MOTHMAN Encountered Near the Arrigoni Bridge, Middletown, Connecticut

A Middletown witness describes her encounter with a winged humanoid, possibly a Mothman, while taking photographs underneath the Arrigoni Bridge. The incident is etched in her mind.

I received the following account:

"Hello. Six years ago in July, I was out taking sunrise photos along the Connecticut River in Middletown, CT. I was underneath the infamous Arrigoni Bridge. The bridge that connects Middletown to Portland. This bridge is associated in Middletown with a great deal of sorrow because people have jumped to their deaths from it. I nevertheless love taking sunrise photos of it and the harbor.

Just as the rising sun grew in intensity I suddenly saw a humanoid-shaped winged type creature that was dark brown flash ever so quickly above the forest treetops! Maybe the rising sun made its appearance to be darker brown than black. Not sure. But It flew so fast that I did not even have the time to get a good photo. I was stunned. Sure, I have my UAP photos and videos. Plus my shadow people images too. And other odd things too. All were collected from areas near the Connecticut River, but seeing what looked like Mothman really shook me up. I always associated Mothman as a harbinger of doom.

I thought about trying to locate it in the woods I saw it rapidly flying away over. But I decided that this was one mystery I had better leave alone. I investigated alone and I had a strong gut feeling not to give chase after this creature. Often I see ‘it’ gracefully arcing just above the rising sun in my mind. It’s burned into my memory now. I always tell myself not to even think about it. Not to attract it. But I can’t unsee it. I never saw the creature again, and honestly, I think it frightened me much more than other creatures I have seen over the past 10 years. It just feels malicious, even though it’s swift and graceful. I felt like a warning of some sort was being sent to me. It’s like it’s a combination of two things. I know I sound crazy., but it’s like its outer appearance gives it that majestic look when it is in flight, but once it comes closer and you really ‘see’ it, you realize you are dealing with a dual type of effect on your psyche. It’s like it’s evil. But also capable of appearing quite stunning, almost angelic in flight. Anyway. Thank you for your time today. Take care of yourself." Iris

MOTHMAN: Eyewitness Describes 'FLAPPING WINGS' SOUNDS & SHADOW MAN Experienced at TNT Plant

A reader contacted me about their family trip to Point Pleasant, WV, and the TNT igloos to gather unexplained evidence. Like many investigators, the 'flapping wings' sounds were noted.

I received the following account:

“Hello, Mr. Strickler. I just watched your Unsolved Mysteries episode and I thought you would be interested in my incident.

I went to Point Pleasant, West Virginia in August 2015 with my hubby and kids. We travel, going to odd places, haunted, etc. We found what some call the 'TNT igloos' at the old West Virginia Ordnance Plant. We were on a back dirt road. The sun was setting. An odd car would drive by slowly as we were getting our gear ready. I joked about the scary movies we see and how the locals hate out-of-towners and take it out on them. That people go missing or are captured. Okay, back to reality and time to press on.

It's getting dark. We got the flashlights and EMF meters. I went over the directions I saw on the internet (pond to left. Look for an opening on the right of the trail). There were so many weeds and overgrowth, that it was hard to find. Then one of my kids yelled, 'There it is!' I saw a pathway about 20 feet long to my right. The weeds were shaped like a tunnel (probably from us tourists pulling and lifting them to get through). All four of us girls would have to duck and run through quickly after my hubby checks for spiders and webs, of course.

We got into the 'TNT igloo' and you could see a ton of graffiti and garbage and dirt bottom. It was pitch black at this point, only the light from our dollar store flashlights. We tried to take a photo with our tablet but they were all black. We started talking and playing with our echo. Then I told everyone, 'Quiet! I heard something.' We listened, hearing... and we all heard a noise. My kids started getting scared. My hubby, the big man he is, says, 'It's time to go, now!' I didn't want to leave. I was there to explore.

My family left me, running back to the car. I was alone in the igloo. When I got back in the car, we drove off. I asked everyone what it sounded like to them, the noise in or around the igloo. Everyone said, 'Wings flipping. Big wings flapping above. My daughter's 'sensitive.' She said that she saw a shadow man in the woods and a weird orb. Well, we came and left in one piece. Mission accomplished!” S

NOTE: I have gathered various EVP recordings from my many trips to the West Virginia Ordnance Works. The 'flapping wings' sound has been reported by several investigators over time. I have heard it as well. I believe that there is a very strong 'guardian' spirit of native origin at the location that, over time, summoned the winged humanoid for protection. Lon

Colorado Rancher Finds Buried Plaques Depicting ALIEN BEINGS, AZTEC PYRAMIDS, & UFOs

A Colorado rancher finds multiple plagues buried on his property that depict alien beings, Aztec pyramids, and UFOs. The MIB has been visiting. He was later robbed of all his property.

I received the following account:

“Hi. Lon. I enjoyed the Chicago Mothman episode on Unsolved Mysteries. I thought I'd send this to you.

My friend owns a huge ranch in northeast Colorado, and for 120 years his family has been farmers on that land. And there’s a lake on their land. Well, the government has been stealing the water in the lake (I assume for the fires). The man tried fighting for them to stop or be paid because that was water for their entire cattle, goats, and sheep.

So he said might as well make the best of the situation and he decided it’s a perfect time to put a bridge across his lake. Beginning the process with the backhoe for the supporting post, they kept hitting things over and over. They finally look at what it is they thought just boulders. No, it was 4,000-year-old plaques of many aliens smoking around a fire out of pipes. There is an Aztec pyramid in the background and flying saucers behind the pyramid. The border was made of mermaids and crocodiles. And the aliens looked like they were praising the pyramids or saucers. There were so many of them, same thing style just different mediums. Rock, obsidian, gold, silver, turquoise, etc. The man sold some of them for millions but every day there were Men in Black at his property wanting more, wanting to talk to him on and on.

Then he became alarmed when his German Shepherd guard dogs kept dying - all 9 of them. His heart was broken he was fed up he put everything back and buried it all up again. He told them but they kept coming to his house. Someone broke in and stole everything. I have no doubt in my mind after seeing one of the plaques and many pictures myself, they're aliens. One of the plaques was bought by one of the richest men in the world. Someone I believe to be definitely an Illuminati, and he does look like a lizard. I have no reason to lie I never believed in aliens until seeing what I saw. This happened a year ago and I still keep thinking about what I saw, it’s burned into my memory. Aliens are real. I don’t know why the government hides this information.” D

NOTE: I'm looking deeper into this incident. Lon

PALE, BLACK CLAD WOMAN Freaks Out Witnesses in Las Vegas!

Two friends are driving in Las Vegas when they notice that they are being tailgated. A pale, ghostly woman dressed in black pulls beside them but never looks over. There were other oddities.

I received the following account:

“Hi. I guess my story is more of a random encounter than a disappearance. About a little over a year ago, I was driving with a friend to drop him off at his place. This happened in Las Vegas by the way. It was probably like around midnight.

Anyway, we were driving around 45 mph when all of a sudden I saw a car tailgating me, I wasn’t worried or anything because nobody knows how to drive around here. After a minute or so it erratically overtakes me, but instead of speeding away it just matches my speed. My friend and I both turn to see who it is and is this weird-looking woman. Really extremely pale, big eyes, both hands at the wheel, and staring directly and emotionless at the road. She was so pale it was almost ghostly. What I guess caught our attention was how expressionless and emotionless she was. She looked like in a trance. Her eyes were pierced focused on the road. Her windows weren’t tinted on her vehicle. She had dark hair, black clothing, and a bunch of hanging things from her rearview mirror definitely out of place. It didn’t look like your usual car items It looked like idols/symbols.

The car looked like some 80s Crown Victoria. It was black and in bad shape, the interior was red and worn out. It definitely looked eerie. Her driving was erratic at first which caught our attention. She slowly started accelerating in the distance and her plates said “LUCIFER” which really freaked both of us.

We reach a stop light and catch up. that’s when I can see the rest of the details. The car was definitely in bad shape. It had old classic expired discontinued NV license plates. She had like this odd black dress, almost robe-like. Expressionless but her eyes were wide and focused like I mentioned. Throughout the 5 minutes of the encounter, she never blinked, looked, or moved out of place. Almost mannequin-like, super creepy. My friend and I were just so weirded out.

It took us a few seconds to realize that someone next to us was trying to speak to us. Turns out we weren’t the only ones seeing this. There was another driver who rolled her windows and said in Spanish, asking if we were seeing the same thing! In the course of this while I was talking to the other driver my friend said she never looked at us, turned, blinked, or anything else. Once the light turned green she sped off and we lost sight. We were so terrified, definitely a creepy experience.” N

Witness Shocked by HOODED LIZARDS ABDUCTION of Girl in Williamsville, NY

An eyewitness to an alien abduction in a home comes forward with the information. His girlfriend's younger sister was later returned, being found nude in the neighbor's yard!

I received the following account:

"Hello, sir. I witnessed an alien abduction back in 2006. This occurred When I was 20 years old. It occurred in Williamsville, New York, outside of Buffalo.

It was sometime during the week. I was driving from work straight to my then-girlfriend's house for dinner. She lived with her mother, grandmother, and younger sister, so it was just the four of them living at the house.

I helped set up the table for dinner. After having dinner my girlfriend and I spent about 2 hours up in her room, laying around, talking, and making plans for the coming weekend. It was getting late and I had to be up early the following morning, so I decided to call it a night. I put on my jacket, kissed my girlfriend goodbye, and headed downstairs.

I made my way towards the front door which led through the kitchen. Before I could even make another move, I saw 2 creatures leading the younger sister towards the front door. I was absolutely stunned, it was so shocking that I felt like I was out of my body watching this happen.

They were both small in size with long arms and a long neck and wore tight black jumpsuits. I stood there watching them walk straight through the wall. There was another one, much taller, his face looked scaled and brown. He was wearing a robe with a hood over his head. He honestly looked like a lizard. He came out of the bedroom from where the other 2 came from, leading the way for the younger sister. At this point, I was panting, and my heart was racing.

I don’t remember anything else but waking up next to my girlfriend, upstairs in her bedroom. I remember so vividly that this happened! I remember every detail and the fear that overtook my entire being.

The sister was spotted by neighbors, laying naked and unconscious in the front yard, the same night. I told my girlfriend everything I saw. She told me that this has been occurring since she was a child and they kept it as a family secret. This also was a big reason why their father had left them, years ago. After this experience, there have been other paranormal happenings at that house, particularly with the sister.

We continued to date for a little over a year after the first occurrence and finally broke up, but kept in touch for several years and the strange happenings only got more and more intense.

It’s been 16 years now since I last spoke to my girlfriend. - SF

'CLICKING' CHAMELEON-LIKE HUMANOID Nocturnal Visitation! (SKETCH)

A woman awakens suddenly to find a bizarre humanoid, that resembles an upright Chameleon lizard. She felt to urge to touch the intruder. Was it a dream?

I received the following account:

"Hello, Sir. I had been struggling all night to fall asleep due to sinus pressure and our clingy cat, and when I finally fell asleep I was on my back, which is usually uncomfortable for me. As soon as I felt myself fall over the edge and into dreamland, I seemed to wake right back up. I was frustrated and disoriented for a second when I realized there was something in my room.

Now usually when I dream, I’m immediately aware it’s a dream. Colors are over-saturated, people are more exuberant, and some things are always off in my surroundings. I never dream vividly of any one location to where I doubt if I'm dreaming or not, but this time room was undoubtedly my room. My husband was snoring softly next to me. I heard the AC kick on. The fan at the end of the bed had its blinking red power light, and then the light was blocked as something shifted in front of it. Something was sitting on my stomach, blocking the light from the fan and the hallway.

I was startled, of course, but didn’t feel any urge to scream. For a split second, I stared at the thing and it stared at me, assessing each other. It had a vaguely heart-shaped face, with ridged brow bones that joined together in a distinct rounded M shape, and behind the brows was a noticeable and horizontally elongated cranium, which reminded me of the aliens in the Indiana Jones movie. Under the brow bones, there were deep, round recesses like an owl or something, and large black eyes that were more rounded than you usually see in depictions of your typical aliens. Under the eyes, the face started to taper off before rounding into a recessed chin, and I don’t recall ever seeing a mouth due to the darkness in the room. The rest of the creature was skinny, and long, but altogether it weighed less than my toddler.

My husband made a soft snorting noise in his sleep and the alien creature turned its head sharply to glance at him, and from the side, its face was completely flat. Almost like ET.

It looked back at me. Delirious from sleep (or lack thereof) I reached up with sluggish arms and pressed the palm of my left hand against what should’ve been its cheek and temple. My right hand formed a loose fist, and I gently touched my knuckles to its other cheek/temple. Its skin was leathery, thin, and kind of loose. It felt like how an Anolis lizard almost, sort of cool to the touch but with a gentle underlying warmth to it. Hard bone just underneath the skin meant that there was almost no fat layer between them.

It started making soft ticking noises, and tilted its head against my hands, leaning forward very slowly. The ticking intensified, deepened, and slowed down as if time itself was slowing. There was a rushing noise in my ears, my hands fell to my sides as limp as overcooked noodles, and my eyes rolled back in my head. In my last second of consciousness, I recall thinking "Oh God no" and I used every last bit of my strength to roll to the side, hoping to force the thing off of me somehow.

As soon as my face connected with my husband’s shoulder, I woke up properly and sat straight up in bed. The thing was gone. Two seconds after I sat up my two-year-old started screaming — not her usual cry for a clean diaper or a bottle, but a scream. I shot out of bed and got her, cuddled her, and jumped at small noises until she had fallen back to sleep.

I also feel the need to add that this was written the morning after the incident, about two years ago. I never Googled anything about these creatures and tried not to think about it after the fact. Today, I was convinced to upload this from my documents file because I got the urge to Google some things and found out that people hear these things clicking as a way of communication. That's too coincidental for my comfort levels.

Wondering if anyone else has a similar experience?" C

After the Hackettstown 'Mantis Man': STRANGE SIGHTINGS in Mount Olive Township, New Jersey

I received a series of reports from Olive Township, New Jersey starting in 2015 after my Hackettstown 'Mantis Man' sightings investigations episode was presented on national television.

I received this report:

"Hello - thanks for reading my email. Maybe you can answer my questions. I live in Mount Olive Township, NJ, which is very near Hackettstown. There is a large wooded wetland adjacent to my yard. Lots of deer and other animals roaming around.

On Friday night, I was on the porch smoking a cigarette, when I noticed movement at the edge of the woods. The porch light was on and it illuminated most of the yard. I kept watching, when I noticed a man-shaped thing step out into the yard. I ran back into the house to grab my pistol.

I went back to the door and watched from the inside. I noticed my neighbor moving a bicycle through their yard, but didn't notice anything else. I didn't notice anything further.

After I went to bed, I was really having problems falling asleep. I got up and walked downstairs. I put my coat on and went out onto the porch to have a smoke. After a few minutes, I noticed small bits of white light in the woods. Kind of reminded me of penlights. That only lasted a minute or two. There was no sound. The neighbor's dog was not barking, which was weird because she reacts to anything.

On Saturday afternoon, I walked to the back of the yard to grab some wood for our fireplace. As soon as I approached the woodpile, I smelled a strong odor that reminded me of rotting roadkill. It was really bad, so much so that I had to turn around and get away from there. I was gagging and getting sick.

About an hour later, I again walked to the woodpile. The stench was not as bad as before, so I quickly put some split logs into the sling and headed back to the house.

Later that night, I was again on the porch smoking a cigarette. Suddenly the neighbor's dog started barking at something in the other direction. She was really going at it, while pulling hard on the chain. Just then 4 or 5 of these man-like things ran through the neighbor's yard, then into mine heading towards the woods. They moved like a herd of animals, staying together. It was so strange. The legs were very thin with small feet. I'd say they were about 5 ft in height. They wore loose dark-colored robes or something similar. The heads were small with no necks. I couldn't tell what color they were, but it was lighter than the robes.

I am confused and upset by what I witnessed. I later looked on the internet to see if there were similar sightings. I found the Hackettstown report on your website and decided to ask you what your thoughts were. I will admit that there are some strange things going on in this neighborhood. I haven't mentioned this to anyone, but others around here have seen many UFOs and lights. There have also been a few hauntings, according to some of the neighbors. Do you have any idea of what it was I saw? Thanks - JN"

NOTE: I called JN and he returned the call. I don't think this was related to the Hackettstown 'Mantis Man' sightings, but who knows. JN told me that he now thinks it's possible that these 'things' weren't solid in form. He also went into the woods to see if there was a rotting carcass there, but he didn't find anything. I started to look into other incidents in his area. I found one reported UFO sighting from several years ago. The area is the Mine Brook wetlands in Mount Olive Township, just northeast of Hackettstown, NJ. I believe that this may also be part of Stephens State Park, but I'm not positive of that. Any information would be helpful. Lon

I later received the following account:

"Hello, Lon. My name is Davida. I was shocked but very pleased to see and read the article that you recently posted about strange sightings in Mount Olive New Jersey...I just moved from Mount Olive on November 22, 2014 and literally felt like I was fleeing from whatever is there. I have an extensive collection of events that took place at my home there, which was surrounded by the same woods described in JN’s story. I have lost all of my pets, 5 in the last 14 months, I totally believe due to the entities that are there. I have been attacked at night, as well as my other family members and pets, so I know it’s real. This is very serious and I had intended to write about my experiences once I settled into my new home in Georgia. I have pictures of non human footprints which appeared after fresh snow had fell and led up to my home. These beings definitely enter homes, right through the walls or windows. I came across the article, as I started to research that area to see if anyone other than myself had experienced the same and I would love to connect with the neighbor who wrote the article. I saw UFO’s just about every night, rising in the distance beyond the woods and tried to drive to see where they could be coming from, but I never found the site. I could see them especially in the winter months when the trees were bare. I wondered why none of my neighbors were speaking about this, but from the article, I see I was not the only one who saw them. Thank you very much.

I contacted Davida and asked for more information:

"Hi, Lon. I hope all will be well. I have been attacked at night by something that would hold me down, making me feel like I couldn’t move or speak, until I would finally get words out, then it would release me. The last time it happened was December 2013...it had snowed that night...I told my son about it the next morning and as soon as he looked out the window, he saw a straight line of footprints that went from a shrub to under my bedroom window. We went outside and saw many footprints that looked like cloven hoofs with a ball in the rear on some, many leading to our home, but some leading to our neighbors' homes. They all looked like they either started from a tree or ended at a tree. My son had been through the same attacks at night, so he knew what I had experienced, as well as my ex-husband. He decided to sleep in my bedroom until we moved.

One night right after that, he said he was woke by something during the night, and saw what looked like a short man rush at him in the dark. He knock him with his arm and said it disappeared. There was always a strange vibe in the house after dark and a couple of my dogs would see things, especially one in particular, an American Eskimo, named Dakota. Every evening as soon as it would get dark, he would pace all over the house, trembling at times and always looking as if he saw something. He never did that in the house we had moved from. A few weeks after my son’s experience, we both couldn’t sleep. It was 3:30 AM...the dogs were up as well and one of them had to go to the bathroom...my son went with me to let them out. I had an African Grey Parrot, that I kept in my bedroom. She was very vocal and talked a lot, most of the time knowing what she was saying. She was alive when we went downstairs...we didn’t look at her cage when we came back up, but a few hours later, I found her dead at the bottom of her cage. This was January 29, 2014. As for my dogs, three of them looked like something would all of a sudden hit them and they would start stumbling around, walking crooked and knocking into things. It happened to 2 of them in the same week and I thought that was very odd. Each one of them died after suffering greatly, being diagnosed with various illnesses and diseases. Within approximately a year, I lost 5 of my pets...this is some of what went on in the last year, but things had happened since we moved there in 2007. I contacted you to be connected to the neighbor because I hardly knew anyone since I lived there. My home was surrounded by the woods on three sides, with a long driveway, so my house wasn’t close to any other neighbor. If you can pass my contact information to the other person, it would be great. Thank you"

A Lifetime of UFO/UAP ENCOUNTERS & ALIEN ABDUCTIONS

The experiencer soon realized that perhaps her wish to have an alien encounter had not been such a great idea after all because her life had been changed forever.

Mrs. Pat Norris, 28, lives with her husband, Carl, and three children in a suburb of Mobile, Alabama. On the evening of February 3, 1983, she had visited a friend in Mobile and when the friend's husband arrived from work, Mrs. Norris left and headed home on Highway 90. She had turned off the Highway and when about 90 minutes' ride from her home she heard an explosion. At this point, her car began to vibrate and continued to do so, making it difficult for her to steer. She negotiated another turn off the road she was on, brought the car to a halt, opened the car door leaned out and down and looked to ascertain if the transmission could have been causing the trouble. It had not.

Mrs. N. continued driving and the vibrating stopped. She executed another turn onto another road and saw that the woods ahead were brilliantly illuminated. At first she thought that there was a helicopter search in progress because of the lights and was very frightened. She again stopped the car, and at this point sighted a huge object about l/2 mile west of her. She now feels the explosion she had heard earlier was the object coming down over a clay and gravel pit in the vicinity.

The thing was huge — later estimated to be 7 to 8 stories (70 to 80 feet) high and "six telephone poles" (210 feet) wide, and appeared to be moving toward her at 4-5 miles per hour. The evening had been clear and cool and she had driven with the car windows closed. After the explosion, she noted a "chopping wind, a high-pitched sound and a roaring sound" as well as the vibration. She particularly noted the "whipping of the wind — like a tornado."

When the object reached a point fairly close it stopped and all of the noise stopped. It was completely silent and Mrs. Norris lost all of the fear she had felt before. She then got out of the car to get a better look. She strained to take in every detail — feeling like a child with "unbelievable happiness."

Mr. Norris said that although Pat told him of her sighting after it happened, he didn't realize how important it was to her until she started checking books out of the local library pertaining to UFOs and "related subjects."

She estimates the time duration of the sighting as five minutes. As the craft appeared Mrs. Norris' attention was drawn to a top deck with a long window which she estimates 53 feet and through which she viewed 20 to 30 persons, apparently oblivious of her presence, walking about as if they were changing shift. The wall behind them was curved and white. There were no instruments. The people did not give the appearance of looking out. The beings were pale skinned, dressed in white one piece suits. She judged them to be about our height, five feet 10", quite slender but with chests larger than ours, the top of the head more prominent, no hair, and having the lower half only of ears similar to our own. She noted nothing out of the ordinary about the eyes. What did draw her attention was the great grace of their movements. The atmosphere seemed "sterile."

Below this top deck window was an opaque window. The area around it was all white. This window was in sections and was inset. The glass was tinted.

Below the center of the craft a door was closing from right to left. (See drawing). And she looked onto a street that was dark as if made of asphalt or possible concrete. Off to the side of this street was tubular rectangular equipment. All across the craft she saw rivets and portholes. She said she could see the portholes "inside out" as she peered into the craft. She saw some construction that included "huge I beams like they put ships together with and beams holding the glass in there." The bottom side was tiered upwards. The construction reminds her of a ship or submarine. She said it seemed possible, very likely, it could have been constructed here on Earth.

The very bottom of the craft was formed into a cross made with one foot square mirrors and an observation deck hung down and around the bottom with beings in it. In this case, unlike the top deck, the people were peering out, while overhead she heard a very low pitched but clearly audible (almost like a growl) "announcing" coming from the area of the observation deck now closest to her.

Mrs. Norris said she believes they didn't realize she was there until directly over her position.

As drawn, she saw four pipes projecting six to eight feet out from the craft set in three or four foot square boxes. They had a hollow flange on the end like a tank cannon and she believes "it looked like a weapon."

The craft took a southerly turn as it went on from where she was parked. She said it was staying in the wooded area and did not cross Highway 90 again. Possible it was doubling back towards Irvington and Pascagoula. It lit up the wooded area, and all beneath it as it moved on off. It had white spotlights and to the side blue and red lights that intermingled, pointing up to the clouds and then down to Earth.

She told Mr. Brown she had prayed she might have such a sighting. She had extensive dream material both prior to and after the February 4 incident. The late dreams contain a detailed physical examination and scan of her emotions, which we expect to present later, when prepared.

After the object was out of sight, Pat continued on home, arriving at 1:10 a.m. - APRO - Field Investigators Bob Gribble and Ed O. Brown

Pat Norris' sketches

Pat Norris Interviewed in 2013:

After sighting a huge craft in 1984, Patricia Norris reported the incident and was interviewed by Field Investigator Ed. O. Brown.

“Mr. Brown took the report here in my home,” she said.

He took a detailed report of her experience and learned that she had hoped she would have such an encounter. In fact, she had many dreams that included “physical examinations and scans of her emotions,” by alien entities.

Brown also spoke with her husband, who said he learned of the incident after it had occurred. But he did not realize how much it meant to her “until she started checking books out of the local library pertaining to UFOs and ‘related subjects.’”

However, Norris soon realized that perhaps her wish to have an alien encounter had not been such a great idea after all because it her life was changed forever.

“My husband divorced me soon after this happened,” she said adding that she never remarried. When asked why he would divorce her she replied, “Well, I can't blame him... it still freaks me out and it still goes on.”

By going on, she meant that abductions continued to occur and still do to this day. In fact her 1984 sighting brought back memories of being taken as a child.

“I only started to remember this after I saw the ship,” she said. “I was 3 to 4 years old when it started and at that time, she was not afraid. “I remember being above our house, then and now. They have always been in my life and my life seems unreal.”

Over the years she said, the aliens “have done physical, mental and emotional tests on me,” and she now realizes that the aliens “feed off our emotions… they test me like a lab rat. They have left marks and scars on me.”

When asked if the aliens were Greys, Insectoids, Reptilians or others she replied, “I’m not sure about naming them but all the ones you’ve named and others too have tested me... The ones I've always seen are small Grays and the tall ones - the old ones. They are all different in looks and actions.”

Norris said she is consciously aware when the aliens come for her. She has also seen other abductees while she was aboard a UFO.

“I have seen other people being worked on and I’ve seen other beings being worked on. On one occasion, she said she was in what appeared to be a hospital “where it was all glass and it’s like a hall of mirrors. Hundreds of people were being tested.”

On another occasion, she “woke up by a lake and people were standing around everywhere, and the ship was over the lake. I tried to talk to a woman (but) she didn’t speak English. Everyone was just looking at the ship… then we all went in the ship.” - United Paranormal International - January 2014

Arkansas Residents Observe REDDISH-HAIRED BIPED, Hear SHRILL SCREAMS

I received a telephone call from 'RA' about two Bigfoot encounters:

The incidents took place in Charleston, Arkansas in Franklin County. She had walked out onto her back porch while drinking a cup of coffee, just before she was ready to leave for work. She was watching two deer and a red fox in the field.

Standing there, she noticed movement in the tall brush about 70 yards away. She witnessed a 6 1/2 - 7 ft. tall reddish-haired biped step back into the brush. RA said that it blended so well with the brush that she only noticed it when it moved. She was sure that it was a Bigfoot. She was quite alarmed and nervous, to the point where she asked her neighbor to drive her to work.

A few days previous, her boyfriend was asleep (RA was not home) and was awakened by a high-pitched and sustained scream emanating from behind the house. He quickly got out of bed and looked outside. He turned on the recorder on his cellphone and recorded several minutes of the screams.

After the screams had stopped he walked downstairs and walked out onto the porch. He soon noticed a tall biped run to the left of the house towards the street in front of the house. He attempted to get a video, but it was too dark and the quality was poor.

He described the scream as more of shrill that had very short interruptions. Other people in the neighborhood also heard the noise.

I was able to listen to the recording, but have not been given permission to use it on the blog. The sounds are very similar to other Bigfoot screams I have heard in the past. Lon

Creepy HUMAN-FACED QUADRUPED Watching Me From Backyard!

A New England teen observes an unnaturally dark, human-faced quadruped 'creature' in their backyard at night. They felt that it was not an animal, but it also was not a human!

I received the following account:

"When I was a teen, I slept in a bedroom with a window overlooking my backyard with woods directly behind it. My bed was positioned right next to the window so that when I sat up in bed I would look to my left and look out the window. I had blinds on the window that I would always leave open, but my dad would always yell at me to leave the blinds closed so no one could look in (who was going to look in from our backyard?).

Well, one night I woke up out of a deep sleep with a strange feeling like someone was watching me. My blinds were 3/4 of the way down and I remember the moon was illuminating some of the yard. I sat up in my bed and felt very, very scared. I was never one to get scared or wake up in the middle of the night and I didn’t have to pee or feel sick so no reason I would have woken up, but I had a really strong feeling to look outside.

I remember I lifted up the blinds further and was paralyzed with fear. In my yard, I could see clearly an animal-like creature. This was before I used the internet or even knew anything about creatures, but I knew 100% this wasn’t an animal. It was massive and so dark. It was the darkest black it looked so unnatural. The creature was not moving, just standing creepily. It had 4 legs, small pointy ears, and a face kind of human but not human. It wasn’t looking towards the woods or directly at me, but I felt like the thing knew I saw it and I immediately laid down and didn’t want to see it ever again.

When I lay down my head wasn’t directly next to the window, it was closer to my legs so I had to sit up again to pull the blinds all the way down, and when I sat up I couldn’t help but look outside again and the creature had moved closer to my window. It was sitting/standing in the same position as before but its head was facing me this time and I put the blinds down and laid down so fast with the covers over me and eventually fell asleep after the adrenaline wore off.

The strange thing is after this encounter I almost wanted to see the creature again. Every time I woke up after that night I would peek through the blinds to see if anything was lurking near the woods. I asked my sisters if they had ever seen anything like that but they said no. They would never look outside at night. The woods aren’t there anymore either. They built a train track going through my backyard so who knows what it was or where it ended up. This was in New England." CT
