MYSTERIOUS MALL SHAPESHIFTER Looked Like CHARLIE CHAN!

"He looked exactly like Charlie Chan, from skin complexion all the way down to the black bowler hat. He was even dressed in the same style of suit he wore in the old movies!"

I received the following account:

“Here is my strange people story. In the summer of 1989, I was working in the St. Anne Mall, Northwest Plaza, in St. Louis County, Missouri. I had just gotten off work a bit early as it was a slow business day. There weren't very many people out and the Mall was nearly a ghost town. I was heading through the mall to the parking lot. As I came near the center of the mall I was passing Russell Stover Candies near the intersection of four hallways. Just as I got to about center of the store around the corner from the western hallway came a man dressed very oddly. He looked exactly like Charlie Chan, EXACTLY LIKE HIM. From skin complexion all the way down to the black Bowler hat. He was even dressed in the same style of suit Charlie Chan wore in the old movies. This was odd enough, however, what happened next really is the strange part.

Making eye contact with the "person" startled me enough to make me glance away for a second. When I say a second, I really mean only for a second. When I looked back at the man, his entire appearance had changed. Now he was a middle-aged white guy dressed in a light brown modern suit with no hat and carrying an umbrella, which was strange as it had not rained in several days and there was no foul weather in the forecast for at least another week. I looked at and made eye contact with the "person" again and he smiled slightly with a smirk and gave me a wink as if to say 'How's this?' or 'Is this better?' and he just continued on his way without saying a word. I looked around to see if the person wearing the black suit had simply slipped past without me seeing but there was no one else around in that hallway or in the intersection and I could clearly see all four hallways.

To this day I wish I had pressed the "person" about what I know I saw. I do not believe that what I saw was human nor do I believe that it was a ghost. It could have been a shapeshifter, however, I don't believe that if it was a shapeshifter in an intelligent being as I do not believe that it would have attracted attention to itself by shifting into someone else in front of that person who found it odd in the first place. I believe that the shift in appearance was more likely due to a bad A.I. program that could detect when its appearance had caused confusion and then correct its appearance to conform to something more normal to the viewer. Yes, I realize that this would mean that every viewer would see it differently, however, that would not be a problem for a significantly advanced A.I. communicating at brainwave level.” E

GROWLING BIGFOOT Frightens Cabin Renters Near Cherokee, NC (VIDEO)

The cabin renters see a dark tall creature on the porch. It fits the image of Bigfoot. Big broad shoulders, black hair, and ape features.

"We had an encounter in Whittier, NC in 2021. I had a cabin rental.

That Friday we came in late from sightseeing in the area around Cherokee. While she was fixing us a late snack something made a noise on the porch. I went into the kitchen to look out the window and saw nothing. We thought it to be a deer or raccoon but then it knocked something over and we heard a deer growl. We went into the living room and I went over to the couch where my pistol and phone were on a lamp table.

It stopped in front of the window, there was a nightlight on the pole outside and it lit up the porch enough for us to see a dark tall creature on the porch. It fits the image of Bigfoot. Big broad shoulders, black hair, and ape features.

My first thought was to pick up the phone to get a pic of it but then I thought I better pick up the pistol. It grunted one more time and went on up the mountain. She and I were scared very, we cut all the lights and put chairs against the doors. We were awake all night and left in daylight.

I looked around on the porch, and a huge flower pot was knocked over. I didn't see any footprints on or near the porch. Many leaves had fallen during a storm. I never want to see one that close again, it was within 3 feet from the window. I am 6 feet tall and it was at least 8 feet tall Very scary experience." J

THE 'STARE DOWN!' Creepy Camping in Nova Scotia

"We whispered frantically about who it could be and why was he staring at us. And for the next 10 minutes, no joke, we stared him down. The longer we stared at him the more frightened we got."

I received the following account:

"Hi. As teenagers, my friend and I went camping in the Annapolis Valley, Nova Scotia. We decided to sleep in this abandoned camper, which we found deep in a large forest near our town. It had been there so long that small trees had grown around it. We stumbled across it when we were exploring a few months back and thought it would be cool to sleep there for a night. So, one weekend, we did it.

We arrived after dark because we had gotten lost trying to find the camper. Our low-power flashlight made it even more difficult. Once we finally found it, we opened the rusty door and stepped in. The sounds inside the camper were shrill and echoey. Things were strewn about: cups, empty cans, and swollen pulp fiction novels.

Already tired, we holed up at one end of the camper, where the bed area had originally been before the cushions had rotted away to almost nothing. A long hallway stretched the length of the camper, so we could see from end to end.

It was a miserable night. Several rats were living in there. I saw them staring at us from a chewed-out part of the ceiling. When the wind blew outside the camper would shriek and groan. We even thought we heard a bear outside too, walking around. Still, we feigned bravery and acted like we were having a good time. But we were on edge.

At some point, I woke up from an uncomfortable sleep. I sat up to adjust myself when I noticed some movement out of the corner of my eye. At the other end of the camper, there was a small window, and as I looked at it I saw a man's silhouette. He was clearly staring straight at me from outside.

At first, I thought maybe it was a weird shape of a tree or something. But when I moved a bit to get a better look the person clearly reacted and then froze. My heart was pumping and I woke up my friend immediately, saying "Someone is here" over and over and over in a whisper, not taking my eyes off his profile. He woke up immediately and I nodded towards the window.

He saw him too. We whispered frantically about who it could be and why was he staring at us. And for the next 10 minutes, no joke, we stared him down. The longer we stared at him the more frightened we got. Occasionally he would move, but always keeping his eyes locked on us. Eventually, I shouted at him, "Hey!". No reaction.

My friend was braver than me and decided to shine the flashlight at him. As soon as he did we realized our horrible mistake. It wasn't a window at all on the other side of the camper. It was a mirror. We had been staring down at ourselves from the very start. Completely idiotic. Still, it was the most fearful, relieving, and funny moment of my life I'll never forget it. Closest to the paranormal I've ever been." H

SKELETAL ANIMAL PROTECTORS Encountered in Traverse City, Michigan

A man in Michigan encountered unknown beings that he believed were protecting him while he conducted his daily walk. What could these entities be?

I recently received the following account:

"Recently, I was walking up one of my longer road routes, and at one point, there is a small intersection. A fire road to your right goes up a hill, while going along the paved road will bring you into an isolated wooded area, with only 3 houses spaced out from one another.

In between this wooded area and the random houses, there is a quarter mile patch of dense woods, where from the road you can clearly see a dilapidated abandoned farm house and shed. We have lived in this area almost 6 years (near Traverse City, MI). I sense something was watching.

It happened 4 more times, and although it was a bit scary, I knew I wasn't in danger. But I began to see these beings with my mind's eye. The more regularly I walked that way, and the calmer I was, they were easier to see.

There were usually 4 or 5, at least 10 to 12 feet tall. All of them had different animal skull heads: a steer, a ram, an elk, a moose and an ibex. They had massive bodies (or massive coats) of different colored animal fur, and hand-type appendages that looked like freakishly long human hands.

They were always led by the steer, and usually would circle around me. But never in a violent or frightening way. They conveyed to me they were protecting me. I asked from what, but got no answer.

I noticed not long after encountering these friends, I began to struggle with time slips on my walks. Whether I have some extra weight on my frame or not, 2 of the 3 directions I can walk are radically steep climbs going home. So when I began getting home in less than a quarter of the time, my wife stressed to me to stop taking music.

I listened. One morning, coming back down the route my woodland friends resided in, the ram and ibex appeared suddenly and I suddenly felt afraid. They related with anger they had warned me not to walk this way anymore, and I was not heeding their warnings. If I continued to ignore their pleas, I would be left "utterly alone to (my) peril."

They slowly bent down towards me, and I did not want to look into their eye sockets. But that's all I could do. There was a horribly loud screeching white noise static sound, then silence.

I rubbed my eyes, and quick continued walking home. I felt utterly disoriented, and I couldn't figure out why.

I get home, and as I am walking up our yard, my wife is frantic. She shouts at me "Where the hell have you been?" And I defensively told her she knew I always walk in the morning.

Her face conveyed something I was not initially catching. She asked me if I knew what time it was. I said I did not. She told me it was noon. I left for my walk at 7 am. A walk that should have gotten me home no later 8:30.

When we discussed everything I had experienced, we both agreed walking that way was really not a smart idea. I do walk outside now, but not for the long walks I did. Usually just trips under 30 minutes.

I have not had any more direct contact with these beings, but I know they are always there, watching over the woods, and observing the humans.

I still have no clue what they were protecting me from. All I know is I will listen to their warnings." J

Experiencer's Terrifying & Dark GREY ALIEN ENCOUNTER While in Mississippi Jail!

A young Mississippi man recalls his strange encounter, possible abduction, by Grey aliens. He was shown fairy tail and biblical-related visions or movies during the scenario.

I received the following bizarre account:

“I thought that I would contact you to add to your expansive list of reports. I had an abduction-type scenario happen while I was in jail in Hattiesburg, Mississippi in May 2023. I was 22 years old. I was being projected fairy tale stories as well (referring to other abductees who claimed that they were shown cartoon characters during their abduction experiences) but I broke through them and saw what was happening.

There were three Grey aliens behind a 2-way mirror. I was in a cell-like room with normal men attaching wires to my head and these Greys were projecting these images on me. As I tried to look away, my head hummed with such intensity that it hurt and I had to look back toward them. They seemed angry that I had broken through and saw them.

One of them was so intensely creepy and was more toward the front of the other 2 and on the left of them. This Grey alien looked so old, that's the only way I can describe it. It looked ancient! Its head was enormous and had a very long skinny taper down to its chin. But they were projecting the images on what appeared to be a flat screen-like television on the bunk above me.

I also saw many biblical things in these visions/movies. What was odd about them, not that they weren't odd already, was there was audio with the movie and I could still hear. This audio played - I looked around the jail cell at everything as it was supposed to be. Then when I looked back, the movie was still playing as if I were watching an actual film. The fairy tale I remember being projected the strongest was 'Hansel and Gretel.' It was the most terrifying and dark movie I've ever seen.” S

TALL, BLACK-HOODED ENTITY 'SPEWS TAR-LIKE SUBSTANCE' & Mimics Eyewitness

A young British female describes her encounter with a tall, black-hooded entity that throws up a tar-like substance and then mimics the eyewitness.

I received the following account:

"Hi. I live in a small town in the United Kingdom, and this happened several years ago when I was around 12 years old. So, early adolescence, I’m 19 now and a female I should add. It was around 9 pm at night and in the winter and it gets dark around 6/7pm usually. So again around 9 pm, I’m leaving my grandma's house which at the time was just a street away from mine, and this being the street that this took place on.

I get around to the street and because it’s a road with houses on either side and a hill when you walk onto it you’ve got a clear sight of the whole place and even though it is dark it’s lit up by street lamps all the way down so not too menacing, but in short, I could see no one was on the street. So I chose a pathway and started making my way down the street, and about 3 houses down I noticed that a tall person was standing directly parallel to me, almost like he appeared from nowhere. This scared me and I stopped walking and just looked at him.

He was facing away from me looking down the street towards the bottom of the hill, but his head was hung and he was looking at the pavement as if he was asleep standing up. He was wearing all black from what I could tell and had his hood up. I think I remember trying to make a weird “Are you okay” conversation. When I get scared I have weird ways of trying to rationalise it at the moment I was hoping he would say “Oh yeah I’m fine I’m drunk” or whatever and walk into a nearby house. Instead, he didn’t react except for opening his mouth and throwing up this thick black tar-looking substance. It was A LOT and it made a slap noise against the concrete and it really tripped me out. Then after that, he turned his head towards me really slowly, he like bent his neck and kept his body still if you can imagine that, but I couldn’t see his face, his hood was giving a grim reaper effect.

That was officially a big 'nope' and I didn’t know what else to do besides just carry on walking down the street, so I did and to my horror when I looked across the street he was copying me and walking down the street at my pace. It sounds stupid but I stopped again I’m not sure exactly why I was hoping he’d carry on walking but he stopped as well. So I started to sprint and so did he at the exact same pace once again, and at this point, I started accepting that something was going to happen to me and I stopped again. This time however the tall figure carried on sprinting down the hill and I watched as it sped up so freakishly fast that he cleared the street in around 5 seconds. He got to a main road at the end and I was on my knees because my legs gave up on me I was so frightened. He let out this scream and imagined the most robotic but human scream you can, like loud but the same pitch, and then it scattered away down the main road.

I’m not going pretend I know what it is, I’m open to any interpretation." A

More Atypical DEER-LIKE CREATURES Reported in Westmoreland County, PA

Yesterday, I posted Strange DEER-LIKE ENTITY Observed in Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania. I received the following note from Stan Gordon later in the day:

"Hi, Lon. I just saw your story about the deer-like entity in Westmoreland County? Do you know near what community this took place and when this occurred? I have been hearing an increase of reports, of other very strange deer-like creatures that don't look normal or act like the deer that many locals are very familiar with. There were some very strange reports during 2024, that occurred around the Derry area of the Chestnut Ridge in Westmoreland County. I am sure you know that the ridge has a long history of encounters with UFOs, Low-Level orbs of light, and many types of cryptid encounters.

This case that I mentioned mentioned in my 2024 synopsis is quite interesting. Stan"

NOTE: I contacted the witness for more specific information. The sighting was just north of Belle Vernon, PA just before midnight on Monday, January 13, 2025. Lon

Stan's previous report from Stan Gordon's UFO Anomalies Zone:

"10-10-24- Derry Township - Two Cryptid creatures (not deer) on the ground and other anomalies reported that evening by other witnesses. I received a phone report from a witness that evening who sounded very shaken. She told me she often drives the same road in Derry Township. The woman told me that what had just taken place really shook her up. The witness told me that when she drives that road at night she moves slowly since there are a lot of deer in the area. She explained to me that as she was passing a field next to the road, she saw what she at first thought were two deer. One of the creatures was walking oddly and slowly around a tree. The other one looked at her when her headlights hit it. It then walked across the road and approached within five feet of her car and stopped and looked at her. The witness noticed that both creatures walked with a limp that seemed to originate from the back left leg.

The creatures were sandy brown in color, about five feet tall, and about the size of medium-sized deer. The creatures had floppy ears and oval eyes that were all black. They had a nose like a human and strangely seemed to smile with no apparent teeth. The witness was quite shaken as she watched the creature staring at her. She had a phone on the seat next to her and never thought of taking a picture. The witness told me “she froze” as she watched the strange critter. The creature crossed back across the road where the second creature was walking around the tree. They both slowly walked off the field together and moved off in the distance."

Strange DEER-LIKE ENTITY Observed in Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania

A man in Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania has a strange encounter with deer-like being in his backyard. The eyes change colors and it responds to his commands.

The following account was forwarded to me:

I live in Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania. For a while, there have been strange occurrences around, but recently was the most real and convincing occurrence that there is a cryptid. Basically my girlfriend vacationed at a place where there was known to be Seneca tribes, so I didn't if she brought something back. Anyway, she’s over tonight and I live with another friend FYI. Anyway, we take our dog out and our motion lights aren’t triggered when all of a sudden there’s a hissing sound right next to us and the bushes shake. We rush the dog in as we have no idea what it could be. This area is prone to raccoons and deer and some coyotes.

My friend and I go outside with weapons and flashlights, as our dog is partially blind and has a bad leg so we can’t risk him being attacked. Along with that there is a guy in our rather wooded community that has a brain issue and tends to wonder at night. So, with that in mind, we go outside and we hear a bird call (remind you it’s 1 am). We hear this bird call non-stop. In my mind I’m thinking I’m being lured by the crazy dude, so we go inside. We look out our patio window only to see a deer at our fence line. The deer's back legs look mangled. I kid you not. It actually looks like it’s walking with it’s back legs turned backwards. (There is a deer that roams back there that has a broken leg, but only one and he’s always with the family). Anyway, we see this deer, but when it first looks at us with the flashlight on its eyes are green. It puts its head down and stares as us and we shine the light around and back on it and its eyes are now red, when they go back to green.

It turns and is walking around. It isn’t listening to me screaming to leave, so I call it a witch. But I kid you not, it turned its head around and stuck its neck up so freakishly long and stared at me I actually got spooked (I’m a pretty religious dude who often ghost hunts and goes to creepy abandoned spots but I kid you not I kind of heart dropped). So. at this point. I go and get my silver cross and shine the flashlight on the cross so it can see the cross shining and It immediately looks away and I tell it that if it can’t cross the fence line because I don’t give it permission. It straightens up and walked away and didn’t look back. I come back inside.

My friend goes to sleep and I go into my bedroom where my girlfriend is asleep. I lay down next to her. She starts make weird moaning sounds. I wake her up and it turns out she was having a sleep paralysis episode and she had 2 other sleep paralysis episodes during the entire time me and my friend were outside/ I wonder if there is a connection with the deer being?"

GRAY, HAIRLESS CRAWLER HUMANOID Encounter Near Lake Camelot, Illinois

"I heard my friend gasp so I looked over at him and he was looking forward into the trail. Something was crouched down on the edge of the trail."

The following account was forwarded to me:

“Two friends and I were walking on a trail in the woods near Lake Camelot, Illinois at 10 pm on October 25, 2017. We usually walk on the trail all of the time so it isn’t something new or different to us. It isn’t like a paved out trail more like a trail we made ourselves because we walk the same path every time. I had a flashlight on and my two other friends did not.

I was pointing my flashlight to the left of me into the woods not really paying attention to what was in front of me because we usually don’t see anything odd. But I heard my friend gasp so I looked over at him and he was looking forward into the trail. I pointed the flashlight where he was looking and something was crouched down on the edge of the trail.

It was on the left side of the trail facing our direction. It looked very alert and frozen when we saw it and it saw us. I didn’t see it move and my friends didn’t either but we decided to run back the way we came from after we ran around 20 feet back we looked back and didn’t see anything.

My description of what we saw is a gray, small to medium-sized creature. I’d say around 4-5 feet tall but it was crouched down. The arms were not very skinny like some online pictures of aliens the arms were very defined and a little bit muscular. The arms looked human-like with 5 fingers. The legs on the other hand looked less human-like. I couldn’t see the feet but the shape and direction of the legs reminded me of frog legs. I couldn’t see the torso very well either.

The head was around the same proportion as a human head but the shape of the head was square with one point on each side of the head. I couldn’t identify if those were ears or something else. The creature was gray and either had no hair or very short hair. My two friends said it didn’t have hair but I thought it had short hair.

From what I saw the eyes were fully black. I didn’t see many features in the face.

It didn’t move and it didn’t make any sounds when we saw it although we heard squeaking noises earlier while walking. We thought it was a baby great horned owl but looking back at it they don’t sound like what we heard.

It just stared straight at us and we left and then turned around and didn’t see it again. I plan on going out there again with my two friends to see if we can find any more information.” J

NOTE: The incident report was forwarded to me by a local investigator. Lon
