Unknown Creature Mutilates Wild Hog & Human Child in Northern Pakistan

A Pakistani man shoots a wild hog in the woods at night. When he comes back to remove it the next day, the hog is torn in half. Later, a child was mutilated in the same area.

I recently came across the following strange account:

"I live in Northern Pakistan, and its a lot like the northern US or Central Europe in terms of environment. It is a predominantly Islamic country with a Hindu background and we have a lot of superstitious beliefs such as witches ('churail' in our language with similar abilities to skinwalkers), demons, as well as witchcraft, magic, etc. I am aware that skinwalkers are native to North America.

I don't live in the countryside but I have a farm that I visit almost every weekend. It's less agricultural, more pleasure. The farm is located in a community of farms and to the north is a large patch of unclaimed forest, probably around 200 acres. The forest is populated with foxes, coyotes, porcupine, and wild boar, apart from feral dogs and such. I've been doing a lot of hunting in my time there and have never experienced anything like this before. I used to hunt at night alone quite a bit, prior to this incident.

I was hunting at night at about 1 AM, which is around the time wild boar are most active, being nocturnal creatures. I shot an adult female hog, probably around 3:50 AM. Since it was getting late I decided to remove the body the next morning (most Pakistanis are Muslims, so we don't eat them and we hunt boar because they have a habit of messing with crops and livestock). We have to remove the body legally and move it to a government dumping ground. I placed a marker and went back home. Nothing creepy happened at all on the way back.

The next day at around noon I headed back into the woods to remove the bodies. I forgot to mention I shot a few other males but in different places, the female being the last. I made my way to the location of the female and I started getting kind of creeped out. The woods had gone silent. No wind, birds, insects, anything. I started to get goose bumps and a generally very uncomfortable, feeling like I was being watched. When I got to the body, I saw in horror that this thing had been torn in half, with one half lying a good 15 feet away from the other. There was dried blood all over the place. But it wasn't the blood itself that freaked me out, it was the fact that there was blood at all. Blood dries up in the veins of dead animals within 10 minutes of death, meaning that whatever did this had done it within 5-10 minutes of me leaving the body. The body had not been eaten and there were no scavengers feasting, which was strange to say the least.

I decided to get out of there real quick. I unholstered my pistol (didn't have a rifle on me at the time) and started speed walking out of there reciting the ayat-al-qursi as well as other Islamic verses meant to ward of evil (I'm agnostic BTW, but at the time I was praying to all the gods). After about 10 minutes of walking the uneasy feeling wore off. The sound again returned to the forest. It was like a switch being clicked. I went home and just kind of blocked it all out. This happened a couple of months ago, but 2 days ago there was a development

A week ago, a child of one of the workers at a neighbouring farm went missing. He was 9 years old. 2 days ago my father told me that they found his decaying mutilated corpse in the woods, not more then 50 yards from were my incident took place months ago (my dad doesn't know about my incident). The kid's face had been ripped off and his left leg was lying away from him. The police were called and the place was blocked off. But this being Pakistani police they chalked it up to being a wild animal or something. The owner of the farm paid for an autopsy at a good private hospital and it came back inconclusive. All they knew was the kid died of blood loss. The body had not been touched by scavengers despite being there for a few days, and was intact apart from the face and leg. The person that found the body (another dude from a neighbouring farm who was out hunting) said he felt very uneasy before he found the body.

I'm sure there's a rational explanation to all this and I'm probably jumping to conclusions. The events are most like not connected. However all I can say is I'm not going back to those damn woods alone again, and not at night even with someone." LM

NOTE: The first suspect I would have named would be a Leopard. But the fact that none of the bodies were fed on is highly suspicious. A Leopard would have most likely moved a body up into a tree to feed on it. Lon

Gruesome Glowing 'Humanoid' Encountered at Local Jackson County, Ohio Cemetery

A Jackson County, Ohio resident suddenly has an urge to visit a local cemetery, despite her boyfriend's reservations. While there she encounters a glowing pale humanoid among the gravestones.

The following account was recently forwarded to me:

"This occurred two years ago during the eve of the winter solstice. That day, I can't explain it, I got this feeling that I wanted to visit the cemetery where my family was interred. I felt it had to be that day, that place. I live in semi-rural Jackson County, Ohio. My boyfriend came over and I told him. He tried talking me out of it, saying he had a bad feeling about this but ultimately decided he would drive me if I was really set on going, which I was.\

By the time we got there the sky had grown dark, started to rain, and the wind had a biting chill to it. I was set on my mission, though, and got out of the car which my boyfriend refused to leave. I felt odd, nervous and calm at the same time. There was a charge in the air from the rising storm, the gravestones lit up from the headlights and the full moon between the clouds.

Walking toward where my family is buried I had a sudden urge to go to the farthest part of the cemetery, where the older graves rested. I turned the light on my phone and made my way behind the graves, close to the tree line to avoid disturbing the peace. I tend to look at my feet when I walk and I was doing just that when I got the feeling I was being watched. An uneasy feeling lingered at the base of my neck. I had walked for a while and could no longer see the lights of the car. I began to point my phone around, behind me, toward the trees to my left, and the gravesites to my right. I froze at the sight of it.

Perched on top of a stone marker, the entity whipped its pale head around, which sort of glowed a faint eerie blue. Its face was void of any features, except for slight indents where its eyes should be. As my light touched it, it revealed a mouth full of thin teeth and let out an ear-piercing shriek, sinking to its hands and feet in a crouch and disappearing into the thick of the woods before I could blink. I was shocked! I stood still for a solid five seconds, trying to comprehend what I had seen. It finally processed and I turned to run as fast as I possibly could back to the car.

I was out of breath and seeing spots when I reached it, dove in and shut and locked the door. My boyfriend was bewildered and asked what was wrong, but I shouted over him to drive away right NOW! I watched out the back glass to see if we were being followed. Attempting to sketch the creature as soon as I got home, I recounted what happened over and over, trying to disprove to myself what I thought had happened. I could find no logical rationality to explain it away. I saw what I saw. I put it from my mind though, not wanting to dwell on unseen things seen, and haven't visited the cemetery since.

Last night I was watching Netflix, an episode in Vol. 2 of 'Love, Death & Robots - The Tall Grass.' I was freaked while I watched, clenching a pillow to my chest, mouth hanging open, palms sweating. I had seen those creatures before, or one of them, and decided to turn to Google to see what I could find out about them. I found you. What did I encounter? FH

Experiencer Suffers Continued Fear / PTSD After Years of UFO & Alien Encounters

I came across the following post on social media. This account is not unique in the overall scope. There are tens of thousands of experiencers suffering through repeated encounters:

"In 2013, a friend and I were at a local area near where I live in Richmond, British Columbia, Canada. I live near Vancouver International Airport and very much aware of what helicopters planes and other vehicles that travel along the water/ in the air look like. I'm also completely aware of all the military vehicles that are around the area that travel on the water including hovercraft.
In late February 2013 I saw a massive craft with my friend which eventually hovered above our heads and was close enough that it could have had a rock thrown at the underbelly. It was a massive reddish yellow-orange craft of significant size. It was round and had what I would call a "liquid sunshine" kind of texture (Google 'Carlos Diaz UFO'). When it had first appeared and approached us the entirety of the area had completely gone silent near where we were.
As we observed this thing above us it had changed size and gone from a very massive size down to a ball that was maybe a metre to a metre and a 1/2 in size and green and pink in colour. We had followed this craft up the road down Blundell and towards the school on Blundell called Grauer. We observed this craft travel over various places in the city that I live and grow and shrink in size as well as seeing other lights in the sky, including a triangle craft and hearing a craft travel along the water and fire shots. The night ended when we encountered a being that was completely black and about 3 1/2 to 4 foot tall with a massive outline of what appeared to be a very large head.
I have seen other things too with my partner of nearly 10 years and I have seen things by myself going back to my childhood. I've had quite a number of strange experiences over time and have spoken with the psychologists and psychiatrists about the issue. I have also had regular check-ups with my doctor to find out if my internal organs and brain had suffered some damage over the years, especially with the amount of trauma that my mind has gone through. My mental faculties are mostly intact although I have a lot of times where I just have mental breakdowns and PTSD-like flashbacks.
I know people are going to rip on me and say it's fake, but I really don't give a s*** anymore. I literally live in fear sometimes, especially when leaving my own apartment because of what could possibly happen to me or my family. I want to get this out there to everybody in different communities because people need to know that people like me exist and go through all horrible amount of s*** and sometimes just want to give up. I genuinely just want to try to connect with some people that have gone through something similar. I am not looking for karma nor am I looking for attention; I simply just want to connect with some like-minded people. Thank you very much." TM
NOTE: I have reached out to this experiencer. Lon

Humanoids 7: Recent Additions to the Rosales Database

 

Thanks to Albert S. Rosales for providing the newest humanoid updates from his ever-expanding database:

Location: Komarno, Slovakia

Date: end of December 2016

Time: after midnight

Rudolf Z. fell asleep after midnight, not completely asleep but something between sleep and wakefulness. In this state, which seemed like a living dream, he was completely within his senses, he just could not make any normal movements. He could barely turn his head sideways, so he could not see what there was on the right side. He was able to move relatively well his right hand, except that he could not develop much strength. His left hand was under the blanket, and he tried helplessly to pull it out, but his muscles were too weak. It was complete partial paralysis.

To his right stood two, about 120cm tall gray creatures. Their color was slightly darker than the medium gray color. It seemed to him that they looked exactly like the mannequins of the little gray aliens he saw exhibited at the Ufology Conference in Budapest in August 1997.

He wanted to get out of bed so he could defend himself but could not. His legs would not obey him. With his free hand he grabbed one of them, probably by the shoulder of the one closest to him. The creature did not react to his touch at all, and his body did not resist. He did not feel threatened at all. He just wondered what they were looking at him. Logically, he assumed that if they had good intentions, they would not had paralyzed him and restrict him without his consent. He felt a strange cold when he touched the creature, as if he had touched a freezer. Even to the touch, he was different from a normal man. The figure felt the same as a flexible silicone figure with an empty interior. He did not notice any clothing on the creatures.

What they wanted from him or what they wanted to do with him, he did not find out. He did not notice anything that was an expression of any feelings or interest in their part. They were not carrying any tools and their movements were completely illogical to him, aimless, mechanical. From a human point of view, it made no practical sense. They made no sound or spoke to each other. He also reported no communication that he could remember with them.

He could not say exactly how many were in the room, he could not turn his head enough to look around. Judging from their movements, a third may have been present, but he cannot say for sure. The room was much brighter than normal as if some hidden lamp had illuminated the place where he lay with a diffuse light, but without illuminating the entire room. Interestingly, he was not afraid at all, I did not have the slightest feeling of fear. He did not understand that at all. He was fully conscious and fully aware of what was happening. However, it seems that something must have blocked the expression of the emotions of fear. But thanks to that he was able to observe and remember everything in detail. He felt annoyed and practically helpless towards them and he was angry. Suddenly he felt as if “had woken up”, the grays were nowhere in sight, and the room lit only by a streetlamp outside the window as always.

Date: January 2 2017

Time: midnight

Around midnight the main witness and his girlfriend were driving around stargazing. They saw a lot of stars out in their neighborhood, and they thought it was romantic, so he parked his car at the side of the road, opened the roof window and stargazed. Then all of the sudden they heard an extremely loud bang that sounded like a gun shot, but it came from the sky. Both witnesses were startled and looked up at the sky. And that is when things got “weird”. They saw a multi-colored meteor or some sort, but it was going far too fast for a meteor. The sound got louder, and the situation did not look too good, so they tried to drive away, and that is when the impact occurred. The shock wave was intense and made the car, his girlfriend, and the witness bounce probably a few inches from the floor.

He asked his girlfriend if she was okay, and she looked like she had just seen a ghost while staring at something behind him. When he turned around, he saw a car-sized, shiny, metallic object smoking on the ground. They got out of the car and the object had what seemed to be individual plates shifting and attaching to the other plates. He never felt so scared in his life. He realized that it was not a meteor, or any type of known craft. It looked like technology, but nothing he had ever seen before. The plates shifted to a kind of star shape, but the plates were still completely visible. His girlfriend screamed in fear when they both saw the entire structure melt into what looked like a black liquid. They ran to the car and tried to start it, but it was not working, it did not even make a sound. They looked back at the object and it was growing taller, but they did not hear any noise from it, so they decided to get out of the car and run as fast as they could. They looked back only to see the object solidify into a giant, mechanical, metal humanoid figure and it turned around and chased them down the road until they found the edge of the forest in their neighborhood. They climbed up a tree and hid there for about 7 to 8 minutes praying not to die while he was trying to calm himself and his girlfriend down. The giant metal humanoid stopped looking around and ran off just after the main witness got down from the tree and snapped a photo with his phone.

Location: Bogor, Indonesia

Date: February 2017

Time: afternoon

The witness identified only as Mbak X had just returned home from work on her motorbike, it was hot, sunny, and slightly cloudy day. Her house was located close to an Air Force Basse, so she was used to seeing helicopters and the like. When she arrived home, she suddenly noticed a strange light moving in the sky that suddenly comes to a stop. Mbak turns off her motorbike and stares at the light which now moves in a zigzagging motion and then suddenly stops again, the light then descends at high speed and seems to become larger. Being alone she decides to go into her home, but later that night something strange occurred.

As they were getting ready to go to bed her husband suddenly sees a bright orange light outside the window which illuminates the bedroom. Not knowing why, Mbak became very frightened and attempted to hide, her heart pounding loudly. She then heard a buzzing sound, like the sound of an exceptionally large bee and suddenly a glowing ball appears inside the bedroom. The glowing ball radiated heat, was very dazzling and appeared to be throbbing, seemingly “scanning” the couple. Mbak felt as if the ball was “doing something to her head”. Soon the sphere or ball disappears, and her next memory is of walking up in the morning feeling very dizzy.

Days later Mbak and her son reported experiencing memory losses, waking up late not knowing when she had gone to sleep. Her son also reported several moving shadows in the kitchen, and some objects in the house were found in different locations from where they were originally. On several occasions her soon woke up sleeping on the floor after having gone to bed on the mattress the night before. Even stranger, Mbak reportedly received a message from the visitors that explained that the moon did not belong to Earth, and they had a specific purpose on Earth, every race or species had a specific purpose, or goals/interests greater than can be understood by humans. They mentioned the “Tree of Life” that is where everything begins.

Location: near Boston, Lincolnshire, England

Date: March 2017

Time: night

A 55-year-old man from Freiston claims to have seen a “10 ft tall human-shaped creature” while out with his dog near Boston. Michael Campbell had been collecting wood to craft in Decoy Woods, near Friskney with his dog when he saw the figure. The 55-year-old man claims that the human-shaped figure moved “like the clappers” and scared his dog which bolted from the woods. According to Mr. Campbell he would regularly go down the woods and set up a campfire, but after seeing the figure he has not been back. 

Initially his dog was startled and began barking then he saw this 10ft tall figure dart through the woods. It was hard to describe what it looked like, but it was hunched over and growled at him and his dog as they chased after it. After it growled, his dog ran off, so he ran off after the dog. The creature was crashing through the branches which terrified Campbell. He also remembers seeing a badger ripped apart and its was not something that a fox would do.

Location: Arizona (exact location not given)
Date: March 2017
Time: night
The witness was about 15-weeks pregnant when she experienced a bizarre ‘dream’. In it she saw a crashed craft and flew it using her mind. A couple of days after that she is convinced, she was actually abducted.
She was lying in a room with metallic walls, similar to a hospital room you would see in a futuristic Sci-Fi film. She was laying on a bed, not strapped down but was wearing a gown. She looked to the right and sees a tall Nordic-like woman (which reminded her of the blonde version of Arwen from LOTR). And there were about six Greys behind her, about 4-5 ft tall. She cannot remember what they were wearing, but it almost looked as if they were naked, which she knows they could not have been. She ‘knew’ that the woman was a Pleiadian. The woman spoke to her, not with her mouth but like, “through her eyes” (telepathically?). She told the witness, “He is the prophecy child. You are safe.” And she just remembered repeating that in her head. She felt calm and almost at peace. She was not scared. She had never been told the sex of her baby, but for as long as she remembered she always knew her first born would be a boy born in October, and a year later, that is exactly what happened. The Nordic woman knew she would be having a boy before the doctors did.
She knew she had been abducted because she had fallen asleep in the living room of her mom’s house, and she had woken up, upside down, on her sister’s bed. She does not remember falling asleep, but she remembers it was around midnight when she last looked at the clock, and when she woke up it was either around 3am or 5am. She cannot really remember. Her entire life she has always seen shadow people. Her grandmother (on her father’s side) and her daughters have seen a plethora of UFOs in their lifetime. While in the hospital later she suffered kidney sepsis, but it did not affect the unborn fetus.

Frightening Deformed Black-Eyed 'Humanoid' Encountered Near Tucson, Arizona

A man is walking his dog in a small town near Tucson, Arizona when he approaches a strange person ahead of him. It turns out to be a deformed humanoid that, after chasing the witness, suddenly vanishes.

I came across a scary post from last evening:

"I don't know what to say. I'm not really a big believer in certain paranormal things, or unexplained phenomenon. I mean, it's not that I don't believe. I'm definitely open to it. It's just that I haven't seen or experienced enough of it to believe, if that makes sense. Though I do have this feeling inside that there's something out there, I don't know what it is. I can't really explain it better but I just instinctively believe that there's something more out there. I feel it calling us. I say "us" because I've always felt energy from people and I feel the same kind of energy at different geographical locations when there's nobody there. I think I'm feeling whatever's out there and I feel it calling for us. Not just me, I'm not special. I swear I feel it calling for us. Like it's waiting for us to wake up. I'm sorry if I'm rambling. I got really freaked out tonight. And I just had to run into the backyard because my dog and my neighbor's dogs were going crazy over something in the wash behind our house.

It's 9:30 pm where I'm at. The incident happened about 33 mins ago (evening of May 20th). My town (near Tucson, Arizona) doesn't have a lot of street lights, it's got regulations on light pollution because we have a few university and privately owned telescopes nearby. So the majority of our streets and neighborhood are dark compared to the city. I was out walking the dog, our usual nightly walk. Tonight, I decided to call a friend and catch up with her. I like talking while I walk because time goes by so much faster for me. I'm headed up the main road that brings you in and out of our neighborhood. It's kind of S-shaped and long enough that I can up and down it twice and be tuckered out.

As I'm walking the last curve of the "S" shaped road that leads to the main road I see this figure come into view. I can make out his silhouette from the lights on the main road. He's standing on the opposite side of the road near the entrance to my neighborhood. The body structure looked like a male to me, tall with broad shoulders so I'm going to say "he" from here on out. The way he was standing immediately had me concerned. He was kind of hunched forward, head down like he was holding or looking at his stomach. His legs were bent in towards each other at the knees and he was just standing crooked. Meth-heads, addicts and people with mental health issues are no strangers to this town, just like the big cities these days, so that was my original thought.

"A meth-head found his way into our neighborhood" I said to my friend as casually as talking about a stray cat. I feel kind of embarrassed to admit this. I was talking about another human, possibly sick human in such a callused manner. And to be honest when I'm scared like I was I kind of talk tough because I think it's going make me braver or something. But anyway, my friend says "What?" I say "Some meth-head looking mofo is standing at the entrance to my street." The very second I finished saying this he stood straight up and turned slightly towards me, not enough for me to see his face but as if we was listening to me. I told my friend this and other than a mumbled "WTF" from her end, I really didn't hear anything else she said as my heart started beating hard. I guess the blood rushing through my ears blocked out the sound. I then say to her, in a very low voice, "I think this guy heard me."

It sure as f*ck looked like he heard me. I mean he could have, I wasn't exactly whispering and I do drag me feet sometimes. It was like my friend just understood me, she didn't ask "what?" or say "huh" she simply said "what's he doing now?" as if she could feel what I was seeing. I said "he's just standing there but he kind of turned towards me." She replies, "maybe turn around or go down another street, what's Sam doing?" (Sam is my dog, large mixed breed, semi protective of me and the fam). I look down and Sam is standing still, eyes fixated on the man. He does this same thing when strangers approach our house or even out in public when someone he doesn't know approaches our 6 yr old daughter. "He's frozen, alert, starring at the guy." I say. Sam's ears are raised, he's definitely concerned about the man. I glance up and the man shifts to the right as if the sidewalk suddenly moved and he was trying to catch his balance. Sam flinched, alert, he lunged forward and let out a low grumble-y bark. "Sam says it's time to go," my friend on says. "Yeah, no shit," I reply and we turn around. I tell my friend I'll call her back as I wanted to pick up the pace and get home. She says "yeah, no worries, call me when you're home so I don't worry."

I hang up and start walking briskly, Sam and I both keep turning around checking the status of the crooked man. The road curves so we loose sight of him real quick. I have my flashlight in hand ready to go. It's the only thing I had on me tonight. It's made of solid steel so I was holding it like a weapon. Sam whimpers and lets out a small growl. He usually whimpers like that when he sees a rabbit or lizard but the growls are reserved for strangers and/or uncomfortable situations, which this was. I thought I was going to turn around and see the guy standing right behind us. Holy f*ck. I did turn and I did see the man, he wasn't that close but is was obvious he was following us. I could see his legs shuffling. He was walking really weird. It was like small awkward steps but his body was moving faster than it should for such small steps. He was gaining on us fast. Sam turned completely around and did his little stoic guard dog thing, ears up, head down, looking like he was going to attack. For a brief second I thought to myself, "what if it's a just a handicapped neighbor out for a walk and I'm misjudging this situation because I watch too much Bedtime Stories or something? Maybe I should say hello."

So... I say "hello." Nothing. No reply, nothing, just silence. But Sam starts growling again. He's quickly closing the gap between us and I'm at a loss on what to do. What really started freaking me out, there was no sound. We live in the desert, our sidewalks and streets always have debris, dust, rocks, dead leaves, branched, mesquite pods, something is always strewn all over the walkways. You can always hear someone walking in our neighborhood. Even if the sidewalk was clean and clear of debris you would still hear foot steps and from the look of his awkward shuffling it should be making a lot of noise. I raise the flashlight. I often think that maybe my flashlight would come in handy as a blinder if nothing else, it's a very bright light. I click it on and pretty much sh*t my pants.

His face looked like something from a horror movie, distorted and bent out of shape as if someone took a photo of a face mid scream and then stretched it out. His eyes were black, I did not see any white in them at all. His mouth was open and stretched down and up, again as if someone stretched a pic of a distorted demon face. Sam saw this too and started barking. I immediately clicked the flashlight off, instinctively, I didn't want to see that face anymore. Sam starts pulling me towards the crooked man, I think he's going go into attack mode. But I don't want to get closer to whatever this is coming at us. My heart is racing at this point, beating so hard I thought I was going to fall over, like that sudden rush you get when you stand up too fast but times ten. My mind is trying to rationalize this. "I'm seeing things," I tell myself. "Look again and you'll see" I say to myself. I turn the light on again and as soon as it illuminates his distorted face I see his already big twisted mouth open even wider and then he vanishes. Just f*cking vanishes. Poof, gone, blinked off like a gif just went blank on a computer screen.

We took off, full sprint all the way home. I tell my fiancé I saw someone that freaked me out, a meth-head. I don't go into details because this kind of stuff really freaks her out and she'll be up all night. I call my friend and tell her what happened and that I'm home safe. I get on here and start typing when the fiancé comes in and tells me the dogs are going nuts and that someone is walking through the wash behind our house. "Maybe it's the same crackhead?" she asks. I went out and checked but was too late to see anything." 

Sam and I are awake and sitting in the living room. I didn't call the cops. I think (I hope) that thing is gone." DT

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

UPDATED: Chicago / Lake Michigan Winged Humanoid Regional Interactive Map

Huge Bat-Winged 'Dragon' Recently Observed Flying Over Chicago's Portage Park Community

A North Chicago Portage Park community resident and his neighbor observed a huge dragon-like cryptid flying overhead while working in their yards on Tuesday May 18, 2021.

Today, I received a new report of an unknown winged being observed over North Chicago:

I just received a telephone call for a witness 'F' who witnessed, what he describes as, a flying dragon in the Portage Park community of Chicago. The location is approximately 2 mile east of O'Hare International Airport.

The witness and his neighbor were outside working on their lawns. It was Tuesday May 18, 2021 at around 1:30 PM local time in the vicinity of W. Addison St. & N. Austin Ave. 'F' is a 69 year old man of Sicilian descent who was assisting his neighbor 'R' while working in his yard. 'F' said that his back was hurting him, so he sat on the front steps and leaned back. As he did this, he looked above the neighborhood and observed a huge winged being flying overhead.

'F' states that it was shaped like a Brontosaurus (he mentioned, for those who remember, that it looked like the old Sinclair Gasoline toy dinosaurs that they handed out to customers. I remember this because my great uncle owned a Sinclair station back in the 1950s-60s in Hanover, PA).

It had the long neck and viper-like head, thick body and a long tail that ended in a spade-shape appendage. The bat-like wings extend broadly from the side, almost the same width as the length of the creature's body. 'F' states that it may have been 250-300 feet in altitude, hard to tell since it was an overcast day. The creature was dark grey and black throughout its length. The wings were definitely large enough that he could tell it had a membrane / skin structure.

After 'F' and 'R' watched for a few seconds the winged beast lowered its head / neck and dipped towards its left. It then flapped the wings twice and quickly disappeared towards the north.

When 'F' talked to me, I could tell that he was shocked by what he saw. He was coherent, precise and quite relieved to be able to talk to someone about this. His brother found my telephone number online and insisted that 'F' call me. He hedged for 2 days, but eventually made the call. He had no idea of the winged humanoid sightings in the Chicago / Lake Michigan region until his brother mentioned it to him.

He also mentioned that if he had heard someone recount this experience to him that he would out-of-hand discount it. He has never bought into of cryptids and the supernatural. As of May 18th, he became a believer and wants to know what it was he observed that afternoon. Lon

Have you had a sighting of a flying humanoid or huge bat-like creature in the Chicago, Illinois metro area / Lake Michigan region?

'Black Eyed Kid' Becomes Violent While Begging For Money

A couple in Matamoros, Tamaulipas, Mexico, after leaving a movie theater, encounter a black eyed kid who was insistently begging for money. The situation became threatening causing the witnesses to flee in fear.

I recently came across the following account:

"This happened to me and my wife 3 years ago around 1 am in shopping mall in Matamoros, Tamaulipas, Mexico after exiting a movie. That day we were pretty broke. I just had money for the movies but not for the parking (here in Mexico all the public parking lots cost), so we decided to park the car behind the shopping mall, on a back alley.

When we were out of the movie, the shopping mall access to the back alley was closed, so we had to walk our way up to there. When we were about to arrive to the car, a small kid looking around 6-7 age-old pulled my shirt from behind asking for some spare change (this is something really common in Mexico - there are tons of beggars everywhere). I said, "sorry kid, I'm broke, I have no spare change." The situation seemed fishy, so I opened the car with the remote key and made signs to my wife to enter the car fast. The kid asked again. The whole time he was looking towards the ground. It was a really dark alley, so wasn't able to see his face clearly. I was using my phone flashlight to see around. That's when something makes my radar go crazy. I remember the hour, I see on my watch 1:33 am.

In Matamoros, no beggar kids are out at that time, especially in an alley like that, unless they're trying something sketchy (like robbing you or worse). Without looking back I rushed inside the car, and placed the locks on it. While viewing the rearview mirror saw I him staring directly at us. His eyes were like a void, a deep dark black that made all of my body enter into a fight or flight stance. He had a smile so evil that got my heart racing incredibly fast.

He ran next to my door and knocked on the glass while staring directly at me, asking for money over and over again. He tried to open the door by pulling the handle restlessly. As soon as he let go of the door handle, I turned on the car and made a run for our safety. The kid started running behind us, almost at the same speed of the car, while screaming at us. Finally, we reached a highly transited avenue and the kid was nowhere to be seen. Needless to say, my wife and I were scared shitless.

From time to time, we drive by there at 1 to 3 am trying to find that kid again. We have never seen him. My wife was there too, she also saw the eyes of that kid." DZ

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

UPDATED: Chicago / Lake Michigan Winged Humanoid Regional Interactive Map

'Michelin Man' Beings / Extraterrestrial Sightings & Encounters

Several reports and personal accounts involving 'Michelin Man-Like' beings, possible extraterrestrial based entities. Interesting collection of bizarre incidents.

I recently came across the following account:

"I was reclining on my couch. Staring at the ceiling while I listened to some music. If it helps, I was listening to The Who.

A little while later I notice myself zoning out to thoughts and theories and what if scenarios that would just give me stress.

So I snap out of it and look to my side and there he is.

The Michelin Man. About a foot away from my couch. Hand held up and head leaning in towards me.

He didn’t look scary. I wasn’t scared.

I was just curious.

It was as if he was about to grab me but I saw him and like some cartoon, he stopped midway.

And I saw him walk backwards while still looking at me.

He went behind the curtains of the gallery and just sort of disappeared between them.

For some really, strange reason, I didn’t feel like getting up and investigating. I just. Laid back and resumed my music.

It just kind of sunk into me now and I thought I’d share. I don’t feel scared or threatened or anything. In fact I find myself smiling a little thinking about it.

I don’t know what’s really going on.

I had another weird encounter with an anteater looking humanoid so idk what’s up with my house and humanoids. But that was definitely far scarier than this." JM

Sightings and encounters with 'Michelin Man' (the cartoon mascot of Michelin Tire Company) beings is not that uncommon. Below are reports of similar entities:

-----

Strange Beings Near Jerez de la Frontera (Province of Cadiz), Spain - June 1960

The information comes from Antonio Ribera, who was questioned by the witness during a UFO lecture he (Ribera) gave in Jerez de la Frontera. Given the distance of the events from his home, Ribera passed the data on to Vicente-Juan Ballester and the Centra de Estudios Interplanetary Studies, which publishes Stendek — trans.). Through this latter individual, the writer obtained knowledge of the event, and contacted the witness to undertake the investigation.

The incident occurred in May of 1960 (the witness does not remember the exact date), at about 1:00 p.m. The encounter was at a crossroads between Arcos de la Frontera and El Bosque (both towns being in the province of Cadiz), not far from Jerez, where the witness lives. Five kilometers (3 miles) from the site is the Embalse (Dam) de Bornos, and from there the road to Villa-martin branches off.

The witness was on a motorcycle, returning from Prado del Rey (also in the province of Cadiz), a town not far from the site of the incident.

There was not enough opportunity to get to know the witness well, but it should be stated that he is a mature man, a teacher, with an excellent predisposition to collaborate with the writer, to whom he provided all kinds of details.

Don Miguel Timermans Ceballos was motorcycling from Prado del Rey to Jerez, at the date and time indicated, when he discerned a strange human-like being about 150 meters (500 feet) away, on a short steep uphill incline of the highway that was ahead of him. He describes the being as follows:

"He was completely red, from head to foot, and suddenly appeared at the edge of the highway, rather tall, something like two meters (6'-7") or more, having trouble walking, and his walking was like a mechanical doll, that is to say, like a robot, with stiff arms."

Timermans stopped his motorcycle, tremendously surprised, and got ready to observe better. The humanoid was walking on the edge of the road, and before going six steps, another individual of similar characteristics appeared, and followed him. Like his predecessor, he appeared suddenly. The second humanoid was not so tall, as he measured about one meter twenty centimeters (3'-ll"), and though he was also dressed in red, he had one difference with respect to his predecessor: he had a black boot. The witness does not remember if the 'boot" was on the left foot or on the right one, but he certifies that he saw it like that.

The two humanoids then crossed the highway at an angle. Due to the fact that at that time (but not any more) this route was of white earth, our driver perceived the red of their "garments" with all clarity, as well as the ringed outlines of the beings, with the classic shape of the "Michelin man," which had been reported in Type-I cases in different parts of the world.

Timermans decided to get closer, while he debated with himself over the danger entailed in his decision, so he again started up his vehicle. On reaching the curve in the highway to head toward the slope where the humanoids were located, they had disappeared in the same mysterious manner that they had appeared. The witness had taken a few short moments to arrive there, but the apparitions were no longer in sight.

The time of the observation from the first look — which we described — is some thirty seconds.

The witness told us that if there had been someone else with him, he would have proposed to get off his cycle to go looking for the two beings in the vicinity, but as he was alone, he did not do it. - Miguel Peyro Garcia, APRO, July 1980

"CONTACT CASUALTY ON REUNION"

A sighting of capital importance took place on the Island of Reunion [which is situated in the Indian Ocean between Mauritius and Madagascar] on the plain known as La Plaine des Cafres. The date of the siqhting was July 31, 1968, and the time, 9.00 a.m.

The witness, M. Luce Fontaine, is aged 31, a farmer, married, with a family, his wife being a teacher. Everybody is in agreement in considering him a serious, hardworking man, who is completely worthy of trust:

"I was at [the] kilometre 21 [mark], in a small clearing in the middle of a forest of acacia trees, that morning, and I was bending down and picking some grass for my rabbits when I suddenly saw a sort of oval-shaped cabin in the clearing. It was 25 metres from me, and as though suspended at a height of four or five metres from the ground. The extremities of it were dark blue, the centre part lighter, more transparent rather like the windscreen of a [Peugeot] 404. Above and below it had what looked like two glass feet of shining metal.

"In the centre of the cabin were two individuals with their backs towards me. The one on the left turned right round and so faced me. He was standing, small, about 90 centimetres in height, enveloped from head to feet in a sort of one-piece overall a bit like the suit worn by the 'Michelin man". The one on the right simply turned his head round towards me, but all the same I had time to catch a glimpse of his face, which was partly masked by a sort of helmet.

"Then both turned their backs to me, and there was a flash, as strong as the electric arc of a welding machine. Everything went white around me. A powerful heat was given off and then as it were a sort of blast of wind, and a few seconds later there was nothing there any more.

"Then [ approached the spot over which the object had been. There were no marks. The object had a diameter of 4 or 5 metres and was about 2 1/2 metres measured through from top to bottom. It was of a bluish colour, with white on the upper and lower parts.

'"I told my wife all about it, and then the Gendarmerie, and everyone at once believed me."

Such was the first piece of testimony given by M. Fontaine, and next day the enquiry began. He then explained more precisely to the investigators that, seen "face-on", the machine, egg-shaped in appearance, looked in fact like two whitish saucers, shining like aluminium, placed face to face. - Lumieres dans la Nuit - Nov. 1968

Wave Hi To The Michelin Man!

On Sunday, March 14, 1976, the last thing on the minds of Vicente Corell and his wife Carmen was an encounter with beings from another world. Their son had just been drafted in Spain's compulsory military service and tearful goodbyes had been exchanged at the Draftee Induction Center (CIR-7) located in the town of Marines. After spending the day in the local, the Corells began the long trip home to the town of Almenara, driving along small roads of Spain's Castellon region.

At around 10:00 p.m., the couple found itself facing a strange phenomenon in the night skies -- a brilliant white oval that floated lazily to the left of their own car. Believing at first that it might be the headlights of a car on a nearby hill, the Corells steered their Renault 4L toward their ultimate destination. No sooner had the vehicle gone a few hundred feet did they become aware of the fact that all was not well.

The alarmed couple thought that they were driving into a "luminous tornado" of sorts as a very curious object appeared to rise out of the ground. Bathing the object with his car's high beams, Mr. Corell was startled to see that it was a person.

"I suppose that it had two legs," he would tell distinguished Spanish investigator Juan José Benítez, who investigated the case. "because it reminded me of a human profile. However, since they [the legs] were so close together, it looked more like a column than a human being. The thing was tall, good-looking [sic] and wore a close fitting, one-piece outfit..."

The outlandish entity stood on the ground in what Vicente Corell described as a military "ten-hut" position --arms stiffly at its side and ramrod straight, looking at the oncoming vehicle.

The couple's initial fascination changed to fear as the Renault's lights suddenly went out, leaving them in pitch blackness. The smell of burning wires soon filled the passenger compartment and Corell was forced to pull over. While all this happened, the entity vanished into the darkness. Vicente and Carmen Corell, their car's electrical system ruined, were left to wonder what had happened.

According to researcher Benítez, Mrs. Corell proved to have a much better recall of the situation than her husband, adding the interesting detail that the entity's outfit was made of "narrow, slightly inflated bands" from its neck down to its waist. She went as far as to describe the entity as similar to Bibendum, the world-famous Michelin Man, "only less so."

I received the following account in 2015:

"Hello - when I was in my early teens, I witnessed something that I have never been able to explain. This occurred in northern Minnesota. I have included a picture of what it looked like to me.

I was in the woodlot behind the barn around 9pm. It was in July 1971 and I was out there with my Collie dog 'Bonnie'.

Bonnie started barking and running towards the far edge of the woods. I called for her, but she continued running. I started to chase after her. As I got nearer to the small field, Bonnie was laying down looking towards the sky. I looked in the same direction and saw a bright yellow light coming towards us.

The light got brighter and larger. Bonnie barked a few more times and ran back into the woods - she was scared. Well, I was scared also. The light was hovering above me. I felt paralyzed - I wanted to run but just couldn't move.

I looked at the light and started to make out a shape. I have always said that it was a 'balloon man' - it was round in the body and segmented leg and arms. The head was a bright yellow light. I couldn't see a face, just a bright blinding light. It hovered for a minute then moved towards me. It was right in front of me. I'd say it was 8 foot tall and very wide. There was an intense heat coming from it also - I had trouble breathing and was very uncomfortable. Then it started to hover and circle around me. I thought I was going to pass out. Then suddenly it just disappeared - simply vanished. As soon as it did, I dropped to the ground and started shivering. I could move but I was so cold and felt weak and sick. I laid there for a long time.

I heard my Mom calling and then Bonnie was beside me barking. My Mom was frantic and tried to get me to my feet. I couldn't stand. I was just too weak to move. Soon my older brothers showed up and they carried me to the house.

I was sick in bed for about a week. The doctor said I had a severe reaction to poison sumac, which I know wasn't correct. I had a sore red rash on my face and arms. The 'balloon man' burned me somehow and had weakened me.

After I recuperated I told my Mom what had happened. She was surprised by what I described. She knew I didn't have poison sumac, but she didn't question the doctor. I never told anyone else about my contact with the 'balloon man', but I told my brothers not to go into the far field at night. They just laughed.

Was this a UFO or an alien? Your email was on an extraterrestrial forum, so I thought I'd write you. I still live near the farm and there have been a few UFO reports in the area (Marshall Co.) according to people I know nearby. Thanks for your attention." Roger

NOTE: I emailed Roger and received a bit more information. His dog 'Bonnie' died not long after the event...apparently from an acute heart ailment. I mentioned to him that there had been a history of Michelin Man-like beings, though I was not sure what it was he encountered. Lon

Pale 'Crawler' Humanoid Stalks National Guardsman at Fort McCoy, Wisconsin

[image error]

A National Guardsman, stationed at Ft. McCoy, Wisconsin, encounters a pale crawler humanoid that steadily stalks him during night land navigation training.

I recently came across the following account:

"I want to share an experience I had while training with my National Guard unit at Fort McCoy, Wisconsin. I moved from enlisted to officer via ROTC, and was attached to a unit in my prospective MOS while in the program. I don't really want to give specifics on my service, as the community is small enough to identify me to peers.

In 2014 my platoon decided to conduct night time land navigation at Fort McCoy from 2030 to 0030. While the Army is typically all about buddy pairs, night land navigation is one of the few cases we can do things solo if we so choose. Having done night land navigation plenty before I step off alone, compass, map, and headlamp in hand.

For those who do not know; land navigation involves seeking out markers on a course by plotting their coordinates on a map and moving there via terrain reference and compass. At night this is typically done without light as much as possible. When light is used it is red. This minimizes damage to night vision. Ostensibly, these methods also keep you concealed in a tactical environment when employed with noise discipline.

I bring this up so you can understand a few things about my circumstance. I was moving through the woods while making a token effort to be hard to spot/hear. The woodland I was in was part of a larger forest system, but was frequently traveled. That night we had some 15 soldiers clomping around. My illumination was a togglable headlamp, but was toggled to be red when turned on. To cycle to white light I have to turn it off twice (the cycle was off- solid white- off - flashing white - off -solid red - off - flashing red - off - solid white).

My assigned points will take me to the other side of the course and back. A good hour and a half of walking as the crow flies. They're more or less in a straight line so I estimate two and a half hours out and back. I know if I come back too early I might be given another set of points. So I resolve to walk out, take a break for an hour then mosey on back.

The first half of this goes as planned, I get my points without much trouble and wind up sitting on a hillside at around 10 at night. It's cloudy, but the moon is full. I can see well when the sky is clear, poorly when it's not. Occasionally, I see a red light bobbing in the distance below me. Once a pair of platoon members pass down the hill from me, using white light to try to read their map. I startle them when I ask if they needed help.

At the end of my break there's no more motion in my area. Most people had likely already walked out and back, or they were too lost and took the handrailing road home. I'm feeling pretty at one with my surroundings, having sat in the same spot eating stale Skittles for a good long while. Owls hoot, trees sway, all is well.

I trot down my hill and step through some brush. I'm in a clearing where prairie intersects forest. There are some dead trees in the area, one of them is split half way up. At the top (~ 15 feet) I can make out a head and shoulders silhouette against the clouds backlit by the moon. I walk up to ask how they got up there (and if they're stuck) when the shadow twitches and I get the impression it's turned toward me. I stand there looking at it, and it's maybe looking at me.

The situation feels off, but I'm not going to let a battle buddy punk me. I ask if they need a hand. Midsentence, the moonlight comes back. It's clear the thing on the tall stump is not a soldier.

This moonlight glimpse is the best look I get at the thing. It looks like a stretched out bald person. Its long arms are clutching the stump. I can't make out the face, but it looks pinched. By that I mean I couldn't see its eyes or mouth, like they were small and in the middle of the head. It's skinny like it hasn't eaten, but it's tall and obviously strong to have made such a vertical climb.

It was definitely facing me. It probably was the whole time I was in the clearing. Maybe since I came down the hill. Maybe my speech startled it.

I swear loudly. It rapidly scurries down the trunk. I flick on my red light and catch it on all fours moving toward the brush line in the direction I'm heading. Automatically, I keep toggling the lamp to be in white light. That means it goes off, then to flashing red. In the flash I see the thing at the wood line, but I think it's flipped around and is backing in (probably to keep eyes in me). In the few seconds it takes for me to get to white light it's gone.

I scan the tree line which is silent. When it moved there was a scraping noise, plus the woodland brush is dense. If it was still running I would hear it. I reason that it must have stopped. It must still be watching me. I fumble out my knife and keep looking around the woods in front if me. After ages I start inching along a perpendicular path to my initial route of travel, an angle that will link me up with the hardball road that runs up and down the side of the course. Once in the road I can take it back to where my platoon is parked.

My major problem is that the road is ten minutes of walking away from my current position, mostly woodland. That can't be helped, I have to get out of the clearing first. My progress on that front is painfully slow. I'm fighting my natural urge to freeze in place like a deer in the headlights.

After side stepping a good 10 meters I hear a corresponding rustling and think I see movement. It's enough to get me to turn and bolt, right into a downed log which trips me. I scramble up to my feet and look back to the wood line where there is a audible commotion. I glimpse a leg and ass moving back into the woods. At this point I'm done with the whole situation, but don't want to run again. I start power walking to the road, turning to look as much as I can while seeing what the thing is doing.

Over the movement of my own kit I can hear it moving along side me, parallel. As I near the end of the clearing I think I hear it picking up pace as if to cut me off. I make the decision to sprint. When I enter the woods my path is clear, but I think I can hear it in my periphery. I don't stop, and run hard until I hit the paved road. I bite it hard a few times along the way, but recover with a frantic speed I cannot consciously replicate.

Once in the road I run perpendicular to the forest until I don't think I hear it anymore. I'm winded from my break out run. From the middle of the road have good visibility and decide to walk to catch my breath.

It's quiet for a while. Then I hear a branch move around thirty feet in the air from the woods I had just fled. I snap my gaze up, see a pale ovular face, half in shadow peeking at me from around a trunk. I take off again. After way too long I make it back to the headlights of our LMTVs. Its 1215.

"What happened cadet, did you get lost out there?" "You're covered in mud. Did you fall down?" "Why are you out of breath?"

"I got lost in my way back."

I knew better than to claim I saw a monster. Already my reaction had left me feeling foolish.

In the years since drilling at FMC I have never experienced anything like that again. McCoy does not have a history of disappearances, as far as I know neither do the two closest towns (Sparta and Tomah). I've done night land navigation alone a few times since without issue. This is less from courage, and more from me deciding I must have misinterpreted a the situation. Maybe the world is weirder than I thought." R

Two Huge 'Hooded' Cryptid Birds Observed in Monmouth County, New Jersey

A New Jersey woman describes 2 unusually large avian cryptids that her and her mother observed in Monmouth County back in the late 1980s. Any thoughts?

I recently received the following account. It was followed up by a telephone conversation:

"My mother was born in Eastern Pennsylvania in 1909. She knew most of the New Jersey and Pennsylvania birds by sight and call. I would say that she was a very serious avian enthusiast. This is something I never learned.

In the late 1980s we went to a u-pick-it farm just north in New Egypt, NJ (I believe in Monmouth County). It was summer. The farm was located in area of small farms, with houses and roads scattered here and there.

Upon exiting the farm I drove slowly as the road was winding. For some reason, my mother and I both looked up and saw two birds, both taller than men, perched, hiding in the branches of a tall tree. No kidding. Like no birds either of us ever saw. The height, sitting on the branches, was well over 6 foot. If you can ascribe expression to birds, they were not happy to have us looking at them. They were literally 'glaring' at us.

They also had 'hooded' faces, similar to a nun's habit that completely covered the head down to the shoulders. They did have beaks, but short. The eyes were seen and were very large and round...but avian, similar to the eye placement of a raptor.

They had very short necks and were drab grayish in color. Their wings were at their sides. The wings were long, about to the end of their bodies. As we were in my car we weren't too terribly afraid. If I was walking, that would be another story.

This is not made up. Serious.

Thank you. SK"

NOTE: one of our team mentioned that during that time period there was a Great Adventures amusement park nearby, which had a safari attraction. Possibly a pair of escaped exotic birds, though I can't think of any bird that fits the description. Central New Jersey is well-known for cryptid winged beings...let alone a possible 'Jersey Devil,' but also dragon-like creatures and an occasional Pterosaur. Lon
