Large Red Eyed Winged 'Bulky Person' Observed in Oregon, Wisconsin

2 women in Oregon, Wisconsin encounter a red eyed winged being while it sailed across a road at night. They later observed it standing in a nearby field.

The following account was recently posted by Tobias & Emily Wayland of The Singular Fortean Society and Phantoms & Monsters Fortean Research:

Claire and Ashley, both of whom are 18-year-old women from Oregon, Wisconsin, said in a phone interview with investigator Tobias Wayland that they’d seen an eight-to-nine-foot-tall creature with a wingspan of 10 to 15 feet while driving outside of town last November 26th.

Ashley said that she had initially seen something unusual while driving between Oregon and Stoughton on Highway 138 at around 10 pm that evening.

"I was on that road because I was going to Stoughton for some stuff," she said. "I was driving my car. I noticed this thing—I couldn’t tell how big it was, it just looked like a black shadow—just start across the road, but it was probably a football field ahead of me. At first, I thought it was my windshield, because I have cracks in my windshield, but that doesn’t make sense because I’ve driven that road hundreds of times and I’ve never seen my windshield do anything like that. It was insanely fast. I was like ‘I think I just saw something, but I’m not going to say anything because I’ll sound crazy.’"

Later, at around 10:30 pm, both women were going for a drive together when they said they saw a flying humanoid swoop across the road in front of them at the intersection of Sand Hill Road and Rutland Dunn Town Line Road.

"There was a possum in the road, and we stopped because we didn’t want to hit it. We were driving around it, and then we looked up, and it was huge, like nine feet long," Claire said. "It was flying, and it swooped down across the road, and out of our sight. We were both like ‘You saw that too, right?’"

"[The creature] was like a quarter of a football field ahead of us. It was really close. It was way too big to be a deer," Ashley continued. “It was kind of reddish brown in color, I want to say, but it was darker. If we hadn’t stopped for that possum, it would have hit our car. That thing was huge. My first thought was ‘Dear Lord, it’s a pterodactyl.’”

A lamppost positioned at the intersection partially illuminated the being from underneath, they said, allowing them to determine its approximate color and dimensions.

According to the two women, the creature was headed north.

"It was too high up to be illuminated by the car’s headlights. The very bottom was illuminated, but we couldn’t see the top of it. It wasn’t fully illuminated, but light was cast on the underside," Claire said. "Since it was at the intersection that we normally turned at—we normally turn at that intersection because we make loops around town—it swooped from the south towards the north. When you get to the intersection you have to turn north, and I was terrified to turn north. I didn’t want to turn north."

Claire described the creature as looking “like Mothman,” and said “It looked like a very bulky person. Its limbs were a lot thicker than a human’s would be—a lot bigger around. It had these absolutely huge wings. There were arms on its side; actually, I didn’t know if they were arms, there were appendages on its sides, and the wings were on its shoulders or back, but I couldn’t really tell. I didn’t see its head when it swooped down in front of us. I didn’t see any head or neck when it swooped down."

They decided to continue their drive, eventually working up the courage to revisit the location of their sighting. At around 11 pm, as they drove by the area again, Claire spotted something unusual in a nearby field. 

Although the creature had first been seen heading north, when they returned, "it was standing on the south side [in a plowed down corn field]."

“We were at that point where we thought it would be gone, but then it wasn’t,” said Ashley.

Ashley, who was driving, didn’t see the creature standing in the field. Claire, however, said she saw a strange creature with “very pronounced red eyes.”

I looked out the back window and [the creature] was standing in the field. It was almost a full moon, so it was pretty illuminated. Its head didn’t look like it had a neck, it looked like it was just an extension of its body. It looked like a human had tucked their head into their shoulders.

It had very pronounced red eyes. We didn’t have any headlights in the back, and the only thing that would have reflected would have been the lamppost, so they were either reflecting really brightly or literally glowing. We go by that field all the time and I’ve never seen anything like that before or since.

The women described the creature as “super fast,” especially for its size.

"It was very fast, and the wings were very, very large," Claire said. "The body was so stocky. The silhouette was similar to how I would describe bigfoot, which I know, I’m using other known cryptids to describe this one, but that’s really what it looked like. There was no pronounced neck, but it looked very stocky. It had very large, birdlike wings. I couldn’t tell if it had feathers."

Ashley said that she thought that "the part illuminated by my headlights looked like reddish brown fur."

"It was either very fine feathers or fur," Claire agreed. "I didn’t really see a texture. There weren’t large feathers on the body—that I would have been able to see. The only thing I can say, is that when I saw the silhouette of it in the field, I could see jutting off points from the wings that I would call feathers, but I don’t really know. It could just have wings shaped like that."

Both women said that they screamed after seeing the creature fly over the road, and Claire added that she “froze with fear” in response to the sighting.

"[I felt] fear, yeah, there was also the element of ‘that’s not supposed to be here,'" Ashley said. "You just know that, whatever that is, it’s not from around here. It’s not supposed to be here."

"Yeah, like wrongness," added Claire. “We passed that place a couple more times, and the rest of the night we just got a weird there's-something-that-shouldn't-be-here feeling every time we were in that area.”

They both also noticed other unusual phenomena happening that same evening, such as deer moving away from the spot where they had seen the creature and unusual interference on the car’s radio.

"This was the weirdest thing that I noticed, it was way earlier, but it counts for the whole night basically. We kept seeing deer crossing the road," Ashley said. "I almost ran into two different deer on two different sides of town. Usually, if I see a deer at all, it’s one deer a night. Oregon does not get a lot of deer, and I saw over seven deer that night. And we saw a whole herd running away from that spot."

"They were freaked out, they were running away. They were panicky," added Claire.

The radio, said Claire, “kept glitching like crazy, and it hasn’t really done that before. It was cutting in and out, getting staticky, and then picking up another channel that was some gospel program. I know what channel that is and it’s very far away from the channel we were on.”

She added that the radio would glitch "only when we drove by that spot."

Only a few days later, on the evening of November 29th, Claire said she had another unusual sighting in “literally the same place.”

"I saw a shadow on the road, because we drive the same route every time we drive," she said. "I saw a shadow that looked like it, and then something run into the trees, but it was...all I could really tell was that it was winged and very, very big, but I couldn’t give you a definite shape."

Similarly to the sighting reported by Claire and Ashley, a man in Woodstock, Illinois, reported a sighting of an eight-to-nine-foot-tall being “covered in dark fur” with large wings on February 22nd, 2019. That witness said he thought the creature “may have been a bigfoot initially, but then noticed that it had a large set of membrane wings attached to the back, extending over the top of its head.”

Investigators Tobias and Emily Wayland visited both the Woodstock sighting area in 2019, and the area in which Clair and Ashley said they had their encounter only a few weeks ago.

The investigators went to the site of Claire and Ashley’s encounter twice, the first time at approximately 10:30 pm and again at around 2 pm about a week later. 

They didn’t notice any radio interference either time, however, upon review of the footage they recorded during their initial visit, they did notice some very unusual audio interference on both cameras used during the investigation. The same interference was present upon review of the footage taken on their second trip, although it was much lighter. Strangely, the interference was only recorded in the immediate area of the sighting.

That footage is slated to be released through the Singular Fortean Society’s Patreon page later this month.

The investigators were unable to find any signs of large satellite dishes, ham radio towers, or other equipment in the area that might be responsible for the interference.

Luminescent Crawler Humanoids Observed by Teens in Local Park

A groups of teens are in a local park at night investigating a previous strange occurrence. They encounter at least two luminescent humanoids crawling nearby.

I  found the following interesting account:

"There's a local park that's a few blocks away from my childhood home. There have been a lot of weird experiences I had with my childhood group of friends. A few examples are weird war-like or Jumanji type drums that would play while deep on the trails, people seeing lights flickering randomly in the woods where there shouldn't be lights at dusk, and people feeling like they're being watched or followed when they're alone.

The local community decided to build a jungle gym and a few swings, as well as a shelter with picnic tables. There was a little ceremony and it was a huge success, lots of trips there as a kid and a lot of fun had. In high school, I remember going out there at night to clear my head. This was in 2010. I'd sit out on the swings and just text. One night I heard my text tone go off and I looked at my phone but there were no notifications. It happens again and I realize it was in the woods behind me, about a hundred feet or so away. It happens again. I was freaked out so I head the other way and get on the road to walk home and the notifications keep pinging in those woods. So I end up jogging and then running until I couldn't hear it anymore.

I told some friends about this and we ended up deciding we'd go back on the weekend and walk the trails at night and try and get it to happen again. I was hesitant at first, but we were all big teens. One of my friends was a boxer, another a lineman. It was November now, and the night we got together to go it was kind of sleeting. Not hard enough to be a problem, just enough to be kind of annoying. So we head to the park and get into the woods, walking around with flashlights. We weren't taking it super serious, and laughing and joking. We end up in a kind of field area near a fishing pond. All simultaneously we kind of feel uncomfortable and uneasy. We more or less all didn't want to wuss out, so we start to cross this field and immediately I get goosebumps and my neck hairs all stand up.

We get to the other end of the field and someone jokes about that not being so bad. There were four of us and we all nervously laugh, before hearing a loud crash in the wooded area we just got to. All our flashlights scanned the trees frantically. Me and another friend turn the other way to check our flank and saw something we agree we can't even begin to make sense of. There for a brief second in the field, on the walkway, we both saw a creature that didn't move like any animal we have ever seen. It was almost luminescent as the flashlight seemed to shine back at us as it hit its skin. This thing looked like what I can only compare to as the Rake stories. It was boney, almost humanoid, but it was hunkered down and it drug its body with the front arms rather than moved with its back legs, and just slithered into the field. The two other guys still scanning the tree line shout they saw something and just took off toward where we saw that thing in the field.

Fight or flight kicked in. The other two of us just take off after them and we run, not stopping until we got out of the woods and onto the road. We stopped and stood there. We had our flashlights all looking at the woods, the sleet and our tired breathing the only sounds we could hear. Then the same crash again and what sounded like running footsteps. We ran all the way to my house.

The second part of the story, is that my two other friends who looked towards the woods saw something about 7 or 8 feet tall poke its head around a tree only 20 feet into the tree line. They said it had the same luminescent skin, that the lights reflected at them, but it had slits for eyes, like a cat, but the pupils were darker than black. They almost absorbed the light contrasting to the skin.

This is the first time I've tried to put it down into text. We've all remained friends since then, and none of us can explain what we saw and experienced that night. I couldn't sleep for weeks and was so uncomfortable living so close to the park, I rigged my windows up with cans with pebbles in them so that if something somehow messed with them while I slept, I'd be aware. We all kind of agree that with the fact my text tone was repeated, and other stories we've heard about wendigos, skinwalkers, and the goatman, we all have decided that could be what is out in those woods.

Since then, other people that I have never told this story to, have also mentioned having bizarre encounters there, but nothing like this. Not sure I know anyone who has been to that park and into those woods who don't have a weird story." SK

NOTE: I contacted the witness in order to get a location. If I do, I'll add it to the post. Lon

Scary Dogman Encounter in Yeovil, Somerset, UK

A Welsh man travels to Yeovil, Somerset to visit a friend. The friend leaves him alone that night, resulting in a scary encounter with a possible dogman in the stables.

The following account was referred to me:

"My encounter happened in mid-July 2015. It was a gorgeous Saturday and I was looking forward to traveling down from Wales to Yeovil, Somerset to spend a weekend at a friend’s house and have a relaxing weekend away. The drive was long and full of traffic on the way to Somerset. This was the first time I had ever been to his house where he lives alone.

I soon discovered that he lives far from any main roads, as I drove my car through winding country lanes 3 miles away from the closest 'A' road, with barely any houses around the location (just to help you imagine how dark it was that night).

Once I arrived we both decided to go to his local pub about 20 minute walk from his place to grab a meal as we both didn't feel like cooking. After we finished our dinner I excused myself for a after dinner smoke outside the front when I noticed two men, one of which had a large Irish Wolfhound. He seemed to be upset speaking to his friend (both looked late 60s to mid 70s in age). When I was eavesdropping on their conversation, the older man with his dog was explaining how two, yes two of his enormous Irish Wolfhounds went missing one night when he shut them out for the night.

I just dismissed this as dogs are stolen quite often. I stubbed out my fag and we walked back to his place. Soon after arriving at his house he told me he was going to spend the night at his girlfriend’s for a night of fun. He asked me if I would be OK staying at his place alone? Of course I replied, 'Sure mate. No worries.' This meant I could just chill, drink some tea, smoke and watch a film or two. I am normally a horror fan but being on my own and in the middle of nowhere that night I decided to watch a more sensible choice.

At 12:30 am my film of choice 'Die Hard' had finished. I went around the house, checking that the doors and large windows were locked, only leaving the smaller windows open, as it was extremely warm that night. I laid on his sofa to sleep with my sheet, completely engulfed in the darkness with not a single light on in the house or outside.

I had been asleep for an hour when I was a woken by a yipping noise! My eyes at this point were wide open laying there but listening to his horribly creepy noise. I guessed a dog but I’ve never heard a dog make that noise before. The noise was coming from the stables next door, which were empty, and was moving all around the house. After about 10 minutes it stopped.

I, being myself, wondered if it was a fox or foxes fighting and playing? So I rolled a cigarette, grabbed a torch from my car and walked out into the yard/drive to the rear of the house and stables. I was on guard in case it was a dog like them missing Irish Wolfhounds, which are very, very large dogs.

That's when I heard a loud, but very low rumbling growl from behind the stables. I completely froze. Shining my light onto the end of the stable I could see nothing there, but knew from hunting that there was something there. I tried to mimic the yipping I heard earlier (badly mimicking I will admit).

I quickly learned I made a horrible, horrible mistake.

Its head appeared only 25-30 foot from me, from the stables. Its head was about 3 feet off the ground on all fours. It was NO dog that I recognized. Once it completely appeared, its body was huge, lean and covered in thin, almost non-existing hair, but up towards the shoulders and head it had thick, black fur, pointy ears and a large snout like that of a German Shepherd, just a lot bigger and wider!

At this point I didn't know what I was looking at! It looked like a dog but it wasn't. It was far too large, and the human-like arms and shoulder sockets confirmed that.

It bared its teeth at me, rolling out a low and louder growl than before! I bolted back to the house, the fastest I have ever run, slamming the door behind me, locking it and closing the small window to the living room, drawing the blinds after. I was breathing uncontrollably and panicking, being unsure if it had followed me back, knowing it would have caught me if it had desired.

For the rest if the night I could hearing yipping and distorted barks circling the house until 4:30 am, when it all fell silent.

I have never been a believer of ghosts, ghouls, dogman, werewolves, vampires etc. But now, after what I have seen, if that was a werewolf or a dogman, I don't feel safe anymore.

I always thought them to be a creation of Hollywood and film makers, but now I know they are real living breathing things. I can say, hand on heart, I won't be returning to my friend's house. Nor will I go into the countryside or woods at night." Name withheld

Unexplained Cloaked / Transparent Creature Encounters in Cumberland County, Maine

A witness in Maine reports 2 strange occurrences. First, An unknown flying, though transparent, creature. Second, the scary approach of a heavy, but cloaked, animal or being.

I recently received the following accounts from a reader:

"I have had 2 experiences with something that I could either see through or was cloaked somehow.

1. (winter 1993 or 1994 - Bridgton, Maine)

The thing I saw was not a machine. I have no idea what it was but it was close to me and flying.

On a very cold winter night in '92 or '93 I stepped out of a house I was visiting to the car at about 10pm and looked up (Bridgton, Maine). It was exceptionally clear and starry (brilliant stars). Right away I saw movement above me. 

Something was moving, rapidly twisting and turning like a bird, like birds in a fight over some scrap. This thing was about 60 ft above me, looping back and forth within an area of less than 10 ft. It was about 5-10 ft across and it was transparent. It looked like it was made of glass, like a glass sculpture the way the stars behind it were distorted. I bought a glass sculpture of a bird to explain the way what is behind it is distorted due to the differing thicknesses and bulges on the surface... when moving, spinning, swirling wherever is behind it is visible but distorted.

I can't say for certain that it had wings but it moved like a bird. I got the sense that it was angry, distressed or just plain pissed-off. I would not have seen it except for the exceptionally starry night and the light from the stars behind this thing streaking/shifting/distorted. If it were cloudy or daytime I would not have seen it.

I watched it for about 3 minutes before it went out of sight behind some trees. I don't think I can properly convey how fast this thing was moving in tight twists and turns. It was like a living thing with a body, thicker in places, thinner in others...not uniform like a machine. If a person had body language like this I would say they were out-of-their-mind-angry.

I've never heard of anything like this or anyone who has seen anything like it in the sky.

2. Pleasant Mountain (Bridgton/Fryeburg, Maine) near the top of the fire lookout station trail, 1994 or1995

I hiked the western trail to the fire lookout tower (as I had many times before)...almost always with a dog but not this time. On the way down, not far from the top was a stretch where there were thick evergreens to my right (right side had steep rise) and to my left widely spaced trees (not evergreens)...ground sloping down to the left, light undergrowth, 200 ft visibility.

I heard something heavy charging me fast, very fast from the left. When first noticed I would guess it was just beyond my 200 ft visibility. It got closer and closer, I would say not more than 50 ft away when it stopped. I could not see anything. I should have been able to see a 20 lb dog. I know how a moose runs, it has long legs and a distinctive gait. I also know what a buffalo sounds like, shorter legs and a unique gait. It sounded like a big heavy buffalo... 

I have no idea what it was. I should have been able to see it because it was very big/heavy and close. It sounded like it had hooves. What I heard was not simple twigs breaking but like the thunder of a stampeding animal... ground shaking. It scared me. Only recently when I think of it did I consider that whatever it was stopped when it got close because it saw how big I was (about 310 at the time). Recently I have heard of other people being false charged by something they could not see and other witnesses reporting something cloaked like in the predator movie (heard these reports in the Missing 411 accounts).

If you ever hear of something seen in the sky like what I saw I would really like to know about it." GA

The Werewolf of Northumberland, Pennsylvania

The is the tale of the Northumberland Werewolf. It was believed, by the local people, that an old hermit was a shapeshifting wolfman after he was shot one night.

The following tale has been around for over a century and a half:

The area around Northumberland, Pennsylvania has had its share of strange occurrences over the years. In particular, the Todd Sees possible UFO abduction & subsequent death case. But there is also an older story from the mid-1800s that involves a possible 'werewolf.' 

The early German farming communities throughout Pennsylvania were plagued by wolf attacks on their livestock. Young May Paul lived on a modest farm with her reserved family near Northumberland, PA. May's major responsibilities on the farm included herding and tending to the family's sheep. The young lady was very well liked throughout the tiny community and had no trouble making friends. However she quietly caught the attention of an elder gentleman whom everyone was fearful of. He would often be seen following the young lady around town, as well as watching her from afar as she tended to the flocks. Their kinship seemed strange and disturbing to many individuals, though never seemed to cross any boundaries.

As strange occurrences began to happen on surrounding farms, the Paul family farm seemed to stay safe. Wolf attacks on the surrounding sheep herds were becoming common place. Onslaughts were being reported in broad daylight, yet the Paul family stayed safe from any encounters and didn't suffer one casualty.

Due to all the recent attacks on the docile creatures, bounties were being paid out for hunters who could produce a dead corpse.

Late one evening a nearby neighbor spotted the glowing eyes of a wolf being lit by the full moon. The man quickly retrieved his rifle and let off a fiery blast. The yelp and cries from the wolf echoed for acres. Feeling content that the predator was taken care of, the man retired for the evening. The following day, early dawn the man trudged through his land until he found a trail of blood. Through the thicket of trees he followed the crimson trail until he came upon the body of the elder gentleman. The man laid dead from a single gunshot wound to the abdomen.

When the community got wind of what had happened, locals immediately branded the hermit a werewolf. Hadn’t he always been strange and secretive, living alone, and keeping to himself? They buried his body in the dirt floor of his cabin, christening the spot Die Woolf Man’s Grob, which translated means “The Wolfman’s Grave.”

Strangely enough May Paul never had a single sheep perish due to a wolf attack, even though quite often a large gray wolf would be seen menacing about the perimeters of her property, staring so ominously at the woman from afar.

Black Eyed Kid: 'Let me in! I need something to eat!'

A teen boy is doing his homework when there is a loud knocking on the front door. He is surprised by a young boy demanding food. He later realizes the kid has black eyes.

The following account was on one of my older databases:

"I grew up a latch key kid. Parents did not arrive home until after 5 PM and so. One day after school (early teen), I was sitting at the dining room table doing homework, when I hear a very firm knock at the door. Like the kind that cops do. Our elderly neighbor knocked like this when he would come over for whatever reason, so I got up to answer.

I opened the door to reveal what appeared to be an 8 year old boy with sandy blond hair looking straight down. He was wearing a yellowish but sullied shirt under a grey zip up hoodie which was dirty as well. It was late spring in the south and I knew most nearly all the kids our age in our neighborhood and from our school, but did not recognize him at all. Not relegating myself as the pinnacle of knowing everyone, I figured he was a friend of one of my neighborhood friend's little brother, or something like that.

I said, “Hi, can I help you?” With a very assertive tone, he said, “Let me in! I need something to eat!” Baffled by this kid's gall, I said, “Do I know you?” When, this time he barked the same thing with a little more gusto but in a flat tone. Something was very weird about this kid. I asked if I needed to call his mom or anything, same answer. So, then I asked if he was friends of so and so. No response. I tried to make a little bit of further small talk with him, chummily tapping him on the shoulder. Surprisingly, he was literally as hard as steel. The whole time his gaze was fixed downward so I leaned in to get a look in his eyes. His eyes were f*cking black...a deep black. I asked him if he had been in a fight, no answer.

By this time, my alert sensors were up and running, thinking domestic abuse, by his seemingly sullen and brash attitude, etc. I started to get some crackers, and on the way, an alarm went off in my head, in thought. 'Why is his entire orbital area the same color as his eye...?' After grabbing the crackers and turning to further question him, in mid sentence I looked again at the doorway. He was GONE. Then I started to 'hear' the kid's voice in my head! It was like he was asking someone, “Why didn’t it work? It didn’t work.” I just brushed it off as a weird experience.

Fast forward several years later. I was 25, bored as hell one night, so I decided to read about this black eyed kid phenomena. Then the memory hit me like a hammer. I was freaked out!  Luckily, I had imparted this to a friend when it happened, and he does remember me telling this story." D

Frightening Cryptid Canine Encounter Near Decatur, Illinois

A witness is driving on a local road between high corn near Decatur, Illinois when a cryptid canine steps out onto the road. It eventually rises upright and walks back into the field.

The following account was reported to a local investigator in 1983:

"The witness pulled out of her driveway onto Needle Road in Hickory Point Township, Illinois, already looking across to the west field for deer and the condition of the corn. Then south she went for about 300 yards and a left turn onto Ash Avenue for approximately one-half mile turning south onto North Westlawn. Traveling south now, she was going extremely slow, no more than 25 miles an hour. Tall corn border both sides of the road.

As she drove, she watched for deer and thought that in another month the corn will be harvested.  “The creature had appeared some 60 yards in front of me. It had emerged from the cornfield to the left [east] of me on all fours. I tapped the brakes. From the offset I knew it was not a deer, dog or coyote. I had started coasting, not knowing which way the thing was going to go. As I coasted, getting closer by the second, I could see it had stopped and started looking north then south then north again. It started taking small steps, like in a slow motion movement, as if it were contemplating whether to continue or retreat to the field. However, it did not seem alarmed or in a hurry. Two small steps were taken, then it sniffed the ground or was listening or something.”

She continued, “It kept sniffing all the way to the road's edge, some 10 feet. Turning its head continuously – north to south, north to south. Now I was 30 to 40 feet from it. I kept tapping my brakes. At this point, it was at the gravel road edge and stopped sniffing, then the head turned again as if looking for traffic. It lifted its head and stepped upon the road. My vehicle is now at a crawl. At approximately half way across the road it slowly began to rise. I’ve never seen anything like this! By the time it got to the other side, it was standing erect on two legs, walking! It moved at a snails pace, again turning its head from side to side. I’m now less than 20 feet away. Approaching the west side of the cornfield it’s left appendage reached out and pulled back the corn – as if opening a curtain. As it went into the corn, I was all but even with it. Then it immediately disappeared into the field. The vehicle was at a dead stop. I even backed up, then pulled forward but could not see it.”

Her description was, “Straggly long hair, hanging 2 inches off its upper arms. Back hair was thick looking as if it was in need of a really good brushing. Its tail was about a foot long, straight and bushy. Ears were located on the side of its head and the size of a human, teardrop shaped, with hair hanging off of them. The corn was seven foot tall and this critter was at least six foot tall. It was so thin, like under nourished. The hair color was reddish-brown possibly due to the sunshine, it was bright that day. My only memory of the eyes is dark. The muzzle was like a wolf. It never opened it’s mouth. Long hair was also hanging off its paws or whatever they were. I didn’t get a look at the feet. It never made a sound and I didn’t smell anything strange. It never really looked at me, more like it was looking through me or passed me. I honestly was never nervous.” B

Black Eyed Child-Like Entities Experienced In Bayside, Queens, NYC Home

A home in Bayside, Queens, NYC is apparently inundated with unknown child-like entities with 'smoky' black eyes. The phenomena is confirmed by an associate.

I recently received the following account from an associate in Queens, NYC on 12/12/2020:

"A friend contacted me with a desperate plea. A friend of hers had told her that she had been hearing strange noises from the first floor and her basement. Like the running of bare feet. Up and down the stairs, barefooted slaps on the hardwood floors.

They're tried to ignore it and were doing well until they heard a loud shriek. Similar to how a child yells when arguing.

Her friend and her husband went to the first floor of their home and felt an unusual amount of heat. They then heard the sound of bare feet running past them to the basement doors.

They summoned their resolve and headed downstairs. At the base of the stairs they saw a small humanoid shape all black save for the white "face" which was featureless save for 2 black "eyes" that "swirled like smoke." The couple was hit with an overwhelming stench of "garbage" and sickly sweet smell of a decomposing body. The "child" suddenly grow in size and the couple was immediately stricken with fear. They grabbed their cats and went to a motel.

This is where I come in. My friend dropped me off with the keys at 12 am. I went in and noticed that there was an odd stifling, smothered, or stuffy sensation. Like too many people in a small room. You know that sound you hear when you're in complete silence? The shri "eeeeee?" I didn't even hear that. I went to the 2nd floor and went room to room. I felt nothing. Sound was normal up there. I could even hear street noises. Their gaming room was normal. Their bedroom was normal. Their work den was normal. I decided to make this my safe space and relaxed in the gaming room on a recliner with a book.

2:45 am rolls around and I sense something stirring in the back of my head. Something tells me to get ready and to go downstairs as soon as I feel the time is right. My instinct was never this clear and it has never steered me wrong.

Then at 3:00 i felt the words "NOW! GET READY, GABRIEL" form in my mind. I immediately go to the stairs looking down at the first floor. Sure enough I heard the sounds of bare feet padding across the wooden floor. I then had the sensation of something looking up at me. I felt anger and hate as if someone glaring at me. This infuriates me. I yell at the thing, scolding it for terrifying the couple and their cats.

I hear footsteps running away. I literally ran so fast down the stairs I sailed down. I went to the basement stairs. I was stopped by something in my tracks. Like someone put a blanket up as a barrier. I remembered reading Blavatsky say something about the membrane of reality or something. Feeling myself get angry at being stymied by something I literally pushed forward. It felt like walking in molasses.

Then the sharp smell of garbage rose followed by the smell of flatulence. I reached the top of the stairs and looked down. Despite the lights in the kitchen being on the base of the stairs looked intensely dark. Like, someone turned down the brightness.

Then I felt it. Someone staring up at me. I managed to push through this invisible molasses and made it to the basement. Even with a flashlight I couldn't see much of anything. I heard more footsteps but this time it felt as if there were multiple people. Kids in fact. A faint "whsssssh" was heard to my right. 

That's when I saw them. 3 or 4 small humanoid shadows. Opaque black but with pale featureless faces and black swirling eyes like smoke. We stared at each other for quite some time. I took a few steps forward and that's when I realized that they were staring through me or behind me. I felt myself get crowded even though there was nobody there.

Then I heard a most horrible sound. A sound like something licking its lips and wheezing. It said, "Leave us." That's when I noticed the basement seemed very hazy as if it was out of focus. For some reason the words "pierced the veil" popped into my head.

Now. I have been through a lot of sh*t in my life. Dangerous reckless sh*t. To the point fear has become an annoyance. But hearing that wet sounding gurgling voice made me curse in fear and I bolted. I took an Uber home.

Much to my severe anger, pictures I took were inconclusive and the digital recorder picked up nothing. But my clothes smelled badly from the encounter. I contacted my friend and told her to tell her friends to move as quickly as possible." Gabriel R.

NOTE: The area of Queens where this occurred was in Bayside. Gabriel stated later that he was at home later that night and started to become so unnerved that he was compelled to scratch out the sketch he has previously sent me. Gabriel is a client, who has experienced various encounters over the years. I'm considering conducting a remote view session on the location. Lon

Huge Upright Canine Encountered in Jefferson Township, Ohio

A group of friends were riding in a van at night in Jefferson Township, Ohio when they encountered a huge upright canine standing in the ditch along the road.

The following account was recently sent to me:

"One night in 2005 we had crossed onto Stacey Rd in Jefferson Township, Ohio, going between 30 and 35 mph. Just after the first bend near a juniper tree, I saw something in my headlights. Squatting/sitting in the ditch was something bigger than a man and covered with fur from head to toe. It had a definite dog-shaped head and large ears.

I watched in disbelief as we passed this thing, with my other 3 friends in the van also looking on in awe and hysteria. As it looked through the passenger side window of the van at us, its eyes had a yellowish color reflecting the moonlight. Its eyes and face were about level with the middle of the window. The head looked bigger than a human's head, and was definitely canine, the ears even more apparent in looking at it dead on. It was close enough, that if that window would have been open, my friend in the passenger seat could have reached out and touched it.

As we passed it and the rear of the vehicle cleared the creature's position, I saw it get up and cross the road behind the van. Its form blotted out the moonlight briefly as it stepped onto the road. Watching it in my side mirror, its third step carried it into the field on the other side of the road. By that time, my heart was pounding half out of excitement and half out of fear from the pure size of the thing. I got a very good look at it as it crossed, and it was definitely walking bipedally, and digitigrade, and stood well over the height of the van, in the neighborhood of around 7'6", if I had to guess. It would probably have weighed in the neighborhood of 400 lbs, based on the size of deer I have skinned and dressed out in the past.

I couldn't tell if a tail was present or not, and couldn't make out a lot of real detail of the "hands"/fore-paws, but I saw what I thought to be at least two or three fingers on one of the forelimbs of the creature. The other thing that struck me, was how wide its shoulders were. My shoulders are pretty wide from a human perspective, but this things shoulders were absolutely massive, at least 3 or 4 inches wider than my own, which are about 26" wide." B

Black Eyed Kids Standing Along Rural North Florida Road Frighten Witnesses

A teen boy and his mother are driving early in the morning to school when they notice 3 black eyed kids in strange school uniforms standing at the entrance to their neighborhood.

The following account was forwarded to me:

"This happened back in high school, during my junior year. I lived near Jasper in north Florida at the time. I missed the bus and I didn't have a car, so my mom had to drive me to school. The main road was a long rural stretch that only had one equally tiny other neighborhood and a few houses here and there. It was 6 am or something and still dark outside and it was cold.

As we're pulling out of our neighborhood, my mom and I both saw these three children in blue and white private school uniforms standing side-by-side, shoulder to shoulder at the 'entrance' of the neighborhood on the sidewalk. It was either two girls and one boy, or two boys and one girl. I don't remember the ratio, but the girl/s wore a blue and white skirt/dress outfit and the boy wore a blue short-sleeved shirt with khaki shorts.

This was weird for a few reasons. One, it was 40 degrees outside. They looked like they were dressed for the summer and they didn't even wear coats or anything. Secondly, there were two schools in the area but not a private school until the next town over, and blue and white weren't the schools uniform colors. Third, what young kids just stand there in a single file line, not doing anything but standing? No joshing around, no nothing? Yeah, right. Lastly, this wasn't where the bus stop was. It was a few blocks down. Just a sprinkle of extra creepy on top for shits and giggles, there wasn't any street lights. They were just standing in the dark. Not doing jack except being creepy as hell I guess.

They were on the corner on the right, closest to the passengers' side where I was obviously sitting. And of course we were turning right. As we got closer I thought at first they didn't have faces, but it was just too shadowy and dark out, and the headlights only shone under their shoulders (which is how I can remember the outfits so vividly). Then we got closer and I was relieved to see they had faces, but then got completely freaked all over again when I saw their eyes were all black. Like, Supernatural-Sam-and-Dean-fighting-demons, all black. My mom saw it before I did and she put the pedal to the metal and high-tailed it out of there. I remember trying to look back and see them, but I couldn't since it was too dark. My mom didn't go back home until the sun rose and it was bright enough to not be scared. Of course nobody believed me at school and my siblings thought we were full of it, but we know what we saw. We never saw them again after that though.

I thought they were ghosts, but a few months after that I heard about black eyed children on YouTube or something and made the connection. We moved shortly after that due to unrelated reasons. This was 2 years ago and I had blissfully forgotten about it until my mom said, "hey, remember when..." I hope my irrational anxieties and fear around children that are small enough for me to punt across a soccer field is amusing at least." C
