Unexplained Personal Experiences

Closed For The Season

“My wife met me after work at a campground I reserved in Sugarloaf State Park in Sonoma County, California. There were people everywhere and that Friday was busy up there. She and I set up the tent and decided to make a fire and relax. That's all I remember of her being there. I woke up in the tent and all the blankets were gone, she was gone and I was the only camper in the park which was impossible because there were no other spots and I had to reserve mine a day in advance. It was pitch black about 3AM. I have no recollection of falling asleep and was frantically running around to find out what happened. The ranger kiosk was closed and there was a sign on the window that made my heart jump up into my throat. CLOSED FOR THE SEASON. That was scary. Very scary. Besides me being the ONLY person in the entire campground. The story gets even stranger. I drove to the house and there was her car in the driveway. I went upstairs to try to figure out what the heck was going on and she jumped up and with a worried look asked me where the hell have I been? She never went to Sugarloaf because the park was closed for the season. She wouldn’t listen to me because it made no sense. It didn’t make sense. I have to admit but I can’t understand how that could have taken place. True story that I still can’t explain.” - Terry Rich

Grandpa In My Ear

I was born in Eastern New Mexico, but was dragged out east when my mother remarried. My grandfather (mother's father) was a self-made man, no-nonsense, didn't mince words kind of a guy. Not the type of grandpa that would dote on his children and give 'em candy and such, however he was a man that deserved and earned tons of respect. (As an example: my grandfather taught me how to play poker at age 12. He taught me how to bet, how to figure out if I had a good hand or whatever. What he didn't teach me is how to have a poker face. Long story short; he took me for the entire contents of my piggy bank. No, he didn't give it back.)

Grandpa always had a soft spot for me, but that manifested in him just being open and honest about how good or how crappy life could be. So when he passed away in 1999, I went back to New Mexico to be a pallbearer. I went to the funeral home and took a seat up front, just sitting there and waiting for the people to fill in, and to sit and reflect on my time with Grandpa.

So I'm sitting there all alone with my thoughts and memories and out of nowhere a voice in my left ear says "what do you think all these people really think about the dead sonuvabitch in the box?"

I look around and the nearest person is about 4 pews behind me, so there's no way he could have said anything in my ear. Besides that, who would say that about my grandpa? The only one I know that would say it would have been him. He would have said it, grinned ear to ear and then popped that nasty cigar stub back into his mouth.

I heard that voice 2 other times after that...one time it told me to "tell your sister to take care of that towhead." (Her son has blonde hair.) And the last was "You might wanna slow down around this corner, there's a lot of deer out." Sure enough, I turned the corner and there's a doe in the middle of the roadway. EH

Friend Saw His Own Ghost

“A friend of mine that I have known for 40 years told me a story of when he was a kid he lived in New York in a tenement house. His aunt lived downstairs and his family lived upstairs. One day he came home from school feeling really sick. His aunt said lay down on the couch, Jackie. He was laying there when he heard a noise from the kitchen and a young man walked out with a sandwich in his hand, looked straight at him with surprise and turned around and walked back into the kitchen. He freaked out and called his aunt and said, 'someone's in the house'. She looked and assured him they were alone and he was just delirious. Years later when he was 19, he was in his aunt's house making a sandwich and walked out to see a young boy on the couch. The moment he saw the boy, he knew it was him from another time. It spooked him so bad that he turned right around and walked back into the kitchen. Then gaining strength, he walked back to see everything was back to normal, no kid on the couch. Like I said, I've known this guy for 40 years, he's a businessman and a no nonsense kind of guy. I totally believe him. It's freaky to see all these other stories with the same twist!” - coco2mo

Stalked by Creepy Fisherman

I recently found the following account:

This encounter takes place when I was 13, June at the time. Myself and three of my friends, aged 13-14, who I'll call Sam, Cam and Ned, take a four-day camping trip on the Wisconsin River in Southernish Wisconsin. I have a LetsNotMeet story for just about every state park or natural area of note in the state of Wisconsin, many involving this gang of kids. I Just remembered this one today so I thought I'd share. For those of you who aren't familiar, the Wisconsin River is relatively long, relatively wide, and has long shallow stretches as deep as a couple inches to a couple feet; you have to walk your canoe through some of it. Moist sandbars run down the middle of the river.

The adult on our trip was Cam's grandma. Even well into her 60s, she had wilderness skills. She has incredible stories, from viciously biting home invaders to protect her daughter, to hiking through remote mountains at midnight and sleeping surrounded by wild horses. Major "peace, love, and happiness" type from the 60s. One of the most fascinating people I've ever met.

Anyway, we set up camp on a beach about 3pm on our first day. There's a lone, still fisherman slightly upriver from us. This is strange given we're mostly in the middle of nowhere, but there are occupied properties here and there on the river, so it's not crazy. Immediately after we arrive, grandma realizes she forgot her coffee cup in the car. What the hell, grandma. She decides to make the kayak trip by herself back upriver to where we parked, just to grab the cup and come back. Left alone, us boys go off to play in the river shallows.

Landscape-wise, there's our beach, with dense forest behind it, and a strait about 90 meters across between the beach and a sandbar. We're screwing around in the shallows for maybe 30 minutes. Then I remember being on my stomach in the water and looking up at Sam staring all glazed into the distance. We all look. The fisherman from earlier is on the sandbar about 50 feet from us. None of us remember him getting so close, especially since he has no boat and would have to wade through the water. I remember there being a strange glare from the sun so we couldn't make him out perfectly, but he was a thick man with a droopy long-brimmed hat. We could not see his face but collectively had the feeling he was looking at us. It was obvious he knew our adult left, and decided to close in. The timing was perfect. "Whatever," we say and head back to the tent.

We're behind the tent for maybe a half hour playing cards and gathering firewood. We take turns peeking around the tent to check on the status of the fisherman. He's moved in, off the sandbar, through the shallows, practically on the shore of our beach. Yes, the river is an open area, but it's unspoken that you wouldn't wander onto someone's campsite, especially when kids are alone there. We're weirded out, and Sam, being a badass 13 year old, breaks the ice by waving his arms and yelling at the man "hey! what's up! hey!" No response, but man turns his body towards us, staring, completely still, like wildlife caught in headlights, or Bigfoot in one of those blurry photos. After a few seconds, he does a 180 and just starts walking away from us straight back into the water, like he intends to keep walking until the water comes up around his face. Cam says something along the lines of "what the hell, Sam" and we move to hang out at the other end of the beach.

It's been 3 and a half hours since grandma left, and we have no idea when she's supposed to be back. We're on the complete opposite side of the beach from our camp, and due to the forest we couldn't even see it. But as we round the bend again, we see the man standing on the shore, practically on our campsite. He's walking around our bags, like he's patrolling the perimeter of the camp. Not his camp, our camp. Little more than a silhouette. And he has something. Not a fishing pole. I was never brave enough to get close and check it out in detail, but all three of my friends will tell you he had a rifle. Over his shoulder. From where he got it we don't know. He should've been able to see us from where he was, but he didn't close in any more. We decide to play it cool all the way over behind the trees where we are. Luckily, grandma arrives on her kayak shortly. We call her over to us to tell her everything, but I swear to you, by the time we pointed over her shoulder to show her the fisherman, he was gone. Like a vision. We saw him one more time, late that night we were having a fire. The moonlight on the water illuminated his shape all the way back across the river where we saw him the first time, fishing in darkness. We said "f*ck that guy" and went back to making torches.

I remember digging my phone out of the waterproof box, and trying to send this blurry, creepy picture of the fisherman to my friend as proof. Due to connection, she never got the image, but one text message went through to her that read something like "He's back. He's like a weeping angel or something, coming closer only when you look away. I wonder if he'll be in my tent when I wake up." - BD

Accounts of High Strangeness

BEK Invited In

Jessie in Pennsylvania called in to tell of his weird black eyed kid experience:

“A couple of years ago, I had an incident where I had an encounter with a black eyed child in my townhouse. I woke up in the middle of the night and I looked out the door of my bedroom and there was a black eyed child standing there in pyjamas, very malnourished, reaching out, crying for help. I said, 'If you need help, you gotta come in here.' And he kept crying and crying and he said, 'I can't come in, the man won't let me.' Well, I said, 'I'm not coming out the door, you gotta come in here. If you need help that bad, you gotta come in here.' And he wouldn't move. He just kept crying. And I was not going to deal with that, so I just rolled over and went back to sleep. I didn't want to deal with it. He was in my townhouse already but he wouldn't come in my bedroom. He stood outside the door of my bedroom, crying for help. I thought it was a ghost. I was freaked out. I rolled over and went back to sleep.”

Kid in Yellow Jumpsuit

“My son, when he was around age 5 or 7? He told me he was in his room when he was visited by a kid-like being who played with him until the being's Mother or entity called it to come home! Honest to God! My son never lies and I believe him. In 1986 before this happened I was taking a photo of the sunset outside the living room window and got some oval orbs on camera from a series of photos, blink and they were gone. Tried many times to duplicate it or have Unknowns show up in sunset or sunrise pictures. My son's encounter took place in Downey, California possibly around year 1992-1994 he said. I just asked him and he said the guy was wearing a yellow color jumpsuit and his Mother was very loud when she went to get him. My son said he wondered if he somehow made the being angry from his cue she was booming loud. My son was around 8 at the time he said. On Downey Ave near Florence he had his encounter. In our old apartment in his room which was very quiet, I might've been at work. I hate answering my comment but I had to ask him being I read this had happened to someone else...!...” - Linda Whalen

Three Small Beings

“Thirty-eight years ago, my mom, my moms best friend, and her twin sons, who were my best friends, all seen three small long armed 3 1/2 ft people. Then, when I ran down to see them with the twins while our moms were yelling at us to come back. We got 10-15 foot away from them before they turned around ran and jumped over the tree line which at the time was about 8-10ft tall. All three of us got the beatings of our lives for not listening them. My mom called the cops and they wrote down everything we told them. My mom asked if they was going to go look for them in the woody area and the cop said 'No, hell no'. They were scared just as much as we were. I know what I saw!” - Vvs1 LooseStones

Upright 'Horned Werewolf' in Gloucestershire

The following is a new account I recently found:

I don’t even know how to explain this but I’m not the sort to believe in ghosts, devils, demons and cryptids...but this has changed my mind drastically.

I live in the United Kingdom and live in the countryside. I live on a moderately busy lane and have loads of fields behind my house. 5 minutes up the road there’s a hill, it’s called Cole Peak (changed for privacy) in Gloucestershire. It’s about 6 fields away from my house and 5 minute walk from the road.

Me and my 2 mates go to the peak that overlooks our town and can see the Severn Bridge and a place called Stone House. They smoke weed but I don’t so I can’t blame it on the weed. We sat up the top for a good hour chilling, we decide to go home as it’s around 2am. They walk the road way as it leads to town where they live and I decided to walk to field way as I didn’t wanna walk down the road on my own after my mates turn off, so to get to the fields you have to walk through a little forest for around 1-2 minutes, it was pitch black, moon shining bright, stars in the sky. As I said before I don’t get scared so I wasn’t that bothered, I got around 2/3 through the forest when I hear sticks cracking to my left as if something heavy was walking, I just glance over and presume it was a fox or badger. I get towards the gate and open it as it leads into the fields that lead to my house. I close the gate and start to walk and that’s when I heard something I will never forget, it sounded like minecraft creeper but a lot more deeper sounding and bigger. I turn around and on the path I can see this thing, around 6ft tall skinny as f*ck, head shaped like a dog and had horns.

I thought my eyes were playing tricks so I just stood there watching it hoping it was going to vanish. Well to my surprise after around 5 seconds it started to very slowly walk closer and closer until it got to the gate, it was like it didn’t know what to do except just stand there. I was sweating, had red vision and thought I was going to have a anxiety attack. I slowly walked across the field trying to figure out what the f*ck it was. I looked back about half way across the field and it was gone. Sigh of relief, can finally calm down and just take a nice walk home. Yeah that’s what I was hoping for. I was in the last field from my house, house in view. I knew all I had to do was jump over my fence and I was in my garden. I got to my fence and hopped over, I felt safe and secure. I was walking across my garden to get to the back door and behind me my drive light came on. Now this light only comes on if it detects motion or it’s really windy and a branch sways in front of it, it wasn’t windy nor did I walk past it. All of a sudden I had this fear of getting snatched so I quickly run to my back door, open it and run to my attic converted room. My sky light window looks over my drive where the light came on and I stood on my bed and looked out the window. That’s when I seen this werewolf looking thing with horns, stood there sniffing around the cars. It wasn’t a dog, it wasn’t small enough to be a badger or a fox and wasn’t a cow or anything like that. I got into bed and just watched movies till the sun came up and slept then.

Ever since then I never look out my window at night and never walk through those fields.

I honestly don’t know what this thing was but it scared the sh*t out of me I won’t go out in my garden past 11pm. CBD

The eyewitness included this follow-up:

This was last weekend, Friday night (December 7, 2018), really cold night that’s why we only stayed for an hour on that peak.

It could have been a dude in a mask first sighting, but the chances of that are really, really slim as I’ve lived here 15 years now and pretty much know 90% of the town and have never heard of anyone saying anything about scary sighting or anything along those lines. The thing by the cars was definitely not a man in a mask. It wasn’t small horns, it looked like horns that had a few horns coming off it. I don’t know what it was but I definitely don’t want to see or be in view of it again.

NOTE: from the description of the area, I believe this occurred in 'The Cotswolds' (known for a myriad of strange activity) or a location just across the Severn River. Wendigo, Fleshgait, etc...who knows. BTW, there was a Sherlock Holmes case titled 'The Cotswolds Werewolf.' Lon

Light Beam Chased Sister

“I had a strange experience when I was 17 in Arizona. My sister seen it also. It was a blue blue beam that left a base ball size dot on ground. It would not come near me but chased my sister. I stayed between her and it. I am very sure it moved to circumvent me and get to her. It was stormy and I could see the beam was vertical. It stopped after about a couple of minutes. When we told about it I was told Vandenberg tested missiles all the time and then exploded them in upper atmosphere. And caused strange light phenomena. I have always wondered about it. No clue but the way it chased my sister it had intent. I do not believe the explanation given. But no clue what it was.” - 7curiogeo

Black Triangles

“I saw the black triangles once, back in the 90s, Clarksville Indiana. There were three of them flying together. They had no sound, no lights, and each took up about the space of a full moon--couldn't tell how high they were. They were kind of a metallic dark gray. It spooked my girlfriend out so much that she took off running for the car. If I had to guess, I'd say it was more like secret technology than aliens. Either way, I've 100% confirmed to myself that at the very least, there are indeed secrets out there (the triangles did nothing fancy, just kept a slow heading).” - Shane Riddian

**********

Piece of Mystery Metal

“I saw a UFO in 1959 and ran to get my father to see it. He told me I was crazy. So, I ran and got our neighbor and she saw it also. That is something you never forget. I assume it was over the US Airbase in Duluth, Minnesota. That is the direction I was looking. Also in 1956, my brother came home with some shiny material from one of the iron ore mine dumps. Mom called the local paper to tell them about it and they claimed it was a piece of a weather balloon and would send someone to pick it up. To our surprise it was a high up military man that came to get it. What was mystifying was the fact that it could not be cut. So, you tell me, what was it?” - Sandra McManus

Police Helicopter / Shapeshifting UFO

“About thirty years ago I was in the backyard. I smoked at the time. I heard the police helicopter and moved to where I could see it. I thought at first there was two helicopters. I don’t smoke wacky backy and I hadn’t had a drink. The copter was hovering and obviously looking at this object. The object looked like a railway carriage and was rotating in the air. The copter moved backwards and to the side out of its path. My wife was in the back living room and I waved and shouted for her to come out. The carriage had now become a disc it had moved further to my left and pointed to where it was originally the wife looked at me puzzled I was red faced. We were about to go in when it appeared right above us it was massive. An arm rotated around like the minute hand on a clock but anti clockwise. With each rotation it changed colour red green and white but pastel colours. The wife and me were shocked we couldn’t move. Just then we heard the police helicopter approaching. The UFO began to become invisible. It broke up into pixels. By the time the copter raced overhead, the UFO had disappeared. My wife didn’t believe in anything like that she does now and avidly reads anything on them and scans YouTube on the subject. Totally amazing and will live with us forever.” - bilo10

Bigfoot Vanishes...Later, A Flash Of Light

“I saw something about three months ago. It all lasted no more than five seconds but it is etched into my memory. Uneventful but very real and spectacular. I've told nobody yet. I never felt like I should bring it up and it was meant just for me. It was August 2018 at 6:10 am in upstate New York in the Adirondacks area. I often left bread, nuts, fruit and vegetable scraps thrown in the yard. I enjoyed watching the birds, squirrels, chipmunks, rabbits, deer, fox, raven and crows eat the food I fed them. I could sit out there with my morning coffee. The critters did not mind me being there. I would talk and pretend I was conversing with them. This went on for months. I would sit here in the yard as the sun would go down. Another animal feeding time. Sometimes I would go out late and very late for a smoke. Again I would walk around in silence listening and enjoying nature. A remote and wooded area. "The woods" if you will. Sounds like I'm rambling but I'm setting the scene and my pattern of behaviour. Not uncommon for me to be here day or night.

So, one morning I go out the back door for coffee and a smoke. I'm standing at the back door breathing in the fresh morning air and take a sip of coffee. Nothing is out of normal. Birds chirping and critters moving about. Then I hear a "snort" like a deer would do. I look exactly where it came from. Maybe 100 or less feet away. The woods have the morning light shining on the line of trees but beyond that was still mostly dark. I could see about 20 feet into the tree line. I don't see a deer. Within two seconds of the first snort I hear another one as I am still looking but not seeing a deer. Something steps out from behind a tree. Its left side is facing me. All I could see was a large black shape step out. It stands there for maybe a few seconds. I know what I was looking at but I had no reaction other than just watching. It made a noise but not the snorting kind. Then it walked into the woods. Not only did I see and hear it walk away but I felt it in the ground. Like it was hollow and vibrated. No breaking or snapping branches just footsteps. Almost like an echo in the ground. After about six steps it was gone. Nothing changed. Same bird's and critters moving about. Unaffected. I stood there processing what had just happened over the last few seconds. Other than the echoing thuds of footsteps it was silent.

When I realized that, I walked forward slowly to the spot. Not sure what I would see. Nothing. Where it was standing the ground was covered with fallen and old branches. You, nor I or a ninja could have walked through here silently. I judge the height an easy 8 feet tall. Based on its head height relative to the tree it stood next to. I stood there looking around with no sounds. I walked back to the picnic table and sat on it. Still everything is as normal. After the coffee and smoke, and observing the wildlife, I go and head inside. As I reach for the door knob I feel like I should turn around. So I do and scan the tree line again. Nothing. Just as I turn the knob while facing the door I see a flash of light like a camera flash. Like someone behind me just took a picture. Instantly I got goosebumps. My hairs stood right up and felt like I couldn't get inside quick enough. Strange but uneventful and very memorable. It had to have watched me for at least ten seconds before it moved. Haven't seen it since. It wanted me to know it was there. This thing was massive.” - John Wesch

Phone Call From A Nightmare

“When cell phones first started to get popular my mom bought me, my sis and herself all a new cell phone...on the condition that if she called that we always answer no matter what. No excuses. Every time.

One night I was walking up my long country driveway after we had a big snowstorm. I had a 2wd car and couldn’t make it up so I would park at the bottom. I started walking and my phone went off. It was a text from my mom, but there was no message. Just a blank screen. As I was holding it the phone went off again and again and again. One after another. About 10 times. All text messages from my mom with no message. Just blank. I was thinking what the hell is this. Then my phone rang right when I was at the door. It was my mom. I said hello and the first thing she said was, 'I have been texting you why didn’t you respond? Where are you? What are you doing?' I said, 'Mom I am literally walking in the door right now.' Which I was. Most nights my mom slept on the couch because my dad is a crazy dreamer. He would kick and punch my mom in his sleep. The couch was perfectly visible from the front door when you walked inside my house.

Anyways all the lights were off in my house as I walked in. I was just telling my mom I was walking in the door she said she really needed to talk to me when I got inside. To come talk to her. I was kicking off my shoes at that point and I couldn't see anything. I said, 'Ok' and my mom said, 'I love you.' I said, 'I love you too' the moment I was flipping the light switch to the walk in light inside my house where everyone took off their shoes. I was literally looking at my mom fast asleep snoring on the couch as I was saying, 'I... love.. you... Too.' Then I was looking at my mom sleeping as I heard the phone click from the caller on the other end hanging up. It couldn’t have been my mom. I was so confused and scared and just in shock. My brain could not compute what happened. As I was standing there shaking and trying to grasp what happened I could hear my mom moaning in her sleep. She was obviously having a bad dream. A nightmare. I turned on the living room light and I shook my mom awake. She flew up into a sitting position in a panic. Tears in her eyes. She was in full mom panic mode. She said she was having the worse dream that I had been killed in a car crash. She explained how she was desperately trying to call me and text me in her dream, but she couldn’t dial the numbers right. No matter how hard she tried to open up a line of communication with me she couldn’t get her cellphone to work right. Which I have had the same kind of nightmare myself. Udder frustration and panic. As she told me about her dream I must have turned white from pure shock and confusion. She noticed and asked me what was wrong with me. I told her what happened. How she had texted me a bunch of times with blank messages back to back 10 times and I also told her about the phone call. I told her exactly what happened.

We were just dumbfounded is the only way I can put it. Just pure confusion and excitement at the same time. There are no words to describe the way I felt that night. We decided to look at our call history on our phones, but there was none. It was like it never happened, but it did happen. As sure as the sky is blue. I know it happened. My mom knew I was telling the truth too. When the phone bill arrived that month there was no record of what happened in the statement either. Super strange. Super weird. I will never forget what happened that night. It changed me forever. I don’t discount crazy stories people tell because I know crazy sh*t and impossible sh*t happens. I know because it happened to me!” - Eyeseeu

Horrific Humanoid Encounter

Vihti, Finland - 2018-09-30 - 21:00: We were watching TV. TV and computer go black but lights stayed on. Outside (and inside) went totally silent. I went to kitchen window to look, there was a black car-sized totally black object that was flashing red to blue lights. Suddenly my wife was at front door with two (2) black man-sized things. They had black overalls and faces were blurry. I yelled to them to leave and to my wife to run upstairs to get our daughter to safety, but she didn't move. Black man-like abductors came inside to our entry room and I tried to run but they launched some magnetic beam and my legs stopped moving totally and I fell down. They came besides me and put some metal cage around my head and it started to flash white brite light an then I had huge pain in my head. They beat our dogs (and didn't heal them), they controlled my wife, she was dull, even as I was crying in pain she said to shut up as I had no reason to cry. Her eyes had black/red rings around and she moved strangely.

After I woke they made me walk upstairs to my bed. The one with me commanded me to masturbate, but I couldn't. He walked me to my daughter's room. There was the other abductor standing and my wife and daughter naked at bed. Both lying in bridge-like posture and their eyes were round and had black-read rings and talked dull to me. I cried to them to run away but my wife talked again like I was crazy and to do what I was told to. I cried I can't masturbate, so they took me back to our own bedroom and they stuffed some apparatus to my anus. I passed out again. When I woke they had human-like faces and started to beat me. They stuffed a knife to my right leg and my nose was broken. Then other alien took me to toilet and I saw from mirror my poor reflection as I was naked and bleeding all over. They said they need/took my sperm and they would cultivate/replicate my offspring for lab-test objects. I felt terrified. After that they used some stone-like object and fixed all the damages.

It took couple of months to remember this all. My family doesn't remember anything about this. - MUFON

Recently Reported 'Close Encounters'

There as been an influx of close encounters reported lately. Here are a few:

Woke to Strange Marks

Boise, Idaho - 2018-11-07: Fell asleep around 11:30pm in my recliner watching TV. I woke up at 1:30am to move to the bedroom and upon relieving myself in the bathroom noticed these scratches. They are very orderly, evenly spaced and run from my arm down to my hip. While they look and feel like scratches, with some of the dots being deep enough to form scabs, the bottom along the hip has perpendicular marks. There is nothing in my house that could have caused this by accidentally running into it. They could be burn marks as well. It’s hard to tell. My wife has no idea what this could be and we are both very baffled by what could have caused this.

Now 3 days after the incident the wounds are very likely burn marks as the marks have not faded. I have also spent quite a bit of effort looking over my entire property for any grill or grate that could have made this but have not been able to find anything that would match the pattern. - MUFON

Chased by 2 Beings

Buckie (UK/Scotland) - 11/26/2018 02:00: I was walking home during my night walk with my dog. I heard a commotion in the tree line and what I saw was 2 things arguing in the clearing. They were about 3 to 4 feet tall. At first I thought it was children but not at this time in the woods. They saw me and then they shown a really bright light towards me. I ran, then I heard them. I never believed in UFOs. - NUFORC

Experiences Driving Me Crazy!

Indiana - 2018-11-26: The thing about getting abducted is your made to forget! I've been abducted a few times and my mental state will never be the same again. Even though they make you forget about it, a part in your brain still remembers and I have the worst nightmares that you can think off. I hear super high pitched ringing in my ears all the time. I wasn't scared of much, but know the slightest 'bam' makes me jump.

The last time I was abducted was this last Thanksgiving. My family, some of my cousins and I go up to my grandparent's house in Indiana for Thanksgiving. My grandparents live in the country, in the middle of nowhere by the Wabash River in Indiana and one night one of my cousins and I go for a walk to look at the stars. We see like 3 small stars. like balls of light through the tree across the river on the other side and we don't find out until later that there's nothing but woods over there. No houses or anything. The lights are flashing white and red and they're moving in like a circle. So I know it wasn't a plane or anything and the lights were like eye level with us. We go inside and all of a sudden a super bright light comes in from all of the windows in the house, but somehow it seems to be coming from the sky. After that I don't remember much of what happened after that, except this one memory that I have of people screaming in the dark, but it's not dark and me not knowing were I am.

The next morning I woke up only in my underwear and I always sleep with a shirt on, and I had 3 marks on my left shoulder/arm that I don't have a pic of and another mark on the exact opposite side of my heart on my chest. The mark is like 3 centimeters tall and 4 wide and it's almost like a red circle. Right after we left, my grandpa had this huge purple/green/yellow bruise on his arm. He went to the doctor and no one knows were it came from. If someone is reading this I just want to say thank you for taking your time reading this story. I just feel like everyone thinks I'm crazy, but I just can't stop thinking about this and its driving me crazy! MUFON

I've Made Contact

Tatamagouche, NS, Canada - 2018-12-10 - 03:00: Was out in the garage, playing a game, smoking some cigarettes just doing my thing. The truth is I just felt off. Had to get some air. I was standing there when I noticed this light getting closer. Fast. But it was far and I just looked at my phone and looked back and it wasn’t more than a mile out. Sitting there. In seconds, without making a noise, it showed up. Landed.

At this point I felt like I was dreaming. I was thinking things like words that I didn’t understand. But then it starts to come together in weird radio, song, tv, voices. Like little sections of them in my head making sentences. But I was so confused at what I was seeing I never picture this was real. And then, one came out. Followed by a second slightly taller one, and they motioned for me to come here with their minds, is the only way to explain it. As I got closer, my knees and elbows started to get weak and stiff. And I blacked out. Woke up on the lawn. I don’t know what to do. Who should I tell. No one is going to believe me. I live in a small country town. This can’t be. - MUFON

Little Green Aliens

Quebec, Canada - 2018-11-23 - 04:15: At the moment I was sleeping and felt like I woke up and saw green little aliens (as witnessed by the media) however they looked friendly and were not there to harm me but study me and make me more intelligent. Their research of study was about electromagnetic colors' cause & effect on human brain & emotion. One of the aliens put a type of satellite looking crown on the head meanwhile others aliens were collecting notes and with his digital fingers was pushing every button of each color spectrum on it and saw the color red (bright light like a radar) was best match as to fit a profile of a joyous state in my emotional brain. He took off with his crew in satellite.

As soon as I woke up I felt smarter and the evidence is some work online. I can do a more rapid research and I have more interest and understanding in the sciences like in stem cells.

I do not know if I have been abducted or invaded. I felt I was in my room but my room looked exactly like a surgical room of the hospital unit and in an alien movie. I research forums where people write about their experiences of extraterrestrials and now I know why there are so many movies out there and why they are so popular.

I have seen some green monitor outside my house in the sky; like reporting on the news. I have seen an alien in my dream before in human form as a college librarian, assembling the papers of my research. - MUFON

NOTE: I don't know if this is related to David Eckhart and my other current experiencer case in any way, but there has been a noticeable increase of close encounter reports at the reporting agencies recently. Lon

Red Eyes in the Desert

Somewhere near Presidio, Texas, USA. Jack in Texas called in to tell of a strange experience a co-worker had:

“Back in 1979, we owned a ranch that was about 70 or 80 miles away from Abilene. I was living on the ranch at that time. We had a documented worker who was in a very remote area in Mexico. He was very much out in the middle of nowhere to start with, no transportation so he had to walk 30 miles to get close to Presidio and we could go pick him up at the border. Presidio being not too far away from the Marfa Lights, but this area he was walking through was very much desert terrain and I remember, it was in December, around the holiday time, the weather was not cold. It was kind of hot. He was having to walk. He walked at night because it was so hot during the day and he was telling me this story.

We were building a fence and we were just talking and everything and he was telling me about, well, I asked him about Chupacabra and he's talking and he said, 'One time,' he was telling me in Spanish, 'One time, I was walking,' and he said, 'a strange person came, appeared out of nowhere.' and he said, 'there was a little bit of moonlight, he could see where he was going.' He was trying his best to describe this guy, he said, talking about his... I said, 'What did he wear?' And he was trying to tell me what the guy had on. He said, 'I couldn't see his face. He had something over his head.' I said, 'Was it a sombrero?' He said, 'No.' It turned out, he described, it was a hoodie. But that was, gosh, that was a long time ago. Hoodies were still popular, but, he was telling me about this person, he was hard to understand, he was telling me in Spanish, and he asked him, he told him in Spanish, 'Is it time for your food?' And he said, 'I thought that was weird because, you know, when somebody wanted food they'd say, Can I have some of your food or something like that? And I kind of related to what you were talking about awhile ago (David Weatherly, the guest, earlier in the show, described a BEK account in which a black eyed kid asked a man if it was 'food time').

He was religious man, he was very very scared. He started crying. And he was telling me about this, and he was describing this person and he said, 'It's time for your food?' and Miguel just kind of, he didn't know what to do. Then he said his eyes turned to red. You gotta remember, this was 2 or 3 in the morning and nobody was around for 15 or 20 miles, so. No towns or anything close. And Miguel said he was so scared, he dropped to his knees when this person, or whatever it was, had red eyes, all he could see was the red eyes and he started praying and he kept praying and praying and he was crying and everything. He was crying when he was telling this story. I said, 'Miguel, it's okay' and he said he needed to talk about it. He had held it in for a long time. And he prayed, prayed, prayed, he said it seemed like for 15 minutes and when he looked up, the guy, the person, was gone. And I told him myself, 'That's a strange deal.'”
