Yellow-Eyed Bat-Winged Humanoid Encountered in Rio Arriba County, New Mexico

I recently received the following account:

I wanted to tell a story of what I experienced in the vicinity of Rio Arriba County, Abiquiu /Tierra Azul. I was 15 at the time so this was in 2005. My cousin and I were the only ones together.

There was a car in front of us. All of a sudden I see this black figure. It looked like trash flying in the wind, but then as it got closer it started to look like a runner with its hands in front of it; flat, like runners when they are running. But it didn't look like a man. The car in front swerved and in that next seconds everything slowed down.

The creature in front of the car to right of the shoulder started coming at our car and it jumped when it did that, it spread its arms, and these wings came out. About the size of the car, width wise from driver to passenger door. Its face was freaky because it wasn't human at all and had beady yellow eyes, 2 fangs (but it now that I look back it reminds me of the Mothman. It didn't have ears and its face looked almost blank besides eyes and fangs). The fangs looked like 3-6 inches sticking out of its mouth. It's chest had a white V. Its fur was something similar to a deer like grayish white and brown (or an owl). The legs were weird and looked like goat legs (I now know they are called hocks). The height was like 4-5 ft tall. The wings looked like they came out of it's sides (rib cage) like a glider, but they extended longer than the arms and looked like bat wings, except they were big!

My aunt told me that she thinks my cousin, who witnessed the being with me, saw it again a few years ago.

This is here story as told to me. My cousin was checking on here double-wide, because it was not connected to the grid. She told my aunt that she had a weird feeling, so she stayed in her van. It Literally came out of no where and her youngest daughter started screaming and pulling on her head rest from behind her and said "It's going to get us" There by her trailer she said she saw to yellow eyes peaking around a tree looking at them both, then hiding again. She said that right away she got out of there. They think it was the same creature since her trailer is 1 mile from where we saw the winged creature the first time. It's strange that she saw with me all those years ago, then again 10 years later. M

Strange Daycare

“I remember when i was young I used to go to this daycare that’s outside play area was surrounded by a chain link fence. Though that isn’t exactly strange in itself what was strange about it was attached to the fence was what I can only describe as an L shaped hallway made of fencing that was open at the end but blocked at the part that met the fence. What makes it even stranger was the play area also had a roofed sandbox that if you walked through it the hallway would be open at the fence but blocked at the end and if you walked back through it the hallway would be back to normal. I don’t remember where that daycare was and haven’t been back but my sister who’s a year older than me also remembers the daycare but not the hallway, however she does remember other strange events.” L

'Jeepers Creepers' Winged Humanoid in Northeast Texas

I recently received the following account from northeast Texas:

My friend shot me over to your page and told me to forward a particular story because he recalled something I had told him about from my childhood that has stuck with him for years (I haven’t talked to the guy since high school).

I’m in the 4th grade (15 years ago), at the time I was just starting to get into science type stuff such as, homemade science experiments, studying the planets, etc. One day out of the blue, my parents surprise me with a telescope, so I can get a better look at the moon! Believe me, when I say I was as excited as ever. They help me set it up and I couldn’t run outside any faster. It’s pretty dark and the full moon is as bright as day. I spend several minutes trying to adjust it to the correct positioning and trying to get a crisp image of the moon. Once I finally got everything set up correctly, I was in awe. The moon was so clear and crisp through my telescope I felt as if it was within my grasp. I literally spent minutes simply staring at it through my telescope in wonder.

All of a sudden, as I’m still looking through the telescope, I see something black go across and block the line of sight to the moon. Naturally, I look up confused. The next moment always gives me chills. I saw...well, the closest reference I can give is what looked like a shadow in the sky in the shape a winged humanoid (similar to 'Jeepers Creepers'...the only way I can explain to people). I lived in a neighborhood behind some crop lands and had a two story house at the time so it had to be at least 50-60 ft in the air. It was circling the sky slowly perpendicular to my house like a vulture waiting for its prey to die. Until this day, that is the only time in my life when I physically couldn’t move out of fear/shock.

After about 30 seconds of not being able to move and still seeing this thing circling, I managed to snap myself out of the trance I was in and quickly ran inside like my life depended on it. Of course, I told my parents what happened and they naturally didn’t believe me. Again, like I’m pretty sure a lot of people have said “You’ve been watching too much Jeepers Creepers”. Disappointed, I convinced myself my parents were right. It was all in my head. So the next morning I head to the bus stop for school and have the typical conversations with my friends. There’s 4 of us waiting at the bus stop talking and I can see our last friend making his way over crossing the street to wait with us. I’m looking in the direction the bus is supposed to be coming and it’s nowhere in sight. Then I hear from behind me, from the last friend, “Guys...you’ll never believe what I saw last night.”

“What?!”

“Jeepers Creepers”

“The movie?!”

“No... he was flying above my house”

My other friends started saying he was lying, there’s no way, he's funny, etc.

I slowly turned back towards him and asked if it was around so and so time (the time I saw it) and he said yes. He asked how I knew. I told him I saw it 10 minutes prior to him. We had never talked about it before that moment because we didn’t have phones (Cell phones were barely a thing), and he only lived at the end of the street from me. Naturally we spent the whole bus ride talking about what we saw and felt. It was a HUGE relief to hear that what I saw wasn’t all in my head. Someone (my friend) was able to witness this on a separate occasion literally minutes apart. But, what was a relief, also turned into fear, because I know I saw something out there.

When I saw the stories about the similar sighting and descriptions that you posted, it sent a chill down my spine. I had to put this out there. TS

Bizarre Light Anomaly in Devonshire, UK

I was at Teignmouth and I had my camera set up on a tripod that was facing towards Shaldon. I was taking photographs when I spotted something unusual moving over by the railway. I immediately looked through my binoculars to see what it could be only to be surprised by what I saw. Whatever it was It looked like a translucent octopus that was completely made out of light and at first I thought I was hallucinating as I could not believe what I was seeing... It was just hanging there right above the railway lines. As if this wasn't strange enough already, the octopus light entity had translucent tentacles that flopped around in the air and it gave me the impression that it was some how alive. Could it of been some type of alien life form that was completely made out of light? Whatever it was It was very strange and perplexing. There were people walking along right next to the railway line where the strange light anomaly was hanging and it appeared as though they could not see it. They also seemed totally unaware of it's presents. I was done looking through my binoculars and I just had to get a closer look at this anomalous light entity so I ran around the path approaching it's location and when I got close to it, to my surprise it folded in on itself and then disappeared right in front of me. I was completely gobsmacked... what had I just witnessed. I was sweating profusely and I was out of breath from running, when I asked a couple that walking along if they had seen the translucent light octopus that had been hovering above the railway tracks... Needless to say they just looked at me like I was completely stark raving mad. The man then said "sorry mate we didn't see anything" and then they promptly walked off. Feeling silly I then looked around to see if there was anything else anomalous in the vicinity, but there was not so I began to walk back around to area where I had left my camera setup with some of my belongings. I had to see if I had captured the bizarre anomaly in any of my photographs. Once I got back over to my camera I took it off the tripod and then looked on the LCD screen while I flicked though all of the photographs to see what I had captured. I had indeed captured the bizarre anomaly in four of the photographs and I could see that the light anomaly had originated out from the undergrowth before it had stopped above the railway lines. What on earth could it have been? This sighting was absolutely absurd and I was in two minds whether or not to report it, but I eventually decided to share it. The photographs where taken ‎3:49 PM on the 12th of ‎August ‎2018, at Teignmouth, Devon, England. All the best, John

A Glimpse of the Future

“In 1999, I was heading home from a little market. I saw something shining near a gutter, so I bent over to look at it, touching it. The next thing I realized, a truck was honking at me. I stood up and headed home. A few houses looked familiar to me, but nothing else registered as being anything I was used to seeing on this route home. I saw construction taking place all over the neighborhood, even the colors of the new buildings. Imagine my surprise when I returned home in 2018, to find that same construction in progress; down to the colors of the new buildings.” SG

From Walmart to the Waffle House

“Something weird happened to my fiance. He was walking up a main highway in our town. He noted that he was mostly looking at the ground as he was walking. He states he looks up and notices Walmart on his left as he's going up this Hill. Then a few moments later, he looks up again and he now has a waffle house on his left. Same side of the highway except now with waffle house on his left Walmart is behind him and on his right. Weird.” CN

What Attacked Me?

This occurred approximately 3 years ago and it still haunts me on a regular basis to this day. I thought perhaps I was alone in this encounter, but recently saw a story about BEK while surfing the web and thought that this may had been a similar experience.

My encounter happen in late June in the middle of the night shortly after I had fallen asleep. I had spent the day earlier gardening and had sprayed around the house to control mosquitoes that day, which I thought might have caused me to hallucinate this experience. I also lived alone at the time.

Anyway, I went to bed and at some point was woken up by the sound of children giggling and playing outside my house in the middle of the night. I lived in a one story rancher and could hear them playing and tapping on the windows in the front of the house. I peeked out the blinds to see these kids and they appeared to be three Asian kids under the age of ten. I don't remember what the boy was wearing but the girls were in black dresses like they had come from some event. They had ear length jet black hair with bangs. I was in my pajamas so decided to ignore them and pretend they were not there; hoping they would realize they are in the wrong place and go away. Then they started knocking on the door, persistently. I figured they must have seen me and were not going to go away, so I answered the door. The three kids were there and an adult facing away on the sidewalk. They insisted that they lived at my house and that they needed to come in. I told them that they had the wrong house. Then they asked if I knew some person and said they were coming to meet him and again insisted that they come in. Again I replied that they must be confused, that it was just me here and I don't know them and they don't belong in my house. There are many Asian families in my neighbor so I thought they might be arriving in town late to visit someone and have the wrong address.

I then shut the door. Again there was a knock. I opened it an this time it was the adult standing in front of the kids. At this point I must have noticed the eyes because I become extremely terrified. There were also a few additional "family" members now gathered on the sidewalk to my house. He looked to me like a Chinese/Japanese older man with a thin long mustache and wore sunglasses (at night) and a black suit. Again he said that they lived there and were meeting someone else and insisted that I let them in because they had traveled a long way. At this point something clicked in my brain, and I starred back at the man and very firmly told him I knew who he was, and that he did not belong here and went to shut the door.

At the instant that I said this, this man showed his true form, which was that of some sort of demon on beast. He/It screamed or roared in my face grabbed me by the neck and pinned me up against the wall, enough to knock the wind out of me.

I wish I could give a better description of what it looked like, but the second I saw it change, I closed my eyes and began to pray as hard as I could and focus only on the praying and block out this thing that had pinned me against the wall. It was the only think I could do, because I was sure it was going to kill me at that moment. Not sure what happened next, but I woke up in the morning in my bed; however, my neck was stiff like I had whiplash for days and my front door was ajar.

Every single night after this incident I could not go to bed with out putting a chair with a twenty pound weight on it in front of the door. I also had to push the recliner in front of the patio door. Luckily, I moved from that place earlier this year.

I have not had an encounter since this experience. The vivid experience was a one time event. Prior to this I had classic reoccurring sleep paralysis with feelings of evil spirits being in the room and pressing on my chest, but never anything like what was at my door. After this encounter thought I haven't had nightmares/sleep paralysis like I had had in the past.

I have a feeling that maybe they had been scoping me out before actually visiting and making a move, but were confronted and rejected and so have not come back. MD

Couple Encounters Upright 'Hyena' Near Baton Rouge, Louisiana

Mid-1970s – Baton Rouge, Louisiana: One of the Paranormal Round Table hosts discussed a case that involved personal family members. This case sparked his interest in the paranormal and, more specifically, in cryptids. His grandfather, a man named JD, a truck driver, and his grandmother, Sophie, were driving near Baton Rouge, Louisiana when they observed something come out the woods and move towards the road on all fours. As they approached it, the creature, which they described as looking like a hyena, stood up on two legs. The back legs were short while the upper part of its body was bulky. The grandmother thought it was “the weirdest thing.” The host spoke to her in 2005 before she passed, and he noted that her story never changed. The grandfather, not prone to believe in the paranormal, also told him about another strange encounter he had near Marfa, Texas. He claims to have seen bipedal coyote-like creatures (coyote people?) wandering around a small canyon area. Sadly, the host did not elaborate on this encounter.

No Date – Alexandria, West Virginia: A truck driver hauling a load near Alexandria, West Virginia claims that he was attempting to avoid a pothole when he accidentally veered off the road into some bushes. He managed to get back on the road but, as he did so, he observed something “weasel-like” pop its head out from the bush. It then jumped back, on two legs, and ran off. It looked to him like a giant weasel but with a hyena face. It had claws/hands and short stubby legs.

During My Drive Home

“I work about 50 minutes from my home. I used to get off at 2:10 AM every morning. Set my cruise at 70 mph which was the speed limit. Every morning I'd stop at the same gas station on the interstate to get smokes so I'd usually get home about 60 minutes after I left work. There have been several times where I left work at the same time, set my cruise control just like always, stopped at the gas station as usual to get smokes. Got home and my mother was there because she was watching TV or doing laundry at my house and she is like did you come home early and I was like no why? She said look at the time and I checked the time and it was 2:30 AM. And as I stated this has happened several times give or take 5 minutes. I have no way to explain how I made it home in 20 minutes even with stopping at the gas station and doing the same speed.” SF

Flying Humanoid Observed in Austin, Texas

I recently found the following account:

A couple of months back me and one of my older cousins were standing outside of my house. He was having a cigarette, I'm not a smoker but was always reluctantly called outside every smoke break. It was about 9 pm and being 4 cigarette breaks in we'd pretty much ran out of things to talk about. I opted for just looking into the night sky and gazing for the big dipper it being the only star I could typically spot right away. As I'm looking up I notice a dark silhouette literally about 10 ft. from the top of my house. I live in a two story home so 10 ft from my roof is pretty high up but yet still close enough for me to still see. I could vividly see that it was the shape of a person flying from above my home and over across the street and out of sight. It moved smoothly across the sky not to fast, just at a glide. I stared in disbelief unable to speak. Long after it vanished behind my neighbors home I still looked in its direction trying to understand what just happened. When I finally was able to gather my thoughts enough to talk I turned to my cousin who was also looking into the sky and said "Lets go inside".

He put out his cigarette and we both walked into the house and sat in silence for about 5 minutes. The silence was broken by the sound of my cousin taking in a deep breath before asking me "Did you see something flying outside". Before he could finish I burst out into rapid sentences about what I saw. Before I knew it we were both going back and forward barely letting either get a word out. We decided that what we saw was real and it really did happen. That's not the most terrifying part though. A few weeks later after my mind had finally calmed down a little I stumbled across TV show on Destination America entitled "Monsters and Mysteries", I believe. The second episode I watched turned out to be based on sightings in Austin, TX. I couldn't believe it, the episode was about flying humanoids being spotted in here in the city. It confirmed for me that what I saw was actually real and I hadn't been one of the only ones who's spotted it. Rather you believe me or not do some research or laugh it up and accuse me of being on drugs or watching to much 'Jeepers Creepers.' I honestly don't care if you believe me or not. I still look to the sky on most nights. I know their still out there. ZL

NOTE: I have received a lot of winged humanoid sightingS from many parts of Texas, including the Austin area. Lon

'I encountered...myself?'

“In the late 1970s I lived in Ottawa, Ontario and rode a red 1969 Rocket 3 BSA motorcycle. They were all red, so that part doesn't matter; I've only seen the slime green version in books. The 1969 / 70 Rocket 3s are as ugly as sin with a 'shoe box' gas tank and unmistakable gaudy mufflers nicknamed 'Flash Gordons'. They're high maintenance, expensive and, even then very, very rare. But they're a great bike and I wouldn't trade mine for the world. Back then I used to race it a bit and removed the (fairly) high stock handlebars so I could use flatbars instead and fitted bar-end mirrors on both sides. Bar-ends were also fairly rare and I had to buy mine mail-order from Toronto. As full face helmets were just coming in and not popular, most riders still rode with an open-faced brain bucket, not a white Honda line, like myself. I also wore -- and this was habitual to me at the time -- a Canadian Army surplus khaki green bush jacket; and although there were plenty of 'genuine' motorcycle gloves available, I used cheap tan leather work gloves, known as 'ropers'. I was pretty distinctive, by anyone's standards. Just before dusk in mid-summer, I was riding west through the city on Hwy 417, locally known as the Queensway and looked across into the east-bound lane. There was another motorcyclist there, he road a 1969 or 70 BSA Rocket 3 with flatbars, bar-end mirrors, stock tank and exhaust system, wearing a white full face helmet, army bush jacket and ropers. I'm not saying anything, one way or the other, I'm just asking. What are the odds?” RS

I Passed Myself

“I had a glitch at age 7, I saw a familiar looking older girl, pushing a large twin pushchair. I was pushing a single pushchair with my two younger siblings at either side. As she approached, I moved out of the way to let her pass and then as she passed. I looked back only to see she had simply vanished. Two years later, I was walking down that street and as I reached that same spot, suddenly realized I'd seen myself two years ago, I was pushing the same twin pushchair. I often wondered how it could happen - 'glitch' explains it perfectly.” DM

Another 'Me' Stayed After I Moved

“I was born in Brooklyn, New York but most of my life was spent elsewhere in other states. I moved back to Brooklyn as an adult, and then shortly became insecure and anorexic. Then I started going out a lot. I was new to New York, but I ran into people I've never seen before who told me they knew me. I told these people that they're mistaking me for someone else, and they would get mad because they thought I was being an A-hole. I started asking people where they knew me from, and they would tell me a story about where we met, or where I worked, and also they knew my boyfriend, and I was baffled because whoever these people thought I was, well, we must really look exactly alike because I couldn't convince these people I wasn't who they thought I was.” FF

Shapeshifting Entity in Northeast Pennsylvania

The following account was recently forwarded to me:

My grandparents have a cabin in a town in Pennsylvania, south of Scranton. Every summer we usually go up for a few weeks as a family event; ever since I was little. A few years ago we decided to go up in the winter because my family wanted to go skiing at some point.

After we got there, the weird things started happening really quickly, and seemingly out of nowhere. The house was built in the 1920's, old brick and wood home. The doors are these giant almost church looking doors, and the style of the home is very medieval, definitely adding to the creepy vibes of the home.

The first night was seemingly calm through the house, but whenever I went there I always felt there was something there, or something lurking through the halls. The first night I got up to go to the bathroom at around 3:10 am; (which is also interesting because I never get up to go to the bathroom back at home, most nights I sleep right through without waking up). There were 8 of us in the house, my 2 parents, my grandparents, my aunt and uncle, and my 2 male cousins. I went to one of the 3 main bathrooms (4 in the house if you count the master). So when I heard someone in there I thought that was interesting, because I was one of the few people who doesn't share the bathroom. But I stood outside waiting to make sure I did not intrude on anything going on in there, as my one cousin has IBS and I didn't want to bother him. What was extremely weird is the fact that whatever was in there didn't sound human in its movements; it seemed to drag its feet around, which made me nervous that he may be sick. I called out his name a few times, "Drew, are you okay in there?? It's been a long time and I want to go to bed." or something along those lines.

A few seconds later he comes out of his bedroom and tells me why I'm making so much noise and he's trying to sleep and slams his door behind him. Before I could freak out he had already shut the door and I was too scared to even yell back to him. I never realized before that the door wasn't even locked in the first place, which made me feel even more uneasy. Between the banter I never realized the sounds stopped, and it seemed like nobody was even in the bathroom anymore. I still even tell myself this was just my imagination going wild, but I'm not known for sleepwalking or having any type of sleep disorder. I decided to just open the door brushing it off as my too vivid imagination. When I opened the door it really looked like nothing strange had happened in there. But when I was washing my hands I realized the window was open, and I froze thinking someone had broken into the house. But this was on the second story, with nothing to climb up on; making it almost impossible to climb up there.

The next day nothing happened in the daytime, making it seem more to me that it was just a figment of my imagination than reality. But that night I had to let my dog out, she is elderly and never really barks much. Nor does she run fast, so this definitely is a case for concern, I thought. When I let her out, she bolted to the edge of the woods and vanished inside them. I tried to follow her barking but honestly I was to scared to go into the woods past the treeline. When I finally got her to walk back, her back legs seemed off, almost like a person pretending to be a dog walking on the ground. Her eyes were also off, they looked human-like, not her usual dark almond eyes. I freaked out and ran back inside without her. When I got inside she was sitting panting by the door, so she must have ran back in when I was yelling into the woods to try to find her. At this point I didn't even want to leave that house, for fear of what was lurking in the woods.

The last night we stayed there was the most interesting and confusing turn of events that had happened. We all had skied all day so we went to bed quite early, around 9-10. I never fall asleep early, as I am usually a night owl. But I woke up around 12 am to sounds of my cousin Drew yelling outside. I woke up in a fog and tried to quickly rush to the door and open it. I didn't even take into consideration that the door was still locked from the inside. When I got outside, his voice seemed to be coming from multiple directions, and echoing through the valley. I saw him by the cars yelling, and when I started to go outside and call out his name, he looked at me quickly. His eyes got huge and he ran into the woods, with a beckoning gesture for me to follow. I decided that was definitely a bad idea, so I woke up his parents and he ended up being asleep in his room the whole time.

Not now until years later did I even find out about skinwalkers from one of my native american friends I met in college. I still have no idea what was out there that weekend, and I haven't been back since. CR

NOTE: the witness seems to believe that this was a skinwalker. I'm fairly positive that there was another shapeshifting energy or entity involved. Your thoughts? Lon

White-Eyed Kid: 'Take me with you!'

I was in a 24 hour shopping center car park waiting for a friend who works there at around 10 PM. Suddenly a kid pops out of window screen and starts tapping. I'm thinking 'Where the hell did he come from?' and 'Is he trying to rob me?'. Anyway I roll the window down only partially and remember that my doors are locked so I feel a little bit safer. I ask the kid 'What do you want?' 'Sir I'm lost, can you take me home?' I ask 'Where are your parents' as it was late at night and there was no one else visible on the same floor I was waiting on. This was starting to feel off. 'I'm lost and just want to go home' he replied.

This was definitely weird. I looked at him again. Then I did a double take. Holy sh*t! His eyes were white. Not just white around the edges but unending white through the entire eye, no iris and no pupil just a solid wall of light. I really don't why but I felt myself smiling slightly as I gazed him. Then my thoughts began to collect again. It must've been about 3 seconds. 'Uh sorry. No kid I have to go' I immediately regretted replying. 'But you have to take me', the kid replied. I don't know how but I could feel his voice more than hear it. His words began echoing in my mind longer than it should have. 'Uh no kid I have to go.' I started panicking. The kid replied again this time with something indescribable behind his voice. 'I'm lost and just want to go home'. I don't know how but at this point it was as if someone had put the kids voice on a loudspeaker and as he spoke I felt as though a booming was resonating from within the kid. The force of the kids voice was so strong. I felt strongly sympathetic to the kid, almost like I was being forced to by him. Anyway with the last ounce of control I had left I turned the car on and slammed on the accelerator. The kid immediately shouted out 'No take me with you!' At this point it was though the kids voice was a machine gun firing into me. I immediately sped to the nearest exit in a dream like state and drove into the night. My friend at this point could find his own way back to his house (which he did later). While driving and exiting from the car park I could still feel his voice within me resonating at an amplified volume. The force of his voice, it was as if I had been picked up and violently shaken by the kid whose voice was so clear, and my unconscious was analyzing every nuance and inflection of what he had said, like I was being forced to. There was so much force behind it.

Anyway after I got back to my apartment I immediately tried to forget the whole thing. The next day I drive to work in the normal manner, and my friend was there resentful that I had left but we soon went back to good terms. I never did tell him or anyone else about the incidence. The strangest thing did happen however, on that same day. When I was driving back from work back to my apartment there was a tremendous thunderstorm and I noticed flashes (although I didn't see it) of lightning. When I was at my apartment building (I live in a complex) I open a huge metal door to get in and it was soaking wet. There was a hand print on it. I only noticed when I looked down to pull on the handle at about the same height a small child would place their hands. The hand print was white and although the whole door was dripping with water the hand print seemed to made of recently dried paint. I touched it looked up and felt it in my hand just to make sure it was paint. It was. I looked down again. The hand print within the 2 second span of me sampling it and looking up had gone from white to clear; from the rain dripping on the door. I touched it again and felt it. It was paint but now completely soaked with water and far more fluid than it was before indicating it was being soaked. I looked down again. It had vanished. I put my hand on where the paint had been, but it was nothing but a metal door behind it. For some reason I looked behind me. Of course there was no one there. I went inside and made my way up to my apartment and had an early night. I have not encountered any white eyed kids since or any being of (supernatural?) type for that matter. However I now live a slightly more cautious life than before. I have become more religious now and now occasionally read the bible when I didn't really believe in God before. Maybe I'll go to church. I don't know. The fact is these creatures might actually exist and are waiting for the right opportunity to strike. Anonymous

I Felt Like Something Bad Was Going to Happen

“I've been through something similar. My husband passed away in 2014 in Georgia. In May of 2017, I was in (of all places) a Walmart in Carson City, Nevada. I had begun feeling sick and rushed into the restroom. After about 10 minutes, I felt better, having used the facilities and rinsed my face. As I was leaving the bathroom, I noticed my husband sitting on the bench next to the bathroom with a worried look on his face. Seeing him sitting there, I was instantly stunned as he had been gone for 3 years! Yet, here he was, wearing his red wing shoes, favorite jeans with the drumstick loops on them (I had stitched them there myself because he was always hurting his fingers if he didn't have a set of sticks with him) and the same Metallica hoodie with his name (Richard) embroidered on the sleeve! I can tell you right now that I was the closest I've ever been to passing out and I felt locked in place, like I had been embedded into a block of glass! I could see every detail of Richard but I couldn't hear anything and everything else around us seemed fuzzy. When he stood up from the bench, I found my feet and ran back into that bathroom in a hurry! For some reason, I felt that if I let him any closer or if the rest of everything came into focus, something VERY bad was going to happen. When I finally gathered up the courage to leave the bathroom again, everything had gone back to normal. No Richard, no bench. Just a normal, noisy Walmart with everything clearly in focus. I've been a little afraid of Walmart restrooms since then.” JW

Old Black-Eyed Man in the Neighborhood

I work in a factory during the graveyard shift from 10 pm to 6:30 am. This night I was actually working my 6th day in a row for overtime. I have had this job for a while now and I am used to this kind of schedule. I am bringing this up because typically after I get home I am still wide awake and tend to sleep later in the day. I was totally alert when this happened.

I ended up leaving work early since I completed a lot more orders than usual and I was on my way home around 4:30 am. I turned down the side street that leads to my apartment complex and I immediately notice it is quite dark as the streetlights are not illuminated. The suburb I live around uses streetlights that have sensors so they light up when people walk by them and turn off by themselves to save energy. As I noticed it was dark I decided to turn on my brights on my car. I am only 6 blocks away from home at this point and I come around a small bend in the road that leads up to a children's park and the only stop sign on this street between my apartment which is a few blocks further. I notice something in the middle of the road. My first thought was it was some stacked garbage that maybe blew off of the curb into the street, but as I drove closer I slowed down as I realized it was a person walking down the street with their back to me. It seemed like an old person, a very old person actually by the way they were walking. I slowed down a lot because it was very odd I didn't know if they were going to jump in front of my car or what since there are well maintained sidewalks less than 10 feet for them to use. The next thing I notice is the clothing. The person was walking slowly, almost waddling, and was wearing a hooded jacket with the hood up and their hands inside the front pouch, sweat pants, and soaking wet slippers (due to the light rain) without socks. This person was about 3 car lengths away from the stop sign and I was close now getting ready to stop and ask if they needed help or something. As soon as I was just about right behind him (adjacent) this person which I then saw was an old man with wrinkly and very pale skin, whipped around insanely fast and stared at me. My brights were still on and I could see how pale his skin was and then I saw the pitch back eyes. No whites in his eyes just black. I was immediately filled with terror and almost froze up, but I floored it and sped the last few blocks to my apartment, parked, and sprinted inside locking all my doors, and windows.

The next day I realized that none of the street lights were illuminated on my whole street when this happened even though it was within distance to trigger the sensors. I couldn't sleep at all that night. This happened April 2017. AF

Bus Stop Doppelganger

“I remember having an odd experience back in January of 2013. It was during the morning time at 8:00 AM while I was waiting for my mom at the bus stop. She called me to meet her at the bus stop that's why I walked there. That particular morning my mom took my sister to middle school at the time. It was over fifteen minutes of me waiting at the bus stop. Then I seen someone that looked exactly like one of my former high school classmates. I saw the person walked up to the bench. It was definitely a doppelganger not look alike. The only difference was height. This person sat next to me on the bench. He didn't say a word just looked at me. I was looking the opposite way towards the road. When the bus approached he got up and walked off. My mom had gotten off the bus. I walked away with my Mom after the bus arrived and left. I looked back and he looked back. Then I looked a split second later the person was gone. How could someone disappeared like that out of thin air. I told my Mom and sisters about it. They didn't seem to believe that I seen such a doppelganger. I've read if you see a doppelganger that meant something bad will happen.” BG

Intervention by 'Young People in White'

“September 11, 2018 I was in Hospice at St Francis Hospital with spinal meningitis; 108 degree fever, acquired from a suspected air conditioning vent. After an 11 hour back surgery to take out my L5 and 6, which was broken in half and pieces of bone floating through my spinal cord. I suffered a heart attack and saw with my eyes open several young people in white helping me. I saw them all with my eyes wide open and noted the clock go from 6:00 PM to 6:00 AM. I asked my nurse, who came in with her blue issued work scrubs, who were the people in white and she said she never seen anyone in white or in my room, at anytime. I left the hospice after 2 months, after my X-Ray MRI revealed my L5 and 6 miraculously had been replaced by an hour-glass cartilage and my fever was gone. I was studied for a year by several doctors and specialist and as far it was explained to me that the extreme high fever I had for months had possibly stimulated the cartilage growth formulating an hourglass spine, and the conclusion was only the hand of God could have knitted me back perfectly back to full health.” EC
