Unexplained FIRE ENTITY OR DEMON Recorded in Sonora, Mexico

One late evening in September 2021, an unnamed man was walking home in Sonora, Mexico, when he spotted what appeared to be a fire raging between the side of a home and a car parked in its driveway. He took out his cell phone and began filming. What he captured next is truly amazing.

Seemingly from the right-hand side, a dark figure becomes visible in the flames. Slowly the figure, all black, about the size of a small child and with a slightly larger-than-average head, begins to walk through the flames. At one point it stops, moves back, and then carries on. It appears to be unhurt and not reacting at all to the flames, which is impossible if it were a human or animal. It eventually passes through and can be stepping out the other side, its legs, torso, and upper body briefly visible. According to the man filming, the figure seemed to vanish afterward as nothing emerged out the other side of the vehicle.

The footage was featured on an episode of Paranormal Caught on Camera on November 20, 2022. Lynne S. McNeill, professor of Folklore at Utah State University, and one of the hosts of the show, noted that it was, “Truly mind-bending.” Another host, Mark Screuman, found it “totally bizarre,” adding, “We know no human can walk through a fire like that and survive.”Mark Moran wondered if it was merely a “trick of the eye.” He thought maybe it was just a child standing in front of the flames though he could not explain its movements. “It doesn't behave the way a child would in such close proximity to a roaring fire. I think most people would be a little more cautious not to get burned.” Host Brian Cano had probably the most out-there theory on what it could be: “Wouldn't it be strange if this creature was there the entire time invisible and whatever caused the fire caused it to reveal itself, perhaps caused it to become visible. The flames, in some way, interacted with its molecules to literally char it so that the human eye can detect it.”

Possible GUARDIAN ANGEL Aids Traveler Chased Through the Nevada Desert

A man is traveling through the Nevada desert when a car starts chasing him. He is forced to pull over because of a flat tire. Then something happens that seems to be the act of a Guardian Angel.

The following account was forwarded to me:

"I have a story that goes back to the early 1970s. I'm from Lynwood, Washington. I was traveling across Nevada from Idaho down to California. And it was early in the morning and I was outside of Winnemucca, Nevada about 5:30 or 6:00 AM. I was by myself. It was out in the desert area and it was virtually uninhabited. A car came up behind me with two inhabitants who basically started following right on my bumper. I became concerned because it was apparent that they were really interested in getting me stopped. They would pull up alongside and motion me over and things like that. I was afraid.

So, as we went along, this played out for several miles and they kept motioning for me to pull over and they came up alongside and I became quite fearful. Well, the oddest thing happened. Somehow, I was getting a flat right front tire as I could feel the car start to sway. I pulled up to a stop and off to the right was a house. These people pulled up in the car and stopped behind me. I didn't know what to do. I was afraid to get out and somebody came out of the house to a pick-up (truck) that was running. And now this was the only house in the area. There was no other house around.

And the older man walked out and he looked and one of the people in the car pointed to this guy and they went ahead and pulled on by me and took off. So I got out and I looked at the man and he was doing something around the pick-up. So I went ahead and got my tire out and changed it and went on my way. Well, it made me quite fearful.

On the way back from California, on the way back to Idaho, I looked for this place. I wanted to stop because it left such a mark on me psychologically. I found the place. It was totally uninhabited. Absolutely abandoned. No windows. No doors. Just an old shack. I honestly feel that something kept me from being harmed. Something chased these two guys away. Was it a Guardian Angel looking over me? That is what happened.” C

Wyoming Ranchers SHOOT HUGE BIGFOOT While Moving Cattle

A group of ranchers was moving cattle in the Bighorn National Forest when they notice a huge Bigfoot watching them from the woods. One of the ranchers shot at it and apparently hit it.

The following was recently forwarded to me:

"I and 2 other guys were moving cattle from the eastern side of Bighorn National Forest, Wyoming. We got up early one morning and started working just as dawn was breaking. At one point, 3 of us saw this tall, thick creature standing along the forest edge watching us. One guy took 3 shots at it about 50 yards away with a 30/30,. It screamed and we heard others crashing in the bush.

We got our things together quickly as I wanted to lead our horses away from the wood line to give ourselves an edge in case we got charged. We would have more time to act and our feet would be on the ground in case of an attack moving south along the edge of the forest. We could occasionally hear something moving along with us. We turned east heading for the town and found a group of hunters camped out. So I decided to make camp with them. I felt like I had to tell the guide what was up. I didn’t want to bring any problems to their camp but I felt like I didn’t have much of a choice.

That night we sat and listened to something a ways off just whaling for hours. Thankfully the guide had no problem helping us and most of all he was glad we told him nothing happened that night.

The guy who shot at the thing quit as soon as we got back and we never heard from him again. I will say I feel if we hadn’t found a hunting party we would have had a fight on our hands. That was in 1979 and I’ll never forget the sounds these things make." MM

Eyewitness Fears EVIL DARK UFO Was Harbinger of Later Misfortune

A man is night fishing in a rowboat in northern Minnesota when a dark cloud-like UFO approaches. The encounter terrified the witness. He believes that it may have been a harbinger of later misfortune.

“I had the most frightening encounter while fishing on a lake in northern Minnesota in a row boat. Late one night I saw something appear above the tree line at the end of the bay. It was cold and it had a weird shape. Then it dropped down above the water and flew directly over my head at UFO speed and stopped. Not knowing what it was, I just glanced up and saw a pure evil mass hovering above my head. I got a feeling of dread as soon as I made eye contact and thought my life was over.

Several things went through my mind. That second I thought maybe I was about to be abducted even though I’d never heard of UFOs looking like a black cloud and that the only thing that I could do to save myself was to pray to god and I did. It hovered for about 20 seconds and then flew off exactly the same way it flew out. This was also seen by a friend from shore having a smoke out on his dock, looking for me.

As soon as it left, I frantically paddled my way back to shore, looking back thinking that it could return. Words can't explain the level of terror that I had that night. It was pure evil and still haunts me to this day. Just not knowing what it was still bothers me because what I saw that night doesn't exist in our world but it was real. My friend and I sat at the kitchen table asking each other what that was. Nothing comes to mind that's what's so troubling.

This changed my life forever. I never go outdoors at night by myself anymore, worrying that it might return. After that night, I went through some of the hardest times of my life. Strings of bad luck. I ended up getting fired at work and lost my house and also had heart issues and nearly lost my life. This all happened after that night. It was like an attachment.

I still look up to the sky whenever I’m out at night fearing it might return. All I know is that whatever it was, it had to have come from a different dimension because what I saw that night just doesn't exist in our world. I'd only glanced at it for a few seconds but that was enough to know it was pure evil because when you're not a religious person and you think the only thing that can save you at that moment is to pray to god, then you know you're scared. It looked like a black cloud moving... like it was alive. It was about 20 feet by maybe 15 feet wide. I had my two dogs with me that night and they were so scared they were trying to hide under my legs. When this happened, they were so scared they jumped out of the boats when we got close to shore. So I landed in my muck up to my knees and couldn't get to shore fast enough. When I ran up to the cabin, the door was locked so I pounded on the door until he opened it. Not knowing my friend had seen it from the dock, I came in with mud up to my knees and he didn't even notice. That's when I noticed his hands were trembling from fear so I asked him what was wrong, before even telling him of my encounter. He told me what he saw from the dock it was exactly what I had seen hovering over my head. We spent the rest of the night drinking at the table trying to make sense of what had happened but couldn't come up with explanations. 

Since that night he won't ever spend any time at his cabin anymore and you couldn't pay me enough money to ever return.”

FLYING WINGED MONKEY Reported in Jacksonville, Florida Suburb

A reader swears that they observed a small monkey with large wings flying away after passing it on a suburban street near Jacksonville, Florida. What did he and his passenger see?

Received in May 2017 from a reader near Jacksonville, Florida:

“This is going to sound totally unbelievable but I swear I saw something like a flying monkey last night. I was driving on a neighborhood street and this strange animal was on the roadway. I could see its head and it looked like a monkey to me but it was small like the size of a prairie dog or gopher. I kept saying "what is that?" I drove around it as it would not move (possibly dazed by my headlights). My friend thought it was a possum until we passed it and we both said "that wasn't a possum." I quickly turned around and all I saw were huge wings (way too big for that animal) flying away.

Now obviously I said, that had to be an owl or whatever it was just got snatched up by a giant owl. The problem is that this thing had a head and a neck and it was standing on two feet leaning forward staring right at the car and didn't move.

I am so confused as to what I saw even though I was so close to it. I mean I see owls all the time, big ones too. I know what they look like. That thing in the road, if it was an owl, was a mutant owl. Even if I admit it was probably an owl, its wings were still far too big for its size. I have no idea what I saw but I swear it looked like a small monkey to me.

I live in Florida and although I live near Jacksonville (northeast Florida), in south Florida, there was a Walmart that had monkeys living in the parking lot due to owners letting them escape. So, it is possible that it was an escaped tiny monkey although extremely unlikely. But wings? The whole thing was so confusing." RA

NOTE: I never did like those damn flying monkeys in 'The Wizard of Oz.' They used to freak me out as a kid. So folks, what did the reader witness? Lon

MEN IN BLACK VISIT Prompts Request to Remove NUFORC Alien Entity Report

A report to NUFORC referenced an encounter with a dark humanoid with an orange glow. After a visit from 2 Men in Black, the woman immediately files an addendum to the NUFORC report.

Back in 2015, I received a telephone call from a man in Texas, who wished to remain anonymous (though I have his personal information). He states that he is a relative of the woman who submitted the following report to NUFORC in 2009 (which I searched for on the site):

-----

Occurred : 12/5/2009 16:00 (Entered as : 12/05/2009 16:00)

Reported: 12/6/2009 10:05:58 AM 10:05

Posted: 12/12/2009

Location: Hugo (southeast OK), OK

Shape: Unknown

Duration:10 seconds

Dark human-like figure that was glowing orange around it and floating.

I was sitting on the living room couch talking with my husband and my 8-year-old son was in the front yard. I saw flickers of an orange glow reflecting off of a box on the porch, through the living room window.

I opened the door to see what it was when I saw my son standing past the end of the east side of the house, staring at the porch. I asked him what he was doing and what was going on. He walked quickly over to me and proceeded to tell me what he saw. He was crying and shaking and very scared. He said he saw a dark figure with really big, dark eyes, with an orange glow all around it. He said it looked like it was floating just a little off of the ground, came from behind my car and went next to the house, and turned and looked at him. He said it then floated higher and was about the height of the Christmas lights hanging on the porch. He said it looked at him. He slightly turned his head and closed his eyes briefly because he was scared. When he looked back it was gone.

He said whatever he saw was about as tall as he is (about 4 feet). He said he couldn’t see its legs and its arms appeared to be straight down beside its body. He said its face was very dark and its eyes were really big and a slightly different color than the face. He said it glowed all around it. I estimate he was 40 to 50 feet from the entity, given where he was and where he said he saw it. I was during the daytime, at approximately 4:00 p.m. I saw the flickering orange glow for about 3 seconds and my son saw it for about 10 seconds.

We live in a wooded area, have dogs in the back, and they did not bark at all. However, when I called my husband out to tell him what happened and to look for it, my small house dog came out and immediately started smelling the ground where my son said the entity had been floating.

I am of sound mind, I have never seen or heard of anything like this before, and I am very curious and somewhat confused about what happened.

(NUFORC Note: We spoke via telephone with this witness, and she seemed sincere, and sober-minded, in our opinion. PD)

Then the following addendum was added to the report:

Mr. Davenport, I am requesting that my submission on (12/6/09) regarding my son's observation of an orange, a glowing, dark figure (on 12/5/09) be removed, or not be posted. I have reason to believe that his apparent experience may not be accurate. Again, please do not post the report that was made regarding his "experience." After questioning him further, it may have simply been the sun shining in his eyes or something. Thank you.

-----

The relative of the woman who filed the report (who I believe was a brother) told me that a few days after the report was filed, 2 men dressed in black suits arrived at the woman's residence driving a black full-size car (he believes it was a 2000 Ford Crown Victoria). This relative happened to be at the woman's residence when the men arrived.

It was approximately 2:00 pm local time and they knocked on the back door. The woman answered the door and they introduced themselves as investigators for the state of Oklahoma. They quickly flashed identification and asked to speak with the woman who made the report. The relative was sitting at the kitchen table and heard the conversation. The 2 men refused to come inside and wanted the woman to come out onto the porch. The relative looked out the side window and noticed the vehicle.

After 5 minutes or so, the woman came back into the house and was visibly upset. Without saying a word, she immediately went online on the family computer. The relative asked her several times what had occurred, but she refused to talk by simply saying 'wait.' The relative sat in the living room watching the woman on the computer.

A while later, she shut down the computer and sat next to the relative. She explained that the 2 men asked her what her son had seen. After telling them about the encounter, they 'requested' that she 'withdrawal the report ASAP' and to 'forget the incident.' She was still very shaken and explained that the men just acted 'weird.' The man who talked sounded like he was reading from a script. She asked the relative to go to her son's school and pick him up instead of letting him take the bus home. When the relative and her son got home, the woman was sitting at the kitchen table reading the Bible. She told the boy not to ever talk about what had happened.

As far as the relative knows, there was no further contact by anyone else. Several strange incidents occurred at the residence over the years, including a UFO that hovered over the house and was witnessed by the entire household. It was never reported. The family moved to another state in 2014.

There was one more aspect to this account that was interesting, but I'm not sure if it applies. The boy who witnessed the 'entity' has had severe mental issues since the encounter, but the relative refused to go into detail. He only mentioned it because the boy's mother believes that the incident was to be blamed for the boy's problems.

Honestly, I'm not sure what to think about this information. The relative sounded sincere, but it didn't sit right with me for some unknown reason. After these many years, I still have not come up with a complete answer to this incident. Lon

Bizarre Six 'MIRROR MEN' Encountered in Small Town at Night

Just like a scene from 'The Twilight Zone,' a group of teen girls were driving around their small town late at night and encountered six 'Mirror Men.' An odd phenomenon that is rarely reported.

Please note...Derek Hayes at the 'Monsters Among Us Podcast' was the first to truly lock down the phrase Mirror Men Phenomenon, after a number of callers to his show described seeing the same type of entity (or entities). Typically the Mirror Men are described as coming in threes and moving in unison so perfectly that it appears one is looking into a mirror. I've not heard of a case involving six together, so this is a new one for me. 

“My story took place around 1993-94. I was 18 years old and living in a small town in southern Utah. Living in a small town, we need small-town things to entertain ourselves. One of the few but popular options among the high school population was to drag main. It consisted of driving from the end of Main Street to the other end, trying to link up with friends or meet new ones preferably in a car full of cute boys.

Main Street was barely a half mile. I believe there are only two stoplights. My red Subaru hatchback was loaded full of my friends - more girls than seat belts. We had taken several drags down Main and struck out, so we decided to detour off the beaten path. There's a good chance we had Salt N' Peppa or George Michael album blaring from the factory speaker and peach Schnapps concealed in our soda cups which could have easily been our deterrent but we were determined to make a connection so we left Main Street behind. We had two options. First drive through the town cemetery to a story of the devoted cat that comes and sits on her owner's grave every night since she died, a story everyone in town has heard a million times now. It's become a rite of passage - you drive slowly through the graveyard and if you turn your lights on, this particular headstone just right looks like the silhouette of a cat. Newcomers gasp. The rest of us pretend to. Like I said, small-town entertainment. Or there is a second option, cruise the college streets, the heartbeat of this little town, in hopes of meeting someone new who hasn't got the memo to drag main. We opted for the latter and struck out there too.

So we're finishing up our detour and heading back towards Main for one last drag down Main, before calling it a night. We were about four blocks away when we approached a stoplight laughing about whether we had time to do a Chinese fire drill or not. If you don't know what that is, everyone gets out of the car at a red light and runs around the car, and tries to make it back to their seat before the light turns green. Like I said, small-town fun.

Suddenly I look up from our shenanigans and there in front of me were six men crossing the lane directly in front of us. All six men, however, were walking in single file, which seemed rather odd and unnerving for that hour of the night. All in step with a straight back facing forward. Same height. All crossing from the right corner of where a mortuary stood, the fact that didn't stand out at the time and really didn't even cross my mind until years later when sharing the location of this incident. All crossing from the right (mortuary) to left (where a school bus garage and baptist church stood) on opposite corners.

We were frozen trying to make sense of what we were seeing. It looked out of place for this time of night or for any time, really. Something was weird. Our frozen observance was quickly broken by a friend ordering me to “follow them!” When the light turned green, I made a quick left turn to follow them between the garage and the church. We rolled down our windows, laughing at the oddity and searching for an understanding of this bizarre scene through our laughter. You could hear several of us questioning 'what are you guys doing?' Without saying a word, they continued marching in sync and staring straight ahead. We were met with only a profile of six faces which only piqued our curiosity further, so we enquired again and again. We're non-relenting.

Then, suddenly, a response but it wasn't the response we expected. It jarred us and froze us for a brief moment. As if in a choreographed move, they all quickly snapped their heads toward us. All six pairs of identical eyes on identical faces, frames, and identical hairstyles, coldly stared. It was like staring into a mirror that is facing another and seeing exact replicas of oneself repeating indefinitely but here it wasn't my face but another and it they shouted in unison, “Go away!”. Suddenly another shout woke me from my shock and disbelief. This time from my back seat: “Drive now!” On a side road, I was half a block away from the... what was that? Another voice: “We have to go back! Turn around, let's follow them!” Remember, small-town fun. Why the hell not? We have nothing better to do?

We are now only a small town block away. We flip around and head back. We were met with the void of where they once stood. They were completely gone. It's a dark street. Nowhere for them to go. Street lights, business lights, house lights, nothing. If they went into a building, a light would be on. No buildings to go to in that amount of time. Just gone. We try to make sense of it and drove along the cross street that separated the block, we had just driven down, and nothing.

Defeated and confused, our laughter turned into shock and silence as we headed back to the corner. We took the detour that lured us off track. We sat on the dark side street in silence waiting for the red glow above the bath. The only sound was through my blinker. A steady sound signaling the left-hand turn, when suddenly we felt that it was tangible. The thought gives me goosebumps still to this day. Above us. it crept. Our heads snapped up collectively to see what above us could possibly be and it was massive darkness, undeniable darkness slowly engulfing us in its depth and its mysterious shadow the blackness weighed heavily upon our innocence. Suddenly green reflected from our terrified eyes and we were released from the clutches of the darkness. Before I had completed that left-hand turn to pick up where we had originally left off, we were all in tears, full-blown sobbing tears. We were shaken. No explanation. No answers but real undeniable yet unexplainable fear. Fear that hit each of us the same, made our skin crawl and our core shake and our eyes tear up and made us sink into areas of our soul we never knew existed seeking solace and an escape from the unknown.”

EXPERIENCER: "I Now Believe in Aliens & MIB"

A Kensington, Maryland resident experienced an otherworldly encounter, abduction, and lost time one late night at home. He is now convinced that aliens and MIB do exist.

After my experience, I now believe in aliens and MIB. I live in Kensington, Maryland, a northern suburb of Washington DC in Montgomery County. This event was NOT a dream or a hallucination.

One night in September 2017, I woke up at 1:30 AM to the sound of a break-in. I grabbed a handgun from my bedside drawer and went to the bedroom door to confront the intruder, but was suddenly rendered unconscious as I touched the doorknob. I woke up naked and cold in a pill-shaped, glass container. The lid was open, so I was able to stumble out onto the floor around the container. I felt drugged and could barely walk, but I thought I'd been kidnapped by someone so I was urgently trying to find an escape route. The room I was in was made of composite materials, namely concrete and plastic with fluorescent lights. I limped into a hallway that was tunnel-shaped and followed a blue glow coming from down the hall. As I walked, I came out of the tunnel and entered a large cylindrical room lined with vehicles on hooks along the walls. These were human vehicles, mostly Japanese and German cars/motorcycles, but some vehicles were clearly from the American military.

In the center of the room was what looked like a metal tree that was six stories tall with glowing blue leaves. Upon closer inspection, this tree was a large metal cylinder and the leaves were capsules much like the one I'd woken up in, except these still had people inside them and were radiating a neon blue glow. As I drew my eyes further up the tree, I noticed some blue wires moving around in the dark area toward the ceiling. These clumps of wires suddenly floated down toward me and turned to reveal that they had faces in them, each with two large dark eyes and narrow slits for noses and mouths. It's hard to describe, and I hate to put it this way, but think of a stereotypical "grey alien" face and picture it floating in a tangled-up mess of tentacles. There were three of them, one smiling, and two frowning. There was an exchange of words and charades between myself and the smiling one for roughly 10 minutes, but I was so exhausted and they were so advanced that there was no pertinent information shared between us.

I passed out, then woke up again face-down on a glass floor. I was too tired to move, so I tilted my head up just enough to take a look around. The room was circular, about 150 square. feet in size, and a bright sterile white color. One of the tentacle creatures was in the room but was busy facing away and operating a set of strange controls with no buttons or levers. I laid my head back down but saw through the glass floor that we had risen out of a deep black hole that was dug into a grassy plain. A rock-shaped lid closed around the hole to cover it as we flew further up. This is when I realized I was in a spacecraft, and we had actually been in a silo of some sort that's here on Earth somewhere. I passed out and was awoken by the sensation of being dropped back-first onto my bed with a hard thud. I checked my phone and it read 6:30 AM. The whole trip had been exactly five hours.

I'm not going into any further detail, but I found an object had been inserted and cauterized into my right leg, and I had a run-in with some men in black suits within four days of the abduction. I've never believed in abductions, UFOs, or MIBs. None of that! But now I've got no choice. I'm annoyed that there's no official place to get legitimate information or help on this subject since the experience was traumatic and any kind of clarity would help fix that. MUFON simply ignored me, so I'm reporting this information to you. Hopefully, it helps someone somewhere." V

'FAIRY LIGHTS' CREATE HAVOC Among Russian Infantrymen in Chechnya

An expatriate Russian infantryman recalls a strange incident that he and others experienced during an invasion of Chechnya in 2009. Fairy lights appeared and caused havoc among the soldiers.

In 2022, Mikhail Zaitskavich, a former Russian soldier, spoke to the producers of the TV show “Mission Unexplained” about his strange encounter in Chechnya in 2009. They re-created it though, because of his current status as a US infantryman, they opted to use a pseudonym.

According to Zaitskavich, he had always wanted to be in the military. Originally from Arkhangelsk, his father was a sergeant major with the Russian air force and it was his desire to follow in his footsteps. In 2009, Zaitskavich was selected to be a recon infantryman which, in the Russian military, meant he was among the best of the best. Around that time, tensions between Russia and Chechnya started to heat up.

In the spring of that year (2009), Zaitskavich was sent there with his platoon. They were assigned the task of fighting the enemy utilizing unconventional means, ie: diverting supply lines and gathering intelligence on the enemy by talking to villagers. Sometimes the villagers would lead them to the places where the soldiers hid their weapons and it was up to them to retrieve them. Zaitskavich recalled that in Chechnya in the springtime, it was always raining or foggy.

One night, while retrieving a cache of buried weapons, they noticed some lights in the forest. They could be seen with the naked eye but they were quite far off. It appeared to be 10 small lights, all moving erratically. Zaitskavich then noticed what sounded like voices or whispers. It sounded like two people, speaking Chechen. It was very quiet at first but it started to gain in frequency until it sounded like they were whispering right next to his ear. Soon,10 more voices, he guessed, joined in the whispering all speaking at once. He began to panic, fearing that they had been made. He thought maybe the lights were a distraction, a common tactic used by Chechen soldiers and they would be ambushed.

Ivan, a teammate and good friend of Zaitskavich, suddenly started speaking loudly. It seemed as though he was trying to communicate with his father, who had died two years earlier. He started to run towards the light, dropping his gun and his pack. Zaitskavich assumed that his friend had lost it or the enemy was playing with their minds. Fearing for his friend, and worrying he might give up their position, he chased after him. Ivan just kept repeating, “I'm coming, father!” He was in a dead sprint running towards the light.

As they got closer, and the lights got bigger, Zaitskavich found it odd that he could make out no definition in them, nobody or nothing was behind them. They just looked like lights floating in mid-air. “That was strange to me,” he recalled. Ivan, now on his knees, arms at his side, was in front of a body of water, directly in front of the lights. He seemed to be in a trance and despite Mikhail's attempts to snap him out of it, he just kept talking to his father, to the lights. “At the time I wasn't asking what this might be, I was just worried about not getting shot,” he noted.

Eventually, the commander of the team arrived. He looked at Ivan and then at the lights and then muttered, “The fairies have him.” Zaitskavich couldn't believe what he'd just heard. He didn't know what to make of it as he'd never even considered it to be something paranormal. Ivan eventually passed out. “When I looked back up from his body, the lights were gone. It was terrifying!” They carried Ivan back to their original location. “Ivan had no idea what had happened to him. It was like he was in a coma. He couldn't remember actually the whole day. It was extremely weird that he couldn't remember any of it.”

The next day they just nodded at each other and carried on with the missions. “It is the strangest event that ever happened in my entire life,” Zaitskavich admitted. In hindsight, he believes the lights had sinister intentions for him and the others. It appeared to Mikhail that they were attempting to lure Ivan to the water, possibly to drown him.

Zaitskavich, a former nationalist, eventually became disenchanted with the Russian military. He exchanged important information with US officials and was, in return, granted citizenship. He now lives in the US and has cut off all ties with his family. He has resumed his career as an infantryman, now as an American.

Photographer Encounters BIGFOOT GROUP in Large Remote Cave Near Home (PHOTO)

A professional photographer is given the assignment to capture nature stills. He decides to go into the woods near his home. While there he encounters a group of Bigfoot in a cave.

"It was a Saturday night and I was hanging out at the bar with my friends having a great time. We were all talking about how our lives have been since we last saw each other a few years ago. They all told me how they got some boring good paying jobs but I'm right where I want to be at. I do photography and fell in love with it when I was a kid. It took me a few years to get above-average pay which was a pain but I still love what I do. We all exchanged numbers later that night and left.

Walking to my car I got a text from my boss about a new project he wants me to do. The theme was nature and I was lucky since my house is right next to a forest. I responded that I was down to do this project. It was really late at night around 2 AM and I decided to go into my backyard and see where I will be going tomorrow. Draco, my four-year-old Lab, was barking and whining to go outside I got some food for him so we could relax in the backyard.

I was on my phone scrolling through my social media apps minding my own business until Draco began to viciously bark towards the woods. 'Draco, come over here.' I yelled out he ran back towards me quick as a rabbit. I could tell he was in fear of what he had seen I began to comfort him and investigated the woods to see if I could see what was scaring him. All I saw were six bright white dots looking toward me but I couldn't make out what it was. It must have been the raccoons. They're always out by my house and the woods. I shouted out to the things to go away but they did not budge. Draco and I went back inside and I kept a close eye on the woods the whole way. We went to bed because it was late and I had to see my boss in the afternoon.

I woke up and looked around because I had an ugly sense that someone was watching me. I looked at Draco and he had a dead stare looking out the window. I slowly turned my head towards the door to see the same bright white dots but I could make out that they were the eyes of some creature, not a raccoon, but something else. They slowly started to fade away into the darkness. I turned to the other side of my bed and saw them right in front of me. They look like tall humans but it was too dark to see any other details. They suddenly jumped at me and that's when I woke up. This is all just a terrible nightmare. I brushed it off and went to go feed Draco before I left to see my boss.

For some odd reason, Draco would just stare at the woods for a few good minutes then just go back to laying down. I couldn't investigate because of time so I laughed and made my way to work. My boss Derek told me to meet him at a coffee shop near my house so we could talk about what he wanted some pictures of. "I need you to get some good shots of our forest. I know you live in one basically so this shouldn't be hard," he said. I left and went to go get ready for the job. I had to stop at a store to get the right lens for this job in particular. Hopefully, the nighttime shot can be quick because I don't feel safe going in there alone.

By the time I found the right lens, it was already 5 PM and daytime began to fall into the night. The sunset looked amazing so I snapped a shot. On my way home I was wondering how Draco was doing. I mean why would he keep staring outside for a few minutes before laying down? Was there someone out there?

When I got home Draco was sleeping and it seemed as if everything was the same as I had left it. I let Draco outside and I went to take some shots of the forest before nighttime hit. I got a good 30 pictures in of just random things and decided to take good ones tomorrow with more sunlight. Since it was already night time I decided to take the night pictures today to get them over with. I had a fear of stepping in the woods ever since I had that nightmare last night but it was my job and I needed to get it done quickly. I went back to the house to let Draco inside and to get my other lens for the night shots.

It was 8 PM and the light of the sun disappeared while night struck the sky. The stars were out and I had to get a good angle with the trees and have the stars in the background. I walked a little further and saw a trail leading down. I went over and noticed it led to a massive cave. It was dark and the only source of light that I had was the flashlight from my phone. I flashed over to the cave to see if I could see anything before I went inside. I wanted to look around first.

As I was walking away I heard the sound of something moving inside the cave. It sounded as if it was getting closer and trying to leave the cave I did not want to know what was coming up from inside so I ran down the trail to where the campers are normally. When I got there I went up to the man I see every day. "Hey, I know you don't know me but do you know about that cave back there down the trail?" I said to him, out of breath waiting for a response. "What do you want to know about it?" he asked very confusedly. "I work for a photography company and I want to take some pictures inside there. But I heard something moving around. Do you know anything about it?" I asked him. "If you're going in there for some pictures then you might as well take your death photo while you're at it," he said, seeming mad. I just shrugged and went back to the cave to take a few pictures and leave.

On my way there I tripped on something and fell over. I turned my flashlight on to see what I had stepped on. It was a large footprint. It had to be roughly 20 inches long it led to the cave along with several other footprints. I knew there was something big and I had to get a picture of it. I made my way to the cave entrance. Inside it was dark and silent. Just the beat of my heart echoed through the large cave. I took a single picture with a flash on. I checked the picture and put the exposure up to see where the next entry will be. I went to the opening on the right and took another picture and did the same as the last time. When I checked the picture I saw the bright white eyes and when I put the exposure up I could see humanoid figures standing there watching me. I looked into the darkness and they were standing right in front of me. I had to look up at them and I didn't move a single muscle. Something behind them fell down. The sound of rocks falling over. The eyes turned around and behind them were more bright white eyes popping out of nowhere. I went back to where I came from until I saw the dim light from outside. When I made it out I ran straight to my house and called my boss immediately. I sent him the picture and he was in shock at what I got a hold of."

NOTE: There was no mention of where this took place, but I believe, from the narration, that this may have been somewhere in the US Southwest. What are your thoughts? Lon
