'Human-Faced Dog' (Possible Jinmenken) Encountered in US Midwest

A US Midwest woman is outside hanging laundry when she encounters a 'human-face dog, possibly a Jinmenken-like cryptid. She was overwhelmed and became nauseous.

The following account was posted on my Phantoms & Monsters social media:

"This is an absolutely true account. I will never, ever tell anyone about it using my real name because I know how it's going to sound. It happened in June 1983, in the midwestern US, where I live. I was 20 years old and living alone with my cat. I was outside, hanging laundry one beautiful afternoon and my cat, who was a kitten at the time, was playing in a large basket where I could keep an eye on him.

At one point, the hair on the back of my neck stood up, just out of the blue. I turned around and looked behind me and there was nothing amiss, except my kitten had gotten out of the basket and was standing stock-still, looking toward the home nearby.

My house was next to two duplexes, which were facing the street that ran alongside. Between those duplexes was a wide gravel drive where people would pull in and then turn into their carports. On this gravel drive, I saw a dog. It was facing away from me, facing that side street. My first thought was, "Crap, it's going to go after my cat." So I scooped up my kitten and watched the dog to make sure it left. It didn't.

The hair on my arms was now standing straight up and in the middle of June, there was a chill breeze that seemed to just come from nowhere and go right through my cotton blouse. Then...the dog turned. Slowly. Deliberately, almost. It turned and faced me and I swear to God this is what I saw.

It was the face of a bearded man. Not just a sort of man-like face or the face of a dog born with a deformity. This was the absolute face of an angry man, with a full beard and his mouth was open, as if he was yelling at me, but no sound came out. My blood simply froze in my veins and I actually threw up, then and there, all over my fresh laundry.

It seemed like forever but it must have been only 30 seconds or so as whatever the hell that was looked at me. Only when it started walking toward me, angry mouth agape, that I collected my wits and ran into the house with my cat, leaving the laundry in the yard. I locked the doors and hid in my bathroom that had a window that looked over my backyard, dreading seeing that thing come into my yard. But it never did.

After an hour or so, I grabbed a baseball bat and went back outside. I looked everywhere. The thing had gone. No tracks. Nothing out of order. My laundry was still in the yard, having blown around a bit, but it was all there.

I never saw that thing again. I don't know what it was and the closest thing I can find on it is the Japanese cryptid they call "Jinmenken." I find dog-faced men stories but not the other way around. That was 1983. I've never told a soul about it. Not even my husband, who was my fiance at the time this happened.

I know how it sounds. I'm completely sane, though, and I know what I saw. Even today, every time I think of it (which isn't often anymore), I feel my skin crawl and I get a bit nauseated again. Whatever that was, it felt evil. Not just scary-looking....but evil. The hair on the back of my neck was standing up even before I turned around and saw him. Jesus, that scared the hell out of me. But I'm never, ever telling anyone if I can't be anonymous." Name withheld

Chicago / Lake Michigan Winged Humanoid / Flying Entity Sightings & Encounters

UPDATED: Chicago / Lake Michigan Winged Humanoid Regional Interactive Map

Missing 411: Boy Abducted By 'The Fuzzy Man' in California State Park

A boy, who disappears in a California State Park, is later found in good shape after being missing for 2 weeks. The boy says he was taken by the 'Fuzzy Man,' but was later released.

The following account was recently forwarded to me:

"My friend, who has been with the search & rescue service in northern California for many years, has had a life full of strange encounters and occurrences. I mentioned to her that I was interested in hearing about any experiences she had with people completely disappearing. Her eyes light up, and she leans in close to me and says, 'Wanna hear a real doozy?'

She tells me about how, when she first started, there was a case that got a lot of attention in the media. A family had been out berry picking in an area of the forest very close to the entrance of the park. They had two little boys, both under the age of five, and at some point during the day, one of them vanishes. There's an absolutely massive search, and they find nothing. It's another of those cases where it's like the kid was never there in the first place. The dogs just sit down and don't pick up on anything, no trace of the kid is found.

The search goes on for about two months, but is eventually called off. Fast forward to six months later. The family comes back to place flowers at a memorial that's been set up there for the kid. They bring their other son. While they're placing the flowers, they lose sight of the kid for about three seconds, and in that span of time he vanishes into thin air. Now obviously, the parents are beyond devastated. It's awful enough to lose one child, but to lose two is beyond imagining.

The search is huge, one of the largest in state history. There are about three hundred volunteers combing every inch of this park, looking for the kid. But again, there's no trace of him. The search goes on for about a week, with people looking miles from the part of the park he vanished from.

And then, almost two weeks later, a volunteer almost fifteen miles from the designated search area radios in that he's found the kid. They assumed that the kid was dead, but the volunteer says he's not only alive, he's in good shape.

My friend's team go out to recover the kid, and when they get there, she can't believe that this is the kid that's been missing. His clothes are clean, there's no dirt on him anywhere, and he doesn't appear traumatized. The volunteer says he found the kid sitting on a log, playing with a little twig bundle that's bound together with some old rope. She asks him where he's been, who he was with for those two weeks, and the kid tells her that he's been with 'the fuzzy man.' 

Now my friend firmly believes in Bigfoot, so she gets all excited and asks what he means by fuzzy. Was he hairy? But the kid says no, he wasn't hairy. He was a 'fuzzy man,' and he describes a man that's blurry, 'like when you close your eyes but not all the way closed.' He says the man came out of the trees and took the kid with him deep into the woods. The kid says he slept in a hollow tree, and the fuzzy man gave him berries to eat. My friend asks if the man was mean, if he scared the kid, and the kid says 'no, he wasn't scary. but I didn't like how he didn't have eyes.'

My friend says they get the kid back to headquarters, and a cop takes him into town to talk to him more about what happened. She's friends with the cop that talked to him, and she said the kid described being kept in this tree by the fuzzy man, and given berries whenever he was hungry. He was allowed to wander around a very specific clearing, but when he tried to go further, the fuzzy man would 'get mad and yell real loud even though he didn't have a mouth'. When the kid got scared at night, the fuzzy man 'made it get brighter' and gave him the twig bundle.

He said the fuzzy man was going to keep him, but he had to let him go because the kid wasn't 'the right kind.' He either can't or won't elaborate more on that. The cops are just sort of left scratching their heads, and the search for his brother is renewed with no results. The kid has no idea where his brother might be, and they never find him." SR

'We Met a Leprechaun at the Southlake, Texas Costco'

A couple are shopping at a Texas Costco when they encounter, what they describe as, a Leprechaun in the parking lot. There is a brief conversation in which the Leprechaun personally knows this couple.

The following account was recently forwarded to me:

"Please note that I am being completely sincere and my wife can vouch for this encounter. I know that Fae and their ilk are considered little more than a joke these days. But I tell you true, I swear it. I met an actual Leprechaun, and I've been encountering Fae all my life. And I have a theory as to why there was a Leprechaun in Southlake, Texas.

My wife and I were looking for a desk at Costco one rainy night and we found one we were looking for. I was carrying it out to our car in the rain when we were aggressively confronted by a tiny Irishman (Red hair, green eyes, freckles, brogue) about 3 feet in height. His proportions were normal and proportional to said height from what I could see. He wasn't a Dwarf (little person, squat/small limbs), he was just really small.

He wasn't wearing anything special either, just a t-shirt and jogging pants with sneakers. Not green either, but his hair was as red as mine.

He called me by name, and he knew my wife's name as well. As soon as we looked up to address him, he started talking to us about absolutely nothing in particular, as if he knew us and hadn't seen us in ages. I was so shocked I simply answered his questions and listened to him react, again as if he knew us from way back.

"How've you been doing? What's up?"

"Do you still live round here?" I said, "We still lived at my old house." He replied, "Ah, good old home sweet home."

"How's the family?" I said, "My grandmother's well and I don't talk to my mother often." He replied, "Well its fine that you keep an eye on your gran, she's danger prone."

"How's the writing going?" I said, "Writers block..." he replied, "As always, eh? Keep trying!"

"Any kids?" I said, "No, we're waiting till we have a place of our own." He replied, "A WISE decision young man!" He looks at my wife and says, "This one's a keeper!"

All his responses were super jovial and friendly, and I barely noticed it, but I had put my umbrella over his head subconsciously, and I was now getting soaked. The entire time I was wondering if we were the victim of some sort of prank, or if he recognized me from some time before, but me, being an idiot had forgotten him.

Finally the questions and friendly conversation stopped, and he gave us both a mischievous smile complete with eyebrow waggles, and said, "Two cents for your two cents." He then handed us each two new shiny pennies. Then he turned and walked into the Costco.

We were both so flabbergasted that we didn't speak the entire way home. When we finally got there I looked at my pennies, then at my wife. "Did we just meet a Leprechaun?" And it kind of fits with all the Fae lore I know. A complete stranger approaches you as if he knows you, waits for you to be rude so he (a Fae) can curse you. If you surprise him and are polite, he'll give you a small (or large) reward.

On that note, we put the pennies in a keepsake box and they were gone by morning, literally it's like they'd been taken (there was no other money in that box) and nobody else has access to it. That's what made my wife believe the idea that it may have been a Leprechaun.

As to my theory how or why a Leprechaun would be in Texas, well it's fairly simple. If humans can emigrate/go on vacation, then why can't Fae? Most of them pass for human anyway, so it's not that difficult to see one boarding a plane in Europe (where they are still a protected species under law) and coming to America to mess with some rude Americans

Tell me what your thoughts are. If he wasn't a Leprechaun, I don't know what he was." JT

NOTE: Well, I'm not up-to-date with Fae lore, but I doubt that I'd be taking 'rewards' from a Fae or Leprechaun...let alone telling them anything about myself. Did this guy ever read about Changelings and other Fae mischief? A bit hard to 'bite' on this one, but I present it here for your perusal. Lon

Chicago / Lake Michigan Winged Humanoid / Flying Entity Sightings & Encounters

UPDATED: Chicago / Lake Michigan Winged Humanoid Regional Interactive Map

High Strangeness in Scotland: Vertical Black 'Line' Unfurls Into A 'Stickman-Like Humanoid!'

A father and son encounter a vertical black line on a hill near Edinburgh, Scotland. The line unfurls into a stickman-like humanoid that pursues them when they walk away. Weird account!

The following account was recently forwarded to me:

"I'm going to try and report this with as little dramatic flare as possible because it seems like people sometimes get carried away with the storytelling when reporting something like this and I want to avoid that if I can.

This happened a long time ago and not even in America (occurring on a hill in Scotland name Arthur's Seat near Edinburgh). But for the first time the other day I was discussing it and suddenly realised that it actually involves three of the major factors associated with a lot of the Missing 411 cases - a body of water, a dog behaving extremely unusually, and large amounts of granite.

I was in my mid-teens at the time and due to unusual circumstances my dad had woken me up in the middle of the night to walk the dog with him and have a chat. It was around 2am. It was a full moon and a very bright night with great visibility. The skies were clear and we were walking on a granite hill, an extinct volcano in fact, that has a valley in the middle with a lochan (small lake) in it. We had walked around the lochan before starting up the side of the valley towards the ridge with the dog on a leash.

As we began to approach the top of the slope the dog stopped dead and point blank refused to come any further in the direction we were walking. He was literally a dead weight on the leash and we would have had to bodily drag him to move him even an inch further forward. We realised that he'd tucked his tail between his legs, was visibly shaking, and was in a curled crouch making himself as small as possible. He was also entirely fixated on something ahead of us that we hadn't noticed or paid attention to beforehand.

It appeared to be a straight black line emerging vertically from the ground. I remember thinking at first that it was a plastic tube they use to protect vulnerable saplings from deer. In the first moments that we became aware of it there were no discernible features whatsoever other than a black vertical bar. As we watched, the straight black bar 'unfurled' into the crude shape of a humanoid, I estimate to have been around 8 feet tall. Unfurled is the best term I can think of to describe this process, if you've ever seen a butterfly emerge from a chrysalis it was something like that. The figure was entirely jet black, there were no visible features or contrast within it to any degree despite the bright moonlight and 'black' doesn't cover how dark this thing actually was. It was what I imagine a black hole might look like and although the figure itself wasn't remotely transparent or insubstantial, the outline was slightly fuzzy or blurred almost like something that's vibrating extremely quickly or a washing machine on a high spin cycle.

It did not have human proportions. It was almost like a child's drawing of a stick man but with disproportionately long arms and legs. If you are imagining something like a stick insect made out of the material vantablack and in the rough shape of a person you're close to the mark. The head was unusually small and I remember the top of the head being somewhat flat although my dad doesn't. In every other respect our recollections of the event are identical.

This all happened within probably under a minute and then it turned and faced us. I'm not going to give a melodramatic description and in fact words can't really do it justice. Although it lacked any features whatsoever that might be identified as eyes or a face, you could FEEL this things attention on you. Instantly every hair on my body stood erect and I broke out in goosebumps. I turned to my dad and said, "Dad what the f is that thing?" He's one of the most skeptical and level-headed people I know so what really freaked me out was that his answer was just, "I don't know. We need to get out of here right now." As a young man being able to detect genuine fear in my dad's voice was itself quite unsettling.

We immediately began to walk sideways away from the figure so as not to entirely turn our backs on it. The minute we began moving away it was like a spell was broken on the dog who began to literally drag us. The figure followed us for more than five minutes maintaining the same distance. It walked with large, slow, deliberate strides and I remember its arms swung in long arcs as it moved. At no point did it show any sign of aggression, it simply followed maintaining the same distance from us the entire time. It was perfectly and completely silent, there wasn't a sound when it was following us.

We were in a highly adrenalized state during this 'pursuit' and the atmosphere was extremely tense. We exchanged very few words other than whispers like, "is it still following us?" and "don't look at it." It never even crossed our minds to run which in hindsight seems unusual given that neither of us even entertains the possibility that this was just another person out for a walk. In the moment we both had an almost literally overwhelming sense of 'wrongness' about the situation.

After about five minutes I stopped, I can't remember exactly what I said but it was something along the lines of, "this is completely insane. WT F is going on? What is that f-ing thing?" When we stopped, it stopped, and again just turned to stand facing us straight on. Because of the total lack of features it may as well have been facing directly away from us but like I say there was a very definite physical sense of when this things awareness was focused on you. We stood in total silence. The dog continued trying to drag us away. It stood motionless for a minute or two and then, as we watched, it turned, sank down into the solid ground, and disappeared. Immediately it felt like some sort of charge in the air had dissipated and we began power walking back to the car. When we got back we were still buzzing with adrenaline and woke everyone up to tell them what we'd seen.

That's the story. I can't really add anything else that wouldn't just be dramatic flourishes for story telling purposes. The dogs behaviour was extremely uncharacteristic of him, if we had encountered another person under the same circumstances there's not a doubt in my mind that he would have been barking and straining on his leash to approach them rather than get away. That's partly why he was on a lead but also because he was a rescue and very prone to chasing animals and disappearing for 20 minutes or so.

We were both quite shaken as neither of us could really come up with any plausible rational explanation for what we'd experienced. Occasionally, over the years, people have suggested this was a 'brocken spectre' where our own shadows were being cast by the moon on a fog bank or low cloud. But I can't accept this explanation, there just wasn't any fog or clouds present and visibility was excellent due to both clear air and the bright moonlight. I have no real theories about what we saw and nor does my dad. Although I still consider myself to be a naturally skeptical person this completely shattered my ability to dismiss other peoples' stories of high strangeness and wild theories - even those that at face value seem absurd. I can hardly laugh in someone's face when they say that they think bigfoot is real but comes from another dimension for example, or that something otherworldly is taking people in the wilderness - although obviously I have no reason to believe this was Bigfoot and the incident occurred in Scotland.

Years after the fact, and years ago now, I found a thread on a Bushcraft forum where people were discussing spooky experiences in the outdoors and to my amazement there was a hunter who reported seeing the EXACT same thing crossing a clearing in the woods from a hunting hide during a full moon in America. I don't have a link because this was a long time ago but they reported identical details - the small head, the long arms that moved in pendulous arcs when it walked, the slow deliberate stride, the total blackness and lack of features and even the fuzzy outline that they described in exactly the same way, as if it was vibrating.

Make of this what you will, I'm not trying to convince anyone of anything and I'm not married to any particular theory about what we saw. I just thought it was worth reporting here when I realised that the hill was mostly composed of granite and connected that with the water in the lake.

I want to briefly touch on two of the more obvious explanations for what we experienced and why I struggle to accept them but first, because it's relevant to one of them, let me mention that there are at least some caves on this hill - and that they've been associated with spooky stuff before, although I didn't know this at the time. In 1836 a group of schoolboys found a small entrance to a previously unknown cave on the hill near where this occurred that contained 17 miniature coffins containing what we would describe today as 'voodoo dolls' and some of them are still on display in the Scottish national museum today.

Now for the rational explanations.

We were hallucinating. The dogs strange behaviour was caused by something unrelated but in the unfamiliar environment and the dark we entered some kind of adrenalised state where our minds projected a tangible threat onto an unexpected object, possibly actually one of those tubes used to protect trees I mentioned earlier, and we both hallucinated the same thing. I find this hard to accept because of the specific details we both recalled afterwards (long arms, small head, vibrating outline, slow deliberate stride, swinging arms, strong sense of when it's attention was focused on you) despite not actually talking about what we were seeing at the time, and also that the dog was very clearly focused on the same thing as we were and absolutely terrified.

It was exactly what it appeared to be. A very unusually tall black skinned individual emaciated to the verge of death that was vibrating. In this scenario they would have emerged from a hole in the ground (remember the cave) and were shivering from the cold (Scotland). They then followed us in silence before descending back underground via another hole. I can almost accept this, and that due to adrenaline our brains interpreted it as being more dramatically strange than it actually was. The problem with this theory is that it would still be really, really weird - but it does bring us back into the tangible world of things that actually exist because although Scotland is something like 98% white there are still thousands of Scottish people with black skin and it's possible some of them are very tall.

The only thing that's maybe worth adding is that this event seemed to flick some switch in my head that made me no longer remotely afraid of the dark under any circumstances. You'd think it would have gone the other way, and I'm not larping as a vampire or some possessed creature of the night, but I worked in a bakery at the time and walked to work along a river in a deep valley in the middle of the night, sometimes it was pitch black to the extent that you would have to feel your way ahead with your hands and I'm not ashamed to admit that sometimes I'd get a bit spooked, especially when a fox suddenly screamed right next to you. After this event? never again. I can walk through the deepest darkest forest, abandoned building or mine in complete darkness without feeling the slightest trepidation since this incident and I don't really know why but it's to the extent that people have commented on it "I don't know how you can do that!". Now not being afraid of the dark is hardly a superpower but for me it has always been a markedly less intimidating experience AFTER this encounter and I really can't rationalise why because it seems like it would make so much more sense for it to have instilled a fear of the dark rather than removed it.

That's all I have to say, in the unlikely event that you've seen the same thing please let me know. If anyone has any questions I'm happy to answer but I don't think I've left anything relevant out." UT

'Mothman' Eyewitness & Experiencer Accounts Including Possible 9/11 NYC Sighting

Several eyewitness and experiencers describe their encounters with Mothman / winged humanoid beings. There is also a brief description of a possible Mothman sighting just before the 9/11 WTC incident.

The following accounts were forwarded to me:

“I live in West Virginia, and have seen this Mothman creature myself. We didn't glimpse it. We clearly saw it. Whatever it is, it does exist. And I’m not sure how anyone can get a picture of it, I could have had a camera in my hand and still would not have. When it looks at you, somehow it paralyzes you.

It was my friend and I. For the first hour or so after, we couldn’t move or even talk. Then for about the next hour, all we could say was, "What the f*ck was that?" We still couldn't move. It looks nothing like a moth, and nothing like the stature in Point Pleasant. Looks more like a bat than a moth. I can only hope to never see it again.” RM

-----

"Around the time 'The Mothman Prophecies' movie was released, I was walking my dog late at night. The area was dark w/ lots of trees. Lights were shining from houses in the distance, so not pitch black. I see a small, dull, red glow moving above me in the branches of an oak tree. Looked like red bioluminescence. I freeze. My brain jumped to the movie. “Is it the Mothman? For real? In Louisiana? Why? How? AHHH!” Thankfully, I had a flashlight for night  dog-walks. Switched it on and pointed the light upward. It was a giant moth the size of my hand or bigger. The back of his head reflected brighter red from my flashlight. Didn’t explain how he was glowing red in the darkness only seconds before. My heart started beating again and my dog and I continued our walk. Still have not seen a similar looking moth 18 yrs later. Not even sure what species he was.” LF

-----

“My mother maybe saw the Mothman in 1957. She told that this thing swooped down from the sky and landed in the cornfield, then went after my brother, who was playing on the edge of the cornfield. She said he stood up like a man, but hopped like a bird. Believe it or not.” BA

-----

“I live in Michigan and I work 3rd shift. I was diving home one night. My boyfriend and I both seen a winged creature hanging on bottom of a highway underpasses. We could see almost an amber color set of wide eyes staring at us. It had to be over 6 foot tall and its wings wrapped all around the whole body. No BS it was freaky.” JJ

-----

"It was September 11, 2001 in Manhattan, New York. I was about 13 years old. I was downtown NYC when the towers fell. My father brought us to NYC for a month for work. He’s a television producer.

I was walking around city with my mother and she spotted a weird-looking flying bird in the sky and told me to look and that’s when I saw it. It wasn’t a bird, a eagle or anything normal. It flew in front of us and that’s when we were half-way across town from the towers when we heard the explosion of the airplane I assume. We got to the apartment on the 22th floor of the place where we were staying and watched the WTC towers burning. It’s freaky to think that the “Mothman” has to be an omen of bad things to come.” CC

-----

“I've seen this winged thing about 15 years back (around 2005) while riding with 3 of my friends on a country road in southeast Missouri. I can tell you right now, its not a bird. Birds don't have fur and its face had no beak. Not to mention, its face was more in its chest and it had glowing red eyes.

It swooped down in front of our vehicle, so I got to see a whole frontal view of it because I was driving. I think it was trying to attack my head lights. And when it swooped down It landed on the ground and ran like a man into the woods. Craziest thing ever. We were all so damn scared on the way home. I was just nuts to see that thing." MA

A Real 'Magic Garden' in Kentucky

A woman relates her experience in a 'magic garden' located in the Daniel Boone National Forest. She explains her encounters with fairies and other magical beings.

The following account was recently forwarded to me:

"Many years ago, I was dating a guy that was really into camping and hiking (as am I). We spent a lot of time camping in primitive sites, which I prefer to car camping.

He wanted to take me to visit his dear friends that lived in Kentucky. They have 150 acres in the Daniel Boone National Forest. The couple, I'll call them Dan and Gina, had an off-grid cabin that Dan had built. There was a cleared out space for the home site, and Gina grew all of their veggies and fruit. The main property was bordered/divided by a very clear creek that flowed down from a cave further up the property. It was so clear you could safely drink from it.

Gina's gardens were magical. (I'm including the only pic I have from that time.) After a very long drive to get there, my boyfriend and I got out, I met Dan and Gina, and she gave me a tour of the gardens.

Everything was lush, there were bees and butterflies and hummingbirds everywhere, and the place just felt 'sacred.' They were true stewards of this land.

As Gina was showing me a line of crops right near the tree line, I was distracted by a huge insect flying around me on my right side. I kept seeing it in my peripheral view, darting toward me and then away. I'm not afraid of bees, but this one was really persistent and seemed large.

I turned to look and my mouth fell open in shock. There, hovering at my shoulder, was a tiny little man. He had inky black hair, pointed ears, and his clothing looked almost like it was made of deep green leaves. His wings went really fast, and sounded like a hummingbird's.

I had to blink a few times, because I was sure it was drive fatigue. And then, he put his hands up near his ears, wiggled his fingers, and blew a raspberry at me, flying off.

I turned to look at Gina. I had just met her and didn't want her to think that I was a nut. She saw my face and she giggled. Then she said, in the sweetest Kentucky accent:

"Did you see one of our fairies? They must like you. You'll get to see the fairy lights tonight, and the rings tomorrow morning."

I was still kind of in a state of disbelief. Despite all the weird stuff I'd seen in my life, I had never seen fairies or gnomes or any other similar magical folk.

That night, we sat on the front porch, surrounded by trellises full of perfumed flowers, listening to the sounds of the forest. I remember Gina tapping my arm and pointing out to the far end of the cleared yard. There were tiny lights in the grass. Not like fireflies. These held a steady glow and moved up into the air, then down. Then up, and repeated. This went on for at least an hour. We watched in silence. It felt like we were in a magic bubble.

That night, my boyfriend and I camped outside in a tent. I slept deeply and woke early, before anyone else. I tiptoed outside, walking barefoot in the grass. I remember the feeling of dew on my feet. And as I walked around, I saw three different circles in the grass. Perfect imprints, where the grass was flattened down in a circle.

The rest of my visit included a lot of incredible experiences, including getting to know Dan and Gina and enjoying being in an off-grid paradise. We hiked up to the cave, and wandered toward its deep back, where there were many petroglyphs left by tribes a long time ago. Dan told us that if you went at night, you could hear drumming and chanting in the caves, but we didn't go back. I felt like it was almost trespassing, as though hundreds of eyes were on us. I just had such a feeling of reverence while on that land.

Many years later, I think about them and wonder if they still live there, tending the land, protecting the magical folk." M

UPDATED: Chicago / Lake Michigan Winged Humanoid Regional Interactive Map

Weird Night: 30 Foot 'Pole' Transforms Into An Unknown Humanoid

A young Alabama man was in a tent with his friend on a large farm. After a while, the witness heard strange footsteps and eventually noticed a tall 'pole' near the barn. Weird account.

I recently came across the following bizarre account:

"This happened in 2017. I was with my friend, who lived on farmland surrounded by forest in central Alabama. We were outside in front of the farmhouse in a tent. He was asleep, but me, always having insomnia, I was wide awake. All of a sudden, I hear loud slow footsteps coming from out of the forest coming over in the direction of the tent. This terrified me, because I didn't know what it was. A bear? A deer? A person? No clue. So I was waiting for the footsteps to stop outside the tent and I was preparing myself for the absolute worst, because since it was heading in the tents direction, that's what I assumed was going happen. But it didn't. Instead, these footsteps moved PAST the tent.

So, after hearing these loud slow methodical footsteps come from out of the woods, ignore two defenseless people, and then silence for easily 10 minutes, curiosity started to eat away at me. I unzip the tent and quietly peak my head out to see if I could see anything. I'm looking all around the tree line, the house, everywhere; and I cannot find the source of these footsteps. I'm just about to put my head back inside when I spot something that doesn't really make sense. Behind the farmhouse to the right is the barn, and next to this barn...is a pole.

I saw what looked like a 30 foot tall greyish silver pole, vertically placed next to this barn. It was shiny and glistening in the moonlight. I studied this weird structure up and down with my eyes, confused, because I know damn well I would have easily noticed this 30 foot tall pole bizarrely placed inches away from this barn earlier when it was daytime; but I didn't.

BTW, I should really start calling this thing something other than a "pole" because after looking at this strange object really hard, I realized that this "pole" had something like arms and legs. They looked like rods; perfectly straight symmetrical and proportioned with its size and stature. It looked so smooth and round, and it looked like it was stretched out; idk how to explain it. I then realized that it was doing something. It was spinning in a circle. Ever so slowly.

I was dumbfounded. I had no idea what I could possibly be looking at. All of a sudden, this 30 foot tall shiny spinning pole looked humanoid. It then took an uncomfortably long step back into the woods, still spinning ever so slowly, still glistening and shining in the moonlight.

I had no idea how to react. I was at a complete loss for words. I just kind of went back into the tent and laid on my back until the sun came up. I had no sleep at all and after that day, I never hung out with my friend at that farm again. I don't know what it was. Trick of the eye? A humanoid? A stick man? Or a glitch? Your guess is as good as mine." EP

'Glimmer Man' Encountered by Deer Hunters in Hells Canyon Wilderness Area, Idaho

A pair of friends regularly traveled to the Hells Canyon Wilderness Area in Idaho to hunt deer. This was until they both encountered the 'Glimmer Man' moving in the trees near their stands. 

The following account was recently forwarded to me by Cam & Kyle at Expanded Perspectives:

"Recently, I received some bad news because my health is deteriorating fast. With the ongoing pandemic and my cancer diagnosis I figured I'd better share my story while I still can. I’m in my 60s now, but this story took place back when I was in my 30’s. I was 34-35 I think, when this all happened.

Back then, I was living in a suburb of Boise, Idaho called Caldwell. My grandparents lived north of there in an area known as the Hells Canyon Wilderness Area. The town they lived in was called New Meadows. It’s a small town in Adams County, along the Little Salmon River. Well, there's some fantastic whitetail deer hunting up there on public land. I had been driving up there hunting with my brothers, uncles and father since I was teenager, so I was very familiar with the area. I used to love it there, until I had my experience in the woods.

It was late summer and a buddy of mine, named Ryan, and I were going to up to New Meadows, pick up some supplies that I stored at my grandparent's house and head out to find a good spot to set up our deer stands. We got to one of the trail heads I was familiar with and started walking some trails and trying to spot a good place to set up our deer stands. Nothing was out of the ordinary. A very normal day of scouting. We saw plenty of wildlife and a few other stands that were set up by other hunters. Some looked very recent others, though others looked old and abandoned.

After a few hours we each set up our own individual stands in spots that looked promising to us. Now, Ryan’s stand was about 1,000 yards northwest of my spot, so the plan would be for us to walk together to my stand and then Ryan would continue on to his every morning and evening. When the hunt was over I would wait at my stand until Ryan would meet up with me and then we would continue together back to our vehicle. Ryan was in much better shape than me and was about 7 years younger. We met at work and both loved the outdoors. Well, we did.

So fast forward to deer season. We were excited and eager to go hunting. So we executed our plan several times. Each morning or evening we would walk out together, split up, hunt, meet back up and talk about how everything went and what we did or didn’t see while we walked back to the truck. So, this must have happened 6 or 7 times. But after that, we would not always be able to get out and hunt because of work, family issues or whatever. There were a few times either he or I would hunt alone. No big deal, again this was all normal. On the weekends we would be together, but during the week if either one of us had a chance we would go at it alone.

So, one week, Ryan went out alone a few times, I couldn’t get away from work so I would have to wait for the weekend. I would call Ryan and ask how it went? Did you get anything? Did you see anything? Etc. He told me no, he saw some prints, but that was it. I told him that I would see him this weekend and he told me that he couldn’t make it. I was like okay, no problem, I get it, maybe next week. The next week came and Ryan said he couldn’t make it again because he wasn’t feeling well. I asked if he went during the week and he told me no. Again, I thought nothing of it, but whatever. The next week came and went, but no Ryan.

This continued week after week, though deer season would be over soon. Ryan loves hunting and fishing. This dude constantly talks about deer hunting. He has subscriptions to several hunting magazines, he watches hunting video tapes and goes to trade shows. Everything. For him to suddenly look for every excuse to not go hunting seemed very odd, so I asked him. “Hey man, what’s going on?” You haven’t been out in weeks, is everything ok?" He said yeah that he was real busy and that was that. I continued to hunt alone for the rest of the season. I failed to bag a buck that year, but was more frustrated that I seemed to have lost my hunting buddy.

Over the next few months I would reach out to Ryan and everything seemed normal. It was spring again and I was talking about going to scout for a new place this year, a new spot that would be better and if he wanted to go up with me and we could do it together. He said that it sounded fun and I got off of the phone with him.

A few weeks went buy and I asked if he was ready and he told me that he couldn’t go, again with the excuses. He kept putting me off until he finally told me that he wasn’t going to be hunting this fall, that he was too busy, and maybe some other time. I was shocked. So I went at it all alone that new season.

I found a new spot that looked pretty good. I walked by Ryan’s old location and his stand was still there in the tree. He never came and got it. So, I figured I would give his spot a try one day.

So, one morning I arrived earlier than normal because it was farther hike and went all the way out to Ryan’s stand. I climbed up and settled in. Everything remained normal for the first hour, hour and a half. Then I noticed everything went quiet. I mean deathly quiet. Like I was in a vacuum or something. I could hear my own heart beat, but that was about it. No birds, no insects, no squirrels or chipmunks, not even a breeze. I remember thinking to myself, 'Man, this is crazy, I’ve never heard it this quiet before, ever. This is strange!' This continued for about 10 minutes. Then I saw something out of the corner of my eye about 70 yards away in the trees! I could see something moving, but I couldn't tell what I was looking at. I started to feel the sense of dread, like something was wrong. I don't scare easily but I was suddenly struck with fear and I didn’t even know why.

This thing was moving around in the trees, but what it was doing, I don’t know. I couldn’t focus on what it was. I kept saying to myself, 'What the hell is that? What is that man, what is that?' That’s when it jumped to a neighboring tree. That’s when I got a better look at it. I say better because what I saw is hard to describe. I couldn’t focus on it. Whatever it was, it had two arms, a head, a torso and two legs. I don't describe it as a man, because what I saw was not a man. It was about 6 foot tall, maybe even shorter. It jumped to the next tree and just squatted on a limb surveying the area. I was scared to move, so I just sat there and watched with amazement. There was still no sound in the forest and this thing just sat there. It looked like water, like liquid, like clear plastic. Whenever it stopped moving it was almost impossible to see, but when it moved you could see it much better.

The whole time I just kept thinking to myself, 'What the hell is that? Is it a sasquatch? Is it a ghost?' I don’t know and I don’t want IT to know that I'm here. I'm not going to move until it’s gone. I continued to watch this thing intently, never taking my eyes off of it, not even for one second. I don’t think that it saw me. It never gave any indication that it was aware of my presence, which now I’m very thankful for. So for an hour I just watched this thing move around until if finally disappeared off into the woods. I quickly climbed down out of Ryan's stand and high-tailed it all the way back to my truck.

Sitting in the cab of my truck, I tried to wrap my mind around what I just saw. What was that thing? Am I going crazy? Am I losing my mind? Do I have a brain tumor? I must be hallucinating. But no. No! I saw it. I watched it for a long time, whatever it was, it was real.

I drove home and said nothing to anyone about the whole ordeal. I didn't want them to think I was crazy or something. I thought about it constantly over the next few weeks. Every time I was laying down for bed, or taking a shower, driving alone in my truck. The memory would come flooding back into my mind. What did see?

Eventually, I contacted Ryan and asked if I could come by an visit. He said sure. So one Saturday around lunch time, I drove over to Ryan's and we chit-chatted for a bit about what he was up to, how was life, the normal stuff. Then I told him about my deer season and how one day I hiked up to his stand and actually hunted in it. He looked scared. He turned white! He was looking at me with this strange look I’ll never forget. 

I said, "Dude, are you okay?" He said, "Did you see anything?" I said, "No man, I didn’t see any deer." And he said, "I’m not talking about deer. Did you see anything?"

At that moment, I knew what he was insinuating. I knew he knew something. So, I said, "Yeah, as a matter of fact. I'll tell you exactly what I saw." So I told him everything. He said that he saw it too and that I was lucky that it didn’t see me. His encounter was much different than mine. He told me that the thing not only saw him but basically forced him out of the woods. That is why he never went back. He wanted to tell me but didn’t know how. He sold all of his hunting equipment and will never go into the woods again. We talked for hours and we still don’t know what it was that we saw. Ryan thinks its a demon or something alien. I still don’t know, but I know it sounds crazy. I’m glad he saw it too. Now, I know for sure that I didn’t hallucinate the whole thing. I did see what I saw, even though I don’t know what I saw.

Some friends of mine heard your show about the 'Glimmer Man' sightings and told me to give it a listen. I did and was shocked that other people have seen it too. I no longer feel alone. I wanted to shared this story with you because it needs to be documented somewhere. BTW, Ryan died 4 years ago in a horrible motorcycle accident. Maybe, one day we will finally figure out what the 'Glimmer Man' is." Mike

NOTE: The more I hear and read about this phenomenon, I'm starting to feel strongly that this a mechanism employed by Sasquatch and/or other cryptids in order to conceal themselves. Your thoughts? Lon

Chilling Cryptid Encounters in Louisiana, Virginia & Wisconsin

3 separate shocking eyewitness cryptid encounter accounts in Louisiana, Virginia and Wisconsin. Bigfoot? Dogman? Or something completely different and unknown?

The following account were recently forwarded to me:

"I was driving home in the early 1990s at about 2:30 AM on a back road in Greensburg, Louisiana. I saw, what I thought was, a calf laying in the road. Dark in color and motionless. I thought it had been hit by a gravel truck or something. It was laying in the on coming traffic lane, no traffic to be see. I slowed to a stop in my pickup and rolled the window down to take a look.

As soon as my truck stopped I was peering at the animal, window down fully. All of a sudden it jolted to life! In a flash it looked up at me with the loudest growl I've ever heard. It had a snout like a dog with huge white canine eyes. I almost pissed myself! I Stomped it to the floor so hard I broke a motor mount.

I am a Believer. For sure! Growing up in Southern Louisiana I am familiar with the wildlife, but this was something different. An abomination of nature without a doubt. When I arrived home I called a couple friends. We got locked & loaded and returned to the location in the street, but it was gone.

I'm afraid of nothing. But THAT night? God Bless in Jesus' name." GM

-----

"I live in Virginia and I travel to Harrisonburg every week from Arlington. On my way back home I usually like to drive at night, easy of traffic, etc. One particular night, I stopped at Tom Brooks on I-81, very late, close to midnight.

On my way back to incorporate at I-81 north, I quickly stop at the merging area to take a look at the sky. Then, suddenly, I got the feeling that something wasn't just right. I had the feeling that something was staring at me. I grabbed my flashlight, LED, very bright, pointed to the wood, and there were this pair of bright circles straight at me! I was probably about 20 meters away from it. I initially thought it was light reflection, but when I moved the light, the [at this point I believe eyes] starting to get closer, moved up and down slowly and became much bigger. I'd say double the size of a quarter.

A truck passed by with intense lights. That's when I spotted a dark, huge figure. That's when I realized the fear I started to feel. My legs almost get paralyzed. I started to move around the pick up truck, the eyes were following me and getting closer to the fence. I could barely get to enter the truck. My heart was pumping hard and rapidly. when inside, the eyes lift up in the air at least 4 meter high. Oh my God! I had never felt fear like this before. Everything happened quickly.

I left, totally disturbed. I will never stop again on the roadside. I'm lucky to tell this scary real life story. It was foolish of me. Be careful when driving at night anywhere." EG

-----

"I live in central Wisconsin. Back in either 2014 or 2015, I was sitting by a campfire on the shore of a small lake, enjoying a beer with a lady, when we heard a growling thing approaching in the snow. It became more ferocious, louder, and seemingly angrier as it got closer. Its wrath seemed to be directed at us. And it sounded evil, and was deafeningly loud. We could not see it, as it was in the dark; but it could definitely see us, as we were in the light of the fire.

It was on the freshly frozen thin-iced lake, and seemed to be VERY close to us. Then suddenly there was a sound of ice cracking and breaking, then the loud plunge, and sound of splashing, struggling, slushy ice and water, then silence (except for a few gurgles of bubbles). I said to my lady friend, "We've got to help it! The poor thing fell through the ice!" As I got up from my lawn chair she grabbed my arm and yelled, "No!! Better it than us!"

Over the years, prior to and since then, I occasionally have found very large paw prints in the snow on that property. Five to seven inches in diameter. They appear in the middle of the yard, then stop. Very strange. I do not care who believes or disbelieves my story; I know it to be true. I just don't know what the creature, or creatures are. I thought maybe a bear, but wouldn't figure a bear would approach a campfire. The growling was so intense, that it almost sounded demonic." JS

Black-Eyed Kids? Bizarre Encounter in the Seedy Part of Town

A man is walking home from work late at night and encounters a young boy and girl repeatedly crossing a deserted street in a bad neighborhood. They approach the witness in a typical BEK manner.

I recently came across the following account:

"I still have chills. My encounter doesn’t match 100% to others I’ve heard, but I’m positive it has something to do with these black-eyed kids

So this is about April 2019. I live in a decent sized city in the western US. My job at the time was in a restaurant where I worked late nights, sometimes until 1AM. The job wasn’t far from my apartment, so I would walk back every night. My place was in kind of a run down part of town. Imagine a lot of abandoned lots. Basically, at that time of night, there would be no one around except people like me making their way home.

So, I’m walking down the road leading up to my place one night. I’m looking down at my phone, and when I lift my head up, I see these 2 kids, probably like 40-50 feet away, holding hands and walking in my direction. This was odd because the road is a pretty straight shot, there wouldn’t of been many alleys or side streets for them to come out of, unless they were just hanging out in one of the empty lots. They were too far away to make out details, but I was sure they had to be young kids. This on its own was unsettling, but the way they started behaving after this was what sent me into a caution mode.

These 2 stepped off the curb, looked both ways and crossed the street. There was no need to do that on a completed deserted road, but I thought, 'whatever, kids are taught to look both ways before crossing.' That would of been fine, except then, after walking maybe 10 more feet, they stepped off again, looked both ways, and crossed back over the side they were just on. They did this 4 or 5 times until they were right in front of me.

I could tell at this point it was a boy about 13 and a girl about 9. Their clothing wasn’t exactly like other BEK accounts I’ve heard, where they’re wearing old timey rags. Instead they had just these gray pajama looking things, and white shoes with no logo or branding

Now, I’m a big dude. I’m about 6’1, 240 pounds. I’ve been stopped and f*cked with by all kinds of junkies and weirdos and always thought I could handle myself. Despite that, I felt TERRIFIED of these 2 little kids.

They came up to me, and even though their eyes weren’t solid black, their pupils seemed to be very dark and almost have a glow to them.

They stopped dead in front of me, and the boy said, “We’re lost. Our parents must be worried”, in a straight monotone voice. You’d think that 2 lost children in the ghetto at 1AM would be frantic and crying. The girl then chimes in, “We need to use the phone at your house. Our parents must be worried.” She talked in the same matter of fact way.

I told them they could use my cell phone or I could call the police. They didn’t say anything and the boy just said again, “Our parents are worried.”

In no other situation would I leave 2 kids there defenseless, but something in my gut told me to get the f*ck out of there, so I just walked past them.

After about a block I looked back, and saw them continuing in the other direction, repeatedly crossing the he street again. It was one of the most unsettling things I’ve ever experienced." BP
