More Unexplained Highway Incidents
Your highway encounters made me remember one that has stuck with me for over 40 years.
Traveling along a highway in Ontario, Canada late one night, I saw a man standing at the edge of the road in what appeared to be an otherwise deserted stretch of roadway. He was tall and wearing a long coat, almost like the kind Sam Kinison used to wear. He stood upright but slightly leaning forward, his head turned to the right to watch the road -- not the oncoming traffic but the traffic that had already gone PAST him.
He stood unmoving the whole time I could see him. When I was even with him I saw, just down a short pathway behind him, there was a forgotten old cemetery, barely visible in the dark.
I can see that whole scene as clear as a picture in my mind today. What it paranormal? Who knows? But it sure was CREEPY. SD

I didn’t drive an 18-wheeler, but drove similar distances/roads just with smaller cargo. One night I was quite tired, barely hanging on with energy drinks but pushing myself because I had a deadline to meet. Admittedly, I was getting sleepy, but I kept seeing this “ghost deer.” It had a ghostly/transparent look, but kind of also glow-in-the-dark green. It would run in front of my car and stop so would slam on my breaks, and then it would hop across the road and disappear. Happened like 3 times in a row over a very short distance while driving through, I want to say like Arizona. I thought I was hallucinating, but as each time woke me up more and more, me thinking I was hallucinating went down, and think I was seeing something real and very strange went up. After a while it stopped. I still think on what it was, or what it was trying to do, or maybe I was just hallucinating. However, I’ve never hallucinated aside from that time, and I’ve been a lot more tired than that. PM

Driving across country from WA to NY in a U-haul with my ex boyfriend and two year old son all in the front bench seat. On I-90 in Montana we were on the flats and we could see a lightning storm in the mountains ahead. By the time we got up in the mountains it was pitch black but the storm was gone. We were going slow, like 35 because it was so dark. Nothing ahead of us and all of a sudden we drove through a tree that had fallen over the road and obviously been hit by something as we just missed crashing into it ourselves!
Suddenly there were lights and wrecked cars all over the road! A semi with hazards on, several wrecked cars with bodies in the road. They all showed up out of nowhere! There was no hill, dip, curve, fog or anything to obscure everything lit up and flashing. None of it was there and then we were in the middle of a ten car pile up with hazards and flares all over the place.
My boyfriend and I were both wide awake and experienced the same thing. Like we drove through a portal into another dimension or they all were dropped into ours. All the people in the road that weren’t hurt waved for us to not stop and keep going so forcefully that we didn’t stop although I always wished we had as I’m a nurse. Liz

A few years ago my wife and I were returning from a trip to Myrtle Beach. We were in West Virginia, driving along the Ohio River around midnight. We started seeing these dead deer along the road, which isn't all that unusual, but then there were more and more of them. I started counting, and after driving 20 miles or so we saw more than 60 dead deer right off the highway. It was so strange, not sure if they were all hit by semis or what killed them. GO

Stan Gordon: Low Level UFO Encounter Reported Near the Chestnut Ridge in Pennsylvania
Low Level UFO Encounter with Strange Electronic and Animal Effects Reported near the Chestnut Ridge in Pennsylvania
June 4, 2019 - Youngstown, PA (Latrobe area)
From Researcher: Stan Gordon - Stan Gordon's UFO Anomalies Zone
On the evening of June 4, 2019 two people were traveling near the Youngstown side of the Chestnut Ridge not far from Latrobe in Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania. The sky was clear with good visibility. The passenger in the car suddenly yelled out, “What are those lights”? The driver was watching the road and didn’t notice them until they were pointed out.
The passenger was confused about what she was seeing since it looked so unusual. She saw what appeared to be a glass tube cylinder among bright lights that seemed to be covered with a smoke or haze. The cylinder appeared to be attached to a large V shaped object with several rows of different colored lights.
This sketch of the object was drawn by one of the witnessesThe driver pulled the car over and stopped the vehicle so he could view what the other person was watching. The man said he was amazed when he looked up and noticed the odd sight in the sky approximately 80-100 yards away from the vehicle. Hovering about 60 feet over the trees was a very strange looking object in the shape of a V. The V shape was made up of numerous small rectangular shaped white lights. These lights were glowing but would brighten and dim at times. The driver estimated that there could have been 50 or more lights. The object was estimated to be about 40-50 feet long.
Above the smaller lights were four larger round lights that were strobing and orange, blue, red, and green in color. The brightness of these colors appeared pale compared to the smaller rectangular white lights. These lights seem to strobe from left to right. There was a larger light that produced a beam that was scanning the sky above the object.
The driver lowered the windows as they continued to watch the object. The two observers were amazed that the hovering object was completely silent. As the witnesses continued to watch the object, some odd affects took place. The driver stated that it was as though “the electronic system of the car was having a seizure.” The radio was off at the time, however they suddenly began to hear an odd clicking sound inside the vehicle but they were unable to locate the source. At the same time it was noticed that the dash lights were dimming on and off with the beat of the clicking sound. The driver also stated that soon after he was having a problem with his cell phone dropping the signal several times.
The observers watched the object for about 3 minutes but became very disturbed by the encounter and decided to leave the area and continue down the road. The passenger stated, “we were beside ourselves in and awe.” They didn’t even think of trying to take a picture.
The object was still hovering as they began to drive down the road going about 30 miles per hour. That is when something else strange occurred. About 30 seconds after they left the location of the observation, a deer ran out from the woods in front of their car. The driver of the car is an experienced outdoorsman and said the deer looked dazed and confused. It was moments later that another deer did the same thing. Then just a short distance down the road a bird hit the car windshield and continued on. As they continued for another short distance an even stranger animal encounter took place.
The driver, who is very familiar with the native animals around the area, saw a creature that startled him. He said this creature stopped about 7 feet in front of his vehicle. This creature was directly in his headlights and he got a good look at it. He knew what it was but the animal has been declared extirpated in Pennsylvania for many years.
He is certain he saw a “wolverine.” The animal looked directly at the vehicle and was about 4 feet long from tail to snout. It had light brown hair with dark spots with tuffs of tan and white hair. It had its mouth open and showed its teeth before running off. Its body was thicker than the fishers that have been seen around this area. The witness said he was dumbfounded. As they continued on, more deer quickly exited the woods.
The driver commented, “all of these animals seemed confused and frightened. They were all crossing the road as to evade something that had scared them. I was in a state of amazement at what we encountered. I’ll never forget that strange night.”
Addendum:
In recent weeks, the national news media has been giving some serious attention to the UFO phenomena and focusing on observations made by our Navy pilots. I set up my UFO Hotline in 1969 to report sightings in the Keystone state and my phone never stops ringing with current and past observations. When I began in the field investigations of UFOs and other phenomena in 1965, it became apparent that many UFO sightings could be explained as natural or manmade in origin. However every year, I receive UFO reports from across Pennsylvania that are not so easily explained away.
During my nearly 60 years of research I have investigated multitudes of low level UFO incidents where large structured objects were observed at very close range. Many of these incidents occurred in daylight and were observed by more than one witness. These detailed close range UFO encounters have continued to occur in more recent years. During the last year and continuing into 2019, I have continued to receive reports of aerial objects that are not easily dismissed.
The sighting that I have detailed occurred along the Chestnut Ridge. This area has a long history of mysterious encounters. There are commonly annual reports of UFOs, Bigfoot, and other anomalies reported through the Chestnut Ridge area of Westmoreland, Fayette, and Indiana counties in Pennsylvania. If you have any Pennsylvania UFO or Bigfoot incidents you would like to discuss I can also be contacted at: paufo@comcast.net.

Strange Encounters On The Highway - Part II
I had a drive every day through the most remote stretch of highway in Texas. Middle of the desert. No houses, no cell signal, no intersections, no frame of reference, no nothing except XM and my truck. I drove this road every day. About 90 miles. I would leave my house about 5 am and usually never see a single other vehicle, let alone a human on the road. I've seen hitchhikers. I've seen Mexican illegals. I've seen ranchers broken down.
One day I'm on the drive and slamming through a solid karaoke session with my morning coffee. Everything is normal. Then out nowhere, on the right shoulder was a person. Dressed head to toe in pitch black walking on the right shoulder, which is actually a "full lane" in this part of Texas. I was in no danger of hitting them. There was just NO REASON for that person to be there at that time, in that place. I've seen a hitchhiker or two, and even let one hop in my rig (don't tell my boss, lol) to the next town. This was NO a transient. This was NOT a hitchhiker. God knows what that was, but I still have the shivers right now thinking about that day. I went to the only gas station on either end of that drive, and NO one had seen anything come in/out of town. To this day, I still think it was somehow God reminding me that I'm never alone.
Never told this story to anyone until today. GT

I had an odd thing happen when driving from CT to FL. I do this drive 2 times a year. I was driving in northern Georgia on a highway and I saw a very bright light at the top of a hill the light then proceeded to shoot straight up into the sky probably 800ft or so above the hill, hover for about 20 seconds then drop very quickly back to the hilltop. If this was a drone it was the fastest vertical movement I have ever seen from one. The moon was very bright that night and there was no telephone/cell tower anywhere on this hill.
I had not seen another car for at least an hour it was around 3 am. About 3-5 minutes later as I got closer to the exit with the hill a car came flying down the highway in the "slow" lane and took that exit, turned left across the highway on the overpass towards that hill and was out of sight. The car appeared to be a Mercedes SLK 350 or something similar - jet black. I was travelling at about 70 mph and this car came at at least 120-130mph. When I saw the headlights in my rear view mirror until I put on my blinker to move over it had passed me. My girlfriend was sleeping in the passenger seat and woke up when I exclaimed "Oh my God." She saw the car take the exit and burn rubber across the bridge and disappear toward that hill.
This was probably all some crazy coincidence but it still weirds me out when I think about it. TFC
-----
I was taking a load of paper from Alabama to Ohio. Well the paper mill I loaded at was in the middle of BFE and was probably 65 miles away from the nearest interstate.
I was a little low on my legal driving hours so I figured I would spend the night at the shipper. Well the shipper doesn't allow overnight parking. Great. So I get loaded and roll out.
I set my GPS for the nearest truck stop which was 70 miles. (There was one closer but it didn't have showers according to Google reviews) So I'm rolling along this winding country road just taking my time because it's dark.
I flip my high beams on when I get to a straight section of the road and I can see a figure walking. I remember thinking how brave they must be. Well as I get closer I notice the figure is a man in an all white suit! As my lights uncovered more of him I noticed he had a bag slung over his shoulder, not a big one but big enough to notice. As I started to ease the truck over to left side of the road to pass my him he turned and stuck his thumb out as if to hitch a ride.
Now I normally wouldn't have a problem with that except the fact that when he turned towards the truck, the place where his face was suppose to be was completely red and blank. No eyes. No nose. No mouth. Blank. Red and blank.
I must of hit my door lock button about 30 times. I made it to the truckstop and waited until daylight to take my shower. I don't know what I saw that night but whatever it was, it can not ride with me. BG

Bigfoot Attack on Raider's Ridge Trail
I recently received the following account:
I'll be honest this is only the second time I've told this story to anyone. I used to live out in southwest Colorado. I was attending Fort Lewis College in Durango. Beautiful area, right between the mountains and desert and is very close to the San Juan National Forest. At the time this happened I was living in an apartment building very close to the school. FLC sits on a mesa above the actual town of Durango and my apartment was also on this mesa. Right behind my complex was a ridgeline called Raiders Ridge. I was a very avid mountain biker and every morning I would ride a trail system up and over Raiders Ridge.
It was early morning. Behind the ridge is just forest and a series of smaller ridges for at least a few miles. The area is relatively well forested with small pines, scrub brush and larger bushes. The sun hadn't yet gotten over the ridge so it was somewhat light but not brightly lit like from overhead sunlight. At the time I was about a mile back into the ride and I was pedaling up to another of the smaller ridges, going pretty slow since it was a relatively steep grade. All of a sudden I feel and hear something hard hit my helmet. A bit odd but I figured it could have been something rolling down from this ridge so I kept on. Then it happened again except this time it hit me right on the knuckle. Thankfully I was wearing my riding gloves. I stopped not really thinking anything of it and took a drink but as soon as I stopped it was super quite. I got really weirded out almost like when you know someone is staring at you from across the classroom. That's when I heard it. It sounded like the lowest deepest growl ever. Like a tiger on steroids. I looked in the direction of where it came from, completely frozen. I have never heard anything with the kind of power that this thing had.
I then noticed a very large black mass behind one of the larger bushes. It was sort of backlit so I couldn't make out any discernible features, only that this thing was real big. It looked jet black but with the lighting I guess its possible that it was a dark brown. I'm not sure. I stared at it for what must have been a just few seconds. I started freaking out on the inside but still couldn't move. It must have only been maybe 30 feet from me. It let out another growl and it stood up on two feet. I am not a big person but this thing must have been 6.5-7ft tall - lean yet very muscular. At this point my flight response kicked in and I awkwardly shuffled my bike in a 180° and started out down the hill like a bat out of hell. I never looked back but I could hear it run after me, big heavy thuds and breaking brush and branches on the way. I'm not sure when it stopped following I was so focused on getting away and not crashing that I couldn't say exactly when I stopped hearing it. I went down a different way than I came because if I didnt I knew I would have had to ride back up Raiders Ridge and that would mean slowing down. So I went southwest which took me to a much more popular trail that led to a main road. I just thought I need to get to where there are other people and I'll be safe. Which I did. I rode across a group of trailrunners and nearly crashed into one of them. I got to the entrance of the trail by the road and collapsed. I was exhausted almost crying and hyperventilating. A woman stopped to as if I was ok and all I could get out was "I'm ok now, I'm ok now". Needless to say I rode all the way back home on surface streets.
Not long after that things went downhill real fast for me. I dropped out of school and fell heavily into addiction. I had to move back home to NY after that. It took me years to get better and to even think about getting back out into the woods. And even still what happened is always on my mind when I'm out there. But I have learned to deal with it. I still enjoy nature and now I figure with all the time I've spent out in the forest and this has only happened once that my odds are fairly low of this repeating itself. But I always worry about people who go actively looking for these things. They can be extremely shy or, in my case, extremely aggressive and you never know which it will be. Just be careful out there people. Keep your eyes and ears open. AGC

Strange Encounters On The Highway
I was crossing the Navajo Nation on my way to Colorado in the 90’s. It was around 1 am and I was really tired so I pulled over between Gallup and Ship Rock. Had a nightmare of evil looking faces coming at me out of pitch black, screaming. I woke up started my car and when I turned on my headlights there was a coyote and a jack rabbit sitting about 10 feet apart just on the edge of the light. Never had a nightmare like that before or since. Have traveled that route a few times but never stopped after dark again.
I dated a Navajo girl from Chinle and when I told her that story she was seriously bothered by it and told me to never mention the coyote again. She said I was not wanted there and if I hadn’t woken up when I did something was about to go down.
The general view of Coyote in folk belief is generally negative and related to witchcraft. Witches called skinwalkers are believed to be able to adopt the form of a coyote. A Navajo saying holds that if Coyote crosses your path, turn back and do not continue your journey. The coyote is an omen of an unfortunate event or thing in your path or in the near future. SC

Heading home one night on Hwy 70 which is very windy along a river at the base of a canyon. It's around 2am but am alert enough to see deer, slow down, speed back up and total my car on a suicidal deer bringing up the rear. As there is no service I put on a headlamp, belt on a hunting knife and start walking. The canyon is not a great place to be at night. A Union Pacific truck passes going my direction at some point and is the only vehicle I've seen. A few minutes later the same truck passes going the other way which is where I get nervous. A few minutes after that he comes back my direction and asks if that's my wrecked car and offers a ride which I decline because weird vibes. To which he says "come on man there's a lot of really weird shit that goes on around here" and he is in a company truck after all. Ended up being a super nice guy. BUT, after asking him about his weird canyon experiences he shows me a picture on his phone of what looked like Smegal (LOTR) he took while clearing rock from a track one night. Still creeps me the f**k out. CO

I was leaving my house with my friend around 2 years ago during the beginning of winter. As we were pulling out we came to see a figure in the cornfield next to my house. As we got closer we came to realize it looked human but wasn’t, it was almost a petrified pale color to it and it was small and was on all fours like Gollum from LoTR and had pale eyes that looked hollow with dark spots around them. We were both in my car and we didn’t say anything as we saw it in my headlights but as we passed it we both asked each other if, “we just f**king saw that.” I had completely forgotten about this story until recently when my friend brought it up to me. I then asked my sister about it a few days later and she said I might have seen something called the rake, so I looked it up. The thing looked just like how some of these pictures describe and I don’t think I’ll ever look at the paranormal the same ever again because of it. Here’s a link to some of the pictures that accurately depict what me and my friend saw. AF

The Forest Witch and the Crab Humanoids
I recently came across the following account:
I think it is time to share my story. I'm 29 years old and this happened about 13-14 years ago.
Back in the day the soldiers who have been stationed here (Germany) would go out to train in the woods. We would go there almost everyday checking the shooting ranges for bullets, shells, etc. Whatever we could find. Since my father is an American and I can speak English, I would talk to many soldiers and often we would trade beer/chocolate for some MRE's.
In this forest there used to live a woman. We called her "Waldhexe." Guess you would translate it to "forest witch" in English. This woman lived in the woods for 25 years. The last thing I heard about this woman was that she got arrested by the police and is locked up in a mental asylum.
We often talked to this lady and she would talk about random stuff that made no sense at all. She often talked about "Wichtelmänner." I have no clue what the English translation would be. Maybe some kind of dwarf/imp. Not too sure about it. She even showed us the clothing she sewed/crafted for them and said it was some kind of tribute so that she can live peacefully in the forest. Judging by the size of the clothing they had to be like a foot tall.
Anyways, on this particular day my two buddies and I decided to ride our bikes deeper into the woods just to explore and maybe find a new shooting range. In the distance we saw a person sitting on a log beside the trail. My bud was like "That has to be the witch." Turned out he was right. As we got closer to her she stood up and blocked our path. She was really angry and asked us what we are doing here. We told her that we just wanted to explore the woods some more.
This is about the time I was a little creeped out. She started to talk weird stuff about "Krabbenmenschen," some kind of crab humanoids. At one point we've had enough of her crazy stories and we kind of laughed it off. I said to her "well maybe we meet one of your friends along the way." We hopped back on our bikes and just as I was going to pedal off she suddenly grabbed my arm. It was a really tight grip she had on me and with a kind of creepy smile she said "I warned you." I told her to f**k off and let me go.
We kept advancing deeper into the woods and joking about the things she said. We maybe did about, I'd say, two more kilometres until the trail was so bad it became impossible to ride a bike. We took a break and decided that we turn around.
All 3 of us were just sitting on an old log and suddenly I got goosebumps. Even my eyes had gotten a little bit watery. I look over to Daniel and notice he has goosebumps to. Marc, my other friend who was with us, said "You guys feel that? We are being watched." Daniel is the type of guy who always goofs around and I would've bet all my money in that moment that he would say something like "the crab people are stalking us" just to break the tension. But he didn't. Instead he said with this serious tone, "We should get the f**k out of here now."
We were riding out of the woods at a really fast pace and it felt like forever to get out of there. We have never really talked about it not even after all these years. I have goosebumps writing this part of it. I was really scared that day. The silence was what freaked me out. You didn't hear a bird, a branch falling off a tree nothing. Just this dead silence. Who knows what is out there.
Thank you for reading. Steve

Man Commits Suicide...Then Vanishes
"This experience is actually a big driving force behind why I believe the paranormal is normal now. This happened a few years ago here in Buenos Aires. I was leaving at nightclub. It was about 3:00 AM. I was alone. I had to walk to the bus stop from the nightclub. Now I'm no saint but this night I had maybe two bottles of beer, small bottles of beer. I just wasn't feeling the vibe and I wanted to go home so between the nightclub and the bus stop there is a train track. When I get to the train track, I hear the railroad crossing bells start to ring, so I stop and I wait. Directly across from me, on the other side of the tracks, there is a metal sort of railing that you wait at and I see this person walking up to the railing. It looked like a homeless person or somebody that was living, you know, on the streets. The person also had what looked like, to be, a bottle, in his hand, and he was drinking the bottle, so I assumed it was just a homeless person or, you know, a drunk or somebody that was in a bad situation, living on the streets.
It was late. There was nobody around, just me and this person. I was looking over at the person because they were kind of looking at me while they were drinking from their bottle but because it was nighttime and they were a bit further, I couldn't make out their facial features. I could tell that they didn't have any hair on their head. They were bald. I think maybe they didn't have shoes on. Like I said, this happened a few years ago (in 2016) so forgive me if I struggle with some of the details. So this person sort of gets really close to the tracks and starts chugging the bottle, right, chugging it back, and I'm looking at them going, like, what is this person doing? They're too close to the tracks. The train is gonna come right now. The train is coming right now and they look, you know, like I thought it was somebody that was wasted and they were gonna kill themselves on the track without noticing because they were so drunk, so I start to scream at the person on the track to get off the track because the train is coming, looking over at them and I'm screaming at him telling him to move back away from the track he's too close to the track. Now, I think he threw the bottle and this is something that I clearly remember because this is where it got really crazy.
So the train is getting closer and closer and this person isn't moving but I'm still yelling at them, telling them to back up from the tracks, the train is coming. It's getting closer and closer louder and louder, I'm screaming. The person is not moving. The light from the train is shining and it gets closer and closer. The person opens up their arms almost like, you know that big Jesus statue in Brazil? Sort of like Jesus on the cross kind of thing, you know, arms wide open, like, if you're gonna give somebody a bear hug. He turns around, makes eye contact with me and falls forward right onto the track. I saw their head touched the track on one side and their legs touch the track on the other side and the train just went and passed right over. While this guy did this, he made eye contact with me, and the train, like, hit him. The train light lit him up. I realized he had no hair on his face, he was bald, and he didn't seem, like, he didn't even have eyebrows. I'm serious, like, no hair.
I start freaking out at this point. I completely lost it. I'm yelling at the train, that they ran somebody over. I'm still alone, I'm yelling and I'm yelling, and the train stops and I'm thinking, 'Oh my god, I just saw somebody kill themselves, like, what is going on?'
The first thing I did when the train stopped was go directly to where I saw him throw himself under the train and I look under the train. Now when I look under the train, obviously, I see what anyone would see - a mangled, what looked like a mangled kind of body right somebody twisted like a pretzel. It was dark so I... I didn't really see much but just that image made me fall back. I looked away. When I looked back the person was in a crouched... I don't even know how to say this or how to explain this. This is why I don't like telling this story. It was like they were in a crouched position but it didn't make sense logically because the space was too small but it was like they were mangled and then I looked back and they were like in a crouched position and it was like he was looking back at me for a second and then he ran and at this point I'm just overloaded with too much... there's too much going on here
I'm freaking out completely, my brain can't even process what's happening. This cop, I think he got off the train, he walks up to me and he says, 'Why did you yell, what's going on?' And I said, 'They ran somebody over! They ran somebody over!' That's all I could say because I was like in shock. I point to where the person was, but I still couldn't believe what I saw, so I thought he was still there. I thought I was in shock. The cop looks and there's nothing there obviously because what was there was now gone. I'm like, 'No no, they ran somebody over, he was right there, it was a dead guy there.' The cop is looking at me, like, you're crazy, like, he asked me, 'Are you on drugs or something?' I'm like, 'No, like, totally, no, I swear to you there was somebody there. I swear to you.' And while I'm saying that, out of the darkness comes an actual homeless person and he's like freaking out. The homeless person is freaking out. I think he was pushing like a cart. He was pulling a cart or something but I remember that he was freaking out because he was saying 'the kid isn't lying, there was something there and he ran out the other side. The kid isn't lying he's not lying.'
I get so uncomfortable whenever I tell this story. I start to get, like, cold. It's just weird. I start feeling really weird. At this point, there's, like, traffic behind me, you know, the cops here, the homeless guy's here freaking out, praying. Here's where I just got this sense of fear, like terror. The train conductor gets off the train walks up to us me and the cop is super mad and says, 'Where is the guy that I ran over? Where is the guy that threw himself on the track?' And the cop's like, 'There is no guy.' And I'm like, 'There's a guy! There was a guy there.' And the train conductor looks at me and says, 'He's not lying,' to the cop, 'I saw the guy. We ran over a guy.'
Just telling you guys this story is like bringing back those emotions that I was feeling that night. The conductor got back on the train. The cop, I think, was on the train, so he gets back and the train leaves. The traffic goes by and then I'm alone and there was just something about this experience and that fear that I felt after that and that confusion. It was like my mind couldn't grasp it. I couldn't explain it.
So for the next week, the next month, I was just trying to figure out what that was. I was trying to figure out what it meant. I'll just be 100% honest with you guys, it was very very frightening only because I felt in my gut like that was supposed to happen to me like it was a warning or a sign or something. I couldn't really tell anybody either because the story gets so crazy at certain points, like when he's mangled and then he's un-mangled. I was afraid to actually talk about it with people for some reason. I've always been into the paranormal and the fringe ever since I was young. I've been looking into those kinds of things and I can't really ignore it. I can't. It's something that it happens naturally but there has been moments in my life where I just forced myself to ignore it. I forced myself not to look into it because sometimes the rabbit-hole gets so big then you end up more lost than when you first started researching or when you first started. It seems like the phenomenon sort of does that like it has some sort of intelligence that helps keep it secret.”

Experiencer Recalls Abductions and UFO Incident
I received the following account from an experiencer, after they had heard me during my recent interview with James Bartley on the 'Cosmic Switchboard:'
Abduction experience:
Date: in the year 2000 or 2001 (I can't pinpoint more precisely), I was in my early twenties (born in 1977).
Location: city of Lausanne, Switzerland (on the edge of Lake Geneva/Lake Leman).
Recurrence: 3 nights in-a-row, then never again (that I remember).
I was in nursing school at the time, renting a small room in the tower-like school building (next to the CHUV, the University hospital of Lausanne).
At a personal level, I wasn't doing very good. I was struggling with a problem of bulimia-anorexia. I would have a binge eating crisis every evening, and if, for whatever reason, I couldn't, I would go into panic mode. Much like a junkie.
But one evening though, while in my room, I became aware that the compulsion wasn't there. It simply was gone. That was startling, and very empowering. I could feel that "something was different in the air" beside that fact, without being able to say what.
Eventually it was time to go to bed, which I did. As I recall, as soon as I laid my head on the pillow, without going into the phase of getting asleep, I felt myself being powerfully "sucked" backwards, extremely quickly, with a strong vertigo feeling in my stomach. Next, I was aware of being in a circular, dimly lit "room", with several rectangular "doors" - or what felt like doors - along the curved wall. Unfortunately, I cannot describe the environment more precisely than that. The type of materials, how were the doors exactly, the wall... I don't remember. I will say though that it didn't feel like I was inside of a craft. That's about what I can say about the environment.
I was aware of lying on my back, with a heavy weight on my chest (no respiratory problems felt). I was feeling afraid, but not panicked. I began feeling angry because I wanted to stand up and couldn't. I was able to move my limbs freely and began struggling mightily to try to get up. I thought to myself, "Gee, I'm struggling so much that when I will open my eyes in my bed, I will see the mess I'm making".
In fact, I "knew" that I was in two places at the same time. I had the awareness to be in that room, and to still be lying in my bed. I was convinced that the movements I was making in that "room", I (or my body) was making them in my bed also. I think this is what is called bilocation.
I was aware of the presence of one or more beings, responsible for the weight I was feeling on my chest. I didn't have the feeling that an entity was literally "sitting" on my chest, though. I don't remember either the number of beings nor how they looked. To the most, something that I could say would be a color: brownish. But with regard to their shape, height and other details, it's not in my memory. I don't remember what might have happened further in that circular "room".
What I do remember next is opening my eyes in my bedroom, utterly shocked to find myself laying fine in my undisturbed bed. That fact was even more shocking to me than the rest of the experience.
I spent the next day at school trying to understand just what had happened. I knew it was not a dream, it felt completely different. At the time, I had next to zero awareness of ET's/aliens. Zero awareness of "abductions". It was making sense to me that we humans were not the only sentient species out there, but that was about it at the time.
In the evening of that second day, I got the sensation that the experience would happen again. I was feeling somewhat afraid, but again, strangely, not panicked nor terrorised. When I went to bed and laid my head on the pillow, it happened again. I thought to myself, "Oh no" while feeling the "sucking" backwards phenomenon. And the exact same scenario repeated: I was in the same place, laying on my back, same weight on my chest, again unable to free myself and stand up. Next thing I remember is like the night prior: I open my eyes in my bedroom, not recalling anything more of what might have happened in that circular room.
Now on the third day, I was feeling fed up. I was mentally preparing for being able, this time, to stand up. I was going to show "them". :)
I was anticipating the night and the reoccurrence of the experience. So when it did happen again, I was satisfied and all pumped up. However, the same scenario repeated and I was unable to stand up in that circular room. I "prepared" for a fourth occurrence, but it didn't happen. It never happened again since. On the fifth or sixth day, my eating compulsion came back and my bulimia-anorexia problem resumed.
NOTE: Since then, I have read on the internet that those instances of feeling a weight on the chest are often linked with a rape scenario by Reptilians. That's probably why I can't remember (yet) what really happened during the experience.
UFO sighting:
Date: end of June 2017.
Location: small town of Ascona, Switzerland, near Locarno (on the edge of Lake Maggiore).
Type: 4 dim lights, of a light blue color, silently gliding over my rooftop, at slow speed and low altitude.
It was night time, I was sitting on my balcony watching the stars as usual. From the corner of my eye, I saw a movement on the left and looked at it. I saw four dim lights silently and slowly gliding, disappearing after 2 seconds behind the rooftop of the building. My first thought was an emotionless, "Yeah, that's a UFO." Then, I thought it would be stupid not to try to see it better, so I jumped off my chair and ran to the corner of my balcony, leaned over the barrier slightly and could see the four lights for 3-4 more seconds before they disappeared again behind the roof.
"This doesn't make any sense", I thought. Here, in Ascona? This is a very touristic small town, the whole region is dotted with villages, hamlets and houses all around the lake. No wilderness at all.
The other thing that didn't make any sense was the neighbour's absence of reaction. In the neighbouring building, positioned at 90° from mine, a neighbour was also on his balcony, smoking a cigarette. The UFO was to my left but for him, from where he was positioned, the UFO was straight in his line of sight, directly in front of him. He couldn't have missed it, because it was rather big and noticeable.
When I say "big", I don't mean that the craft itself was big but rather, it appeared big because it was flying at such a low altitude. I'm not good with distances and measurements, but the craft would be almost as big as my fist with my arm extended. The four lights were on the bottom of the craft, probably either at each corner, or along the edges, indicating a flat bottom. I didn't see the entire outline/silhouette of the craft, but I have a sense that it was a flat craft, not domed.
Moments later, upon thinking about why the neighbour didn't show any sign of agitation or anything, I remembered having read on the internet that sometimes, crafts could somehow be made to be noticed and seen only by one or several targeted persons.
Somewhat disturbed by that thought, I decided that if something were to happen that night, I would wake myself up.
I did have a strange dream that night. And it was a dream, it had the typical feeling and symbolic language of dreams.
In that dream, I was on my balcony - another one that the actual one - and I was looking at an owl (I don't consciously recall having ever dreamt of owls before. I did dream, as a child, of the rectangular head of a grey vacuum-cleaner gliding in the air towards me though... and many other nightmares). Anyways, that owl didn't have spread wings though; it was just the head and the body approaching towards me. At some point, it shifted its position to 90° as it continued to come closer (much like, as an analogy, when someone lying in their bed opens their eyes and sees someone leaning over them from the side of the bed, at 90°).
Next, I was leaning over the balcony to watch the balcony below. It was packed full of baby owls. And there were also other baby creatures that I couldn't figure out. They were unknown to me. They felt mammalian, possibly feline, with a fur that seemed very soft, the same grey color as that of baby penguins. I was trying to recognise them and couldn't, so I went in the apartment to fetch a camera and take a picture of them. But that's when I heard the telephone ring. The voicemail was on and I heard a masculine voice asking, "Miss? Miss? You haven't forgotten our appointment, have you?" I pondered the possibility of not answering and strangely, I began feeling a sensation of sexual arousal increasing. And then I woke up, becoming aware that my body was sexually very aroused - which I didn't appreciate, of course. Odile

'Reptilian MIB' Close Encounter
Gary in Oregon called in to tell of a strange experience he had:
“I experienced a situation back in the 1970s when I was a lot younger and I was with an older man, a friend, and some other people I knew - his son and daughter. And we took a little trip up to the Portland area and, at that time, I didn't know what I was going to experience and we stopped off at the back of some rest building up in that area. I'm not sure exactly where but what happened was, we all got out of the car and we walked up the back-end of this large building. We went into the rear end of this place and saw rows and rows of these metal little chairs for people to sit on and there was about 100 people in front of us. It was a long building inside. It was at night.
So, anyway, and we sat down, looked around, we didn't know who was in front of us. And I noticed like 8 or 9 guys, like, you know, in suits and like a grey jacket and grey pants, like a dress type suit and pants and they were all dressed in the same color. All the same. I asked, 'What was this?' I didn't know what was going on. 'Are these FBI guys or what?' So I sat for a little bit, I didn't want to take too much time. It was almost 12:00 so I proceeded to go by myself and leave the three people I was with and walked on up to right where those few fellows were all standing. I stood next to the end one on the left-side and there was a whole row of them all together on the right.
So they were all together and I stood there for a little bit and I just had this odd feeling and out of my side vision, or peripheral vision or side vision, whatever, there was just something odd about this guy I was standing next to. And then the color, I could tell there was something wrong with the color of his skin on his face. I thought maybe this guy's been in a fire or something. There was something wrong with this situation and I kept looking forward. I kept looking straight ahead. And, plus, these guys were all really tall – unusually tall. So I eventually I decided to go ahead and turn my head and look at this person and to my shock I noticed the side of his neck had this grey color. It wasn't natural skin color. It wasn't green. He had, like small scales on his skin and it was just really odd. I turned to look up at his face because he was a lot taller than me, about 7 feet tall, and I was looking at him, at the lower part of his neck. I looked up at his face, or the side of his head, and he was looking straight ahead and not looking at me at first then as he started to turn his head... it would move in segments, little movements at a time and each time his face would move, it would become invisible, his face, so it would almost become translucent. It was odd. Only his head. Of course he was wearing clothes. Anyway, suddenly, he tilted his head and looked at me with a look that he wasn't too happy with me, you know, looking at him directly. I’m looking into a face like what they call a reptilian but not a green skinned one. (Lewis asks if he thought they were the Men In Black) From what I know about Men In Black, what I see on TV, they never look like a reptilian like creature, you know.
This one never spoke to me. I was scared to death after I saw it, what it was. I wondered if it had claws, you know, and I thought I was standing too close to it and I didn't want it to... I was standing right next to it and it was bigger than me. When I looked at it, it had gold eyes, big red-gold eyes and it had an unusual face, the mouth, nose, the front of its face was really unusual. It was more of a reptile-like thing and the nose was really something. It was real flat kind of looking. Just really bizarre and its eyes were big and they were gold, beautiful gold, but with a vertical slit. They eye had the pupil like a cat or an alligator. I just started walking ahead of it. I just didn't want it standing next to me any longer and eventually I just went back to the people I was with. And I asked can you see those guys up there? Can you see those guys in the suits and they all said yes they could. I wasn't imagining it. They kept saying, Yes, they could see them.”

'Pterosaur' Observed in Wheaton, Illinois
I recently received a telephone call from a witness 'KM' who described the sighting of a cryptid winged creature.
KM was driving on Jewell Rd., about 1/2 mile west of Gary Ave. in Wheaton, Illinois during the late afternoon of July 5, 2019. He had been helping a friend with a yard sale.
As KM was looking ahead of him, he noticed a strange form flying in the sky at an altitude of approximately 200 feet. The profile was that of a Pterosaur, in particular the long tail with a 'spade' on the end. The head was indistinguishable because of the angle, but the wings were wide and similar to the classic form. The creature was dark in color and propelled itself with slow deliberate wing flaps.
KM was able to observe the winged creature for 15-20 second and is positive that it was not a crane or heron, of which he is very familiar with. The wingspan was undetermined, but much wider than any known indigenous bird.
This is a continuation of cryptid bird and winged humanoid sightings in the Upper Midwest, in particular throughout the state of Illinois and Indiana. Lon
