The Red Eyed 'Thing' Haunts the Odd Shaped House on Linnview Avenue

A relative of the residents of a house in Carrick, PA recalls the horrifying activity that manifested there. The red eyed 'thing' would chase them out of the basement, as well as create doppelgangers.
I recently received the following account:
1980s – Carrick, (Pittsburgh) Pennsylvania: "When I was a kid back in the 1980's, I used to go and stay some weekends at my cousin's house in Carrick, PA. He lived in an old odd shaped creepy brick house that was built in 1900. The road he lived on is called Linnview Ave, and the house still stands there to this day. There was something very evil and sinister in that house.
I used to dread going into his basement, but that's where most of his toys were at, so we would run down there, grab a few toys, and run back upstairs as fast as we could. The far back room in the basement was the worst. I used to feel like something was watching me every time I went down there.
On one occasion my cousin was down there getting something and when he got to the back room he saw two red eyes staring back at him. He bolted out of there and ran up the stairs and when he got to the top landing and turned around to shut the basement door, the lights were off downstairs already, and the red eyes were halfway up the stairs coming towards him. 
Another incident he told me about was that he was laying in bed one night, and his dog came up to the second floor and into his room and jumped up on the bed. He sat up to pet the dog and the dog's eyes were glowing red. At that moment the real dog came running upstairs and came into the room and started growling at this entity, and the thing on the bed vanished into thin air. That house is no joke, it's seriously haunted, and not by anything human at all. I absolutely hated that basement, and I hated that house after I heard all of the stories about the red eyes and the doppelganger dog.
My Aunt, Uncle, and my other cousin Jennifer all witnessed messed up things in the house too. My cousin Jennifer was coming down the stairs from the second floor to the first floor one day, and when she got into the living room, she seen a shadow figure run out of the room and in through the dining room and into the kitchen, and then all of a sudden she heard the basement door slam shut. My Aunt never saw anything but she would always hear voices from other rooms when she would be cooking in the kitchen or cleaning a certain room. Most of the time she was home alone so it couldn't have been anything else but that evil entity. My Uncle had mentioned seeing weird things but he never talked about the details. I think it just frightened him too much to really talk about it.
Finally, fast forward about 8 years. When we were around 15 or 16 years old my cousin and I decided to brave the basement and be badasses. We went down there in the dark looking for the 'thing.' We heard loud growling maniacal laughter coming from the back room as we approached, and we ran the hell out of there faster than ever before. We could hear the thing breathing heavily behind us as we ran up the stairs. We jetted through the kitchen, dining room, and living room and out the front door into the street. We just stood there, looking back at the evil house on Linnview Ave. We were terrified beyond belief. That was the last time I ever went near that basement in my life.
My cousin and his family ended up moving out of there in the late 90's or early 2000's. I would so love to see a ghost hunting crew spend a night in that basement or even a whole weekend in that house. I don't think they would last too long, ha ha!! It's not a house for the faint of heart that's for sure. It's legit haunted by evil. Beware the odd shaped old brick house on Linnview Ave. Whatever you do, if you decide to go into that house, do NOT go near the basement. Keep it locked at all costs, and pray that the evil thing that dwells down there doesn't come upstairs to get you!!" SZ


NOTE: The Google Maps screenshot of the house produced a white shadow (above). I'm not going to publish the address. Lon

Unknown Upright Entity Observed Near Southern Kentucky Horse Farm

A young woman, who lives on a large farm in southern Kentucky, observes a strange unknown entity standing in the woods. It seemed to be armless and walked in an unnatural manner.

The following account was forwarded to me several years ago:

This happened in September 2014. We live on a huge horse farm in southern Kentucky. My mother, the horse fanatic in the family, travels all over the country taking horses to shows and competitions. During that time I usually get stuck at home with the responsibility of feeding the animals and other non-show horses. My parents were at a weekend long show. That particular day, it was around 5:30 pm and I was on my way down to the barn to give the horses their evening meal.

Our horses are arranged into multiple sections, pregnant mares in one, show horses in another, ect.

I was almost done feeding and only had the southwest corner section to go, when I looked into the field that lined that section (that we let the horses graze in in the spring) And saw something that I really can't explain with words.

It was far enough away that I couldn't make out facial features but I could tell it wasn't human. It was standing upright one two legs that seemed to be on backwards, instead of the knees going forward, they went the opposite way.

The closest thing I can describe it to would be like a very thin, hairless, and standing on two legs. I didn't notice any arms, but with how far away it is I'm assuming they could have just been so close to the body and that I didn't see them. I quickly sketched this to give you an idea of what it looked like (below).

It scared the hell out of me, but I don't think it saw me, It looked like it was watching my house, which was about 100 yards to the northwest of there. I kind of just stood there, I didn't really know what to do so I just slowly started backing up until I was back in the barn.

There's a small part in the barn where there are a couple missing boards that you can easily see out of, so I stood there watching it for awhile. I didn't want to try to go back home because I was worried it would see me, so I just waited. I waited for what felt like forever, before this thing kind of turned around and walked away into the woods. The way it walked was the scariest thing about it, it was so unnatural.

I waited a little bit, then ran back to the house as quickly as I could. The next morning my parents got home, so I didn't have to feed the horses again after that. I've never told anyone about this either. I did some research, but didn't find anything that compared to it

I've never seen it again after that, nor as anyone in my family ever mentioned seeing anything like it." MM

Bizarre 'Red Man' Confounds Deer Hunter Near Dublin, Virginia

 

A deer hunter, sitting in a tree stand near Dublin, Virginia, is startled by scratching sounds directly below him. For hours he attempts to catch a glimpse of this unknown being.

I recently received the following account:

"This story was told to me by my wife and it actually happened to one of her friends. I didn't get to hear it first hand. The man this happened to is a large no-nonsense security guard. A really quiet dude who likes to joke and isn't dramatic. My wife tells me that it's weird for him to tell a story and not have it end with a punchline.

So early November 2010, somewhere near Dublin, Virginia, Paul was walking through the woods toward his tree-stand. It was deer season and rifle in hand on that crisp early Saturday morning he was ready to ambush some game. He excitedly arrived at the tree stand and took a seat at the top. Paul settled in and got comfortable. The only sounds he could hear were leaves scattering as they were blown around in the wind. That morning, it was absolutely still. In his words, "it was damn peaceful." After a time he fell asleep.

Paul jerked awake at the sound of scratching at the base of his tree. He said it was like a large cat or bear was stretching against the tree putting its' weight forward and scraping the bark off to mark its' territory. Maybe a black bear or even a cougar. No way it was a deer though and whatever it was, it was standing directly under him. He leaned over the tree-stand, trying to see what it was. As he did it rushed away in the opposite direction and went behind the tree, just out of sight, leaves loudly crunching under its' feet as it went.

Paul waited to see what it would do, gun ready. If it was a bear, it might try to climb up the tree and he might have to shoot it. He thought it might be easiest to scare it off before it got aggressive. He aimed his gun up and fired a warning shot. The blast echoed over the forest and everything became still again. He didn't describe it as being peaceful this time. This time called it "f*cking eerie."

Nothing climbed up the tree as he had feared but nothing ran from behind the tree as he had hoped. Nothing moved at all. Just leaves swirling around in the wind. Paul began to wonder if it was a person instead of an animal. Maybe someone who was trying to play a trick on him but was too scared of being shot to move now.

He shouted "HEY." No response. He shouted again "Come out. Say something. I don't want to shoot you, but I will if you don't say anything." Again nothing. He waited and thought animals don't stay still for this long and it might be safe to come down. Paul slowly stood up and stepped onto the crude wooden step nailed on the side of the tree. As his foot touched the step he heard something move around to the other side of the tree. Paul scrambled around the tree stand and tried to look and see what it was, almost dropping his rifle as he went. Again, it was gone before he could catch a glimpse, back behind the tree.

Paul stood next to his seat and readied his rifle. Was this person or animal was dangerous? Maybe a rabid animal or mentally sick human? An escaped prisoner?

He decided that being afraid was not the best thing to do in this situation and instead of panicking, Paul waited. Unfortunately, the other thing was as patient as him and it waited too. Neither moved as the sun changed position and afternoon changed to dusk. Paul realized he had to relieve himself and if there was going to be a struggle, he could at least choose not to have it in darkness.

Paul stood and stepped onto the ladder again and again the other thing scrambled around to the other side of the tree. He froze for a moment and then steadied himself and climbed down quickly stumbling at the bottom trying to ready his weapon pointing it out holding it tight against his shoulder. He walked backward stepping through the leaves and he could hear it moving like it was trying to stay hidden. Paul circled the tree until he was standing under the tree-stand and he noticed the scratches. Running parallel six deep gashes in the tree (two sets of three).

As he was looking at the marks left by the other thing he saw a red arm. No mistake that it was a man. A red man. Paul was clear on this "I don't mean it was a red man like a Native American Indian, I mean he was red like a stop sign. Like the devil is red."

Paul lowered his gun and stepped backward and as he did the red man stepped out from behind the tree. He was completely naked and smiling huge, his teeth showing white the size of baseball cards in crooked patterns. His eyes were vacant and menacing. The red man never blinked as he stared. (Paul didn't describe what his body looked like or offer a reason why this red skinned man was naked.)

Paul took a step forward and as he did the red man mirrored his action exactly. Paul shook and stepped back. The red man froze as he did but moved forward as Paul moved backward. Paul raised his gun and pointed at the red man "stay back." He shouted. The red man began to walk toward him. Paul scrambled backward. He wasn't prepared to shoot, not at another person.

Paul stepped back and slung his rifle over his shoulder began to run back in the direction of his truck. His feet quickly carried him. He glanced over his shoulder and saw that the red man was just standing there. Staring at him. He slowed down and watched the red man shrink as he moved away from him. Smiling and naked. Staring. Paul lost sight of him a moment later and it was dark by the time he reached his truck. He said "Sometimes I lay awake worrying if I'll see the red man again. Whoever he was, he let me go."

He hasn't repeated the story since." SS

Horrifying Upright Canine Encounter Near Navajo Reservation, Arizona

 

A man was vacationing in Arizona, in a town near the Navajo reservation. One night, he and friends encounter a terrifying canine cryptid. Was it a skinwalker, or something else?

Here is another account from an older database:

"While on vacation in Arizona in 2013 I was visiting family who live on the edge of the Navajo nation. The town they live in is basically on the border of the reservations and such things. The family in question is my mother's brother and sister. They live together with their spouses in a modest home, but the home is unimportant. I went there during my childhood every now and then and had several Navajo friends, so after a night out catching up with my two old friends, whose names I will not mention because of the events that took place that night, I was driving the two of them home.

The female friend, we will call her Sue, was fast asleep in the right side of the back seat, while the male friend, whom shall be called Jim, was wide awake in the left side of the back seat. As we're on the way to Jim's house I see something on the side of the road that is briefly illuminated by my headlights, it looks like a large coyote walking down the side of the road on all fours. Jim saw it first and pointed it out to me, so I slowed down and turned my brights on. What we both saw disturbed us so deeply that we had to wake Sue up to see if she would confirm that we were not crazy. When Sue woke up and looked out of the window (I had stopped the car at this point) she froze in her place and the thing, which had been walking along at a leisurely pace until now, turned around and stood up on its hind legs. It did not look like a dog does when it stands on its legs. It looked like it was used to doing it.

Before Sue could shake herself out of the soul crushing fear she was in Jim and I got a good look at it. It was everything the stereotypical definition of a werewolf was with a few key differences. We saw its snout was less like a wolf's and more like a hybrid between a wolf and a human. Rounded with a dog's nose slightly protruding out and sharp teeth, and its hands and feet both had claws on them which were seemingly permanently extended, that or it was extremely hostile at the moment it saw us, or rather, her.

By the time we were done gawking at the thing and fear started to take over curiosity Sue snapped out of her own fear long enough to scream at me to drive as fast I could. She refused to stop screaming until it was completely out of sight and when we pulled over and she calmed down enough to regain coherency we asked her what was going on. She explained that she could not tell us why but she knew what that thing was and that it wanted nothing but to hurt her and anyone related to her. When I dropped her off at her house I, and Jim as well, felt obligated to walk with her to her door. We asked if she was going to be okay and she said she would tell her dad "he" was back and he would protect her "like he always did." We just looked at her with concerned looks on our faces and walked back to the car.

On the way to Jim's house we saw it again, but it was heading the opposite direction, to Sue's house. We thought it was either another one or the same one which had either gotten lost or "visited" someone else and was now going to Sue. Deciding that it was our duty as friends to Sue to try and protect her from whatever this thing was, we turned around. But when we did so the creature reared up once again and looked at us. Then something I will never forget happened. It let loose a deep, guttural roar directed at us. A roar so bestial in nature that it shook us both to our cores. Apparently, we were not the only ones that were shaken, as my car's radio died and the engine shut off. I screamed at the top of my lungs, accompanied by Jim, and fumbled to turn it back on.

By the time the creature was halfway to our car, it was walking into the road towards us, I got it back on in time to floor it out of there as fast as possible. When I finally got slowed down enough to not break every speed limit in America I realized I had passed Jim's house about three miles back. I didn't see the creature again that night, although I drove by Sue's house again and everything seemed fine, no broken windows or signs of forced entry, and I haven't seen anything like it since.

I don't know what to call it other than a skinwalker, but whatever it was, it was hostile, and it plagued either the local community or one of my friends specifically. I have kept in touch with both Jim and Sue. She refuses to talk about it, and will only say, "things are fine." when I ask about it. Jim can't get anything out of her either.

I'm afraid for her. I'm afraid for everyone in that area." NO

Skinwalker Nighttime Antics on Navajo Reservation

A group of friends and relatives make their way to the Navajo reservation from Southern California to explore the area. One night they encounter a series of strange incidents that they believe were skinwalker related.

I've been going back into my archives and pulling out older accounts that I had not posted. Several of the reports involve incidents on the Dine Navajo reservation in Arizona & New Mexico:

My father is Navajo who was raised on the rez in northern Arizona. My mom is white (she was raised in western Canada). I grew up in Southern California, but grew up going to the rez every year. I eventually moved and worked there. I'm not a skinwalker expert by any means but I'll share what I know.

The earliest experience I had was on one of my first solo trips (without my parents) out to our ranch on the reservation. I traveled with my cousin and a few friends. Our ranch is pretty much in the middle of nowhere. The nearest people, being at the very closest, are about 10 miles away. So you're pretty much on your own.

Our first night out there, we arrived around 2 am and there was no moon and it was pitch black. We had a hard time finding our hogan (traditional octagon shaped Navajo house). We decided to just camp near a cattle corral which we found. We set up tents and knocked out until the sun came up. When I woke up, I took a little walk around our campsite and found coyote tracks which encircled our camp and actually got pretty close to the tents and campfire which was pretty weird, and a bad sign for several reasons.

The rest of the day went without incident. We woke up, cooked breakfast, explored the north rim of the Grand Canyon on the reservation side, and checked out old hogans in the area. We stayed up particularly late that night, we had been out exploring at night and four-wheeling on some off road trails.

It was around 2 or 3 am and we were driving on a rocky road that went up into a small canyon, so there were hillsides pretty high and steep on both sides of me. I was standing in the back of the truck with a spotlight. That was when I first saw the light. The best way to describe what I saw was the visual effect of when you're standing in a room and someone behind you takes a picture with a flash. There was a brief instant in which everything lit up behind me, but it was a dull orange-reddish light. I turned around towards where it came from and shined the light around, but there was nothing there whatsoever, just a bunch of rocks. We thought it was weird, but kept driving.

Once on top of the hill, we stopped to look around, and noticed the weird light again, but this time it was far away, at least several miles. It was the same color, but it looked like muzzle flash from a gun. I waited and waited to hear the gunshot thinking it was people like us shooting at night, but it never came. Then we saw another flash, but this time it was several miles to the west, and a little bit closer. Then another and another, closer and closer, all within a few minutes. We decided it was a little weird and without talking about it, turned around and went to the hogan this time.

We didn't really talk about the lights for some reason, and all settled down in the hogan. There was myself, my cousin, and my two white friends. We talked for awhile, and it was that moment when everyone stops talking and everyone is just about to fall asleep when it happened.

The door (there's only one door, a small wooden door which locks shut) shook violently, as if someone kicked the door as hard as they could. It was loud and strong enough to where you could hear the lock rattle and the door bounce back and rattle against the wooden frame.

My friends shot up in bed and said "WTF was that!" They had reason to be alarmed, we were very far from anyone else and they knew that. It's extremely quiet out there, pretty much a deafening silence, and you can hear when vehicles are approaching. I got out of bed, grabbed a shotgun, and told my cousin to get his rifle. I walked to the door, motioned for him to come over, and said "you go left, I'll go right." I'm not really sure why, but I wasn't scared despite the obvious weirdness of what was going on. I ripped the door open and we both slipped out the door one after the other and swept the area. Looked everywhere we could, and went to the truck and got the spotlight and swept the area. Nothing. No footprints, no animals, nothing.

We decided to send a message and shot some rounds off to scare whatever it was away. I think we were all kind of worried, but eventually we went back into the hogan and settled back in, kind of joking about it to calm our nerves. Eventually they all fell asleep, but I hid my nervousness and my heart was still racing. It wasn't until everyone was quiet and asleep that I noticed the thumping.

I heard it very faintly through the rock walls, and when I put my ear to the wall, I heard it a lot better. It was a very rhythmic thumping sound. Something very heavy, and timed the same every single thump. It sounded as if it was coming through the rock table that the hogan sits on top of. I tried to rationalize it and told myself it was just the cows, and somehow managed to fall asleep.

I woke up the next morning and we went to check the cows, which were about 10 miles away on the ranch and hadn't been anywhere near our hogan that night.

Several days later, after I told my aunts about what happened, they told me that one of my Navajo grandmas, who lived alone and out in the middle of nowhere, had a weird thing happen too. The same night we had our door kicked, someone had knocked on her door in the middle of the night. When she opened the door, there was no one there.

My aunts think it was a skinwalker who was messing with me and my cousin because we're mixed race. I'm not sure that is the reason why it happened, but I do believe it may have been a skinwalker." RE

Possible 'Crawler Humanoid' Alarms Berks County, Pennsylvania Neighborhood

A young man, who lives near Reading, Pennsylvania, recalls strange eerie voices and noises emanating from the woods around his house and neighborhood.

During the early years of our Pennsylvania upright canine investigations (around 2014), the following account was included with a report I received:

"I live in Pennsylvania just outside the city of Reading (Berks County). There's a lot of forests around here in this suburb where I am. Farther out it's highways and farmland. I live right up at the edge of a small community at the very top of a hill. The forest is literally across the street from me.

Anyway, somewhere around a year ago my dad and I were outside having a personal chat about some recent tough events going on in my house when suddenly we heard a weird sound in the forest across the road. We both stopped and looked over.

"I didn't think deer came out this late," I think I said. My dad just stared and looked kind of confused. Then suddenly we heard someone yell something like "Help! I'm bleeding!"

We both sat there stunned, staring into the woods where the sounds came from. My dad stood up and said to get inside. We both rushed in and I watched him run upstairs to grab his handgun. My dad's a rough kind of guy and always heads for his gun if he thinks something's going down.

I opened our back door again to our deck (it was a glass door) and peeked back out towards the forest to see if anyone would come sprinting out or something. Keep in mind we're at the edge of the suburbs and not exactly used to hearing people scream bloody murder in the middle of the night.

Then I heard it.

This loud, weird screech. It was like a cat or a woman but it definitely wasn't human. It was weird, like it was high pitched but not, and filled the entire neighborhood for a full ten seconds before it suddenly went silent. I slammed the glass door shut and ran to the stairs just in time to see my dad stomping down in boots with his pistol.

"Did you hear that?" I remember asking him. He just nodded and we both head out the front. By now a bunch of our neighbors were coming outside too.

The scream was really loud but I didn't even expect all these people to come out this late. It was almost midnight. My dad went down to the street and looked up at the forest. Another guy came up to my dad and he had handgun too. I watched them start chatting for a bit until suddenly another one of those screams pierced the air again. It was horrible and made me feel sick to my stomach. It went on for something like another ten seconds and just suddenly cut off.

My dad and this neighbor guy decide to point their guns towards the forest and head in. I couldn't believe it. I mean my dad is a hunter and he's been doing it since he was a kid but I'd be damned if I'd do something like that.

They must have been in the forest for a good twenty minutes together searching the darkness for god knows what. I sat outside with a bunch of neighbors that entire time, staring into the forest and waiting

Eventually they came back just fine. They stuck together the entire time according to my dad and thought they saw something like a tall guy in the forest at some point. When they tried to see if he was the one screaming apparently he got on all fours and hauled ass into the forest.

We all were pretty shaken up but parted ways and head back to our houses. That was pretty f*cking weird and no police or anything ever checked it out but eventually we all moved past it.

A long while after that there was a separate incident that I didn't exactly connect to the first.

Later that year I was sitting outside with my friend on my back porch. We were talking when I saw my cat pawing at my glass window.

"What a stupid cat," my friend said. I agreed with him and played with the cat, putting my finger on the window while he pawed at my finger wherever it went.

That's not what's weird though.

Later that night I was in my room playing a game with my window open. My cat was somewhere in the house (along with all our dogs) so I know he was fine. It's important to note that my neighborhood has a real problem with stray cats though.

Anyway, I was sitting there playing some games with my window open when I heard what sounded like a cat meowing outside. I paused my game, wondering if my cat had gotten outside, and went to my window to listen. I heard that meow again but it was a long, deep one, that kind you hear from a cat when they're pissed and backed in a corner with their claws out. I recognized it wasn't my cat but it was still coming from the woods behind my house so I stared and tried to see where the stray was and why it was making that sound.

The cat did that deep, long, angry mewing again and it sounded sort of close to my yard. I heard some shuffling in the woods and then something weird happened. I thought I could hear someone talking. Except it wasn't like a normal person's voice. It was like some mentally unstable person trying to mimic someone else really badly.

It was something like a drawn out "stuuupid caaat." Immediately I got creeped out but, seeing as how my window was on the second floor, I felt fairly safe to keep listening. Then I realized the voice was changing.

"Stuuupid caaat." It clicked. It sounded like something trying to sound like my friend but doing it really badly. Then there was a serious scuffle. I heard twigs breaking and the cat just going ape sh*t. I mean it was really screeching and mewing like it was fighting for life or death. Then there was this loud thumping sound. It was like something big and heavy smacking against something else solid.

After that the cat sounds stopped completely and whatever was out there went dead silent. I was pretty creeped out by this point and I shut my window and had real trouble sleeping that night.

Nothing's really happened since aside from one incident where I was getting a drink late one night and thought I saw someone crouching really super low on my back porch and looking into my glass door. Like I saw light reflect off it's eyes like when you see an animal at night or something. The door was locked and it really freaked me out and made me sprint to my room and wake up my dad. But he didn't find anyone or anything." RE

Tall Misshapen Humanoid Observed in Utah Canyon

2 young Navajo men in Utah are out late at night in a nearby canyon, when they encounter a tall misshapen humanoid that was walking ahead of them and mumbling.

Here is another account from the old Jc Johnson database:

This happened to my older brother, who we can call 'Danny.' It was back in the early 2000's and he was a senior in high school in a small po-dunk Utah town. Being a senior and a football player, he was kind of an idiot and did stupid things, one of which included walking through the woods late at night to, as he called it, "throw rocks and terrorize kids from school." Yes, immature, I know, but he and his accomplice (another Navajo called "Joe") were seniors and on the football team. They walked through the woods because cops patrolled the streets, and there was a city curfew in place. The route they took went through a state park which has lots of Navajo artifacts and even a kiva which you can go down into.

So one night they were sneaking through the forest before the sun had risen, and they had begun to stop and shush each other because they could sometimes hear footsteps in the distance. Unless some other geniuses had the idea to walk through the desert, there should have been no one else out there. This continued for awhile, until Joe stopped Danny, grabbed him and said, "Get down!"

They dropped to their stomachs and hid, listening. Now the footsteps, crunching through the dry desert foliage, were accompanied by mumbling. Danny estimated that the sounds were maybe 100 feet away at first, but got closer. He doesn't know if the mutterings were Navajo or English or some other language. After awhile of the noises staying fairly far away, Joe whispered without looking, "It sounds like a drunk." Several more minutes and Danny decided to chance a peek, as the "drunk" sounded more distant now.

It was night, but the moon was bright and the light bounced off the canyon wall nearby. Danny was looking for a man, but instead he saw a figure which he said "moved with a tilt to its body" and was "long and tall." It was human formed, and walking on two feet, but misshapen and VERY tall. He said it maybe resembled a kokopelli or Navajo kachina doll, so not exactly normal shaped. It mumbled and drifted through the trees seemingly looking for something. He was pretty captivated, watching it for a few minutes and then suddenly the snapping twigs and the mutterings just stopped. Everything was quiet. And the figure, whatever it was, had just disappeared.

After that, Danny and Joe both "felt" that whatever was in the forest at the time was gone. They sat on the ground afterward discussing what had just happened. Joe asked about what Danny had seen, and then stated "I didn't look because if I would have, it would have known we were both staring."

I forgot to ask him if he and Joe went back through the woods, but the answer is probably yes. This kind of happening is pretty common within the Navajo culture and it's something they're used to dealing with." Name Withheld

Possible Skinwalker Encounter on Navajo Nation Reservation, Arizona

A strange encounter, at a residence on the Navajo Nation reservation in Arizona, seems to be related to a Skinwalker. It had taken the form of a disheveled young white woman who entered the dwelling.

I recently found the following account is one of my old Jc Johnson databases:

"This story happened to my friend’s (we’ll call her Kat) mom. Kat was just a kid, and had an older brother and a younger brother. They all lived on the rez of the Navajo Nation with their parents in your standard Navajo trailer. Kat’s dad was a police officer for the Navajo Nation so he was out a lot and there were many nights spent with just their mom. No worries though, because Kat’s mom was independent, strong and not afraid of the vast endless desert around her or the wildlife.

One night, it's business as usual. Dad is out working a long graveyard shift, kids are being total pains and won’t go to bed. Kat’s mom is trying to coax them to bed with watching movies in the bedroom and they start whining for a snack. She leaves them with the movie, and goes into the kitchen and gets out six slices of bread, three pieces of bologna and cheese and mayo. As she is about to put the sandwiches together she hears a sound and turns to look at the front door.

The front door is wide open and there’s a woman in the doorway. She’s short, thin, and white, with blond hair. She was dressed for summer apparently with shorts and a t-shirt on and flip flops and she had a pixie haircut. And she was dirty and raggedy, which is not uncommon if you’ve ever been around the rez land. White people on the rez are kind of a joke, depending on where they go it can be really dangerous for them, so they’re not seen as much of a threat. Apparently Kat’s mom was of the attitude of “what the f*ck are you doing in my house?” She asked the woman several things, like, what are you doing here, do you need help, etc. The woman didn’t reply and seemed to be in a weird state of mind.

Being a cop’s wife her first impression was that this was some white moron who’d tried a little too much peyote and got lost from her moron friends in the desert. So she was being pretty harsh to the girl and was kind of pissed that she’d gotten into the house with no words at all in the first place. Kat’s mom got annoyed when the girl wouldn’t answer her and just stood there kind of giggling and shrugging her shoulders. So she put her hands on the girl’s shoulders and literally pushed her outside onto the porch steps of the trailer and the woman just stood there, looking at the ground and giggling and kind of shivering. Kat’s mom was like “You need to get out of here. Go on. Get.”

And this was when she realized something was off. She had first thought the girl was on drugs or something, but she was looking at her like a cop sizes up a perp. The girl had zero track marks or anything, no bruises either, no nothing except covered in dirt like she’d wallowed in it. She smelled bad too, like a wild animal. So Kat’s mom stood there slowly realizing that maybe she wasn’t taking this seriously enough. And the woman on the porch steps really started to jitter then, kind of like she was cold, but more unnatural. This was in summer in the Arizona desert so there should have been no need for that. Kat’s mom slammed the door, which had one of those diamond windows on it that trailers have, and she could see the woman violently spasming through the glass. She looked away for seconds, just to lock and deadbolt the door and when she looked back, the woman was gone.

Kat’s mom said her first thought was to go to the kids, so she did. They were in their room and the baby was crying. Kat and her older brother were scared. They hadn’t seen the woman but heard their mom talking to someone and could tell that their mom was scared, too. So she decided to stay in the bedroom with them. Apparently this was the safe part of the trailer, since they blessed it with cedar smoke often (for the kids) and there were eagle feathers hanging up on the walls and doorways.

So, she laid there and watched movies with the kids and eventually they fell asleep. Kat’s mom said she heard some things moving around outside, but this is the desert on the rez, so that’s kind of an every night thing and something she’s used to. Apparently she was more afraid to go into the kitchen, and couldn’t shake the feeling of why. She just had this feeling of dread. This was before the days of cell phones so she had no way of getting in touch with anyone.

A few hours passed and things had been quiet but she couldn’t sleep, so she decided to call her husband. The phone was in the living room, which meant she would have to go near the kitchen, but not into it. She snuck out of the kids’ room and grabbed the phone, called the station, and they got confirmation that her husband was okay and out on patrol. They asked if she would like an officer sent to her area to make sure things were okay, and Kat’s mom agreed. She went back to the bedroom to wait for the knock on the door. She was a good half hour from anywhere, driving distance, but pretty soon the officer came.

He was a coworker of her husband's, so they knew each other, and he was obviously Navajo as well. Kat’s mom said that he seemed nervous and jumpy while standing on her porch. He took a statement from her of what had happened but he said he’d seen no one on the roads, definitely nobody fitting that description. They set up a patrol to search the area for the night just in case, and they discussed maybe burning some sage or cedar since the air seemed bad...in a creepy, off way, not a smelly way. She thanked him and went into the kitchen. Seeing the officer and having a conversation had calmed her down enough that she didn’t feel the need to barricade in the bedroom anymore. So she went over to the kitchen (burning cedar and sage is usually done on the stovetop) and it was then that she noticed the counter and Kat said her mother was the most terrified she’d ever been in her life.

The bread, bologna, and cheese were gone. Completely gone, though they’d been there hours earlier and she for a fact had not moved them, and had also for a fact deadbolted the door. Kat’s mom’s theory is that the “woman” had come back into the trailer while everyone was in the bedroom and had taken the food, and that’s why she (the mom) had instinctively been afraid to come back in that area.

As far as I know that’s the one incident where something got into their home. She’s never told me of anything else." Alex

Possible Methods of UFO Propulsion Examined - Part IV

Possible Methods of UFO Propulsion Examined - Part IV

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

This UFO was photographed by James Lucci, 17, on 8 August 1965, at around 11:30 p.m., in the skies over Beaver County, Pennsylvania.  James had gone out with his older brother, John, 23, to the outskirts of Beaver Falls to get away from the city lights to photograph a full moon, when they chanced upon this unusual object that appeared to be taking off.  According to the Cosmic Ray, the glow surrounding the UFO is a clear demonstration of the Searl effect, where the atoms in atmospheric molecules are being ionized by the energized power coils of an interplanetary scout craft.

Application of John R. R. Searl’s Theory

In the 1 June 1968 issue of the Searl National Space Research Consortium Newsletter (Mortimer, Berkshire, United Kingdom), the application of John Roy Robert Searl’s ring generator is detailed by Consortium member, P. L. Barrett, B. Sc., an electrician who worked closely with Searl on his levity disks and probably understood their operational characteristics more than most.  

According to Barrett, in its application, the ultra-high potential produced by the Searl ring generator is much greater than the ionization potential of the air.  Acting as a positive electrode, this causes the ionic breakdown of the air at some feet from the craft’s skin.  The negative side of the generator is connected to the periphery of the saucer and is isolated from the skin; while the field at the negative terminal is, therefore, very much greater with the air ionized at a greater distance from the rim.  In this process, the air at the positive terminal loses electrons.  The resulting ions are repelled away from the terminal with a high acceleration.  The electrons, in turn, pass through the generator, constituting the current in the generator and providing the charge at the negative terminal to produce the negative ions in the air near the rim.  The craft, therefore, is enveloped in a vacuum.  

Comparisons Made

Barrett explained that in ordinary high voltage generators, the maximum potential is limited by the ionized breakdown of the air.  Flashover occurs and the accumulated energy is lost.  The geometry and arrangement of the field coils in the Searl generator, however, is such that the flashover is eliminated.  And once the craft is enveloped in a vacuum, any occurrence of a flashover is rendered impossible.

Levity Process Explained

Here, in his own words, are the comments of Searl’s apprentice as he understood the application of his mentor’s theory:

“Energy is required to build up the potential and initially has to be supplied from an external source.  As the vacuum layer increases about the craft, less energy is required to maintain the potential.  The generator soon reaches a potential when the Searl effect takes place and the device produces its own energy along with the levity phenomenon.  On the basis of the theory, at this potential the stress on the space fabric cannot be equalized by flowing magnetism (current flow) through the air and craft as a circuit.  The space fabric breaks down to provide the magnetism to relieve the stress; but the energy by-product is absorbed by the generator which reinforces the field.

“The generator then must set up an ether flux along the lines of the electric field.  The direction of ether flow is, however, in at the positive and out at the negative.  This is deduced from the aether force theory of the German physicist Karl Schappeller.  The generator and craft therefore reproduce its own gravitation- type field.  The net effect of the craft field plus the Earth’s gravitation field gives rise to a condition where the ether density below the craft is higher than that above it.

“The craft, therefore, is strongly repelled away from the planet; and to stop it from shooting off into space, the field of the craft must be intentionally perturbed.  In the drive condition, where the field is aptly reconfigured, the craft is shot out of the Earth’s field like a wet orange pip from between the fingers.

“The acceleration is enormous; but since all matter associated with the craft is linked with the field, no distortion of any part, including passengers, if any, occurs.  The limit to the speed is unknown; but since the craft has no inertia, there is possibly no limit.  It would be safe to say, however, that the limit is below the speed of light.  Above this speed, too much is unknown to take the risk; but since the craft carries its own space with it, the theory of relativity is inapplicable.  In fact, the craft does not travel through space, but past it.”

German aether physicist Karl Schappeller (1875-1947) and diagram for his Schappeller device, an advanced generator that included:  

A.  Steel outer casing.

B.  Special ceramic lining in which tubes are imbedded.

C.  Hollow center filled by glowing magnetism when in operation.

D.  Tubes, circuit and grounding. 

In attempting to understand the basis of aether physics, keep in mind that the universe can be considered as an infinite “sea of energy,” forming a background of energy everywhere simultaneously.  Aether is, therefore, an energy source emanating from everywhere at once.  Therefore, it would be extremely difficult to make any independent measurements of this energy source.  Also, the aether is always in motion; and like any form of energy, it is radiant.  In accordance with aether theory, the aether would encompass both electromagnetic radiation and gravity radiation.  While Newton described the effects of gravity, he never told us what it was. In aether theory, gravity is really a push, not a pull.  Gravity is acceleration and is caused by the aether field.  And since all energy is radiant, its fundamental basis is aether radiation.  

With aether radiation as the underlying cause of gravity, then one can logically assume that it, like any other radiation, can be converted to mass or under certain circumstances, reradiated or converted to other forms of energy.  Hence, no unified field theory is necessary as the aether field is the unified field.  And there would be no need to look for a separate anti-gravity, at least insofar as gravity is a push, then it is all anti-gravity.  All one needs do to construct a flying saucer, then, is to find this particular frequency of gravity and find a way to generate it.  

It is clear from the work of Schappeller and Searl that these two scientists had come to grasp this important fact about the aether force.  Most in the scientific community have been led to focus on Albert Einstein and his theories of relativity, and several generations of physicists have literally spent their lifetimes on trying to prove Einstein correct.  However, this misguided thinking has apparently led to these scientists in painting themselves into the proverbial corner, so to speak.  One merely has to look at the many “free energy” devices which have arisen over the past century, in spite of accepted scientific theory, to see that this statement is true.  Going back to the time of Schappeller in Nazi Germany, we see that the German scientists labored under no such illusions about Einstein’s theories.  In fact, they never abandoned aether physics for the physics of relativism, as it has been traditionally taught in schools.  The aether physics, the more esoteric type, was utilized secretly by the Nazis in developing the prototype flying saucer described in Part I of this series, and subsequently in the fabrication of TOP SECRET space vehicles and weaponry, by the extant military powers of the Earth.  

For further information, see https://www.aetherforce.energy/the-ka....  

Barrett provided a detailed gravity field diagram in the aforementioned 1 June 1968 newsletter, wherein neutral zones appear below the craft and the ring above, during those times when the levity drive was activated.  If matter became located in that zone, then it would be held there.  Consequently, the Searl craft as constructed up through the time that Barrett published his report, had left their mark in the countryside in the form of large, neat holes after the saucers had taken off, i.e. every time a saucer was launched, a chunk of earth was taken up with it.  

The gravity field within the body of the craft is such that the center is up and the rim is down.  Therefore, if the generator is allowed to run up in those instances where the polarity is opposite to that of the Schappeller device, the field is expansive and pulls the craft apart.  Prior to this, glowing magnetism could tart, characterized by an orange yellow glow, but could not become self-sustaining, being in an expansive state.  The Searl generator runs at low speeds is, therefore, unlikely to fly apart by centrifugal force.  Part from this side effect, electromagnetic forces help to keep it together.  As with other gravity fields, the flux favors passage through matter.  As such, the field within the craft may be tailored by appropriately distributing the mass within the craft.  This will prove particularly convenient in manned craft where crew comfort can be significantly improved where the cabin field is about ½ g.  

When travelling in free space, Barrett reports that the external field would resemble that of the combined Earth and the craft insofar as it would be moving relative to a stationary field.

According to Barrett, “Collision between the craft and large objects in space is very unlikely except in a direct line of flight when such could be seen and the craft rapidly turned.  The field is such that the objects are diverted past the craft, or it (the field) past the object.  If the object qualifies as a planet or moon having its own gravity due to a glowing core, then the craft oriented by the interaction of fields is strongly repelled away unless measures are taken to alter the field of the craft.  Small objects such as meteorites are pushed out by the combined electric and dyno-magnetic fields.  An object entering such a powerful statis field is at first attracted, then ionized and then strongly repelled.  The dyno-magnetic field induces an ordinary magnetic field in objects which will interact with the craft’s ordinary magnetic field at considerable distances (miles), and repel it.”

It is important to keep in mind that only a very small amount of space fabric actually passes through the craft; and even a smaller amount is converted for energy.  However, as Barrett pointed out earlier, small changes in the ether will lead to large, physical changes.

“Even in deep space,” Garrett postulated, “the craft has an electromagnetic flow through the generator which is continuous along the electric field outside the craft.  Electrons are picked up and some leave the rim at relativistic velocities.  These do not contribute to the drive.  Ergo, the craft carries its own negative space charge.  In an atmosphere, the electronic flow is much greater and the generator current much higher.  The craft, therefore, functions a lot better and has greater flexibility in space.  In air, the recombination of ions in the air can give rise to condensation.  This effect, coupled with the output of electrical energy, could well precipitate thunderstorms.”

Minor Deficiencies

Barrett insists that the only hazard that he had observed was that when the craft hovered for too long close to the ground, the soil became burnt.  This was due to the electric currents in the craft, which built up heat.  Also, the apprentice to Searl noticed that the nervous systems of animals were interfered with by the ionizing discharge of the object, if they got too near it.  Birds in flight had been really hurt by these discharges as well, losing their sense of internal guidance and flying uncontrollably into stationary objects.

Unanswered Questions

Of course, J. R. R. Searl and his levity disk generator have served to “generate,” pardon the pun, an amazing amount of controversy over the years, especially in the UFO community.  If some extraterrestrial civilization has found a way to get around the all-pervasive force of gravity, that would certainly go a long way in explaining the presence of so many UFOs in our skies.  And in emulating these UFOs, i.e. in trying to build such interplanetary vehicles, the ability to unhook ourselves from Earth’s firm grasp would be the first, if not the most important step, in this process.  But is Searl’s version of such a flying saucer the way to go?  

As Dana Custer of the Electric Spacecraft Journal, previously referenced, has pointed out, there are some difficulties here: “For a variety of reasons, Searl seems unable or unwilling to give out clarifying information.  He has said that he has flown a number of these discs, and that some rose up, hovered, and then disappeared, going straight up into space.  But where are the eyewitness accounts?  The Barrett report stated that there were indeed eyewitnesses, but they remain unidentified.

“Searl is considered pretentious by most of the scientific community; and his work, therefore, is thought to be suspect.  He is a self-taught scholar; and his explanations may elude the more formally trained.  The concepts involved are intriguing- electricity, magnetism, the glowing corona.  The explanations are complicated; but they sound convincing.”

Naturally, we would all like to see the realization of the anti-gravity devices and resulting benefits that Searl’s explanations suggest.  Custer admits that we all want this so much that we are, “willing to investigate even the most obscure references.”  But it would be tremendous, at this point, to be able to interview some verifiable eye-witnesses.  Or even better, how about being an eyewitness to the proper application of a Searl Generator, actually noting the reproduced effects?

Editor’s Note:  Keep checking this website for Part V of Raymond Keller’s Possible Methods of UFO Propulsion Examined, where the doctor allows us to take a peek at substantial research into emerging anti-gravity theory that was taking place behind the “Ivy Curtain” of  American universities between the years 1949 and 1953, which in turn, would spark of plethora of government-backed corporate investigations and applications in this exciting new area.

Bizarre Entities in Dark Swedish Forest

An au-pair in Sweden recounts a bizarre night in the forest. She encounters a nude woman sitting on a rock and a dark shadow with illuminated eyes.

The following account was recently referred to me:

"I am an au-pair in Sweden and spent most summer weekends in my family's summer house, which is out in the archipelago outside of Stockholm. Breathtakingly beautiful place but boonies doesn't even begin to cover it. The nearest neighbor is about a 30 minute brisk walk away. And after that there's nothing except ocean and thick, terrifying forest.

This particular night was date night for the parents so I was left with the two children alone out in the terrifying house. There are two houses on the property, one main house and the other is a guest house, where of course I got to sleep all alone. It's literally two meters from the ocean.

The game plan was to go exploring in the forest, which I had never done alone with the children, only with the parents, and then walk to pick up my boyfriend from the bus stop. He would stay with us until the parents got home from their date and then my boyfriend and I would go sleep in the guest house.

So, while in the forest, I kept getting the jitters. Things were definitely stranger and it wasn't just because I was alone with two children, I grew up in the forest. But several times we heard the birds calling out these weird distress call noises and big flocks would appear, a long time before we were even close enough to scare them. And there were big thudding footsteps nearby. I was terrified of there being an moose or something.

We came to a little hidden lake, and then things got even weirder. Though the place is unpopulated for miles, there was a woman sitting on a rock opposite us, about sixty feet away. She was naked and wet as though she'd been swimming even though the water was MUCH too cold for that. When she saw us, she stood up and did this weird pacing thing, like she would get close to the water and then back away, then move close again. Like she wanted to cross and come toward us but there was the obvious lake barrier in the way. The kids were mildly worried and it wasn't long before I ushered them back the way we'd come and we made our way out of the forest.

On the road to pick up my boyfriend I had the oddest sensation of being watched. I was really terrified actually. But we met him with no incident and returned to the cabin just as the sun was setting. We gave the kids dinner and just as they were curling up with a Swedish comic book, the main door slammed open.

I really remember thinking it was a real person. There was a heavy footfall and then BAM! like someone had stomped and flung open the door. But there was no one there. My boyfriend went out and had a look around. Nothing. Must have been the wind of course, right? It's always the wind.

While we were in bed reading the story we could hear skittering around and clawing from underneath where we were. I knew for a fact that rats and other rodents camped out at the other end of the house, because that's where the kitchen was. I had a really awful feeling in the pit of my stomach but my rational boyfriend promised me it was a fox or weasel and not to get worked up.

Fast forward to 3 am. I had to pee, my boyfriend and I were in the guest house. My bosses had come home long ago. Right after I had finished, I straightened and adjusted my shirt, that I got that awful feeling of dread. I had it in the forest, I had it on the way to see my boyfriend, I had it while we were camped out inside the house. I had felt just fine in the guest house with my boyfriend, but now the feeling was back.

Behind the guest house is a steep hill, about a 45 degree angle, and on that hill sits what we call the 'ghost house.' It was the house of an old soldier in the 1600's and now it just sits there vacant. There's a trail going from the ghost house to the main summer home, and my boss had lit the trail with dim solar lamps. You can't see how to read by the light of the lamps, but the idea was to light your way up the hill and not trip and die over a tree root.

I could sense something moving up the trail. That means, something moving FROM the main house TO the ghost house. I squinted in the dark and saw a shape of a person, but that wasn't right because by the solar light you can see color - jeans or shirts or jackets, and ours all had reflectors on them - but this was just a black shadow. I thought 'animal' but then ruled that out because it was two legs, walking REALLY fast and smoothly, but then it slowed and seemed to notice me.

I was actually terrified, but my intuition told me to commence staredown, so I did. I was fighting to see in the dark and just when I couldn't focus, I realized there were two very softly illuminated eyes on its face. And they were on me. It slowed down to a stroll and I could see the eyes change tint from a blueish to a yellowish glow based on where they were in relation to the solar lamps. They were catching light.

So I stared. It was going so slow now this felt surreal, and I could hear twigs snapping and other noises that a real-life non-imagined creature makes. I remember actually thinking "this isn't a hallucination, it's f*cking WALKING on the ground..." And then the weirdest part.m Instead of moving at a normal, relative height the way human eyes (or animal eyes) would do, the eyes started kind of hovering. They were six feet off the ground, suddenly would dip down to four feet, then back up to five. And they never left me. But the direction this thing was moving in never changed, it kept going up the hill.

The eyes and the figure faded out into the darkness once the solar lamps ended, and I went back into the guest house and locked the door. I heard nothing else that night. My boyfriend slept through everything, but early in the morning he woke up whimpering from a nightmare. And that's the only time anything has ever happened at that summer house and I was there collectively a month." RA
