Glowing Figure in the Woods

Gareth called in to tell of his weird sighting in the woods near his home:

“I'd like to share my first experience with the paranormal. I grew up in a small town in Temple, Maine, on a small old farm land, is what it was. Basically there's an old farm that burnt down there when I was about 11 or 12 and there were all kinds of old gardens around in different strange places that looked like they could have structures and barns and everything else but with no more structure, just stone walls.

One evening I was down near that place, I was really young, I was probably 11 or 12, and a glowing figure appeared and started walking out of this little kind of stone structure. It looked like it was walking down steps towards me. Of course, at 11 or 12, I kind of...I just froze for a little bit, because I didn't believe what I was seeing. This figure started walking towards me out of the woods and then, of course, the voice in my head told me to run...so I did. I ran back to the house freaking out because, obviously, as a kid you just you don't know what you're seeing. That kind of put into concrete evidence that things are going on that just, you know, you can't explain. I ran back to the house and ran inside. I didn't say a word. I kind just kept my mouth shut. I went back but not right away. I kind of avoided that area in the day time, you think you're safer in the daylight? So sure I'd always go back and kind of look.

I went back the next day to see where it was coming from and it looked like an old foundation. It was an old stone wall so the indication was that there was a building of some sort. (Church asks what time of day he saw the figure) This was during the evening. It was dusk. So it was just before dark. I always went out to see the fireflies...we were kids. I love nature so I was always rummaging around with whatever I could get my hands on. I just happened to be down there hanging out and I mean I always had feelings on that property there was always something going on. It didn't happen again but that's when I started to just kind of started believing in things. I mean I've had other sightings. A couple years later, it was an object that was approaching the moon and then went behind the moon. I was assuming that it would come out the other side and it never appeared.”

Beyond Creepy

NOTE: When I saw that this incident occurred in Temple, Maine my hackles immediately raised. I had heard of that town before. I went back and checked through my archives and discovered that a glowing figure holding a lantern had been seen along Rt. 43 (Intervale Rd.) at different times. I don't know if this farmland, described by the caller, was near Rt. 43. To be honest, the state of Maine has a lot of reports of disappearing hitchhikers, apparitions standing by the road, etc. There are literally hundreds of historical incidents. The nearby town of Farmington is another hot spot for unexplained anomalies. The Sandy River (which also runs through Temple) has been an area where eyewitness have reported various 'people' who looked to be from an earlier time period congregating along the river and underneath bridges.

Daily 2 Cents: Mom Disappears...Then Reappears -- Meet the Venusians -- BC Missing Time Events

Mom Disappears...Then Reappears

“When I was around 11 or 12 my parents and I went to a theme park roughly 3 hours away from where we live. My dad and I had gone to the water park section of the park and my mom doesn't swim so she sat at a table watching us while we went on the water rides. When we were done, my mom, our dry clothes, and her belongings were gone. Nobody was sitting by the tables where she was sitting. We walked around the park for nearly an hour looking for her and calling her cell phone. She never answered. In an act of desperation we went back to the water park area only to find my mom sitting there with all of the belongings. We had asked her where she had gone and she said she had sat there for the entire time. She said she had been waiting on us all day, and even stranger, she had attempted to call both of us and had record on her cell of the calls to us, but not from us, and vice versa. To this day I still wonder what happened.” - Alderknight

BC Missing Time Events

The lady told me she saw an unusual object in the night sky on July 31, 2003 in Kelowna, BC. She also told me she has a habit of glancing up into the sky as she has a beautiful view of the stars and it is very dark in her area. On this night the woman had already turned in, but couldn't sleep due to how warm it was in her home. The lady got up out of bed and went outside for some weird reason and when outside the lady looked towards the south. As the witness sat out looking around she spotted something, her thoughts were there shouldn't be any airplanes out here at this time of night, but there was something very strange. She watched an object traveling from east to west and described the object as being almond in shape and a luminas green in color. The witness also reports only seeing one green light.

The lady reports that from their location, which was not at all far away from the two ladies who experienced the missing time, something very strange took place. She brought out her camera to take some pictures, but as she tried to take her photos, the camera would not work. It went dead! Also she reports that the evening was warm, and she could hear coyotes cutting up. But soon they became silent, and so did everything else around them including the crickets which were making some noise. She said it was if someone had clicked off a switch. The air went from a nice sweet smelling night to a musty cold in this dead silence.

Also this witness said that two nights ago a person telephoned the radio station (CKOV) on an open line call in program and reported seeing a streak of light, and at the front of this streak a round ball was noted and the caller reported "it" had landed somewhere in South East Kelowna in the exact area where the green object had been witnessed, also where the two ladies had their missing time event. - NUFORC / HBCC UFO Research

Meet the Venusians: An Interview with the “Cosmic Ray”

By Alan Zanjani

At all of his appearances along the lecture circuit, Dr. Raymond A. Keller, a.k.a. the “Cosmic Ray,” follows up his power point presentations with a question and answer session. At that time, he addresses various issues brought up in all his award-winning and best-selling Venus Rising trilogy of books. No question seems to be too difficult for the Cosmic Ray.

At one program in the Philadelphia area, an attendee asked about some radio transmissions apparently coming from the surface of the cloudy planet Venus; and the doctor rattled off a complete list of frequencies that the questioner, and the audience, could check out for themselves. I verified them in my own copy of Venus Rising, and he was spot on to three numbers past the decimal point.

Later, when visiting the Cosmic Ray at his home in Morgantown, West Virginia, I asked him some more questions about the alleged telegraphic signals from the radio station on the surface of Venus. At that instant, the doctor went into his Venus vault of documents and pulled out a now faded newspaper clipping. The Venus radio transmissions were first announced on the front page of the Tuesday, 5 June 1956 edition of the Chicago Daily Tribune in no less than a banner headline, “Navy Gets Radio Signals from Venus, Astronomers Hear Planet on Ham Wave,” by Phillip Warden, a staff reporter at the Daily Tribune. The Cosmic Ray talks about people and incidents from over fifty or sixty years ago like they just happened yesterday afternoon. Even people who initially scoff at the idea of flying saucers from Venus buy a set of the doctor’s books before the meeting is over.

Harrisburg, Pennsylvania

On 9 May 2018, I went along with the Cosmic Ray to attend the monthly meeting of the Science Evaluating Anomalies Research Center of Harrisburg (SEARCH), held at the Lower Paxton Township Municipal Building at 425 Prince Street in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. It was a fantastic meeting, to be sure, as I and all in attendance were totally blown away by the doctor’s presentation. But rather than take my word for what happened, here is a summary of the meeting provided by Tony Pugliese for the paranormal group’s official website, https://harrisburgsearch.wordpress.com/:

“Greetings, lovers of the paranormal: This month at SEARCH we were pleased to have with us a special guest lecturer: The ‘Cosmic Ray’ himself, Dr. Raymond Keller, II, renowned author of the Venus Rising trilogy, a series of nonfiction books chronicling the history of the planet Venus, and including mythology, fact, and everything in between. Hailing from nearby West Virginia, Dr. Keller has been a longtime investigator of the paranormal, especially anything related to UFOs and other forms of extraterrestrial visitation.

“It’s rare to have a veteran of the early years of UFO investigation here, and his presentation did not disappoint. It focused mostly on his third book, entitled Cosmic Ray’s Excellent Venus Adventure. The book chronicles Dr. Keller’s own experiences with the extraterrestrial, including a purported contact between himself and several Venusians at a recent paranormal festival. It sounds quite bizarre of course…but Cosmic Ray, ever the consummate investigator, has reams and reams of documentation and photographs from a wide variety of sources to back up his claims.

“During the presentation we were given a good idea of the scope of extraterrestrial contact that we might be encountering here on Earth, including the apparent claims of a Canadian official that we are, in fact, being visited by around 80 species! Of course it’s impossible to verify these claims, but the preponderance of evidence that we are being visited by something (or ‘several somethings’) unearthly remains overwhelming. Dr. Keller also gave great insight into extraterrestrial technology that sent everyone in the room scrambling for their cell phones to Google the information he was giving us. This was a truly eye opening presentation that makes us all long for the days of the ‘flying saucer clubs’ of the 1950s, back when all of this was both recent national news and serious business.”

Insofar as I have enjoyed the opportunity of accompanying the doctor to quite a few meetings, I can honestly say that Tony’s impressions reflected a similar response by nearly all who have taken the opportunity to attend one of the Cosmic Ray’s intriguing Venus presentations.

Here the doctor provides some answers to a few of the commonly asked questions about the planet Venus and the Venusians:

Questions and Answers about Venus and Venusians

Q. In your Venus books, frequent mention is made of reincarnation. How does this esoteric subject relate to the Venusians?

A. Many souls of Earth and other planets in the solar system and beyond reincarnate on Venus, having reached the highest plateau of spiritual mastery in this density, preparatory to their transition into the higher dimensions. In turn, after several lifetimes on Venus, some souls return to the spheres of lower degree in order to serve the inhabitants of these worlds as teachers, or avatars of a cosmic gnosis essential for guiding their students in making their own transitions to Venus; onward and upward, as it is.

Most of the brothers and sisters of Venus working here on Earth have been here before, in prior incarnations. Essentially, they are attempting to awaken us to the reality of our own misguided thinking in so many avenues. They long ago succeeded in honing their intellects and setting aside their individual egos. Those that are reincarnated here on Earth are always to be found channeling their energies into service on behalf of others. Of course, they are interested in accomplishment, but never for themselves. They are always working for the betterment of all.

Should one arrive at the point of being reincarnated on Venus, there is a hall of records there that can be freely accessed to reveal all previous incarnations in the denser realms. This hall of records has a machine that taps into a crystal ice cave below the wind-swept surface of the planet Uranus. You can literally find out anything you want to know about any prior lifetime.

There are a few individuals who have bypassed the so-called “Wheel of Life,” however; and these are the ones who have been “translated” to Venus for their worthy deeds on Earth in behalf of their fellow beings. Annalee Skarin of American Falls, Idaho, was taken up bodily from Mt. Shasta in California. She never experienced a physical death and went straight up to Venus. She now looks like a beautiful teenager. The key to this bodily translation is found in her nine esoteric books. I can’t praise Annalee Skarin enough. Her books constitute a marvelous work and a wonder.

Q. You have frequently mentioned the concept and state of happiness in many of your lectures. Can you elaborate on this, from a Venusian perspective?

A. Of course, it would be my pleasure. I want the people attending my lectures to know that the Venusians are a happy people. This is the type of happiness that should not be equated with emotionalism, and the drama that accompanies it here on Earth. The Venusians possess an inner joy that comes from carrying out a well-done task. Everything the Venusians do carries an imbedding of their own individual and collective life force. Suffice it to say, the Venusians have the utmost respect for everything. This is because they recognize the Divine Spark in all of creation, and especially other sentient beings that they share the cosmos with.

Q. What about fears? Are the Venusians afraid of death, as we are?

A. The Venusians realize that the material body is something akin to a garment. When it wears out, they know that the time is fast approaching when they can simply exchange it for a new one. Having an assurance of reincarnation, there is no guess work about the afterlife. It is no longer necessary for the Venusians to live by faith. They passed that stage of their cosmic evolution countless millennia ago.

The Venusians have attained to an awareness that when they move on to some other sphere of existence, they will be provided with a material body constituted of the elements of their new planetary environment. Their body will be perfectly adapted to the physical conditions that they will find there, in their new celestial home.

Q. How many inhabited worlds are there?

A. In the Gnostic Gospels, Jesus the Christ explained that the inhabited Omniverse was so vast that not even the angels were privy to the knowledge pertaining to the ends of it, if it even has any points of demarcation. The great esoteric teacher Helena Blavatsky also declared that “the immensity of space was filled with intelligences.”

In our space sector, that includes the planets and their attendant moons in the solar system as well as the planetary systems in orbit around the closest stars. There are 50 other inhabited spheres constituting what can best be called the Galactic Federation of Light. Venus is the governing planet in our local star sector.

Q. Do the space people worship God as we do? Do they have any religion?

A. They do not worship God, per se, as we understand God to be, but recognize that there is an Infinite Creator constituted of Spirit that permeates the entire fabric of the cosmos. They see the Divine Spark of the Infinite Creator in everything and everybody. There is no religion higher than truth. Manifesting kindness assures one’s continual progress up the celestial ladder to cosmic perfection. There is no need for religious laws and ordinances when kindness is the prime motivator in life. They do recognize Jesus the Christ as the supreme manifestation on Earth of the god consciousness. They also greatly esteem the Buddha, Luther, Mary, Muhammad, Rumi, Annalee Skarin and other avatars that have incarnated from Venus and other celestial orbs to redeem us from the darkness and lead us onto the path of further illumination.

The Venusians do not desire that anyone on Earth lose their religion, just live up to its higher precepts. Love is the operative word here.

Q. So you don’t offer any new religion or program to help people along the spiritual path?

A. Sorry, my friend; just the gnosis one gets from purchasing my Venus books is sufficient for me. It is my fondest wish that people become elevated to an expanded consciousness and thereby become receptive to greater illumination and wondrous extraterrestrial experiences. Each individual is the captain of their own ship. Perhaps my books will play some small part in guiding them to the shores of Paradise.

I don’t need any more money than a small but just profit for the time and effort it took to write the Venus books. I will never start a cult or religion, nor will I charge anyone even a penny to sign up for any club or group. I will, however, encourage interested parties to check out local organizations investigating the UFO phenomenon to make new friends and explore alternate areas of approaching this subject.

Duplantier was a friend and research associate of the Cosmic Ray.

Meeting the Cosmic Ray, and maybe some Venusians along the way….

At the forthcoming From Venus with Love conference, sponsored by Rob Potter’s thepromiserevealed.com and to be held on the slopes of Mt. Shasta from 27-29 July 2018, Dr. Keller will gladly answer any of your questions about the mysterious, cloud-shrouded sphere of Venus and the amazing beings who inhabit that paradise planet. Come and join the Cosmic Ray, Frank Chille, Major George Filer, Lady Jenn, Omnec Onec, Rob Potter and many others for some amazing lectures with follow-up dinners and ample time for friendship and fun on Mt. Shasta, the gateway to your own Venus adventures!

Daily 2 Cents: Psychic Projection of Horrible Creature -- Arcane Radio is Back! -- 'Monster' From the Bright Light

Psychic Projection of Horrible Creature

“In 1988 a woman I knew for 6 years had married and moved to California. She invited me to come visit. One day I was holding her baby of 2 years and we were looking out a kitchen window. Then my friend came up beside us and transformed. We could only see the woman's face at that time it changed into a greenish hologram of a creature with horns. This scared both of us and the baby started to cry. I didn't want to believe what I saw at the time.

A second time was 5 years later at a different house in 1993. At that time I was visiting with my friend and her husband and little girl. I was holding her cat one morning looking out an Arcadia window. She came up behind me as I turned to chat with her, what stood before me was a greenish hologram creature in front of her about an inch away from her body. It had claws, horns and fangs. The cat scratched me trying to get away and then hid under the couch, terrified. She shook her head and the image disappeared. She said, 'Scared you didn't I'. Yes she did. She also attacked me a day later with psychic energy that paralyzed me. It took a lot of my ability to gain my movements back and become balanced again. I realized that what was happening was all too real. Left never to return. We are no longer friends.” - Barbara Duncan

'Monster' From the Bright Light

I recently received the following account:

When I was about 6 yrs old I had just had breakfast and then went into what we called the playroom, which was on the first floor front room. I was looking in the toy box when I noticed a bright light started coming from the front where the windows are. I didn't think much of it at first but it kept getting brighter and seemed light the whole wall. I had to shield my eyes and remember thinking maybe it some eclipse or something because we had just had one. By the way this was around 1970. Anyway after the light started to dim I saw what I thought of as a monster floating in front of me. I started to back away toward the doorway more scared than ever, but when I got to the doorway, it was like I hit a wall. But I was in the doorway and could not get through. I looked up and the window was cranked open, so I tried to yell up through it but nothing came out but a tiny squeak. I was trying to yell "Mom" because last I saw she was doing the dishes in the kitchen.

Anyway I kept trying but nothing came out.. that's the last thing I remember until I woke up propped up against the wall in a sitting position and at that time no memory of what had happened before. I was confused and just thought I must have fallen asleep. I walked out to dining room and my mom said 'there you are. 'Where were you? I said I think I must have fell asleep in the playroom...she said 'no, I looked in there.' So I just figured she peeked in but didn't see me because I was against the wall next to the doorway. She said she thought I went out to play because I was out for a few hours since breakfast. I also saw my shirt was on backwards, my belt was unbuckled and pockets turned out.

Over the next week or so I started to remember it all and it was so vivid. I just thought maybe it was a dream, after all I was only six. But the memories stayed with me all this time. It wasn't until years later when I was watching a show about aliens that it all hit me. On the show someone talked about a bright light and pretty much what happened to me....that I realized that was what must have happened to me. Being so young at that time I just thought of it as a monster. Thanks - J.P. Philadelphia Pa

The Frat House

I recently received the following account:

Love your blog and read it every night. I want to share my experiences, but also want to remain anonymous.

The following is my accounts of what I experienced while living in a haunted fraternity house. As the time goes by since I’ve lived there my memories of what I experienced are beginning to fade so I’ve decided to write down and share everything I remember.

The fraternity house stands in the middle a bunch of factories and warehouses in downtown Cleveland. It’s presence is very out of place as it’s one of only a few historical houses of its age still standing in the area. When I lived there it was very run down, holes in the foundation and some of the floors and just looked like the your quintessential haunted house. I haven’t done any research and the history of the house I learned was just hearsay passed down from the fraternity brothers who lived there before me. I’ve heard that it was once a house of prostitution and a halfway house before the fraternity purchased the property. I’ve heard of some deaths that occurred on or around the property in the past. I heard that the owner of the halfway house had been murdered in the 3rd floor bathroom which was converted to a storage closet when I was living there. And there were two fraternity brothers who passed away. One who heard a gun shot in the streets outside the house and went out to investigate and was shot himself and died on the front steps. Another was involved in a deadly car crash a few blocks away from the house.

I joined the fraternity during my first semester of college with my group of friends I had made and was spending most of my extra time there hanging out and partying on the weekends. By the end of my first year of college I had planned to move in that summer because of an irresistible opportunity of $75 bucks a month rent for my own room and utilities.

I never had a good feeling about the house. From my former experiences growing up in a home with some paranormal activity going on I believe I developed some extra sense to feel spirits or entities around me and I can remember these feeling being off the chart when I was in the house. I can remember I had a strange dream premonition before I moved in. In my dream I was walking up to the house (but it was on a hill not surrounded by concrete streets and buildings) on a stormy night with thunder, lightning and winds howling around the house. It was was full of rats...overflowing! I could see them piled on top of each other through the windows and pouring out from under cracks under the doors and windows. The premonition actually came true as after I had moved in I had discover there was a big rodent problem in the house.

When I had first moved in it was the summer before classes had begun and I had found myself to be alone in the house and completely terrified. I found myself alone there often as I was not from Cleveland but grew up in another city about an hour away. Most of my roommates who were from the Cleveland area were not around on weekends and during college breaks.

I’m a musician by trade and spent a lot of time practicing my instrument during college, as much and any time I could. It always kind of bugged me when I would practice and notice someone listening and I could always tell if someone was looking through the practice room window at the school of music even if I had my back turned to the door. I guess that sixth sense again telling me someone is there. I can remember the first week I moved in the house during the summer finding myself alone again I decided to practice in my room at the house instead of walking to school. I can remember as soon as I began playing I could feel like someone was standing right next to me watching. It was very distracting and creepy to the point that I never practiced there again.

The first major experience I had next to the constant feeling of a presence watching me and following me around was the first of what learned later was a lot of poltergeist activity. I was asleep in my loft in my room when I heard a window close to the bed fly open violently. As frightened as I was I got out of bed to investigate the window. Now I guess if the window was open as its frame was wooden it’s possible due to changing levels of humidity the wooden window frame might expand or contract causing the window to fall and shut. But it was opened, defying all laws of gravity. This left me afraid and puzzled the rest of the night. This was the beginning of a long time of being very fearful at night, just waiting to see what would happen next.

We spent a lot of time with our “sister sorority.” These girls were at all our events and a number of my frat brothers were dating the girls in that sorority. Around Halloween our fraternity and their sorority would go to dinner and then to a haunted house, you know the type you walk through and costumed employees jump out and scare you. We would then head back to our house where we would take everyone to the basement hit all the breaker switches in the electrical box cutting off all power to the house and light some candles and tell ghost stories. After about a half hour it was like the whole house began to shake and we could hear banging on the floor upstairs and pipes rattling in the walls. All the girls ran out the front door screaming that night leaving us trying to explain away what had made the noises.

As I mentioned earlier I slept in a loft, each room was rectangular shaped with raised platform at one end and a small wooden latter to get up there. There was enough space up there for a twin mattress and a little shelf I put at the head of the bed where an electrical outlet was. It was my habit of plugging my cell phone in the outlet and placing it on the little shelf above my head to charge while I slept. The ladder to get up there was also positioned at the head of the bed. I had just got into bed, plugged my cell phone up and pushed the phone and cord to the back of the shelf. As I’m about to fall asleep the phone and cord fall off the shelf onto my head. I thought, OK maybe to wasn’t pushed that far back on the shelf. So I put them back up on the shelf again making sure it was not going to fall again. A little later the phone and cord fall on me again. OK now I’m pretty freaked out and I put the phone back on the shelf a third time. That’s when I feel a phantom hand grab my shoulder. I slept with my sheets over my head that night in absolute fear.

One night we are partying at the house and I had to walk through the kitchen to get to the first floor restroom. There were folding tables set up against one wall of the kitchen for beer pong games which diverted my path to the restroom right past the entrance to the basement. As I walked past the basement stairs I felt what I can only describe as a strong wind that came from the basement. This “wind” was a burst of energy or force that pushed me back and that seemed to pass threw me with strange a feeling that had me convinced I passed through a spirit or an entity passed through me.

After a lot of hard work I had won the yearly undergrad concerto competition sponsored by the School of Music and was preparing for the performance that went along with it. I was pulling other music students out of the hallway in the School of Music into my practice room every chance I got to play through my concerto for them to get as much experience I could performing in front of people. I thought the most judgmental group I could play for was my frat brothers. So after a chapter meeting I got up in front of all of them to play my piece. After I was done and everyone had gone home or back to their rooms, I was standing on top of the front stairs within the view of a large sliding wooden door that closed off the chapter room where our meetings took place. This door was serious, made of solid hard wood and at least 10 foot high and 6 feet across. It was easy to move on the rollers and track to shut it, but when you pushed it open and closed you could feel it’s weight. As we are standing at the top of the stairs I was discussing my performance with two of my closest friends in the fraternity when the door violently slammed shut on its own, with enough force that when it hit the end of the track it swung back and half way shut again. We looked at each other in astonishment “did you see that!” We all seemed to say it to each other at the same time.

Now for the dark stuff. The things I don’t like talking about. At the time I was really practicing hard and taking lessons with two different professors at the same time. After a dinner at a bar with friends of greasy food and a few cocktails I was feeling tired and figured if I went to practice I would really not get anything done. Instead of going to the practice room after dinner as was my habit I decided to go to bed early and wake early to make up the missed practice time. As it wasn’t my usual schedule to go to bed at 7:30 pm I found myself trying hard to fall asleep despite the heavy food in my stomach. As I lay there trying to relax I could hear faint talking, a conversation between two voices coming from inside my room. It was loud enough to distinguish speech patterns from two different voices, but faint enough that I could not make out exactly what they were saying. This continued until I began having images projected into my thoughts. These images were not my own thoughts, I knew that much. They were disturbing to say the least of intricate geometric pentagram shapes, with a baby in the middle attached to weird umbilical cords going into its mouth, nose and ears. Very disturbing and this left me contemplating my own insanity. After I sensed those images I was convinced I was dealing with something more than just a haunting, something more darker.

On a trip home one weekend for mom’s cooking and a free washer and dryer to do my laundry, I decided to take the crucifix which hung in my bedroom through my childhood. I was raised Catholic and figured the crucifix might help protect me if was hung it in my room at the frat house. One day not long after I hung my crucifix I returned to my room in the frat house after a long day of classes and practicing and unlocked my door to find the crucifix I had hung on the wall had been balanced upside down on the tiny nail I used to hang it from. I was astonished and spent the next hour trying to re-position it the way I found it, it was impossible! I placed it back on the nail the right way and then a few days later it was just gone. Vanished. I never found it again.

One night after some drinking with my friends I had what you would call some “liquid courage”. As I laid in bed I spoke to whatever it was saying in my mind “come on, touch me again, I’m not afraid”. I made a huge mistake that night I believe I invited it in somehow. Ever since and to this day I have periodic thoughts to hurt people, my friends and family. They are not my thoughts. I’m not a violent person! It’s like something tells me to do that. When I feel this I say a prayer to myself and have never actually went though with it, but it’s there...always haunting my thoughts and it’s been decades now since this has started.

One night I had been getting ready for bed after a long day. I climbed my ladder up to my loft to get some rest and as soon as I laid down the lights in my room turned on by itself. I even heard the light switch click over on its own. I felt aggravated and a little pissed off more than frightened this time. At this point I may have gotten used to this type of thing. So I climbed down my ladder, walked across the room and turned off the lights and got back into bed. Again the lights turned on. This time I was really pissed at having to again climb down the ladder and turn off the lights. Standing at the light switch for the third time I finally spoke out loud to whatever it was and said in a firm voice “Stop messing with me, I’m tired leave me alone!”. The lights stayed off and I learned valuable lesson that night. Whatever it was, it was feeding off my fear and this time I finally stood up for myself. Things got better from then on. The oppressive heavy feelings I had in my room subsided and I felt empowered to stand up for myself.

One winter it was record-breaking cold, and the wind rolled off Lake Erie and through the Cleveland streets making it feel like pins pricking any exposed skin. It was painful just to walk to and from school. The ancient boiler heater in the house had broke down and the space heater I was using did little to warm up my room. A friend I had back in high school had recently moved to Cleveland to attend law school and after meeting up with him for drinks one night he invited to put me up on his couch until the heater in the frat house had been repaired. Soon after I started staying on my buddy’s couch I received a strange voicemail on my cell phone. All of this occurred over a decade ago and the exact details have escaped me over the years. Here is what I remember about the call. It came up as all symbols, number signs and stars, not a actual phone number. So I ignored it thinking my phone was malfunctioning or something. Then I noticed there was a voicemail. It was a strange low voice in a tone that sounded electronic like with a fuss to it, like you would hear from radio static. It said something like “you’ll never get away” or “you’ll never escape” I played it for my buddy I was staying with he said “wow that’s freaky man, someone is messin' with you”. I knew it wasn’t someone messing with me it was the voice of whatever had been haunting me at the frat house.

I eventually graduated and moved to a southern state for grad school. I’ve had a few weird paranormal experiences since but nothing like what I experienced while living in the frat house. My experiences there got me interested in all things paranormal. TV shows, books and podcasts in my quest to understand what it was that was in that house and what caused all my weird and frightful experiences. AL

Daily 2 Cents: Thought-Form in the Closet? -- Unexplained Incidents -- What Had I Just Seen?

Thought-Form in the Closet?

“I remember having an encounter with a creature in my own home during 2009. I lived with my mom and my brother. In my room there was a walk-in closet with a window all the way in the back. It was late one night when me and my brother went to sleep talking about monsters we thought were fake and utterly ridiculous. We even laughed at the fact that there was something called a Slenderman with no eyes or mouth. So we were obviously not scared of such things.

As we went to sleep I woke up around 3:00 AM which is odd considering we went to bed at 8:00 that night. I'm not one to wake up abruptly unless it's something wrong. I remembered feeling a presence besides my brother and me in the room. It was cold and quite frightening to be honest. I looked around in my room hoping to see my mom watching over us from the door way of the closet (I don't know why I thought it would be her but I did). Since our nightlight was on I could see things pretty clearly. I looked to my left to see a tall figure in our closet, it had an oval like head with small eyes and appendages hanging from it's face almost like a scruffy beard but it made more sense that it would be some type of structure. It looked over the both of us up and down. At first I thought it was my mind playing tricks on me, since I could be very imaginative but what snapped me out of this is when it pushed some of the clothes hangers out the way and the fact that the window was open. It's skin looked rough and pasty almost like it was in a sauna for two years. It caught a whiff of me being awake and almost immediately I lost consciousness and control over my body. All accounts that were had from that night had not been fully remembered the following morning. Besides the fact that my sheets were in my closet instead of on my bed.” - Crooked Beats0v0

Unexplained Incidents

Honestly this is not a hoax. Back in 2003 when my wife and I lived in Mocksville, NC I believe I had an encounter with aliens. I remembered seeing two very strange looking creatures standing at the foot of my bed! I closed my eyes and reopened them and they were gone. I thought maybe I had still been dreaming so I went back to sleep, but it took awhile as I was a little freaked out.

The next morning I got about 7:00 AM to get my shower before I left for work. When I got in the shower and the water ran down my leg I noticed a burning feeling on the back of my left leg. When I turned my leg around to see what it was I had a perfect 2" X 2" square of hair missing on my leg and it was a little red??? I'm not sure what exactly happened that night, but needless to say it freaked me totally out. My wife is the only other person I have told about this, because I figured people would think I'm crazy.

About a year later I got up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom. While using the bathroom I noticed a white light zipping across the sky. As I began to stare at it, the object completely stopped. About 30 seconds later it took off again so fast I almost lost track of it. I got my wife up and showed it to her. Neither of us had any idea what in the world it could be since there are no aircraft that I know of that can move like that. - NUFORC

What Had I Just Seen?

“Back in the 80's, in Phoenix, I was driving downtown when I spotted a man dressed all in black - turtleneck sweater in middle of summer in Arizona? His face was stark white, his hair black, his eyes very dark. I looked at him carefully as I passed him and noticed a woman in a bright red shirt. How much of a contrast the two posed as they walked down the street. I glanced in my side mirror and he wasn't there but when I turned my head, he was there walking on the sidewalk! He was completely invisible in my mirrors but yet there he was next to the lady in the red shirt! He made eye contact with me for a few seconds but it felt like time slowed down as he walked past my window. When the light changed and I moved forward, he was crossing the street going in my direction and as I passed through the intersection I looked in my mirror, he was not there. I took a quick look and as I turned my head his eyes were on me again. I sped up and drove away... shaken. What had I just seen?” - Angel Woolf

Lights in the Sky, Growling Creature and Voices in the Woods

I received the following account this morning:

I live near Pevely, Missouri, not far from the Mississippi River. This incident took place on June 30, 2018 about 1 AM my time. I was having trouble sleeping since it was very warm and I was restless. I went outside onto the back porch to smoke and saw a small yellow light in the sky in front of me. I didn't think much of it but it was getting closer. I moved a bit to my left in order to get a better look and it suddenly stopped. I stood still and continued watching it. About a minute later, I noticed two more lights approaching from the same direction. There was now a large dim yellow light and two smaller bright lights, one was white and the other was orange. The orange light then flashed brightly and then there was a loud 'bang' a second later. The white light disappeared, but the orange light started to come towards me while the dim yellow light seemed to observe what was going on from a distance.

I was becoming more curious and attempted to signal it to come closer, but it stopped and started to back away until it disappeared. I was mesmerized by this activity and continued to observe. The orange light then reappeared, accompanied by the white light. The lights were dancing around the sky, going in all different directions.

I stood there, lit another cigarette and watched the lights for about 15 minutes. Then I heard a distinct 'growling' sound coming from the woods behind the house. I could literally hear this thing walking through the brush, cracking limbs as it moved closer. It was growling and snarling. As it moved closer to me, I could see white orbs of various sizes flying throughout the woods. Then the growling and footfalls stopped. After a few seconds, I heard what sounded like someone was calling my name from a distance. There was another call coming another direction as well. I was beginning to get scared, but I wanted to know what this was. Then suddenly a load roar emanated from the edge of the woods. It was so terrifying that also lost the use of my legs. I quickly gathered myself and ran into the house and locked the door. I peeked out the kitchen window and attempted to take photos of the orbs, but the phone went dead. I had just charged the damn thing! I didn't hear anymore roars or sounds, and the orbs soon disappeared.

The next day, July 1st, I called my neighbor who lives down the road on a small farm. I asked her if she had heard or seen anything the previous night. She replied by telling me that something got into her barn and killed 2 turkeys, but she never heard or saw anything. I asked her if I could come over and look around, and she agreed. As I looked around the barn I didn't see anything unusual, but her livestock was very skittish. Her dogs and cat never came outside and were hunkered down in the barn.

I don't know what killed the turkeys, but I have no doubt it was the same thing in the woods behind my house. I later walked through the woods and didn't see anything out of the ordinary, but there was what I would call an electric or static charge that affected me has I walked around. It actually gave me a bad headache.

I decided to contact you in regards to this experience because I haven't felt well since then. I'm very weak and have trouble keeping my food down. If it gets worse, I may need to go to the doctor. Have you heard or read any similar situations like this? My brother believes that this was a Bigfoot, but it still doesn't explain the lights, the orbs, the voices and how I feel. Thanks for reading. JM

NOTE: I called and talked to the witness' wife. She informed me that JM had gone to the doctor. JM called me about noon today and said that the doctor diagnosed his illness as a stomach virus, but JM doesn't believe that is what's affecting him. As I have mentioned in the past, there does seem to be a lot of orb activity associated with Bigfoot sightings or areas where Bigfoot have been seen...especially in reports received here in Pennsylvania. As well, there have been instances where UFO activity has also been noted in relation to Bigfoot sightings. JM's experience could have very well have been a Bigfoot encounter, but I'm not discounting that something else may be involved because of the other anomalies. Lon

Daily 2 Cents: Elevator Opens Into the Twilight Zone -- Helped by 4 MIB -- Tall Black Shiny Aliens

Elevator Opens Into the Twilight Zone

“Back when my mom was in the hospital, I stayed with her for about 5 days. She was on the 6th floor whereas the food court and snack machines were on the basement floor. I live in a small town so our hospital is the only place that has 6 floors. I went up and down the elevator so much that I knew this place like the back of my hands. Anyway, one day I was going down to get a drink and a Kit Kat. Everything was normal except the card reader on the coke machine didn’t work. I got on the elevator and selected the 6th floor when I got off, there was just empty walls. No nurses stations, no rooms, no painting, furniture, nothing. I walked towards one end to see random size white buildings and the other end to see tall skyscrapers and a shiny, metal window type building. I called out over and over but no one replied. I went to the stop where the elevators were and they were gone. I took out my phone to call the hospital to tell them I was lost but my phone didn't have any bars (this was a few years ago with the flip phones) I kept looking at the windows hoping to find some sort of person that I can alert but no one was down there; no cars for miles. After realizing that I was literally screwed, my panic attacks kicked in.

I laid on the ground, staring at the wall, trying to calm myself down for a half hour. When I woke up, the place all looked the same except for the elevators, they were back and I felt a sigh of relief. I got in, pushed the 5th floor which was the maternity ward and the doors shut. When they opened, there was the basic light colored walls, borders trimmed with little duckies and the sounds of people talking and babies crying. I found the fire escape and figured I'll take my chances on getting to mom's floor. I opened the door and I was back on the 6th floor, the real one. I walked into mom's room and she said 'That was fast'. I told her I must have been gone for over an hour but she said I had been gone for less than 5 minutes. I looked at the TV and The Bold & The Beautiful was still on (it's a 30 minute show). I don't know what happened to me or where I was but I still don’t trust elevators.” - Lisa Gibson

Helped by 4 MIB

Near Cave Junction, OR: In 1980, on a late spring day, I was driving up to Oregon when I somehow got off on a logging road which was winding along a steep mountain. After a while, I noticed that the road was narrowing, and I was afraid to follow it any further. I decided to try and turn my car around, and drive back to Cave Junction, Oregon which was about 30 minutes away. As I was backing up the car, it went off of the road, and the rear end of the car was off the road and the car was tottering. I slowly got out, and was trying to figure out how to get my dogs out, which were in their kennel in the back of the car. If I tried to reach them, the car could tumble down the cliff. While I was trying to decide what to do, a big car pulled up, and 4 tall oriental men, with a strange skin tone, (too orange) got out of the car. In spite of the 100+ degree heat of the day, they were all wearing black trench coats. I said 'Hello', and they did not reply. Without a word, they went to the front of my car, and picked it up, and sat it back in the road, facing the direction back to home. I do not think that even twice that number of humans could have lifted my car from the front end only and place it on the road. I do not remember how I got past their car, or they passed mine, as they were headed up the fire break road as I was originally as well. The after-thought of the encounter left me really scared, and as soon as I was back in town, I rented a hotel room and slept for a couple of days. I apologize for reporting this some 40 years later. Those weird men on the mountain saved our lives, but they still scared me. - NUFORC

Tall Black Shiny Aliens

I recently received the following account:

It was the summer of 1995 when I was 19-years-old, living in Culpepper, Virginia. I really didn't see an alien space craft but I was abducted. It all started when I was sleeping in my bedroom. I was sleeping on my bed when I rolled over onto my left side. I opened my eyes and saw this alien looking down on me. The alien was smoke (black) colored skin, had shiny, black reflective eyes. It was tall and slender. When I looked into the eyes of the alien, I immediately froze. I was defenseless and had no control over my body. I couldn't even move or speak. I tried to open my mouth and scream but I couldn't. The alien took over my neurological system, which made it difficult for me to move. The only thing that I could do was watch in horror.

The alien then lifted their hand and I suddenly saw a bright flash of light that last for about a second. I was then on what appeared to be the craft. The room (inside the craft) was really bright. I saw 3 other aliens. They had me on a hard bed which was made out of some type of smooth stone. I then watched them inject a needle that had 3 smaller needles around it, inside my right bicep. I didn't feel any pain but I was able to feel the coldness of the needle. After the injection, an alien came over to me, lifted his hand up and a bright flash of light fulfilled my eyes. I was then back in my house, laying on my bed. I got out of bed and went into the kitchen and turned on the light. There, I observed my right arm (bicep muscle) and I saw markings (red dots) where they had injected me with their needles. I saw one dot, about 3cm and 3 smaller dots (about 1cm) that surrounded the bigger dot. This was my encounter. RR

The 'Grey' in the Cage

The following account was recently posted at MUFON:

University of California at Berkeley - 1981-01-01 - 12:00: Hello, thank you for your time. An acquaintance of many years told me about an extraterrestrial encounter that is neither an abduction or a UFO sighting. I recently posted this story to Reddit in hopes of finding other people who were there, but found no luck. One response recommended contacting MUFON about the incident. I'm primarily searching to verify the story by finding out if other people have reported it as well, since it apparently involved a few dozen, or perhaps a hundred people.

According to this acquaintance's experience, they were one of two high school students selected from their school to be part of an experiment which took place in 1981. There were dozens of pairs from other schools across California, always one girl and one boy. I'm not sure the metrics by which they were chosen. Regardless, the experiment was run by the US Federal Government, consisting of a several-day stay on the Berkeley campus, during which the students were to be housed and fed by government representatives, apparently "men-in-black" type spooks.

The first few days involved experimentation in psychic powers, such as telekinesis and remote viewing. My source specifically described these sessions to me. In the telekinetic sessions, for example, the students were asked to mentally spin a top which was balanced at the end of a stick they were holding. In the remote viewing sessions, they were supposed to see what was placed in front of a person in another room, although my source could only accurately "view" a hole in the ceiling of that room. But the most important aspect of this experiment took place on the final day. The students were seated in an auditorium, the exits of which were all guarded by armed uniformed soldiers. The students were told that they would be shown something which may terrify them, but warned them not to try to leave the room. What was shown to them was a cage with a creature sitting inside. The creature, which was described to me as one of the "Greys", looked sick and frail. Some of the students panicked upon seeing the creature, some calmly went toward the cage. But at the end of the experience, the students were warned not to speak of anything which had happened during the past few days, or else they and their families would disappear.

I've searched the internet for this story, but have never found another person who has written about it. So either the story is false, exaggerated, or nobody has spoken out about it. If the last is the case, then I would like to know. I have kept two minor details from the story as a way to verify whether another person was indeed there: the description of the creature's cage, and something that was shouted in the room before that person was removed. And if this just looks like delusional nonsense, then I understand completely if I get no response. If there is a more pertinent academic source I can contact, I would appreciate being pointed in that direction. Regards, Harry

NOTE: I would truly like to discuss this situation with Harry. If anyone can find his post on Reddit, please LMK...or ask him to contact me. This situation sounds very similar to MK ULTRA experiments, and more recently DARPA research, conducted by the military and CIA. In fact, I have been told of an event that occurred in an eastern US university during the early 1970s that mirrors some of the of Harry's descriptions. I'm not acknowledging that the event actually took place, but hopeful more information will come to light. Lon

Daily 2 Cents: My Life of Strange Events -- 'Please pass the Iguana...' -- Woman Discovered Alive in Mortuary Cooler

My Life of Strange Events

I recently received the following accounts from a reader in Ireland:

Hi Lon,

I've been an avid reader of you're site for a good few years. I enjoy reading witnesses first hand accounts of their encounters with various entity's and paranormal experiences.

It never dawned on me to share my own experiences until now. I do this in the hope that it will help others, in some meaningful way, who may be having similar experiences.

I live in south eastern Ireland and have done so all my life.

My first experience happened when I was very young.

I had gone to a motorbike racing event with my family that day and was exhausted by the time we got home. I immediately went straight to bed. I awoke abruptly in the middle of the night to see a figure peering at me from behind a small white locker at the end of my brothers bed. It was all completely black like a shadow. I could not see any features only the outline of what looked like long hair which extended to the bottom it's neck. The locker was only a few feet high so this entity must of been very short. When I seen it it immediately retreated back behind the locker.

After this I got up and caused a bit of a commotion, taking the sweeping brush from the kitchen and trying to route it out from under the bed! I awoke the rest of my family. My parents fobbed it off as a dream.

This was the beginning of a string of strange events that have followed me throughout my life.

After this event I began to hear a strange sound on the carpet if I was in the room alone or it was very quiet, but more so at night. It was like someone slowly moving along the carpet or dragging their hand across it very slowly. At first this really frightened me, I did not like to be in my room alone at night and avoided it as much as possible. But as time went on it became a slight annoyance. With me proclaiming "Just show yourself" out of frustration on a few occasions!

I began to have night terrors and sleep paralysis with the feeling of strange monsters sitting on my chest growling and holding me down. I would scream for my parents but nothing would come out.

On another occasion I awoke early one morning around five or six a.m. I heard the dragging on the carpet which seemed louder and clearer that usual. I called to my brother in the bed opposite me when suddenly a plastic bag, which was lying on the ground, flew up in the air of it's on accord. There were no windows, doors or air vents open. The room was very still.

I eventually moved into the spare room on my own. When here I started to hear the key turning in the door on it's own. It always seemed to happen when I was just about asleep or in between sleeping and awake. At the time it happened I was always one hundred percent sure it was happening, but the next day I would always second guess myself.

My brother and I had always had an interest in paranormal, mysteries, UFO's etc. So I would tell him everything. My brothers room was right next to mien. He would always stay up all night on the internet while our parents slept to avoid them taking it away from him. It was very quiet in the night there and you could literally have a conversation with someone across the park by speaking lowly. One night while I was in the bed my brother burst into my room proclaiming that he had heard the key turning in the door. I knew then that it wasn't just in my mind.

Early one morning I awoke to see a dark shape at the end of my bed. It was roughly in a stretched triangular shape. It quickly disappeared and then reappeared closer to me at my feet. Then disappearing and reappearing even closer at my knees. This continued until it was right by my face. I then blanked out and didn't awake until the morning.

Other times I would awake in the middle of the night and see strange shapes swirling in front of me. Staring at them I would think "That is actually there, it's real" but the next day I would't be so
sure and would second guess myself.

Another time I could hear the usual dragging on the carpet. At this stage I was so used to it that I wasn't that afraid. Suddenly I heard a strange wailing outside that sounded like a woman. It did not frighten me as I was puzzled as to what it could be. But then I heard the sound of a baby crying. My knees instantly turned to jelly as I recognized what it was. The Banshee! I had heard tales about her being the hearld of death and that it sometimes was accompanied by the sound of a baby crying.

This sound was not stationary but all over the place. At one point it would be outside my window and the next it would be across the park then back outside my window and then a quarter of a mile away in a field. All of this in a very short time span that was not physically possible.

When I told people about it they dismissed it as cats, but this was not cats. I know what the sound of cats is like as I used to hear them fighting all the time while staying in my grandparents house when I was younger. They would start screeching out of the blue right on the windowsill. They would scare the life out of you!!! But this was quite clearly the sound of a human baby crying and a woman wailing and moaning. The next day I found out that my grandmothers sister had been found dead that morning...
After this experience I knew that there was more to all of the stories of fairies and the like as I had heard first hand the "legend" that was the Banshee. I knew now there was more to all the stories and legends told.

My friends told me of a similar experience they had one night after a party in my parents shed. My parents shed was kitted out with a bar, sound system and pool table. We went there after the pub one night, I think it may of been someones birthday. After a night of drinking I went to bed and my friends went to walk home as it was the middle of the country. It was early morning by this time. As they were walking they said that they heard a strange moaning and wailing noise, going through the fields, that sounded like nothing they ever heard. It moved all around them from one area to the next moving too quickly to be a physical entity. They said that it was all over the place but didn't see anything. They were so terrified that they literally grabbed a hold of each other and ran all the way home!

This reaffirmed my experience.

In the night I began to have a recurring dream about being chased by a black bull in a fenced off area nearly always on a beach or sometimes in a field. Every-time I would reach the fence and climb it within inches of freedom the bull would catch me and stick it's horns in me. This would result in me waking up with an actual physical sensation in my lower back where the bulls horns had penetrated. It was like someone was poking my lower back with their finger. It was a similar sensation as if someone tickled you're underarm. This sensation began to occur with other dreams also. In those dreams there was always a malevolent presence. I could not speak or move. I always got the overwhelming feelings of hopelessness, pointlessness and fear. But I would never give up resisting it. It was like it was trying to break my will and make me give up but I always held on. It felt like my very being was hanging from the thinnest of threads and what was the point in holding on, that it was going to happen anyway, but I always did. It always eventually stopped in the end. This went on for years.

In the night I would wake up and have a feeling of dreading familiarity like "Oh this again" but the next day I would usually forget about it. Only remembering again the next time that it happened. More recently I would awake in the middle of the night and feel like that I was just about to die. It felt like there was absolutely nothing between me and the veil of death. I would be overcome with overwhelming fear of which I have never known before. I felt like I was completely empty and void of a soul or spirit. It was terrible. I believe that this entity was inducing this feeling and feeding off of my fear. This started to happen very frequently and nearly every night at one stage. I always forgot about it during the day.

As the years went by I very seldom had the night terror/sleep paralysis experiences with the strange sensation in my back. I didn't experience it for years until one night very recently.

I was in the half awake half asleep state and could feel the sensation in my back along with a malevolent presence. For the first time I seemed to have level of control so I visualized a protection technique that I learned previously. When I done this I heard a mocking/jeering laugh! I heard this very distinctly. After this I awoke fully. This was the first time I heard anything like that.

I believe that this entity could have been a Jinn. As they usually take a black shadow like form. But whatever it was it was feeding off of me like a parasite. There is so much we do not understand about the spiritual realm and this is being taken advantage of by entity's like these praying on unsuspecting people like naive tourists in a foreign country. We need to understand how to protect ourselves from these beings if we are to advance spiritually as I think that they have means to influence our thoughts,emotions and unconscious mind in attempts to keep us in repetitive destructive cycles so that we remain stagnant and easy for them to feed off of.

How many people that are assigned to mental institutions that hear "voices" are actually mentally unwell or are they being tormented from another plane making them mentally unwell?

How many people that commit heinous crimes commit them out of their own free will or are under the insidious influence of emotional harvesting beings?

How many people who commit suicide actually think bad thoughts about themselves or are their self destructive thoughts being influenced by an unseen force with bad intentions to entrap their soul when they die?

Just something to think about...

Woman Discovered Alive in Mortuary Cooler

A South African woman was mistakenly brought to the morgue and stored in a fridge after she was declared dead following a car accident.

The unnamed woman was discovered breathing by a morgue worker who was reportedly writing a report and checking on the body, according to TimesLive, a South African news site. The Distress Alert paramedics who brought her in said that she had shown “no form of life.” She is currently being treated at a hospital.

“There is no proof of any negligence by our crew,” Distress Alert operations manager Gerrit Bradnick told TimesLive. "This did not happen because our paramedics are not properly trained. Equipment used to determine life showed no form of life on the woman."

Two other people involved in the June 24 crash were dead, according to Bradnick. Read more at Woman discovered alive inside mortuary refrigerator

'Please pass the Iguana...'

While many people view South Florida’s invasive iguana population as an annoyance at best and a pandemic at worst, Ishmeal Asson sees something else: lunch.

The Fort Lauderdale resident and native Trinidadian considers eating iguanas to be a way of life. Growing up, Asson learned to roast the island critters at roadside and backyard gatherings. Iguana is a staple in the Caribbean, where the reptiles are a native species and are known as “pollo de los árboles,” or chicken of the trees. Their meat contains more protein than chicken, and members of some cultures believe it has medicinal properties.

In South Florida, Asson is hardly alone in his taste for cooked iguana. He has more than a dozen friends who eat the animal, and they frequently hunt them using nets, snares and traps. “We are having a cookout this weekend,” he said earlier this week.

Weekend 2 Cents: Leaping Bigfoot! -- I am afraid I can't do that, Dave' -- Confronted by Insectoids

Leaping Bigfoot!

Pam in Oregon called in to tell of her Bigfoot sighting:

“My story is not very long so I'll make it as quick as I can. My dad, back in '78 was a Portland policeman for 30 years. And once a year I used to get to go with him while he did his police work for a book report at school or something. I was 12. Well, we were coming home. We worked the graveyard, coming home at 4 in the morning, about seven miles north of Hubbard, Oregon. We lived down a gravel road which was about one mile from a school. It was all gravel but it was big enough for two cars to go by each other. And we were just, you know, I was half asleep but awake and he and I both saw something jump the road as if it was previously running already. It jumped the WHOLE road which was at least ten feet wide. It didn't even take a step in the middle. It jumped off the edge of the ditch and right into the orchard right next to where we lived. I kind of looked at him and he looked at me. He was a very quiet man but we just said, like, what was that?

We got to the house and we parked the car in the driveway and we were both kind of running trying to get through the door as fast as we could. My nerves were so shot that that night before I went to bed, like this was morning. I told my sister that we're moving my bunk beds, we're moving them to the other wall because we lived in a three story house and I didn't want this thing looking in my attic window. So after that, I didn't saying anything to anybody except my mom and I didn't have friends around that lived close and school was out so the weird thing was.

A week later a doctor in his little red Volkswagen went down the same road towards town. He saw the same thing and he was so scared that he stopped at the police station and, of course, that got out and it was wrote up in the paper and all that... It looked just like the Patterson one (referring to the Bigfoot creature filmed by Roger Patterson) except lighter hair.”

'I am afraid I can't do that, Dave'

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (Reuters) - A science fiction-inspired robot hardwired to assist astronauts launched from Florida early Friday to become the first personal, artificial intelligence-powered companion in space.

The Crew Interactive Mobile Companion, or CIMON, is an English-speaking droid roughly the size of a basketball that will help German astronaut Alexander Gerst conduct experiments on the International Space Station.

“What we’re trying to do with CIMON is to increase the efficiency of the astronaut,” Matthias Biniok, an engineer for chip maker IBM and one of the lead architects behind CIMON’s artificial intelligence, told Reuters.

CIMON will verbally communicate step-by-step instructions to Gerst during three planned science experiments on the space station’s European module. Currently, astronauts read these instructions from a laptop, which Biniok says is an arduous process that a responsive, hands-free companion like CIMON can replace.

Confronted by Insectoids

Reading, PA - 2013-07-15 - 04:05: Awoke from a difficult sleep paralyzed to notice two insect-like humanoids. Each had a opaque, large, triangular eyes and from an aesthetic standpoint were hideous. They hung their arms in front of them dangling. Their legs appeared very muscular but emaciated otherwise. The skin had a rippled or more likely wrinkled appearance. I felt little fear surprisingly whether this was a dream or not. Both stared at me for an unknown period of time. After a while one of them, for some reason I felt as if he was 'outranked', crouched beside my bed while the other simply watched. I remember that within my mind I yelled at them and said, 'wait,' and then followed with 'help us.' as in help humanity through this troubled era or something? Maybe I saw them as some technological messiah or something. But upon stating that the smaller (by no means small) one looked over to the tall one. I have no memory of waking the next day. No activity since this date (the exact day is approximate) but time and month are reliable. Just thought i would share this. - MUFON
