2 'Werewolves' Encountered Along the Little Kanawha River, WV
A West Virginia woman believes that she had encountered 2 'werewolves' near her property along WV-5 and the Little Kanawha River. Very harrowing incident!
I recently received the following account:
"One night I was out along the road that goes past my house. We are pretty rural area here, (along WV-5 which parallels the Little Kanawha River from Elizabeth to Grantsville) but the animals here are always the same. Until the late 1990's the State DNR let coyotes loose and in the early 1980's wild turkeys. Now they are releasing wild elk. Yet there is no sightings of these creatures. I have heard black panthers and even seen two kittens dead. At my friend's house, her dad had chased and treed the kittens, but the mother got away. To this day, West Virginia DNR refuses to state that black panthers exists in WV.
This night I saw something I never thought I would of seen. Two huge wolves that were bigger than anything I have seen before. I know people who own wolves and I have been around them. When they left on vacation, I even feed their pet wolves. So I know how big they can get, but these were no regular wolves. They were twice as big as me and they gave this eerie feeling. They walked off the hillside and came out of the foggy mist. Their eyes had this glow of yellow even before I turned my phone's flashlight on them. Yes, I had my phone in hand. Why no picture? Because I was scared! Scared stiff and was just able to look and see these two wolves with one being smaller than the other. Both were very skinny, hippy or one could say boney. Gray with black color markings around eyes and ears. Brown down their backs and gray bushy tail. Tail as long as my leg. The heads were way bigger than my own. Glowing yellow eyes looking right at me. Slowly walking past me. Both moving together and moving their heads when needed to keep me in view. Then they crossed the road and disappeared into the river bank.
Across the river on the hillside were coyotes barking and yapping. That was until those two wolves crossed the river to their side. Dead quite then. No noise at all. No bugs, no birds, no coyotes. When my heart started again, I ran as fast as my legs could carry me. I posted what I saw on my Facebook page. Many said they were just northern wolves. No. No wolves here in WV. Not here, that haven't been brought here as pets. These two where no pets! I think the smallest, the one closet towards me, was a female. I also feel she protected me from the male, the biggest one. She nudged him to go on. I thank her for that. He would have killed me easily. They both could have with one bite to my throat. It's not to often I venture out further than my yard nowadays. This property has many of supernatural events happen here. But that night, I truthfully feel I saw a werewolf and his mate.
I know what I saw and it scared me so bad that I have become afraid of the dark. Even on my own property that I grew up on. It has changed me in ways I can't explain. I have become more nature-minded. I worship nature and the power "She" holds. If it wasn't for "Her", I wouldn't be here today. I know those creatures exists and I give them a wide path to travel. Always respected and mindful of their presence." MC
NOTE: I have asked the Phantoms & Monsters Fortean Research team to look into this incident. Lon

Possible Methods of UFO Propulsion Examined - Part VII
Possible Methods of UFO Propulsion Examined - Part VII
By Dr. Raymond A. Keller, author of the international awards-winning Venus Rising series of books
Venus Rising: A Concise History of the Second Planet
Final Countdown: Rockets to Venus
Cosmic Ray's Excellent Venus Adventure
Richard Alan Ferrell, Ph.D., Physics (1926-2005), early pioneer in anti-gravity research; for a thorough biography see https://umdphysics.umd.edu/about-us/2....
The work of the Gravity Research Foundation (GRF) of New Boston, Massachusetts, was proving invaluable in attempts at extending theories of anti-gravity into the general discourse of the scientific community, moving the subject from the realm of “crackpots” into abstraction and generalizations based on a wide array of observations and the results of sundry experimentation. In the GRF award-winning essay selected for 1950, a then graduate student in the physics department at Princeton University in New Jersey, Richard A. Ferrell, turned his attention to the two principal features of general relativity as a field theory and how it relates to the gravitational interaction of matter. These included:
1. The production of the field of disturbance in space by the matter existing elsewhere. One portion of space is considered to influence (more strongly if it contains matter) its neighbor, the latte to pass on the condition in turn to its neighbor, and so on until the disturbance has been extended throughout the universe. This situation is analogous to the spreading of waves over the surface of a pond. There are partial differential equations to describe accurately how the neighbors act on one another.
2. The exertion of actual forces upon matter at any given point by the field or disturbance which happens to exist at that point.
From his preliminary analysis of this two-part theory, Ferrell initially thought that he might be able to attack the problem of finding gravitational shields, absorbers, reflectors or similar devices through an investigation of either of the two aspects separately. He was hoping to find a new way of producing the field or a new way of having the field act upon the matter. However, Ferrell noted in his GRF 1950 essay on the “Possibility of New Gravitational Effects,” that, “A particle which, according to the second aspect of the theory, is acted upon by the field will also produce a field of its own. When this is added to the original field already present, one is able to describe the total field in terms of the equations of the first aspect of this theory. These equations require the field at every point of space to change in a certain manner with time, and thereby also specify the way the portion due to the particle alone varies with time.”
The young scientist continued to clarify this complex subject: “But because the particle and the field it produces are intimately connected, we consequently see that the motion of the particle is also determined by the first aspect and that the second aspect is not actually a separate, independent phase of the theory. The realization and proof of this fact is a development of recent years. More precisely, Einstein, Schild and Infield have proved that the equation of motion of a particle can be derived from gravitational field equations.”
Essentially, following Einstein’s long road of equations had led Ferrell down to a dead-end street when it came to finding any possible access it might afford to new and useful effects such as the shield, reflection or absorption of the gravitational field. The scientist surmised that, “This does not mean that new effects are not likely to be discovered. However, these future effects will surely be rather subtle to have gone unnoticed for so long. Such, for example, was the case with the discovery of the laws of electromagnetism by Faraday and Maxwell. Only much later did these slight and previously unnoticed phenomena become the basis of dynamos, electric motors, radio, etc.”
Farrell did admit that the scientific community of the early 1950s should remain optimistic about finding a unified field theory which will adequately describe both gravitation and electrodynamics. He noted that Einstein’s latest theory had not yet reached that important stage; but, in the young scientist’s estimation, Einstein’s theorizing gave every indication of at least moving in the right direction toward achieving this end. Clearly, when such a comprehensive theory appears on the scene, it should give many predictions of completely unsuspected phenomena, depending upon the interaction of electric charges and the gravitational field. The great difficulty with laboratory experiments involving general relativity, however, would be in measuring the extremely small effects.
The Princeton graduate student addressed this issue: “However,” he declared, “if coupled with the much stronger electrical effects, general relativity might be made an experimental field of investigation and brought into the laboratory for the first time. Work in both the theoretical and hopefully, later the experimental aspects of this subject should be strongly encouraged as it could be very fruitful.”
What history has shown is that a frontal attack in science does not necessarily prove to be the most successful approach. Endeavors that are guided primarily by the desire to know and to understand the laws of nature have proven to be the ones that have resulted in becoming the most beneficial to the progress of humankind, i.e. backyard mechanics like John Roy Robert Searl in the United Kingdom trying to build their own versions of flying saucers or Nikola Tesla designing electric airships based on dreams and visions.
Of the two aspects of Einstein’s theory, however, Ferrell did admit that, “There is only one feature to consider in surveying known and in scouting for unknown gravitational effects, viz. the production of the field by matter.” Isn’t it interesting to note that Searl postulated that gravity was a particle? Since it emitted radiation, he assumed it has a mass.

*****
In Part VIII, we turn our attention to the work being done by Dr. Myron J. Lover in 1951 with respect to the thermodynamic aspects of alloys specifically designed to be heated or cooled by gravity waves. Lover states that these materials were already known by the powers-that-be. Any connection here with the Roswell or Aztec, New Mexico, UFO crash site recovery operations?

Navajo Witch (Skinwalker) Curses Mormon Missionaries on Reservation
Two young Mormon missionaries are assigned to the Navajo reservation for their calling. They soon started to experience threatening activity, including hex attacks at night while sleeping.
I received the following account several years ago:
"I finally turn 19, the big age for Mormons, where I get to leave for two years of my life and share my gospel as an LDS missionary. I get my calling, (where and when you'll serve) open it up, and see that I've been called to serve in the Farmington, New Mexico mission. My best buddy, (who happens to be Navajo) gets super excited for me because my area covers all of the reservation. I get stoked as well and get ready to leave in a few months. Within that time period, my buddy, gives me some heads ups about what I'll witness on the reservation, and one of course has to be of skinwalkers. The white men, for good reason albeit, still aren't that liked on the reservation. So he warned me to be humble and kind, and to try and not warrant any bad juju in my direction. So I agreed and left for 2 years.
The first month was pretty uneventful, I prepared in Utah, then flew out to Farmington where I met my mission president, and where my first area would be. I got assigned to the town of Tohachi, a tiny dot of a place on the reservation. We lived in a trailer behind the local church because there weren't really any houses for rent out in the middle of the reservation. Here is where things get weird on my first week. Seriously my first week I'm there, this happens to me.
Missionaries have a strict schedule during the day, we pray, eat, go teach, and come home to do a few push ups and in bed by 9. So me and my companion, I won't share his name because I'm not sure if he'd enjoy being mentioned. We start to do our little work out when all of a sudden, we hear some footsteps outside, creeped us out a little bit, but sadly the reservation has a lot of drunk residents that'll stumble around until they are eventually picked up by cops or family members. We brush it off and keep on with our routine, that is until the steps are right outside our door.
Now mind you, I'm 6 foot, semi athletic, 160 pounds, so I'm definitely not gonna try and pick a fight with anyone. But my companion was a 6'5 280 pound Tongan. Lets just say I felt a bit safe. Then the person started pounding on our door. I looked over to my friend and he looked a little worried, more cautious than anything. Like I said, non-natives aren't very popular on the reservation, and it wouldn't be out of the ordinary for someone to try and rob, or frighten us. Kind of a "get the hell out of here" message. Here is the freaky part, the pounding of fists turned into scratching almost instantaneously. Our first thoughts were, 'oh sh*t, he has a dog.' We came to the conclusion to grab our weights, and just try to sleep through this crap.
Well, nothing else eventful happened that night. It was rough falling asleep, but once I did everything seemed fine. We walked outside to see if we could Sherlock Holmes together some evidence to see if we knew who it was or any beer cans to verify our suspicions. What we found was terrifying and shocking to say the least. We were right, boot prints leading to our door. But where we should find boot prints leading away, were paw prints. I remember them like it was yesterday. A bit bigger than a dogs, I figured they were a coyote or wolves. We couldn't understand what we were seeing, why weren't there boot prints leading away, or these paw prints leading too. We didn't say it out loud, but I think we came to the same conclusion. Whatever knocked on our door, changed shape right then and there.
The day went on uneventful. We told our bishop, and he knocked it off too just a drunkard bugging us. He said to pray and to stay safe by being indoors before dark. Nothing crazy happened, until that night. Where I had one of the worst night terrors of my life. I had my back to our door, when I woke in my dream, I didn't even have to turn around to feel the unholy energy that was gravitating from whatever was inside our trailer. I had no voice. I silently plead "in the name of Jesus Christ" but nothing helped. It stepped on the corner of my bed and it felt as if my entire mattress was lifted. Whatever it was, my best way describing it is like a dementor from Harry Potter. It then drove me into my bed, ripping the breath from my lungs. I start crying, praying to my God to protect me from this thing. Then in a second, wham! I'm awake in a cold sweat, crying and waking my companion up. This happened to me the next week, every night without fail.
Long story short, I ended up going home early. It was mentally taxing reliving that every night, and they instantly went away when I got home. If anyone has any experiences with skinwalkers and the curses they can hex people with, I'd like to hear from you. Maybe that's what I was experiencing, but it scared me half to death, and was the most dreadful two months of my life." B

Venus Rising: A Concise History of the Second Planet
Final Countdown: Rockets to Venus
Cosmic Ray's Excellent Venus Adventure
David B. Wittry, Ph.D., Materials Science and Electrical Engineering(1929-2007), early pioneer in anti-gravity research; for a thorough biography see http://www.davidwittry.com/.
Gravitational Screening
Back in 1949, when David B. Wittry was studying for a bachelor of science degree in applied math and mechanics at the University of Wisconsin at Madison, the burgeoning young scientist was already thinking outside the box, especially when it came to challenging and reconceptualizing our then widely held, but erroneous concepts, about the unfeasibility of building anti-gravitation devices. In his award-winning essay submitted to Roger W. Babson’s Gravity Research Foundation (GRF) of New Boston, New Hampshire, in that year, on the “Possibility of Discovering an Absorber, Insulator or Reflector for Gravity Waves,” Wittry took note that, “Serious scientists are not supposed to concern themselves with freedom from gravity. Such ideas make exciting material for pulp magazines; but anyone who seriously considers screens for gravity is immediately set off as a potential crackpot.”
Wittry did not believe that this was fair. Scientific exploration should not be restrained as there are no limits in the acquisition of knowledge. “The method of science has always been one of careful observation, generalization and mathematical expression, and then deduction and prediction,” the young scientist asserted. He added that, “A theory to be valid must be found true in subsequent experimentation and observation. But the theory must be careful not to indicate anything which is known to be absent.”
Young Wittry felt that the then extant tendency in developing theories on gravity that ignored the one effect that could not be adequately explained, gravitational screening, was quite unfortunate. Of this phenomenon, he pointed out that, “Gravitational screening is the one effect crucial in all theories of gravitation. The absence of any gravitational screening would make gravitation almost unique among physical phenomena; while the existence of it would be contrary to the myriad daily observations made consciously or unconsciously by everyone.”
Wittry saw Newton’s law as a convenient starting point in looking at the subject of gravity, especially since it has stood up over the centuries in which other physical concepts were constantly changing. The university student was concerned about the overall implications of Newton’s law, especially if they can still hold up under the light of new observations. The way that Wittry saw it, Newton’s Law of Gravitation implied that gravity was independent of the following: 1. The physical condition of the mass, i.e. solid, liquid or gaseous, amorphous or crystalline.2. The chemical composition of the masses.3. The temperature of the masses or of the intervening medium.4. The directional effects.5. The nature of the intervening medium and that it acts as if were concentrated at the centroid of the masses for large distances.
Any new theory on the mechanism of gravity must take into account even the slight existence of gravitational permeability. According to Wittry, “All the theories advanced in the two centuries from Newton to Einstein have failed because they indicated gravitational permeability, and because no such effect is definitely known to exist.”
Promising areas of research were foreseen by Wittry back in 1949, however, and these included particle theories and other theories that might help to explain gravity in terms of electromagnetic fields. As Wittry saw it, particle theories made gravitation a push due to greater pressure on the far sides of two bodies than between them. Unless the matter possessed some way to stop the particles in the form of waves or rays, there could be no gravitation between them. And as to electromagnetic field theories, the presence of a screen effect is also implied insofar as it is impossible to imagine any combination of electric and magnetic fields in which one or both elements are not subject varying permeability in matter. Interestingly, these lines of research corresponded nicely with the investigations then being conducted in the British Isles by John R. R. Searl, which we covered in previous articles.
It is clear that the work being done at the GRF from the period of 1949-1953 was both keeping the subject of anti-gravity in the public’s attention as well as laying the groundwork which was pushing the subject into the realms of respectability in the scientific community. By 1954, we will start to see more involvement in this subject on the part of the United States government, with lucrative contracts being awarded to universities and corporations for the development of actual anti-gravity technology and the construction of aerospace platforms that mimicked the speeds and maneuverability of the UFOs then being sighted in ever-increasing numbers the world over.

Greensburg, Pennsylvania Woman Travels Through Space and Time
An incredible new book, Lady Columba Venus Revelations (Terra Alta, West Virginia: Headline Books, 2020), by Dr. Raymond Keller, a UFO consultant for the Harrisburg, Pennsylvania Paranormal Search group, details how Annabell Krebs, a Greensburg, Pennsylvania native born in 1902, traveled through space and time with a group of extraterrestrials and a Soviet cosmonaut back in the late 1950s and early 1960s. Dr. Keller, a.k.a. “Cosmic Ray,” in the course of researching his many Venus books, obtained Annabell’s original notes describing her experiences and original artwork illustrating her fantastic adventures. The doctor organized all of this material, updating and footnoting everything in the process, to produce this unique account of her extraterrestrial encounters that took place between 1957 and 1961. In 1954, Annabell read a book by Truman Bethurum, a gentleman from Redondo Beach, California, about his contacts with space aliens from a secret base called Clarion on the far side of the Moon. It was titled Aboard a Flying Saucer (Los Angeles, California: DeVorss and Company, 1954), and Annabell could not put it down. Becoming obsessed with the volume, she packed her bags and left her Pennsylvania home to move out to California, where she rented a house on the outskirts of Joshua Tree National Park, just to be close to Bethurum and other contactees (those claiming to have experienced close encounters with UFO occupants) and to assist them in their important work of disseminating the messages of peace and a better way of life for all of us on planet Earth, as proffered by our brothers and sisters from outer space.
Every year the contactees in Southern California would gather at the nearby town of Landers for the famous Interplanetary Spacecraft Conventions that were held out at the Giant Rock Airport, about 17 miles northeast of Yucca Valley. These were the first of the flying saucer conventions and were run by an airplane mechanic and good friend of Howard Hughes, George Van Tassel, who was also numbered among the contactees, having his first encounter in the Mojave desert with a Venusian named Solganda who instructed him in how to build a type of rejuvenation chamber and time machine that he called an “integratron.”
Over the next three years, Annabell became well acquainted with most of these contactees; and many of them would come to visit her out at her desert home. Being so inspired by Truman Bethurum and some of the others, she turned the inside of her home into a literal cosmic shrine, filling it with symbolic paintings of high spiritual meaning with fluorescent colors that glowed under ultraviolet lighting on deep purple walls and the ceiling. Annabell likened this to “falling asleep amidst the twinkling tars and twirling galaxies.” Of all the contactees, Annabell noted that, “I strongly believed Truman Bethurum’s account of meeting some extraterrestrials out on the Mormon Mesa in Nevada, and dearly hoped that one day I might share in a similar encounter.”
Her first experience began on the night of 16 January 1957, when a Venusian Observation Ranger by the name of Vorton beamed her up into a mothership. For the next four and one-half-years, Annabell stayed with Vorton and the crew of the mothership exploring cloaked bases on floating islands out over the oceans, other bases in vast underground caverns, undersea bases, or even on the far side of the Moon or other planets in the solar system. All along the way, Annabell was making many new extraterrestrial friends while working with them on daring missions involving time travel and traversing interdimensional rifts. She also befriends a Russian cosmonaut working with a secret Soviet space program, and ends up assisting him in some unusual and unforeseen ways.
When Annabell finished her apprenticeship with the crew of the mothership, she was renamed Lady Columba and given a prestigious position with the Angel Force of the Confederation of Planets, an intergalactic organization that encompasses 601 worlds from 51 solar systems. She and the Russian returned to Earth, landing on the outskirts of a small central Ohio town in late 1961, where, with the help of a member of a Cleveland UFO club, they made their way north to Cleveland for yet further adventures. All of this is fully documented and footnoted in the book.
To explore the vast and wondrous regions of time and space with Lady Columba and her Russian friend Alexander, be sure and check out Lady Columba Venus Adventures on Amazon.com or headlinebooks.com, while supplies last. The book is illustrated throughout.
Interested individuals can meet Dr. Keller at the Wednesday, 13 January 2021 meeting of the Paranormal SEARCH of Pennsylvania group, located at 425 Prince St, Harrisburg, PA 17109 (Lower Paxton Township Municipal Center meeting room) - provided the virus has abated.

Cryptid Canine Sightings Recalled in Rural Northeastern Pennsylvania
A boy in rural northeastern Pennsylvania, had several sightings of an unknown canine that he refers to as 'my werewolf.' It's an interesting series of encounters I plan to follow up on.
I came across the following account recently:
I grew up an only child in rural northeastern Pennsylvania. I used to sneak out of my bedroom and go hang out in our backyard on summer nights when I had trouble sleeping or woke up in the middle of the night. This was around the age of 8 in the mid 90s.
I’d go sit just below the top of the backyard hill, where I was out of sight of our kitchen window. There were trees to the left with a wild open field across the rest of a mile wide valley. We had a large hill, with a bump in the middle, that was perfect for sledding in the winter. Below that was a field with a deer trail cutting through the bottom of the hill, and a creek beyond at the center of the valley. On a clear night with a bright moon, you could see across the valley, to where my best friend’s house had their flood lights on all night behind their house. It was about a mile distance.
And when I say rural, I mean VERY rural Pennsylvania. Parent teacher conferences were scheduled the first day of hunting season, and kids would often be out for a couple of days just for that. We had two houses in eyeline of our house from that backyard. It was more than 30 miles to our nearest Walmart.
I also grew up very familiar with deer, bear, rabbits, and even saw a mountain lion once while hiking with family. All of this to say, I am familiar with wildlife there.
The first night I saw the dogman was like any other. I was chilling in the grass, thrilled to just be doing something my parents didn’t know about.
I saw something moving quickly down along the deer trail. It was dark black against the rest of the night. Part way through its path from the woods beside my house, it noticed me and stopped. We just stared at each other for what felt like a long time. It stood up, and its ears were long enough to notice from a 100 yard or so distance. It was too thin to be a black bear, which I’d already seen a few times at that age. The staring continued for a long time. Eventually, it put its ears back down, put its front paws on the ground, and sprinted across the valley.
I called it 'my werewolf,' because of the shape of it standing up. But after that first sighting, I went and sat outside a lot more. I remember once on a new moon I sat on the porch because I was too scared to go too far with how dark it was without the moon.
I saw it 3-4 more times after that. It was usually running into the woods by my house, which were more than 10 full acres owned just for hunting season. My werewolf never bothered me after that, but I remember I was really disappointed when it got cold outside and I’d have to stop going out at night because I wouldn’t see it." TK
NOTE: I will follow up with the witness and will add any further information to this post. Lon

Unknown Creature Worries Residents in Southeastern Minnesota
A couple hears strange mournful sounds outside a kitchen window at night. Deep tracks and other evidence are eventually found. Now the entire family wants to know what the creature is.
The following account was forwarded to me by a reader in southeastern Minnesota. The reader told me that this was a local incident. But beyond that, I have no other information:
"I had a very scary experience with something that might have been a weird creature/cryptid thing. This happened very recently, I believe about 3 days ago on the 1st of August 2020. So I was at my girlfriend's house for the weekend, which I'm at her house pretty much every weekend Friday-Sunday, so that in and of itself wasn't out of the usual. We both recently started college, so she still currently lives with both her mom and dad, and 2 younger brothers. It was between 3:40 am and 4:15 am, when the actual creepy stuff began. Everyone else in the house was asleep except for my girlfriend and I, since we always tend to stay up late playing video games or watching movies.
We had just finished watching a movie and we were getting ready to go to sleep. I was getting changed into shorts and a T-shirt to sleep in, and my girlfriend went to the kitchen to get us both a glass of water, since her room can get extremely hot and stuffy during the summer. So after getting changed I was just chilling on the bean bag in her room, waiting for her to get back. At this point I should explain the basic layout of where she lives or this next part could get confusing. So her house is about 8 minutes out of city limits, and she has a long driveway that goes from the road up a hill that leads to her house.
Her house is surrounded by trees and fairly dense forest, and her nearest neighbors are a good couple minutes away. At the end of her driveway is a motion sensor, that when activated by movement, then makes 3 loud beeps inside the house. Her dad is a fairly high ranking military man, so he definitely takes precautions and safety measures to ensure his family's safety. So like I said before, she was in the kitchen alone between 3 and 4 am, and I was still in her bedroom. Her kitchen is down the hallway and through the living room from where her bedroom is, so she should have been back within just a minute or two.
She was taking at least triple the usual amount of time, and right before I was going to head to the kitchen to check on her, she walked around the hallway corner with a worried look on her face. She can be spooked pretty easily, so I wasn't that alarmed at first. She handed me the water and then started to quickly explain why she had taken so long. She pretty much said that while she was at the kitchen sink filling up water, she heard a whining sound from outside the 2 windows next to the sink. She figured it was one of her 2 dogs, and decided to go to the garage to check on them. They were both curled up in their kennel when she opened the door, asleep, and had only just been woken up by her turning the light on to check on them.
She told me at that point she was pretty confused, and slightly uneasy. She walked back into the kitchen and heard this really deep, weird bark, coming again from somewhere outside the kitchen windows. And please note that it was 3 or 4 am, so it's nearly pitch black outside, especially since the dense trees around their house block out a lot of moonlight. She told me she couldn't see anything, and she hurried back to the room to tell me. I was slightly skeptical at first, since I assumed it was in fact just the dogs and that my girlfriend was just really tired and tripping out.
So I agree to follow her back to the kitchen. At first I heard nothing for a good 2 minutes. So I decided to try and recreate what she had done. I walk in, turn on the sink, and wait. After another 2 minutes go by, I hear the same freaky whining sound coming from outside the windows. It sounded so much like a wounded animal. I had her turn the lights on in the garage again, which slightly lit up the area outside the windows. But again, no sign of any animals or anything. She turns off the light, and we hear the whining sound getting farther away, almost as if the creature had fled up the hill near the kitchen and towards the forest.
That was when we realized that it was scared, or sensitive to the lights. So we left the kitchen, and went back to her room. At this point I was pretty spooked, and I wanted to make sure that whatever it was, had been scared off for good. So we go back into the kitchen after a few minutes, both armed with decently sized knives that my girlfriend has in her room for protection. 5 minutes go by in the kitchen, and it's just silent. But then the whining starts up again. And then a weird sad barking sound, like something imitating an injured animal was maybe 10 feet outside the kitchen windows.
And in that moment I realized something. There's no reason some creature would try to imitate injured animal sounds unless it wanted to lure us out and cause us harm. So I get slightly pissed off at it, and I start yelling at it to go away. It goes silent, and I hear very slight movement outside the windows, and then a weird sound, almost as if something was moving alongside the wall right under the window. Then whatever it was lets out this really disturbing and unnatural sound, almost like a loud groaning / growl hybrid? And let me tell you, my girlfriend and I looked at each other and just sprinted out of the kitchen without a single word. We hid in her room until we passed out at some point around 5 or 6 am.
We had talked it over, listened to a ton of animal noises, and not a single one got anywhere close to that final unnatural sound. I wouldn't even be able to accurately mimic the sound. It was so eerie and haunting and I can still hear it in my head. So we did some research the next day, and there are a few known possibilities that we came up with. Werewolf, Skinwalker, or some type of Shapeshifter perhaps? We looked around outside in the morning, and there was no blood and no tracks, so definitely not an injured animal. However on the hill about 10 feet in front of the kitchen windows, we saw 2 heavy indents in the ground, and then flattened grass leading up.
We decided to tell one of my girlfriend's brothers about our experience, so that he could help test something. We had one person go inside to the kitchen sink near the windows, and the others walk around in various different places near the windows making sounds, to try and triangulate where the creature had been standing. We concluded it was at one point no more than 5 feet from the windows, and then at another point had fled up the hill, which matched with the trampled grass and indents leading up the hill. Farther up the hill there's a path that branches, and one part of the path is fairly abandoned and overgrown.
Nobody had walked there in at least 2 years. And I followed it to the end, and kept going a little farther, looking for tracks. I did manage to find something interesting, 3 foot tall ferns and brambles almost completely flattened, and a few twigs snapped perfectly in half, as if something decently large had walked through that area in a hurry, and it seemed very recent. We then decided to tell my girlfriend's parents about it, and her dad seemed especially interested. He told us that the wood panels on their pump house had been torn off within the last couple days. He then took one of their dogs into the woods, and we assume he went to check for any signs.
He came back, and about 2 days later he installed a camera right next to the kitchen windows where we heard those sounds. And again he is a pretty high ranking military man, and he 100% believed that something was there that night. So if anyone has any input, thoughts, or explanations that would be really helpful!" EL

Bizarre 'Canine' Observed Near Kerrville, Texas
A young man in Kerrville, Texas was walking the dog with his great aunt and uncle when they encountered an unknown canine with an extremely large head, moving in an unnatural manner.
I recently received the following account:
"Back in 2001, I was visiting my great-uncle in the region around Kerrville, Texas. At the time he was living in his first house in the area before he moved to a retirement community, near a small set of trees. The trees were beautiful, really, as is the Hill Country. I was staying with him and my great-aunt for about a week, when we went out for an evening to walk his Dachshund as we tended to do in evenings.
The walk was uneventful as the sun set, just a normal evening complete with the calls of doves and other wildlife, and the dog just having a wonderful time. Then, suddenly, all the wildlife went deafeningly silent and both of us froze, as did the dog. I remember having a distinct sense of unease and fear that I could not quite explain, and the dog looking directly in a specific area near a streetlight, my eyes turning to where the dog was looking.
There was a creature loping through there, a dog-like thing about the size of a large Labrador Retriever, save that on the creature's neck there was a head the size of a bear. The thing was loping up and down and up and down in a way that fitted that kind of build. It looked hypnotic in a sense and I was more terrified than I have ever been with anything else I ever saw. It gave me a visceral understanding of Lovecraft's idea that things that just look fundamentally wrong are terrifying precisely because the proportions do not fit.
That thing was powerfully built. The upper limbs in particular were very stout, and the dog remained frozen for another few minutes, before we moved back to the house.
I'm not sure what precisely that was, or if it was a dogman, but it convinced me that something like that could exist. The sudden silence that lasted for a few minutes after it left, and the dog just being frozen without even growling or barking still sends chills in me when I remember it.
As my only encounter with something like a cryptid, too, it remains something very vivid in my mind, not least because I know how dogs move. I know what wolves would move like, and whatever that was it was no natural thing that made sense." DE

Mimicking Humanoid Stalks Hikers in Southern Colorado
A group of British and American hikers are trekking through southern Colorado when they encounter an odd humanoid figure that mimics the voice of one the group. Was it a skinwalker?
This older account came to me from an associate:
"Before I begin, a bit of background; I’m 28 years old and I live in Kent in England. Ever since I was a kid I’ve always had this weird obsession about the States, travelling through the States and generally seeing lots of sights. I’m not a city guy, far from it; my parents are both farmers and I like the outdoors a lot. I joined a rock climbing club when I was in my teens and met two good friends James and Grant (who came on the trip with me in 2012). I had always planned to go the States, Colorado to be specific because of the Forests and the mountains. We all agreed to go; saved for a year and off we went.
We were in Denver and later we travelled south. Through Colorado Springs, down to Walsenburg and then headed west and ended up in a very small town after about 4/5 hrs (somewhere close to the New Mexico border). We had actually got there due to meeting some friends in Denver, who were keen explorers like ourselves and they asked if we wanted to join them on a road trip / camping trip. So we did. There were 5 of them, Chris, another James, Richard, Melissa and Lucy. And us 3, Myself, James and Grant.The first two nights were great, Chris and Richard liked to hunt and had brought alone their rifles with them and they taught us a few things about shooting and what-not. On the third night all 8 of us went on a little walk through the forest, having a look around and taking all the amazing views in. The girls, Lucy and Melissa wanted to head back to the cabin to start cooking the dinner for us and Richard went back with them. So, Chris, the two James’, Grant and I roamed around.
Up ahead on the trail I point out to Chris I saw what looked like a deer but as quick as I could grab their attention and turned back around, it was gone. I’d probably made way too much noise to be honest and scared it off. But a few minutes later I saw it again. It was a little weird though. It looked a little darker than a deer, and had more fur; it didn’t look right at all. It was like a man on all fours or something and just didn’t seem to move very smoothly. I must have been so focused on this deer that I was completely oblivious to the smell that surrounded us that Grant pointed out. It smelled like death and blood, but it seemed warm and metallic. It was horrible. I asked Chris if there was some kind of factory nearby but he said there wasn’t really anything like that for miles. I really did smell, it was stomach turning and I have a strong stomach from living on a farm for my whole life.
We turned back anyway to head towards the cabin to meet the others. We walk for about 10 minutes when I saw what looked like the same deer in the distance to my right and I swear to God it stood up on its hind legs. I called Chris at the front and said to the others to look to the right and they did. James laughed and said it looks like a guy and Grant suggested it was another group of people out walking as well. But I told them it stood up and that it was the deer from earlier I tried to get them to look at, I was adamant about it. But they looked at me like I was stupid as it was definitely a figure of a person with his back to us.
Chris called out at it and there was no reply. He called again and nothing. Then we all shouted out “Are you ok over there?” The reply was subtle but loud enough to be heard “It’s Richard.” We all looked at each other confused because he was supposed to be with the girls? He called out again “It’s Richard” and it definitely sounded like him. Chris told him to “stop f**king around” and we carried on walking and I looked back after no more than 5/10 seconds and he was gone, completely. That was no way enough time to just disappear without seeming him run off.
We got back to the cabin eventually. Lucy and Melissa were in the kitchen making dinner and Richard was chilling with them. Chris told Richard to not leave the girls again, as he was the only one with them and it wasn’t safe to leave them alone due to wild animals. But Richard said he’d been here the whole time with them. Confusing. Chris, Grant, the two James and I looked at each other and laughed, telling him we saw him in the woods with us and you said “It’s Richard” when we shouted at him. But he looked us with a dead straight face “Seriously guys, I was here the whole time” and the girls confirmed it. We all just shrugged it off; the 3 of them were in on the joke, they got us.
I managed to wake up around 3 am very thirsty and needed a drink and that rank smell was back. The smell probably woke me up to be honest. I went into the kitchen to get a drink of water and I could hear rustling from outside. It wasn’t like someone was walking but it sounded like someone was crawling around? I turned on the outside light which didn’t do much at all but about 20 metres away at the edge of the forest I saw another figure. It was very dark outside and I’m sure I was just seeing things but the figure was like yesterday, just there, motionless, a black figured silhouette with its back turned towards me. I was freaking out. I went back to the bedrooms and woke up the boys. They weren’t really 100% awake yet, probably pissed off I’d woken them up but when I showed them what I was looking at they soon came around. James opened the cabin door which was facing where the person was to get a better view and we all huddle around the door entrance to see also. Chris had a huge Mag light torch on him and just shone it at the figure and it didn’t move. Grant shouted out (in a typical British way) “Oi you cunt,” which just made us laugh but the figure didn’t move.
We were pretty alarmed by this point and we decide to go back inside and as we turned around to go back in we heard “It’s Richard.” We all just looked at each other and we all looked at Richard and chaos ensured. I and the others had no idea what the hell to do. Richard wasn’t, to my knowledge, a guy that could throw his voice, but the voice was his and Richard did not speak. We waited for what seemed like a lifetime for the sun to come up, constantly checking outside, Richard and Chris’s rifles never left their hands. We grabbed the girls and just left as fast as we could.
Sorry I know there isn't much of a spectacular ending but I wanted to at least share what we saw. I hope this makes some kind of sense." DK

Financial guru Roger W. Babson declared a one-man war on gravity following the drowning of his older sister, who was pulled down to the bottom of a river on the outskirts of Gloucester, Massachusetts, during his youth.
“Wizard of Wall Street”
Roger W. Babson (1875-1967) was a self-made man who amassed a great fortune on Wall Street by applying the laws of gravity toward making accurate stock market predictions. He was such an outstanding technical investor that many in the circles of high finance came to call him the “Wizard of Wall Street.” At the start of 1949, he dedicated a goodly portion of his vast financial resources to establish the Gravity Research Foundation (GRF) in New Boston, New Hampshire. The first meeting of the GRF was held on 19 January 1949; and on 1 December of the same year, the first awards for the best essays submitted on the subject of gravity were made.
Babson graduated from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in 1898 with a bachelor of science degree in engineering. It was Babson’s interest in gravity that propelled him to enroll at MIT. This fascination with gravity actually began back in Babson’s childhood, following the drowning of his older sister in a river on the outskirts of Gloucester, Massachusetts. Babson referred to gravity as “our enemy number one” and then elaborated on the origin of his obsession in overcoming this force of nature: “She (his sister) was unable to fight gravity, which came up and seized her like a dragon and brought her to the bottom.”
At MIT, Babson’s favorite class was that taught by the engineering professor George F. Swain. Dr. Swain, to highlight his lectures and keep his students’ attention, used stock market charts to illustrate the application of Isaac Newton’s laws, most notably the law of action and reaction. Babson used the exercises learned in the class to develop his own method of analyzing the stock market and making profitable investments. From Dr. Swain, Babson learned how to draw a nominal line through zigzagging market action on financial charts. After moving on from MIT, Babson established his own investments firm and taught this technical skill to one of his brokers, Alan H. Andrews, who later refined it into “Andrew’s Pitchfork,” a now commonly utilized trendline indicator.
According to the Forex Trading Group, “The Andrews Pitchfork is an on-chart technical indicator that is drawn around recent price action. It falls into the category of channel indicator studies. The structure of the Andrews Pitchfork indicator consists of two parallel lines and a median line in the middle.
In this manner, the Andrews Pitchfork drawing tool has three parallel levels which are equidistant. It is used to gauge the price behavior during an emerging or prevailing trend.” For further information, see https://forextraininggroup.com/rules-....
Interestingly, and unlike countless other investors, Babson and those following this technique, were able to avoid the calamity of the stock market crash of 1929 by selling off early, reaping exceptionally high profits. Just a couple of weeks before the stock market plummeted to record lows, Babson remarked that, “Inasmuch as there was strong upward action, there would now have to follow a severe downward reaction,” adding that, “What comes up will come down, and the stock market will fall by its own weight.”
In the years following World War II, the theory of gravity was largely a neglected area of research in the scientific community and Babson wanted to energize it. To this end, he consulted his close associate, George M. Rideout, then President of Babson Reports, his primary stock analysis firm, as to how best to proceed to encourage the study of gravity. After some consideration, George Rideout advised him to start a foundation and to solicit ideas by offering annual awards for the best ideas submitted. Roger Babson accepted the advice and the GRF was formed. The GRF is still in existence, but still little known to most in the UFO community, to whom it should matter most.
According to the GRF website, “Babson’s main interest was to stimulate interest in the study of gravity. He hoped that ultimately unique and practical applications would be found. His views were reflected by the wording in the announcement of the first essay competition that said the awards were to be given for suggestions for anti-gravity devices, for partial insulators, reflectors, or absorbers of gravity, or for some substance that can be rearranged by gravity to throw off heat. Although not specifically mentioned in the announcement, he was thinking of absorbing or reflecting gravity waves. The wording was unusual and the scientific community responded with a resounding lack of enthusiasm. George Rideout recognized that the wording discouraged the best scientists from submitting essays. He succeeded in convincing Babson that, if one understood completely the theory of gravity, one would understand its possible applications. He was able to modify the statement in the annual announcement of the essay competition so that it has been for many years, and almost from the beginning, stated that the awards are given for essays on the subject of gravitation, its theory, application, or effects.”
Although Babson’s obsession with gravity was considered, by most, nothing more than a “pipe dream” back in 1949, in today’s world the theory of gravity is one of the more active areas of research in theoretical physics. And most ufologists subscribing to the extraterrestrial hypothesis for the origin of UFOs would heartily agree that a thorough and comprehensive theory of gravity is needed to explain the existence of flying saucers as interplanetary spacecraft covering the immense distance between the stars in such presumably short time spans.
The GRF website acknowledges that Babson, if he were still alive, would certainly recognize that he erred in not thinking boldly enough. The site continues:
“Instead of terrestrial applications, he should have thought of cosmological; instead of static fields, he should have thought of dynamic and radiative effects. Anti-gravity he would now know was associated with dark energy, rearranging matter to produce heat he would associate with Hawking radiation from black holes. He would be doubly excited to know that gravitational radiation has been observed and that a new window for cosmological events has been opened. By any measure, he would feel vindicated in his judgment and satisfied that indeed the study of gravity was no longer being neglected, and it is likely that when gravitational radiation is observed, absorption by other galaxies will also be observed.”
In his later years, Roger W. Babson (left) continued to ponder a utopian future where the application of anti-gravity technology would become a reality. Photo from Babson College archives, Babson Park, Massachusetts.
To sum up my feelings about Roger W. Babson, among the first to gain a true inkling of the fundamental laws of our so-called reality, I quote some lines from the Danish philosopher Soren Kierkegaard, uttered in 1843:
“One sticks one’s finger into the soil to tell what land one is in. I stick my finger into existence. It smells of nothing. Where am I? Who am I? How did I come to be here? What is this thing called the world? What does the world mean? Who is it that has lured me into the thing, and now leaves me there? How did I come into the world? Why was I not consulted? And if I am compelled to take part in it, where is the director? I would like to see him.”
*****
In looking at gravity as a radiation, as Babson and his essayists started to do, we now find ourselves right in line with the speculations offered by John R. R. Searl. In the next section, we shall look at the GRF essay winners for 1949 – 1953, and see how their research was co-opted for the development of TOP SECRET aircraft in the United States during the mid-1950s, i.e. the beginnings of the so-called “Skunkworks” and the emergence of an anti-gravity aerospace technology that remains largely hidden, even unto this modern age.
