Three Hooded Figures on the Road

Jim in New York called in to tell of a strange encounter he had:

“I don’t know where to start but...first of all, I’m not going to give my exact location. I'm a police officer in upstate New York. I was going to the store the other night. Actually, it was Sunday night (December 8, 2013) a little bit after, I want to say 9:00 or 9:15, going down a road that I travel every single day. I know it's gonna sound crazy. I haven’t said anything to anybody about this, not even my girlfriend because they are probably gonna think I’m nuts.

Anyway, I'm going down this, the main road that I live on. It sends chills up my spine when I think about this. I come up around the curb past the first stop-light and there was... I saw something I can't explain. (long pause on the call) I'm coming down the road, I see these... I know this sounds crazy but I see these three figures in the road. I drive a 98 Ford Explorer. I see three figures in the road that are like 12 to 13 feet high, black hooded, all the way across the road. And first I thought, 'Okay, maybe I've been working too many hours and I'm seeing things,' you know, you see things in the road that aren't there after you are so tired driving home from work, whatever. I slowed down. I noticed there was a car coming the opposite direction did the same thing. It actually came to a dead stop in the middle of the road. This was like, I don't know, a half a mile from my house. And this car stops. I didn't come to a complete stop but I almost did. And it just made the hair stand up on the back of my neck. I was like, 'What the hell did I just see?' I'm not superstitious or any of that crap. I don't believe in any of that stuff. They lasted for like 3 or 4 seconds in the road. I continued on just like, 'What the hell did I just see? What the hell did I just see?' Even the other driver coming the opposite direction threw his arms up as he was coming by me, you know, going like, what the heck? Continued on. Went to get my gas. Drove back. I drove back very slowly.

I don’t know, for just the rest of the night it just made the hair stand up on the back of my neck. I saw something and I can't explain it. I didn't know where to go from there. Like I said, I didn't tell my girlfriend because she's gonna think I'm nuts and I just had to tell somebody. (Lewis, the host, asks about the lights on the street) Actually the road that we live on has got street lights all the way down the road. It's a pretty heavy residential area. Like I said I drive it every single night and I come up around this curb and I started coming down the road and it was like it blocked out the light from the street lights and oncoming cars but only for a few seconds. It was enough to make me almost bring my truck to a dead stop. Like I said, the car on the other side of the road did come to a complete stop and it was just one of those things, you know. (Lewis asks about the beings) What it looked like and I know this sounds crazy and I’m not nuts. I'm a cop. I'm not nuts. I'm a Christian. All this stuff. Something just did not make sense. I saw three figures in the road. One standing in the middle. One standing in each lane. I mean opposite lanes. It was like black, hooded, couldn’t see the faces. Lasted three to four seconds and that was it. I had ten hours of sleep so I wasn’t deprived of sleep. They were just standing there. When I first saw what I saw, I stopped my truck probably I want to say within 100 feet. I didn’t come to a complete stop. I slowed down to like 100 feet. The other car in the other lane was like an older, I think it was a Chevy Celebrity, you know, older junk car. They came to a complete stop. Slammed their brakes on. I almost came to a stop. I'm looking, you know, I'm rubbing my eyes, maybe I need to put my freaking glasses on or something. Then all of a sudden it was clear and we went by and, like I said, the other driver came by in the opposite lane, he looked over at me, I looked over at him and he threw his hands up right in the air like, what was that?”

Canadian 'Bog Monster' Encounter

I recently came across the following account:

I live in a nice little seaside town in Canada that has many of these little swamp/bogs in certain parts of town. Usually not a lot goes on in these bogs as you can't really build in them and there's not a lot that lives in them except for maybe some frogs and muskrat. Anyways, one Friday night about 4 years ago I decide to take a break from my university studies and go for some drinks at the local bar with some of the boys. It was a really good night with lots of drinking to be had and around a bit after 3 in the morning I decide to start walking home as I only live about 15 min away. I was about half way home when I noticed something unusual at one of these bogs.

From what I could see it seemed there was some kind of light coming from the water. At first I simply told myself it was probably just my drunk mind playing tricks on me but alas curiosity, with help of some liquid courage, got the best of me and I decided to approach the light. It is what I saw then that I still to this day can not make sense of.

What appeared to be giant slug/leech looking creature started to crawl out of the bog with what seemed like two very muscular front arms. As it crawled out further I got a better glimpse of it body, approx 5-6 feet long and about 3 feet tall. I did not seem to have any hind legs just its front arms but did seem to have a slimy underside as it moved quite fast and left behind a somewhat noticeable slime layer. The bio-luminescence was coming from a massive bulge located on his forehead and extended down his spinal column. I was complete stunned by what I was seeing and could not move as my body went completely numb.

At first the creature clearly did not notice me as he was headed in a direction perpendicular to mine. I assume that because he did not initially see me that the creature may not have great eyesight or any eyes at all. It must also had a poor sense of smell as it was not drawn to me. It was only when I let out a foolish and loud "WTF is this thing" did the abomination stop dead in its tracks and turn its hideous head at me. It was at this point I could clearly see its 2 large black eyes open up from its eyelids and stare directly at me. As soon as it saw me its bio-luminescence went out and I was left blinded in the pitch black. I heard a horrific screech almost like a birds scraw but much lower and sounding like it came from deep in the gut. I could hear the creature start to charge at me as I could hear its large body cut through that tall bog grass. My fight or flight instincts kicked in and you can be damn sure I chose flight. I picked out the nearest street lamp and ran as fast as I could through the grass till I got to it. When I got back to the street I was surprised to see no sign of the creature behind me.

I'm unsure if it wanted to harm me or just scare me out of its bog as I had seen it moving at an alarming rate as it initially left the bog water. Surely it could have caught a drunk, staggering 22 year old man? I went home after that and vowed never to go back to the bog. After I finished my degree I moved to Toronto and haven't been back since, I still can't come to terms with what I saw that night and I'm not sure I want to. I'm posting now to get this off my chest and see if anyone has had a similar experience or if they can make sense of this. koalakev

Bizarre Store Incident

“A couple years back, in my country, The Netherlands, Europe, in clothing store: Primark. I was with my ex girlfriend. She wanted to shop there. When we entered, my ex wanted to browse the clothing racks on the ground floor first. This is where I saw it. It still gives me the creeps thinking about it. My ex was browsing the jeans area and yelled at me because she wanted to show me something. Behind her I saw an old lady with a daughter. The daughter was huge in size, not height but width, wore an obvious black wig on her head. Her head was huge, was bowl shaped, and hang all the way back to the neck. The wig was so fake you could see were it started and ended. Her face was covered with heavy foundation. So heavy, that you couldn't see any real skin. Now the thing that still gives me the creeps were her eyes. Her eyes were snail like, like tubes with an eyeball sticking out. Each tube started on the side of her large head. One left, one right. I was stunned and froze. I didn't want to look at the being but it was standing behind my ex. I softly said we had to leave the store. My ex had no idea what i was doing. On the way out of the store, I heard a girl scream, I think she also saw the being. The being was normally dressed, skinny jeans, but from the head to her middle it wore a large shirt so you couldn't see any form. We still shop there sometimes, always hoping I don't run into it again.” - pleasebringmeback

Two Pterodactyls Observed in Northern Wisconsin

Kevin in Wisconsin called in to tell of his creature sighting:

“Two years ago, on October 4, 2011, I was coming home from the Twin Cities. I live in northern Wisconsin. It was 2:30 in the morning. I was driving down my road. Came down a bit of a dip in the road. Was coming back up and two my left hand side, they did some clear cutting and some logging out. All they left were some maple trees and there was a big natural gas pipeline that runs right through the area. It's all clear. They keep it clean. And right about there, coming out of the west, heading east were two pterodactyls. I didn't know what they were the second I seen it. You know, if I only seen one, I would have never told anybody about what I had seen. I would be like, 'Wow, I need to go to bed. I've been up a little too long.' But there were two of them. It's October 4th. I don't remember if it was a full moon but it was super bright out...so the moon lit everything up. I had the high beams on.

I was the only one on this road so when I came up out of that dip, the headlights caught them. The moonlight lit them up and it was terrifying at first. They were just cruising right along about 50 feet off the ground. They were below the trees and I'm guessing the trees down there aren't much more than 70 feet, the tallest ones. They were below that. (Clyde asks how he knew they were pterodactyls and not regular large birds) Yeah, when I saw the spike off the back of their heads that runs at like a 45 degree angle or so, 30 degree angle or whatever... and the 40 foot wingspan. It was like, there are no cranes around here that are that big. We have Sandhill Cranes and some other big cranes but they don't have 40 foot wingspans. There are swans over to the east of us on Lake Superior but they're not 40 feet across. I mean, to this day, I don't really tell anybody about it because when I do, they just look at me like, 'Wow, you finally went off your rocker.' I'm just like, so after that I just kinda let it go. You can't get that thought... or that picture out of your mind. I did some research on them and I was like, 'Yeah, that's what I saw' and the more I did the research and found out about these things, I was like... I'm not going down there to wait it out and see. There was nobody with me in the truck. I had one of my dogs with me and he ain’t talking to anyone about it.”

Possible Upright Canine Encounter in Montana

I recently found the following account:

Wise River, Montana - Summer 2015: I lived alone and in this remote location. We didn't have cable so the only option is satellite TV. It was a humid summer night in July and the TV was acting up, so I needed to go out and adjust the satellite like usual. I took a flashlight and a gun with me. When I went outside it was unusually quiet. So silent it was unnerving. I brushed the thought off and went to the dish which is in the corner of my yard. I went to work, making sure all the wires were alright and pointing it to a different angle. Suddenly I heard I small snap of a stick to my left and turned the flashlight to the direction and I saw a creature standing there. I got a good look at it for what seemed like an eternity but was for only about ten seconds. I slowly backed off and ran back to the house and locked all the doors and windows.

The creature was unlike anything I have ever seen before. When I shined the light at it, the first thing I saw was the head. It has cropped ears that pointed upwards. Its snout was narrower than a bears and longer and I could make out large teeth protruding from the jaw. Its eyes were a deep red shade that seemed to reflect off the light I was pointing at it. The body was muscular and huge. It had long arms that appeared to be longer than its legs. Broad shoulders that tapered into a skinnier waist. It was slightly crouched over when I saw it, with one hand wrapped around a small tree. I could make out the legs which looked similar to a dog’s legs, it had obvious hocks. Even with the crouched position, it was about my height which is 6 foot. Standing up to full height this creature could easily be 7.5 feet tall. The fur was black and thicker around the neck and chest and the bottom half significantly less so.

I don’t know if it was aggressive or not. What I know is I had a feeling of dread unlike anything I’ve ever experienced. Was it just observing me or stalking me? For a creature this large is was deceivingly silent. It got within 15 yards of me without me noticing. All I knew was I needed to get out of there and not find out. I don’t live on the property anymore but after the event I never had another face-to-face encounter. But I would hear sounds in the woods I couldn’t explain. They would start off relatively quiet, and work their way up to furious howls/screams then back down to quiet again. I don’t know if this was the same thing because it could be local wildlife.

What Answered My Phone?

I recently received the following account:

It was winter of 2001 in Michigan. I work construction as an electrician and one particular evening I was working late and it just started to snow. As it got darker, me and my work partner decided we were going to pack it in for the day and go home. This was right around the time when cell phones were getting more and more popular but still not everybody have them yet. I had one through my employer and only had given the number out to a few people including my girlfriend at the time, so I still had a regular landline at my house.

My girlfriend called my cell phone and sounded pretty upset with me and asked me if I had a girl at my house. Confused, I asked her what on Earth are you talking about (as I have lived alone for the past two years). She stated that when she called my house a woman’s voice answered. My girlfriend asked “is Mark there?” and the woman responded (quite angrily), “Mark is dead”.

At first I didn’t believe her because she was kind of the jealous type and she may have been trying to catch me in some sort of act of cheating. I again asked her are you making this up and she quite adamantly said absolutely not and that the person on the other line abruptly hung up after she had stated Mark is dead. She then called back and nobody answered and then tried calling back one other time and again nobody answered. After grilling her with questions and trying to get her to confess that she was making it up she stood her ground and I told her I would call her back later and that this is all pretty strange. She was absolutely convinced that somebody was at my house. Once I got off the phone with her I turned to my work partner and told him what had just happened. He thought that was pretty concerning as well and suggested that he follow me home just to be sure that someone is not in my house. The significance of me stating that it had just began to snow is that I figured that once I pulled up to my house I would see fresh footprints or tracks leading up to the property. It was fresh billowy snow completely undisturbed so I knew once we got to the house that would be the first clue.

The jobsite was about 20 minutes from my house, so as we drove I called my girlfriend again and told her that my partner was following behind me and we were going to check out the house together. I tried calling my house phone while on the way and oddly enough the phone would only ring once or twice without voicemail picking up. Once my partner and I got to the house we right away noticed that the snow was completely undisturbed. When I entered the house I immediately felt a strange vibe which I don’t know how to explain, but it just felt different. Maybe it was the paranoia but it did feel strange to me walking in there. It was now completely dark outside which made it feel even creepier. I walked down the hallway to my office where I promptly checked my caller ID just to verify that my girlfriend had indeed called at the times she said she did. I noticed that everything was as she said it would be and that she had tried calling three times and someone had indeed answered the first call. This still wasn’t proof enough for me, so later on that evening when I seen her I checked her cell phone to match it up with my caller ID at the house and it was a perfect match. The first phone call was received as far as her cell phone read.

The strange vibe I was getting while in the house prompted me to grab a few clothes and drive down to my girlfriend's house over an hour away to stay the night there because it bothered me that much. As I was getting ready to leave the house my work partner was investigating and looking around various rooms to see if anything was out of place. As I was on the phone with my girlfriend discussing this I was thinking I might be making a big deal over nothing. My partner from down the hallway shouted to me asking if I had just used the bathroom? I was in my office which was all the way at the end of the hallway, where as the bathroom was at the front of the house and off way to the left. He said he was looking in my kitchen which you cannot get to my office without walking through the kitchen, and the toilet flushed.

At this point I didn’t know whether or not he was now messing with me due to the fact he could tell I was a bit nervous. However when I seen the look on his face I could tell he was 100% genuine and truthful. The toilet had indeed flushed itself and not only that when we walked into the bathroom the toilet lid was placed down, and being a single bachelor I very rarely had the toilet seat down much less the lid.

I have read before that people feel cold spots when there is a presence nearby or something like that and that was absolutely noticeable when I walked into the bathroom. In fact that bathroom is usually as hot as a sauna because there is a huge heat vent that comes from the ceiling and the door usually has to be left open so that heat can get out to the rest of the house.

The catalyst to this whole ordeal was when my work partner went from acting nonchalant about it to becoming visually shook up. He did not want to be in that house anymore and frankly I did not either. As we were leaving out the front door I was completely taken back when right there in front of us both were very small footprints that started in the middle of my front yard just below a tree. There was absolutely no disturbance in the snow when we pulled up and that much I was sure of and so was he. The footprints were leading to the street where we could no longer follow them but it appeared to head towards the lake I lived only four houses from.

Suffice it to say I stayed at my girlfriend's house for about two days before my father had convinced me I was being ridiculous and I should return to my house.

One last piece of information, about a week after I had returned home I was cooking dinner for myself one night when as I poured boiling water down the sink (making pasta). I heard a big thud sound on my roof pretty much right over my head. Again it was just turning dark and I went outside to investigate the sound. I had one of those giant flashlights that is about as powerful as a car headlight, and I shined it up onto the roof. It was the oddest thing but a full grown swan had crash landed onto the roof (in the middle of December!). I went across the street to my friend's house to have him come take a look at it and as he opens the door for me, before I could say anything he said to me, “oh my God something just fell right off your roof!” "I said OK that’s what I was coming over here to show you, you’ve got to come take a look at this." This bird actually had tumbled and rolled down the roof and into my driveway. My neighbor walked across the street with me and when we got to where the swan landed it simply stood up and in the most peculiar mannerisms it marched right past us and walked all the way down to the lake as if it was a drunken bar patron trying to make his way home.

Now I have always been interested in the paranormal and have always wanted to see evidence for myself and I am still on the fence on what I believe and what is real, but it’s like people say, when it happens to them then it’s pretty hard to explain away. MIE

Upright Canine in Southeast Texas

I recently received the following account:

I’m 56 years old and have been in southeast Texas most of my life. Raised in the swamp and an experienced hunter. At 16 or 17 was in Vidor, Texas throwing football in a secluded area with a friend. 20 feet from us a wolf-like creature came out of wooded area onto the road. I asked my friend if he thought that it was a wolf. There were no wolves in that area at that time. The creature heard me and stood up and started leering at us. It took 3 or 4 steps towards us. My observation was that it was 5' tall with a long snout and very large canine teeth with eyes that were not like a dog’s. My friend had already abandoned me and locked himself in the car. I yelled something in fear and it ran across road and went back to 4 legged stance and disappeared into forest. I have never seen any strange things before or after I get ridiculed for telling this but I know what i saw. Thanks for your website. GT

Ghost Legs?

“In the summer of 1982 I was in my hometown of Westmorland. It is known being a tiny town populated by a little over 2,000 residents. I had just turned 17 and the mother of a 9 month old daughter. After a long day visiting with my mother, I asked her to take me home. My cousin Elizabeth Miranda, a few years older than me, was staying with my mom. I lived with my daughter's father in another small town called Calipatria, just 14 miles away. It was around 10:30 pm. My mother choose to drive through the back roads. Within about 10 mins - now this might sound crazy, but from the left side of the road the three of us see pale white legs running across the street. The headlights were on high so we were able to see that it did not have an upper torso. Just from the hips down. I remember screaming 'Did you just see what I saw?' my mother yelled 'In the name of Jesus.' We could clearly see the muscles flexing as it ran across the street. Within seconds we were at a stop sign but as my mother was turning left we realized that it was right beside the car. I saw that the top part of the body where the guts would've been looked like a smokey mirage. While we all were screaming, my mother, who was a sheriff's deputy, was also a very good driver. As she started speeding up, it was running along side of us on the driver's side. I then heard my mother yell: 'Hold on tight!' She floored the gas, speeding up to about 50 MPH and my mother made a sharp right turn on to a road turning the wheel sharply to the left like in 'Dukes of Hazard' as we slid on the road. As we turned right, it continued to run straight. We could see the buttocks and feet as it ran. I know what we saw that night was a demon. Later on in the years, I've heard two stories about someone seeing legs from the hip down running late at night. I am an artist and can still, after almost 35 years, I can still remember what I saw that night. I'll never forget.” - Frances Garcia

Ghoulish Humanoid Running Between the Headstones

Back when I was in high school my friend and I saw something I've begun referring to as a crawler. This was in Rossville, IL. Night time and in a cemetery. I think it was probably late summer or early fall because I don't remember it being too cold out. Would have been between 2007 and 2010. Pretty sure the moon was full of close to it because visibility was pretty good.

My friend and I used to walk this loop. We would leave her place and go down a block to a side road that led to a park. We would then turn left and cut across the park to the side entrance of the cemetery. The cemetery and park sat at the very southwest corner of town. Beyond that was just woods and corn fields. If we went straight across the cemetery it would take us to another side road that then led to the main street, back to where her house was.

We made it to the cemetery and were walking the main drive that split the property in half. There was a sudden noise that made us both stop. My friend started laughing nervously and asked if I had heard the noise. I told her I had seen what made the noise.

To our left, I had seen something running behind the headstones. It was on all fours, but humanoid. It had extremely pale skin and no hair, and looked very thin. I remember it was so pale it almost reflected the moonlight. It moved so fast (too fast for any human I've ever seen on their hands and feet) that I couldn't see many details. It was in total profile, so I never saw the facial details. The way it ran was animal like as well in that it had that gait where its feet came forward almost between or past its hands. Watch a video of a big cat or wild dog running to see what I mean.

We were both terrified. We just stood there panicking and listening to it moving around, just out of sight, while we called one of her friends to come meet us and take us the rest of the way home. Her friend, a very typical high school boy, arrived and naturally wanted to stay in the cemetery and goof off for a while. For some reason with him there acting dumb it was less scary, but I remember it just kept making these wide circles around us. It always stayed out of sight, but you could hear it as it moved. Occasionally it would come a bit closer, then seemed to dart further away again.

Eventually we left. I spent a while researching it, and even reached out to a paranormal group in Champaign for advice. The guy I talked to had never heard of it, but wanted to document what we saw. We met up with him and did an interview, but the group never did an investigation.

Fast forward a few years and I'm living in Aurora, CO. I met one of my closest friends in about 2012. We really hit it off because we were into the paranormal. When I eventually told him about what I had seen, his jaw hit the floor. He told me he had seen the same thing and told me his story.

He described exactly what I had seen, but he had seen it under a porch while living in Thornton. It was crouched down and squatting. He thinks he startled it while it was eating, because he said it was hunched over something it was holding. He comes from a Navajo/Apache background, and when we first met his best guess was skinwalker or wendigo. But then and especially now he said he had doubts about either of those things being the answer. He was dating a girl at the time who's mom claimed to be a medium. She said she thought it was something that someone "woke up" and that now it was angry. We both have serious doubts on that one.

The stranger part came when he and I brought it up. We both started having very intense nightmares about it. His were worse than mine, and lasted much longer. This was also punctuated by a 6 month period of time filled with a lot of bad luck and anxiety for us. I always sort of brushed this off as us just psyching ourselves out, until I sent my story in to a podcast. After it was read, another listener sent in their story. They described what my friend and I had seen, and also described the sightings as being punctuated by nightmares. I couldn't write that off because he spoke about his nightmares in detail, and they matched my friend's nightmares exactly. I have never given out details of what actually happened in either of our nightmares.

I've read a ton of other stories by other users and people on the internet. I've dug through mounds of lore and cryptid lists. I still don't feel like I have an answer to what this thing is. My best guess at this point is that the nightmares aren't coincidental, and that this is something that is interdimensional. It seems like it can interact with physical things around it, but I've never heard anyone tell a first hand account of being physically attacked or even touched. I've speculated on what it could be for hours, and the only conclusion that I've come to is that I don't feel like there is an actual concrete answer. It doesn't act exactly like this or that cryptid. I think it might be something that's been around and inspired other cryptids and paranormal tales. But I don't think it's a wendigo, skinwalker, ghoul, fleshgait, etc. - nymphlotus

Large Flying Cryptid Reported in Kenosha, Wisconsin

I recently received the following account. We have attempted to contact the witness for further details...so far, it's been unsuccessful:

“I live in Kenosha, Wisconsin, about 45 minutes from Chicago, and I also saw a huge bird-like creature a few weeks ago. Me, my brother and my neighbor were in my backyard when suddenly a massive bird appeared overhead. It had a wingspan of I estimate about 10 or 15 feet. It was much larger than any bird I have ever seen. Big enough to snatch my two-year-old daughter off the ground, maybe even me. It flew very majestically and very slow. It seemed surreal. And the strange thing is, just as soon as it appeared overhead, it vanished before my eyes. I was very well expecting to see this creature fly off in the distance but it just vanished after about 10 seconds. My brother confirmed my sighting. Me and my neighbor had been drinking but my brother was sober as a judge. He saw the exact same thing. It appeared and disappeared right before our eyes. My neighbor said he thought it was a bat but it was much too big and flew too slow to be a bat. Whatever it was, it is not known by modern science.” - Stony Tony

Beyond Creepy

I have received several UFO related reports from the Kenosha, WI area over the years. The following strange account was reported to MUFON in December 2017:

I grew up on a small rural farm in Paris Township near Kenosha, Wisconsin. I remember several things occurring from 1987 when we moved to the farm until the summer of 1994 when I left for college. These incidents cover that time period, however, I can’t recall exact dates. Much of this I thought of as a dream until Facebook came along and an old friend contacted me saying something like, “hey, do you remember...?”

Face in the window:

It was around New Years and my parents were away from the house at a party. My brother was at a friend's and I had a friend over to work on a 10-page Government report due when we got back from winter break later that week. I’d guess the incident occurred at around 9:00 pm and probably between December 30 and January 1. I was likely a sophomore or junior in high school so it would have been either 1991-1993. There was a large front porch on the front of our house and due to it being winter we never used the front door because the front of the house faced fields and the wind would sweep snow drifts onto the porch. So we always used the side-door which led to the driveway. However, if you stand on the porch near the front door there was a picture window looking into our dining room and at the end of the dining room was a large desk with a computer.

My friend had just finished the paper. We both stood up at the same time and turned toward the window. Staring at us from the window was a face. I recall it being whitish/grey, and it seemed as if the skin was smooth like warm candle wax. It’s head was longer than a human, and slightly more bulbous, but not in an exaggerated way. Its eyes were dark and maybe three or four times the size of a typical human. While the description sounds like a stereotypical “grey” alien, it also seemed different. In fact, different enough for me to think it was something else other than an ET until recently. Anyway, it was staring and in the few seconds I saw it I remember feeling as if it wanted to hurt me, was upset with me, or needed to get to me and was upset it couldn’t. I didn’t hear anything, and I remember thinking that those were feelings I felt deliberately from this creature. It wasn’t fear, although I was terrified. About the same time that my friend and I dove to the floor I saw the creature turn it’s head and run toward the driveway. From my position he ran to the left.

After about five minutes my friend and I had convinced ourselves that what we’d just seen was a neighbor messing around with some kind of a mask. However, when I walked my friend out to his car we realized that there were no footprints in the snow – and there was snow everywhere from the porch to the driveway. I don’t recall ever seeing the creature again.

In my early thirties Facebook came around. By this time, even though I vividly remembered that night, I started to think it might have been a dream. One day I received a message from my friend after connecting on Facebook. One of the first things he said to me was “hey do you remember that night at your house when we saw that thing?”

Lights at night:

I think this incident occurred before I was in high school, so it was probably between 1987-1990. Our closest neighbors with kids lived 1/4 mile down the road and one of the kids was camping with me and maybe my brother in our side yard which was about a half-acre piece of land behind our 3-car detached garage and then bordered on the side by two large grain bins at least twenty feet tall and an old barn.

I woke up in the middle of the night because I saw a really bright light shining into our tent. At first, I thought maybe a farmer had pulled up near the barn to turn around and had their bright lights shining on the tent. I wanted to see who it was so I crawled out of the tent and as soon as I was out of the tent the light was gone. It wasn’t like someone pulled away or even flipped the lights off. It just wasn’t there. So, I got outside and walked onto the road and didn’t see any cars. It was really dark outside and I was heading back to the tent. But, before I got to the tent I saw several bright spherical lights. If I had to estimate, I’d say they were between a softball and bowling ball in size. There were several colors, although right now I only recollect red and yellow. Initially they were hovering above me and the tent, about as high as the grain bins. Then they began to move. Sometimes they were in a circular pattern and then sometimes three would form a triangle maybe five to six feet long. I don’t recall how many lights there were, but I want to say it was around five. So, they would be in the triangle or circle formation and then suddenly break from each other and just move randomly all over the place, always above me, but in a lot of directions, before going back to their pattern together.

That’s all I remember and always thought it was a dream. It never occurred to me that the incident wasn’t a dream until, again Facebook, when this kid contacted me and asked if I remember the night we were camping in my yard and saw those strange lights by the old barn and bins. I knew he’d had been camping with us, but I don’t recall him seeing the lights with me which was especially haunting for me.

Time loss:

My friend and I were hanging out at my house. It was about noon and we were talking about something and decided to go for a walk down the street. We would have said “up the hill and back.” There was a dip in the road and then the road went up a hill. We would often walk it when we were bored or talking about something. This was probably the same time period as the lights, between 1987 and 1990 and it was in the summer because I remember wearing a t-shirt.

My dad asked us where we were going, and I told him just up the hill and back. He said not to be gone for too long, although I don’t remember why. He and I walked up the hill and back. It was at most 15 minutes. But, when we got back my dad was furious and said he was about to call the police since we’d been gone so long. Had he not looked so mad I would have thought he was joking. Then he said my friend had to get home because either his grandma or mom was freaking out and kept calling. I used to wear a watch back then and looked at it. Only about fifteen minutes passed so I was even more confused, but, when I got inside the house all the clocks were almost four hours later than my watch.

I remember going up and down the hill countless times that summer with my friend trying to figure out what happened and neither of us could. Thinking about it that was probably the summer of 1989 or 1990, because my friend and I stopped hanging out shortly after that.

Flashing lights:

It was nighttime, probably around 9:00 pm in the summer. I can’t recall which year, but probably 1989-1993. I was with friends, but I can’t recall who. What I do remember is looking off toward the north probably about 85 degrees off the horizon to directly above us and we could see flashing in the sky. They looked like exploding fireworks without noise and without the streaming. The lights were all white and only looked like a quick explosion.

My friends and I ruled out fireworks because, except for the visual explosion there was nothing similar. Plus, they were so high in the sky and they were about the size of the stars before the exploded and moved. We could actually see what looked like a star, then it would explode, but also seem to move to another area of the sky and explode again, move to another area of the sky and explode again. they continued in these strange moving patterns for what seemed like forever, but was probably only ten minutes.

The next day I described it to my dad who said it must have been the Aurora Borealis, which was sometimes viewable, but nothing like this. Since then I have searched online and haven’t been able to find anything like it. I only recall seeing this once.

Dreams:

Along with these incidents, I also had a series of dreams, which unto themselves I wouldn’t think were anything more than dreams. In fact, until I started thinking about the old farm recently I still just thought they were dreams. However, after listening to an audio book on an alien abduction I thought I would at least mention them. For transparency, I should say that as a kid I did believe in UFOs and ETs. I wasn’t obsessed, but if I saw something on TV i’d watch it and occasionally look at the sky hoping to see something.

I only remember fragments of the dreams. The thing that made these dreams different from other dreams is I always woke up somewhere outside my bed and often outside of our house.

One example is a dream I had about a UFO that was on the ground in our driveway. It was more of a “pod” of some sort, and saucer-shaped. It might have been only ten feet wide and I remember thinking that it was way too small for me or anything else to fit inside. It was probably only three to four feet at it longest from top to bottom.

I remember a typical grey alien of some kind, but I don’t remember our contact as much as I remember it being irritated with me for doing something. But, I don’t know what. It wasn’t mad, but more like a parent is irritated with a toddler. At some point the saucer was flying around and I was with it, but then it was on the ground again and I was left on the ground. When the dream was over I woke up alone on our driveway in the middle of the night.

Another dream I recall was something about these hooded creatures and a tall uncloaked figure in my bedroom at night. I woke up because I was floating, but unable to control anything. I could only see and hear. The sound I heard was a light droning or humming. My legs began moving through the bedroom wall that led to the back of our house and toward the farm fields.

The next thing I recall is walking by myself in the middle of the night along a trail. Our farm had our house, behind that was a field and then a large garden, the animals (pigs, cows, goats) the bee hives and then a large soybean field we rented to other farmers. I was toward the back end between the bee hives and the pigs. I only remember this because the pigs’ grunting seemed to wake me up while I was walking.

I remember dreams of a figure in my bedroom doorway multiple times, as well as the feeling of moving without seeing anything. other places I woke up were at the bottom of the stairs alongside the book case, our front porch and several times outside – often behind the garage and near the grain bins where I had seen the colored orbs.

NOTE: Quite an interesting account by any standard. I wish I could contact this experiencer, since I'm sure they have more to tell. Lon

'They' Use Me Through My Dreams

I recently received the following account:

I live in eastern Oklahoma. This originally occurred in October 2013. It was around 7:30 in the morning. I woke up to the sound of my mom leaving for work. I went back to sleep. That's when 'they' entered my dream and proceeded to use it to connect with me telepathically.

I can't really pinpoint what triggers my encounters, but these alien entities always direct me to do what I need to do to help them. At first, I thought that I was just dreaming, until I was overcome with an intense feeling of this dream no longer being my own. It was my alien guide watching me from above me, taking control of my dream. I was alarmed by this. I remember seeing other people, more like shadows, on an elevator that they had produced for me, it being a means of transporting me from my room to their craft. I knew that they were doing this. I was aware of it. They placed me in the frame of mind that was needed in order for me to do my job by scaring me, and becoming submissive as a result of my fear. Only when I was submissive would I be able to comply with their requests. They scared me by means of hearing the engine of the craft gearing up to leave. The noise seemed to come alive by means of a tingling light that penetrated not only the elevator, but also passed through me front to back. The tighter I shut my eyes, the more details of my surroundings I could see because the light that this noise produced got so bright that had my eyes been opened, I would have been blinded by the brightness. With my eyes closed, it was easier to see details of my surroundings! I was magnetically drawn into the craft where I then proceeded to tend to my first order of business, which was to try on different visualizations of different types of hands, faces, arms, legs, and feet for the purpose of deciding what would look most human, but more importantly, what would be most practical for their purpose.

I would enter into a hospital-like area. I somehow knew that this craft had multiple levels. During this visit, I was only needed on this one level. My guide told me to go get something from one of the 'receptionists.' I walked past the receptionists, surveyed the patients, saw some scary looking tubes and bags containing what looked like blood. These bags were apparently organic in nature because they seemed to be alive, and providing nutrients to possible hybrid beings.

These scenarios have occurred at least a dozen times since then, and continue to this day. KL

NOTE: I was able to talk to this experiencer, who is a female in her mid 20s. She added that she has seen a medical professional on a number of occasions...each time being told that there are no psychological problems with her. After each incident, she exhibits physical problems, in particular a loss of appetite and extreme weakness. She has never had a very detailed look at the entities, but believes that their perceived shape is humanoid. She also explains that these alien entities use humans as submissive pawns in order to create hybrid beings. Lon
