommendation from the Expanded Perspectives podcast). Usually I'm content to just listen, but I had a few notes on your recent episode on thunderbirds and other flying cryptids. I thought I'd share them in case they're of interest.

1. Re: the feathered thunderbirds spotted in Illinois and points south, many reports include a ruff of white feathers around the neck. I think there's a good candidate that doesn't require reaching so far back into the past, and that is the Andean Condor. They aren't generally local this far north, but it's possible they might occasionally stray north, and as the climate warms, their range may be expanding. Grizzly bears are now expanding so far north that they are hybridizing (very rarely) with polar bears.

Now you might point out that the size estimates often indicate a much larger bird, but I would call your attention to a female Stellar's Sea Eagle who strayed onto the Alasan coast maybe a decade ago. Her visit initially triggered a rash of alarmed reports of an enormous bird, with one report describing her as having a wingspan approximating that of a Cessna. In actuality, an adult female Stellar's Sea Eagle is only about half again as big as Bald Eagle. But if you're not someone who pays close attention to birds, and you see one unexpectedly, she's going to look enormous, and you're likely to drastically overestimate her wingspan.

2. Re: the Rhamphorhynchoid sightings.  I was really excited initially, when I first heard about these reports, but then I realized that there is one solid piece of evidence suggesting that the sightings are not what they seem. It's the same bit of evidence that speaks against other "dinosaur" sightings.  It is this. We now know that the majority of therapodian dinos and also many of the flying critters from that era -- including the Rhamphorhynchoidea -- were feathered, or more accurately, covered in primitive feather-like structures that later evolved into proper feathers. But the people who report seeing supposed surviving dinosaurs and pterosaurs don't report the animals being fuzzy or feathered. They describe them according to the outdated and inaccurate model that is still represented in fictional films and television. To me, this suggests they are not seeing the real animal.

That said, nothing would make me happier than finding out that there are real dinosaurs still out there! I hope people keep looking for them.

All the best, and thanks for all the research you do! I have great fun listening, since I found you on the recommendation of the Expanded Perspectives guys."

Amish Farmers Encounter BIGFOOT-LIKE 'MAN-CREATURE' in Lancaster County, PA

Three Pennsylvania Amish farmer observed a strange man walking in the field they were working. The 'man-creature' frightened them. Later, the being vanished before their eyes.

The following account was forwarded to me almost two decades ago:

Near Strasburg, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania - August 1978 - afternoon: Three Amish men were working in their field when a strange looking man approached them from a neighboring farm. The man was yelling and jumping about. The Amish men were alarmed and noticed that this 'man' had arms, legs and a face that seemed different, more animal than human. He had coarse dark hair on his limbs and face and wore dark and tattered boxer shorts. As the man-creature approached closer, he yelled something but it was not understood by the men.

The men ran towards their house. The man-creature was behind them. One of the Amish men ducked into the dairy barn and the other two immediately entered the house. An elderly Amish woman who had been in the garden came to see what was taking place on. When the man-creature saw her, it stopped running, sat down on the grass and stared at the sky.

The men came out of the house and one slowly walked over to the man-creature and attempted to talk to it. The man-creature continued to look at the sky but muttered. The man and woman noticed that a horrible stench permeated from this creature, described as rotting flesh.

After several minutes, the creature got to its feet and walked towards the dairy barn. As it did, witnesses noticed that the creature was 'fading away.' Eventually it vanished from view just before it reached the barn. Shocked, the Amish witnesses dropped to their knees, not knowing what they had witnessed.

NOTE: This account was communicated by one of the witnesses to a non-Amish friend who periodically purchased produce from them. It was disclosed to me several years after the incident, but I know the location of the incident. The witness who recounted the incident has since passed away, but I was able to (reluctantly) verify the incident before that. In turn, I promised to keep personal information confidential.

Historically, Lancaster / York County folklore has mentioned various Wild Men and/or Bigfoot-like creatures. There have been sightings as old as the early settlers in this area. In addition, the Shawnee & Susquehannock people who once inhabited the land felt that these were spirits.

In 1987, I spoke with a self-proclaimed shaman whose Susquehannock ancestors had moved to Ohio & Maryland after many others were killed off by smallpox and invading settlers. The Susquehannocks were referred to as 'giants' by John Smith and the early settlers. Most were described as being over 6 feet tall and broad-chested. This shaman told me that the Susquehannocks cursed the land before they left. He said that the dead would rise as shapeshifters and torment the white man. Lon

Colorado Witness Fixated By PALE CRAWLER HUMANOID Encounter

An encounter with a pale crawler humanoid leaves a Colorado witness reeling about what they observed and an obsession to obtain more information on the unknown being.

The following account was forwarded to me:

"So, I don't typically believe in this kind of stuff, but I had a very strange encounter a while back. I told my coworkers about it, and they insisted I had seen a rake? I've been researching since I had no idea what it was. It looks very similar to what I saw, except it's a fictional creature from a creepypasta? (Just learned about that too) So I'm not sure what I saw.

Anyway, I was driving home from work about a month or so ago and headed down this typically busy side street in Douglas County, Colorado, called Havana. It's close to Centennial Airport, in a business district, surrounded by apartments. It was about 1:30am and there wasn't much traffic, just a Jeep in front of me. As I drove around a bend in the road, where Dry Creek turns into Havana, I saw in my peripheral vision a figure to my right on the sidewalk standing between two small trees held up by wire supports. The creature stood kind of behind them. At first glance, I figured it was just a tall, slender dog, like a white greyhound or Great Dane. It escaped and seemed to bark at traffic on the sidewalk.

I was traveling about 45 mph when I passed, and it was dark out. But I noticed as I passed by, that it appeared to have a humanoid shaped head with black eyes. It also had a bent over hunched back, long slender legs, and an unusually wide mouth, like it was screaming or something.

I thought to myself, "Yo, what was that?" so I slowed down quickly to look back, and in my mirror, I saw the creature turn around and run off towards a fence/brick retaining wall on the other side of the sidewalk. But as it ran off, I saw how tall and slender the creature was. It seemed very pale, almost grey, with a anorexic and boney appearance. It also moved strangely, where its hind leg joints were inverted and bent in the opposite direction from its front legs. At that point, I was seriously creeped out. The Jeep in front of me had also slowed down, so I could only assume they saw it, too.

We both continued driving as it was late/early and couldn't stop in the middle of a busy road. However, that situation really made my skin crawl. I checked my mirrors for the rest of the drive home. I debated if I should've called a non-emergency line to have an officer check it out, but I told myself they would think I was an idiot.

Now, every night when I take that road, I look around to see if i can spot it again. I really want to believe it was just a dog. However, I can't stop thinking about how strange and quickly it moved with its backwards knees and how long/wide its mouth stretched. I haven't talked about this much except to some family and my coworkers because, frankly, it sounds ridiculous.

I'm wondering what I saw? And if it's something I should talk about? Or should I pretend I never saw anything and move on with my life?

Update:

I've had a few more strange occurrences that I am unsure if they are related to, but worth noting. So, it's been a little over a week since I made this post. I decided to drive around the neighboring area on my way home from work recently at about 1am, just to look around. However, I didn't see much of anything. Just a bunch of empty parking lots, dark fields, and closed office buildings. I can't stop thinking about the thing I saw. I've been feeling uneasy like I need validation due to self-skepticism.

I've also been feeling uncomfortable in and around my house lately. I almost feel like something is watching me. I know that sounds like paranoia, but you know that natural feeling you get when you realize someone is in a room you're walking into? Even though they aren't talking or noisy? Like you can sense their presence? It seems like that.

I don't live too far from the area where I saw it. However, as of lately, I feel my skin crawling at night when I walk from my car to my house. I live in a three-floor house shared with my family. They sleep upstairs, and I have a finished basement. I usually get home around 1-2am, so by the time I get home they are already upstairs and asleep. The last few nights while I've been home, I've been hearing noises from the kitchen and living room, which are right above my room (always around 2pm-4pm) that sound like someone is walking around. I've looked up a few times to see if someone is up there, but no one is up, and the rooms are empty. I keep telling myself it's just the house settling, but the consistent timing is weird. I've asked my family if they are coming down at all to the kitchen and living room at night and they've all denied it.

The creepiest occurrence I've had recently was in my basement room. Remember that feeling of presence in the room I talked about? I feel like eyes are on me in my room and I've heard random sounds at the window in my basement the last few nights. We have a converted window well in my room that's about three feet from the floor and has blinds. The well itself is pretty deep by about 5 feet and 4 feet wide with an escape ladder and no cover. I've heard a loud thump twice this last week, like something has hit the ground or fallen into the window well. I occasionally hear tapping sounds from the window. Like something's hitting the glass. This happened again the other night, so I walked over and opened the blinds but didn't see anything. I'm overthinking, or just going crazy.

Last night was the final straw that pushed me to update this post. I got home around 1:30am and grabbed my backpack and stuff out of my car. As I walked to the door of my house it was pretty dark out and my family had forgotten to leave the light on for me. I struggled to find my house key to unlock the door with my water bottle, dinner, and backpack in my hands. As I was fumbling around with my keys, I heard this really strange, gargled growling/hissing sound. Strongly enough, The best way I could describe it, is like the weird sound Enderman makes in Minecraft when you kill them. Yeah, it sounded like that (not as intense) but almost metallic and echoing, like a wet growl through a pipe. Even stranger was that it sounded like it was just in front of me on my porch at my front door, even though nothing was there. I quickly unlocked the door and ran in. Locked the door behind me and turned on all the lights I could find. I also heard more tapping on my window that night but still couldn't see anything.

I've felt on edge the last few nights. I'd really like to hope this is all just a racoon and I'm just paranoid. But I can't help but feel all these weird occurrences are connected in some way. Also, I feel watched. For now, I'm just going to stop wondering and ignore it all. It's not my objective to dig deeper into this and stir up a hornet's nest or drive myself crazy." F

Italian Experiencer Recalls CLOSE ENCOUNTERS, POSSIBLE ABDUCTION, & ANGEL OF DEATH

A young Italian experiencer contacts me, and relates several incidents involving him and his relatives. These include close encounters, a possible abduction, and an angel of death.

I recently received the following account:

"It was 2014, and I was eight years old. I don't remember the exact month, but I'm pretty sure it was December. Strange things had happened in the house in the previous days, strange shadows and continuous nightmares while I slept, which is why I always slept with my mother that year. I don't remember the exact date it happened. However, that evening my father was working the night shift so my mother and I were home alone.

My mother was sleeping next to me and I woke her up telling her there was something in the corridor because I heard noises. She said it was just the wind, and turned back to sleep. I couldn't sleep, and after the umpteenth noise I opened my eyes. In front of me, to the side and in front of the cot where my mother slept, was a gray figure with thin legs and thin arms. It held up one arm to indicate something, with the hand parallel to my mother's face, which was turned onto the back of the bed. I closed my eyes hoping it was a nightmare. Then I opened them again, and it was still there. Lying in bed, it seemed to reach up to the door handle, which is next to my bed, so it was not higher than 60-70 cm. Perhaps it really was taller, and it was because of the perspective that it seemed short to me.

At that point I closed my eyes, and now that I think about it, stupidly enough, I reached out to try and feel that thing. I wanted to see if it was real, or if I was dreaming. My hand touched something sharp and cold, and I spun around closing my eyes. I don't know if what I touched was the thing or the metal frame of the cot, but I think it was the frame.

A few minutes later I turned around and opened The thing was gone, so I figured it was all a dream, and then decided to sleep. Suddenly, inches from my nose, a round, gray thing appears in front of the headboard. I start to scream, but no sound comes out of my mouth, so I blink, and the round thing is gone. I try to fall back asleep and succeed, but I don't know if I was abducted afterwards or if it was all a figment of my imagination.

After that, still in that period (end of 2014 beginning of 2015) when I was trying to fall asleep, I remember that my father was also in the house. I heard a voice saying "Ah... food...". I never understood what it was. Over the years I've thought several times that it was my father who watched something on the phone before falling asleep. However, I couldn't close my eyes all night.

Three other similar cases have occurred. Once I saw a dark shadow breathing heavily beyond the door that separates the living room and the corridor, which is made of opaque glass. Another happened the following year, when I was changing in my room and I heard a growl from the corridor. I immediately closed the bedroom door without reopening it until my parents arrived.

The last one happened two years ago after I fought with my father. While I was alone in the room, I jokingly said "Aliens, can't you kidnap him for a few days?" and I received a hoarse and disturbing "No..." as an answer. I still remember it like it was yesterday. I didn't just see shadows.

Three years ago, in August, while I was in the courtyard, at about four in the afternoon, I saw a gray figure materializing out of nowhere. The figure trudged a few steps in wide strides before disappearing after stepping onto the first step to ascend up to the house. It was slightly shorter than a person, with long arms and legs. I remember it had four fingers, and it stared at me before vanishing. I will never forget that look. A white-toothed smile and almond eyes. My folks were next to me looking in the same direction, but they saw nothing. When I told them what I had seen they said it was just a trick of the lights. I also was touched, and perhaps about to be kidnapped.

At the age of 10, something grabbed my head and dragged me out of bed. I woke up screaming and putting my hands on my head. I had time to touch a pair of wrinkled hands before my parents woke up, and the hands let me go. My parents came to see what had happened, finding me on the floor groggy. They told me it was just a nightmare, but I'm sure it wasn't.

I had the last experience last August, on a Wednesday, at midnight or noon. I watched Netflix on my computer while playing games on my phone. The light from the computer quickly illuminated a hand seemingly connected to nothingness trying to touch me just above my left knee. Without telling my (sleeping) parents and without shouting, I turned on the lights immediately, but whatever it was was gone.

My mother had similar experiences to the first I related to. Once she saw a short, huge-headed humanoid figure spying on her and my uncle from the front door to their bedroom. The second time a similar figure spying on her from behind a radiator, on the corner on the way to my grandma sister's house, which is attached to my grandma's by a corridor full of windows. He never told me when the second happened, but the first happened at night. Another thing about my mom is that she always sees a black figure before a family member dies. She says it's death, and I believe her. He saw her before my great-grandfather passed away, then before my great-grandmother passed away, and last time in 2021, at the end of May, about a week before my grandfather died of a heart attack.

My grandmother and her sister also had weird experiences. Shortly after my grandfather's death, from the corridor going to my grandmother's sister's house, for a few nights, they saw a bright red dot floating in the sky. It rose above the horizon, moving up to the chimney of the house closest to them, to then rise into the sky and disappearing over my grandmother's house. I don't know why they never took pictures. They say it was a drone or a Chinese lantern, but I don't think a Chinese lantern takes the exact same route some nights in a row. Maybe it really was a drone though, but not having seen it (and the two of them not being very adept at identifying modern technology) I can't be sure.

My grandmother's sister had the last experience I want to tell you about back in 1960. She never told me the exact year or month. At the time she was still living in Olgiate Comasco, Italy, the birthplace of my mother's maternal branch, with my great-grandmother. She was coming home from work, and night had just fallen. To get home from where he worked at the time, she usually passed through a wood that has now been replaced by a few houses. On the dirt road he punctured a wheel on the bike he usually used to travel there. A few minutes after she started shuffling behind her bike she saw lights in a clearing, and never scared easily she approached.

A similar event had also happened a few days earlier, but it was explained as the lights of a demonstration or a discotheque that opened in a small village near his home, whose name I don't recall and I don't know if it still exists. What he found in the clearing, however, was a series of stationary lights within which other series of lights spun in opposite directions. These lights then suddenly turned off. When she got home, my great-grandmother asked why it had taken so long. My grandmother's sister, looking at the watch on her wrist, saw it was 11:30 pm. This is when she normally gets home around 9 pm. She told my great-grandmother everything, but I don't know what happened next. She never wanted to know what had happened to her.

Near where my grandmother and my grandmother's sister grew up is Lake Como, Italy, and several times they have seen what they call "heat lightning", basically ball lightning, and they said that the red ball they saw wasn't a ball lightning because it lasted too long and was always the same, and my aunt said it's impossible for so many and as big as the lights she had seen in the 60s to form.

I live in the suburbs of Abbiategrasso, province of Milan, Italy. This is located just next to the Ticino triangle, perhaps the hot spot with the most UFO sightings in northern Italy. Nearby are the Cameri military base and the state powder magazine in Remondò." MB

More Humans With ANIMAL FACES Reported

After posting the sighting of a horse-faced woman in Missouri, the following comments followed. Humans with horse faces, as well as other animal faces, is more prevalent than I thought. 

“My mom told me a story about my grandfather that you might find interesting. My grandfather was born in Mexico in the 1920s but grew up in Los Angeles. He was a WW2 vet/Purple Heart recipient and deeply religious. So much that he built a large alter in his living room, where he could kneel and pray each day, complete with statues of the Virgin Mary and Jesus and candles/incense, etc (When I was a kid I thought this was a normal thing in all grandparents' houses). Because my grandfather was so religious that he basically never lied, from what I’m told, due to his deep faith.

Well apparently, when he was younger in his 20s I believe, (and perhaps less devout) he and a friend of his were driving and saw an attractive young woman walking down the street. They only saw her from behind and apparently drove up next to her to call out to her. But when she turned around she had a horse's face. Like a real horse's head/face. They allegedly screamed and hit the gas and drove off. As I was told, it was one of the events he personally witnessed that led him to be so religious." V

One commenter also claims to have seen a similar creature in Michigan:

“I once saw a goat-man. I will never forget his 2-1/2 inch long teeth and the way he spoke. It was at a concert at Pine Knob in Michigan. I was walking through the crowd and I heard a voice nearby that sounded unnatural, and was just. ...wrong. I turned my head and saw him 8-10 feet away. It was the most surreal experience I've had. Especially because nobody else noticed or was bothered by this thing.”

Another commenter wrote of her encounter:

“I walked into a restaurant and noticed a group of young girls at a table. One in front was looking down at her phone. I remember thinking about how cute her dress was, and she must have stared. She turns to stare at me and I see a goat's face. I gasped. And she was normal and looked away. I felt crazy telling people about me, but I’ll never doubt it wasn’t real."

Chris Bledsoe's Original UFO & ALIEN ENCOUNTER Report

Chris Bledsoe's original MUFON CMS report. I interviewed Chris not long after he reported the incident along the Cape Fear River, NC near his home.

Fayetteville, NC - 2007-01-08 - 6:00PM: My son and 3 other men were over a mile off the main road on the Cape Fear River fishing all afternoon Just before dark my son wandered into the woods to maybe spot deer feeding in the afternoon.

I decided to walk up the two rut muddy road thick woods on both sides to the main road because fishing was slow.

The guys had a fire right on the river bank, and so I told them I will be back in a while.

As I was walking along the road I was hearing lots of scurrying in the woods on both sides I had no flashlight and thought man there are a lot of deer around because this area is known for lots of wildlife.

As I made it along I was unnerved at the sounds in the forest, so I found my self steady looking to maybe see what I thought was deer and maybe it was.

The woods were really dark the road leads to a field which is maybe 200 yards or more wide just short of the main road as I came up on the hill to the edge of the field I was shocked to see 3 Large orange balls moving down towards the ground and towards myself, and they stopped just over the trees maybe a mile away or closer and hovered there.

I knew it was not natural I am a commercial pilot and I know aircraft.

I stood in shock thinking this cannot be real.

I stayed maybe 10 to 15 minutes then began to feel nervous, so I made my way back to the men on the river in a hurry mud and all.

I then in a panic took off looking for my son which was 17 years old at the time and as I started into the woods calling him he came towards me totally shaken telling me dad you will never believe me, but I have been hiding from Aliens I am scared they are in the woods and I believed at that time he had seen something he was serious.

I told him Jr. I just saw three orange UFOs up at the road, and It scared me, so I came looking for you.

We made it back to the river and my son excited began to tell the other 3 men what he had seen, and they started on the both of us.

What I did not know was the three of them saw the same thing as my son during that time the sequence I am not sure, but we all saw the same.

It was a clear cold night stars were bright and about that time one of the other men holding a fishing pole hollered look up and to all our amazement the stars looked as if 6 to 8 of them from different parts of the sky moved very fast seeming to converge in a group and then all of a sudden three of the objects side by side came over our heads and landed or went out of site on the other side of the river maybe 2 to 400 yards away all three lights were round bright white blinding lights as big as maybe 100 yards in diameter all side by side all touching down or going out of site in the forest just on the other side of the river.

It scared all of us so bad the three friends of mine along with my son and me dropped our fishing poles screaming let's go home.

We left fire poles and all speeding up the muddy road to the main road each one in a panic some of the men were fussing take me home first I need to find my wife and children.

When we made it to the top of the hill this is where the trees on both sides end and the field starts I slammed on the brakes all of us in shock to see what looked like a (brilliant white egg-shaped sphere with a tail with long spikes all around the middle and front section hovering 20 feet over the main road 200 yards from us, and it looked as if it or the spiked part of it was making slow revolutions.

This I tell you this is true four grown men as old as 50 and my 17-year-old son was frozen in my truck looking at this thing straight in front of us the lights were brilliant white the object then appeared to raise up started down the road in the direction that we intended to go, and then it shot off just over the trees out of sight.

The 3 orange balls were no longer there.

All 5 of us were terrified. We raced to Donnie's home first. He ran to the door his wife came out, and we all told her of the story and were all looking at the sky.

Gene, who was 50-years-old lived next door we ran him home and then raced to David's home.

His wife came out to meet us and all of us witnessed strange lights over the trees behind his home.

My son and I started home to see cars stopped alongside of the road looking at the same lights.

We made it home and was terrified trying to calm down we found ourselves sitting in what we call is the red room which is my private study off of my bedroom on the rear of the home staring out the window at the sky.

I live on 6 acres of land, and we have a large dog kennel just in the woods behind my home and a Chesapeake Bay Retriever which lives on my back steps a guard dog she lets us know if anything from a person to a squirrel is on our property.

We were home maybe 4 hours calmed down a lot no TV didn't have one at that time I guess it was around 1 to 2:00 am and there was a noise that sounded sorta like a prop jet flew tree top high over the house I ran outside and could see nothing.

Within 30 to 45 minutes all the dogs in the kennel were roaring they are all hounds, and they will tell you when there is something there that is not supposed to be.

At that time my Retriever was going crazy hair standing up on her back barking towards the kennel.

My son was scared, but I convinced him to go with me to see what had the dogs stirred up.

My son and I opened the door and the Retriever took off you see she most of the time will not leave the patio unless I go out if she is stirred up.

There was frost on the ground didn't even have shoes on we took off behind her, and she ran just behind the kennels and all the dogs were roaring, and she was hair standing up barking at something in the bushes along with all the other dogs in the kennel, and then she took of after what ever it was and so my son and I ran back down the road that leads to the kennel to my backyard at the very rear of the property trying to cut off what ever it was she was chasing.

When I got to the blueberry hedge row which at the very rear of the property she was still the dog making her way to me in a roaring like panic.

At that time I stopped not really scared but kinda numb to see this max of 4 tall creature person alien staring at me.

It looked as if it had a clear glass like covering around it. It appeared to have a faint glow of red and black the face I could not see anything but what looked like it had a red set of goggles and a black or dark covering over the lower part of its face sorta like a mask. The body appeared to sorta glow. I can probably draw it better than explain it.

It then disappeared just as my son and the dog got right up on it and my son then told me you see I am not crazy this was the same description as he told everyone.

I will not go into detail but my son and I were committed to an insane asylum by our family because they really thought we were crazy.

We were released within 2 days and then my Father came to me and apologized when he said he had heard on the radio and the news that lots of people had been seeing strange lights and that the government reported that a Soviet Satellite had fallen that same night.

I am 45 years old with 4 children churchgoer retired builder and commercial pilot.

I have been ridiculed committed along with my son and oppressed to say anything, but I know what I saw, and four other men will say the same I have been since hooked on UFO files trying to find others that have had the same experience.

I will take a lie detector be hypnotized whatever to bring the truth to the public.

My son and the other three men all saw the same and have their own accounts.

WAVING BLACK-EYED GHOST WOMAN Encountered Near Oakland, California Funeral Home

An Oakland, CA couple observe an apparition of a well-dressed woman with black eyes at an intersection near a funeral home. The apparition was waving at the couple and has been seen by others.

I received the following account:

"Thanks for reading my email. This occurred in Oakland, California in November 2016 where my wife's parents live. There had been several shootings in the area (more than normal) and the funeral home on International Blvd. had been getting a lot of business.

My in-laws were driving through Oakland at around 2 AM in the morning. My mother-in-law worked as a live in hospice nurse and only had a day or so off. She was coming back at 2 AM after having the evening off. While they were driving to her job, they saw a beautiful young woman standing on the corner next to the funeral home who was very well-dressed. They saw her at the corner while they were stopped at the intersection, and noticed that the woman smiled and then waved at them. They also noticed that her eyes were totally black. My in-laws were frightened and drove away as fast as they could.

My father-in-law drops off my mother-in-law at her work and wonders if that ghost woman he saw at the corner will be there on the way back (he had to go through that same intersection). 

On his way back, she was still there at the corner, and this time he was stuck at the light at the intersection. She again waved to him and he noticed again she had black eyes. It seemed like she was trying to get him to come over and pick her up. Naturally when the light turned green, he sped out of that intersection to get home. No one seems to know who she is, but they all seem to agree that her funeral was probably through the funeral home there on that street. As to why she was on that street between 2 AM and 3 AM. I think she was looking for "victims". W

NOTE: The funeral home in the account was the C.P. Bannon Mortuary on International Blvd. in Oakland, CA. I found another short reference to a similar sighting at the location in 2019. Does anyone know of similar activity in the area? Lon

HORSE-FACED WOMAN Observed by Missouri Mall Shopper

A woman is in a local mall in Chesterfield, Missouri when she notices a woman's face morph into the shape of a horse. The incident left a indelible impression with her since the sighting. 

"At the time this happened, I lived near St. Louis, Missouri with my daughter and my husband. My daughter, her friend, and I had gone to a local mall to do some shopping before school started. We were walking out of one of the stores, and there were some people walking in at the same time. I happen to glance up and notice one of the women walking in. Her true face, it shown through her human skin. It was the face of a brown horse with the shape of the horse's head morphed under the woman’s long dark hair. When she noticed that I saw her true form, she snapped her head around and stared at me as I walked away. I was telling my daughter and her friend what I saw, and what was happening, but they just laughed and did not believe me.

Please tell me someone else has seen something like this and I am not the only one. I can’t forget what I saw that day. I wish I could draw but I can’t. Please, someone tell me that they are seeing something like this. It was at the Chesterfield Mall in Chesterfield, Missouri in 2012. I have experienced many paranormal encounters in the past, but this one is near the top of the list. The only times I have ever smell anything were the few times I smell cinnamon all around me while no one else did. It happened in my home as well as in bars. And in the car. I have also smell a strong odor of cigarettes around me. Others could smell it in our home. None of us smoke and all windows were closed.

Source: Reddit - 'Humanoidencounters'

NOTE: I am aware of other sightings of horse-faced humans being seen and identified. The odor of cinnamon is interesting because I have the same sense occur on occasion, especially when I conduct a remote view session. I attribute it to spirit energy recognition. I have heard and read of other people with the same ability. Lon

Canadian Experiencer Fears Continued ABDUCTIONS BY TALL, THIN BLACK ENTITIES

A Canadian man sees a tall, thin black entity in his home. It brings back horrifying memories of a 3-day abduction he experienced 17 years ago. Now he fears it may happen again!

I recently received the following account:

"We live in New Brunswick, Canada. On July 22, 2023 in the early morning, we were awoken by our 6 month old daughter crying. We heard this on the baby monitor in our room.

As usual, we got up to check on him, me to grab her and console her, my wife to prepare a bottle for her. I picked her up and as I left the nursery, I looked down the stairs to my right, through the garage window. I saw a tall, thin, black entity. I know I saw it and as I looked at it it darted inhumanly fast out of sight.

I walked to the room with our daughter, my wife had the bottle ready, and I tried to get the dog to leave the room with me. He was too scared to leave the room which is unusual. I eventually coaxed him to follow me. As soon as we left the room, the dog tucked its tail between its legs, and headed to the desk in the living room. It stayed under and trembled.

I would dismiss this as my mind playing tricks on me. However, when I was 19 and I am 36 now, I had an experience with a tall slender black being, which has haunted me ever since. I don't talk about it as people judge quickly and won't believe. I used to live and work in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, at WalMart. I also worked at a popular bar/restaurant.

Needless to say, I worked a shift in the city until midnight at WalMart. The store was 4 city blocks from the residence where I was staying. If you have ever worked there you punch your SIN number into a computer at the back of the store. This starts your shift. I punched out after the shift and walked home. It was dark in the city but with the lights you could see very well.

I walked south 2 blocks and then cut through the parking lot. When I reached the sidewalk again, I noticed an eerie lack of light, took two steps, and heard a metallic sound. I looked around feeling strange and noticed the city lights were missing. I could not see the store. There was only blackness.

Then I heard a metallic cling twice from behind me. I spun around quickly to see an alien grey in colour with a triangular face, and black eyes. I was not panicked and said 'Hi.' The alien quickly shot out of its arm and touched me with a finger on my chest. I was not scared at this point. As the finger touched me there was a strong electric charge I could feel. This charge paralyzed me and I felt forced fear. Every nerve ending in my body reverberated with this shock. The fear I experienced did not come from me but felt forced, and it was 1000 times stiflerable than any I had ever endured. The fear was so intense that my heart pounded instantly. I had to focus quickly and steadily on slowing my pulse as I didn't think my heart could sustain my life otherwise.

The next thing I knew I woke up on a metallic rectangular table, with 6 seven to eight foot tall thin black beings standing around me. and oh my God, one had its hand inside me. It felt like it tore me apart. The pain I remember, and the forced fear are still there. I am paralyzed, trying desperately to move. The entity towering above me passed through my entire body. It felt like it tore me apart and put me back together, unimaginable pain. I blacked out. The next thing I know, I wake up. It's all black and I'm on a metallic floor. I hear clinging to the floor. I see 4 of these tall black entities. They kick me, hurting me more. I try to move but I'm still paralyzed, fear running through every nerve ending in my body. I can't fight it, it's almost electrical. I feel like I'm going to die here. I don't want to die here. No dear God no. I grow angry as I get beat. I look in my mind and struggle with all I have trying to move to do anything. I force a little movement, I raise an arm, but my body is still isn't cooperating. It takes everything I have but dammit I'm dying here fighting. The rest of me cannot move as I swing, and I hit one of the entities, causing the fear to become even stronger, and the paralysis to become even worse. My body becomes limp, trapped in my body scared and unable to get up, I black out.

The only thing I remember next is waking up in bed at home, trembling and convulsing uncontrollably, completely paralyzed and suffering the forced fear. I want to move, but I can't. The pain in my heart is unbearable. My heart beats like it's about to explode, my body feels like it's vibrating from my heart beating so fast. My focus is on preventing death with all I have. Slowing down my heart helps me calm it. I try to move, but it feels like 4 hours. God only knows. I'm still paralyzed, still in that damned fear. Finally I broke free.

I walk upstairs. My mom looks shocked to see me, explaining to me I was absent for 3 days. Thought I was at a friend's. In my mind I missed no time. I thought I had a nightmare. I told myself I had a dream. Not so lucky. I checked the computer at work and it showed I was there. No one at work recalls me being there. They told me I had missed my shift. I had no memory for 3 days, what has the power to do this? The only thing that proved I wasn't insane was the computer. My memory is absent for a day.

I saw that damnable thing again tonight. I loaded the guns and waited for daylight. I last saw it when I was 19, and I am now 36 years old. My memories of it used to be so awful that I'd remember pieces over the years. I would wake up paralyzed in sweat, and terrified. I fought the fear in my mind until I could remember and not enter into convulsions, still function and still move. I would have dismissed what I witnessed tonight but I've seen it before. No one believes, no one cares. Not sure why they came back, but I felt I needed to write this." ST

NOTE: I will continue to correspond with this experiencer. He is quite fearful that he may again suffer another abduction. If there are any updates, I will provide the information here. Lon
