Ozarks Hunter Deeply Regrets SHOOTING BIGFOOT

An Arkansas Ozarks hunter is in the woods where he and his father once hunted together. He encounters a Bigfoot, then shoots the creature. Afterward, a rush of emotions and guilt flood over him.

The following account was recently forwarded to me by an associate:

"It was the weekend before Thanksgiving and Lee was camping in the Ozark National Forest in Arkansas trying to get a deer for Thanksgiving in the freezer. It was an annual tradition for Lee to venture into the same woods he hunted with his dad every year before he died. These woods were where his dad taught him to leave no trace, to respect the sacred place, and to always give thanks when it gave up its gifts. Going without his dad this year didn't feel right, but his wife encouraged him to keep the tradition.

Lee finished up his sandwich, cleaned up camp, grabbed his gear, and started walking into the woods. The leaves crunched under his feet and the sweet smell of forest decay and moist dirt was in the air. Reaching his favorite clearing alongside a creek didn't take too long. He set his pack down and started checking the game trails leading to the clearing from the forest deciding which way he would go next. Once he made up his mind, he returned to his pack, pulled out an apple, and left it on the rock in the center of the clearing before heading down the game trail.

He remembered the first time he went hunting with his dad and saw him leave a pile of apples. It was always Arkansas black apples from their tree back at home his dad told him that when the forest gives you a gift it's only fitting to leave a gift as well. It felt mystical as a child but now that Lee was a grown man he believed that apples were like his dad's lucky pair of hunting underwear. His dad was very successful hunting deer, and always seemed to show up near him. So he decided to keep the tradition, at least the apple part. His dad took his lucky underwear to the grave.

Lee started chuckling as he walked along the creek when he recalled the horrified look on the mortician's face when he handed her the lucky underwear they were patched with many pieces of fabric over the years, often flowery remnants of his sister's dresses. His dad may have been a mountain man but he was buried with roses on his rear end. His chuckle had turned to a laugh when suddenly a red fox ran past him and a rock landed on the ground in front of him rolling forward on the ground. He gripped his rifle tighter as he turned around to confront whoever threw the rock. He couldn't see anyone nearby so he lifted his rifle to his shoulder and started looking in the direction the rock had come from through his scope.

Near the entrance to the clearing, partially behind the large oak, was a large figure. A little scared but mostly angry Lee yelled "Hey" at the figure. The figure stepped out from behind the tree and Lee realized what he was looking at. In his sight was a creature standing on two legs covered in shaggy brown hair. It was clearly a male and had broad massive shoulders that led to a head with tiny neck in between. He could see the creature's eyes blinking through the scope. He was sure he wasn't looking at a human, but he still asks "Why'd you do that?" The creature bellowed a strange roar louder and different than any noise he had ever heard in these woods before. Lee's hands were shaking as he watched the creature through his scope. The thought came to his mind "This is your chance." He tried to be a good provider for his family but there was usually more month left than paycheck. If he shot this creature he was guaranteed a payday. There had even been a TV show offering a huge bounty for just a little proof. A body would be worth more. They could replace his wife's death trap of a car, college savings for the kids, and fewer trips to the thrift store. Just one shot and they would finally have their heads above water.

His father's reminders about only taking what you need whisper in his mind. Lee took a deep breath, whispered I need this aim center mass, and pulled the trigger. The creature grunted and screamed as it grabbed at its side. He could see the blood dripping between its fingers as it turned and ran. The creature wasn't running very fast but it maintained its distance from Lee. It crossed over a river and climbed up the limestone cliff running along the river, climbing into the mouth of a bluff shelter. Lee knew he would be at a disadvantage if he tried to climb up to the bluff shelter but he couldn't see into the shelter from his location on the ground. He backed up and watched the creature in the shelter through his scope. It was too far away to take a second shot so he stayed there observing the creature's actions. Lee could see the creature leaning against the side of the shelter taking deep breaths. If the creature died there the body would be safe,

He had been watching for about 10 minutes through his scope when he noticed a gray figure at the creature's side. He could see gray arms moving as the wounded creature was gesturing toward the wound area. The gray figure put its hand down on the wound and the creature screamed in pain. Lee felt a twinge of guilt, feeling sorry for the pain the wounded creature was suffering. "Oh God, why didn't I get a clean shot," he thought. The wounded creature sat down and put its back against the shelter wall. From the opposite side of the shelter, he saw another dark figure approach the wounded creature and fall to its knees. It rested its hands on the wounded one's legs. Its lips move as if talking. It stood back up and turned around as a small figure ran up to it. It leaned down to pick up the smaller figure and Lee could see pendulous breasts hanging. He realized this was a female, a mother.

Lee lowered his gun trembling with the realization of what he had done. I shot the father. I may have killed this little one's father. Guilt washed over him. He would never do anything illegal to help his family financially but he couldn't shake the feeling that what he had done was akin to murder. This mother was picking up her child just like his wife picked up theirs. This mother appeared concerned about the wounded creature just like his wife would be. If they had no shaggy hair someone might even confuse them with humans. I'm a murderer. What was I thinking? He dropped to his knees.

Lee looked back up through his scope and saw the wounded one standing up again. A mass of leaves where the wound was. The mother was cradling the young one's head on her shoulder. Both were looking down at him. Emotions overwhelmed him as tears ran down his face. He knew his dad was looking down on him too. He set his gun down and put his face in his hands. He was no better of a man than a poacher. He cried until the tears wouldn't come anymore, then stood up. When he looked up at the bluff shelter there was nothing there. He lifted his rifle back up and looked through the scope. Nothing. He scanned the rest of the area along the limestone cliff and river but the family was gone.

He lowered his gun and turned away walking back the way he came. He knew he had made one of the biggest mistakes of his life but he also couldn't shake the idea that this was just a bad dream. He walked back to the clearing where he had left the apple on the rock. Even from the clearing he could see the white flesh exposed against the deep redskin of the apple. A single bite was missing and there was a trail of blood near the rock. He walked out of the woods sick knowing that what had happened was real.

Lee would return to these woods every year unarmed with a pile of Arkansas black apples and an apology. Wildlife would dart through the clearing past him but he refused to hunt at this location anymore. He had violated the trust his dad had built and he wanted to build it back for his own kids. Lee didn't know for certain if his dad knew about these creatures existing but Lee had a feeling he did. His dad's patchwork flowery lucky underwear would always be a mystery, but he finally understood the importance of his dad's gift of apples."

Berry-Picker's MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCE After Reporting 'WEIRD CREATURE'

A man was hired to pick berries in Salla, Lapland, Finland. He later called his employer to report an unknown weird creature that was following him. There was no further contact or trace of the victim.

"Hey, Lon. I thought you might be interested in this mysterious account. Back in mid-2014, a Thai man working in Salla, Lapland, Finland as a berry picker was waiting for a lift back to his apartment. He called his contact and during this conversation, he stated, "Something weird is following me, it's like a dog or something." After this, despite being afraid of the weird creature, he hung up and immediately his cell phone was switched off either because he ran out of battery or he turned it off.

After this, the man disappeared without a trace. Police stated they haven't found any tracks whatsoever from the area he disappeared from, human or animal-like. Despite this happening, police announced a few weeks later that they were stopping all efforts to find the man except by starting an "official investigation?" The man in charge of the operation first made a statement that this is a total mystery but later stated that it is an animal attack and nothing else, almost wanting everyone to lose their attention to the story and calling back all the search parties from the area. The parties were mainly made up of Finnish military and police personnel and just a few of co-workers were allowed to contribute to the search despite knowing the man and speaking his language.

Later they were all called back to work and for the last few days, it seems to have been strictly a military/police operation. They found a berry bucket and intact clothes identified as belonging to the man at the scene but the police quickly announced that they had been brought there by the man's co-workers which seems a bit odd. Why didn't they just hand them over to officials instead of taking them into the deep forest and just leaving them there? They found no trace of the man, no blood, no tracks, nothing. No one has any clue what could have happened to the man.

The particular area has some bears and wolves but bears usually tend to avoid humans instead of following them and wolves hunt in packs. So what was this weird creature he saw and why did he hang up the phone call despite being afraid of this creature? The only specs of this creature are "a large, dog-like dark animal." There is no information on whether it was bipedal or not.

The Finland national broadcast network YLE (then owned by the Finnish state with a 99.98% share) has removed all stories related to the case from its website. Finnish media have been very quiet about this except for tabloids which are rather strange because our country is so small that even small events make it to national news.

Now this could be just an animal attack but it's really a strange one if it is. For example, ending the phone call to his Finnish contact person who is from the area and is familiar with the local fauna, and the heavy military presence, removing the information from the news, and ending the search in just a few days. Also, the description of the creature does not make any sense, or the lack of tracks. The only logical options for a large dark creature in that area are a bear and maybe a moose and as I stated before bears don't attack people often. I personally can't remember any cases. In all the cases involving bears, the bear stumbled upon someone and then left the scene very quickly.

If there is any more information or possible remains or tracks found, I will let you know." V

NOTE: In a recent update, the missing man, or any trace of him, has never been found. Here is an interesting site that details the wild berries & mushrooms found in the boreal forests of Finland. Any thoughts? Lon

'CHICAGO MOTHMAN' - THE BIZARRE INDIANA CONNECTION - Home Entry & Kidnapping - Lon Strickler (Host)

Welcome to Phantoms & Monsters 'Personal Reports' - cryptid & unexplained accounts directly from the archives of Phantoms & Monsters, and the Phantoms & Monster Fortean Research team. Narrated by Lon Strickler. Join us in the chat, discuss, and ask me questions about the accounts.
Featured in this edition:
Beginning in early 2019, the wing humanoid phenomenon was entering into a wider scope. Indiana has always had a knack for providing interesting cryptid reports, and we were about to learn about a history of remarkable winged humanoid encounters throughout the state. One of these accounts involves a home entry and child kidnapping! This presentation will examine each of these reports.
The winged humanoid was first dubbed the 'Chicago Phantom,' but the media and the internet preferred the moniker 'Chicago Mothman.'
I will describe these incidents and others in detail and answer all questions from the chat room.

What is a 'DEVIL MONKEY?'

What is a 'Devil Monkey?' Every once in a while, I see the term pop up on social media and in eyewitness reports. It seems to be a vague moniker used to describe a variety of cryptids.

On January 12, 2006, the witness walked into his home to find a devil-like creature confronting his 6-year-old labrador dog. This creature seemed to be an unusual combination of a monkey, a dog, and the devil. Suddenly, it sprang to its hind legs and ran, nearly pushing us over to get to the open door I had just come through. This creature had long fangs, a monkey-like tail, and extremely bright glowing eyes.

In another report, An Ohio woman driving through Roanoke, Virginia at about 2:30 a.m. reported a similar encounter in the late 1990s while driving on a dark road at night and forced to take a detour due to road construction. She had driven past a road sign that read, "Red Wolf Crossing" close to Elizabeth City when a creature, which was not a wolf, leaped in front of her car.

The creature was all black with very short sleek fur, pointy ears, and a long thin tail. She described it as catlike, and yet not like any cat she had ever seen. The snout was flatter than a dog's and more like a cat's. The creature was very tall because she saw it when it was standing on its hind legs and was easily 6 feet tall. She indicated its torso looked very much like that of a very thin man and its head resembled a large monkey but with a pointy beard. However, the creature's hind legs were like a wild cat or dog. It was very muscular and thin.

Later, the woman checked with the US Game and Wildlife Department who told her there were no black wolves in the area but suggested she had seen a feral dog (feral meaning "wild") or a wolf-dog hybrid. But the woman was emphatic it was not a wolf or dog.

The woman explained the creature may have been on all fours just before leaping. The creature leaped with such force and height that it only took one bound to make it across both lanes of the highway. This indicates the creature leaped more than 18 feet or 6 meters to get across the road. Dogs and wolves do not leap this far in one jump. Even larger animals such as deer usually take several bounds to leap across a road.

According to Cryptid Wiki:

Sightings of mysterious primate-like creatures have been reported across the United States since the 1930s fully-haired. “Devil Monkeys” are described as similar to baboons, but larger, faster, and meaner.

They are described as three to eight feet tall, walking on all fours or upright, with large feet, fully-haired bodies, and a monkey or dog-like face. Cryptozoologists have confirmed that the Devil Monkey is indeed a distinct creature, different than its mythical cousins, the Chupacabra and Bigfoot.

NOTE: The information was forwarded to me a few years ago by a friend who has been collecting reports of what he describes as a 'Devil Monkey'. These descriptions were somewhat different than most other primate cryptids. In at least one instance, this creature killed and fed on dogs and cats but did not bother livestock.

Most of the sightings occur in the remote parts of the Appalachian Mountains, in particular, Virginia & Pennsylvania. Lon

Does Pennsylvania's Lake Monster 'RAYSTOWN RAY' Actually Exist?

About a dozen years ago sightings of 'Raystown Ray' had been known throughout the cryptid world. Since that time, there have been very few, if any, reports. Is 'Raystown Ray' real?

"I was referred to you by a friend. Can you advise or direct me to someone who can explain what I witnessed?

On August 29, 2009, I was fishing from a boat with my son on Raystown Lake, Pa. It was around 6:45 pm and we were making our way back to the landing. We were near the Snydertown portion of the lake where there is a point of land.

As we were heading south, I looked toward the west shore after my son started to point at something. I really have NO idea what this thing was but it looked like a large, thick black snake with a huge head that bobbed in and out of the water. I moved a little bit closer but my son was getting scared, so I cut the motor and looked through my binoculars. The body was moving in coils or humps up and down in the water. The creature had no fins like a fish and the head was diamond-shaped. The weirdest feature was that the eyes (which were dark, somewhat small, and slanted) were not set on the side of the head, but placed forward. I got an excellent look through the binoculars (I'd say it was about 50 yards from us) when it raised up, its head moved side to side. It made no sound. I'd say it was at least 20 feet long.

I have lived in Altoona, Pa for only a few years and this is only the second time I have fished this lake. I'm from Wisconsin and have fished many large lakes and rivers but I have never seen anything this big.

We watched for about 2-3 minutes until it slipped under the surface. My son's description was very similar to mine but he said he noticed lighter-colored 'whiskers' or rays on the chin and face while looking through the binoculars. I had tried to take a photo with my cell phone but it just blended in with the water and was not discernible.

This is nuts! My friends think we saw a large fish or mammal, but there is no way it's either. Please give me some guidance or resources to help identify this. I am skeptical of monsters, ghosts, UFOs, etc., and don't buy into much of what people describe on TV. But, now that I have seen something that I can't explain. let's say I'm confused and frustrated." Thanks, Bill

A 2017 TOURIST PHOTO OF THE ALLEGED LAKE MONSTER 'RAYSTOWN RAY'

NOTE: I had fished this very lake years ago (excellent striped bass fishing!). I knew that there were some reports of a 'monster' sighted there a while back but have not heard anything lately.

Raystown Lake is a very deep water man-made lake located in Huntingdon County, Pa., east of Altoona, Pa., and south of State College, Pa. I emailed back to the witness 'Bill.' He seems to be very sincere about this sighting. He stated that he reported it to another paranormal site but didn't get a response. I had a few questions for 'Bill' so I sent him an email asking him to attach the photos he took with his cellphone. I wanted to see for myself what he meant by 'but it just blended in with the water and was not discernible.'

He forwarded 2 photos that I examined. Since he and his son were on the same level as the creature there was a dark background of the trees as well as some glare coming off the water. I tried to enhance the photos, but there was just nothing with any definition though I could make out some disturbance on the surface of the water. There wasn't much more information that he could offer, but I certainly believe he and his son witnessed something unusual. Lon

UNKNOWN CREATURE Observed, Feeling of Dread, on Rural Alabama Road

Possibly a cryptid-type creature my friend and I saw on a drive on January 14, 2023, in rural Alabama. Other circumstances include being followed by a white truck and feeling of dread.

Me and my friend Cas decided to go on a drive about an hour ago because there was a spot I'd been looking at going to at night because it was secluded and a good spot to smoke in general. Around when we started talking about it he noted that he started smelling something sweet, cherries, and a hint of cigar. I was familiar with this entity as it's been around my room since I moved in back in 2020. It's not a malevolent entity and is actually quite kind. Cas stated that it felt like he'd been hugged and just overall felt comfortable with the entity around him.

So we go on the drive and we're talking and all and we turn down the last road until the destination when I saw a tree down in the road. It didn't block the road completely but it was too narrow of a gap for my car to fit. Well, I knew a back road that led to the same destination so we turned around and headed down that way. It was a very wooded backroad; no service, very few houses for miles and surrounded by trees. It was the type of road to only have one lane because of how unused it is.

As I'm driving we're talking and we pass over a bridge. I point it out as a spot I wanted to take him another time since it's just a neat area. Not long after we passed it, he said "Did you see that?" It's a very curvy road so I initially assumed it was an animal as I hadn't seen anything. I asked what he saw and he said, "It looked like something that crossed the road." Immediately I got an intense feeling of dread. I asked if he felt it too and he confirmed that he did so I stopped the car, took a moment, and immediately said "We're not supposed to be here." He agreed and I turned around, heading back to where we just came.

The dread got more intense but after crossing the bridge it eased but was still there. I stated that whatever it was isn't allowed to follow us home and it wasn't allowed on my property. It started to disappear and we kept seeing things along the road like shadows.

As I was driving to the main road a white truck pulled up very fast to a stop sign on a side road almost as if out of thin air and pulled out behind us. I didn't take much note of it until I looked in my rearview and saw it tailing the hell out of us. I pointed it out and Cas said he didn't like the feeling he got from the truck. We got to the stop sign that lead out to the main road and I purposefully didn't turn my blinker on in case it was following us, but the truck did and it was turning the same way as us.

After I made the turn I waited a few moments before looking back in the rearview and it was gone. It disappeared into thin air. The drive home was silent and Cas waited until we got back to talk about things he knew and should've thought of before we even got in the car. I was telling the story to a friend over Discord and asked Cas to describe the thing he saw on the road, asking if it walked on two legs or four. He said:

"It didn't have legs. It was brown and looked like a head that just crossed the road." Asking him about it now he said that it was tall, taller than the doorframe of my closet and he saw it from a distance so he didn't know what its body looked like. I asked if it could've been a bat and he emphasized that it couldn't have been. During the drive home, we both noted that it felt like there was a hand on each of our shoulders. He pointed out that the log in the road could've been a sign, not to go, as well as the friendly entity that appeared in my room beforehand. I'm thinking it's a certain W-word entity (names hold power and I will not refer to it by name.) This happened in Alabama."

'CHICAGO MOTHMAN' - THE BIZARRE INDIANA CONNECTION - Home Entry & Kidnapping - Lon Strickler (Host)

Welcome to Phantoms & Monsters 'Personal Reports' - cryptid & unexplained accounts directly from the archives of Phantoms & Monsters, and the Phantoms & Monster Fortean Research team. Narrated by Lon Strickler. Join us in the chat, discuss, and ask me questions about the accounts.
Featured in this edition:
Beginning in early 2019, the wing humanoid phenomenon was entering into a wider scope. Indiana has always had a knack for providing interesting cryptid reports, and we were about to learn about a history of remarkable winged humanoid encounters throughout the state. One of these accounts involves a home entry and child kidnapping! This presentation will examine each of these reports.
The winged humanoid was first dubbed the 'Chicago Phantom,' but the media and the internet preferred the moniker 'Chicago Mothman.'
I will describe these incidents and others in detail and answer all questions from the chat room.

'MANTIS ALIEN' EXPERIENCER Offers Personal Phenomenon Opinions & Conclusions

This is my life story and my experience with these beings: both physical interactions and mainly, via lucid dreaming. I mention a few conclusions/opinions, derived from these experiences. I might well be wrong about them though.
- I grew up in Epirus, Greece. I saw a UFO around 1989, at 7pm, as a teenager. I was with my school friend at the time, walking in our small town, and she saw it too. The UFO was silently hovering above my "religious studies" high school teacher's house. He had a 4-year-old kid at the time. My guess (based on what I know now about them): it was there for the kid. After it disappeared from our view, I "felt" the UFO flying above us, and saw it with the corner of my eye. Upon direct look, I couldn't see anything. A bunch of other teenage kids saw the ufo that night too and reported it to the police. I confronted one of the kids a few days later at school, and he refused to talk about it.
- Fast forward to 2000. I was living in Guildford, Surrey, UK, working as a programmer. I was renting a room at some lady's house. I was sleeping, and the door was locked from the inside. I wake up to at least 2 Greys on my bed. When they realized that I was fully awake, one of the two used a "rod" on the back of my head, which put me back to sleep as if nothing was happening. In the morning I woke up and was sore and in pain. The pain lasted for days. I got PTSD from that experience, it took me months to get over it. Soon after, I started having health problems. My celiac wasn't properly diagnosed for another 10 years after that. The illness eventually left me childless due to various complications from it.
- May 2013, on my 40th birthday, Bay Area, USA. A friend started talking about DMT, and wanted to tell him to "get off drugs". I was very anti-drug, but I thought, "Why don't I first research the damn thing before I open my mouth and sound like a fool?". My research on the topic opened the floodgates of information and soon after I was lucid dreaming (I've never taken DMT btw). I met my "higher self" that called himself Heva, and later on my "spirit guide", who called herself Esther (for all I know, they could be the same alien, role-playing for my convenience). It didn't take me too long to figure out that I was dealing with a Mantis alien instead.
- The first time I met Heva, he had an iPad-like device where all my metrics were written in it. From physical to psychological evaluations. When I was trying to take a look at it, two voices from invisible people were heard, telling Heva to stop, because I might not be ready. Heva said I was ready.
- From 2013 to 2018 I would suddenly have a whole bunch of lucid dreams, as much as 2-3 times a week. These guys opened the floodgates for me. They would put me on various VR tests (that are dreams, but they score you at the end), and they would talk to me about retrocausality and other such things. One time, I refused to play along, and the dream abruptly stopped, and I found myself in the Void. Two higher-ups appear and start questioning why I don't participate. Esther promises me that it would be good for me to do so. I agreed. The dream RESTARTS from the beginning, as if it was a computer program.
- In another lucid dream, Esther was angry at me (showing me on an iPad-like device that I should have promised to do, but didn't do), so she dropped her pretenses, and looked like the Mantis she is. In fact, in that lucid dream, she hit me near the liver, got in pain, and when I was awake, the pain continued.
- Esther would tell me about the future 3 times. Two times was bang on (e.g. in 2014 she told me that my business Instagram account was to be hacked, and it did so 2 days later out of the blue), and the third time it was half-right. She stressed that the future is ever-changing, and our decisions do make up the future, so a decision can change a prediction. That third time, she correctly predicted the exact date something specific would happen, which IT DID happen when she said so, but she didn't know the outcome, because that was depending on my actions.
- That third time put a huge strain on our relationship, because it was about something important for me, but she was not allowed to help further, e.g. to advise me. I obviously messed it up. That pissed me off, and while I don't have a conscious recollection of it, I'm pretty sure that I raised hell. My lucid dreaming stopped abruptly in March 2018. They closed the door. It now only happens 2-3 times a year, when she wants to tell me something important.
- One week before that third prediction was to happen, the Greys revisited me. I have the conscious memory of bringing me back only. I couldn't move, but I managed to move my arm with great effort and told them that I'm not scared of them anymore, and to let me move. To no avail, since they just put me back to sleep. Buggers.
- The last time I talked to Esther, she told me that I need to "take care of Star", and that "it was a gift to beat my loneliness". I had no idea what she meant. A week later, I get a new neighbor, named Star, who is also an artist like me, and we became close friends.
Some of the stuff I was directly told, or figured out during that time:
* The Mantis are often seen wearing a purple cloak, and a medallion. I asked them about it, and they said the medallion is actually a device and not a status symbol. They consider themselves "neutral" (or at least, they strive about it). for the Mantis is the so-called spirit guides people experience in-between lives and take care of reincarnations. According to Michael Newton Ph.D.'s book "Journey Souls", the spirit guides have a purple aura and wear a medallion. This was written before the Mantis aliens became as known as they are today (and even today, most people only see Greys).
* In other words: UFOs are not "people from other planets" per se. I have surmised that the phenomenon is a control AND support system for reincarnation. The planet belongs to them, and we are renting the place while we incarnate here. They are behind social engineering via religious creation and folk myths. They are driving our evolution via intellectual, social, and of course, genetic methods. Please note, that despite speaking about reincarnation here, I still consider myself an atheist. I don't see reincarnation as a religious thing, but rather, a system that can happen either naturally, or with technology (lately, I lean on the latter).
* The Mantis is the most common alien seen on DMT, Ayahuasca, and mushrooms (called "insectoids" in the psychedelic parlor). When I asked a Mantis (not Esther) why it's usually them we bump into in hyperspace, he replied: "We intersect".
* Abductions happen mostly in the astral (aka, a fourth spatial dimension where time and consciousness are more interweaving than in 3D). I believe that 100% of humans get "abducted" over time. Physical abductions are extremely rare and of the well-known genetic kind usually. But the rest of the people are also interacting with aliens, it's just that they don't realize it because these experiences are masked as dreams. In these interactions, the incarnated person usually undergoes tests or gets advice from their guides.
* In one of my astral "abductions", I was dreaming a normal dream, but a tooth was hurting me in a weird way inside the dream. I managed to wake up inside the dream, only to see a Grey above me drilling. It quickly placed me back in the dream. They basically serve VR experiences while they're doing work on you, in addition to screen memories.
* Many people have experienced a grid in the sky, around the Earth. Easily seen under mushrooms or LSD, but some have seen it sober. I experienced it in one of my lucid dreams. I've been told that the grid is artificial and it operates via AI. It has a dual function: to manage humans who might have astral projects or even lucid dreams by mistake and to stop other races from interfering. The grid is what people on DMT call "the waiting room". The AI decides if one is ready to experience hyperspace or not. It is a control system. I haven't decided yet if this is a good thing or a bad thing. It might interfere with our ability to evolve in the astral as well as in the physical.
* In another lucid dream, I was outside a US military facility, and couldn't enter. The more I'd push to enter, the more I would be pushed back, gently, as if I was trying to walk through a sponge. An entity next to me told me that I can't enter because the US now has the technology to repel consciousness from remote viewing.
* I know that there are a lot of people who say that the Greys have no souls etc, but I'm not sure if that's correct or not. When asked, the Greys have said "We are you". It is my understanding that the Greys are the next step of human souls in their evolutionary process. Grey artificial cloned bodies ARE powered by souls, not AI (unless of course, our souls are just glorified AI too). After we are done incarnating on Earth, then it's our turn to serve the souls that are still incarnate. I believe that that's the Greys' function. In service of us, foot soldiers for the Mantis and the overall system.
* Why have this whole industrial re-incarnation operation going on (several planets that is, not just Earth)? It is my understanding and my speculation that in the dimension that we and they come from (5D), there is no causality. There is no time between before and after. Everything happens at the same time, there is only the Eternal Now. That's the physics of their dimension. To create change ("a future") for their dimensional reality, they must create change first in the third and fourth dimensions (the free will changes propagate naturally since we're part of the same universe). Hence the 3D incarnations (humans), and the 4D support system ("aliens"). Notice how the "elders" speak to the incarnating souls in NDEs or in in-between-lives hypnosis sessions: "You are creator beings, and you have a mission to do on Earth". As for the Mantis, they call our incarnations "our duty". In other words, we're agents of change, for everyone's benefit. We're workers. The elders set a plan regarding the future they want to experience, and then they send us to realize it. Via it, we evolve. You could call all this, symbiotic. Or, you could call this prison. It's probably a point of view. Or, this could be way off, I don't know. The end game is something they don't want to share with clarity.

UPDATE: COSMIC UFO RECORDED - Blue Mountains, NSW, Australia (VIDEO)

In the late afternoon on the 14th of January 2023, photographer D. Cook captured a short video of a UFO appearing in the skies over the vicinity of Leura/Katoomba in the Blue Mountains of New South Wales, Australia.

UPDATE:

The report was submitted to MUFON with the original footage - February 2023

3rd May 2023 - I was contacted by MUFON, and the investigator on my case.

I was asked to expand on a few questions, which I answered and sent them back.

5th May 2023 - I was contacted again and the email read:

"I had our video analyst look at the video and we are unable to identify what the object is, but data we have collected indicates that this was a physical object producing shadows and showing a different granular consistency than the clouds around it."

Further feedback was received 12on th May 2023

(quote from MUFON analysis)

"The sun appears to be above the object slightly to the right and toward the photographer. There is a shadow below and to the left. The AI artifact and noise removal show a bubble-like appearance. The cloud looks yellow and grainy while the orb-like object has a different consistency which supports it being physical in nature.

The photo analysis shows the object to be rectangular in shape where seconds earlier it was a bubble. It appears to me we have a physical object that reflects light." 

----

Below is the original report:

I received the following narrative & video from my friend, remote viewing colleague, and photographer D. Cook:

The 14-second video, shows a bright round object appearing from the left-hand side of the screen, moving, and blinking in a straight line before an extended ‘glow up’, and the object accelerating away and disappearing into the distant skies as the video ends. 
The photographer explains that the capture happened when taking a series of videos for an upcoming public experimental UFO Project being conducted by Farsight Remote Viewing Institute. 
“I was experimenting with location and camera settings and found a spot I thought looked like a contender. The light was behind me, I steadied the camera and started shooting. The slow-motion capture setting only allowed a limited short time video before automatically ceasing, so I kept pressing record again when each video finished”. 
“I didn’t even know I had captured anything on the video. At the time, I didn’t see anything in the viewfinder. I was just taking a series of slow-motion video segments, consecutively one after another, to try to capture anything unusual in the sky”. 
“It wasn’t until reviewing the footage a short time after, I realized what I had filmed. I examined it many times before I was convinced there really was something there. I had been feeling optimistic before filming and had hopeful expectations, but what I captured seemed like a gift”. 
“Following on from that feeling of realization, my next thought was don’t drop the camera, don’t accidentally delete anything!”
“It wasn’t the first time I had tried to film the skies hoping that a UFO might appear. Some afternoons, if the light was optimal and there was a clear sky and very little cloud coverage, I would go and take footage and experiment. Up until then, I had only filmed some nice afternoon skies”. 
“I’ve learned to be patient when trying to get any photography related to Paranormal content, UFOs, or High strangeness. It can be years between, and many different cameras later before something special appears in the lens. I’m really appreciative of this latest footage I managed to get. It’s an amazing and humbling feeling. Maybe one day I’ll be in the right place at the right time and photograph a Yowie. Until then I’ll keep my camera pointed to the skies and keep shooting and hoping”.

After researching a bit further into the type of UFO in the footage, it seems that this UAP is defined in a recent research paper published by the Main Astronomical Observatory of Ukraine’s National Academy of Science titled “Unidentified area Phenomena I. Observations of events,” https://arxiv.org/pdf/2208.11215.pdf 
Quote: - According to our data, there are two types of UAP, which we conventionally call: (1) Cosmics (COS), and (2) Phantoms (PHA). We note that Cosmics are luminous objects, brighter than the background of the sky. We call them names of birds (swift, falcon, eagle). Phantoms are dark objects, with a contrast, according to our data, from 50% to several percent. Both types of UAPs exhibit extremely high movement speeds. Their detection is a difficult experimental problem. They are a by-product of our main astronomical work, daytime observations of meteors and space intrusions.

4-FOOT UPRIGHT 'RODENT-LIKE' CRYPTID Observed in Garrett County, Maryland

A western Maryland eyewitness describes her encounter with a 4-foot upright rodent-like creature that she observed digging through trash late at night while driving home.

"Hello, Lon. Early morning, December 16, 2009, at approximately 1:30 AM, I witnessed a weird creature as I drove home from a holiday party. I live in western Maryland a few miles outside of Grantsville, MD (Garrett County). The sighting occurred only 1 mile from my house. I was completely sober since I cannot drink alcohol for medical reasons. As well, I was not tired since I had slept several hours before I went to the party. I was alone, though I had given a friend a ride to her home. I was traveling at the posted speed limit, maybe a bit less since I always watch for wildlife crossing the road after dark.

I slowed down because there appeared to be an animal digging in some trash next to the right sight of the road. It was 20 feet or so from my car. I slowed down to get a better look and noticed that the creature was too tall (upright) and bulky to be any animal that I have ever seen locally. I'd say about 4 ft. tall and about 80 lbs. It was dark gray in color with long straight, coarse hair. Then it turned and stared at me with its large eyes set forward on its face that appeared bright red in the headlight. The paws were very unusual, almost like human hands with long fingers. It acted surprised that I was there but remained motionless staring back at me. The face was shaped a lot like a large rat but had a flat face. I didn't notice a tail.

After several seconds it crouched down on all fours and scampered off in a long gait toward the woods nearby. I decided not to chase after it since I had a bad feeling about this thing. I told a police officer friend who told me that there was a similar sighting the winter before after a homeowner witnessed it feeding on a deer in their backyard. He said that I should file a report with state wildlife officials but I wanted to see if anyone could suggest an identity of the creature before I file the report.

Thanks for your site. I hope you can post this. I'll watch for opinions." D

NOTE: I received this report several years ago, but I have not received any inquiries as to what this may have been. I reported for some feedback. Thanks. Lon

Unknown WINGED DARK-EYED CREATURE Encountered in San Marcos, California

A San Marcos, California witness describes an encounter with a large bird-like winged creature with large dark eyes that hovered and then moved at a supernatural speed. 

"Sir. I had an encounter that I did make a report on but have never received any inquiries. Since your readers send you their experiences maybe there is a chance someone has seen something similar.

The encounter occurred on July 6, 2005, at about 11:30 pm. I had a long day in San Diego then afterward went to the beach at Del Mar, CA for some surf fishing. I arrived at my home in San Marcos at about 11:00 pm. After cleaning my fish and showering, I was very tired. I went out to my carport for a smoke and a look at the night sky. I looked north, thinking about a recent UFO sighting and wondering what it was all about. In the distance, at a couple hundred feet, I saw a faintly visible moving object that flitted from side to side. Whatever it was, it reflected light from the streetlights. Its side-to-side movement was so quick, I couldn't tell if it was one object or two. The object then zipped directly over my neighbor's house across the street. By this time, I was certain I'd never seen anything like it. It continued to move side to side, in a space of approximately 50 feet. It then stopped and I observed it more clearly.

It may have had big "eyes" and wing-like appendages and was probably 2 to 3 feet in width. It remained still and I could see wavering reflections from its "wings" which were not beating like a bird but showed shimmering reflections from the streetlights. I felt the hair on my head rise all the way down my back to my ankles! It appeared to be looking at me, as I smoked my cigarette. I felt threatened, and said out loud, "I see you!" Then it went from stationary to out of sight, right over my head in an instant. I came out from under my covered carport and turned to follow its movement. Immediately, it zipped into view directly above my head, obviously studying me! I could see really weird large and intensely dark "eyes." It seemed surprised by my looking right at it. It didn't like being seen. My apprehension rose even higher. It turned away and disappeared like a shot.

It had a bird-like shape but was thicker. My impression was of reflections of the streetlights on wing-like appendages, and big dark eyes!

It wasn't a bird, bat,, or any familiar nocturnal creature. Its movements did not seem explicable in comparison to any creature that flies by beating its wings. The hills and mountains are so rugged and inaccessible near my home, that anything could remain hidden and make nighttime forays at will. I read about "Thunderbirds" but I'm not sure if this was one of these." SM

HUGE CRYPTID 'RACCOON', Possible DOGMAN, Encountered in North-Central Indiana

A group of teens is exploring a wooded area north of Indianapolis, Indiana when they encounter a Great Dane-sized creature that had markings similar to a raccoon.

"This happened 9 years ago in the early spring when I was 15 years old (Spring 2014). I was at a friend's house in corn country about an hour north of Indianapolis. Nowadays I am very familiar with the paranormal/unexplained having multiple shared experiences with friends, but at the time I was a major skeptic. I didn't fully process what we saw until years later.

I came over to my friend's house to hang out like any other time. I brought my pellet gun (he had one as well) so we could shoot some moles on his farm property. After a while, his brother joined us and we eventually got bored of looking for moles. There was a patch of woods about the size of 2 football fields a little over a mile away completely surrounded by empty cornfields with no access points from the nearby road. The three of us decided to walk out there because why not? We were bored kids looking for fun. We put on some boots and headed out with our pellet guns.

The walk wasn't super far but it took us a while to reach the woods because all the spring rain from earlier in the week made the empty field a big mud pit. So muddy your foot disappears with each step. Then right as we walked through the brush surrounding the edge of the woods we saw it. The best way I can describe this thing is it was a raccoon that was built like a Great Dane. We had seen coyotes and wolves before and this was not that. It 100% looked like the biggest raccoon we had ever seen. We could tell we caught it off guard because it was just standing there on all fours grooming itself and then it immediately locked eyes with us when one of us pointed at it and said, "Look at that thing!" There were a couple of seconds where we just looked at it as it looked back at us before it quickly turned around and scaled a 60ft tree. We lost sight of it in the canopy. We then looked at each other and were like "WTF was that?"

We talked about how the way it climbed the tree was what freaked us out the most. It only took a few strides up the tree using its front two paws to grab a spot on the tree to lift and launch itself up the tree. The arms were freakishly long and lanky looking when it climbed. It honestly looked somewhat human in the way it articulated its arms as it climbed. Like its elbows jutted out to the sides as it pulled itself up. We talked about how freaky that was some more and decided to keep looking around because even though we were spooked, it was intriguing and we wanted to see if there was any other freaky stuff around. There definitely was.

The woods were littered with easily over 100 animal carcasses/bone piles. Most of them were cows, raccoons, and opossums. There was one spot (maybe 25x25ft) that had at least a dozen cow carcasses ranging from just the bone left to one that looked less than a week old. They were definitely being eaten by something with huge chunks of flesh missing. I know cows get loose all the time but damn if this didn't look like a feeding spot. My theory is this thing was stealing cows from local farms for food, there are a couple within 5 miles.

We also found a man-made small pond near the middle of the woods, which couldn't have been more than 6 feet wide. A shovel and plastic bucket was sitting next to it. Once we found that were pretty freaked out again and decided we better head back because we had less than two hours of daylight left and there was a lot of thick deep mud to slowly walk through to get back.

That's pretty much it. At the time it freaked me out a bit but looking back now, knowing what skinwalkers are, I'm just happy we came back completely unscathed. Unfortunately, I don't hang out with those guys anymore and I tried to go back with some different friends somewhat recently only to see that the woods had been cleared out and there was nothing there. I thought I was tripping out but I looked on Google Earth and I could see in its place was dirt and log piles. Probably an omen to not chase this thing, I'll take it at face value.

I haven’t heard of the dogman but this thing didn’t look like a dog/coyote at all. I just used Great Dane as a size comparison as it was freakishly large to be looking like a raccoon. Yes, it had a striped tail like a raccoon. It had the face of a raccoon, specifically the large black spots around its eyes. Stubby almost rounded ears like a raccoon. It had bushy fur like a raccoon. We saw it very clearly with no obstructions from about 30-40 feet away. It was early spring and the brush inside the canopy was still dead."

NOTE: Probably not a skinwalker. Most likely a cryptid canine of some sort. The location (north of Indianapolis, Indiana) has had cryptid canine reports, so I'm assuming that this may be an example of one. Your thoughts? Lon
