Fearful Mother Encounters CLICKING 'GLIMMER MAN' That She Believes Is Stalking Her

A Sussex County, New Jersey mother encountered a clicking 'Glimmer Man' while in the woods near her home. She is fearful that this humanoid is stalking her since she still hears the clicking sounds.

I recently received the following account:

"I live in a very rural part of northern New Jersey, in Sussex County. Behind my property and to the left of my house is all forest. There are a few trails. Next door to me is a protected wilderness area where you can't build on it.

Every once in a while I would take my son in his little wagon and would set up on the clearing and have a little picnic. We were playing a few feet up before you go into the woods. So we're playing on the little clearing and he starts to mimic the sounds that he hears, for instance, the neighbor's dog, birds, etc. He mimicked the sounds around us, like the squirrels running by and the chipmunks.

All of a sudden I turned around to get him some fruit salad or whatever we were eating that day and out of the corner of my eye I see him just stop. He's saying, 'Mom, mom,' but he's staring away, not looking at me. He's looking into the tree and he's pointing, but he's not blinking. I turned around. I asked, 'What do you see? Do you see a birdie?' Then it hit me. There were no sounds.

He starts walking into the woods, but the whole time he's looking up. He's still not looking where he's going and pointing up into the tree. The only movement I see besides my son are leaves rustling in the trees. Then I see it and it's like heat rising up off the concrete on a sunny day, but it's in the tree and it's like crouched down. One arm is out to the side and its knees are bent. Immediately I feel this thing's glare burning into me. Then I hear the clicking sound. As soon as his eyes snapped to me my son looked at me and freaking panicked.

It literally had the shape of a humanoid. It's so hard to explain because it was human-like but the way it was crouched reminded me of a praying mantis. My son is then mimicking a clicking sound that this thing was making. I grab my son and we run back to the house. All the food and everything is left in the woods.

I told my friend about what we experienced that evening. He went back into the woods and gathered my belongings. He stayed in the woods for about an hour, telling me later that he did not see or hear anything unusual.

That was 6 months ago. It is now February 2023. I have read a few Glimmer Man reports from others online. When I go outside during the day, I occasionally hear those same clicking sounds coming from the woods. At night, while in bed, I hear the faint clicking sounds emanating from the deep woods. I believe that this Glimmer Man is stalking us. I asked my neighbors if they heard the strange clicking sounds. They have not. Maybe I am only allowed to hear them.

I will keep you updated." M

NOTE: I talked to the witness today. I find the clicking sound interesting since I can't recall receiving previous reports where that occurred. It's reminiscent of the sound made by the cloaked 'Predator' alien from the films. The witness stated that she had not seen any of the 'Predator' films until recently, after her encounter. Lon

The Venus Gospel: An Account of George Adamski’s 1963 Visit to Denmark and Belgium - Parts VII & VIII

A Southern California Contactee Visits Belgium

On Tuesday the 21st and Friday the 24th of May 1963, the famous Southern California contactee, George Adamski, gave lectures in Belgium at the great Antwerp Exposition Hall, built just five years earlier, and filled it to its capacity of 2,000 attendees during the first meeting.  The second meeting saw the hall as only half filled, insomuch as the scheduled trip to Finland was cancelled on the day prior due to security concerns.  Adamski and Hans Petersen, therefore, decided they could stay another day in Antwerp, but had little time to promote the meeting with formal announcements in the local newspapers.   

Sandwiched between these dates, on Thursday, the 23rd of May, the contactee returned to Denmark where he addressed a smaller group of several hundred students, members of the Scandinavian UFO Information (SUFOI) group at Kolding, along with the directing adults and others interested in UFOs and the possibility of life in outer space. Thanks to the work of the director of the SUFOI in Denmark, then Captain Hans C. Petersen of the Danish Air Force, and others engaged in the zealous ground-laying work of that organization, in the week prior to Adamski’s arrival, the Belgium UFO Information (BUFOI) group was organized and launched.  BUFOI personnel were responsible for receiving the well-known American contactee and making all of the arrangements for his speaking engagements for his two appearances in Belgium.

As was usually the case, Adamski presented a slide lecture of one hour to those in attendance at the meetings of the 21st and 24th, followed by a half hour of answering questions from the audience.  For the student presentation on the 23rd, the contactee simply talked about his books and went over some of his slides; but afterwards joined the attending students in a campus dining hall where he answered random questions to those seated at and gathering around his table.

Questions and Answers on 21 May 1963

The following questions and answers were taken at random from the BUFOI transcript of George Adamski’s 21 May 1963 lecture in Antwerp, Belgium:

Production for Meeting Needs

Q.  Are the conditions of living the same on the other planets, as they are here?

A.  Conditions of living, in general, yes.  But the government, it’s a little different, you might say.  They do not work for a profit.  The produce for need only.  So, the conditions there are different that way.  The social system has no divisions, like caste systems (poor or rich or black or white).  It recognizes one human congregation of human beings, like a big family.  Allow me to continue on this line.

In 1929 the whole United States stock market crashed.  The whole world was affected.  After that, (Franklin D.) Roosevelt was president.  A lot of factories were standing idle, doing nothing.  He (Roosevelt) opened them up for one purpose:  production for use and not for profit.  So, the industry got to running again.  And perhaps, if the opposition would not have been so strident against the president, we could have had that system throughout the world by now.  Production for use, not for profit, because it is the profit that is the element causing all of the trouble in this situation.

Many Others Have Met the Space People

Q.  How are you so well-acquainted with the programs of the government?

A.  Since 1952, I have been in steady contact with the space people, meeting them an talking with them.  When I say, “I am meeting those people,” understand that I am not the only one.  There are others who have met them; and there are, for the most part, no governments to this day, small or big, that have not also met them in one way or another.

Cure for Cancer

Q.  When can we cure cancer on our planet?

A.  I get letters every day from people, and some doctors, from different countries, asking, “Why don’t they (the extraterrestrials) give us something to cure cancer?”  We actually have a machine that can cure cancer.  If it were put into widespread usage, and made available to everybody, in five years’ time it could eliminate cancer and other diseases off the face of the world.  Yet, the machine is not being used today because it is still under wraps, being labeled “experimental.”  It has actually passed that phase; but it has been kept off the market because you and I would then be able to go out and buy one, quite economically, and have it in the house so that all the family could be treated with it for almost nothing.  It would cost you only $100 for the machine (back in 1963).  It is not a big machine.  And while everyone would be all the healthier for using it, there would be a lot of doctors and other medical personnel out of work.  Naturally, you can expect persons employed in the medical field to fight for their livelihoods by keeping this machine and other medical inventions secret and off the market for as long as possible.  

(Cosmic Ray’s comments:  Many in the audience persisted in asking George Adamski questions about this machine and the technology behind it.  Basically, Adamski described the device as looking like a pair of gloves that dangle from an X-ray-like machine suspended over a patient’s bed.  The doctor runs his special gloved hands over the patient’s body until one of them comes over the spot of the cancer or other anomalous disorder in the body.  When the spot of bodily disfunction is located, a ray from the machine is focused on it.  Adamski told the Belgians in attendance that day that, “If you understand the human boy, you would be able to see what is happening.  The molecules that make up the human body are negative and positive, like shoe lacing.  What happens here is that the ray separates the pairs (the laces), the positive from the negative.  And when they are separated, there is a space; there is nothing there any more because the solids there in the body have been suspended. Then they (the doctors) can get in there and replace the bone or other body part, or in some cases, relace the molecular structure altogether into a new configuration.”  There is no pain, no blood or no cutting in the relacing process, although it takes more time to accomplish. According to the contactee, in the relacing process, “The molecules get together and close up on their own, and no mark is showing.  They (some doctors) have been experimenting with this since the early 1950s.”  

Adamski also revealed during his Belgian tour that, “Every human being has his or her own frequency and the molecular structure of the human body can be adjusted with transmissions directed to their own frequency level.”  The double-helix structure of the deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) molecules is truly representative of just what this Southern California contactee was talking about in Belgium in 1963.  DNA’s double-helix structure wasn’t discovered until 1953 and work with it largely remained in the experimental stages through 1977, when Dr. Frederick Sanger introduced rapid DNA sequencing techniques, which ultimately led to the mapping of Huntington’s disease in 1983, the detection of DNA indicating susceptibility to breast and ovarian cancers in 1990 and the start of the Human Genome Project in the same year, the cloning of Dolly the sheep in 1996, etc., with more and more medical advances year after year.  

While the contactee was leery of the specialists and big wigs in many industries and government positions of power holding back critical information and technology that could lead to fantastic leaps in the advancement of human evolution on this planet, with the slower than he expected innovations which have occurred over time in medicine, space research, transportation, etc., Adamski, nevertheless, proved himself to be a prophet of the coming New Age, abetted by the friendly Venusians and other extraterrestrials providing him such valuable insight into a much-improved world of tomorrow for all of us.)

Telepathy Explained

Q.  Exactly how do you communicate with the space people?

A.  In Norway, some years back, if you remember, it was published in all your papers, too, there were two sisters who were picking berries- that must have been in the fall of the year, when one of the big spacecraft came down.  A man talked to both of the sisters in a language they did not understand and even indicated to them that they could go out and rise in the ship, take a ride.  One was married, the other was not.  They refused and were afraid.  Of course, they kept this to themselves; but one of the sisters acted funny.  So, her husband wondered why she acted that way.  It (the encounter with the extraterrestrial) had been a shock to her and she could not forget it; so finally he questioned her until she admitted what had happened; and that is the way the story leaked out.  Some reporters from Norway wrote to me and wanted to know if it was the same kind of contact as I had.  

They have also contacted the Frenchman, Mendes France, and they spoke French with him.  You have space people in Europe, that we have not in America, that can speak seven or more languages fluently.  These people are so advanced as to construct interplanetary spaceships.  With such vast intellects, it is easy for them to learn anything, including a multiplicity of Earth languages.  Besides, they can also tune into our television and radio transmissions and learn that way very easily.  

On top of that, they use the only identical language in the world, or in the cosmos, or even throughout eternity.  It is the same language that the Creator uses with all of His creation.  It’s a language that everybody understands; and they use that.  The language that I am speaking about is the one that everybody is born with.  You don’t learn that language.  It’s given to you from birth.  But you forget it because those around you impose the language that we now know upon you. 

The language we talk about now has been named “premonition,” or “hunch,” more colloquially.  In science we know it as “telepathy.”  It is an impression language.  You can take all the nationalities of this world, talking different languages, and tell them to ask God one thing, all at the same time, and every one of them will be answered, if God deems to answer them  Yet everyone will express that answer in his or her own language.

In an expressive language, where I ask you something, I give sound to it, after I have conceived the idea, which was an impression in the first place.  You are accustomed to sound or words to convey the idea; but you understand the idea a ot better without my words.  Artists are very good at transmitting ideas through their work and all great inventors use it.  For instance, an artist my have received a beautiful image in her or his mind by impression.  Then the artist starts putting that image down on a canvas; and if the quality of the impression that she or he had in their mind is not up to par with the image on the canvas, the artist is disappointed.  The image on the painting can never truly match fine and delicate quality of the image in the mind’s eye of the artist, which was an impression.  That is the language we have forgotten.  

Yet the animal kingdom uses that language.  You can walk up to a strange dog; and if you are going to hurt the dog, the dog already knows.  And if he is on the defense, and if you are going to paddle him, he is going to wag his tail, trying to approach you and make friends.  Even where a ship at sea is sinking, or going to sink, you will notice that the rats try to leave the ship before any of the human beings know anything about the danger they will soon be facing.  And in thousands of such cases, you will see evidence of the language we have forgotten.  

We have never cultivated it; but now even some national governments recognize it.  In the United States and the Soviet Union, there are secret schools attempting to develop this psychic power in astronauts/cosmonauts and military personnel.  More and more high officials in other governments are finally taking an interest in telepathy, realizing its strategic importance and potential.  

Therefore, you see how the space people have this higher form of communication to deal with.  In other words, they get your impressions of what you are going to say and convey their impressions to you.  This is sometimes seen as a type of mindreading.   Many of you have probably experienced it yourself, at one level or another.  

For example, you take a walk down a seemingly lonely road.  You don’t see anyone on the road, thinking you are all alone.  But all of a sudden, you get the feeling that somebody is either watching you from behind a tree or there is somebody following you- stalking you- and you look around again and discover that is actually the case.  Now there is your psychic impression and you now know that it never fails you.  It is always right.  That is one language you can count on, if you only would learn how to use it.  

The problem is that we depend on sound too much and too little on the feelings we get.  All impressions are feelings, after all.  This is when you become conscious of something that you were not aware of before.  It’s born with us.  

The space people use this kind of language almost all the time.  That’s why they have practically no crime on their planets.  Everyone can read minds, getting impressions of intent, and that is why everyone is always careful and circumspect in their behavior.  When you have a society like that, you’ve got to guard your thoughts and act appropriately.  You know that somebody is going to read you; and if you are up to something, planning to do wrong, then they’ll know all about it.  You’ll quickly see the futility in pursuing criminal activity.  

(Cosmic Ray’s comments:  George Van Tassel (1910-1978) an aircraft mechanic from Ohio who moved to Southern California to run the airport at Landers Field, about 17 miles northeast of Yucca Valley, where he held Interplanetary Spacecraft Conventions annually from 1954-1977, was also a famous contactee who conducted telepathic communications sessions in his home carved out under the famous Giant Rock.  The quartz in this rock was shown to possess piezoelectric properties which Van Tassel claimed served as a type of cosmic battery in augmenting mental telepathic signals to and from interplanetary spaceships, most notably from Venus that were drawn to the area.   Van Tassel asserted that the Venusians had a “tensor beam” which could transmit thoughts word-for-word directly between one brain and another, heard inside one’s head just as if they were listening to a radio signal through headphones.)

Fellow Ufologist Aimé Michel:  UFOs as Preclude to Invasion 

Aimé Michel (1919-1992) was the foremost French “go-to guy” for information about UFOs in the 1950s and into the mid-1960s on the European continent.  Having university degrees in philosophy and psychology, as well as a certificate as a radio station sound engineer, Michel applied his knowledge to write numerous books on the possibilities of life in outer space and the existence of some UFOs as being interplanetary spaceships, which can frequently be observed traveling along flight paths between certain population centers determined through the science of “orthoteny,” defined in the context of the plotting of UFO sightings by time sequence as clustered around particular grid lines.  In other words, Michel was what we might refer to today as a “nuts and bolts” ufologist.

Most of the members of the Belgian group were familiar with Michel’s work; and while believing that some UFOs were extraterrestrial, were still doubtful about the more metaphysical contact experiences extolled to them by the likes of George Adamski and other contactees. Ergo, the followers of Michel in Europe were much of the same ilk as retired Marine Corps Major Donald E. Keyhoe’s adherents in the United States, declaring that while UFOs were real and coming from other planets, they were most likely unmanned, remote controlled probes sent to our world for the purpose of conducting a military reconnaissance, possibly in advance of an invasion.  

And if there were any extraterrestrials manning some of these ships, they were probably few in number from another solar system but were being deployed from bases established on the far side of the Moon, on Mars or Venus, or even under our seas and oceans, biding the time when reinforcements could arrive from their home world or worlds in sufficient numbers to initiate an attack.  

For these reasons, the Belgians wanted to know what George Adamski thought of fellow ufologist Aimé Michel.

Q.  What are your feelings about Aimé Michel?

A.  As far as Michel is concerned, I am not against him, as even the Bible speaks of fallen angels and other evil beings existing outside of the Earth.  After all, the universe is a big place. It is filled with beings both good and bad, some more spiritually advanced and others less evolved and subversively minded. I talk from another angle, and we all have different experiences. Therefore, Michel can only speak from his research, investigations, and experiences while I, on the other hand, talk from my own.

Dedication to the Youth

The noted Southern California contactee, Professor George Adamski, had specifically asked the leadership of the Scandinavian UFO Information (SUFOI) group, to set aside Thursday, 23 May 1963, as a day dedicated to the youth of Denmark.  It was important to Adamski that no section of any country’s population be afraid of the unknown, for the space people had revealed to him and other contactees that humankind’s destiny lies in the stars.  Too many of the Earth’s masses remained ignorant of the teachings and program of the space people for the elevation of humankind’s consciousness preparatory for further contact with their emissaries now working behind the scenes in every nation on the planet to promote peace and understanding among us.  

Adamski took note of the hysteria following Orson Welles’ Halloween 1938 broadcast about an invasion from Mars supposedly taking place in New Jersey.  Although it was announced at the beginning of the program that it as just a dramatization, many who did not hear the introduction thought that it was all for real, that the end of the world as we knew it was finally upon us.  In order to avoid the panicked response from happening again with any announcement about the existence of UFOs as crewed interplanetary spaceships, Adamski cautioned the future ufologists assembled that they should take extra care in presenting information about alien beings and flying saucers, i.e., informing the masses by incremental degrees, as it were.

Importance of Space Research in Coming UFO Revelations

In the initial stages of UFO revelations, Adamski urged the Belgian youth assembled to press for more of their own government’s involvement with space research, looking for signs of life on the Moon and other planets in our solar system and helping to engineer space vehicles which will take us to these other orbs in the years to come.  Adamski expressed his belief that although the authorities in the United States and other countries in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) know where the UFOs come from, what they are and why they are here, they have chosen not to keep the public informed about them.  

Professor Adamski talked about various space phenomena, including the so-called “fire-fly effect” exhibited by the UFOs sighted beyond the Earth’s atmosphere by the Friendship 7 astronaut John Glenn in his several orbits that he made of our planet in the Gemini capsule.  Adamski asked the young people in attendance, “Has John Glenn seen fireflies in space?”  All of the students answered in the affirmative.

From Keller Venus Files:  George Adamski in center of back row, sporting thin necktie, with members of the Scandinavian UFO Information (SUFOI) Youth Study Group at Kolding, Denmark, on Thursday, 23 May 1963, along with senior leaders and teachers, Mr. and Mrs. Dybkær of Kolding.

Then the California metaphysics professor commented: “Just think about it.  Would Glenn have seen these fireflies if he had not been in space?”  There was a negative reply to this question from all assembled.  

And lastly, Adamski further questioned the students:  “How has it been possible for me to describe them (the fireflies) seven years before Glenn and in the same way he has?”  After a brief pause, he answered his rhetorical question thusly:  “Well, in order to know about the fireflies, I must also have been in space.  Other things about outer space, too, that I had written in my 1955 book (Inside the Space Ships), have been confirmed by our satellites.”

Summary of Life on Venus

For the younger audience, Adamski briefly went over some of the same answers that he provided to the Belgian adults on the previous day:

Religion:  The space people let themselves be guided by their “religion.”  They worship the invisible, the Causal Principle or the Creator.  

Politics:  Political parties simply do not exist among the inhabitants of Venus or other planets in the Galactic Confederation.  And if any of them found themselves in disagreement over policy matters, they worked together, setting aside their egos, in order to reach a consensus, finding common ways of thought directed toward achieving the very same end, that being the common good.  

Ethnocentrism/Racism:  Neither castes nor ethnic and racial discrimination exist on the other planets.  

Telepathic Power:  Every human being is born with telepathic power.  All nature kingdoms (animal, vegetable, etc.) are able to make use of this means of communication which is life in the world of the forms; and life here is not dependent on the human being.  

At first, you will get an impression like a presentiment, clear-sightedness, etc.  It has many names.  Finally, you will be mentally awake through the impressions which turn up.  You will now find yourself in a condition where you are impressionable, a condition where you are mentally conscious, and where you will see the things round about you in their spiritual light.  The impressions will be there before the spirit will be able to catch them.  They are active and exist independent of the spirit; ,ut they have no life without consciousness….

It is through telepathy that God communicates with the created.  We are here to learn the different natural laws which have been given to us; thus we shall neither know about pain nor sorrow.

United States Space Exploration:

I believe that it would behoove the Congress of the United States to authorize a 50% increase in funds allotted to researching conditions on the Moon and other planets and the building of spacecraft to eventually carry American astronauts to these far-off worlds.  It is extremely important for the United States to establish bases on the Moon and other planets before some insane dictator in a communist country “presses the wrong button,” if you catch my drift.

(Cosmic Ray’s comments:  The implications in the contactee’s remarks about the American space program are two-fold:  First, if life as we know it is obliterated from the surface of the Earth as the result of a nuclear war, there will at least remain remnants of a space-faring Western civilization to start anew in outer space colonies, under the protective guidance of the Venusians and other planetary members of the Galactic Confederation; and second, should humankind somehow manage to avert such an apocalypse, all of Earth will benefit all the more by advancing further along in our cosmic evolution as a peaceful, space-faring civilization, all the more worthy of being included as the next planetary member represented in the councils of the ruling galactic body.)

Eyewitness Reports: WINGED CRYPTIDS, GLIMMER MAN, & RED-EYED HUMANOID

The following 4 accounts were recently forwarded to me. It includes a Pennsylvania winged cryptid, Arizona 'Glimmer Man,' Australian winged beings, and a red-eyed black humanoid.

1988 / Aston Mountain Rd, Spring Brook Township, Pennsylvania, USA / Three cousins were driving in a car together near Aston Mountain Rd, when they reached a horseshoe turn in the road, where a bridge sits, they observed a figure standing in the water. It appeared to be picking up rocks, they assumed looking for grubs to eat. Suddenly, upon seeing their car, the creature came out of the water and began chasing them. They were going about 30 miles per hour and this creature seemed to be keeping up with them. As they watched the creature they realized it was able to keep up with them because it had wings. Not long after the encounter, all three cousins moved away from the area.

"One time back in 2008, my daughters and I were heading back to the Dine Rez from Sedona Arizona. We were almost in Del Muerto Arizona at about 1 am. I saw this figure run across the road heading west. You could see right through it, it blended in with the background, like Predator the movie. I just thought, you are just tired and seeing things. My oldest was riding shotgun and she says, "Did you see that Dad ?" I thought she was sleeping like her sister."

"This happened in Cairns, Australia.  It was new years eve back in 2012 me and a few mates. Some were Indigenous. We were at my house in Bayview before heading clubbing. As we were talking and having a yarn, I asked my bro if we should go for a walk up the hill. My bro agreed and the rest joined.

As we were walking up Bayview there was a mountain path that you can track up. In the forest mind you, I heard the trees shake as if something was jumping from tree to tree. I asked the boys if they heard it but they laughed. As we got higher up the mountain path. I saw two black figures big tank-looking things at the fork of the mountain path. My boys stood frozen and I had cold chills. As we stared at these things, my aboriginal friend said to me lets run now. But my islander friend, being a hero, yelled out and said and I quote "Bala I nor fright you." Right as he said that these two beings rushed us. They must have been 8 or 9-foot beings.

We bolted down that hill. But we heard the footsteps get closer. As we got to the bottom of the street light we looked back and those things stood at the end of the mountain path. And we could all see that these beings had large black wings like an eagle and dark orange eyes.. After that, we vowed never to go near the mountain. To this day I don't know what the heck those things were."

1970s / Tuba City,  Arizona, USA / When my mom used to work for the Tuba City Boarding School during the 70s, she would tell us stories of what the dorm kids would see at night. Mom worked the graveyard shift. Many times she worked alone. She would tell us of times the young girls would come up to her and tell her someone was looking into their dorm window. It was a one-story building. The sleeping quarters were split into two wings. Mom would ask the girl if she could describe the person. All the little girl would say was it was a black figure with glowing red eyes.

This was repeated time and time again by many different students. Mom notified her supervisors and they would assign two adults to work the night shift to help ease the kid's fears.

One night, she and her co-worker, after being told by another student of the dark figure peeking into the window, decided to "ambush" the person outside. They snuck outside and surprised the "person." Turns out the "person" stood 7 feet tall and was black in color and had red eyes. They both screamed and ran inside. Mom said she thinks their screaming scared the creature away because they saw it run like crazy toward Dodson Pond. Security and other staff have also witnessed such a creature creeping around the boarding school at night. No one had been hurt but a lot of people have frightened by its presence.

Otherworldly UPRIGHT CAT-SHAPED ENTITY Loudly Wailing Outside House

Almost 50 years later, a witness describes an incident with a thin otherworldly upright cat-shaped entity that was loudly wailing outside of a den sliding door while the witness slept.

“When I was around 13 years old - it wasn't a Sasquatch but I'm really hoping someone out there has had this same experience. The fear was absolutely paralyzing. I still think about it almost every day.

Our house was a rambler style in a rural setting with a deck out the back that had several steps out to the backyard and then woods. We didn't have any neighbors. Then my bedroom was actually the den that had the sliding glass door going to the deck. Our only cat was with me and stayed asleep the whole time. We had a dog that was the only other witness to this event.

Just before the morning light, something started to scream outside the glass door of the deck. I was immediately paralyzed with fear. I can only describe it as a metallic extremely loud wailing siren-type scream. It had more than one tone like an extra vibration and was not at all natural and extremely loud. It wailed with intensity and aggression - no pausing up and down in tone and so loud it seemed like it went on forever. I was sweating and shaking with a primal to-the-gut fear. I expected everyone in the house, especially my dad who was an extremely light sleeper, to come running but no one did. Our dog went nuts. He growled and barked. He attacked the curtains and rushed the glass constantly. The whole time he did not stir this thing at all. It stayed rigid and still up against the glass. I felt it was aware of me and wanted my attention. I felt it was aggressive but I was not totally sure of its intent just that it wanted my attention.

I finally managed to lift my head slightly to look at whatever this thing was and its shape was like an average-height but extremely thin house cat. No way was this a cat or any known creature of the woods. I've always said that I was born with a cat in my arms and that I was probably a cat in my past life, so I know cats. I'm now 61 years old. I've heard their calls and screams and this was beyond anything like that.

I'm having trouble writing this next sentence. I do not believe this was an earthly creature. I will not be dismissed. I know this thing was not normal. This thing was sitting upright either facing into the glass or away. No features. Solid black silhouette with its ears straight exaggeratingly long and sitting unnaturally on top of its head. It looked fake! My cat is next to me and sound asleep the whole time. Could this thing have masked itself as something similar or something familiar to me? What about the odd metallic vibration, it was ear-piercingly loud, like it was coming from everywhere. It wailed up and down without stopping like a high-pitched siren it went on and on for what seemed like forever. I estimate it lasted about five minutes. It started when it was dark outside and then the light gradually got brighter. I don't remember falling asleep just that it was later and everyone was getting up for breakfast. I asked if anyone heard anything weird but they heard nothing.

Our dog looked haggard and exhausted. I knew this really happened just by the look in his eyes. He seemed as tired, edgy, and troubled as I did. After breakfast, the dog and I checked the deck for proof but found nothing. He sniffed everywhere frantically. I can't remember if he ran in the woods. I don't think he did and I was too afraid. I felt like I'd been through a terrifying experience. It still disturbs me to this day when I think about it. What was it? My parents lived there another 40 years nothing like that ever happened again.”

NOTE: These cat-like entities are usually described to be otherworldly or alien in appearance. Take a look at a  recent video at Beyond Creepy, discussing a very similar case from 1979, in Fullham, England.

BTW, the Sasquatch caught on camera in the source video is shown below:

Rural Michigan Man Fears DOGMAN May Be Stalking Him

A Michigan man describes possible recent encounters with a Dogman on his farm. He has heard growls and seen movement. He is fearful of what may be lurking in the darkness.

Recently forwarded to me:

"I am writing to you from the state of Michigan. I will be 67 years old in March 2023 and have hunted in my early days and fished all my life. I spent countless all-nighters on a sandbar catching catfish before the sun came up, in my 20s-40s in a tree stand with my bow, then migrated to my .44 magnum hand cannon for whitetails. I was never happy hunting until I reached the deepest darkest dungeons of the forest or timber I was in.

When I moved to Michigan from Iowa after my wife passed it was like a treasure trove of outdoor activity. I met and remarried my now wife in 2004. We live on the east side of Lake Michigan toward the tip of the thumb. Lately, I fish very little and stopped hunting because of the intense pressure and my age. Just not fun anymore. But I continue to competitive shoot.

After moving to Michigan I started hearing stories about the Michigan Dogman. I just blew it off. About 5 years ago there was a sighting by a man named Joe Barger, a semi-truck driver that was hauling a load in the UP. He stated that this creature tried to crawl into his moving truck. He stated that he shot this creature in the head and watched it fall to the ground as the truck sped away. About 3-4 months ago I read a local story about a Dogman sighting just north of us in a small town named Port Hope. We live on a 4.5 acreage with a very high banked creek that flows behind the old farmhouse. We have chickens, goats, pigs, 2 cows, and barn cats and dogs.

I believe it was early October 2022. I was out in the back by the creek when I heard what I thought was a faint growl. I didn't think much of it until I got back inside and I asked which one of our dogs is outside. My youngest replied they are all in the house, and no dogs were out. My wife looked at me and asked, 'Why? What is wrong?' She asked if I was ok. She said the color simply drained right out of my face. She was concerned because she knows that there is very little that scares me. I told her I was out back and I thought that I heard one of the dogs growling. She said they have been inside before you went outside. I grabbed my .44 and a flashlight and went out back. I didn't hear or see anything.

I cautiously went out back again the next night to just look around, and I heard the growl again. But this time it was a lot louder and it sounded like it was right behind me, like just feet away. I quickly turned around pointing my .44 in that direction. I saw nothing, but the lower branches of the pine trees moving. There was NO WIND. I quickly moved back into the house. My wife looked at me again and simply said, "What?' My wife is from Michigan. I never met my father-in-law because he died of cancer in the early 80s. I told her what I experienced the last 2 nights and the color drained from her face. She stated, 'You can't be serious.' I told her, 'Does it look like I'm joking?' She walked over and sat in her chair and began telling me a story told to her by her dad about a deer camp many years ago.

She said her dad told her of a time at deer camp when they saw a man with a face like a dog. She said that her dad never went hunting after that again. Anyway, when I go outside at night to feed the critters I carry my .44. We live on a flat farmland area of the thumb. The biggest thing that scares me is the creek. You can spit and hit the creek it's that close. The scary part about the creek is it has high banks on both sides. Even a very tall creature could walk down the center of the creek for miles, unseen, in any direction because the sides are so high. You would never even see it. I wasn't sure if I needed to tell anyone this because I didn't actually see anything other than moving branches and heard that horrible growl. But what I experienced wasn't normal, but it was real."

Legendary CONGOLESE GIANT SPIDER J'BA FOFI Recorded in Mozambique (VIDEO)

"A legendary cryptid J'ba Fofi was supposedly caught on camera, back in 2014 in Maptualand, Mozambique by campers. They had heard stories of native villagers coming across giant burrows and seeing giant webs around the Maptualand area, so they decided to take a camera with them before they tucked it into their tent they put the camera on a nearby tree and began recording overnight. In the morning they were shocked at what they had captured."

Comment from 'D': "I briefly participated in missionary work in the Congo in the late 1980s and can say with my hand on my heart that I and 6 other locals witnessed a J'ba FoFi scurry across the road/clearing into the bush just 5 feet away from us, about an hour outside of Gamboma. It looked exactly like a long-legged tarantula but was about the size of a medium-sized dog, pitbull, or something. Of course, everyone I've ever told says 'yeah sure, just a big spider, monkey, or sloth' but I know what I saw and feel lucky to have seen it! I remember my first thought was not fear but just I wish I had a film camera. The locals were shocked too. I hope they still exist out there."

The J'ba Fofi, also known as the Congolese Giant Spider, is a type of large arachnid cryptid said to inhabit the forests of the Congo.

Eyewitnesses have stated that the giant arachnids dig a shallow tunnel under tree roots and camouflage with a large screen of leaves. Then they create an almost invisible web between their burrow and a nearby tree, stringing the whole area with a network of trip lines. Some oblivious animal, that's likely soon to end up on the creature's menu, will trip the line alerting the spider. The victim will then be chased into the web. This type of predatory behavior is similar to that of several species of trap-door spiders.

Natives claim the J'ba FoFi eggs are pale yellow-white and shaped like peanuts, and the hatchlings are bright yellow with a purple abdomen. Their coloration becomes darker and brown as they mature. Some of the peoples indigenous to the regions in the Congo where the J'ba FoFi has been seen assert that the spider was once quite common, but has since become very rare.

The very first sighting of the J'ba FoFi by a western observer was in the 1890s near lake Nyasa, during which British missionary Arthur John Simes and his men came upon one of the creatures. His men got themselves tangled in an enormous web and two giant spiders which were two and four feet in length (male and female) came out of their web and attacked them. Simes was bitten but managed to escape after shooting one of them with his pistol. He subsequently developed symptoms including a deathly pallor, severe chills, and swelling around the area where he was bitten and became delirious before dropping into unconsciousness. He ultimately succumbed to these effects and died.

The fullest account by Westerners appears in a cryptozoological book by George Eberhart:

"R.K. Lloyd and his wife were motoring in the Belgian Congo in 1938 when they saw a large object crossing the trail in front of them. At first, they thought it was a cat or a monkey, but they soon realized it was a spider with legs nearly 3 feet."

Cryptozoologist William J. Gibbons has hunted for what some think may be a living Congolese dinosaur called Mokele-mbembe. On his third expedition in search of the creature, he came upon natives who related their experiences with giant spiders. He shared his experience with readers upon his return to Canada:

"On this third expedition to Equatorial Africa, I took the opportasked knew of such a giant spider, and indeed they did! They speak of the J'ba FoFi, which is a "giant" or "great spider." They described a spider that is generally brown in color with a purple mark on the abdomen. They grow to quite an enormous size with a leg span of at least five feet. The giant arachnids weave together a lair made of leaves similar in shape to a traditional pygmy hut, and spin a circular web (said to be very strong) between two trees with a strand stretched across a game trail."

"These giant ground-dwelling spiders prey on the diminutive forest antelope, birds, and other small game, and are said to be extremely dangerous, not to mention highly venomous," Gibbons states. "The spiders are said to lay white, peanut-sized eggs in a cluster, and the pygmies give them a wide berth when encountered, but have killed them in the past. The giant spiders were once very common but are now a rare sight."

A video surfaced on YouTube of an alleged J'ba FoFi caught on a night vision camera, near a waterhole next to a tree in Mozambique. The J'ba FoFi appears out of the darkness for a brief moment, while scurrying into the darkness on the far right side of the screen.

Many of the natives describe the spiders as once being numerous, but now a vanishing species. Encroachment by civilization in the form of rainforests being converted to farming land may have driven the spiders from their natural habitats. - Various sources

'I Saw the 'MISSISSIPPI MONKEY MAN' (VIDEO)

In a May 2009 video, a man (Michael Alvarado) talks about the night he encountered the 'Mississippi Monkey Man' during a late-night trip back from Norfolk, Virginia.

“It was a very hot summer night. I was coming back from Virginia Beach, and I and my girlfriend at the time were together by the time I got to Mississippi. I had left Virginia early in the morning in the car. By the time I got to Mississippi, Highway 59, it was already close to midnight, or maybe 1 in the morning. Highway 59 in eastern Mississippi is very, very lonely. You just have Highway 59 with the traffic going that way and the traffic coming this way, and you've got tall trees on both sides and nothing else. Maybe you might have a little rest area or a little Mom & Pop gas station every 15 or 20 miles. But in between there is nothing.

As I drove that night, I was tired and I was on the road from the morning, since the state of Virginia. My girlfriend was already asleep and my little boy was in the backseat. Because I'm a night person, I didn't have a problem staying awake. As I drove down that highway, on the side, I saw a man...a man walking, walking kinda fast, looking down. Very tall, loping man that I thought was wearing a coat. I thought, what in the hell is he doing here?, first of all, why in the hell is he wearing a damn coat on this hot Mississippi night? I said, "Honey, I saw a man walking all alone. I need to help him." She said, "Are you crazy?" I said, "No, I'm not going to offer him a ride, I'm going to give him some money so that way as soon as he gets to the next town he can get a room or buy himself a nice hot meal or whatever."


So I put the car in reverse to make sure that I wouldn't get ahead. I was already about 2000 feet ahead of him but I was going in reverse and he was closer to the woods. He was actually on the shoulder of the highway. I stopped the car and he stops. He looks at me and I notice a massive man, and my eyes are trying to adjust to the darkness of the night and I said, "Sir, Sir, I would like to offer you some money, Sir, so that way you could rent a room in the next town." He looks at me, and I realized I was not looking at a man. He made a loud, loud screeching sound that even today my ears hurt and then he ran into the woods. I was so horrified. I got in that car, and I said, "Honey..." I didn't say anything else. I put the car in first gear and I drove 85 miles an hour and my girlfriend was like, "What happened? What happened, Honey, what did he do to you?" I said, "Honey, it wasn't a man, it was Sasquatch. I just had an encounter with Bigfoot." Later on, I realized that there have been stories dating back to the 1800s and 1700s about the Mississippi Monkey Man. Stories passed on by the slave Indians, people from back then about the Mississippi Monkey Man.”

'MANTIS ALIENS In My Bedroom!' (Be Careful What You Wish For)

Originally reported in July 2018, an experiencer jokingly tells her husband that it would be awesome to have an alien encounter. Little did she know that her wish was about to come true!

"Just wanted to share an experience I had a couple months ago to see if anyone else could help me try and understand better what is going on and if anyone else has experienced something similar.

The date is between August 21, 2017 (solar eclipse) and August 31, 2017.

My husband and I woke around 3:00am to sounds outside our bedroom door. When we looked outside we found our dogs crying to be let in. But we had locked our dogs in their crate before going to bed and our backyard gate is locked as well. Jokingly my husband said, “I think aliens teleported the dogs outside.” And I said, “I hope so, that would be awesome.”

My husband put the dogs back in their crate and we went back to sleep, but within a few minutes our bedroom door opened again and when I turned to look, two little beings floated into the room. As soon as they saw me looking at them I was instantly knocked into paralysis and could not move at all. This also shifted time into a super slow-motion flow. I began to struggle and freak out and that seemed to then knock me out of my body into another plane or dimension. I could now move and when I rolled over to look up at this it had black-colored wind moving behind and around it in slow motion.

I never saw the second being that seemed to stand guard at the door, but I somehow knew it was there.

It was hard to focus on it because time seemed to slow way down and it was as if my vision would vibrate when I looked at it. It had an extremely white head shaped like a Chinese dragon mask. I thought it might be a mask at first with very protruding brows and forehead.

I then saw it had a very slim neck and a collar at the top of the suit it was wearing. It was grey and form-fitting with a belt or band in the middle.

The energy it was putting off was very unfamiliar to me and I did not like the feeling of it. I immediately noticed that I could feel myself outside of my body from above at the same time that I could feel it from below in bed. I could see and remember everything at the same time from both locations.

My instincts told me to create a protection field around my husband and me in bed and I pushed out this blue sphere of light around us from below. But as I was watching myself do this from above it looked like a flat blue circle instead of 3 dimensional.

I was really struggling from below to move and wake my husband up. I could start to feel myself swaying and trying to shake. From above the energy was so uncomfortable that I wanted to get out of the room immediately. I started floating out my door and then hovering above my pool outside. It was well-lit outside, not sure if it was close to a full moon or it was an artificial light from above.

I felt as if my body inside could almost break free from this paralysis when I was sucked back into my room and shot up in bed. I woke my husband up and said “they were just here, floating around like Peter Pan!”

He could also feel that something was off and didn’t quite know what was going on. He ended up getting our 9mm out and stayed up in the living room for the rest of the night. The time on the clock when this started was 3:23 and when I shot up in bed it was 4:14.

I wrote everything down to try and make sense of it all and a few months later my notes disappeared. I knew something was missing in that hour in between the beginning and the end of the experience so I went to hypnosis to try and recover my memories.

2.9.18 Hypnosis Session

There was an hour of time missing from the night the 2 beings came into my room and this is what came to the surface during my hypnosis session.

I felt sucked out of my bedroom and floated out above our pool outside thru our sliding glass door. I then remember being in an extremely bright white room that eventually turned into a large oval-shaped room with a metallic table in the center. I floated over to the table and realized that there were other beings in the room with me. They were very tall with white robes on and they looked like praying mantises. There were 2 or 3 of them, very big-looking heads. there is a strange hum to everything.

I then felt a warm golden light start to shine down on me from above and it seemed as if they were scanning me, downloading and uploading energy software or information. And then there were all kinds of lights that formed into small bubbles that seemed to have movies or videos playing inside of them floating all around me.

I then floated horizontally next to another being that I could not remember seeing (just knew it was guiding me) down a long corridor of openings, and then I remember being submerged in thick gel-like water.

It was pulsing with electricity and I felt my body being pulled outward as if being flattened with the waves of energy. The hum in the silence was very loud and I felt myself being pulled into a wormhole or tunnel. It was pumping me through it like an ocean current, 10ft forward, 3 ft back, and I felt like this light lead me back towards my bedroom. As I looked back up into this light there were 4 blue beings looking back down at me from above.


And then I shot up in bed in my room again, knowing instantly that the 2 beings were just in my room, floating around like Peter Pan right before all of this happened. It was as if I had floated above my pool and then was instantly sucked back into my room and body before recovering these memories during my hypnosis session.

I do remember other humans being in this place also, whether they were helping or being helped also. This place did not feel as if it existed in this reality or time or universe. It was somewhere completely separate and outside of everything.

After this experience, I went to a float tank on October 22, 2017, and had memories of being in a craft and traveling through wormholes out in the universe. That night I woke up to a violent episode where my eyes were banging around in my head so hard that I couldn't move without throwing up for hours in the bathroom and had to be taken to a vertigo specialist that diagnosed me with BPPV and I have had issues with it to this day still."

3 BIGFOOT Approach Campers Near MOUNT ST. HELENS IN 1938

In October 1938, 5 friends were making their annual camping trip to Mount St. Helens. On this trip, they encounter 3 giant hairy creatures that neither of them had ever seen or heard about.

The following account was forwarded to me:

"This is a Bigfoot encounter told to me by my grandfather. It happened in the early fall of 1938. He and his friends did a backpacking trip to a small remote lake near Mount St. Helens. They did this annually. One year they even summited the volcano during their yearly camping trip. 

This particular year there were five of them. The hike end took a couple of days back then. There weren't as many dirt roads built as there are now. They chose late summer and early fall when the berries were in season and the fish were usually biting well because they did not want to pack much food. It helped to lighten the load of their heavy backpacks.

My grandfather was a little over 20 years old during this backpacking trip. After the two-day hike to the lake, they set up camp and decided the next morning that my grandfather and another guy would try to catch some fish. The other three young men would go collect berries. The next morning they did just that. My grandfather walked to the far side of the lake and his friend was on the side nearer to camp.

The fish were biting and he had caught a few when all of a sudden he started to feel uneasy as if he were being watched. The hair on the back of his neck seemed to stand on end and then he got a whiff of a foul rotting stench. He started to look around and directly behind him only 20 to 30 feet away were three giant human-like creatures covered in dark brown hair from head to toe standing at the tree line. My grandfather was a large man around 6'4" and the smallest of the three creatures was just as tall as him, however, it was much wider at the shoulders and much thicker. According to what he was looking at the next creature was a foot taller and then the third was even a foot taller than that one, putting each of them at six feet or better. The next one was over seven feet and the other one was over eight feet tall.

He was overwhelmed with adrenaline from fear and panic. He wanted to run, however, these three giants staring at him were blocking the only direction that he could run. The only way he could get away would be to leap into the lake and swim. He decided his best option was to calm down and keep doing what he was doing. He cast in his line and began to fish again. Shortly after that, he caught another nice trout, and while reeling it in it dawned on him that these creatures may be here for his fish. He unhooked the trout and tossed it to them. The smallest of the three stepped away from the tree line and retrieved the trout and brought it back to the other two.

So he continued to toss fish to them. The smaller the three Bigfoot continued to retrieve the trout. After a while, he landed a really nice fourth trout. He went to toss it back to them but they were gone. He then grabbed his equipment and ran around the lake in the direction of the other friend. After finding him he said that they need to get the hell out of there and began to tell him what happened as they headed back to camp.

When they got to camp the other friends were already there picking up camp gear and in a hurry. They stated that they ran across three giant hairy creatures while out berry hunting. It took the group only a day to hike back out downhill.

They did not know what they had encountered. They had never heard of anything like that in the 1930s since the term Bigfoot had not been known.

After that trip, they never went back to Mount St. Helens. They changed the location of their yearly backpacking trip. My grandfather stated it wasn't until the 1967 Patterson / Gimlin Bigfoot film was shown in theaters across the nation that he finally had a name for the three giant creatures he had a close encounter with."
