ET Encounters in the United Kingdom - Part III

ET Encounters in the United Kingdom, Part III

By Dr. Raymond A. Keller, a.k.a. “Cosmic Ray,” author of the international, awards-winning Venus Rising series of books, available on amazon.com, while supplies last

Tales of the “Wee Folk” Abound

Long before little green men from Mars ever showed up in the British Isles, there were countless tales of the fairies, or pixies, that had been passed down through the ages. Some theologians of Medieval times speculated that the fairies in their midst were Druids being punished with a small stature for their refusal to be converted to the Christian faith. Others assumed that they were descended from the Picts, a people hailing from eastern and northern Scotland who were allegedly steeped in the occult and supposedly engaged in improper relations with demons. It wasn’t until the modern era of ufology that anyone gave any thought to the possibility that these “wee folk” might be a type of extraterrestrial or ultra-dimensional visitor.

The fairies and pixies abound in the art and folktales of all peoples scattered throughout the British Isles. Keen mythologists who study reports of the wee folk have noted some differences between the so-called fairies and pixies. From the plethora of available reports, it appears as though the pixies exhibit a proclivity to joyously prance around in the buff. Most of the pixies are wingless. However, those that have been observed in flight, fluttering their wings like butterflies, have flung their pixie dust down on their admirers below. The pixies are quite fond of human beings and physically appear very human in their features. The pixies tend toward rewarding those who demonstrate thoughtfulness or perform acts of kindness. On the other hand, they are quick to scold those manifesting ill will toward fellow humans, or even disrespecting animals or insects. Pixies have sometimes been held responsible for the abduction of babies or little children. But to their credit, the babies or children are usually brought back the next day, unharmed.

The fairies are more enigmatic than the pixies. Peoples of the British Isles believed that the fairies were more metaphysical, preternatural or supernatural beings due to their manifesting the ability to shape shift. The fairies usually take on an attractive human form; although some appear in more repulsive forms, such as trolls. In many instances, the fairies have assumed the form of a family member, usually a baby, child or elder person in order to win the trust of a percipient. Of the fairies, it has also been recognized from the earliest folk tales that at times they have taken on the appearance of tall, fair and alluring Nordics. The most popular identification of fairies, however, rests in the image of small, sprite-like creatures that originally could fly without visible wings. They were believed to accomplish this feat by magic. Wings were not considered a common trait of the fairies in the older accounts. During the Victorian Era, fairies became more romanticized, so to speak, and were described as possessing beautiful wings like those of butterflies or dragonflies.


The “Cottingley Fairies” appeared in a series of five photographs taken by Elsie Wright (1901–1988) and Frances Griffiths (1907–1986), two young cousins who lived in Cottingley, near Bradford in England. The photograph above was the first in the series, depicting the then younger Frances at age 9 and snapped by the older cousin Elsie. The pictures came to the attention of the great spiritualist writer Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, who used them to illustrate an article on fairies he had been commissioned to write for the Christmas 1920 edition of Strand Magazine.

The Fencehouses Occupant Encounter

One has to wonder if many of the accounts of fairies and pixies throughout the United Kingdom might have been misinterpretations of extraterrestrial visitations. The following encounter occurred on 3 September 1976 at 9 p.m., when a 63-year old woman that we shall refer to as Mrs. A, was walking past a waste dump with her 18-year old granddaughter, that we shall hence acknowledge as Miss B, in the little village of Fencehouses in the County Durham, England. Since the time of the incident, the area has been cleaned up and leveled for construction. However, it is still peppered with disused but cordoned-off mine shafts. The case was initially investigated by Northern UFO Network (NUFON) researcher John Rouse.

As the two were returning home to Fencehouses after a visit with relatives, they passed the dump as they had done on countless other occasions. But this time they saw a strange object on a mound of dirt. It was very small and irregular in shape; so it was difficult for the grandmother and her granddaughter to provide an estimate of its size. Mrs. A guessed that the object might have been about 5 feet in length and perhaps some 3 to 3 and ½ feet in height. It was roughly oval in shape and had a large, glass-like compartment in its center. The object also had a bright orange dome on top. It was resting on sled-like runners. These were seemingly composed of chrome or steel.

The witnesses stated that they were not afraid and were somewhat attracted to the object, almost in a “hypnotic fashion.” As the two approached the object, both were overcome by an odd effect. There had been a moderate wind and scattered clouds in the twilight sky; but all of a sudden, the wind stopped. The trees seemed to stop swaying and all of the traffic that was on the road had just disappeared. Even the grandmother’s watch had stopped ticking at this point; although it did resume working normally afterwards. Rouse noted that, “It was almost as if they were suspended in time.”

With Mrs. A right up to the craft, she was able to run her hand along the side of it. She noted that it was very smooth and glass-like. It even felt warm and pleasing to the touch. Suddenly, two entities appeared by the side of the object. They were the size of dolls, each being about 1 foot tall. “Basically,” informs Rouse, “they were humanoid in shape with long, white hair parted down the middle. They had large eyes and claw-like fingers. They appeared to be frightened by the witnesses and put both hands up to their faces.”

At this point, the witnesses became somewhat confused and disoriented, particularly as to time. There was a missing half-hour in which they could not remember what happened to themselves or to the mysterious beings. All that Mrs. A and Miss B could remember was being startled by the object taking off, at great speed, and making a sort of buzzing noise, like you would hear in the vicinity of a beehive.

Aftereffects

On the following day, as Mrs. A was attempting to plug in a vacuum cleaner in her home, she discovered that she could not insert it into the socket. Rouse comments that, “It was as if some force were pushing her hands back.” Keep in mind, dear readers, that she had touched the object. Well, in the end, her daughter had to come over and put the plug in the socket for her.

Rouse believed that the case was genuine and called for samples of soil and vegetation analysis from the site by qualified representatives of NUFON. Nothing conclusive was found.

While Mrs. A and Miss B were not distressed during the incident, they were extremely so in the days that followed. Remember that during the event, they felt calm, as if they were in a state of hypnosis. The witnesses said that they felt good about getting this whole episode off their chests by talking with the NUFON investigator John Rouse. Nevertheless, neither of them desired any publicity about their encounter. Rouse reasoned that, “She is very worried about the consequences of the press getting hold of the story.”

Rouse noted a similarity with the case of Mrs. Lainchbury as reported in the Flying Saucer Review, Volume 22, Number 3, October 1976 issue. In this incident, the witness claimed visits from similar, small-statured entities from an extraterrestrial base on Pluto. Throughout most of the encounter, Mrs. Lainchbury found herself in a trance-like situation; and subsequently acted in a very similar manner to Mrs. A of Fencehouses. Also being in her mid-60s, Mrs. Lainchbury decided that she had said enough about the matter and asked the UFO investigators to just drop the whole matter, which they did.

Conclusions

One cannot help but note the similarities in all three of the UFO cases from the United Kingdom that we have explored in this series. It was clear that all of these incidents exhibited a high degree of subjectivity insofar as there was no trace of the object in question, almost as if it had never even been there. There was something “unreal” about all of these encounters, even to the point of classifying them as “psychic” in nature. However, just because they are subjective does not mean that they should be ignored. I have to agree with John Rouse’s assessment that, “There is the possibility that whatever causes the UFO phenomenon has the ability to make us see just what it wants us to see – or what we want to see.” He adds that, “The trance-like condition of time suspension is another familiar aspect of close encounters, although the extreme small size of the entities in the Fencehouses incident is most unusual – but not unprecedented.”

Attempts to solicit more information from the 18-year old girl proved futile. She refused to say anything more about the spritely alien visitors.

A recent review of 'Alien Disclosure: Experiencers Expose Reality': "I've read more than a few books on aliens, reptilians, and MIBs, and the author has managed to relay some of the most intriguing ones I've read. The book resonates in a manner as strange as the subject. I felt shaken hours after finishing the book.

Possible Aggressive Bigfoot in Armstrong County, PA

I was fishing at Cadogan on the Allegheny River in western Pennsylvania. I parked at the top of the ramp going down to the river. It's not a boat ramp, just one for backing 4-wheel drives down to the water. It's getting to be just about twilight when I hear something moving down the hillside across from us. It's steep, but not too steep. I hear it barreling down the hillside but the brush is thick and really high. Better part of 12 feet. I'm waiting for a black bear to hop onto the road but it doesn't. It just stops in the middle of the last brush right beside the road.

Thinking it was still a bear I usher my friend and his 4-year-old daughter down to the river. There are a bunch of rocks there, a variety of sizes. I'm still at my car, less than 5 ft from my door and this brush is a good 30 ft away. So I know I can make it to my car and distract it with my horn and engine. And yet it never leaves the brush. Just shakes it violently. I stand there about 5 minutes and I can see it make its way up the hill. I didn't realize it was pushing the small trees around it. I wasn't connecting anything because of my adrenaline was high. I never saw it and it was too dark by that point.

I walk back down to the river and we're gathering up our stuff. It's getting way too creepy. We're packing up and I can hear a knocking sound coming from the hillside. I can see a group of people down river from us, but they aren't near any trees. They're actually on an outcrop and about 20 ft away from the treeline. This knocking is above us and slightly upriver. And even they had reacted to it, looking around and not knowing what's making the sound. I yell to them about possibly being a bear. They said they heard something coming down the hillside and seen my buddy running towards the water. They thanked us for the heads up.

As soon as they thanked us a rock came flying off the hillside in between us and them. We actually saw the rock hit the water. They jumped as I did. We really weren't expecting it. I turned around to see if my friend was up on the hill and was messing with us. As I turned he was just a few feet behind me holding his daughter and both were white as a ghost.

I decided to reach down and grab a rock to carry with me just in case it got real. 3 more times we heard these rocks hitting the water and I just had enough. Our site was all cleaned up and I took it as a perfect time to retaliate (not my best decision). But I knew where they were being thrown from. That damn brush up there. So I chucked it.

I knew there wasn't any trees around and I figured if I threw it it would probably just blow right through it. BUT IT DIDN'T!

It made a sound like someone who is beating their chest. And it rolled back out towards me. I actually heard whatever I hit the get the wind knocked out of it and it hit the hillside. It takes off down the road towards the other group. They start screaming...utter terror screams and start throwing whatever they could grab at it. I'm just standing there bewildered and watching them scatter. Few of them went into the water and the rest ran towards me.

All of a sudden someone yells 'GET IN THE TRUCK!' They took off to their truck. They literally left everything...nobody grabbed anything and they took off. I'll never forget their screams. I ran back up the hill and hopped in my car. My buddy ran up with his daughter right after they started shouting. He was crying and I've known this man for 20 years. I can count on one hand how many times I have seen him cry. I startup my car and we high-tailed it out of there.

Never seen what it was but I put everything together later that night. It's been 5 years since it happened and he absolutely refuses to go down there. Damn shame too because it's an amazing catfish spot. R

NOTE: Interesting account, because I received a Bigfoot report around that same North Buffalo area about a decade ago. There have been a few reports of Bigfoot observed wading and grabbing fish in the Allegheny River in nearby Ford City and Kittanning, which is about 25 miles northeast of Pittsburgh. Lon

Bizarre Restaurant / Cafeteria 'Time Slips'

Bobbi from Nashville called to tell of a weird experience she had:

“Three years ago (2016), my husband called me and asked me to run over and get him lunch at one of his favorite places because he couldn't get off lunch to go get it. I went over there, the place, the building, was empty. Absolutely empty. I thought, Maybe I'm at the wrong place. I drove down the road a little bit. It's not there. Came back and, from what I knew, the building, it was supposed to be there. It was empty. I drove down the other way. I did that five times. The sixth time, I pulled in that parking lot and there it was. Now you tell me what happened.”

Source: Fade to Black with Jimmy Church – July 19, 2019

“I had a bizarre experience in middle school but never told anyone about it now. I didn’t think anything of until it hit me again and it reminded of that moment. I had my lunch with me on my Styrofoam tray when I was just about ready to throw it away in the trash can when all of a sudden I felt out of touch with reality. I couldn’t explain it but it felt like everything was wrong but I didn’t know why. There was a few students left in the cafeteria besides me waiting until the last minute to go to class and knowing that I threw the rest of my lunch away with that in mind. When I dumped it in the trash and left it inside I turned around and I saw my entire classroom lined up at the doorway out of nowhere in a single file while some were talking to each other while others just stood there. I was so to taken aback that it didn’t fully register to me that they had already all left and this shouldn’t be happening to me. I was getting ready to be the last one in line when all of a sudden they all walked forward in line as is someone pressed the fast forward button on the VHS player without all the static lines you see when fast forwarding the tape. I ran after them not knowing what to think and thought nothing of it. When I got to the hallway, everyone was already gone and when I got to class everyone was already inside. Them being inside already wasn’t what disturbed me but seeing them in line in the first place even after knowing but not realizing what is happening is what disturbed me.” BR

Whatever It Is, It Follows Us!

Let me start off with my first encounter with this being. My friend and I were on my way back to my house, when I turned down my road that I live on. A few feet down the road, (which I actually ended up getting stuck in the snow in that EXACT spot twice about a year after this) we both see a pair of eyes. Orange-ish, yellow eyes. Living in Indiana covered with cornfields in both directions as far as you can see, I think it’s an animal and I start to slow down. The eyes aren’t moving, like normal animal eyes do. They usually scurry away...or at least turn and disappear into the cornfield. Now, the closer I got I can’t describe how I could see the details of it because it was so... dark. Like it completely lacked all light. My headlights weren’t illuminating the being AT ALL. But basically, it looked like a crouched/perched skeleton. It was completely bones, but somehow still huge. At this point, we’re pretty close, so I speed up a little thinking some 'Jeepers Creepers' sh*t is about to happen and take off with my car. As we passed the being, staring directly into the eyes to see what it was, it disappeared. Like a piece of paper. I was looking at him like, “you saw that sh*t too right?” and everytime we talk about it...it’ll come up. Which, I’ll share each one of those stories here.

This experience was about a week later. The next time I saw this entity, I was near my road. About 5 miles from my house. Same orange eyes. It was walking across the road from right to left, towards someone’s yard. And when I say walking, I mean on all fours. It was completely black and huge this time. It had a tail that was probably at least 3 feet long. As it was passing from the right side of the road to the left, it stopped in the middle of the road. Mind you, I’m driving straight for this thing. 60 miles an hour. I slow down and it stopped on the yellow line in the middle of the road, and turned at looked at me and my boyfriend in the car. I’m about 20 feet away, so I’m slowing way down so it doesn’t completely destroy my car. It just turned and kept walking. But the thing was so damn huge that it GLIDED through the yard. When we passed the house, the dog thing was nowhere in sight. This house had a security light and was well-lit outside. No sign of this thing anywhere.

Next time it was seen, was by my boyfriend. This was about 2-3 weeks after initial incident. He was outside smoking a cigarette on my cabin porch. It’s just a cabin we used to store our pool stuff in. He sees the entity, standing this time. At the exact edge of my property, taller than the corn that it’s standing next to. It was about the end of August, so the corn is very tall. It stood there, the same orange eyes. Watching my boyfriend run into the house.

Next incident was recently. These occurrences happened back in 2017. I never posted about these because talking about it brings it back. Every time I told this story, it would come back. It knew. It knew I was telling people about it, almost as if talking about it gave it some sort o power, or more energy? I don’t know. So, this next incident wasn’t me. I only had the two initial occurrences. I got a call from my friend the other night, (the same friend that seen it with me in the first story) and he was frantic. he said, “Kat, I saw it again. I saw it.” I immediately knew what he was talking about and I asked him where and what happened. He told me he was driving a back way home because of construction on the main highway. So as he’s driving, this black tall figure glides across the road and he’s watching it move and as it gets to the corn it disintegrates and turns into smoke and travels into the cornfield. He watched the smoke dart through the cornfield.

So can someone tell me I’m not a psycho and this might have a name?? I haven’t seen the entity since 2017. I don’t want to ever again because the overwhelming feeling of just domination and the devil. I’m not religious by any mean. This thing reminds me of something I saw when I did the Ouija board too many times in high school. It starts with a Z. I saw him standing at the foot of my bed and a few other places in my house but it gives me a feeling of just pure dread and death. Everything negative. I’m not sure if they’re correlated or not, I doubt it honestly but the feelings are the same. KT

Eyewitness 'Stickman' Encounters

“I didn't know this was a thing. I have a story about seeing a stick figure when I was about 4 (in 2010). It was night and I was asleep on the couch (I did have a room. I just didn't want to sleep in there because I had an uneasy feeling about being in the room and I was still afraid of sleeping alone). I was asleep on the living room couch one night when I was awoken to the sound of TV static (the TV was left on when I was asleep and I want to say that 'Rocket Power' or 'Rocko's Modern Life' was on but it was hard to see) but I woke up with the noise of static, but the show was still playing and with no interference, which freaked me out due to me being scared from the noise. That's when I noticed a black stick figure coming from the TV. I wanted to scream but I was to afraid too. That's when it went to the couch and just stood there and stared at me as if it was curious of what I was. I started to move but when I went to get to the corner of the couch, it just ran right back into the TV. That's when I started to cry causing my mom to wake up and wonder what was going on. I explained to her what I saw and she had told me that I was just tired and imagined it. To this day (I am 18) at the time of typing this, I still wonder what I saw.” BC

“I have a memory of when I was a kid of seeing a white stick figure that reminded me of a "chalkzone" character. I was with a friend and she saw it too. He was up in a tree in another friends front yard down the street and he looked at us with a crazy evil look and grin and he had a chainsaw. He cut a branch and it fell on their car smashing the whole hood so bad it totalled it. Weird thing is the tree branch REALLY did fall on their car and smash it. I still have the feeling that it was all real but I guess I'll never know for sure. I don't even want to ask my friend if she remembers it because it sounds so crazy.” CJP

-----

“Here's my encounter and my brother also saw it with me. It was 2007, I was 9, my brother was 11 years old, we were playing outside, spinning around. It was dark. The only light was from my front door. While I was spinning, something caught my eye and when I stopped, I saw what looked like a shadow person/stickman. It was like a humanoid man but all black. My brother also noticed it. As soon we saw it, the thing started running. It looked like a stick figure running and it ran through a tree. My brother chased it. He didn't run far, just the end of my front yard but it disappeared. We ran back inside the house to tell our parents. The only reason I remembered it is because of how scared I was in that moment.” JJ

UFO 'Dogfight' Witnessed Over Toronto Airport

Mike in Toronto called to tell of a weird sighting he had:

“I had an incredible UFO sighting about a year ago, July 4 (2018) in Toronto. Well, I worked a night-shift and I worked to about 7:00 AM in the morning. And about 3:15 AM about six UFOs showed up basically right over Pearson Airport. At first they looked like they were just... I thought it was a satellite because they were really high up but one starts to pursue the other one, then two more appeared and the same thing. It looked like it was like a dogfight way high up. They were just balls of light. One looked red. The other one looked green and it looked like the green ones were pursuing the red ones. They were a total of five that I could see. And basically they were like bees in a swarm, swarming around trying to get each other. It looked like that. And, yeah, it blew me away because I'd had sightings before but this one just took it to a whole new level. It was surreal because I'm looking at this thing, and I'm going, 'This can't be happening. Give me a break.' I was shocked. I couldn't believe what I was looking at. This was naked eye.

I would say, if I were to estimate height, I would say low Earth orbit. It was definitely above the clouds and the rate of speed that these were going at... I've flown myself... and these things were not flying like your typical copter or quad copter or aircraft that we know of. These things were doing stuff that were mind boggling. These things were covering basically the northwestern sky to the south and they were flying back and forth in a matter of five to ten seconds. They were covering a huge area of the sky. And here's where it gets really interesting, I'm starting to see little flashes of light and I think to myself, What the heck is that? They were shooting at each other. They were actually shooting at each other. It looked like, you know how lightning flashes inside a cloud and you can see the ambiance of the cloud, it went like that but it was in a straight line, like a laser. The red ones were not shooting at the green ones, only the green ones were shooting the red ones. This was unbelievable. I couldn’t believe what I was watching. This was going on for, I would estimate, seven to ten minutes in the air and I'm going, Nobody else is seeing this? There were no radio reports the next day. I even reported it to MUFON. They did follow up. They wanted more details on what happened but it happened in such a short amount of time. There was so much action. It was like it was a dogfight. It was literally a dogfight. I couldn't believe what I was seeing.”

'Dark Devil Ray' Observed in Houston, Texas

I recently received the following account:

Hey Lon, I read the article about the couple and friends in Florida about the Manta Ray sighting in 2004 / 2005. I am very pleased that you posted the article about the sighting.

You mentioned the sighting was possible the biological alien craft. I looked into this for a bit. I gather the distinction that the Manta Ray biological craft is quite possibly different from the Dark Devil Ray I saw back in April 2004. This creature I saw for about three to four seconds was more of a E.B.E. / crypto-creature. This creature was spotted in uptown Houston under the Dunlavy Street bridge about 10pm to 10:30pm back in the year 2004. I'll tell you how I spotted the DDR.

I was on the feeder road in heavy standing traffic. I was just watching the traffic in front of me carefully. The bridge was over the feeder road. the feeder road ran parallel to the freeway. The freeway had moving traffic just the feeder road had standstill traffic. From where my position was in my truck, I was about 50-75 feet from the bridge. The bridges in Houston usually have lights under, the Dunlavy bridge did not have lights under. The area around and under the bridge was in total darkness. However, lights were in other areas close to the bridge. With the standstill traffic along the feeder road leading under the bridge, lights provided enough to see the DDR. The area of the bridge I saw the DDR was between the feeder road and the freeway, an area about the size of a small store. There I was in traffic watching closely with eyes fixed straight ahead.

So then the Dark Devil Ray made its appearance. What I saw was astonishing. The DDR with wings up levitated from the ground to underneath the bridge. Never did the DDR flap/move its wings. The movement was from left to right up and diagonally to under the bridge. I was astonished and bewildered that I saw with my eyes fixed upon it. The wingspan from upturned wing left to right was about ten to twelve feet. The DDR length from head to tail was no more than ten feet. I did not see a whip tail, I did notice that the creature was completely black. Darker than the surroundings. The DDR seemed to do nothing more than levitate from the ground to underneath the bridge. My complete view was a profile view from 50 to 75 feet from the DDR. I did not see any glowing eyes, the DDR was completely black.

Noting the manta ray UFOs, I turned on the YouTube and other sources to distinguish the difference or similarities.

Thanks for reaching out, I have waited 15 years to talk about this DDR sighting.

Trucker Shoots Upright Canine Near Reed City, MI

I came across the following report:

My uncle had an encounter in the summer several years back. Only reason I believe him is because his whole life, he's always been a super serious, no bullsh*t kind of guy. When he told the story, he sounded genuinely upset about it.

He is a long haul truck driver and was stopped on the side of the highway in a heavily wooded area. This was somewhere several miles in the middle of nowhere, but he said it was closest to Reed City, MI. I can't recall what he said he was doing, but he had to fix something before he could take off. Also, he didn't have a trailer on at the time.

He had just gotten done fixing up his stuff and was about to climb into his vehicle when he saw a deer come towards him from the treeline. He said it looked like it might've been running from something, he assumed it might've been a bear.

He was just getting ready to leave when he suddenly sees something looking at him through the passenger side window. He described it as having jet black fur and bright yellow eyes as well as vicious looking, snarling teeth. It was so close to him that he could see it's fur blowing with the slight breeze that was coming through. The window was open, but it didn't seem to notice, as was evident when the creature put its paw up to the window as if to press it against the window, but pulled it back in shock when it realized it's paw actually entered the vehicle.

My uncle typically carries a gun on him, at this time he had a heavy revolver (the exact name and caliber is beyond my memory right now). He pointed it at the dogman and pulled the trigger, effectively shooting it directly in the face. Finally, the truck started moving fast enough for him to be confident that the thing wasn't following him, should it have survived the shot. He didn't bother waiting around to find out.

He said he still gets disturbed when he thinks back to that event. He described it as giving off this aura of pure evil and ill-intent, in only the few seconds he faced it. He has nightmares about this creature to this day, and he refused to tell anyone about it until several years after it happened for fear of people thinking he had lost his mind.

Another reason I'm able to buy his story is because he has never been interested in the occult, supernatural, paranormal, cryptids etc. He had no idea what to make of this thing I saw him, but when he told me the story I told him to look into the dogman. When he looked online, he said the artist depictions of the dogman perfectly for what he saw that day. Des

Rosemary Ellen Guiley: Queen of the Paranormal (1950-2019)

Like most of those involved with the paranormal, I was stunned at the news that our colleague Rosemary Ellen Guiley had suddenly passed away. I'm still sitting here in quiet disbelief. Rosemary was a prolific author, publisher, investigator and researcher. She authored and compiled nearly 65 books. Her expertise was endless, as she examined and lectured on various paranormal, metaphysical and cryptid subjects.

On a personal note, I had the pleasure of not only interviewing Rosemary on my radio show but also the opportunity to talk to her privately on many occasions. Her knowledge and insight was extremely valuable in my work. She was always gracious and personable, as we shared and exchanged research and reports for several years. I was delighted to occasionally contribute to her books and newsletters.

Rosemary became an intricate member of the team that investigated the Chicago winged humanoid phenomenon, which began to ramp up in 2017. She was one of two team members who was given complete report details and access, which she followed up and verified after personally interviewing each eyewitness. Rosemary also revealed the Chicago sightings evidence and information during a standing-room only presentation at the 2017 Mothman Festival in Point Pleasant, WV. She wrote her opinions about the phenomenon which was included in my book 'Mothman Dynasty: Chicago's Winged Humanoids.'

Rosemary was one-of-a-kind. If she thought something wasn't quite right, she'd let you know about it...then help find a solution. Her passion was exemplary and never equaled by anyone else in the paranormal field. Life is fleeting, as we seem to lose friends and colleagues at an ever increasing rate. I will truly miss her. My condolences to her husband Joe and their family. RIP Ro.
