THREE-TOED, WINGED HUMANOID Observed in Salina, Utah

"Its arms, legs, and body were athletic looking but looked like it hardly had any muscle. It had five fingers like us BUT had three toes. The toes narrowed down to a point, like a cone or triangle."

I received the following account:

"Hello. I would say around June 2013, in Salina, Utah, I was walking under a street lamp with a friend. He was talking and I was looking at the stars as we walked. We walked under a street lamp that was also shining light upwards. Plain as day, I saw a flying humanoid (head, body, arms, and legs almost like a human) fly above the street lamp flying about 10 feet from the edge of the asphalt road, 30 to 40 off the ground, flying in the opposite direction as we were walking. The creature was traveling south on the west side of the road.

The height I would say is around the size of an adult human. Its arms, legs, and body were athletic looking but looked like it hardly had any muscle. It had five fingers like us BUT had three toes. The toes narrowed down to a point, like a cone or triangle. It had two wings, one coming off each shoulder. The length of the wing was about the length of the creature's arm. The wings were narrow and had very little surface area. I did not see the creature flap its wings to fly. Its wings looked too small to support its body. Plus the body was parallel to the ground and was elongated like it was laying down while flying (the weight of the hips/legs/feet should have been sagging towards the ground). It had small hooks-like things that came off from the creature's leg, and mid-calf area and faced outward. I did not see any breasts or a penis. I don't know what sex it was. Hopefully, it does not reproduce but I am sure it does.

I have told many people about what I saw that night, but most people don't believe me. Although I did run into a guy who saw one, I'd say the same species of creature. He was camping also around the Salina, UT area. It flew down/ swooped at him and made a creepy noise." S

18TH CENTURY CLAD 'HUMANS' Seen Inside of Tubular UAP in Alaska!

"A long spaceship. It was moving over the road. I jumped out of my car to go closer and people were looking back at me, human-looking people. They just watched me and I watched them."

Kacey in Alaska called in to tell of her UFO sighting:

“In the middle of the '90s, I was coming home from a party at 3 o'clock in the morning. I had to pull over and take a rest and, in Alaska, it's just bright sunshine at 3 o'clock in the morning. And I closed my eyes and I heard a noise and I thought it was a bear coming out of the woods. I opened my eyes and it wasn't. It was a spaceship. A long spaceship. And it was no further away from me than 300 feet. It was moving over the road. I jumped out of my car to go closer and there were people looking back at me, human-looking people. It was going slow. They looked at me. I looked at them. And they just watched me and I watched them. They just followed the road grid to the end and at the end of the road, it hung a right and disappeared at the end.

I jumped in my vehicle, drove home, woke my son, told him to draw this, he drew me the picture of what I had seen. I still have it to this day. (Jimmy Church asks about the craft) It was 400 feet long. It was tubular-shaped. Had windows. Everyone was dressed the same. They all had Colonial clothes, Dutch haircuts, looked human, just like us. They all dressed the same. The ends of the ship were flattened. It did not make a noise except for when they crashed out of the woods. (Jimmy asks about the windows) They were sliding glass door sized. (Jimmy asks if anyone else in the town saw the object) Eleven other people. I called the Air Force, called the news. I went on the news. I had to know if anybody had seen it or if I imagined it, hallucinated it. I had to know. Eleven people from my town came forward. I'd never talked to any of them. (Jimmy asks to clarify the date and the location) 1996. Fairbanks, Alaska. (Jimmy asks what month) June. (Jimmy asks where he can find the old interview) KTUU. (Jimmy asks how long the sighting lasted) An hour. (Jimmy asks what the Air Force said) Are you on drugs, mam? Are you drunk? I don't drink. And I wanted to know myself. I mean, did I hallucinate this?”

Missouri Witness Reports ANOMALOUS ORBS, UNKNOWN GROWLING CREATURE & VOICES IN THE WOODS

"I decided to contact you in regards to this experience because I haven't felt well since then. Have you heard or read any similar situations like this? My brother believes that this was a Bigfoot."

I received the following account:

"Hi, Lon. I live near Pevely, Missouri, not far from the Mississippi River. This incident took place on January 3, 2024, at 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 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 calling my name from a distance. There was another call coming in another direction as well. I was beginning to get scared, but I wanted to know what this was. Then suddenly a loud 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 any more roars or sounds, and the orbs soon disappeared.

The next day, 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 as 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." PK

NOTE: I called and talked to the witness' wife. She informed me that PK had gone to the doctor. PK called me at about noon today and said that the doctor diagnosed his illness as a stomach virus, but PK 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 has been seen, especially in reports received here in Pennsylvania. As well, there have been instances where UFO activity has also been noted as Bigfoot sightings. PK's experience could have very well been a Bigfoot encounter, but I'm not discounting that something else may be involved because of the other anomalies. Lon

TALL, PALE WHITE HUMANOID Encountered Near Witnesses' Home in Northern British Columbia

A couple living, in northern British Columbia, encounter a tall pale humanoid as they are pulling out of their driveway. There was a later incident as well, so the being is most likely living nearby.

I recently came across the following account. I forwarded a follow-up request to the witness:

"This happened to me and my boyfriend about two years ago. I decided to post it because it haunts me to this very day, and I still have nightmares about it.

It was about 2 am one night in September 2018. We live about 25 minutes out of town in northern British Columbia, Canada, and our house is surrounded by the woods. Because it's such a dead road, usually we would pull out of the driveway and then turn on our lights. Why? Just a weird habit I suppose. We both would do it.

So I'm behind the wheel. I pull out to go left down the road and turn on the high beams. Then we see it.

We see this weird, hairless, pale humanoid creature crouching in the middle of the road. It almost seemed to be glowing, but that was probably because it was such a pale white and I hadn't turned off my high beams. It whipped its head at us as if it was surprised by our lights turning on. After a second, it shambles across the rest of the road in jerky movements and down into the ditch, which was about 3 feet deep. But that's not it. We both watched as it went down into the ditch, and turned around to face us. And it stood up on its back legs, exactly like a human but not quite.

It stood over 5 feet higher than the ditch (taller than our car at the time). And remember the ditch is already 3 feet deep, so this creature was over 7 feet tall. It looked aggressive, hunched at the shoulders and leaning forward slightly as if to look at the car. And I swear I made eye contact with it. No. It was not watching us drive by. It wasn't looking at the car. It was looking through the window, and it was looking right at me! Whatever it was, it was intelligent and knew that the car wasn't moving itself. It knew we were inside.

I drove so slowly, turning my head and keeping eye contact with it as we drove past and it did the same, craning its neck to watch me leave. My boyfriend couldn't see it past me at that point. Eventually, it's out of my vision and I look back at the road.

We are both completely silent. I'm driving less than 10km an hour, having taken my foot off the gas when I saw something in the road. To this day I don't really tell people because they just laugh it off or try to explain it as an albino starving bear or something.

Now, this year (2020) his parents were visiting just before winter hit. They have a dog. Me and his mom were having a smoke on the deck, which is about 6 feet off the ground. It's dusk. Not much light. We were on the left side of the deck, the same side we turned on the road to go to town. You can see the patch of woods where the creature would have been before so this instance happened in the same little area.

I hear a bunch of cracking twigs just as the dog goes nuts. The dog is small so we were surprised when he almost jumped off the deck to run in the woods. My boyfriend comes out just in time and we see, just beyond some trees so it's obscured, a tall, lanky white form. But we couldn't see anything else definitive, and his mom had terrible eyesight and didn't have glasses. I KNOW it was the same creature. I got this twisting feeling in my gut.

We don't leave our house at night. Maybe it's weird but I want to see it again. I used to think, 'Wow, these stories are cool I so believe in them.' It was nothing compared to the awed terror I felt when I made eye contact with something I was positive is not natural.

I literally think about it every single day and it can actually bring me to tears cause it scares me so much." C

MAN-WOLF LEGEND of Marshall, Texas

The legend of the 'Man-Wolf' of Marshall, Texas, and its deadly activity continues to be told to whoever is interested in learning about the local beast.

The following information was forwarded to me:

"As a young child, my sweet old great, great granny Lee, from Homer, Louisiana, used to tell me about the wolf man of Marshall, Texas. She said she had seen the beast herself as it attacked a neighbor's pig. She swore on an old family Bible that what she saw was not man nor a known beast. She said it was a man-wolf and could be nothing more than that. This beast man-wolf, my dear old Granny Lee often described as people actually seeing what was a half-human, half-wolf. It has been noted and told that they are over 6 feet tall when they stand. They have large yellow/orange eyes, long white sharp teeth, and a blunt long snout.

His face is always not quite a man's and not quite a wolf. Though some report they are covered with a full coat of hair and others tell of the coat being sparse and patchy.

Though reports sometimes differ the common factors are that the werewolf's face was always seemingly flat, blunt, and yet pointed and very grotesquely long.

The Man-Wolf of not so long ago was often encountered along Stagecoach Road. This of course is one of the most haunted hotspots in all of Marshall. Others say it was Dead Woman's Road or Sedberry Street as it is now known.

This Were-beast, animal or as some call it a Dogman, was known for slaying a sheep, or a cow where it stood in the blink of an eye. They say the thousands of chickens they kill could feed the whole state of Texas for a year. And don't forget the many stories of them killing possibly a man, woman, or child or two for good measure.

The old stories around here you will hear most often are of poor old Ms. Ethel Briggs.

She was a lonely widow woman whose husband and young son were reportedly outright killed by the man-wolf.

Ethel's husband used to raise all the normal things it took to survive the daily life of the time. Then one day he found that something had broken into his many chicken pens and killed his livestock or carried them away. He then found chewed-up pieces showing real signs that they were being killed and eaten. He set out to trap and kill what he thought was a large coyote or mountain lion. Ethel's husband knew what he had to do. So he went out that night and as the story goes never returned.

They found his foot with the toes chewed off that next morning lying by the front door and found his left arm missing three fingers and half a thumb near the old barn. His head was by the creek missing its nose, ears, and tongue. And of course, his lips were chewed off and the area of his cheeks showed deep large punctures and tooth gouge marks.

And the very next night her youngest boy was taken before her eyes. He was the red-headed one, who set off looking with his mother for the rest of his dad's chewed-up remains to bury on that cold February day.

That very next morning he was found, at least a large part of his upper torso just a near five miles away. The Sheriff was called in to come and investigate the death.

Poor Miss Ethel said she had seen the beast when the Town Sheriff came to call. And that she had buried only the three large pieces of her husband's carcass behind the great field he used to till. She went on to say that she and her 4 other kids had found them scattered around the property.

She said what she saw was not that of a man or just a mangy rabies-infected dog. It was more than just very large and it walked like a man with a strange apparent slight limp or jake leg. She also stated and noted it ran off on all fours with her husband's left leg in its mouth." N

YELLOW-EYED, BAT-WINGED HUMANOID Encountered in Rio Arriba County, New Mexico

"The creature in front of the car to the right of the shoulder started coming at our car and it jumped when it did that, it spread its arms, and these wings came out."

I received the following account:

"Hello. I wanted to tell a story of what I experienced in the vicinity of Rio Arriba County, Abiquiu /Tierra Azul, New Mexico. I was 15 at the time so this was in 2005. My cousin and I were the only ones together.

There was a car in front of us. All of a sudden, I saw this black figure. It looked like trash flying in the wind, but then as it got closer, it started to look like a runner with its hands in front of it—flat, like runners when they are running. But it didn't look like a man. The car in front swerved, and in the next seconds, everything slowed down.

The creature in front of the car to the right of the shoulder started coming at our car and it jumped when it did that, it spread its arms, and these wings came out. About the size of the car, width-wise from driver to passenger door. Its face was freaky because it wasn't human at all and had beady yellow eyes, and 2 fangs (but now that I look back it reminds me of the Mothman. It didn't have ears and its face looked almost blank besides eyes, and fangs). The fangs looked like 3-6 inches sticking out of its mouth. Its chest had a white V. Its fur was something similar to a deer like grayish white and brown (or an owl). The legs were weird and looked like goat legs (I now know they are called hocks). The height was like 4-5 feet tall. The wings looked like they came out of its sides (rib cage) like a glider, but they extended longer than the arms and looked like bat wings, except they were big!

My aunt told me that she thinks my cousin, who witnessed the being with me, saw it again a few years ago.

This is her story as told to me. My cousin was checking on here double-wide because it was not connected to the grid. She told my aunt that she had a weird feeling, so she stayed in her van. It literally came out of nowhere and her youngest daughter started screaming and pulling on her headrest from behind her and said "It's going to get us" There by her trailer she said she saw two yellow eyes peaking around a tree looking at them both, then hiding again. She said that right away she got out of there. They think it was the same creature since her trailer is 1 mile from where we saw the winged creature the first time. Strangely, she saw me all those years ago, then again 10 years later." M

In & Out of the MULTIVERSE

"I don't have any explanation for how I went one hour into the future and then returned to my timeline. If the cop hadn't confirmed the time, I would have blamed a faulty phone."

An anonymous listener wrote into Darkness Radio to tell of a weird experience he had:

“A few years back I got a jury duty notice in the mail. As soon as I saw it, I knew what it was so I opened it to check the day and time I was to appear. Having gone to jury duty before in my town, I already knew where it was going to be so all I cared about was the time and date. I didn't even check the location. I quickly memorized the time and date. It was 12 noon. The date is not significant. It was a Wednesday.

The days passed and I had that date and time in the back of my head. I began preparing for it, telling my boss I needed the day off, etc. Tuesday night came around and I was prepared. Wednesday morning, I was counting the minutes until I had to leave. 11:25 AM I had to leave at that time because it was a 20-minute ride to the courthouse. I should be there from about 11:45 to 11:50 AM. 11:25 came around and I headed out the door in my old Mustang.

Halfway there I tried calling my wife but I couldn't get a signal. About 20 minutes later, I got to the courthouse where I had previously had jury duty and no one was there. It was eerily quiet as if everyone had gone to lunch or something. I was shocked. Did I miss jury duty? I checked around. Checked the time on my phone and it said 12:50 PM. I stood there staring at my phone in disbelief. How is it 12:50? I thought to myself. I was in shock. I left the courthouse stunned. I headed to my old car and sat in the car. I checked the time on the radio's clock. 12:53 PM. I turned the key and clicked. Nothing. The car didn't start. What the...? I said. I got out and popped the hood to see if I could rig something. Just then a cop pulled up next to me to ask me if I needed help. I was still kind of stunned and said, Yeah. So he said, I'll just come out and see what I can do. I just have to go punch in. It's almost 1:00 right? I was shocked that the cop acknowledged that it was almost 1:00 PM. I checked my phone again and, yes, it was almost 1:00. So he went into the station to punch in and I kept fiddling with my car for a while.

As he's heading back out, when I go to start my car, the engine roars to life. He waves at me, noting my car has started and I leave. Halfway home I call my wife and the call actually goes through. I tell her about the bizarre series of events I just went through and I ask her, What time is it? She says It's 12:20, hon. I checked my phone and yes indeed, it was 12:20 noon. I look over at the time on the radio and it's 12:20.

I don't have any explanation for how I went one hour into the future and then returned to my timeline. If the cop hadn't confirmed the time, I would have blamed a faulty phone. The world is a strange place.”

NOTE: Did the man experience co-existence in a multiverse? These 'time slips' or parallel world incidents are fascinating but disturbing. Those events described as a 'Mandela effect' (a situation where several people claim to share memories of events that differ from the available evidence of those events) are also hard to explain. Is this an example of confabulation, or are there actual physical passages into alternate realms? Lon

GRANDPA PARKER & the 'HAIRY MAN'

"His father suddenly started to whistle in a long sustained tone. They sat quietly on the boulder for a few minutes, until his father once again let out a long whistle."
A reader, John Parker, submitted the following narrative for publication:
"I've been reading so many theories about Bigfoot, to me, it's somewhat comical. I believe that certain people are allowed to witness these creatures, in particular those people who have traditionally lived among them. I'm not sure what other people are seeing.

My family has lived in Jackson County, NC for as long as anyone can remember - We are Cherokee. There are stories of 'Stone Man' or hairy savages seen by our people historically throughout the Qualla Boundary. I have a story told to me by my Grandfather when I was a boy.

Grandpa Parker talked about the large garden and cornfields his parents maintained. They would grow heirloom bean and tomato varieties that came from hundreds of years in Cherokee culture. They kept a few field animals, but at that time, they didn't raise livestock.

After a while, his parents decided that they would try raising chickens. He helped his father build a large chicken house and another small barn that would be used as a workshop. Everything went well, and after a few years, their flock of egg-laying hens was prospering. His father was also a very good handyman and fixed equipment for other farmers in the area.

One day, just before the harvest season, Grandpa Parker and his father went hunting in the woods west of the farm. Their main quarry was squirrel that day. As they reached their regular spot along a ridge thick with hickory trees, his father looked worried. They rarely talked or made any noise while in the woods, but his father suddenly started to whistle in a long sustained tone. They sat quietly on the boulder for a few minutes, until his father once again let out a long whistle.

"We need to move" his father abruptly said. They got up and started to briskly walk on the trail towards the farm. When they reached the end of the woods, they heard a loud whistle coming from the direction where they came. They cut through the cornfield and quickly reached the workshop. Grandpa Parker was becoming worried. His father didn't say anything, just directing him to stay with him.

His mother was in the garden working when his father shouted out to her to go to the house. They all met at the door by the kitchen and went inside. He and his father sat at the table while his mother cooked coffee. "Why did we leave the woods?"

His father looked at him and asked if he had ever heard anyone talk about 'the Hairy Man?" Grandpa Parker told him that he had not. He was scared now.

My Grandfather said that the Hairy Man was a tall hairy human-like creature that would migrate to different locations along the mountains following food sources. When they were in the woods, he noticed that there were no birds or other natural sounds as they approached the ridge. He said that he noticed something large in the hollow, much larger than a black bear and walking like a man. He whistled hoping it would move on, but he didn't notice it move or make any sound. From his experience, that was an indication that it was time to leave because the Bear Man was staying put. The return whistle they heard was a warning to stay out of the woods.

When my great-grandfather was younger, a woman and her young boy went missing in a woodland in nearby Swain County, NC. People had seen a Hairy Man in the area and suspected that it was responsible for the disappearance. There had been other disappearances previous to that. No remains were ever found.

The next day, his father decided to start harvesting corn. This year, a large patch of cornfield nearest to the woods was left unharvested. His mother also left several baskets of potatoes at the edge of the woods that winter. They didn't want any problems from the Hairy Man, especially since he was known to raid chicken houses.

One evening, while he and his father were working in the shop, they heard a long whistle coming from the woods. His father smiled and said "don't mind that - Hairy Man is saying 'thank you.'"

The next spring, they once again went into the woods to hunt. The Hairy Man had moved on." John Parker

Family Panicked by Possible ALIEN ENCOUNTER in Southeast Indiana

"I knew that she was scared and shaken. She literally had tears in her eyes. She told me in an almost sad voice that there were aliens outside."

I received the following account:

"This incident isn’t recent. It actually makes me cry thinking about and I will probably cry while writing it. Anyway, I’m 25 now but this experience took place when I was 12. The night this encounter happened everything was pretty normal. I was going back to school the next morning after summer break so I had to be in bed earlier than I would have liked. I remember falling asleep to the movie 'Meet the Robinsons' playing at probably around 10:30 PM. And then I woke up and I knew it had to be late, but the first thing I registered was the TV and it was completely scrambled. The image I mean, is almost like a DVD that doesn’t want to play so it skips. But it was frozen so the image was warped and boxy. Except the 'Meet the Robinsons' movie DVD wasn’t damaged. At this point, I guessed it was around 2:00 or 3:00 AM.

The second thing I registered was the voices coming from the kitchen. I got out of bed to see what was going on because the voices were talking pretty loud and they sounded kind of panicked. When I got to the kitchen I realized that it was my mom and older sister, who was 18 at the time, and they were arguing. The first thing I actually picked up and comprehended in the conversation was my mom saying, “Those are definitely aliens. WTF else could they be?” She was almost hysterical. Neither of them saw me enter the kitchen but I asked what was going on and my mom looked at me and I knew that she was scared and shaken. She literally had tears in her eyes. She told me in an almost sad voice that there were aliens outside.

At this point, we were all standing in the kitchen in front of our sliding glass door that looked out to our yard and the field across the road. I was confused so she pulled back the curtain to the kitchen door and I didn’t see anything initially because I didn’t look hard enough. But I saw my German Shepherd / Great Dane mix sitting in the middle of the yard, in the direction of the neighbors, which was to the right side. I asked my mom why he wasn’t on the porch like normal and why he was sitting so still. To that she slid open the door very slowly, to not make much noise I assume. Usually when the door to the house opens my dog will look towards the sound of it if he is around the yard, which he was, but he didn’t even look at us, his gaze remained undeterred. I didn’t realize what was going on but I was scared because my mom was clearly scared as was my older sister. My mom signaled my sister and me to be quiet. And we were.

You could, on a normal night, hear the animals in the woods or the trees in the wind and crickets chirping because it was summer, but that night we couldn’t hear anything. It was completely silent outside, not even a breeze. This gave me chills that made me shake. Something was terribly off. My mom shut the door. And my sister and I followed her to her bedroom, where my dad was asleep and the window was open. There she explained to me what was going on. She told me that my sister was in my room looking for something and peeked out the window. My room is in the back of the house and my window looks out to the trees behind the house. She saw what she thought was a pack of coyotes but there were about 30 of them and the closer she looked she started to see distinguishable features and that’s when she dipped out of my room and went and told my mom. My mom told me that they walked outside, before my sister came to her about what she saw, and saw a tall dark, and slender figure walking down the neighbor's driveway toward our house. She thought it was the neighbor coming over for some reason. But then she got scared suddenly and felt like it would be best to pretend to be asleep so she wouldn’t have to talk to the “neighbor”. And those events led us to go to the kitchen window that overlooked the two neighboring houses right next to each other. It was dark. But we were looking very hard. And we could start to make out shadowy figures. Most of them were small and moved super fast. So fast that if you weren’t paying attention you wouldn’t have noticed. And if you paid even more attention, you could see the slower taller ones. They moved slowly and their silhouettes were darker than their background but they were almost fluid-looking. It just did not look real at all. And this sucks but we didn’t even think about grabbing a camera and trying to catch pictures. Which I regret just thinking back.

Another thing I noticed and is worth mentioning I think, was that behind the neighbor's house, they had woods too. Well, within the trees and very low to the ground, there were three evenly spaced lights. One was green, the other red, and another blue I think. The lights were pretty dim but they were never there before. We watched out the window for about ten minutes freaking out. My mom was almost wheezing at this point, she was so shocked. After that she took us into her room and opened the window more, which I didn’t like, it made me nervous. She told us to be quiet. And since we couldn’t hear anything at all coming from outside we sat in silence. Until we heard what sounded like a car passing on the road. there was an engine sound but we could see the road from my mom's window and there were no cars, no headlights, nothing. But the engine buzz was loud and turned into sounding like a plane was passing over the house, that’s how loud it got. This lasted about a minute or so then it went completely silent again. After a few minutes, it would repeat the engine sound.

After all of these happened, my mom shut the window and closed the curtains. And we sat in her room, all of us basically shaking. Anyway, another thing to point out was, I did eventually work up the courage to go back to my room. But that was a few hours later and was starting to get light out. The TV was still scrambled so I tried to eject the disc and it wasn’t working. So I ended up having to unplug the DVD player to get the scramble off the TV. That’s about all that happened that night. But it freaked me out terribly. I don’t mention it to anyone except the people I trust in my life. And even then they sometimes don’t get to hear the full story. But I want to know your thoughts on this. Is there any rational explanation for things I saw? The year was probably 2013. I don’t remember the day. It might have been a Sunday evening into Monday morning? It was at the house that I still live in currently, in southeast Indiana. Probably August since I was starting school. So summer. Which would definitely make the year 2013 now that I’m thinking about it.” L
