Tall Grey Upright Hominid Encountered in Indonesian Jungle

Two Indonesian men encounter an human adult-sized primate while riding their motorcycle through the jungle. The sighting was intimidating and frightening.

I recently found the following account:

"This happened to my uncle. On Christmas Eve 1994 he was riding his motorcycle with a friend on their way home from visiting my grandparents who lived in a small village in Indonesia. It had rained like crazy the week before, the bridge on the main road had collapsed so they had to take another route on a dirt road round the hill. They had been riding for a few minutes through the dark forest when suddenly something happened. My uncle hit the brake so abruptly they almost fell. Hundreds of monkeys were emerging from the bushes a few meters in front of them, making their way to the other side of the dirt road beyond the treeline. My uncle waited patiently until the last monkey disappeared behind the bushes. Just when he was about to start the engine, another monkey walked out of the bushes. This one, my uncle said, was unbelievably huge. Dark greyish and as tall as an adult. It was bulky and it limped a little as it moved. It was walking upright, very slowly, towards the bushes. And suddenly it stopped in the middle of the road. It turned its head around to look at my uncle. He said he had never felt so scared in his life before. The gigantic monkey stood there so still staring into his soul. There was a flash of intimidation and wisdom in its eyes that only comes with old age. And he could see that this beast knew that they knew they were in its territory. My uncle could feel his friend shaking violently behind him.

Let me tell you that we are not really familiar with the Sasquatch or Bigfoot legends where I came from, so whatever this thing was it was neither of these two. After what felt like minutes the staring contest was finally over when the beast walked into the bushes to join its troop.

My uncle waited for a few more minutes until he was convinced no more monkeys were showing up and caught them off guard before they took off. When they finally made their way out of the forest onto the main road his friend went "What the hell was that?"

My uncle was sure that that huge monkey they had just seen was the leader of the troop. It was just trying to make sure that its troop made it to the other side of the forest safely. But what scared him the most was that it never blinked while staring at him. It still gives him the chills whenever he thinks about the frightening encounter.

And as soon as he got home he called my grandmother to tell her that he had arrived home. He also told her about the beast. She said it might have been the 'Spirit of the forest' taking a form of a gigantic monkey. According to the local folklore, the forest is old and home to hundreds of ancient spirits. He was lucky He did not encounter the dangerous ones that the local believed were responsible for the mysterious disappearances of people who had taken a shortcut through the forest." M

NOTE: Is it possible that this was a Orang Pendek? Lon

Cow-Sized 'Hyena' Cryptid Observed Near Shippensburg, Pennsylvania

A south central Pennsylvania waste hauler recently observed an unknown cow-sized hyena-like cryptid at approximately 3 am during his route near Shippensburg, Pennsylvania.

The following account was recently sent to me:

"Around 3 am on July 14, 2020 I had my first close cryptid sighting. I'm writing to you and the community to see if anyone else has seen or heard anything the likes of what I saw today. Now I'm a Waste hauler (trashman). I start my days very early everyday. So the majority of my work day takes place in the wee hours of the day.

I live in south central Pennsylvania and have resided there nearly my whole life. My place if employment is in the College town of Shippensburg. My job sits on outlying area of Shippensburg. A lot of these areas are surrounded by vast farmlands and open fields. Well, this morning while traveling to the start of my route I turned down one of the MANY roads surrounded by fields. It was a half crescent moon so there was plenty of light to see in the darkness. As I rounded my turn I saw what looked like a cow lying in an open field. But this field had no fences or wire to keep livestock in. And it was only one. I found this very odd as I'm looking at the broad shoulders of what I thought was a cow. So I broke out my high power mag light to brighten up what I was looking at. When my beam hit this animal, it rose up from the ground in a slow lumbering and purposeful action. As it came up on all 4's the creature stood about 5 to 6 feet tall at it shoulder blades. I'm my truck I'm elevated and I sit about that high from the ground. The creature was about 30 feet from me and I know if I stood toe to toe with it, its head would be taller than I, and I'm 6 foot.

Now at this moment the back of this creature is still facing me. It then turned its head into my light and the lens flare off its eyes were a yellow green color. And eyes facing FORWARD. This was a predatory creature. Not a damn cow! At that moment heat and cold wash over my body and I feel real genuine life threatening fear take over. I don't move. Sitting the middle of the road knowing I'm low on the pecking order of the food chain at this moment. It continues to measure me for what felt forever and it suddenly turned its head, and tore off faster than I could know. My pathetic guess is about 30 to 40 mph as it darted away. And after all this, the only thing I could think was that it was some for of giant hyena. The most terrifying real life creature I've ever witnessed and it was gone so fast.

Its been on my mind all day and I had to share this experience. I always listened to your show or others and hear about people and their sightings, feeling a way, wishing for my experience. And as of this morning, I really wish I didn't get my turn. Not like that, not feeling so vulnerable. Like it was starting at its next meal. I hope there are others that may have seen or heard of what I saw, that light can be she'd on the topic. Especially for my area. I work in that darkness all the time. Now I'm looking over my shoulder." VR

NOTE: we are in the process of interviewing the witness and plan to send investigators to the area. Lon

Creepy Incident (Possible Skinwalker) Near Kisatchie National Forest, Louisiana

An Attakapas native man is camping in the deep wilderness near the Kisatchie National Forest in south central Louisiana when he encounters a possible mimic being or Skinwalker. Very creepy account.

I had this account in my database, though this is the first time I have posted it. Not sure where it came from, but it is an interesting story:

"My friend Mack likes to go solitary camping on occasion, to be one with nature and the things that go along with that. He is also an avid gun collector and enthusiast. He heritage is Attakapas native ancestry.

I don't remember exactly when he said this took place but it was few years back and he decided to go camping on a whim. He packed his gear, a hunting rifle and .45 sidearm specifically, and headed out into the country onto a vast swatch of property owned by a friend of his. He had full permission to be there. This happened close to the Kisatchie National Forest in south central Louisiana. I won't be any more specific other than that. Safe to say it's many square miles of forest and wilderness.

He liked to hike in pretty deep and camp at a specific spot he found a few trips prior. So he made his way in and set up camp in his usual small clearing for the night. Skipping ahead a few hours it was now late afternoon when he heard leaves crunching and twigs being stepped on.

He assumed it was an animal at first and got up from cooking something on the fire to try to get a look. He gazed in the direction of the noise and saw a man approaching through the trees a good many yards away.

He has described his etiquette for dealing with other people in very remote places as always being cautious as more often than not people he comes across are armed like him. He tries to stay as friendly as possible but still keeps his guard up looking for any ulterior motives as you never can tell what some folks are up to out in the middle of nowhere. He'll make chit chat with them, find out generally what they're up to if he can, and occasionally share a meal, etc. He's never really met anyone nefarious as of yet other than this situation and maybe one other but that's a whole other ordeal.

So one thing that sets off small alarm bells for him is he knows he's the only one with permission to be on this property and secondly this guy is not dressed for the location at all. He said the guy was wearing a white t-shirt, short blue jogging shorts, and white socks and sneakers. Mind you Mack is miles out in the middle of the woods away from any paths, roadways, houses, or anything really. Nobody is going to casually stroll into his current location dressed like that unless they are lost/confused etc.

It was early fall but not quite cool (very normal for Louisiana) so there's a ton of mosquitoes, ticks, and other insects. You're not going to have most of your skin exposed if you can help it deep in the woods. I know that all too well from personal experience myself.

So Mack assumes something might be up and calls out "Hey there, do you need help or something?" pretty loud. Definitely loud enough to be heard. The guy keeps walking forward staring directly at him. Mack is starting to get unnerved and as I said I know this guy well and he's cool as cucumber in a tense situation. Getting more uneasy, as the guy is closing the distance, he gets to his feet and loudly declares "Hey man, can I help you with something or what?" The guys is 15 to 20 feet away from Mack now standing at the edge of the clearing and the forest.

The guy looking Mack dead in the eye, speaks, and clearly says "Help me." Mack said he was already starting to actually get worried at this point because he said the way the guy said this was as if something that didn't know exactly how to talk was saying help me or at least that's what he first thought. It did not sound right. The guy still unmoving says "Help me." Again, slightly more emphatic but really just slightly louder. Mack said this is when he picked up on what was truly wrong about this. He said the timbre of the voice was more female and actually sounded like a recording being played back and that the guy's lip and mouth movements weren't matching up with the phrase.

It's like he was just opening his mouth, emitting the phrase, and closing it again. Mack asked "What do you need help with?" not daring to backup or move whatsoever. The guy still standing motionless as well still looking directly at him said "Help me" again and repeated the phrase another three times slowly but not louder in volume.

Mack now totally unsure of what the hell is going on interrupts the guy by barking "Alright, you need to f*cking go now unless you actually need my help!." "Do you need my help or not?!" He continued loud and firm in tone. The guy didn't miss a beat and started up with the "Help me" again and made as if to take another step in Mack's direction.

Mack told me that he then did the only thing that made sense in the moment and drew his .45 semi auto pistol and pointed it at the guy telling him again "You need to f*cking go! I don't care what you want!" The guy starts to get more animated and agitated actually starting to say the phrase louder now over and over but not stepping closer or backing away.

Mack did what he thought was right given his current predicament, assuming he was dealing with an unstable or potentially dangerous individual, and discharged a round into the ground in front of the guy. Now this is where it gets fully batshit crazy. As the guy stops uttering the phrase, goes silent, and still staring at Mack full on backflips/somersaults (like gymnasts do) backwards into the woods and immediately out of sight. Now I know what you're thinking because I had and still have the same reaction. That sounds like bullshit for sure but Mack gave no indication of falsehood and told me this multiple times each time in dead serious demeanor.

Yet Mack said the guy backflipped away effortlessly as if pulled back by an unseen tensioned coil. He described it as completely humanly unnatural and totally out of place. The guy had just appeared and repeated the same phrase over and over eventually becoming almost frantic before Mack shot at the ground before him causing him/it to flee.

Mack said he stood there focused on the forest where the guy just flipped into and saw and heard no further movement. It was like the guy had never even been there. He stayed like this as the sun began to set and the normal night noises crept in. As I mentioned before Mack is a pretty unshakable fellow and actually stayed in the area for the night and next night before returning with no further incident.

When he had told me and some other friends about this of course we asked many questions. We asked him to elaborate on the guys speech sounds. He said the more he thought about it after the incident the more sure he was that it was definitely a female's voice coming from the guy. It was like he/it had heard someone say this and mimicked it like a parrot or other talking bird would. Almost like a lure. He doesn't know what it wanted. He/it (yea it might qualify as an 'it') didn't give any indication to follow or utter anything else. He/it reacted immediately to the gunshot and you know what followed there. He has been back to the property since with no other strange occurrences.

The only other minute detail that I can think of is he did remember hearing during the early morning of the first night what sounded like a gunshot off in the distance and it did sound eerily similar to his .45. He thought he may have heard it again on the hike back out. There are people that hunt in the area of course and it could have just been that. He couldn't be sure.

Since this incident (and one other he had in a complete different location) he did some online research of the whole Kisatchie area and found many legends, stories, and supposed encounters dealing with Skinwalkers and other unnerving bits of Native American folklore in the area. Not to mention mimics and other similar supposed creatures. A lot of his encounter lines up with these tales but there's nothing tangible to prove it of course but even as a skeptic it does make me wonder about strange things in the remote and untouched areas of our world that can't be explained."

Long Haired Cryptid Encountered in New Hampshire Forest

A man recalls his encounter with a long haired biped while growing up in New Hampshire. He suspects that it may have been a Bigfoot, but isn't quite sure what it was.

The following account was recently forwarded to me:

"This happened when I was a child, and to this day I really can't explain it. I'm going to tell the story as objectively as possible in order to get your reaction. BTW, I'm now 35 years old and an evidence-based scientific person. I work as an analyst for a large organization and deal with information, statistics, and numbers. I believe that extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.

This encounter occurred when I was about 8 years old while living in New Hampshire. At the time, my family was renting a renovated house that had been built in the 1700's. Some of the original house remained on the exterior. Admittedly an awesome place to live as a kid if you're the adventurous type. The property sat on 80 acres that included a large forest and a small pond about a mile back behind the house.

My dad, sister and I would often walk out to the pond, which entailed a 15-minute journey through the dense New England forest. We called the pond "Beaver Pond," owing to the many beavers that lived in the area. My sister is two years younger then I, so she was about 6 at the time.

One day, the three of us made our usual walk to the pond in the early evening. Soon after we arrived at the pond, for some reason I wanted to go back to the house. I don't believe it was anything unusual. Halfway along the pathway home, the forest had started to dim a bit and I got uncomfortable so I began to run. I'm not sure why I wasn't looking in front of me, I might have been glancing to the sides and back as my paranoia mounted, and suddenly 'BAM,' I ran into it. Shocked, I took a step back and this is what I remember seeing.

It was at least three times my height and stood on two legs. It was completely covered in long, gray-brown slightly matted hair. Not fur but hair, similar to a human's. I recall it looking like a sloth (especially the head) that was walking upright on hind legs, with very slow movements - almost as if it were moving in slow motion. I don't remember any facial features. Its 'arms' were held up, kind of like a kangaroo's front legs. I didn't sense any malice or aggression from the creature. If anything, I got the feeling that it was as surprised as I was. As soon as I got over my shock, I ran around it and continued running back to our house. I glanced back and saw it slowly turning its entire body around to look at me as I raced home.

A couple days ago I asked my mom if she remembered me telling her about the incident and she did, and added a couple of details. She said that I did describe a face and eyes watching me and that at some point it hid behind a tree to watch me. I don't recall this part.

Now, when I was 18 I was watching an episode of Unsolved Mysteries with my late father and a segment about a Sasquatch sighting came up. After the segment my dad told me that once, when we lived in New Hampshire, he took my sister in the family station wagon for a drive through the woods around our house. He said that at one point both he and my sister saw something brown race across the road in front of them. "At first, I thought it was a deer," he said. "But I quickly realized that it had a humanoid shape and stood on two legs, taking giant strides." I recently asked my sister about this and she remembers it well.

So, there you have it. I know all too well about the fallibility of memory and readily admit that there are a lot of inconsistencies, but I've documented exactly what I remember, no more or less. At the time of the encounter, I didn't know anything about ghosts, monsters or Bigfoot. I did however have an intense phobia of primate faces for the rest of my childhood, up until I hit adolescence. Some people have suggested I undergo regression hypnosis, but to be very honest I'm a little too afraid to. I can't shake the sense that there was more to the encounter that I can't remember or was somehow lost. There could be a perfectly normal explanation, in fact this is most likely. However, I haven't been able to come up with anything that makes sense, other than the whole thing being the overactive imagination of a child." RC

7 ft Black Haired Biped Encountered in Leakesville, Mississippi

A teen experiences an encounter with a 7 ft biped with long black hair with 2 white stripes extending down it's back. This occurred in Leakesville, Mississippi approximately 15 years ago.

I recently found the following account on social media:

"It's been years since this encounter. I am a 28 year old male now residing in Georgia, but at the time of the story I was about 13 in south Mississippi (Leakesville) where this took place.

So many years ago, my parents had gotten divorced. When my parents split, my dad moved in with my grandmother along with my younger brother in Mississippi. My mom had moved across state line to Alabama. No more than 40 miles apart. I decided to move in with my mom but visited my dad every weekend because they agreed upon joint custody. Now where my dad and my grandmother lived, that road had a lot of relatives of ours living down the road. Now from beginning of the road to the end is about 15 or 20 miles, but our relatives lived starting with us at the beginning and the last relative of our family lived about 2 miles deep of that same road. Pretty much, the first 2 miles of this road, I knew it and had family on either side. So riding bikes or walking was very common for us kids at the time. Also not much to worry about getting abducted due to the relatives. My last relative of this 2 mile stretch was by far my favorite to visit at this part of my life. My aunt and uncle lived there along with my cousin whom was only 3 years older than me. My cousin and I were close. I mean so close, everytime I'd visit my dad I'd get there, visit for about 30 minutes and then walk or ride my bike to my cousin's for the duration of that weekend. I adored him and my aunt and uncle. We were big into Pokémon, YuGiOh, World Online. I mean anything popping in the early 2000's, we had a slice of it. Sorry for the rambling, just painting the picture.

So I get to my dad's on a Saturday morning, hang out for about 30 minutes and decided to ring up my cousin. Mind you it's summer transitioning to autumn. To which of course he's home. I get permission and start my trek. Alone, mind you. I can't remember why I didn't have my bike but I remember it not being there. As I start walking, clouds get gray and it begins to drizzle/sprinkle. I'm not to worried about it because I'm half way there already and my clothes shouldn't get soaked due to this. As I pass a relative's home and before I get to my cousin's, there's this long curve that swings right. Once directly center of this curve, it's nothing but trees and dense brush on both sides with no houses in sight. Again, if center, to your left before the brush thickens, there's a small patch of grass about 3 to 4 ft high.

I'm walking and get to this curve. As I get to the center of the curve, the rain gets a bit heavier. As the rain hits the pavement, I'm tightening my shirt collar around my neck to help keep dry. As I'm doing so, I start hear rustling in the small patch of grass to my left. Thinking it just could be a deer, I turn left and see it. It was big, tall, humanoid like creature. It had its back to me walking oddly/slowly into the woods. It was about 7 foot tall and approximately 30 feet away from me. I f*cking froze. I just stared at it. It was completely engulfed with hair, black hair and down its back on the left and right side had a thin white vertical line running down both sides. Now this is going to sound stupid but it looked like a 7 ft tall, stand on two leg skunk with no tail. As soon as it got to the wood line, I booked it. I remember running on the center yellow lines of the road the help make my escape more quiet and the rain helped with that as well.

As I escaped the curve and it straightened out, I could see my cousin's place and I didnt stop running until I reached the house. I tried to tell my cousin about it and my family, but everyone just wrote me off. I mean, I was only 13 and no proof. I didn't have a cellphone during this time and if they did, we couldn't afford it. So no one believed me. I never walked down that road again. Now that I'm older and moved out of state, about twice a year I go down and visit some family around that very road and everytime I pass that curve, I look to see if I can see it again." GD

The witness added this follow up information to a question:

"It had long limbs to its thighs, but a little large but not muscular. More of an ape head, but didn't see its face or ears or muzzle. It was so thick in hair I can't recall seeing a buttocks. It for sure stood upright but again, I only saw the backside. Legs were long and large too. It had a good size stride if it wanted to lunge or run. There were 2 stripes, one on the left shoulder blade and right. Both parallel running vertically to about mid thigh. Most bizarre, yet terrifying experience I've had." GD

8-9 Ft. Black Sasquatch Observed Near Beaver Bend State Park, Oklahoma

Two friends are hiking near Beaver Bend State Park when they encountered a 8-9 foot black hairy hominid, that eventually raced up a steep incline with unbelievable speed and grace.

The following account was part of a group of sightings reported to a colleague several years ago:

"A friend and I both saw, what we believe to be, a Sasquatch on May 14, 2016. It wasn't inside the Beaver Bend State Park, but was on a trail that was in the surrounding Ouachita National Forest in eastern Oklahoma.

As we were hiking we heard a strange noise. It was a very loud call that sounded like it was from something big. The voice seemed almost hoarse sounding. As it called, I noticed a glimpse of something black slip out of view behind some trees growing along the creek bed between us. A second later the black form came out from the other side of the trees and appeared to be strafing to it's right. It stopped for a second and I could faintly see the glistening of its eyes contrasting its entirely matted black figure. It only stopped for a short moment before vanishing from view again behind more trees.

At that point I was really confused what I was seeing, and we were trying to judge what could have made the sound. After what was probably only 15 seconds, my friend exclaims that he could see it. It was obstructed from my view until the last few moments when it appeared out from behind the trees that were blocking my view. It looked like an eight or nine foot person who was totally covered in black. It was running up a considerably steep ridge at incredible speeds. The oddest part is that it almost appeared to be gliding up the steep incline. It was moving incredibly fast, but it was perfectly smooth, almost like being on a conveyor belt. Each stride it took with it's legs allowed it to cover a seemingly impossible amount of distance. It seriously almost looked like some 'Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon' nonsense.

At first we tried to brush it off as just an incredibly fit jogger. We expected the trail to lead up the way where we saw the humanoid form, but once we realized the trail led in a completely different direction it became hard to rationalize that we saw a human moving that gracefully through brush at such high speed.

I haven't told many people because I don't expect them to believe me. I wouldn't believe me if I hadn't been there. I was always skeptical of Sasquatch existing. I never thought a species of large apes could possibly evade capture for so long in a country as densely populated as America. The whole experience has only left me with more questions than answers. Why haven't we found bones yet? Even if they bury their dead, we'd have eventually unearthed SOMETHING accidentally at some point.

There's lots of points to be made about how seemingly unlikely their existence is; and yet, this sh*t happens. Life is weird." DB

NOTE: This is an area that, historically, has had lot of Bigfoot reports. The last Class A sighting reported to the BFRO was from August 2010, but I have received several since that time and have read others as well. The Ouachita National Forest in eastern Oklahoma and then into Arkansas is well-known for a variety of unexplained phenomena. Lon

Screaming 'Mimic' Humanoid Terrifies Young Witness!

An unknown entity, mimicking a teen's mother and sister, is seen roaming the house just before it reacts to the boy's presence and screams as it runs into the basement.

The following account was forwarded to me:

"I haven't told anyone besides some family members this. This happened when I was about 13 or so. It was summertime and I was on vacation with my parents. We had hit the road and driven quite a ways to visit my older sister who lived across the country in British Columbia about 20 km outside of Victoria. After spending time together and sharing supper we decided to call it a night. My parents slept in my sister's bedroom and she slept in the neighbouring room with her small son.

It's important to note a few things at this point. My mother is a round, short woman with very delicate, feminine features. She has round glasses and that night went to bed in a long, blue nightgown. My sister on the other hand, is very tall and athletically built, taking after my dad in regards to her facial features. She too has glasses but unlike my mother, hers were square shaped. She went to bed in a shorter, orange and striped nightgown. These small but substantial differences are key. Now, since all of the bedrooms were full, I was given a blanket and pillow to sleep on the couch with. Of course like any kid, I watched TV for a few hours, well into the night.

At around 4 am it dawned on me that we had plans for the next day so I should try and get some rest. After tossing and turning for about an hour or so, I gave up an just laid on my back staring at the stars visible from the nearby window. As the natural light flooded the room from the sun rising I flipped through some photo albums. I did this for a while, not having slept at all the entire night. At this point I was pretty bored and lonely, hoping someone would wake up soon and talk to me.

Around 8 am, I heard a door slowly open and someone came out into the hallway. At my sister's house, the living room is sunken in and a small staircase of maybe 3 steps leads to the raised kitchen and dining room. The hallway is also in this raised area and connects to the bathroom and bedrooms. In the living room there is a doorless archway that leads down to the basement and laundry room. This means that I could look up and see what was going on in the dining area from the couch. This person hummed a little and then was caught off guard by a table in the dining room, full of framed pictures of family my sister had on display. I don't know how to describe the way they looked at the photos besides saying they were bewildered by them. Maybe even enchanted, letting out an occasional "Oh!" and "Ahh!"

I could tell it was a woman but I wasn't sure if it was my mother or sister. This was strange because like I said, they looked alike but were also very distinguishable. I also felt this weird feeling because everyone in my family has seen these photos many times and I'd even say may own a few copies of their own of those exact same photos, so why act so amazed by them?

I said "Hey! Ma? What're you doing?" in a nervous yet warm voice. No response. Okay then, it was my sister. "Hey, Good Morning _____! What are you making your dear sibling for breakfast?" No response. Huh. I knew I was definitely loud enough, they had heard me for sure. That uneasy feeling in my stomach grew stronger now, and I had no idea why. The likeness of my sister and mother was there, so it wasn't like a stranger or something.

Then I noticed something very off, they were wearing a knee length, blue and orange striped nightgown. Their height wasn't short but it wasn't tall either, it was average. They had a muscular build but could not be called skinny either. The hair was the same colour as both my sister and mother's and so was the skin colour. My heart skipped and I thought 'who the hell is this?' Maybe someone stayed overnight? But how could they have, I had laid right beside the front door all night. When they turned around and went to inspect another photograph on a wall near that staircase, their face made my heart sink. It was a hybrid of my mother and sister's most discernible features, with glasses that were round on the bottom but squared on the top.

Their eyes were not my mother's or my sister's. They were very wide and unnerving and darted all around the walls very quickly. Very excitedly. It was as if my mother and sister had been Frankenstein-ed together into one person.

My knee jerk reaction after seeing the face was to scooch my legs in and pretend I was sleeping. I could feel the veins in my neck beating very hard and my breathing became very loud and laboured. Whoever the hell it was, came down the stairs and looked around the living room with that same excitement. I don't know how to explain how scared I was as it came closer to me. I thought maybe if I stayed quiet it would pass by me. I was also scratching and pinching myself now, in case I was asleep without realizing it. The pain was very real, I was awake. The 'thing,' I watched with my eyes squinted, took up an interest in a photo album I had left on the table, very close to me. Then, probably the worst thing that could have happened, happened. My sister's portable home phone rang. My sister had answered a call last night and had put the phone on the couch frame between the wall and its cushions. The thing's face became very alarmed and it turned in my direction and saw me and became very, very angry. I opened my eyes and looked at it in its face and just stared back, with my entire body trembling. Its eyes were pure black, total darkness like two huge pupils staring right at me and furious. It opened its mouth unnaturally wide and screamed "NOOOOOO!" Then it turned and darted down the stairs to the basement where I heard a door slam shut and it kept yelling "NO NO NO NO NO!"

I stared at the archway for a long time, still shaking and digging my nails into my arm, begging to wake up because I was so afraid it would come back, wishing I was just dreaming. I literally could not move because I was too scared to get up in case it came back or was waiting at the arch and I could not speak for the reason. My brain abandoned me.

An hour must have passed like that, I did not move. It had stopped yelling and this was for some reason even scarier than when it had been yelling because at least then I was sure it was downstairs and not slowly climbing back up the stairs to fillet me alive. I then wondered why no one in the family was awaken by the screams?

Then I heard a door open again from the hallway upstairs and stared at it, full of adrenaline at this point. It was my mom, exactly herself and in the right nightgown. She was humming as she put on coffee and started making toast. Another door opened, my sister this time. The same as she had looked before heading off to bed. She and my mom talked for a bit and I just stared at them. My sister eventually saw me staring at her over the banister and yelled "Haha, what the hell! Why are you just staring at me? Why didn't you say something?" I replied back in a very shaky voice "I did...twice." They looked at each other as if to say 'Huh?' I told my mom I hadn't slept yet and she said that was a big mistake, etc. I ate breakfast with them and then realized eventually I was awake and had really not slept at any point that night.

I decided against my judgment to tell them what had just happened, in case it came upstairs to hurt them. They pretty much laughed at me and told me I had just fallen asleep and imagined it. They basically told me I was nuts. My sister told me to go sleep with my nephew and asked me to try and fix the screen in her room as it had somehow fallen out of the window onto the floor in the night. On my way to her room, I walked by that table in the dining room and noticed all of the frames were moved and in different places than last night. I pointed this out very excitedly like "SEE!? SEE?" and my sister just shrugged it off and said her son liked looking at them. I kept pressing the issue so my sister (much to my hysterical protest) went to the basement in every room just to make me shut up about it. She didn't see anything unusual.

I laid in the bed and did not sleep a wink. I still think about it from time to time and did not ever sleep on that couch again, opting instead to sleep in the floor of the room my parents were in and locking the door. I have been questioning reality since." CC

Lessons Learned From A Contactee: Woodrow W. Derenberger (1916-1990) - Part I

An article, with rare and new content, written exclusively for Phantoms & Monsters

By Dr. Raymond A. Keller, author of the international awards-winning Venus Rising Trilogy, available on amazon.com while supplies last

Venus Rising: A Concise History of the Second Planet

Final Countdown: Rockets to Venus

Cosmic Ray's Excellent Venus Adventure
First Encounter

Woodrow Derenberger’s extraterrestrial contact case came to the attention of the UFO community, and the world, when his story was picked up by the wire services in the second week of November 1966. Before that month was out, investigators from both the Air Force and the planet’s largest civilian UFO group, the National Investigations Committee on Aerial Phenomena (NICAP) in Washington, D.C., were interviewing Derenberger and searching for evidence of the alien presence on Earth in the alleged landing zone of the flying saucer, just outside of Parkersburg, West Virginia.

His initial experience with the flying saucer and a being from another planet took place on the night of 2 November 1966. Derenberger, a salesman for a sewing machine company, completed his sale in Marietta, Ohio, and was on the road, driving his pick-up back home to Mineral Wells, West Virginia, on the outskirts of Parkersburg just off Interstate 77.

About halfway between Parkersburg and his home, a big saucer-shaped craft nestled down on the South Hill Road in front of Derenberger’s pick-up truck. The object literally covered the width of the highway from berm-to-berm. Surprisingly, Derenberger was more curious than anxious about the UFO landing.

Derenberger noticed a hatch opening up on the side of the object. There was an intense light pouring out from the open portal, and out stepped a slim, seemingly fit specimen of a man, dark-skinned and middle-aged. Derenberger estimated him to be about 40 years old, plus or minus five years.

The ufonaut started walking over to Derenberger’s pick-up truck. The mysterious craft suddenly rose about 50 feet in the air, hovering overhead while the visitor approached Derenberger’s truck, mentally transmitting the thought to him that he desired the experiencer to roll down the window and have a friendly chat with him.

Derenberger complied, rolling down the window. The extraterrestrial self identified as being one “Indrid Cold, a searcher of the cosmos.” Derenberger hesitatingly gave him his own name. Cold could sense that Derenberger was now getting a little edgy. At first, the Earthling thought the craft might be some kind of experimental aerial platform from the Air Force or the space agency, but now he was worried about his physical safety. Cold reassured him, declaring, “Have no fear. I am the same as you are. I sleep and breathe and bleed as you do. I wish you no harm, only happiness.”

Derenberger also answered other telepathic questions from Cold about his employment and his home. Derenberger mentally engaged the ufonaut and projected the thoughts that he needed to work for a living and that he lived not too far from the landing zone. The contactee also let the alien know that the lights off in the distance were the city of Parkersburg in the state of West Virginia. Cold relayed some information about the social structure of his planet, as well. Derenberger received a mental image from the ufonaut projecting a scientifically advanced settlement on a distant world that was referred to by the local inhabitants as simply a “gathering spot.” He also garnered from Cold’s thought transmission that his native planet was called Lanulos, but that it did not orbit our Sun and hence could not be found anywhere in our own solar system.

After a few minutes, the ship then descended just a few feet above Derenberger’s pick-up truck. Cold backed away from Derenberger’s vehicle while the saucer landed back over at its original position on the roadway. Another ufonaut then opened the portal again, and Cold got back inside the ship, slamming the hatch behind him “just like a car door,” as Derenberger later explained to a magazine reporter. The contactee didn’t wait around to watch the UFO take-off, but revved up his pick-up and sped home as quickly as possible.

Derenberger would later remark that, “The papers said the ‘flying saucer took off with tremendous speed;’ but it really didn’t. I was the one who took off with tremendous speed!”

Taunia Bowman, Woodrow Derenberger’s daughter with photo of her famous father, maintains that the stress caused by media harassment caused her parents to divorce. See http://www.ghosttheory.com/2011/06/12....
Disrupted Domestic Life

As many a contactee can attest, a close encounter of the third kind may do quite a bit in expanding one’s cosmic consciousness, but it wreaks havoc with the maintenance of a peaceful home life. “You should have seen him when he got home,” Derenberger’s wife, Ruby Nettie, proclaimed. “He looked awful. I thought he’d struck and killed somebody with the truck. He loves to play with the children, but not that night. I had to shoo them out. He just sat there in the kitchen, grey-colored and saying, ‘You’re going to think I’m crazy,’ and ‘you’re going to laugh at me.’ Then he told me what had happened.”

“I was in shock,” said Derenberger, adding, “That’s what the doctor told me.”

After Derenberger arrived at his home following the first encounter, Mrs. Derenberger states that, “He tried to make a report to the police and he couldn’t even hold the phone. I had to make the call and when I reported it, the officer said it was the third call like that they’d had that night.”

City and state police, as well as an Air Force sergeant and representatives from local media swarmed about Derenberger on the day following his encounter. “I consented to a TV appearance,” said Derenberger; but if I had to do it over again, there would be none of that. As a matter of fact, Cold appeared two nights later and we had another talk. I never mentioned it around here.”

No doubt, a seemingly unending stream of pressure and confusion has been brought to bear on Derenberger’s wife since her husband’s extraterrestrial encounter began to be the focus of a media blitz. Ever since the contactee’s appeared in the newspapers, the Derenbergers’ telephone has rung around at all hours of the day and night. The beleaguered couple had to have their phone number unlisted; but still inquisitive people kept calling. Mail keeps coming in on a daily basis from all over the world. Mrs. Derenberger clutched a fistful of letters from Germany, Japan and Okinawa that still remained unopened, as neither she nor her husband could read or write in any of the languages pertaining to those countries.

Derenberger himself also lamented that there were ten to fifteen callers almost every night, “just driving right up, some making all-night trips to get there, coming in the house. They think they’ll see the ship. It comes in often. Some of them see it, some don’t. We had one NICAP investigator out there who was carrying so much equipment, cameras, tape recorders, etc. he could scarcely get through the door. He didn’t see the ship.”

As time rolled on, however, it appears as though Derenberger paid a steep price for all the media attention his case had brought down on his household. The ongoing invasion of the Derenbergers private life was enough for Mrs. Derenberger to leave her husband, taking their two children (a son Greg and a daughter Taunia) with her. Taunia Bowman, Derenberger’s daughter, once remarked that, “Out at our farmhouse I was scared to go to sleep at night because there were guys with guns in the trees wanting to see what was going on and wanting to see the spaceships.”

Second Encounter

The inquisitive ufologist M. Spohn Marling from Flying Saucers UFO Reports asked Derenberger to provide an account of his second meeting with the mysterious Indrid Cold. Derenberger related the following: “That night, 4 November 1966, I was driving home from Pomeroy, Ohio, with a friend. I got these messages telepathically that Cold was there and then I saw the ship. My friend saw it, too, and several people in the area saw it that night; but nobody knew about my talk with Cold.”

Derenberger continued, “You see, Mrs. Marling, I wasn’t the person Cold planned to contact the first time. He’s told me since that he was really homing in on a car ahead of me, a fellow he’d kept under watch for several days and believed would be a good communicant. But the man’s car was so close to a busy intersection that Cold was afraid there might be an accident if he dropped down in front of him, so he chose me instead. He wasn’t sorry. He told me I’m receptive, a good communicant.”

Then Mrs. Derenberger interjected, “They aren’t making contact only around here. They are doing this all over the country. But they find the people in West Virginia more receptive.”

Lanulos and the Extraterrestrial Life Style

For the article in Flying Saucers UFO Reports previously cited, Derenberger opened up much more about conditions on the planet Lanulos, as well as the lifestyles of that distant world’s indigenous inhabitants. Perhaps this was because he realized that the readers of the UFO magazine weren’t going to laugh at him, since a good many of them had seen the mysterious objects zipping across the skies or maybe a few even experienced direct physical contacts with the ufonauts. This was evidenced in the letters to the editor which appeared in the previous two issues of that publication. Or then he could have considered the softer touch of the interview afforded by the female journalist, M. Spohn Marling, who didn’t press him as hard to answer questions he felt uncomfortable with, especially concerning his wife and children.

“It was at the second meeting, the night of 4 November, that Cold told me about himself,” explained Derenberger. The contactee continued, “He’s from a planet called Lanulos, orbiting a sun much like our own in the Genemedes star cluster. They have woods, streams, fields and oceans, the same as we do. They’ve taken samples of our vegetation and animals. Ours are much like theirs.

“Cold is married. His wife is named Kimi and he had two sons at that time. He has three children, now; one was born right around Christmas time, a little girl.”

At that point in the conversation, Mrs. Derenberger added that, “They’re time travelers.”

“That’s right,” Derenberger affirmed. “They’re in the fourth dimension. One reason they can’t stay here too long at a time is because they get younger down here instead of older. Their life span is 125-175 years; but if they stayed here too long, I think they’d go back in years so far that they might possibly forget how to manipulate their craft.”

Mrs. Derenberger told Marling that, “They have nine scout ships in this area,” providing the lead in for her husband to follow up with the details.

Taking the cue, he replied, “Yes, two men to a craft, except one ship that had four. On one craft there is a husband-wife team, Jitro and Elvara Cletaw.”

Marling wanted to know if Cold was still insisting that his visits to Derenberger were of a friendly nature, and that Cold had promised that no harm would come to him or his family in the future. “He reassured me,” said Derenberger. He’s told me on several occasions that the people on his planet travel and trade with other planets all the time; and that’s what they want to do here. Lanulos has many things that would be of value to us and we have many things that would be of value to Lanulos. Cold wants to have a friendly exchange.

The reporter/UFO investigator wondered if the Earth and our solar system weren’t too far away for a working trade agreement to be set up with the planet Lanulos. Derenberger replied that, “There is a landing base on the Moon, which is shared by many interplanetary civilizations. Those from Lanulos also have a mother ship up there, big as a football field and nine stories high, equipped with berthing docks. The scout ships land there and are taken aboard the mothership.”

NASA Knows All About the Space People

Somewhat skeptical, Marling opined that, “If there’s something like that up there, I should think that scientists over at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) would be interested in it.”

“Oh,” exclaimed Derenberger, “NASA knows all about this, knows more about it than I do. I took my family down to Cape Kennedy not long ago and we were talking with some of the NASA people. I told them Indrid had seen all the devices we have put on the Moon, has even waved at the cameras. He’s seen every astronaut who’s ever gone up and has waved at them and they’ve waved back. NASA said they knew all about it. I’d told them nothing new.

“And when I told them there were people on Venus and Mars just like us, they knew that, too,” the contactee affirmed.

“You remember that space probe to Mars, when we went off course?” Derenberger questioned his interviewer. Marling nodded and then Derenberger explained that, “Cold was responsible for that. You see, our scientists down here had stocked that with unsterilized equipment and the people of Mars couldn’t risk germs and foreign matter being brought in. Cold had to misdirect the craft.”

Further Visitations by Indrid Cold

Derenberger explained that Cold frequently visited his home when the weather was bad, or it was snowing or pouring rain. The extraterrestrial timed his visitations during these times because most of our aircraft were grounded. Reporter Marling wanted to know if there was a lot of Air Force activity around Derenberger’s home, to which he replied that, “We’re told the authorities and the Air Force aren’t out there; but we’ve seen some uniformed and armed men there often. We don’t know who they are.”

As far as anyone else being in touch with Indrid Cold, Derenberger replied, “Yes, there is a group that gets together. They know him. There’s a doctor, a minister and several businessmen. You see, Mrs. Marling, Cold comes here often. He’s brought me bread from his planet. It’s richer and coarser than ours, like old fashioned biscuits. He even brought some spirits, Yucatan brandy in a wooden bottle.

“I’m not a drinking man, mind you, but I drank some of this. My father-in-law said it was like eggnog. But I thought it was syrupy.”

“How did you react?” Marling inquired.

“I really got high.

“I tried to keep that wooden bottle. I’ve tried to take things several times to have the evidence that Cold was here. I even tried to steal something; but I never got away with it.”

More on Indrid Cold

Journalist and ufologist Marling wanted to know if Indrid Cold was as friendly as Woodrow Derenberger said he was, then why didn’t the extraterrestrial let the contactee take his picture, or give him something that he could show to satisfy the curious and the skeptics, or at least make an appointment with the Air Force or NASA or some other government organization that could “really pin this thing down?”

“He says it is not the right time, Mrs. Marling,” declared Derenberger, adding that, “He’s been in touch with the head of our government and our military forces agreed to show up at any place agreeable to them. But our government laid down certain stipulations, telling him we’d have to determine when they came, when they could leave and when they could have their ship back. Cold wouldn’t hear of it.”

“Do you see him anyplace other than your home?” the inquisitive Marling asked.

“Oh, yes,” explained Derenberger, “but I never indicate that I recognize him. I’ve seen him on the streets of Parkersburg. We just barely nod. He wears clothes he’s bought right here, at a local department store.”

“Hmm,” Marling mused. “What did he use for money?”

“That’s just what I asked him,” said Derenberger. “He told me that someone around here had something of great value. I could only guess he’d hocked something, but I don’t know.”

Time Traveling Extraterrestrials

Since the space people from Lanulos inhabit the fourth dimension, that of time, just like my friends the Venusians, I am speculating that it would be easy for them to go back into the past, retrieve rare silver and gold coins, and then return to the present where they could secure cash for these items from pawn shops. And without being too obtrusive and knowing the outcome of horse races and lotteries that took place in bygone days, it wouldn’t be too difficult for them to time travel to the past and place bets, winning sufficient money to meet their needs without attracting too much attention from the Internal Revenue Service or law enforcement agencies. They could easily blend into our society without the need of obtaining Social Security cards under false pretenses.

Back in the 1990s my friend and fellow contactee Rob Potter of the Promise Revealed from Mt. Shasta, California, was driving down in Southern California in Yucca Valley, on his way to Gabriel Green’s house for a strategy meeting of the inner circle of the Amalgamated Flying Saucer Clubs of America, when he went into a Seven-Eleven convenience store, after tapping off his gas tank, for the purpose of buying some sandwiches, snacks and soda pop for the road. As he entered the store, he turned around, his eyes catching a gleam of sunlight glancing off the highly polished chrome of a two-toned, sky blue and white 1955 Custom Bel Air convertible, pulling in to a parking space in front of the establishment. There were three in the car, two young women who looked like teenagers and a gentleman who seemed to be in his early twenties. The man was driving and the two girls were snuggled up in the front seat with him. The male just jumped over the driver’s door and ran around to the passenger side of the vehicle, showing courtesy and opening the door for the two female teens. The radio in the car was playing an oldie from the 1950s, “Maybellene,” by Chuck Berry.

Seeing a classic car like this 1955 Custom Bel Air convertible pull up into the parking lot of a Southern California convenience store, Rob Potter of Mt. Shasta wondered if the driver and its two passengers might be visiting extraterrestrials.
Rob waited a moment and held the door open for the three. They thanked him for his kindness and then proceeded directly to the cash register. Rob’s “proverbial spider senses were tingling,” so he held back in the store to watch the three and observe. Rob somehow knew that he was in the presence of some extraterrestrials. The young women were wearing bobby socks and poodle skirts, with white blouses; and the gentleman driver was wearing high-riding blue jeans, white socks and a clean, crisp, white tee-shirt, with no breast pocket. He purchased three Milky Way candy bars and a pack of Camel cigarettes, which he promptly stuffed under the right sleeve of his tee-shirt.

Rob telepathically projected a question to the gentleman, asking if he was a Venusian or some other kind of extraterrestrial. The young man immediately turned his attention to the back of the store and said, “Great day for touring, isn’t it?” On a telepathic level, however, Rob received a message from all three, “Yes, friend, we are from Venus!”

Rob, although somewhat stunned, acknowledged the gentleman and said, “Sure is. Have a nice trip.” Then the young man and his two girl friends waved to Rob as they left the store, got back into the Bel Air and drove off down the highway.

After going to the cooler to get some soda pop, and then picking up some chips and snacks from the aisles, Rob went over to the cash register to pay for the items. “Are they regulars in your store?” he asked the clerk.

“No, I’ve never seen them before. But nice car, that’s for sure,” the clerk replied. “Oh,” he added, “Here’s something interesting. He paid me with these old silver certificates and silver Franklin half dollars. I bet they are worth a lot to a coin and bill collector.”

I am only presenting this information because it confirms what Woodrow Derenberger was saying about some extraterrestrials being time travelers. Wouldn’t it be something if the Custom Bel Air was itself a time machine, much as Doc Brown’s De Lorean in the Back to the Future movies? And while I wouldn’t walk a mile for a pack of Camel cigarettes, I wouldn’t put it past an inhabitant of Lanulos, Mars or Venus to bridge the expanse of space and time to do it. (END OF PART I)

Scary Encounters: Unknown 'Baby' Crying / Human Bones & Glowing Eyes in Cave

2 different scary reports that include strange sounds of a crying baby that change in direction, as well as a spelunker encountering human bones and glowing eyes in the darkness.

I recently came across the following accounts:

"This was back in the day of no cars for the poor folk in the Appalachians of north Georgia. My great-grandfather's friend was a richer man by poor standards, and thus had a horse. One day he was riding the horse through the state highway, which was a lonely road out in the middle of nowhere. Sun beating down on him during on this summer day.

The road cut this old farm property in half. On the left side of the road was a barn and on the right side was the old farmhouse. It had been abandoned several years at that point. And nothing else but tall swaying cornfields. As he's nearing the house he feels a weird, eerie feeling, but he doesn't pause until he heard a baby crying from inside the house.

Now, there was no car in the driveway, no open door, no lights on. He deduced that if it was a baby, someone, maybe a young mother on the run or a kidnapper, was hiding out in there. Either way the crying baby made him pull up to the driveway on his horse, tie the horse up, and walk up the walkway.

He was halfway up the walkway when the baby stopped. He paused, and then the sound started again. But this time the sound was coming from the barn. Thinking it was just wind currents or something, he strode back down the walkway, and across the highway, leaving his horse, and walked through the corn toward the barn. He was maybe halfway there, looking up and seeing nobody inside yet, when the noise stopped. Then the crying started again, but coming from the house.

He bolted back through the corn and onto his horse, and spurred it out of the property. The horse had been neighing and stomping, generally acting freaked, which it didn't normally do being an older and gentler horse. The friend told my Grandpa that was the only time in that horse's life he'd spurred it and it actually began to gallop away without any further persuasion." RH

"I was on a teen camp expedition in Alberta, Canada to spelunk some local caves, when we decided to move off the beaten path and search another cave. It was very tight, we had to literally force ourselves inside. Once we got in, we walked through the cave for about 1 km until we reached the end where there was a flat wall. At the base of the wall, and up a steep slope there was a 1m x 1m (approx) hole in the wall. I was the skinniest, so was volunteered to investigate. I put on the camp leader's head lamp and got onto my stomach and entered the hole, not able to move my hands more than 15 degrees to the side and edged my whole body in with my feet.

As soon as I got into that hole, I felt a presence watching me. Being a young lad I ignored it and kept crawling into the hole. I travelled around 3 meters into the hole until there was a sharp left hand turn. I shone my headlamp down the tunnel to the end and saw a pile of sticks and leaves and a dead end. I went in to take a look still not able to move my body more than an inch in any direction except for forward. I picked up one of the sticks, and realized that it was a human bone.

At that moment, without telling anyone what I had seen, someone outside let out an absolutely blood curdling scream. I backed out of the hole as fast as I could, and my head hit the roof of the cave turning the lamp off. As soon as the lamp turned out, I saw two glowing eyes staring directly into my face. Instantly, two hands grabbed my ankles and yanked me out of the hole, we ran. The camp lady would not tell anyone what she had seen and neither did I, because I didn't want everyone to think I was crazy." TB
