White Eyed Kids

“Okay, here's my story. I was at a lake in the back of one of the neighborhoods near me and I was with a couple friends. They were cliff jumping into the lake and I was just swimming around. After a while of this, we just hung out on top of the cliff. Soon after a truck arrived with a tall thin guy, maybe 16, and two girls around the same age. It was when they arrived and started jumping off the cliff too that I became uneasy. I asked my friends if we could start biking home and they were like 'sure'. As I got on my bike, I turned back around to take one last look and the guy was staring at me but I noticed that he had only white eyes. No color, no pupil, nothing. At the time I hadn't even heard of white eyed kids so I googled people without pupils and nothing came up. It was weird AF but true.” SammieBeexx

“I have had an experience with WEK (White Eyed Kid). It was 12 years ago (2005). I was driving through the Petrified Forest National Park (in Arizona). I pulled over on a deserted stretch of road just after sunset. I hadn't seen a car for at least 1.5 hours. I got out to have a smoke and check the map and out of nowhere there was a kid who looked maybe 13 in a hoodie and jeans. She asked if I would give her a ride. I couldn't because I was packed to the gills in the middle of moving, so I declined but offered to let her use my phone so she could call someone, I even offered to wait with her until someone picked her up. She became livid and gave me a grimace, which is when I noticed the eyes, purely white. I opened my trunk and grabbed a sandwich and bottle of water, set them on the ground and got back in my car. Within a week I was in the hospital with complete renal failure with no idea from the doctors why it happened and ended up flat lining twice. I didn't think much about it until I was telling my nana from Norway about it and she told me they're death harbingers. What's the most unnerving is the fact I had seen her a few more times afterwards in multiple cities and states.” K Mitchell

Bigfoot Mischief at Work Site

Lon - here is a bigfoot story I was told by a Navy buddy when we were stationed in Bremerton, WA. He said before going into the service he worked on construction in the Sierra Nevada's of Northern California. They had many 55 gallon drums stored with gas, etc. for the equipment. On returning one morning they found the drums missing and saw large footprints going from where the drums were to the edge of a cliff. They then saw where the drums had been thrown over the cliff and landing below. These drums weighed around 500 hundred pounds and they had been carried not rolled to the edge of the cliff. JK

Tall 'Gorilla' in Michigan

“I seen a 9 - 10 foot tall gorilla in Northern Michigan in the summer of 2000, when I stopped and turned from the wind to light a cigarette. And there it was, 200 feet away, in broad daylight! Facing me, but looking back in the direction I had just come from. And it did not move a muscle. ( I had the feeling that it did not anticipate me stopping and turning from the wind to light my cigarette? And it only had enough time to turn its head to avert its eyes from me?) Then I heard a stick snap in 2 pieces just behind me. And when I turned and looked to see who was sneaking up on me. There was nothing there. When I turned to get a better look at this gorilla, it was GONE! I ran like a terrified child to the paved road and walked home looking over my shoulder the whole way.” Jay Carlsen

Recent Bigfoot Sightings at Sutton Lake, WV

Sightings of a bigfoot alleged recently at Sutton Lake in central West Virginia may have a historic precedent.

Old news clippings that refer to a wildman, and more recent stories of an ape-like creature, at least imply that the region is a fertile ground for such tales.

The county at the very center of West Virginia is coincidentally home of the legendary Flatwoods Monster, also known as the Braxton County Green Monster, the legend of which attracts many tourists to the region.

According to Andrew Smith, executive director of the Braxton County Convention and Visitors Bureau, rumors of a bigfoot have been circulating in recent months and have even inspired one bigfoot researcher to post video of a lakeside hunt online.

“We’ve heard of an uptick in reports near the lake,” says Smith, who attributes the county’s wealth of monstrous encounters in part to its dark skies and deep forests.

“I’d actually say the reason for so many strange sightings is multi-fold. Braxton County is a pretty large geographic area, but only a small portion is populated and developed, so there’s a lot of empty space, and there’s a lot of area that hasn’t been seen by humans lately, apart from hunters, and, then, not all the time.”

Update: Bigfoot rumors boosting travel at central West Virginia lake

A “Wild man” of Flatwoods, WV

“I was on my way home from lodge meeting,” said Douglas, “When I heard a noise near Ed Wiley’s barn, which is close to the road. I thought it might be a dog and paid little attention to it at first, Then, as I was passing a vacant house a short distance from Ed’s place, I heard a distant door slam and a wild-looking fellow, in rags and with the same long hair and beard that others who have seen him have described, came running out of the front door of the old house, brandishing a huge knotted club and uttering the most horrifying sounds I ever have heard.

“Being convinced by his actions that I was to be assaulted and possibly killed, I drew my revolver and took two shots at him. With this, he turned and fled, screaming louder than ever. I didn’t pursue him. Not me. It would take a braver man than I profess to be to go on the trail of that horrible creature.”

The authorities are again agitating the question of taking some means to capture this much-feared lunatic or whatever he is. Early local newspaper clipping

Tall Pale Humanoid in the Backyard

I recently came across the following account:

I live in North Carolina, Durham specifically. My family lives in a standard two story house in the middle of a run of the mill neighborhood (lots of intersecting roads etc).

On the night of question (about two nights ago) my family was going to visit a relative who had given birth recently in Greensboro, so I had the house to myself.

I was getting home at around 8-9 pm and decided to bring my dog in. She stays outside in the kennel for the day until we bring her in for the night.

Our house has a garage attached to the left of it, and the garage has a back door that leads into the back yard. Her kennel is just to your right as you exit the door, with a 4-5 feet clearance/path in between it and the garage (there is also a bed of rock just up against the house, this will be important).

She had recently been taken to the vet for her "distressed" behavior, which is why I had to stay home to be with her.

The evening went fine, I watched a movie to pass the time. I then decided to take her out to use the bathroom before being put up for the night, around 12-1.

I took her out the back-garage door with her long leash (I was wearing socks and didn't feel like getting them soaked).

She usually does her "business" in that little clearing between the kennel and garage, so I let her walk down through it.

Our garage has a single light on the back wall (not LED or really bright) so I can see her somewhat well while she does it. She's facing me when suddenly her backside lifts almost one or two feet into the air. (Paranormal or not I f**king screamed at this) I assumed some wild dog or something had tried to drag her.

She runs back to me and I hear rustling among the rocks and this figure stops right as it enters visible view in the light.

I've never seen anything like it in my life. "It" was tall. I'm 6'2 and I had to look slightly up to see where I thought its head was. It was pale but not white or grey, just normal pale flesh-color (like someone who spends a week or two indoors). It was lanky, not really anorexic or anything but definitely disproportionate.

It looked at me for a good 1-2 seconds before it backtracked in the quickest manner I could never replicate. As soon as it went I booked it back inside.

I was torn about calling the police if neighbors who had heard my scream hadn't.

Behold almost half an hour later the police arrive in my driveway (I told them that I had seen a man in the back yard, leaving out the whole tall demon-sh*t going on.)

I have been contemplating whether it was some creature or some NBA-bound nude meth-head.

Once again, I don't count myself as a "believer" in the bigfoot or mothman but I really don't know what the f**k happened. I'm most definitely not taking the dog out alone anytime soon.

What the hell is was thing? Why was it in a suburban neighborhood ? Should I bother telling my family when they get back? TS

UNEXPLAINED ENCOUNTER OR SIGHTING?

Logger's Bigfoot Encounters in Northern California

I recently received a telephone call from a logger ('JH') in northern California, who has had encounters with Bigfoot. He also tells me about an earlier incident experienced by a group of miners.

JH states that his father was a miner and was working along Coffee Creek in Trinity County. At the time, JH was 9-years-old. One day while his father worked JH went hunting for rabbits. He was carrying a .22 automatic rifle. As he was walking along the trail, he noticed a tall reddish-brown hair-covered being standing about 200 feet ahead of him. This was his first encounter with a Bigfoot. He hightailed it back to his father, leaving the rifle on the trail. JH states his father didn't say much, but that he did believe what JH told him.

When JH was 21-years-old, he was driving near Big Bend, California at around 10 pm. His truck suddenly broke down, so JH decided to walk home in order to grab some tools he needed to fix the vehicle. As he walked along Big Bend Road, he heard grunts above him on the hillside by a long chain-linked retaining fence (used to stop boulders from falling onto the road). He pointed his flashlight in the direction of the noise and witnessed a 7+ foot dark figure with reddish eyeshine, which he identified as a Bigfoot.

JH pulled out his revolver and let off one shot into the air, hoping to scare the Bigfoot away. Instead, the beast let out a high-pitched continuous scream while grabbing and violently shaking the retaining fence. JH said that the fence literally shook along its length of about 500 feet! JH once again fired in the direction of the Bigfoot hoping it would leave, which it finally did.

JH said that his father told him an earlier account several years later. He had been working with a crew of miners along Coffee Creek. They had built a camp with several cabins where they would sleep at night. One day, while they were working, a juvenile Bigfoot had gotten close to the camp. A miner was scared by the young Bigfoot and killed it with his rifle. The body was kept in a vacant cabin. They planned to take it back home with them the following day.

That night, the camp was literally attacked by a group of Bigfoot. Rocks and tree limbs rained down onto the cabins, and breached several of the dwellings. JH said that his father believed that the group numbered 7-8 Bigfoot and that the attack lasted about 15 minutes. None of the miners were killed, but a few sustained significant injuries. During the attack, the dead juvenile Bigfoot was taken.

JH states that every logger he works with is aware of the Bigfoot. Each carries a weapon in case there is a need to protect themselves. JH doesn't condone killing Bigfoot, but he acknowledges that they do exist and that there have been instances of aggression.

JH has agreed to keep in contact with me. Lon

Shadow Figures, Glimmer Men & Creepy Beings

“I don't know what I saw but one time but I was in my front yard when it was raining and I saw something that looked cloaked or like the way 'Predator' looks when he’s invisible jump down from a tree and run towards my gate but in the middle not near the gate door. It looked like something short maybe about 2-3 feet tall. I would have just thought, 'Nah, I'm just seeing things' but my brother-in-law was there with me and saw the same thing. We both looked at each other and said did you see that? That was weird. I don't what it was.” - Gutz Man

-----

“I think I may have seen something similar, I'm not sure if it was this or a shadow man, but I was out walking with a friend just after dark (though the neighborhood was well lit by street lights) and I saw saw a tall, completely black figure run across the street around fifty feet in front of us. Both sides of the street had buildings right next to it, so I couldn't see it before or after it crossed the street, but when it ran across the street it only took one step. The street was only big enough for two cars to barely pass each other, so not huge, but a few years later I asked a friend who was around 6'5" to try to replicate what I saw, and he wasn't able to even at a full sprint. Judging by the buildings lining the road, and what my friend looked like trying to cross the street like that, whatever I saw had to be at least seven and half feet tall.” - Zalander

-----

“I possibly encountered a stick man or a shadow person when I was standing in a turret of a M1151 in Iraq. We just dropped off a convoy at Camp Cedar late one night roughly 23:00 evening time. On the way back down the MSR (Main Supply Route), an hour after being on the road, all I could see was the gun truck's dimmed headlights. I took off my night vision goggles for a moment, wiping my face from the sweat, looking ahead of us, suddenly I seen something - a black shaped figure. It seems he was standing a couple of feet on the road way from our left side, though we was going about 40 mph. My driver suddenly swerved to avoid hitting it. I grabbed the 50 calibre machine gun and the turret switch and turned the turret around as fast as possible as we sped away. I got on the radio and told the truck behind us to look out (possible a Hadji insurgent on the road). They radioed back they didn't see anything. My TC (truck commander, the guy riding shotgun) said 'We almost hit a shadow person!' The story is the other 3 gun trucks, using their night vision goggles, didn't see anything. Freaking creepy. -mjeffblacky

Bigfoot? Wendigo? Dogman? Alien?

There have been several historic tales of large hominids / humanoid beings responsible for unprovoked kidnappings, supposed slayings and human flesh consumption. But do any of these events actually contain facts? Are these multiple beings or one in the same? I have posted a few historic accounts:

Californians Out To Bag Legendary 'Sasquatch'

April 9, 1934 -- Vancouver B.C. (U.P.) America's first sasquatch-catching expedition headed into the mountains of British Columbia to-day on a hunt for the horrible, hairy, naked bogey-man of Indian legend.

J. F. Blakeney and C. K. Blakeney, brothers, of Sacramento, medical students at the University of California, read reports of frightened tribesmen that the giant baby-snatcher of old had been seen recently in the mountain of Harrison Lake and determined to attempt to photograph or lasso a "sasquatch."

The fabled sasquatch, as described in Indian lore for hundreds of years, is about as villainous a phantasm as ever frightened a little papoose anywhere, but adult Indians also are fearful of the monsters.

They are supposed to lurk in caves and glades of British Columbia, coming out in the twilight to peer moodily into Indian teepees, to glower and snatch at children, to steal food, play diabolical tricks, and even kill warriors.

"Our professor of anthropology will be much interested" said the Blakeneys, as they left for the haunts of the sasquatch.

British Columbia is a happy hunting ground for weird legends, and there is no lack of witnesses who will swear to them, as hundreds have sworn they have seen the sheep-headed fresh-water serpent of Lake Okanagan, Ogopogo and the two big saltwater sea-serpents, hiaschuckaluck cadborosaurus and his "wife," Amy. - The Fresno Bee (Fresno, CA), 1934-04-09

“I did not like to tell them that I had been kidnapped by a Sasquatch as if I had told them, they would probably have said ‘ He is crazy too’ ... I told about my prospecting but nothing about being kidnapped by a sasquatch ” - Albert Ostman. (John Green - Sasquatch: The Apes Among Us)

Albert Ostman's sworn testimony

In my younger days, my idea of a vacation was a prospecting trip where I could be by myself and think over my past mistakes and plan what would be best to try next. I have always followed logging and construction work. This time I had worked for over one year on a construction job and thought a good vacation was in order. B.C. is famous for lost gold mines. One is supposed to be at the head of Toba Inlet—why not look for this mine and have a vacation at the same time? I took the Union Steamship boat to Lund, B.C. From there I hired an old Indian to take me to the head of Toba Inlet.

This old Indian was a very talkative old gentleman. He told me stories about gold brought out by a white man from this lost mine. This white man was a very heavy drinker—spent his money freely in saloons. But he had no trouble getting more money. He would be away a few days, then come back with a bag of gold. But one time he went to his mine and never came back. Some people said a Sasquatch had killed him.

At that time I had never heard of Sasquatch. So I asked what kind of an animal he called a Sasquatch. The Indian said, “They have hair all over their bodies, but they are not animals. They are people. Big people living in the mountains. My uncle saw the tracks of one that were two feet long. One old Indian saw one over eight feet tall.”

I told the Indian I didn’t believe in their old fables about mountain giants. It might have been some thousands of years ago, but not nowadays. Continue reading at Albert Ostman's sworn testimony

Native American legend and lore is filled with creatures that sound a lot like Bigfoot in description. One such creature was the "Wendigo". Many legends and stories have circulated over the years about a mysterious creature who was encountered by hunters and campers in the dark forests of Northern Minnesota. In one variation of the story, the creature could only be seen if it faced the witness head-on, because it was so thin that it could not be seen from the side. The spirit was said to have a voracious appetite for human flesh and the many forest dwellers who disappeared over the years were said to be victims of the beast.

The Inuit Indians called the creature by various names, including Wendigo, Witigo, Witiko and Wee-Tee-Go but each of them was roughly translated to mean "the evil spirit that devours mankind". Around 1860, a German explorer translated Wendigo to mean "cannibal" among the tribes along the Great Lakes.

Native American versions of the creature spoke of a gigantic spirit, over fifteen feet tall, that had once been human but had been transformed into a creature by the use of magic. Though all of the descriptions of the creature vary slightly, the Wendigo is generally said to have glowing eyes, long yellowed fangs and overly long tongues. Most have a sallow, yellowish skin but others are said to be matted with hair. They are tall and lanky and are driven by a horrible hunger.


The lore suggest the Wendigo is created whenever a human resorts to cannibalism to survive. In years past, such a practice was possible, although still rare, as many of the tribes and settlers in the region were cut off by the bitter snows and ice of the north woods. Unfortunately, eating another person to survive was sometimes resorted to, so the legend of the Wendigo was created.

It is believed that white settlers to the region took the stories seriously. A Wendigo allegedly made a number of appearances near a town called Rosesu in Northern Minnesota from the late 1800's through the 1920's. Each time that it was reported, an unexpected death followed and finally, it was seen no more.

Native Americans actively believed in, and searched for, the Wendigo. One of the most famous Wendigo hunters was a Cree Indian named Jack Fiddler. He claimed to kill at least 14 of the creatures in his lifetime, although the last murder resulted in his imprisonment at the age of 87. In October 1907, Fiddler and his son, Joseph, were tried for the murder of a Cree Indian woman. They both pleaded guilty to the crime but defended themselves by stating that the woman had been possessed by the spirit of a Wendigo and was on the verge of transforming into one entirely. According to their defense, she had to be killed before she murdered other members of the tribe.

There are still many stories told of Wendigo's that have been seen in northern Ontario, near the Cave of the Wendigo, and around the town of Kenora, where a creature has been spotted by traders, trackers and trappers for decades. There are many who still believe that the Wendigo roams the woods and the prairies of northern Minnesota and Canada.

The Yakama Indians of the Pacific Northwest had a tradition of a "Qah-lin-me", which was a devourer of people and the Hupa Indians called the man-like beasts the "Omah", a demon of the wilderness. The Nisqually tribe of western Washington had the "Tsiatko", which was a gigantic, hairy beast and the "Tenatco" was known by the Kaska. Their creatures were known to dig a hole in the ground as a place to sleep and would sometimes kidnap women and children. Most of the woodland giants in the lore of the Native Americans seem to be more aggressive than the creatures we know as Bigfoot but there is little mistaking them for something else. - excerpts from Where Bigfoot Walks: Crossing the Dark Divide

**********

February 1972 – Northern Minnesota - This is an interview with a man named Brian Sullivan who claims that he had with an encounter with a Wendigo creature in February 1972. He mentions that it was January at the end of the interview but I e-mailed him and he personally confirmed that it was February and that when he was telling the story, he got worked up and got confused.

“On the far side, we found a nice steep hill... we can go sledding. That's what we can do, so we climbed up to the top and we found of the top of that hill was another steep hill so we climbed up to the top of that one and on the top of that one, sitting at another angle to it, was a third steep hill. So we were in hog heaven, we were like 'Man, we're gonna make the ultimate luge run ever. And it was about in the 20s today, the snow's kinda melty, we can make this really great sledding run, it's gonna be awesome. So we spent all afternoon making this awesome sledding run with supers and embankments and everything on it. So we said, it's too wet to use it now. We gotta come back after it freezes again.

So, two days later it was 20 below and it was afternoon, 2nd week in February, 1972. And we said, well, let's go back and go sledding now. It's super cold, it's Friday, school's over – awesome, we'll get in some sledding all day. And we took off with our little sleds and we went back there. Well, each of us made two runs down the hill and we had started out in such a way that I can't remember which one of us got to the top first but one of us was going down the hill while the other one was only about halfway up the second hill. So, when one was the top, the other was at the bottom working our way up. And it was going back and forth. When it was my turn, I was up at the top and I put my little sled down. I had a five or six foot rut right up to the edge of this really steep first hill. And I looked back behind me and all that was on this hill was just barren hardwood trees, mostly smaller ones. A few popples and there was one really huge black spruce that was about 40 feet away from me. I turned around, I was about to jump on my sled but something just didn't seem right, so I turned back and I looked again.

I'm 10 years old. I'm not that observant, I'm like, something just looks different and again something in the back of my head went that's just not right. That's not right. So I turned around and I looked and I went by golly, it's not right. That black spruce only has one trunk, not three. And those two extra trunks have fur on them, well, hair... really long hair. Long grey hair. What's got long grey hair? Is there some kind of snow pants with long hair or something? Ah, it must be somebody pranking me. So I looked up above to where, you know, a teenager or even an adult would be, like maybe 5 or 6 feet but there was just pine branches there then I noticed rustling up above that about three more feet so I looked up above that and up at 9 feet, there was this face looking at me and it had its hands like this (mimics holding tree branches apart with his left hand (lower branch) and his right hand (upper branch) while peering through) holding one branch apart at the top and the bottom, peering down at me and it went (mimics a wide open-mouthed grin) and it grinned. And its face did not look even remotely human. It had a flat nose with two little slits, it had a big thick brow ridge, receding forehead. It was hard to see from up here. I don't know if it had a crest or not because that's where the branch was. When it grinned, I could see all of its teeth. It had upper and lower canines in all of its teeth in its mouth in the front that I could see were all sharp so it was obvious to me this thing was a predator. I found out after the fact actually the only time a great ape would bare its teeth at something is when its trying to scare it so basically it was saying, this is one of the weapons I will use to tear you apart. So at the time, not knowing that but being plenty scared anyway, I leaped on my sled and I flew down that hill as fast as I could. I'm surprised I didn't melt the snow or start the hillside on fire and I didn’t care if I went off one of the supers and killed myself or hit a tree, that was irrelevant, I was just gonna get away from the monster. And about halfway down the hill as I was flying down it and my friend was walking up and saw me coming and he said, 'I didn't even have to guess what was going on, I just saw your face was white, your eyes were bulging and you said: Run like hell! So I jumped on my sled and I was right behind you. Now when I got to the end of the firelane, back at the house, it was about three miles away. I was about 15 minutes if that. For about 10 of those minutes, I was standing there going, “Where was I just at? I'm not waiting for Dave. Why am I waiting for Dave?'

I had hysterical amnesia and completely forgot that whole incident for two years. And finally at one point, my friend Dave, we had this little gathering with me, him and three or four other friends and he said, 'Remember that time we went sledding out there at the end of the firelane? I'm like, 'No.' He said, 'Yeah, we went across that bog and we found those really steep hills, the three of them stacked up?' and I'm like, 'No.' And he goes, 'Yeah, and you were coming down the hill really fast and you said run like hell.' BOOM! And it all came back. 'You asshole, why did you remind of that?' And for like a month, I wouldn't talk to him because it was so traumatic. Actually I'm still getting treated for post traumatic stress to this day and that's one of the things I'm being treated for. When you're ten years old and you see a 9 foot predatory monster which turns out to be the Wendigo, after a few decades of studying, it's not a comforting thing. And it also ruins your belief in authority figures and your parents who told you there's no such thing as monsters. And look, there's a friggin monster right there, don't tell me there's no such thing as monsters. And I see bears all the time. I live a mile from the county dump. There's three or four of them in my yard every week during the summer so it isn't like I'm mistaking it... and this is in the middle of winter, 2nd week in January, twenty below, so bears aren't gonna be up wandering around anyway. Plus, they are not nine feet tall. With eight to ten inch greyish white hair, especially in Minnesota. Although it did have claws on its hand which is another thing that threw me. It took me years to figure that one out because all the Bigfoots they show, including Paddy, didn't have claws or anything like that, it took me a long time to research but the eastern Bigfoot, the Wendigo type, actually does have claws. And gorilla has sharp teeth. So that's it.”

The 'Stickman' Entity

“I saw a stickman entity when I was a kid through the door hole in my parents' flat. I was going to the elementary school so this must have happened in early to mid 90s. Possibly around 1993-1995. This happened in Turkey, city of İzmir. It was a sunny afternoon in April and I was waiting for my friend to come and play PC games together. I heard a sound coming from the apartment's corridor and thought my friend arrived. Went to the door to peek through the door hole. I saw a stickman-like figure standing in front of our neighbor's door. It was not black. It looked like it was made out of clean light brown wood. It had black spheres for hands, feet and head. Visually its body, limbs and the black spheres were identical to giant matchsticks in color and proportion. Even weirder, it was wearing a yellowish fedora hat with transparent dark fabric hanging from the edges. I could still see that it had no facial features through the thin fabric. I was very confused but kept watching it and it did not move for about five seconds. Then it made a slightly quick wavy movement with its arms (like the motion is carried from one arm to the other) and that scared me off. My mom was at home so I ran to her and told her that there's something in the apartment. We saw nothing when we checked back. Later I discarded it as an optical illusion since I saw this through the door hole. Maybe there was some dirt or a bug with long legs on the door hole lens. Years later I found about the stickman, hatman and shadow people phenomenon and that really creeped me out. Below is an illustration I made of the entity I saw that day - Arethrid


-----

“So I saw a stick figure, travelling back roads on the coast of North Carolina in a city called Cape Carteret. It was around 20:30. I distinctly remember looking at my radio for the time a few minutes prior to seeing the entity. I rounded a bend going 80 kmh, maybe a little slower, and out of he corner of my eye, I saw a black incredibly thin creature, with a bulbous head, walking up the side of a ditch towards the road, maybe a meter and a half off the road. Listening to this story it sounds very similar to a stick figure. It moved very fast... robotically almost or comparable to a cartoon. Moving fast and leaving particles of themself behind them.... like swiftly walking up the ditch side. Doing some math, going 80 kmh, I cover 22 meters a second, around 73 feet, I saw the creature for about 3 to 5 seconds and didn’t see anything in my mirror once I passed, albeit the night was upon the land and it was pitch black. What do you all think about this? My location was about 25 miles from a military base, the biggest base on the east coast! To add, 'big foot' and other cryptids have been spotted in the same area!” - Andrew

-----

“OMG I saw one (a stickman entity) last year. I had never heard of this before. It was about 9:30 pm, and I had my two dogs out and we were walking back up the driveway to my house when they both started barking, looking down the street. I looked, and three houses down there was a black stick figure "zipping" up and down my neighbor's driveway. It seemed to 'know' I saw it and it stopped, then started heading our way!! I immediately got panicky when I saw it, and dragged the dogs into the house. I was terrified! I turned out all the lights and I kept looking out the window, feeling like it had come into the yard. Thank God I never saw it again. The dogs saw it first, which validates for me it wasn't my 'imagination', I saw it AFTER they started barking at it. It was only about 4-5 ft tall, I'm bad at measurements by sight It, but it was extremely frightening. It wasn't "walking" it was gliding very fast, almost robotic. I hope I never see it again!” - Renegade therapist

A Few More Newly Compiled Humanoid Encounters - Part III

A few more newly compiled humanoid accounts from the database of Albert S. Rosales:

Location: Brwinow, Mazovia, Poland
Date: 2008
Time: evening

Two young people, about 20 years of age, were walking in the area of Henryk Sienkiewicz Street when at one point their attention was drawn by a strange dark spot against the blue sky that seemed to be moving closer to them.

They remember that the object was shaped like a black square, soon the object began to take the shape of a figure and details began to emerge – as if looking at the base of the Statue of Liberty – first the square base, then the details of the figure, starting with the head, finally taking the shape of a standing person. The figure then flew through area, looking ahead, hands held in front (quite close to the torso) and connected to something that resembled the letter “T” (it looked a bit like a handlebar of a bicycle, only that the horizontal beam was very short). The figure was the same color as the square “platform”, somehow resembling a plastic soldier figurine – it was very dark brown with a reddish tint, or dark wood. For some reason the sight of it felt very strange and even disturbing. It appeared to be a flying man-shaped figure standing in the middle of the platform, holding onto the “handlebars. The personage stood upright on the platform all the time without looking down. They could not tell if it was looking from side to side, but they do not think so. It seemed to be on a specific flight course. It flew at a constant speed, moving forward and slowly rising.

After about 2-3 minutes of observation, it began to take off a bit faster, climbing faster into the distance, then it became too small for them to be able to see any additional details. The square platform was not thick, perhaps the thickness of 3 boards. The witnesses did not notice any type of clothing or implements. The whole thing looked like a motionless figure gliding across the sky. The observation lasted about 3-5 minutes. They never heard any sound. The weather was very sunny and hot.

**********

Location: Angol, Chile
Date: 2008
Time: night

Security guard, Oscar Solar Valdebenito encountered a strange, flying creature in Angol, while making his rounds at the Preventative Custody Center.

Valdebenito reports that he was walking the perimeter around the building with four guard dogs when a winged being flew down and pounced on the canines. The dogs were so frightened by the creature that they raced away from the scene howling. The guard watched as the winged creature flew up and landed on the top of a 30-foot-tall metal pole, causing the pole to shake under the weight. He describes the creature as around four feet tall with a small head. While he was never close enough to make out facial details, he did note two pointed ears on either side of the head. He described the skin as dark gray and devoid of any feathers or fur. The two long wings extended from its shoulders and while the creature perched on the pole, it tucked its wings in like a bird.

The guard also saw two powerful lower legs and a pair of stubby arms just below the neck. The only sound coming from the creature was a sharp, loud squawking cry that reminded the guard of a loudspeaker’s crackle. Valdebenito reports that the encounter terrified him and that he was relieved when the creature flew off over several low hanging power lines and out of sight. He told the authorities that during his encounter, he saw a group of young boys walking along the nearby railroad tracks. They also spotted the creature but fled the area at the sight of the winged humanoid. Authorities were not able to locate the boys.

**********

Location: Granada Hills, California
Date: January 2008
Time: late night

The witness remembers waking up dehydrated, all sore and exhausted, feeling emotionally drained but with no memory or recollection of what had happened. However less than a month later he had his first flashback:

He remembers waking up and instead of being in his bedroom, he found himself in a clear glass cylinder, totally submerged in some kind of warm fluid, thicker than water, thinner than oil. To his surprise he was able to breathe this warm fluid without discomfort. He could also open his eyes without a problem. The solution was clear, of a greenish color and the container was softly lit. He remembers, still fully submerged in this solution that he slowly began to recall the abduction that had taken him away from his bedroom, minutes, maybe hours before. Then he made the connection with the place he was now in and real fear took hold of him. He remembers desperately trying to get out of the container, but he could not move a muscle except for his eyelids. Finally, and all at once, by sheer force of will he was able to regain movement of his limbs. He jumped out of the glass container faster than a spring. Apparently, what he had been breathing while submerged was very different than air because he felt an urgent need to take a big breath of air as soon as he came out.

He was naked and dripping this fluid/solution that was sort of a slimy gel. The place was dark, very steamy with a strange unpleasant smell. To his horror, he saw a row of glass containers, some of them giving off a green-yellowish glow, almost bright in comparison with the poorly lit cave-like room he was in. He panicked and yelling and screaming like a madman, he began to run towards a window of light that he saw at the end of a corridor. The place was huge. The best way to describe it was like some sort of huge, dark, steamy greenhouse cave, very organic in nature. Screaming and running towards the white light, he passed many other containers, all identical to the one he had been in. His impression was that there were a few lit up, probably with people inside, and the rest of them were empty.

Just a few steps before he reached the lighted area, still screaming at the top of his voice, two humanoids came to him from the opposite direction. One of them touched him on the shoulder and he passed out immediately. He doesn’t recall how tall they were but he believes the one that touched him either on his shoulder or on his side was about his height, 5’8”, but he could have been taller. For about a month, he kept having flashbacks of finding himself in this glass cylinder, breathing liquid fluid instead of air. And then, once he regained mobility, trying to run away from the place. After having this first flashback, he knew that something was not right, but he decided to try not to think about it. However, only a month later he experienced his second flashback. He remembered walking up and finding himself this time lying on a table, flat on his back. He believes these beings had already been working on his head for a while and now they were doing some kind of a procedure---first inside one of his eyes and then inside his nose. As he was just regaining consciousness, his memories of them working on his head are pretty fuzzy. However, the recollections became much clearer when the creatures began to work near and on his genitals. He couldn’t see what they were doing, since he could only move his head with great difficulty sideways and not the rest of his body. Whatever they were doing, the procedure was extremely uncomfortable, and he was begging them to stop. There was a total of three beings in the room. One was taller than the other two. The taller one seemed to be in charge and the two little ones acted like robots, sometimes moving together across the room to work on a counter top straight across from where he was lying, and then coming back to the table to keep working on him. The taller one meanwhile, throughout the procedure, would try to console him by mentally telling him in prefect Spanish that it wouldn’t take much longer, asking him to be patient, reassuring him that they were almost done. All these messages were placed directly into his brain. As far as he can remember, none of them ever uttered a single word or sound. He believes he ended up blacking out one more time, before they were through with whatever they were doing to him.

Two months after having this second flashback recollection, he was able to fully bring back to his mind the very frightening memories of the beginning of his abduction. Only then he became more certain that what he had gone through had probably not being just a dream. At one point during the night, he woke from sleep to find the room dimly lit with a greenish-bluish fluorescent glow. The room is very small and immediately he saw by the foot of the bed and surrounded by a greenish fog, three, maybe four small beings, gray in color, with big almond shaped eyes and short in stature. The smell in the room was unpleasant with an unidentifiable bad odor but definitely coming from a living being. He believes he was able to sit up in bed, but he doesn’t recall being able to perform any other movement after that. In spite of his amazement of what he was seeing, he knew he was not dreaming and that these beings standing next to his bed were real. He remembers just repeating to himself over and over, maybe audible but probably just in his mind: “They are real, oh God they are real”.

He feels that the most frightening part of the abduction, even more than being examined, was waking up and finding these creatures standing at the foot of his bed. This flashback, the beginning of the abduction, was the last one to clearly come to his mind and it still frightens him the most. He doesn’t remember if they ‘prepared’ him for the trip, but he began to feel much disoriented. He felt a buzzing sensation, like an electric current going through his body. Previously he had felt the same electricity in the room and on the outside of his skin, but now it was inside him as well. Then he remembers floating upward and incredibly being able to go through the ceiling and roof of his house. He has a very fuzzy memory of seeing, while ascending, some beautiful, colorful lights and not feeling scared anymore. Then his next recollection is being submerged in the warm fluid that he has already described.

He also has some flashbacks of additional events during the abduction. He does not know if the events he will now refer to happened immediately after the physical examination. His impression is that they did.

He was shown a series of slides. He complained that they were coming too fast, but he was told that the speed was right. Apparently, they were not mistaken because, when the show was over, he felt that he had gained a tremendous insight on many issues. He felt as if he had been in a dream his whole life and that just now, he was waking up and gaining a clear understanding of the world around him. He does not recall the reason or reasons he felt so enlightened after seeing these slides. Above all considering that some of the images shown were just disasters taking place on Earth, like volcanoes erupting, earthquakes and big nuclear explosions. In the same room he was able to see his whole life projected into images, extremely fast. I had the feeling that everything inside his brain, past memories, sensations, experiences, was also being watched and recorded by some kind of a device linked to him through the chair he was sitting on. He was taken into a small room to meet the hybrids. His memory here is very fuzzy. However, he remembers being introduced to a kid who was related to him and apparently the product of the procedures done to him during his physical examination. The boy looked sick, very pale and with thin blue veins all over his face and body. In spite of his sickly appearance and not looking entirely human, the witness felt immediately a strong connection to him, and he knew as soon as he looked into his eyes that they were closely related, like father and son. They talked for a while, himself doing most of the talking, probably also using telepathy but he is not quite sure. When he was finally told that it was time to leave, they both cried with tears. The separation was very difficult.

He remembers walking in a desert under a strong sun. He felt weird because he was naked. It was some kind of a test experiment. He was either not understanding the instructions or not paying attention. He felt that they were disappointed with his performance. The witness had a last recollection/flashback a few weeks ago:

After floating upwards and going out through the ceiling and roof of his house, he was taken inside a park, three blocks from his place. There, he (and two short gray beings) had to wait on a hiking trail for transport. It was cold and he remembers starting to shiver from the temperature, having only a thin t-shirt and boxers on. He then received a telepathic message from one of these little beings that he/she understood how cold he was, but it was now just a matter of another minute or two to be picked up. While waiting he did not feel scared just very cold. Then he saw some bright colorful lights moving up above them and he began to ascend towards them. He doesn’t know if any of these creatures used the same method to reach the craft since while going up, he was just staring at the lights coming ever closer and closer and not paying attention to the ground or the whereabouts of his little companions.

Old Hag Syndrome...or Something Else?

Lisa in Florida called to tell of her strange encounter:

“I'm 52 years old. My first experience is with one entity that would be, I guess, would be similar to her (the topic of the show that evening was La Llorona and The Old Hag). This happened when I was 18 years old. I'm in West Palm Beach, Florida now but I lived in Chicago. That's where I was born and raised. This was on the south side of Chicago in the Hyde Park area where I was living with my boyfriend at the time and his mother. And I was pregnant at the time. I only have one child and so, well, one morning my son's dad woke up to go to work. You now, we ate breakfast, he left and I fell back to sleep. And then, all of a sudden, I felt something like mount me. Like get on my back. Literally get on top of me. I was like, 'What's on me?' Then all of a sudden I felt like I couldn't move and I looked over my left shoulder, I looked up and there was this woman on my back. She had on like this tattered greyish white clothing. She looked so scary. She was looking over. She's looking down at me. Now I'm 18 years old. I've never heard of anything like this ever happening. No one in my family ever really talked about anything like this before ever happening to them so it was, like, very weird. I was pregnant with my son. I was about, I'm gonna say 7 months pregnant with my son. Maybe a little bit more towards 8 months, like, almost my due date. And then when I looked at her, she was just so scary and so big and like on me and holding me down and I was literally fighting, trying to grab... because my bed was right by the door of the bedroom and I was, like, trying to reach for the door knob to try and open up the door to get out. My boyfriend's mother was in her bedroom and she was sleeping and so I was trying to open up the door and trying to scream and trying to, like, scream to her to let her know that something's happening to me. And this woman, this witch or hag or whatever you want to call it, she was on back and she was, like, throwing her hands back, and she was laughing and cackling and almost, like, screaming, like, going berserk and she wouldn't let me go and pushing me down. Finally she just let me go and I looked back and she kind of disappeared back into nowhere. I literally just grabbed the door and ran so fast. I kicked in my mother-in-law's door at the time and she was like, 'What's going on? 'What's happening?' I was like, 'There's this lady, she was in my room. She was on my back.'”
