A Reader Recalls Her UNEXPLAINED EXPERIENCES

A reader recalls several unexplained incidents that she has experienced throughout her life. Encounters with a glimmer man, unknown otherworldly entities, hauntings, etc.

"Hello, Lon. I really enjoy your site. You have an honesty about you, which I trust, and is the reason I'm sharing my experience with you. I'd like to request to remain anonymous, people would think I'm crazy and I already have enough on my plate in my life at this time. Why tell my experience then? Well, because I feel it might help someone else who may have experienced something like I did. I have 4 encounters to share with you. 3 happened where I currently reside.

I was working at a hospital at the time and went to walk my dog at about 4:30 in the morning. As I was coming down the stairs I happened to glance up and saw exactly what your friend saw in her backyard, for a split second I noticed something just like that in the 'Predator' movies. It moved towards the chain link fence surrounding the front yard, I KNOW what I saw and I KNEW "it" knew I had seen it, since I was going down the stairs, I didn't want to fall and had to look down and when I looked back up it was gone. I know within my soul what I saw and it seemed a little amazed/startled that I saw it although I got the strong sense it wasn't particularly friendly. The best way to say it was it seemed a little annoyed with me for actually seeing it like an adult would be if a child saw them doing something maybe they shouldn't have been doing. I continued to take my dog, walking towards where I had seen it. I wasn't afraid because somehow I knew it wasn't there anymore. My dog didn't notice it at all.

About the same time, maybe a few months later, I was walking out of work to take a break. The sun was just starting to rise, the sky went colors were light to dark blue and I happened to glance over to see a large airplane moving across the sky, in its path leaving an orange trail of exhaust. I remember thinking how pretty the dark blue, light blue, and orange colors looked in the sky. That's when I notice two UFOs by the plane. One was below it by the back end the other was above it almost in the middle but more towards the back end. Again I looked down for a split second and when I looked up again they were gone and the plane moved out of my range of view. They were both shaped like a short stack top hat, I was in awe that I saw this.

The next one happened when I was sleeping one night. I remember waking terrified, never experienced any terror like I felt that night. I could not open my eyes at all. I know all about sleep terrors from reading about them but don't believe this is what happened to me. I was panicking inside, full of horrible terror, and all of a sudden heard what I KNEW was two beings communicating with each other, in their language, which sounded like clicking noises of different degrees, but I could also understand them telepathically, and knew what they were saying. The one farther from me, who seemed like someone in a superior position to the one next to me, told it, 'She's awake.' I got the sense it was a little startled that I was awake and aware of them, then still terrified beyond words I just knew I had to wake up. I still couldn't open my eyes but was fully awake and aware, it was like being in two dimensions at once. I moved one arm against what I believed was their will, to my other arm so I could scratch my other arm as hard as I could to wake myself up but just couldn't. All this time I'm screaming in my head for my daughter in the next room to come out and help me. In my mind I'm screaming 'Help, help me wake up.' But I could hear myself quite clearly and was only moaning really loudly. Something told me to say the Lord's prayer, which is about the only Bible verse I know, and I did. All of a sudden I felt a sense of the most blissful eternal peace you could ever imagine, no words can even describe that sense of peace that came over me like a blanket. In an instant, I was in a very deep sleep.

I woke the next day holding on to that sense of peace for a few days. It was so intense but at night, before going to sleep for the next few days I slept with a knife under my pillow. I knew it couldn't have done anything to help me if they came back but it gave me a little piece of mind.

A few months later I woke up again, inside myself but unable to open my eyes. Same situation but this time I felt stronger and yelled/moaned really loud and my daughter woke up and came out and started shaking me. It felt like I was pulled "into" my apartment. It hasn't happened again, thank God!

The last happened when I was around 8, we lived in California. I was sitting in our living room playing with a new kitty, and across from the living room was our kitchen. I was the only one in the apartment at this time when all of a sudden, the kitchen light turned off and the kitchen door opened and closed, just like someone was leaving to go to the store for a minute. I was so scared I ran outside to stay with my sister's boyfriend. This apartment was supposedly haunted by a man who was stabbed and died in the living room, and nothing ever happened in the living room, only the hallway and kitchen. My mom, sister, her boyfriend, and two of their friends saw the face of a ghost in the hallway. Also at Christmas time, our tree stood right next to the hallway entrance and several times presents would fall over and ornaments would fly off the tree when no one was over in that area.

I tried to look up and find any information on someone dying in that apartment but couldn't find anything. I have also noticed that I sometimes have weird things happen when I'm around electricity, like lights being switched off, and streetlights will go off when I'm under them, hand-held electronics will go a little haywire when I use them. I read something about this and found it interesting. It doesn't happen all the time, just occasionally.

Well, I would like to thank you, in advance if you were able to read this email. I know it's long, but even if you're not able to, it just felt perfect writing this down and sharing all this with you. Remember, if you use this, then please do not use the city I stated about in the ghost encounter, or any identifying information about me. I trust you. Have a wonderful day Lon.

Sincerely, Anonymous

SASQUATCH & OTHER ANOMALIES Described by Rural Northeast Pennsylvania Resident (PHOTOS)

A northeast Pennsylvania retiree describes various anomalies, including Sasquatch and other creatures, that occurred on his rural property over the 25 years he lived there.

I recently received the following information:

"I'm a retired guy in his late 60s who lived in upper northeast Pennsylvania close to the New York border in an area known as the Endless Mountains (near Forkston Mountain in Wyoming County). I've lived there for 25 years. I moved south in 2020. My property was too large for one guy to care for because I lived alone. These beings let me know their presence only two days after moving in. I bought my acreage in the 1980s and then built the house later. I lived on a dirt road and had two neighbors, one on each side of me, both a quarter mile away. There's a pond and swamp 200 yards down from the house and on the other side of the pond is a small open area and the beginning of a rugged set of woods. There was a field on one side of the house and woods. Across the road was a small open area and a mile-long section of woods. That was their area, the Sasquatch people.

Of course, make no mistake, this was the wilderness and I lived alone. So I really didn't want any interactions with them, although they tried really hard to have it with me. I saw all the different wildlife there, including a bear hybrid, wild dogs, and a puma which I had on trail cam three times. I also had a backyard sighting after a few years of living there. I was able to get an old Jeep along with a tractor and brush cutter and proceeded to make Jeep trails on over 200 acres. The trails went through the woods, fields, and hills. It was not all my land but with the permission of the other landowners, I was able to make some awesome trails.

My first suspicions of weird stuff going on were when trees started being pushed down across the trails in various places. But it wasn't one tree, it was multiple trees being pushed down in the same spot. They were live trees, not rotten ones. In one section of the trail, over the years, it happened at least 10 to 12 times with a 20-foot section of trail and it would happen from one day to the next, with no wind or storms.

Fast forward to 2009 when my daughter and family flew in from Phoenix for a visit. Living in the desert, my grandson and granddaughter never saw the woods, so we wanted to hike into the woods about 100 yards down from the pond dam. My daughter was snapping pictures with a good quality digital camera while we descended down a ravine and we crossed over a small stream and up the other side. Suddenly, my seven-year-old grandson (who is autistic) took off through the woods running away from us. I go and chase him.

Enclosed are photos related to our walk. The first photo she took was on our descent down the ravine. She never noticed a small forest being standing down by the stream until she looked closely at the photo a few months later. The little guy was about 50 to 60 yards down from us just next to the creek. He looks only to be about two and a half feet tall. He looks partially cloaked. The second photo of him is through a filter. The other photo shows why I think my grandson took off running. He must have sensed or seen the shadow being or a cloaked forest being and got scared. That is not a smudge in the camera.

A few months after my daughter's visit I was cruising the trail alongside those same woods and as I was cruising by I saw a partially cloaked being in the same woods. It was much larger than the one in the photo. It looked like it was gliding through the woods, not bobbing up and down like we do when we walk. It was large and dark.

I retired in 2012 so I was spending all my time home and around the property. This is when all the crazy stuff started happening. In August 2012 I had a daylight UFO sighting through binoculars. It was in the evening after dinner and I was in my off-roader cruising around the pond. I saw this very large bright gold silent V-shaped craft in the sky. It was not a stealth jet or a triangular-shaped craft, but a V-shaped craft. I stopped the vehicle, grabbed my binoculars, and watched it until it went out of sight over the hill. A few days later I found two barefoot prints down on the pond dam. No human in the right mind would walk in that area barefoot. I could not stop thinking about the UFO and the possible connection. I had thoughts that Sasquatch was a really intelligent being.

About a week later I would make 2 wood knocks for five straight evenings just after it turned dark. I would go out on the front porch and swing it two times on the porch posts. It echoed really well. There were no replies. But, be careful what you wish for. That was the beginning for me.

A few days later I heard two knocks from the woods from across the dirt road. Then again the next day. That wasn't all that happened. I heard loud bizarre screaming sounds twice during the day coming from those same woods. I was the only one around during the day because the neighbors worked. To confirm what I heard my friend's 90-year-old mother, who lived under a mile away, heard the same scream on the same day. My friend is aware of these beings also. He had a sighting on his property and I heard of another sighting about half a mile away as well.

I was friendly with one of my other neighbors and he told me his sister was visiting for a week. While sitting on the back porch at night she heard a very loud knock coming from the woods below the house. The next day I went outside and heard a tree crashing down in the woods. I also told my other neighbor about these beings because he had two young kids and to never let them out and about at night. He snickered a bit but he knew I was serious and got the message. I also heard strange 'hoots' coming from the woods across from me in the middle of the day. It was not an owl. It went on for at least 10 minutes. I knew it had to be them.

One nice fall evening I was watching TV in my living room with the front windows open. Suddenly I heard very loud 'speaking' coming from the woods across the road. It overpowered the TV sound. It was just garbled speech and I couldn't understand a word. I jumped up and ran out onto the front porch, but saw nothing. It was all starting to creep me out, especially because I was living alone. I decided not to have interactions with them. I also had weird things going on in my house. I don't think it was a Sasquatch, I could be wrong. But it was frightening.

One morning during the spring of 2013 I noticed two 'gifts' left for me in the front yard. Here are photos of both (below).

My daughter was also aware of some of the activities. She took a photo of a Sasquatch that was about 100 feet or so from where she was standing (below).

There were so many unexplained things happening around there that I eventually decided to sell the property and move elsewhere. My daughter was also concerned for my safety.

I may later go into detail with you about the other activity and things I witnessed." K

NOTE: I was able to talk to the individual by telephone. I am passing this information on to a Phantoms & Monsters Fortean Research investigator. If or when we gather further evidence I will post a follow-up with this account. Lon

DEMON-LIKE ENTITY Becomes Part of Nederlander's Daily Life (SKETCH)

A Dutch experiencer claims that a demon-like entity enters his life during certain periods, especially when stress or dysfunction occurs. But his sister has seen it as well.

"I’m from the Netherlands and this happened to me. I hope someone can help me out because it has been haunting me for years now. When I was younger I always had this feeling someone was standing behind me and I saw black shadows every morning. I stopped seeing them and moved on until this happened.

One night I saw this figure in the middle of my room against the wall. It was very tall like 9 feet or something, very skinny (like you could see his ribs and spine) had grey/blackish skin. It had big black eyes and a lurking smile with sharp teeth. It had very long limbs (arms, legs, feet, hands) I remember it had a chain around its neck and it had little horns. It was very “slow”. At that time I was in an abusive relationship and I was very depressed.

It seemed to haunt me every time I got into a new relationship. If I brought my girlfriend home my behavior changed. I got grumpy and irritated and if she gave me love I got terrified (my whole body started to shake and talking was hard). When we broke up everything was fine again and I could leave it behind. After years I started dating again. But the minute I brought someone home it was like, 'Nope, this doesn’t feel right' and I got this overwhelming feeling again (even with friends sometimes). I tried to block this whole thing but it’s only possible if I stay alone.

My sister saw it standing on the stairs to my room one day. She described it the same as how I saw it that one time but it didn’t do anything. She said it just stood there. After a while, I met this girl. She said she was spiritual and locked it in a spell jar after I got a panic attack again. We broke up and it felt like something was missing. I saw the jar and immediately opened it. What could this be? That one time was the only time I saw it but I feel his presence now and then. It's like I could imagine it next to me.

I just hope someone can help. I’m not scared of it anymore because it’s harmless (so far as I know). It’s just still in my mind. I had multiple theories about what it could be, like a lost soul or something. Weirdly, it is quiet now. I do have a girlfriend at the moment. Sometimes I thought it was“protecting” me if that makes sense. My exes were very abusive and manipulative. My girlfriend now is very supportive and it’s just a healthy relationship and it is quiet." (sketch included) sp00kyjoey

Other commenters described their own experiences:

“Pretty much the same thing happened to me. Ditto on the toxic relationship at the time and pretty sure it was during one of my lowest points depression-wise. The only thing is this humanoid had a “Hamburg” type hat on and a long cape. It was standing over me during a sleep paralysis event and had both of its hands hovering over my chest like it was both trying to keep me from moving and also like stealing my soul. The figure’s fingers were extremely long, pale, and with sharp tips reminiscent of the Pale Man from Pan’s Labyrinth (didn’t really notice nails though, just pointy and long fingers). When I was finally able to move the thing just dissipated into the ceiling. Literally felt like a demon feeding off low vibrational/fearful frequencies.”

The next comment:

“I have seen something similar, where I grew up. (The countryside in Denmark). A tall figure, about 2 meters tall or more. Long skinny arms and legs. It didn't do anything, just stared at my buddy and me. A couple of weeks later, my sister and her boyfriend saw the same thing, not far from where I saw it. They were taking our dog for an evening walk, and suddenly it appeared about 30 meters from them. Again just staring. The dog began to whimper and flee with the tail between its legs, then ran home and locked the doors. About a week later, we found a mutilated deer on our farm. The abdomen was torn/ripped open, and the guts were all over the place. The biggest predators we have in this part of the country are foxes and badgers, and I don't think they can attack and do that to an adult deer. Shortly after my whole family moved. Some to another farm, others to a semi-large town. I am living in the town now, but I swear, sometimes I still see it in the dark.”

NOTE: I suppose that it is easy to simply say that this individual is experiencing mental breaks or using an entity to cope with hardships (possible tulpa or thoughtform manifestations). I wouldn't be able to assess the causes unless I had an actual conversation with him. Lon

SASQUATCH Freaks Out US Army Convoy Near Fort Carson, Colorado

A US Army convoy is traveling back to Fort Carson, Colorado when a Sasquatch walks out in front of the lead Bradley crew. All chaos breaks out and the entire base heard the melee on the radio.

"This encounter took place on Fort Carson, Colorado gunnery range in the fall of 1991. I grew up an Air Force brat who had been just about everywhere. I joined the US Army out of high school and I have my proud career to hang my hat on. That being said it's taken me many many years to have the guts to share this story. I have been haunted ever since. It still makes me shake to the core reliving that night.

Our squadron was out in the field preparing for the qualification of the M1 tank and Bradley fighting vehicle crews. We called this gunnery downrange Fort Carson a 'scrub brush.' which is an untouched landscape with a view of the Rocky Mountain front range that is simply beautiful. Towards the end of qualification, it is about 1 30 AM and the tank and Bradley crews were appearing to road march back to camp. The road back to camp was a well-groomed dirt road with very deep ditches on either side due to the heavy rainfall. Our team was back in the barracks awaiting the crews as we were to go to them if their vehicles had an issue or breakdowns. Nearly everyone in the barracks was laying on their cots either sleeping or playing Bones by the stove, as it was a chilly night.

The head NCO is playing Bones and listening to the radio traffic. He shouted out they were on their way back in. People start to stir and move around trying to wake up just in case they needed us. I was laying on the end of my cot with my feet on the floor. I had my beanie pulled down over my face to block the light. I was fully awake. The radio is directly across from me. Suddenly, over the radio, our CO gave orders to start the road march back to camp. The radio crackled and conversations began to take place. The first crews to road march back out were the Bradley fighting vehicle teams. The first Bradley had a ground guide out front. Everyone was wearing night vision goggles and they were using blackout lights to guide their way.

Without warning one of the drivers shouted, "Hey! What the hell is that? I know the voice came over the radio. I don't know another voice. We need to stop. We need to stop!" The CEO came over the radio and wanted to know what was going on up there. Another voice, "Sir, we need to stop." Just then I recognized our ExO telling the CEO, "We need to stop the convoy now, Sir!" Meanwhile, at the same time, everyone back in the barracks was now standing next to the radio and listening to what was going on, and staring at each other with amazement. The CO gave the order to the lead Bradley to come to a full stop and halt the convoy. Keep in mind, while all this was taking place, the first and second Bradley crews were staring at a bipedal dark figure standing on the road looking over his shoulder at them at about 50 feet away. I mentioned the deep ditches. It was said by several crew members that this figure stepped out of the ditch with ease and began to walk in the middle of the road in front of the convoy. This bipedal creature had no care in the world that the crews or the vehicles were there. It's just standing there.

By the time the CEO got to the front of the convoy to see what was going on, he had a hell of a mess on his hands. The radio chatter exploded into yells and f-bombs. People telling the ground guy to run and jump up on the top of the turret for safety. The ExO shouting to everyone over the radio to calm down and get their sh*t together. The first ground guide stated that in his night vision goggles when this creature stepped out of the ditch and onto the road the creature's eyes were glowing like green fire and standing before him. It was like having an out-of-body experience. The remaining crew had no idea what was going on up front. They could not really get a good look. But the first three Bradley's got to see everything. All the crews heard everything and in the third Bradley was the ExO. He was a former state trooper, a solid no BS kind of guy who was standing through the turret hatch. He saw everything.

As the CEO was making his way up the road to the front of the convoy the creature turned and calmly walked to the other side of the road and disappeared into the ditch. The CEO was met by the ExO and the ground guide who told him what had happened. You could hear the conversation going back and forth through the ground guide's mic. Tensions were high. Soon the convoy was underway again.

About 30 minutes later the door burst open in our barracks and the crews started pouring in. They're excited and shouting at us. "Did you hear what happened?" The first ground guide was pushed to the front of the crowd and was asked to tell us what had happened, in a military kind of way, if you know what I mean.

Suddenly the CEO came through the door. Someone yelled "Attention!" He made his way through the crowd to the center of the room and stated, "You didn't see anything. None of this happened. And if I hear of any chatter about it tonight you will answer to me. Do you understand?" Everyone yelled, "Yes sir!"

The next morning we're all spent from the night before. No one got any sleep and to make things worse in came the Blackhawks and men in suits with the base commander. They spoke to certain people and the incident was soon put behind us. The most common thread amongst the eyewitnesses was that the Sasquatch seemed to not really care about the chaos on the road that night. It never ran or seemed to be scared. The way it stood there and stared at them, eyes glowing, is what freaked everyone out."

Brazilian Witness Encounters BIZARRE 'SMOKY' HUMANOID

A Brazilian man was alone at night in an area near the forest that he was very familiar with. After a while hears footsteps and eventually sees a thick, smoky humanoid walking about aimlessly.

"I live in Germany now, but the incident took place in southern Brazil, in the state of Paraná in 2021. A brief summary of how I ended up in this situation. In 2020 I discovered I had cancer, so I had surgery, chemo, etc for a few months. I finished treatment in 2021, I was in the bath and felt something strange. The surgery site had ruptured after 5 months and was oozing pus and blood. I despaired.
My father has a quarry, with an open mine of about 120 meters in diameter and 20 meters deep. It is a place far from the city about 8 kilometers, in the middle of the woods, and with some family farms nearby. Well, I love the place and decided to go there to think about what to do. I was afraid to restart the treatment. Afraid that maybe the cancer had come back with a vengeance. There is the place where the crushing plant used to be, exactly where the trucks unloaded to the grinder. To take advantage of the force of gravity, it is located on the slope of a ravine about 30/40 meters high with an incredible view of the horizon.
I parked my truck there and lay on top of it and watched the shooting stars. I don't know exactly how many hours later but it should have been something like midnight, I hear footsteps slowly coming towards me. I was armed with a pistol but I left it inside and I was in the back of the truck. All I had was a piece of wood lying there. At that time I was scared of this being a criminal as we had problems with thieves stealing machine parts and parts. But this individual came right from the side of the cliff and it was impossible for anyone to walk up (I even went back to check it later). My second thought was that it was a jaguar. Because I had been lying down for a long time, whether I was a jaguar or a criminal, it might have thought that I had fallen asleep.
As the steps got closer I deduced that it was already on my side. I looked without moving my head and I didn't see anything that was the height of a person. So I jumped with the piece of wood and screamed because it had to be an animal. Then I saw something I'd never seen anything like it before, and I get goosebumps just writing about it. It was a human figure, completely dark brown. It had no eyes, no mouth, and no ears. It looked like thick smoke. It walked very clumsily as if twisting. When I jumped it still hadn't finished climbing. I froze. It finished the climb. It passed by my side, about a meter away. When I jumped up and screamed it did absolutely nothing! It passed by me and followed the opposite path I took to get there, left the road, and entered the forest.
I retrieved the gun from inside the truck. It walked for a while and came out again in the clearing. It started moving towards me. The night was very clear, with an almost full moon. When it got nearer as it came towards me, I started shooting. I shot 10 times. I remembered that I still had 12 rounds because when I arrived I fired a few shots. I landed all the shots as it approached. It didn't do anything, it didn't seem to hit anything. At that distance I never missed. Then it stopped and went back into the bush. The rest of the night it walked in a semi-circle about 50 meters from me, into the woods, out on the clearing, and into the woods on the other side.
When dawn came it entered the forest, and I could hear the footsteps in the distance. I grew up there, I know every inch of it. I'm 32 years old, my childhood and youth were spent walking around there, going into the forest. You've never seen anything like it. When I asked my father he just said that it wasn't good to go there alone at night because "there's something strange." He had come that early morning because they were looking for me since I had left without warning and left my cell phone at home. He figured I would be there."

BIGFOOT & CRYPTID CANINE PRINTS in Central Alabama - (PHOTOS)

This is a follow-up to my post - UPRIGHT CRYPTID FOOTPRINTS Discovered & Activity Experienced in Coosa County, Alabama. I'm adding a few other prints found in Coosa, Chilton, & Shelby Counties in Alabama.

During the past few years, we have been receiving reports of Bigfoot and cryptid canine activity in rural areas around Birmingham, Alabama (especially south of the city), as well as locations in northeast Alabama into Georgia & Tennessee.

I have received reports from cryptid investigator Brenon Meadows who lives south of Birmingham, Alabama in Chilton County. He is assisted by cryptid investigator Charles Henderson of Bessemer, Alabama. Bother Brenon & Charles are Phantoms & Monsters Fortean Research affiliates.

NOTE: We believe the majority of the prints are Bigfoot, both adult & juvenile. The print found from the previous post was most likely from an upright canine that is also known to inhabit the area. Below are links to previous reports. Lon

REPTILIAN PREDATOR & UFO Encountered at Sugar Grove, Illinois Quarry

A couple is fishing at a suburban quarry near Chicago when they encounter a reptile-like creature that is loudly roaring. The eyewitness returns the next day and observes a UFO.

I received the following account:

"My girlfriend and I were fishing at a stone quarry in Sugar Grove, Illinois on May 5, 1988, that was pretty much surrounded by cornfields and some small patches of light forest and shrubbery. The sun had just set and we were behind stone walls inside the small quarry so it was getting darker a little faster. On one side of the quarry the stone wall was elevated 40 feet, (that is the side we face while fishing) while the area behind us slowly rose to a cornfield edged by shrubbery and small trees. The edge of the trees and shrubbery is about 15 to 20 yards behind us.

We were sitting on the edge of the water contemplating packing up when all of a sudden we heard this very loud roar, and I mean loud. It made us both jump up instantly. It roared (howled) again. I could see the outline of a creature with a large head and large eyes. I grabbed my flashlight and shined it at the creature. It had very large greenish-orangish oval eyes. It roared again and you could see very large predator-like teeth. Then it moved through the trees and shrugs so fast we could not see it move until it was at its next destination. Then it roared again. It had a roar that was not like anything that lives on this planet, especially in Illinois. I can still mimic the sound that it made. It was very scary. The creature was at its closest 10 yards and maybe 50 yards at its furthest. The eyes reminded me of a large reptile.

The next day I went back with my friend to see if I could see anything or any signs of anything. I could not see anything such as tracks or broken limbs. Nothing.

My buddy and I started fishing. We were there about an hour when it started to get dark again. We packed up and started to walk up the short path to my Jeep when we both stopped in our tracks. Coming across the cornfield at treetop level was a craft. It had several lights on it and it had a large light that shined on us for a few seconds. Then it made a 45-degree turn and went out of the atmosphere in the blink of an eye.

The craft we saw did not have a sound. We were pretty much surrounded by the stone quarry. We could hear a pin drop on the other side but this craft did not have a sound." H

Odd NON-HUMAN COUPLE With Stroller in Park?

The eyewitness remembers encountering a very odd couple on two different occasions and at two entirely different locations. He is very confused by the interaction and the circumstances.

"I don't think they were human. This was an experience that happened when I was a kid, probably 10 years old in 2010. (I'm 22 now for reference). There used to be this park my dad would take me to here in Maryland. He would play basketball in the section where the courts were, and I would play in the section with the park equipment.

One day I was on a swing set, and this couple came up and started talking to me. There was a man and a woman with a black stroller (I don't think I ever saw a baby in the stroller. I remember it always being faced away from me.) This may have been a normal interaction, but something felt very off or dream-like about the encounter(s). I was even able to pick up on it at that age. The man in the couple was wearing blue jeans, and a red & white plaid/checkered shirt. But he looked odd. Like kind of clammy, pale, or jaundiced/gray. I also remember his eyes being very penetrating. The woman had on a dress and (I think) had medium-length brown hair. I can't remember her face, no matter how hard I try though. She looked more "normal" from what I remember. (The best way to describe the man's hair would be kind of blonde, ashen, and artificial-looking. In a sort of bowl-cut style I think)

I can't remember exactly what we talked about, but I think it revolved around God/religion, and it was a fairly short interaction, probably about 10 minutes. The weirder part is that I saw them later at a completely different park on a different date (could have been weeks or months), and they were in the exact same outfits with the exact same stroller. It looked like only 5 minutes had passed, but it was a completely different location at a different time. I can remember feeling apprehensive and "off" when I saw them again, Strangely, I can't remember if I talked to them or not a second time.

The last key to the story is that when I told my Dad about seeing this couple multiple times as a kid, he said that maybe they were "angels." I remember that comment intensely freaking me out for some reason.

Now, there could be a perfectly rational explanation for this, but more recently I've been doing more spiritual work and growth, as well as scientific (astrophysical/biological, quantum physics/theory, extra, etc.) research, and this memory resurfacing prompted me to share it. It's not the first time I recalled this happening, but it is the first time I feel like I could maybe get some explanation. I'd be happy to provide any more context about my life (if it's helpful) or the encounters if I can remember! It wasn't the sort of thing where they did anything really suspect I could tell my dad (or police) about. The man just didn't look human? Like the only way to describe it was he looked, like a wilted flower? An uncanny clammy human-wilted flower. That's the weird part.

I do remember sort of shuffling off toward the courts after talking to them. But the second time I can't remember if I approached them or not, which is strange. It's fuzzy, it sort of blips in and out. Both encounters felt sort of dream-like. I also usually have a good brain for remembering faces, but I can't really remember the lady's face (a good portion of the guy's in detail). Could certainly be chalked up to the fact that this was a while ago, but I still recognize people around my hometown from when I was that age. So I don't know. I just felt scared or off, like not quite right.

Even now it's the sort of thing where if I hadn't externally told my Dad, he didn't also physically notice them, I would doubt that it actually happened. I just remember feeling that was weird. Gave me a sort of a weird feeling, especially the second time I saw them."

Remarkable Experience! SASQUATCH PAIR HELP PUSH RV OUT OF THE MUD!

A couple is RVing in Plumas National Forest. They experience various incidents over two days, culminating in getting stuck in the mud and being helped out by a pair of Sasquatch!

"Last year, my husband Mike and I were boondocking in Plumas National Forest near the ghost town of Seneca, California. Our jobs give us the freedom to travel freely so we have crisscrossed the country camping mostly for free in various National Forests. Overall it has been a positive experience, this encounter being the exception. We try to stay in the National Forests as much as possible researching our next site for days sometimes making sure that it fits our needs. We love being able to wake up and see the scenery from our bedroom and the solitude.

When we reached the site it became clear that some changes had been made. The photos online showed a small clearing and the forest was more open beyond the site on the satellite view. But the trees were dense around the site. We double-checked our coordinates because it appeared the clearing was far larger than indicated with a very small road going in further. There is a fresh fire pit as well, something that wasn't in the photos and that shouldn't be there. The fire risk was high at that time. Even though it wasn't quite like we had envisioned we decided to stay. The extra openness would let us make better use of our solar panels but it didn't help our cell service. We had about a week's worth of water and fuel on board but we decided that five days would be our maximum. This would be long enough to justify fully setting up the RV and unpacking. We parked and leveled the RV and I got to work setting up the inside of our forest home.

I was finishing up when I heard a loud knock on the door. The sound startled me. We were alone when we pulled in and we didn't encounter any other drivers on the road, so there shouldn't have been any knocks on our door. I peered out the rear window of the RV and saw an older woman riding a horse with an angry look on her face waiting for me to answer. I hadn't seen any horse camps listed for the site but I thought that maybe she was from further in on the dirt road. Even so, there was enough room for a truck and trailer to get past us. I couldn't imagine why this angry rider was knocking on my door.

I opened the door and the woman skipped all the niceties and went straight to lecturing me about the fire pit. I assured her that we had seen the fire warnings and that we weren't the ones who built it. She started telling me that we were on her property and we don't belong here. I showed her the printout and explained that we were well within our rights to be there. She refused to listen and it was obvious she was trying to run us off the site. After I made it clear that we weren't going anywhere she raised her voice and started lecturing me about trespassers and people disrespecting the land. After a minute or two, she threatened to call the Rangers to remove us. I welcomed the idea and asked her to call since my phone barely had coverage. This seemed to upset her even more but instead of launching into another tirade she turned her horse around muttering under her breath and entered the forest on a small game trail on the side of the site.

As I watched her disappearance from the forest Mike came around from the other side of the RV laughing. He said he bet she wouldn't call the Ranger. We've been living the RV life long enough that we have become pros at handling people who try to chase us off. A few disrespectful RVers give the rest of us a bad name, leaving their garbage behind, violating parking, and being loud late at night.

By the time we were fed and cleaned up for the night, it was close to nine o'clock. The Ranger never showed up proving her threat was as hollow as Mike had thought. We fell fast asleep like we usually do but it didn't last long, near 10 pm, we were jolted awake by the loud roar of engines. I looked out the window while Mike got his bearings and was greeted at the site of several headlights pulling into the camp hauling ATVs and motorbikes in the beds of their trucks. I thought that this was maybe the angry horse woman's revenge but that idea was quickly wiped from my mind when I saw a man chug a beer and throw the can into the firepit.

Mike and I put our sandals on and stepped outside hoping that this rowdy group would realize they weren't alone here. But they didn't even acknowledge us. We stood there watching them drink beers and throw the cans on the ground, yelling and laughing loudly. One truck turned its radio up and the girls started dancing in the headlights. We stood there watching the scene of madness before heading back inside with the hope that after they get unloaded for the night that they would calm down.

Midnight rolled around and they were still partying out there. The walls of the RV didn't muffle any sounds The laughing, chattering, and crude jokes were perfectly clear in contrast to the quiet forest. We could hear the crackling of a roaring fire in the fire pit and Mike was concerned that this drunken group wasn't watching it. They weren't supposed to have any fires, especially not one that kept whooshing every time they threw something into it eliciting cheers from the group. We were two people dealing with at least a dozen people, mostly young men, so he didn't dare to confront them. Our phones barely had any service outside the RV and inside we had none, so calling the Ranger was out of the question.

By 2 am it was mostly quiet and we were nearly back to sleep ourselves when we heard the sound of something hitting the side of our RV. We both snapped back awake thinking we heard giggling. Something hit the RV again and this time we were certain that there was giggling. Mike jumped out of bed and stormed out of the door of the RV yelling at the perpetrators to knock it off. I stood at the doorway of the RV but there is nobody outside. The fire pit was abandoned with flames still reaching up off the logs. They didn't even douse the fire after they were done using it and now they dared to start throwing things at our RV. Upset didn't do justice to what Mike felt at that moment.

He came back inside but before he could get back to the bed something hit the RV. The giggling was louder this time and we could hear the footsteps behind the RV. Mike finally had enough he grabbed his headlamp and went outside to get the RV ready to go. He didn't want to be here a second longer than necessary. I tossed things onto the bed and in the sink, then got into the passenger seat. Mike stormed over to their side of the camp and grabbed two of their five-gallon water tanks and pour them onto the fire. He then grabbed two more for good measure and flooded the fire pit. Nobody protested him. Nobody even came out of the forest or looked out of their tents as he poured all but two of their water tanks on the fire. He left the empty tanks next to the fire, hopped into the driver's seat, and drove off.

We had seen another dirt road on our way to the site. We didn't know if it was a campsite but we didn't have the energy to get into an area where we had internet service to see if we could camp there. If a Ranger stopped by we would explain what happened at the last site. When we reached it it looked less used than our previous site. We pulled in. We drove in slowly for about 15 minutes and the tires started to lose their grip in a muddy spot. Mike backed the RV up and then moved onto the side with the firmer ground. It was a close call but the roads started gaining a little elevation and it was firm the rest of the way.

At about five minutes up the road, we found a spot that in the light from the headlights appeared to be about as big as the last site. Mike parked the RV and grabbed his flashlight as we took a walk around the site. There was no fire pit and tiny plants were pushing up through the dirt. The ground wasn't well-worn here. There was a teepee-like structure at the far edge of the clearing but it looked like it was falling apart. There was a faint funky odor in the air but we dismissed it, thinking it was probably stagnant water down the hill. We returned to the RV and went to sleep as fast as we could, tossing stuff off our bed.

We slept in the next morning catching up on lost sleep. When we finally crawled out of bed the sun was pretty high in the sky. We went through the routine of setting up the RV again, putting things back where they belong, and having a quick breakfast before exploring our surroundings. We went to inspect the teepee structure and in the daylight, it was clear that it wasn't falling apart. It was well-built but made to blend in with branches twisted and weaving between the logs. It looked like a hunting blind, especially because there was a bone pile about a yard away. Mike picked through it and declared it was mostly deer, but he didn't understand why they would process it out here rather than load it up in a truck.

As I was walking near the bone pile I noticed some tracks that clearly had toes, some large and some small, that had to have been made when the ground was muddy. They were crisp now that the ground had dried but because nobody would be walking barefoot out here in the rain I assumed they were bear tracks. I called Mike over and he agreed. We would keep an eye out because some of the tracks were large. We spent the rest of the day relaxing by the RV and enjoying the bird's chatter in the trees around us.

When nighttime came around we retreated to the inside of our RV. Our cell coverage was just as terrible at this site, so we did what work we could saving the uploading for when we were done camping at this spot. After dinner, we cleaned up and relaxed in bed reading our Kindles.

At around 9pm, we heard a painfully familiar commotion. Mike ran out the door and then stuck his head back in, his face confirming that it was indeed the same group. Mike came back inside and just listened and was shocked as they parked, drinking, laughing, and yelling like before. As we were sitting on our bed discussing our options we saw a bright light come in through our window. We looked out the window and saw they had lit the teepee on fire. The structure wasn't in the trees but this bonfire was too close for comfort. The girls were dancing around the bonfire gyrating to a hip-hop song blaring out of someone's truck. I looked at Mike horrified they had to have poured fuel to get the bonfire to light that quickly.

We decided to leave and call the authorities as soon as we were able to. We hurried up and got the RV ready to hit the road. I started the engine and waited for Mike to do a final safety check. Once he was finished he hopped into the driver's seat and we were off. As we reached the first slick spot at the bottom of the hill the tires started sliding. Mike tried backing up but the tires just turned. I jumped out of the RV to see if there were any firm spots but I found that the ground was a mud pit the trucks must have torn up the ground on their way in. I tried gathering twigs and pine needles to help him get traction. I tried using the chalk blocks to give the wheel something to push against but it didn't work. We were stuck. Mike was tired and understandably angry so it took some time to convince him that we should probably ask the party people to help us out of this predicament in the morning. We could hear them partying from the bottom of the hill but it wasn't so bad that we were unable to sleep. Mike and I crawled into bed to wait for morning to come and we managed to fall asleep

It was midnight when the sound of people woke us up. We could hear guys yelling and girls screaming from the campsite. I opened the little rear window of the RV and I could see that the top of the hill was bright and headlights started coming down the road. Mike ran out the door to wave down the trucks as they flew down the road barely squeezing by us. None of them stopped and we didn't know what had scared them out of the campsite. I told Mike that they must have started a forest fire and they were trying to avoid getting caught. A look of fear crossed his eyes. Our RV was stuck and if a fire came down the hill our chances of survival were slim.

We went outside and started grabbing any loose debris we could to try and get some traction. Pine needles, pine cones, and small branches went into the mud pit. Mike returned to the driver's seat and put it in reverse while I stuffed more branches into the wheel tracks. Mike lightly stepped on the gas giving the RV a chance to grip. When it barely moved Mike had me go to the rear axle of the RV and jump while he rocked it between forward and reverse. I bounced for about 10 seconds then stopped and then started bouncing again. After several rounds of bouncing, I stopped but the RV didn't stop. Mike called back to me and asked how I was getting the RV to move so much. I let him know that I wasn't moving.

Suddenly the gentle movements turned violent, shaking hard enough that we could hear things crashing against each other in the cabinets. I looked out the front window and it appeared that the RV was moving forward. Mike's knuckles were white gripping the steering wheel. He asked if I thought it was an earthquake but I couldn't see the trees moving out the windshield. I turned around and looked out the back window of the RV and I saw what appeared to be brown hair. I opened the rear driver's side window curtain and there was a massive hairy creature with a smaller one standing along the road. They were both standing on two legs. My view was broken when the RV jolted forward and I fell back onto the bed. I could hear Mike stuttering to talk from the driver's seat of the RV and a grunting sound from the back. On a forward rock, he gently stepped on the gas and the RV slowly moved forward. when the wheels seemed to gain traction he stepped harder on the gas and the RV lurched forward, pulling out of the mud. As soon as the tires held firm he accelerated down the road putting space between us and the hairy creatures.

I crawled my way up to the passenger seat bouncing into the air a couple of times as Mike flew down the dirt road. Once I was buckled in I tried talking to Mike but he didn't utter a word until we reached the main road. When he did start talking he only wanted to talk about getting a hold of the authorities. I wanted to confirm with him what I saw but he just shook his head. He kept speeding down the road, hands, and jaw clenched. I knew he saw them but he wasn't ready to talk about it. The only thing he would say about the matter was that he knew those people weren't running from a fire.

When we reached the point of the road where we could pull off, he parked the RV for the night. Our phone said no service. We didn't know where the Ranger Station was and it was late. Mike thought that by parking along the road it would attract the attention of any law enforcement driving by. If not we would drive until we found cell service and call them in the morning. We crawled into bed and Mike fell asleep first. His sweaty twitchy body gave evidence of a nightmare next to me in the cold RV.

I've never been so happy to hear the raucous noises of Stellar's Jays outside. Their harsh call let me know that the sun was rising. I made my way to the bathroom and was about to get settled in when I heard a loud knock at the door. I could hear Mike's feet patting across the floor to the door and I was right behind him. He opened the door and we were greeted by a Ranger asking why we had parked along the road. Mike explained the events of the last two nights omitting the event of the mud pit and our encounter with the angry horsewoman. The Ranger confirmed that the woman had called to report us so he had been up to both sites that morning to do a check. The first sight had trash and the used fire pit but the second scene he described at the other campsite confirmed that something had scared the rowdy group out. The ranger had seen the charred remains of the bonfire but there were also ripped tents, overturned water coolers, sleeping bags, and other camping gear strewn around the campsite. He said it looked like bears had ransacked the site.

After assuring him the gear wasn't ours he warned us not to camp on the shoulder before getting back into his truck to head back up the hill. We hustled through our morning routine making ourselves presentable with the hope of finding a cafe in town along Highway 70. When we went outside to do our safety checks. We reach the back of the RV and Mike's hands touched two indents spread far apart in the back of the RV that wasn't there before. He shuddered before heading to the driver's seat to test the tail lights. After everything was clear I started towards the front of the RV but paused as a small SUV came to a stop next to me. The driver was the angry horsewoman and she had tears in her eyes. She rolled down her window and said, 'What did you do to my baby's home?' She then drove away."

NOTE: This is one of the wildest accounts that I have ever read! Lon
