Massachusetts Woman Encounters DOGMAN WITH HUMAN-LIKE EYES in Local Cemetery

A western Massachusetts woman is with friends at a local cemetery. She notices the shadow of something moving. She investigates and encounters a Dogman with human-like eyes.
I recently received the following account:
"I grew up in a small western Massachusetts town (Adams) below the Berkshires. It was July 4, 2017. I worked in a cafe in town and had to work during the holiday. My shift ended around five o'clock and I had plans to go to the Bellevue Cemetery with friends for some peace and quiet. I was tired of all the noise from the day and wasn't interested in fireworks that night.
I met up with everyone outside my house and we picked up some fast food before leaving. There are about five of us and we all started walking down to the cemetery eating and chatting as we made our way to the cemetery. The cemetery wasn't huge but it was big enough that we could find a quiet place to sit and hang out for a bit.
After we got there we were all settled under a tree. I relaxed and just listened while everyone else was talking. I was still reeling from work and how busy the day was for me. That's when I noticed something moving in the distance behind a few mausoleums. It was dark and I could only make out a shadow. I couldn't tell what I was looking at and figured an animal had come down from the mountain and wandered into town after smelling all the barbecuing. Then I saw whatever it was sprint from behind one mausoleum to the next. It was way too big to be a wolf or a mountain lion but too fast to be anything large like a bear. It startled me for a minute. I couldn't imagine any animal I could think of being out in the light of day like this. It made me nervous.
My friends noticed a change in the look on my face and asked me what was wrong. I didn't want to say I saw a big scary shadow running around the cemetery. I thought they'd make fun of me, so I just shrugged it off and said it was nothing. But I couldn't stop thinking about what I had seen.
Right then I saw the figure again. It sprinted back further into the cemetery, this time behind gravestones and then behind a tree. My curiosity got the best of me at this point and I played it off like I needed to walk. I headed off in the direction of the shadow when I saw it take off again. I noticed it had an unbelievably large head. I couldn't tell how tall it was but I knew it was bigger than any of us and the quick glance that I got at it reminded me of a man completely covered in hair. I just thought that my mind was playing tricks on me, but I was still curious.
I approached the mausoleum that it had been hiding behind. I looked down to be sure not to trip and froze. There in the dirt was an enormous footprint the size of my forearm and complete with claws right there in the soil. I started to panic, a little puzzled by something I didn't yet understand. I had never heard of a creature with a footprint so big in my whole life. I proceeded with caution towards the tree that it had ducked behind. I just needed to know if I was crazy or if we were actually in danger. I got to the tree and found nothing behind it. No one was crouching or hiding from us.
That's when a cluster of leaves fell from the tree above and hit me on their way down. I heard a loud rustling too. There was no breeze. I slowly lifted my head to look up. There, glaring down at me, was a hideous dog creature with eyes shaped like a human but amber-colored and terrifyingly piercing! This dog creature was as long as the branch it was laying on as it slowly growled at me.
I ran back to my friends and told them we had to go immediately. They protested at first but then one of them caught a glimpse of the creature jumping down from the tree. She didn't get a good look at it only a shadow and all she could tell was that it was huge. We all grabbed our things and made our way out of the cemetery. The friend that had seen the shadow asked me what it was. I played it off saying I didn't see the shadow, only signs of a coyote circling around, and felt scared. I didn't describe the dog creature or acknowledge it.
I no longer live in the area and haven't heard of any encounters with the dog creature since my encounter. Maybe it went into the mountains and stayed there." LK
NOTE: I contacted the eyewitness and talked to her about the incident. Lon

Eyewitnesses Report REPTILIAN HUMANOID Encounters (PHOTO)

Different accounts of Reptilian encounters and sightings found or reported to me over the years. One account was called into Coast to Coast AM while I was a guest.
“This happened in 2008 in Sierra Vista, Arizona which is about 15 minutes from the Mexican border. I had been homeless for about six months at that point and was drifting throughout the southwest.
So the usual schedule for me was to be awake until sunrise. The nights were cold and staying moving kept me warm, and the first rays of sunlight were so warm that I was able to sleep. I would only sleep for a little bit before I was back up and hitting a local charity for lunch. Cat nap through dinner, wake back up as the sun goes down, and wander through the desert to stay warm until sunrise.
I run you through my schedule so that you know this thing happened during my normal operating hours while I was fully awake. It’s not possible that it was a dream, and not likely to be my imagination.
So I had two routes. During the day I would be in town so I would be unarmed, but I had a straight edge sword back in my burrow that I had bought when I had a job and a car, and a house. During the night I wandered the desert, and would often be exploring far enough out that I could no longer even see the lights in town, so I would wear my sword sheathed on my back. A ‘just in case’ measure and I’d really only ever used it to carve up yucca stalks for the roof of my burrow.
So, here’s what I saw.
I’m walking along, following the edge of a small wash, twirling a stick I found. I’d walked for about an hour to get there, so I was probably a good five or so miles from any human on the planet. I hear a thump thump from up ahead, but there are some scruffy bushes ahead so I can’t see anything. Not wanting to sneak up on something dangerous like a mother javelina or bear, I take my stick and smack the nearest tree a couple times. Thumping stops, and about 30 feet ahead of me I see a head poke up from behind a bush.
A head I’ve seen before? Well, kind of? It had big eyes and tufty bits on it and was basically set up like any other primate face, but it also looked almost, well, reptilian.
So I did what any normal person would do and grabbed my sword handle and yanked it. Well, it doesn’t really work like that. I yanked it forward and accidentally broke the strap that kept the sheath on my back.
So here I am brandishing a sheathed sword at a lizard being, five miles from nowhere, and it stands up to a full height of four feet. Then it sprints away from me with this ostrich-like gait that was more awkward to watch than it was scary.” NM

“I was calling about the Carthage Underground. That Carthage Underground, I haven't been in there since 1996, we used to be able to drive in there and it was a huge cave. It's a man-made cave, it's not a natural cave. They've used it for offices, for storing food. It's really cool in there. I don't know what it is now but it's all locked up and secure now so you can't get in there.
Anyway, in 1996, I drove through there and it does have a little bit of a creep factor to it, but one time I stopped by the Walmart in Carthage and I walked over there. I was in line and I got a couple of items. Somebody behind me had stuff up on the counter and I just looked at it and I thought, oh, they must be going camping because it looked like stuff you would use for camping. But I noticed this tremendous odor and I thought, what in the world is that odor. I can't even describe it, it was so bad. And I turned around and I looked at the man behind me and he was really tall, wearing dark clothes, and had dark hair but his eyes were slits. I mean they were... I mean I got the biggest creep factor. I just thought he was pure evil. At the time, I didn't associate it with aliens or UFOs or anything like that but at the time I thought it was a demon because I was so creeped out. That was around the same time that I had been over in that cave.”
NOTE: This is from a call I received during an appearance on Coast to Coast AM on May 31, 2015. I later reposted the original account on the blog. Lon

2 separate accounts of Reptilian encounters, including an interesting photograph of a supposed being in a blue flight suit and a possible craft.
These 2 accounts describe possible encounters with Reptilian beings:
Olympia, Washington - 2019-01-28: I was driving through a heavily wooded area approximately 30 minutes from west Olympia. I heard gibberish and a loud yell. I stopped my car and took a picture at the base of a drop-off, there were 3 beings. 1 in a small triangular ship. 1 next to the ship and one near a tree to the right. There were also two dead deer. They saw me so I jumped back in my car and drove away.
There is no road access to where they were. There was a tall grey on the right. A tall reptilian looking one in the craft. It had a helmet on and one next to the craft with a big white-colored head and long neck. It was wearing a blue astronaut/suit (image below). It appeared to have a smaller being or human in the back seat strapped in.
This was very real and scary. - MUFON

-----
Magnolia, Delaware - 11/30/2020 - 10:15 AM: I was walking my dog through my neighborhood which is surrounded by dense woods on all sides on 30 November around 10:15 am. We came to the pond and I noticed all the geese were lined up in a straight row next to the street which was very unusual so I decided to take a picture of them. At this time my dog became very upset, and scared, and was jumping up on my leg for me to pick up. I was trying to control him and continue our walk.
We proceeded on several more yards and I took another picture of the trees on a hill next to the pond. At this point my dog is so upset he was literally pulling me and running so we ran all the way back to my house. I looked at the two pictures and was shocked to see the first picture of the geese, as to the left of them was a massive, dark, solid circular shape, looming probably to my best guess 800 feet or higher and maybe as wide or more, sitting on the ground and behind some trees, in the woods.
The second picture shows a large reptilian type being high in the trees above the large green tree where I can see its head, shoulders, and arms. I got in my car and drove right back to this area and took pictures again of both areas and both the suspected UFO and reptilian being we’re both gone. Later that day I went back to this site with an EMF detector and it continued to spike large numbers in this area. This possible UFO also was sitting right next to the Tidewater Tower and propulsion building, making me wonder if it was garnishing energy of some type. It also looked as if trees and leaves were burned. I have checked my body and do not see any initial marks and do not believe I was abducted. - MUFON (original photos were not included).

Was BIGFOOT IMAGE CAPTURED in Uncompahgre National Forest, Colorado?

A Google Earth image appeared on a subreddit recently that apparently shows a Bigfoot walking near a Colorado forest. The photo capture is in a remote part of the Uncompahgre National Forest in the state of Colorado. This general area is well-known for reported Bigfoot activity, which I have posted previously. Here are the map coordinates.
I first reported this sighting in November 2020
Take a look and tell me what you think. Lon

A Canadian Armed Forces soldier describes the day that he witnessed a Sasquatch suddenly ambush and harvest a white-tailed deer while he was stationed in Alberta, Canada.
I recently received the following account:
"I'm a 62-year-old man who has seen lots of things in my life. My mother and my grandmother were Cree natives. My mother told me one day a story from her grandmother about the Wendigo and how it related to our people. She would always warn me to beware of the Wendigo.
I joined the Canadian Armed Forces when I came of age. My folks drove me to the gate to walk into my new life. My mom told me, "I am proud of you my son. I'm sure you will do well. Just be careful when you are out in the wild. Watch for the Wendigo."
After my basic training, I was sent on a tradesmen course and then to my first post. I was assigned to the Special Service Forces in Petawawa, Ontario as a communication specialist since my job included fixing telecommunication equipment. I had a top-secret security clearance. We trained hard when I was there and I was ready to go head-to-head with whatever enemy I would encounter in my missions.
One day in December we were transported via helicopter on a mountaintop close to Algonquin Provincial Park for a week of winter warfare courses. During this week of training, we each had to do guard duty at night. On one of those nights at around 2:00 AM, I started hearing strange voices down the mountain. That night the temperature was around minus 30 degrees Fahrenheit. At first, I checked to see that everyone was sleeping in their tents. They were all accounted for. I scanned the area to see if I could locate someone. There was nobody there at least no one that I could see with my military-issue flashlight.
I continued hearing those voices for a while. So I decided to call out to whoever was there. "Hello. Who goes there? You're on a Canadian Armed Forces Base. Identify yourself." No answer. I kept looking for whatever might be there but I was still hearing those voices that sounded Asian. Some came from the right, others from the left. They seemed like they were having some kind of conversation. Since it was a training and learning exercise we had no ammo in our weapons. Not knowing what to expect I did the second-best thing I could do. I fixed the bayonet and kept walking around the camp.
The voices stopped after a while. I was wondering who in the right mind would hike into the wilderness for at least 20 miles in such miserable weather just to pull up a prank on us. That week they closed down the base two times because it was so cold. Of course, we stayed on a mountaintop. It was part of the training they said.
My replacement came after a while and when he showed up the first thing he asked me was what I was doing with the bayonet on my weapon. I didn't want to say I was hearing voices down below us. I told him it was so cold that I decided to do some drill movements to warm myself up. I don't know if he believed me.
The next month there was a huge military exercise in Wainwright, Alberta. The entire brigade ended up there. One day I was going on a call with my partner to do a repair on a piece of equipment that was out in the middle of nowhere. We had been driving for about 45 minutes in deep snow and could not find the equipment. I was driving and decided to stop and check our location to find our target. My partner was looking at a topographical map while I was trying to see if I could locate a reference point.
On our right, there was a forested area with pine and underbrush. On the left, there was an open field. At about a hundred feet from the tree line at my 10 o'clock position, there was a large white-tailed buck foraging in the snow. The deer was facing us and looking out in our direction. Then, out of nowhere, a huge creature blasted out of the tree line and aimed directly toward the grazing deer. It took less time for the beast to cover the approximate 100 feet of the deer than it took for me to tell my partner to look. The beast grabbed the deer by the head. It was taller than the deer by about 2 feet. It was reddish-brown in color with very wide shoulders. The head was pointed and was set on the shoulders without a neck. The arms were long and muscled. The legs were like 55-gallon drums and the body was covered with long hair. I wish I had more time to look at it and get more details but everything went so fast! As soon as the beast reached the deer it placed one hand on the top of the deer's head and the other at the back of the neck, then twisted it like it was a rag! Without even stopping it headed back into the woods with the deer over its shoulder. I put the truck in gear and said, "Let's get out of here!"
My partner managed to find the trail leading to our destination and we found the equipment. When we made our way back to the bivouac area my sergeant asked me if everything went okay. I told him I don't know what I saw on our way to the other location but it was pretty freaky. He looked at me and said that he didn't want to hear about it, so I kept it to myself and I walked away.
As time went on, and as I grew older, I realized that I had witnessed a Sasquatch harvest that deer.
I had a nice career in the Army. I did some missions and went on several UN peacekeeping missions throughout the world. I saw a lot of strange animals and witnessed many unusual situations. But that beast in Alberta was the one that I will never forget!" HJ

Massive WHITE 'PUTTY-WINGED' HUMANOID Jettisons Into the Sky
Two friends in Alabama are driving home late at night when they encounter a massive white humanoid standing in the middle of the road. It unfurls 'putty-like' wings and jettisons into the sky.
“I guess it was the summer of 2010, maybe 2011. A friend and I went to GameStop. It was during the times when video games were important in our lives and we went there for a midnight release. So I guess we picked up the game somewhere around 12 o'clock, a little after. GameStop's about 20 minutes from my house in Attalla, Alabama. My family owns 180 acres. It's on a road called Ponderosa Road.So we leave from Gamestop and we're headed home. We got a night planned of just playing the game, so we're pumped up. So you go through a hollow across the Bridge Windy Road but you're heading upwards to get to our house. We're all on top of that mountain, as we call it, so there's a bit in the road, a single-lane road. I'd say it's probably 10 feet wide.
Well as we're coming up the hill I don't have my brights on. I mean I could drive that road in the dark. I've done it before when my headlights went out but I didn't have my brights on. I'm just making my way to the house and we go down a dip in the road and as we go up the next hill I noticed something in the middle of the road. I just see something white, almost as wide as you would expect a human...about as wide as a human is. The only way I know to explain it. So I hit my brakes and my light illuminates it. It was a human form but it happened so quickly that I don't know any other way to explain it. It was way taller than a human should be. My uncle played professional baseball and he's almost seven feet tall. So is my Dad. They're big wide guys and this thing would have made them, you know, look small. I couldn't even see shoulders. It was just like the bottom part of something white and human-like. But the crazy thing was, when we saw it, as soon as I hit the brakes, it all happened so quickly. I can't tell if it had wings and threw its wings out that were larger than 10 feet - how wide the road is - larger than the road is. It literally stretched its body out. I know that sounds crazy, but almost like it was putty, that's what it was more like than wings. It just, like, got extremely wide and then skinny again and shot straight up into the air.
I looked at my friend and asked him, "Hey, man, did you see that?" I knew he saw it I just wanted to make sure I wasn't crazy and he said, "Yeah, I saw it." We just didn't know what to do. I mean it was close to my driveway, so we just pull into the house. I was like, "Man, what was that?" He said, "You know, I don't have a clue." It was just really odd. We got into the house made sure we locked the doors and pulled the curtains on the windows.
I still don't know to this day what it could have been. I think about it from time to time especially out working late on the railroad. [It was] a clear night. I mean, no fog, warm summer night. I don't understand and you know I've brought it up to the guy that was with me since then and he still says, "I don't really know and I don't like to talk about it."I didn't really feel scared. It just happened so fast, I didn't know what it was. I still don't know what it was. I just don't know if I'll ever know.”

Multiple Witnesses Report FLYING HUMANOID Over Waukegan, Illinois Lakefront

A family of 6 members observed a black flying humanoid above them near the Lake Michigan lakefront in August 2020 in Waukegan, Illinois. Another sighting was reported nearby a few months later.
I recently received the following eyewitness account:
"Hi...let me start off by saying this. I believe that someone or something flies around Waukegan, Illinois. It was August 2020. My father had just passed away and the lakefront has / will always be a big part of our lives, from a kid until my 30s. I've lived by the lake and it has always had a strange feeling to it.
My mother, 2 nieces, and 2 nephews were with us and we decided to go to another side of where you normally go to the lake, just as something different. You know, exploring just trying to clear our minds after Covid and the loss of our loved one. We had heard the stories about the winged humanoids. I've made sure the kids know that there are things we can't explain in the area.
In the middle of a hot Saturday afternoon in Waukegan we all looked up to see what actually looked like 'Ironman' in the sky. We didn't see wings, just a dark black shape of a man. It was not normal. We all joked it was the 'Mothman,' but it didn't click until I just read the story of Bowen Park in Waukegan which happen a couple of months after our experience in 2020, not too far away from the lake and power plant.
I do believe in ghosts and tons of other things. I know things around here are weird. I don't know if this helps, but I finally had to tell someone. Thanks" SM
NOTE: I talked to the eyewitness in order to get more information about the sighting. The description was of a 6-7 foot long human-like being with a small head. There were no visible wings, but there was detail to the body even though it was solid black in color. The witnesses could make out the body contour, even well-defined chest (pectoral) muscles as it flew over them. The speed was not constant as it would hover occasionally. It did seem to be a living being since the legs and arms would change position.
The location was about 500 feet from the lakefront on Market St. just south of the Waukegan Harbor. It was a clear sunny day at about 2 PM. There were 6 witnesses who all saw the flying humanoid and similarly described it. Lon

Boston Couple Encounters 3 MEN IN BLACK After Observing UFO Over Their Home

A Boston, Massachusetts couple observes a UFO in the sky outside of their residence. Not long after, a black SUV pulls up in front of their home, and 3 persons dressed in black appear.
Boston, Massachusetts - 12/06/2022 2:00 AM - A couple weeks ago, my sister and her boyfriend were surfing the internet, watching videos on astronauts seeing UFOs and other theories surrounding aliens, such as plane pilots encountering UFOs. My sister is a huge believer in anything paranormal, that must be where I got it from.
About four nights ago, my sister and her boyfriend went out to smoke a cigarette around 2:30 AM. They were looking up at the moon and talking about how those astronauts in the videos they watched weeks ago really have no reason to lie about UFO sightings and how crazy it must have been for them. Within less than five seconds of talking about that out loud, they were peering up in the sky and saw an orb-like bright light was so bright the light illuminated their faces as if in the presence of fireworks. It was going upwards in the sky, not in a completely straight path but was swerving a little and going upwards. There were a few spark-like elements coming from the bottom of the craft, and the craft itself was visible for about three seconds before it completely disappeared. The craft was completely silent and appeared pretty close, way too close to be a plane or some type of shooting star. They thought it could've been a comet, but also too close to be that, or a meteor landing on earth but it was traveling upward and also disappeared.
My sister said the size of it was about the size of a streetlight from the ground's point of view but she couldn't make out the shape of the object because it was so bright. It was close to them that they narrowed it down to being a UFO. Both she and her boyfriend saw it which means one of them wasn't hallucinating. They were pretty scared, considering the fact that just seconds before the UFO appeared they were talking about alien encounters, they felt as if whatever it was heard them talking about that and wanted to prove their existence. It was more than just a coincidence.
They went inside afterward stunned, not believing or knowing exactly what they saw. My sister admitted to me that she thought it was cool to finally see a UFO for the first time. After about 45 minutes, her boyfriend wanted another cigarette, and as hesitant as they were to go back outside, they went anyway.
After about two minutes of being outside the second time, a black sedan SUV pulled up across the street, seemingly out of nowhere with absolutely no sounds. A man in all black came out and opened the trunk of the SUV, turned around, and began to stare at them. They could tell he was dressed in black but couldn't make out his face. Within seconds of this, she and her boyfriend noticed two other men in black standing at the end of the street, one house down from where they lived, kind of swaying back and forth as if they were trying to make out who or what they were. It seemed as if they were more intrigued by seeing my sister and her boyfriend than they were to see the men in black. My sister described them as also wearing all-black attire, and couldn't see their faces or even their skin color despite being only one house down from where they were standing. They were all blurred out and did not have distinct facial features. It was also almost 3:30 AM at this point. The MIB weren't talking to each other, smoking, or doing anything that made sense. They were just staring at them as was the guy with the trunk open to his SUV across the street. She said it gave her a very fearful, ominous impression.
As soon as that happened she grabbed her boyfriend's hand and sprinted inside the house, fearing that if she wasn't physically touching him he could've mysteriously disappeared somewhere behind her as they were running. She has not been able to sleep, turn off any lights, and doesn't feel safe being alone. She tried contacting the police authorities, but they basically told her they only take crime reports and not UFO reports. My sister said this is the scariest thing she has ever encountered, the UFO sighting was scary enough, but the strange MIB who just so happened to be staring at them so late in the middle of the night was even more terrifying. People had asked her why she didn't record the men with her phone, and she said she was way too scared to stick around to find out what would happen if she did.
What was the strange UFO she spotted in the sky with her boyfriend? And who were the men in black who happened to appear in the same area within less than an hour? If anyone has had a similar experience or encounter, please let us know! NUFORC

The Mysterious JEANNE d'ARC and the Saint's Satanist

Gilles de Montmorency-Laval (1404–1440), Baron de Rais, was a Breton knight, a leader in the French army, and a companion-in-arms of Joan of Arc. He is best known as a prolific serial killer of children. His name was later connected with the story of Bluebeard.
At an early age, Rais distinguished himself militarily, fighting first in the wars of succession to the duchy of Brittany (1420) and then for the duchess of Anjou against the English in 1427. He was assigned to Joan of Arc’s guard and fought several battles at her side, including the relief of Orléans in 1429. He accompanied her to Reims for the consecration of Charles VII, who made him marshal of France. He continued to serve in Joan of Arc’s special guard and was at her side when Paris was attacked. After her capture, he retired to his lands in Brittany.
Rais had inherited extensive domains from both his father and his maternal grandfather (Guy de Laval and Jean de Craon, respectively) and had also married a rich heiress, Catherine de Thouars (1420). He kept a more lavish court than the king, dissipating his wealth on the decoration of his châteaux and the maintenance of a large train of servants, heralds, and priests. He was a munificent patron of music, literature, and pageants, one of which he figured (The Mystery of Orléans). When his family secured a decree from the king in July 1435, restraining him from selling or mortgaging the rest of his lands, he turned to alchemy. He also developed an interest in Satanism, hoping to gain knowledge, power, and riches by invoking the devil. He was later accused of having abducted, tortured, and murdered more than 140 children.
Rais was arrested in September 1440 and brought to trial in Nantes, first before an ecclesiastical tribunal under the direction of the bishop of Nantes and then before a civil court. At first, he refused to plead to the charges, but, when threatened with ex-communication, he recognized the court’s authority and declared himself not guilty.

In 1438, according to testimony at his trial from the priest Eustache Blanchet and the cleric François Prelati, de Rais sent out Blanchet to seek individuals who know alchemy and demon summoning. Blanchet contacted Prelati in Florence and convinced him to take service with his master. Having reviewed the magical books of Prelati and a traveling Breton, de Rais chose to initiate experiments, the first being in the lower hall of his castle at Tiffauges, to summon a demon named Barron. de Rais provided a contract with the demon for riches that Prelati was to give to the demon at a later time. As no demon manifested after three tries, the Marshal grew frustrated with the lack of results. Prelati responded the demon summoned, named Barron, was angry and required the offering of parts of a child. de Rais provided these remnants in a glass vessel at a future invocation. All of this was to no avail, and the occult experiments left him bitter and with a severely depleted wealth.
In his confession, Gilles maintained the first assaults on children occurred between spring 1432 and spring 1433. The first murders occurred at Champtocé-sur-Loire; however, no account of these murders survives. Shortly after, Gilles moved to Machecoul where, as the record of his confession states, he killed, or ordered to be killed, a great but uncertain number of children after he sodomized them. Forty bodies were discovered in Machecoul in 1437.
The first documented case of child-snatching and murder concerns a boy of 12 called Jeudon, an apprentice to the furrier Guillaume Hilairet. Gilles de Rais' cousins, Gilles de Sillé and Roger de Briqueville, asked the furrier to lend them the boy to take a message to Machecoul, and, when Jeudon did not return, the two noblemen told the inquiring furrier that they were ignorant of the boy's whereabouts and suggested he had been carried off by thieves at Tiffauges to be made into a page. In Gilles de Rais' trial, the events were testified to by Hillairet and his wife, Jean Jeudon and his wife, and five others from Machecoul.
In his 1971 biography of Gilles de Rais[image error], Jean Benedetti tells how the children who fell into Rais's hands were put to death:
[The boy] was pampered and dressed in better clothes than he had ever known. The evening began with a large meal and heavy drinking, particularly hippocras, which acted as a stimulant. The boy was then taken to an upper room to which only Gilles and his immediate circle were admitted. There he was confronted with the true nature of his situation. The shock thus produced on the boy was an initial source of pleasure for Gilles.
Gilles' body-servant Étienne Corrillaut, known as Poitou, was an accomplice in many of the crimes and testified that his master hung his victims with ropes from a hook to prevent the child from crying out, then masturbated upon the child's belly or thighs. Taking the victim down, Rais comforted the child and assured him he only wanted to play with him. Gilles then either killed the child himself or had the child killed by his cousin Gilles de Sillé, Poitou or another body-servant called Henriet. The victims were killed by decapitation, cutting of their throats, dismemberment, or breaking of their necks with a stick. A short, thick, double-edged sword called a braquemard was kept at hand for the murders. Poitou further testified that Rais sometimes abused the victims (whether boys or girls) before wounding them and at other times after the victim had been slashed in the throat or decapitated. According to Poitou, Rais disdained the victim's sexual organs, and took "infinitely more pleasure in debauching himself in this manner ... than in using their natural orifice, in the normal manner."
In his own confession, Gilles testified that “when the said children were dead, he kissed them and those who had the most handsome limbs and heads he held up to admire them, and had their bodies cruelly cut open and took delight at the sight of their inner organs; and very often when the children were dying he sat on their stomachs and took pleasure in seeing them die and laughed”.
Poitou testified that he and Henriet burned the bodies in the fireplace in Gilles' room. The clothes of the victim were placed into the fire piece by piece so they burned slowly and the smell was minimized. The ashes were then thrown into the cesspit, the moat, or other hiding places.
On 15 May 1440, Rais kidnapped a cleric during a dispute at the Church of Saint-Étienne-de-Mer-Morte. The act prompted an investigation by the Bishop of Nantes, during which evidence of Gilles' crimes was uncovered. On July 29, the Bishop released his findings, and subsequently obtained the prosecutorial cooperation of Rais's former protector, Jean V, the Duke of Brittany. Rais and his bodyservants Poitou and Henriet were arrested on 15 September 1440 following a secular investigation which paralleled the findings of the investigation from the Bishop of Nantes. Rais's prosecution would likewise be conducted by both secular and ecclesiastical courts, on charges which included murder, sodomy, and heresy.
The extensive witness testimony convinced the judges that there were adequate grounds for establishing the guilt of the accused. After Rais admitted to the charges on 21 October, the court canceled a plan to torture him into confessing. Peasants of the neighboring villages had earlier begun to offer up accusations that since their children had entered Gilles' castle begging for food they had never been seen again. The transcript, which included testimony from the parents of many of these missing children as well as graphic descriptions of the murders provided by Gilles' accomplices, was said to be so lurid that the judges ordered the worst portions to be stricken from the record.
The precise number of Gilles' victims is not known, as most of the bodies were burned or buried. The number of murders is generally placed between 80 and 200; a few have conjectured numbers upwards of 600. The victims ranged in age from six to eighteen and included both sexes.
On 23 October 1440, the secular court heard the confessions of Poitou and Henriet and condemned them both to death followed by Gilles' death sentence on 25 October. Gilles was allowed to make a confession and his request to be buried in the church of the monastery of Notre-Dame des Carmes in Nantes was granted.

Execution by hanging and burning was set for Wednesday 26 October. At nine o‘clock, Gilles and his two accomplices made their way in procession to the place of execution on the Ile de Biesse. There, Gilles addressed the throng of onlookers with contrite piety and exhorted Henriet and Poitou to die bravely and think only of salvation. Gilles' request to be the first to die had been granted the day before. At eleven o'clock the brush at the platform was set afire and Rais was hanged on a gibbet above a pyre, but when the fire burned through the rope the body was snatched from the flames by several ladies of his family, who prepared it for burial with their own hands, and it was then interred in the Carmelite church close by. His two associates were also hanged, their bodies being burned and the ashes scattered.
On the spot where Gilles was executed, his daughter erected a monument, to which came to all nursing mothers to pray for an abundance of milk. Here again, is a strong suggestion that he was regarded as the Incarnate God of fertility. Another suggestive fact is the length of time - nine years - which elapsed between the death of Joan and the death of Gilles. This is a usual interval when the Incarnate God is given a time limit.
NOTE: In the title Blood Red, Sister Rose[image error], Thomas Keneally's fictional account of Gilles' and Joan's special relationship, some suggest that there is more truth than speculation. By all historical accounts, the bond between Gilles and Joan was a very close one. She obtained permission from the King to choose whom she would for her escort; her choice at once fell on Gilles, for she would naturally prefer those of her own faith. He held already a high command in the relieving, force, and added the protection of Joan as a special part of his duties. Later on, even after he had reached the high position of Marshal of France, he still continued those duties, remaining with her all day when she was wounded at the assault on Paris. Lon

In this Phantoms & Monsters Radio episode, I welcome 'Expanded Perspectives' Podcast hosts Kyle Philson & Cam Hale as we discuss various paranormal, mysterious, and unexplained subjects. Please like, subscribe, and comment.
Kyle Philson was born in Fort Worth, Texas. His mother and father were lifelong residents of New Jersey and moved south only a few years before his birth to seek a better living. Growing up in rural Texas in a small town outside of Dallas/Ft. Worth Metroplex, Kyle spent a lot of time in the woods hunting, fishing and camping. His father and uncles first sparked his early interest in the paranormal. Watching shows like Unsolved Mysteries and In Search Of along with reading numerous books by John Keel and Ivan T. Sanderson, Kyle became fascinated by UFOs, Bigfoot, time slips, and parallel universes. Keeping an open mind and exploring these topics, he strives to present these stories and experiences shared by only a few in a fun and light-hearted way. Kyle currently lives in Texas with his wife and three sons.
Cam Hale was born and raised in Texas and comes from a long family heritage of Texans that can be traced back to before the Lone Star State gained its independence. Growing up in a rural country town he spent the majority of his time outdoors. Receiving his first taste of archery at the age of 5, he started down a path that lead him on solo camping and hunting trips across the state as well as many other states. Like most, his fascination with the strange and unusual started young with shows like In Search Of and Unsolved Mysteries. Diving deeper into these subjects at his local library only fueled the flames that led him to where he is today. With an open mind and adventurous heart, Cam looks to present the stories of the strange in a fun and intriguing manner. Cam still lives in the great state of Texas with his wife and two children.

The Venus Gospel: An Account of George Adamski’s 1963 Visit to Denmark and Belgium - Part V
The Venus Gospel: An Account of George Adamski’s 1963 Visit to Denmark and Belgium - Part V
By Raymond A. Keller, Ph.D., a.k.a. “Cosmic Ray,” the author of the international awards-winning Venus Rising Series, published by Headline Books and available on Amazon.com, while supplies last.
Venus Rising: A Concise History of the Second Planet
Final Countdown: Rockets to Venus
Lady Columba Venus Revelations
Flying Saucers and the Venus Legacy
Precarious Economic Situation
In the world’s then most noted contactee, George Adamski’s concluding remarks to those flying saucer enthusiasts assembled at the 5 May 1963 conference of the Scandinavian UFO Information (SUFOI) group in Denmark, he emphasized the importance of heeding the messages of our brothers and sisters from Venus and the other planets of the Galactic Federation insofar as the peoples of Earth needed to keep their eyes focused on surviving the dangerous age of uncertainty in which they found themselves bogged down in, especially their precarious economic situation.
“The economy of the world today is shaking; and we all know it,” declared Adamski, further stating that, “In previous years, we could resort to wars to build it up through destruction and reconstruction; but in these days with the power that we have of annihilation there is no other way out and there is only one answer. When we start building spaceships, whether for research or going to other planets, this condition will be relieved. For all of the ships will have to be built on Earth, including the instruments and everything needed. Then the economy will be stabilized and learned individuals do not fight.”
Of course, in the United States, we, as American citizens, can be proud that our National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) was founded on July 28, 1958 for the express purpose of the peaceful exploration of outer space. According to NASA spokesman Brian Dunbar, https://www.nasa.gov/specials/value-o..., the American taxpayer receives an exceptional value in return for every half cent collected out of every tax dollar and allotted to their organization. For example, one reads on the aforementioned-site that, “NASA funding helps small businesses research new ideas and develop innovative aeronautics, human exploration, science, and space technology solutions. Our partnerships fuel growth in industries that will define the future, such as artificial intelligence and advanced manufacturing.” The visionary Adamski foresaw all of these marvelous benefits resulting from our continued space exploration.
Section V
George Adamski pointed out: “That will be the first time in the history of this civilization that the economy will begin to stabilize and become firm towards space and satisfy humankind’s desire to travel to distant stars. And people will want to go further and continue exploring. Humans will keep on moving and every step they make will call for improvements on the spacecraft and instruments which will be made here. Humankind will have a secure economy and, in the research, will bring out many wonderful things. Even today (in 1963), we already have some of these that will eventually allow every person to live like a queen or king in a world of robot servers. This world is waiting for us to go forward towards that goal, a world that is just a little way off. There will be plenty of time then for everyone to develop themselves. This is really the plan.”
This is quite in line with what futurist Dr. Michael Salla predicted, that there is a veritable “Star Trek future” awaiting all of us as we collectively move beyond the confines of this planet.

Economic System of Abundance
In an interview conducted by the Mount Shasta, California, Promise Revealed director, Robert Potter, with Moonbase Clarion Commander Aura Rhanes on 20 November 2019 at Cheat Lake, West Virginia, he asked her the following question:
Q. 8.) I realize money as we think of it does not exist on Venus and that your society works as one mind in accordance with natural laws. What can you tell us about how we can achieve the abundance and prosperity enjoyed by the Venusian society here on the Earth?
Commander Rhanes replied: Again, it seems to me that a false belief is coming into play. Economic problems on Earth ARE largely due to false beliefs that are imposed by the leaders on this planet, and it's in many fields that, “there is only so much that can go around.”
This means that your people must fight over the crumbs of the pie, let alone getting a full slice of the pie, which, of course, can only be enjoyed by the oligarchs.
On Venus, we long ago determined that the solution of this problem is to bake more pies so that everyone can be satisfied.
Credits are based on what we can do to help our sisters and brothers meet their needs.
On Venus, we even have a Department of Happiness to oversee this process.
Continue in the Light of Venus.
This is Commander Aura Rhanes. Blessings to all in the ultimate Victory of the Light.
