PHANTOMS & MONSTERS NEWS: New PLANET 9 Evidence? - $20K REWARD For Dolphin Killer - Most Recent NESSIE Sighting

New PLANET 9 Evidence?

A small team of planetary scientists from the California Institute of Technology, Université Côte d'Azur, and Southwest Research Institute reports possible new evidence of Planet 9. They have published their paper on the arXiv preprint server, and it has been accepted for publication in The Astrophysical Journal Letters.

In 2015, a pair of astronomers at Caltech found several objects bunched together beyond Neptune's orbit, near the edge of the solar system. The bunching, they theorized, was due to the pull of gravity from an unknown planet—one that later came to be called Planet 9.

Since that time, researchers have found more evidence of the planet, all of it circumstantial. In this new paper, the research team reports what they describe as additional evidence supporting the existence of the planet. Read more at New evidence found for Planet 9

$20K REWARD For Dolphin Killer

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration is offering a $20,000 reward for information that can help them find the person responsible for fatally shooting a dolphin at a beach near New Orleans, Louisiana.

According to NOAA's Office of Law Enforcement, the juvenile bottlenose dolphin was found dead on West Mae’s Beach in Cameron Parish, Louisiana, on March 13.

A member of the public found the dolphin with "multiple bullets lodged in the carcass," including in the brain, spinal cord, and heart, officials said. Read more at Officials offering $20,000 reward to find person who fatally shot dolphin in Louisiana

Most Recent NESSIE Sighting

A new sighting of the 'Loch Ness Monster', described as a creature "as big as three men" has been reported by an enthusiast who claims to have spotted a giant beast emerging from the water.

The observer, monster hunter Eoin O'Faodhagain, 59, was monitoring the Scottish loch using a webcam when he claimed to have seen a large black shape breaking the water's surface. He firmly believes that it was Nessie, the elusive creature that is supposedly said to inhabit Loch Ness.

As he prepares to visit the loch in person for The Quest weekend an event where Nessie believers try to track down the beast Mr O'Faodhagain's claimed sighting signals hopeful expectation for the gathering. Eoin shared his experience: "I noticed a spot in the water causing a disturbance at the edge of the webcam screen to the right. My heart jumped because I thought this disturbance was not the norm."

Were the Soviets Contacted by 'GREY ALIENS' In 1942?

The speculation continues as to what really occurred. There have been suggestions that the Soviets made some type of contact with Grey aliens during WWII. What do you think?

There have been rumors floating around for many years that the first Russian contact with “Grey aliens” allegedly took place in 1942. At the time, a series of diplomatic visits to discuss matters of mutual concern were planned, according to alleged Russian documents, and a treaty was made.

In 1969 in the state of Sverdlovsky, a UFO was reported to have crashed and was recovered by the Russian military. There is an alleged video footage showing the recovery, with close-ups of the UFO itself. Allegedly, there was one dead alien found in the craft. The remains of the alien and the UFO debris were taken to a secure Russian site, where the saucer was analyzed, and an autopsy was done on the alien.

According to the Russian newspaper “Pravda”, the KGB allegedly had a special unit designed to gather and monitor all pieces of information regarding mystical and unexplained phenomena reported inside and outside the Soviet Union.

Also according to Pravda, General A. G. Ponomarnko, head commander of the Urals military district, was to ensure that KGB agents be involved in the work about the UFO at all stages. The agents’ reports were promptly forwarded to Colonel A. I. Grigoriev, chief of the KGB scientific department.

According to other reports, there are unsubstantiated accounts that a UFO crashed or was shot down near the city of Prohlandnyi, in the USSR on August 10, 1989. Soviet military radar tracked an unidentified flying object and the Russians attempted unsuccessfully to contact the craft. The UFO was classified as “hostile.” Soviet defenses were alerted, and MIG-25s flew to find and identify the UFO.

There was obvious damage to the exterior of the craft. The retrieval team, wearing protective outerwear, moved to the site. There was a small amount of radiation, and some members of the team were affected.

A helicopter on the scene was hooked up to the craft, and the UFO was transported to Mozdok Air Base. Russians entered the UFO and discovered three alien bodies-two dead, one barely alive.

A team of doctors and other medical personnel made every effort to keep the alien alive but failed. All three of the beings were about 3 1/2 to 4 feet tall, with gray outerwear. Underneath, their skin was a blue-green color with a reptilian texture. They had no hair, large black eyes covered with a protective lid, and web fingers ended their long, slender arms. The alien bodies were kept in glass containers and the UFO was taken to Kapustin Yar.

This information was first reported by three Russian investigators-Anton Anfalov, Lenura Azizova and Alexander Mosolov. However, they had no documentation to support their story.

Various Sources

NOTE: Even though the Russian Republic is devolving deeper into a soviet state, there are still occasional reports leaked about the possibility of alien contact during the USSR's existence. Will we ever obtain the truth along with documentation? The current situation seems to place doubt on that scenario. Lon

DOPPELGÄNGERS: SHOULD WE FEAR THEM? | Join Us For LIVE CHAT | Questions & Answers #Doppelgänger

Have you ever met someone who looked just like you? Perhaps you’ve walked up to a person you thought you knew only to find they were a stranger. If so, you may have met a real-life doppelgänger.
What is a doppelgänger? The word comes from German meaning “double goer.” Today, it’s often used to describe two strangers who look so much alike they could be twins. Seeing a doppelgänger can be startling. That’s true whether it’s a person who looks just like you or someone who could be your friend’s twin. It’s no wonder, then, that doppelgängers are also common in frightening stories.
Many times, a doppelgänger is the double of another character. They are like the character in many ways, most often in looks. However, the things that make them different are more important. The doppelgänger often differs from the main character in the values they hold. This results in them making choices that lead them down a different path. For example, “The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde” by Robert Louis Stevenson. In this story, both characters share the same body. However, they are opposites, with Dr. Jekyll representing good and Mr. Hyde evil.
There is also a historical attribute to this phenomenon. President Abraham Lincoln supposedly saw his doppelgänger when he saw two faces in the mirror on the night of his first election in 1860. The second face was pale and sickly, which his wife, Mary, interpreted as a sign of death or sickness during his second term. Only a few months after his second election, Lincoln was assassinated by John Wilkes Booth.
So, what do you think a doppelgänger represents? Listen to these accounts and form your opinion.

The BIZARRE & FUTILE SEARCH For JIMMY HOFFA'S 'Supposed Dead' Body

The following articles, including most of the more popular speculation, look back at the bizarre and futile search for Jimmy Hoffa's 'supposed dead' body.

On July 30, 1975, Jimmy Hoffa, an American union organizer, vanished from a parking lot outside the Machus Red Fox restaurant in Bloomfield Township, Detroit. After seven years of his disappearance, Hoffa was declared dead, despite his remains never being found. The case has remained unsolved, and nobody has been charged with the disappearance. However, many suspect that Hoffa was murdered by the mob, the Independent reported.

According to The New York Times, Jimmy Hoffa had been losing his grip over the Teamsters’ Union, which he once presided over, even since the summer of 1975. He was found guilty of jury tampering and was sentenced to prison in 1964. Following his release after he served the sentence, he tried to get back into power within the union but was struggling to do so. Nonetheless, his relationship with the New Jersey Mafia boss, Anthony Provenzano, was getting increasingly strained too.

Jimmy Hoffa visited the Machus Red Fox to meet and talk to Anthony Provenzano and another mobster he knew. However, the men reportedly did not arrive at the restaurant. Hoffa disappeared shortly after that, leading to suspicions that the mafia was responsible for his disappearance. ABC 7 reported that millions of dollars and many hours have been spent on investigating Hoffa’s disappearance. They reportedly have been concluding every possible tip relating to the case.

Construction sites and landfills had been dug up. Meat grinders and car crushers had been checked. Several claims made by those even distantly acquainted with him had been cross-checked. But Jimmy Hoffa’s disappearance remains unsolved, nearly half a century later. Read more at Jimmy Hoffa: What Happened to the Labor Union Leader?

Have They Found Jimmy Hoffa's Body...Again?

Police were standing watch over a suburban Detroit driveway on Thursday where authorities have been told the body of former missing Teamsters boss Jimmy Hoffa may have been buried.

The curious were walking or driving by the Roseville home where state officials planned to take soil samples Friday in the search for human decomposition.

Roseville Police Chief James Berlin previously said officials were "not claiming it's Jimmy Hoffa, the timeline doesn't add up. We're investigating a body that may be at the location."

Hoffa was last seen on July 30, 1975, outside a suburban Detroit restaurant where he was supposed to meet with a New Jersey Teamsters boss and a Detroit Mafia captain. His body has not been found despite several searches over the years.

Innumerable theories about the demise of the union boss have surfaced over time. Among them: He was entombed in concrete at Giants Stadium in New Jersey, ground up and thrown in a Florida swamp, or obliterated in a mob-owned fat-rendering plant. The search has continued under a backyard pool north of Detroit in 2003, under the floor of a Detroit home in 2004, and at a horse farm northwest of Detroit in 2006.

After Roseville police received the most recent tip, the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality used ground-penetrating radar on a 12-foot-by-12-foot patch beneath the driveway, said agency spokesman Brad Wurfel.

It found "that the earth had been disturbed at some point," Berlin said.

The environmental quality department will take soil samples Friday that will be sent to a forensic anthropologist at Michigan State University to "have it tested for human decomposition," Berlin said.

Results are not expected until next week.

Cindi Frank snapped cellphone photos Thursday of the backyard cordoned off with yellow police tape. The 57-year-old Roseville resident said her father was a Teamsters driver and Hoffa's disappearance and numerous searches always have interested her family.

Frank said if Hoffa's body is discovered, "it will be a big deal. ... This has just been one of those unsolved mysteries." - Various Sources

Giants Stadium Came Down & FBI Didn't Look For Hoffa's Remains

In the November 1989 issue of Playboy, Donald "Tony the Greek" Frankos said Jimmy Hoffa's body was buried at Giants Stadium.

Cut in pieces. Put in a steel drum.

Entombed in concrete at Section 107, near the end zone.

Gives new meaning to the term "coffin corner," joked Sports Illustrated.

Twenty years later, a new billion-dollar stadium is rising in the Meadowlands, and the old Giants Stadium will host one last round of pro football - and Bruce Springsteen concerts.

Next year, the walls will come a-tumblin' down.

So, will the authorities check for the remains of the Hoffa, the legendary Teamsters boss, last seen alive in Detroit in July 1975?

Apparently not.

The FBI officially punted that idea back in 1989.

"Never say never, but it is a remote possibility he is buried there," said Special Agent Hal Helterhoff then, after the investigation failed to find "any substantiation."

The teardown changes nothing, said Special Agent Bryan Travers yesterday.

"If there was some credible information, we wouldn't wait until the stadium was being demolished," he said. "We would go in there and aggressively look for it ...

"We would never wait this long. ... We would have no problem digging a giant hole at the 50-yard line if we thought there was reason to act," he said.

"No, there are no plans," said Alice McGillion, spokeswoman for the New Meadowlands Stadium Corp., the company formed to build the privately financed new home of the Giants and the New York Jets, and tear down the old one.

The decision's up to law enforcement, but no agencies have spoken up so far, she said.

"The stadium will taken down next spring, and the area will become a parking lot," she said.

Nationally, the last big buzz about the Hoffa case was in 2006, when the FBI's Detroit office, acting on a tip, brought a bulldozer to the Hidden Dreams horse farm in Milford Township, Mich.

No hidden Hoffa.

In 2004, investigators tested bloodstained floorboards from a Detroit home, because of published allegations that Frank Sheeran, a Philadelphia and Delaware union leader, confessed, just before he died, to shooting Hoffa.

The blood, though, wasn't Hoffa's.

A backyard pool was excavated the year before, again to no avail.

But it can't be said that no hair from his head was ever found.

A strand was recovered from a car that an associate, Charles "Chuckie" O'Brien, drove the night of the disappearance. Testing identified the hair as Hoffa's in 2001.

Other theories: His remains were dumped in a Florida swamp, rendered in a fat-rendering plant, and became part of a scrap metal block shipped to Japan.

No plans have yet been made to sell or auction parts of the old Giants Stadium, McGillion said.

One wonders if mementos of legendary Section 107 fetch a nice price with collectors.

As for an old 50-gallon drum showing up, encased in concrete there - well, that might be a case of Jimmy Hoffa rolling over in his grave. - Philly.com

NOTE: I refer to the next encounter as the 'I Am Jimmy Hoffa' report. I heard about this not long after it was reported and just recently came across it again. Please note that union leader Jimmy Hoffa had been missing since July 1975 which makes this report very unusual. Lon

Location: Pelham, Georgia
Date/Time: August 6, 1977 - 10:30 am local time

"I AM JIMMY HOFFA"

Tom Dawson, 63 and retired, was walking with his two dogs from his trailer home to a nearby farm when a "circular-shaped spaceship" with a dome and portholes, 40-50 ft in diameter and 12-14 ft high, hovered several feet off the ground in a field in front of him. He immediately noticed that he was unable to move a muscle as well as his dogs and the cattle in the field seemed likewise to be immobilized.

A hatch in the object opened, a ramp was extended, and 7 strange-looking humanoids 5 ft tall emerged, five men and two women. The first stepped down cautiously as if to test the solidity of the ground; then the rest followed, with two taking up sentry positions at the hatch. They were all hairless, with skin "as white as a flour sack," their noses were sharp and turned up, their ears were pointed, and they had no necks. One of the men and one of the women were completely nude. The clothing of the rest, male and female alike, was very beautiful with silk-like shoes with pointed, turned-up toes.

The humanoids cautiously approached Dawson and gave him a kind of physical examination, placing on his head a skullcap with cords connecting it to a hoop bearing dials. They dropped his trousers and lifted his shirt for the examination, passing the hoop over his body. While the examination was in progress, a loud voice came from the object, shouting three times "I am Jimmy Hoffa" (!) a fourth repetition was cut off, and the voice was not heard again.

After completing the examination, all returned to the craft except two men, who walked about 10 feet away and "went into a conference." They had very shrill voices, and although Dawson was unable to comprehend what it was they said, he thought he heard the word "Jupiter." He had the impression they were debating whether or not to take him on board; at any rate, they did not, and the leader passed his palm across his chest as though to signal goodbye. They re-entered the ship, closed the hatch, and took off. He saw the object rise to 75 feet then, in a wink, it was out of sight. Dawson was then freed of his paralysis; he ran directly to his next-door neighbor, but was so excited he could say nothing more than "spaceship!" He was taken to a hospital and treated for hysteria.

Book claims Teamsters boss Jimmy Hoffa was buried in cement at General Motors' HQ

The disappearance of Teamsters union boss Jimmy Hoffa remains one of America's most enduring mysteries.

But now, nearly four decades after Hoffa vanished, his driver has claimed he knows where he is buried – and how he got there.

Marvin Elkind said Hoffa was killed by a mob enforcer and buried in the foundations of the towering General Motors’ HQ in Detroit, Michigan.

‘It was his own people who did it,’ Mr Elkind said in excerpts of a new book published in the New York Post, adding Mafia member Tony Jack insinuated he was responsible.

The startling claim comes 36 years after Hoffa, who led the labor union for 13 years, vanished while on his way to meet two mobsters he knew well, Anthony Provenzano and Tony Jack – real name Anthony Giacalone.

Mr Elkind explains how, during a Teamsters conference in 1985, he was among a group of men walking from the city’s Omni International when the Center came into view.

Tony Jack nodded toward the tower’s base and said, ‘Say good morning to Jimmy Hoffa, boys’, Mr Elkind alleges in The Weasel: A Double Life in the Mob[image error] by Adrian Humphreys.

He also describes the rush to build the Renaissance Center following the disappearance of Hoffa – and claims the body was buried in wet cement.

‘There was a mad rush to get the concrete poured,’ the New York Post quotes the book as saying.

Hoffa was declared legally dead on July 30, 1982, when he would have been 69.

Secrets: Elkind makes the claims in The Weasel: A Double Life in the Mob by Canadian journalist Adrian Humphreys

He was a union stalwart, serving as its General President from 1958 to 1971 and playing a key part in its growth and development.

During his term as its leader, membership surged to more than 1.5 million members, becoming the largest single union in the country.

As well as a role as Jimmy Hoffa's driver, Mr Elkind had careers as a loan collector, a boxer - and a police informant.

He was working as a busboy in a Toronto restaurant frequented by Jimmy Hoffa's crew when he was poached as a driver.

Mr Elkind initially said he didn't want the job, but he was told: 'Nobody's asking you.'

He began testifying against the mob when police discovered he'd worked with a con man. They gave him an ultimatum - tell or be charged.

The book, by Canadian reporter Adrian Humphreys, follows his life.

It takes its title from Mr Elkind's nickname, The Weasel, which he claims was his boxing moniker - rather than to do with his snitching. - Daily Mail

The Weasel: A Double Life in the Mob[image error]

NOTE: I'd like to think Hoffa escaped the venom of the Mafia, but we know that didn't happen. It may possibly be an interesting target for a remote viewing session. He may not be 'with the fishes.' But rest assured, Hoffa 'sleeps' somewhere. Lon

BROWN, GORILLA-LIKE CREATURE Witnessed in Wayne, New Jersey

The eyewitness lived in Wayne, New Jersey, only 20 miles from downtown New York City. One summer he and others witness a brown gorilla-like creature in a tree nearby.

I received the following account:

"Hi, Lon. This occurred around 1998-99 to a close friend of mine who just recently brought it up again, which compelled me to write in. I usually don’t like to recount other people’s stories, but my friend would never be the type to share this experience with you or any other individual he didn’t personally know, so here I am.

My friend’s family lived on a busy street in Wayne, NJ. Behind the house was a pool and deck with a yard and a wooded area beyond. One summer afternoon, he, his brother, and his mother were sitting around the pool on the deck when they heard an unusual rustling up a tree on the fringe of the wooded area. Looking up they saw, what my friend described, as a large, brown gorilla-like creature. It was perched on a branch while vigorously shaking another smaller branch above it which was causing the loud ruffling sound that had caught their attention.

As they stared at this thing dumbfounded, they were close enough to realize that it was staring right back at them as it shook the branch. Then, after about a minute, it dissolved into the treetops and deeper into the woods. It was the summer so they quickly lost sight of it among the dense foliage and didn’t dare trail it into the woods due to the freakiness of it all.

The next day, I was invited over to hang out and go swimming at his pool and that’s when he told me what had happened the previous day. As he was telling me, he pointed out the tree and branch on which the “gorilla” appeared. It was a towering tulip poplar, and the branch which he pointed out had to be about 50-55 feet high. I asked him why they didn’t call the police and he said that if they ever saw it again they would.

To this day, my friend will say that he and his family still do not know what it was, but in the same breath, he’ll also say it had to be a guy in a gorilla suit because there is no other explanation. If it were a guy in a gorilla suit, he would have been extraordinarily athletic since he was able to climb roughly 50 feet up a bare trunk and acrobatically maneuver from tree to tree.

I also asked him if it could have been someone’s pet monkey, but he said it was too big and was definitely either an ape or a person dressed like one. There are no zoos remotely close from which a gorilla could have escaped, and if there was such an animal on the loose, I’m sure it would have been big news. I suppose we’ll never know who or what it was in the treetops of Wayne that day." K

NOTE: Wayne is in Passaic County, New Jersey, less than twenty miles from midtown New York City. That being said, you cannot rule out that this may have been a Bigfoot-like being since there are several fair-sized wooded areas in the vicinity. Lon

RED-EYED, SNARLING BIGFOOT Scares Witness at Cascade Locks, Oregon

A group of friends at Cascade Locks, Oregon. The witness picks up a rock to throw into one of the steam vents when he notices a red-eyed Bigfoot snarling at him.

I received the following account:

“Hi, Lon. In 1987, a friend of ours had gone up above the Cascade Locks, Oregon and found some steam vents. And those steam vents, we went up and tried to find them, one weekend of that year (1987) and we couldn't find them.

So what we did was we went back and talked to my friend again and she gave us a map. We went back up there with that map and it was a long way up there and we found them. While we were there, we found those vents and I thought to myself, I wonder how much pressure there is, so I picked up a rock to throw it into the hole to see if it would pop back out, and when I picked that rock up I just got chills thinking about it. That is when I saw this tall Bigfoot.

Now let me explain how it looked. It snarled, it was nasty. It stepped over a log that I would have had to crawl over and it stood there and growled at us. And I had that rock in my hand and I was getting ready to throw it and I froze. My friend was standing there off to the left of me looking over and that thing snarled at us. It had eyes like a cherry on your cigarette.

When I was a kid I had heard stories about this. While we were standing there, my buddy's friend took off running and it turned its body and followed him but when he got too far, he turned himself to me and looked me in the eye and I'm not kidding, I got the biggest rush I've ever had in my life. I remembered back at what the First Nations people used to say if you see one and you look him in the eyes, he will steal your soul. It scared the crap out of me.” J

PHANTOMS & MONSTERS NEWS: Las Vegas 'NONHUMAN' Witness Speaks Out - 'ALIEN LIFE' Discovery Near - Active Volcano Spews GOLD!

Las Vegas 'NONHUMAN' Witness Speaks Out

The Las Vegas teenager who claimed something crashed in his backyard last year, prompting a 911 call about “nonhuman” beings, is speaking out for the first time.

Angel Kenmore, 17, said in an exclusive interview with NewsNation national correspondent Alex Caprariello that he saw a “giant creature” who he believes may have been a “demon” but “only God knows.”

Kenmore said he felt paralyzed after looking at the entity for about 30 seconds. He remembers closing his eyes and praying for it to go away.

“It was moving and breathing. It was pissed off. Like it wanted to do something looking at me. I remember he was growling,” Kenmore said. Read more at Las Vegas ‘nonhuman, UFO’ encounter ‘traumatizing,’ teen says

'ALIEN LIFE' Discovery Near

“Generally, when I’m on a plane, if I tell somebody that I search for life on planets around other stars, I don’t get to sleep,” says Lisa Kaltenegger, with a laugh. “It’s always a careful, curated answer depending on if I need to do something next morning when I arrive or not.

Active Volcano Spews GOLD!

It sounds like a dream, but it's true in Antarctica, gold rains from the sky. Tucked in among the glaciers, fiery Mount Erebus is the southernmost active volcano on Earth, providing a bit of heat amid the frozen landscape.

The frozen continent features 138 volcanoes, according to a 2017 study, with around nine of them reported as active. With a summit elevation of 12,448 feet (3,794 meters), Mount Erebus is the most well-known. Read more at Active volcano in Antarctica spews tiny crystals of gold worth $6,000 a day

Horrifying RED-EYED 'WEREWOLF' Encountered in Wise River, Montana

A former Montana resident describes his encounters with a cryptid canine not long after moving into his new home. The red-eyed beast left an indelible impression on the witness!

I received the following account:

"Hello. This event happened in mid-July 2015. I lived in Montana, outside of a rural community with a population of about 2,000.

During this time, I lived in a small one-floor ranch home by myself. My nearest neighbor lived one mile away and was a farmer. I never had many strange encounters leading up to this one but the woods by my house always had an ominous feel to it. Soon after moving in, I realized why the previous homeowners left pretty quickly. I’d start to hear noises in the woods. These weren’t just any noises, but what sounded like blood-curdling screams and growls. After some research, I learned that even something like a raccoon or bobcat can make these unnatural noises and chalked it up to be that. But still it just never felt right. It’s hard to explain, but I never felt like this before and it was just something about the woods around my house that made me uncomfortable. Like I was always being watched.

The first experience I couldn’t explain happened about two weeks after I moved in. There was a thunderstorm and the thunder was loud enough to keep me awake. (I never did feel comfortable in storms by myself). The lighting was crazy and would light up the whole surrounding area for a fraction of a second. I was lying on the couch and got up to get a glass and a drink at the sink. It was about 2 am if I recall correctly. Above it, there’s a small window that gives a view of my yard leading up to the tree line. When the next flash of lightning hit, I saw it. Admittedly it wasn’t a long view, but it gave me enough time to see whatever this thing was. It was near the tree line, just a few steps into my yard. At first, I thought it was a bear, but it wasn’t. It was standing on two legs with its face pointed towards the house. Its legs were like a dog’s and I could clearly make out the hocks. It was hard to tell the color of the fur but it was dark. Its upper body was massive with a wide torso and arms that could almost reach the ground from standing. The strangest thing is how the upper body seemed to dwarf the lower body. After standing there, frozen in shock, I waited for the next lightning strike but when it happened it wasn’t there. It happened so quickly and was gone so quickly. After that, I bought a gun and would sleep with it within arm's reach.

The next encounter is what I consider the most frightening thing of my life. For several weeks nothing worth noting happened. I don’t get cable where I live and one night I was watching something and my satellite kept acting up. I didn’t like going outside at night but this would be quick, I just had to move the antenna a little bit. Nothing had happened for a few weeks so I decided to just go out and do it. I grabbed my gun and flashlight and went out. The first thing I noticed was the eerie quietness that surrounded me. This time of year at night the woods are active with all types of creatures. Not tonight. Despite the fear I was developing, I made my way over to the satellite and began to adjust it. I heard a small snap of a stick and quickly turned to my left and shined the light toward the direction of the noise.

What I saw will horrify me for the rest of my life. I was immediately met with red eyes. These eyes were the color of blood and they were evil. The head of this thing looked like a mutated German Shepard. I don’t like to say it, but it looked like a werewolf. A long snout and pointed ears. The fur was black and shaggy in some places. I could see this creature’s extremely developed musculature and it dwarfed even the biggest humans on earth. It was half in and half out of the woods, almost crouching and it still came up to my head at 6 ft. Fully standing, this thing would have been 8 feet I estimated. I was about 20 feet from this thing. I didn’t even consider my gun which I thought to protect me. Chances are in hindsight, the little .223 bullets would have just pissed this thing off before it tore me to shreds. I backed away slowly, never breaking eye contact with it. I gently picked up my gun and my fight-or-flight reflexes kicked in. I chose flight. Maybe not the best option, but even if I stayed there, this thing would kill me. I ran the fastest I ever have in my life and didn’t turn back once. I have no idea if it was pursuing me. I got in the house, locked every door, and window, covered the blinds, and sat with my back against the wall cradling the gun the entire night. I didn’t get a wink of sleep that night and very few the following days. To make a long story short, I don’t live there anymore.

People often talk of Sasquatch being harmonious with nature and living within the ecosystem. Sure, if you see one it might be scary, but it’s probably more awe than anything. With this thing, it was totally different. It felt unnatural. It was sinister. It felt evil. It was stalking me, toying with me, and I believe it would have killed me. I have never seen nor experienced this feeling again in my life. It is a memory I try to put past me, but I still get nightmares about it. I think until the day I die I will always have the image burned into my memory.

The best image I have seen that fits the description of the creature is the werewolf from the movie "The Howling." I will answer any questions you have." RC

The eyewitness provided more information later:

"This is my first time bringing the story forward.

The isolation is definitely the worst part. It’s just you and this creature out there and if it decides that it doesn’t want you around anymore, you will disappear. Then your death will be ruled as either an attack from bears or wolves. Looking back, there were a lot of “wildlife” related deaths in my general area. I wonder if it’s just a coincidence.

My neighbor who was a chicken farmer died. I tried getting a hold of him and finding things out but his family was secretive.

The address was 61720 Highway 43, Wise River, MT 59762

In my mind, there is no way this way a bear. I was so close to it that I could see every feature. It had an obvious canine appearance on the face and also had hocks, like the legs of a dog. Misidentification is always a thing, but I don’t believe this was anything like a bear.

Maybe the whole sinister and evil thing is an exaggeration. If it wanted to hurt me it would have done it. It’s just how I justify coming face to face with something so terrifying I think. It looked like a predator that would rip me apart.

It’s just that it wasn’t scared of me. Unlike other Dogman stories I have read, this thing didn’t run off or back down. It wasn't expressively aggressive in the encounter, it was just silently watching me. It didn’t growl at me either. It was just dead silent.

Yes, I saw it very close. So close I could even smell it. It smelled like well.. a wet dog that rolled in something nasty. Very strong and pungent. When the light was shined on its face, its eyes had the same reflection that cats would." RC

MISSING TIME! Unexplained Incident, 5 Hours Lost, & 200 Miles Away!

A security guard is on the job at a news station in San Antonio, Texas. After doing paperwork, he finds himself on a highway almost 200 miles away! He has no idea what occurred.

“I'm an armed security guard in San Antonio, Texas. I was working the late shift downtown. 11:00 o'clock, I was doing my paperwork, returning to the news station I was guarding. I wrote down 2300 and that's the last thing I remember except coming to, walking down a highway at 4 in the morning. A lady and her son stopped and picked me up. I had no idea where I was and they drove me to a convenience store. I called my son and he came and picked me up. It took him about an hour to get there. I had like 5 hours of missing time.

When I got home, I went to sleep for like a day and a half. And when I came to, I had bruises all over my legs and all my arms. My uniform was perfectly clean so I didn't fall down or anything. I had no idea how I got way out there. It was just weird. It took me a week to find my pickup truck. I had to call the sheriff's office to get them to track it down and it was parked on the side of the highway, just perfectly. Not a scratch on it. I didn't wreck it or anything and it never happened again. But it was like 5 or 6 hours of missing time and some bruises. (Clyde Lewis asks him what he thinks happened) I have no idea. All I remember is filling out that paperwork at the end of my shift and I ended up way out past Wallersville, which is east of Houston! (Clyde asks if he's ever had seizures) No. (Clyde asks if it scares him) No. It doesn't really scare me. I just wonder how I got out there, you know, it's just crazy. I never had any... I've never seen any strange things in the sky either.

I've been listening to the station now for about two years since I've been doing this. When I found my truck, my weapon, gun belt, everything was in the truck. I never take it off until I get home. My wallet, and everything else, was all in the truck. Nothing was on me. And my shirt was untucked. My boots were untied. It's just crazy. I was just wandering down the highway. And my head felt totally weird for like a week. (Clyde asks if he slipped on ice and hit his head). San Antonio, there's no ice in the summertime.” G

UFO Encounter, Power Loss, Possible Abduction & Disappearing Photos

A UFO appears in Playa del Rey, California in January 2017. The eyewitness, along with others, observes the event, takes photos, and then experiences a possible abduction.

I received the following account:

"Hello, sir. It was dusk on January 23, 2017. I was at my house in Playa del Rey, California. My lights dimmed to orange accompanied by an odd sound like the powering up of a large transformer the opposite noise I expected to accompany lights dimming. The lights came back up suddenly but went out altogether just a few seconds later. I went to my outside fuse box to check the breakers but only took two steps outside the house to notice a large craft directly above me maybe only 100 feet up. It was obviously responsible for a power outage as I could see other houses go black underneath it as it proceeded out toward the ocean. I was initially freaked out and ran to a local restaurant two blocks away. I didn't believe in UFOs until then, so I wanted a witness and I grabbed the manager I know Mario, who while complaining about his customers with no power was also being physically dragged outside by me. I pointed at a large UFO and said what the @#$% is that? He looked very alarmed and just stared. His hostess came out and she looked like someone about to scream, which she then did, but pointed opposite the large craft.

The hillside opposite the ocean had at least seven small lights blinking in and out hovering over and under the power lines and transformers that go up that hill. They were moving quickly, and I saw that entities were emerging partially from lights. I was the only one who ran closer. I ran up to the foot of the hill and began filming until I could tell one saw me and it landed behind me in my alley in an aggressive manner I took off back to the restaurant and a hub of humanity. That one took off back to a large ship.

I went to my neighbors took a telescope and shot photos using my iPhone.

I have a view of a large craft without light obstruction as it was blinking I caught one moment with no light emitting.

I would have sent photos but, for some unknown reason, the images were no longer on my iPhone. I didn't remove them. They just disappeared. I even went to the phone store, but there was nothing to retrieve.

Unrelated? The next few days were odd as I felt very much like someone was watching me and following me. A full week later I fell asleep at 2pm and did not wake until 8 am, I had 4 bruises on each bicep in the same pattern. Very odd. Nothing since and have not had the someone following out of the corner of my eye feeling since." P

MAMA BIGFOOT, Carrying Juvenile, Throws Small Tree in Northern Wisconsin

A couple was in the northern woods of Wisconsin looking for a camping spot when they encountered, what turned out to be, a female Bigfoot and her juvenile.

“I never told this story to anyone but my family and maybe three other people. I'm retired. I worked in science and I'm a skeptic of most of the things I hear about. This happened to me in 1964. My wife and I went out in the northern woods of Wisconsin, looking for a place to go camping. We weren't going camping, we were just looking. I was going through some really tall, wide grass and I saw a place up in front of me that looked like it was padded down, so I was very leery. So I went up there and peeked, and there's a bear in there. I told my wife to run and get my gun. She ran to the car. I ran over and swung up into a tree. And the bear was only maybe a first or second-year bear. I didn't see the mother around or anything. I was so scared, I couldn't figure out what to do.

So I'm standing there, looking at this bear and I know bears climb trees but this one wasn't trying to climb it. It looked like he was playing with me. And all of a sudden a tree, a small tree, maybe eight feet long, with dirt on one end, came flying out of the bushes and hit this bear in the rump, and, boy, he took off. He ran under where I was in the tree. And I turned around and watched him disappear through the grass. I was ready to get down out of the tree and I turned around and there was this thing standing there. Up until this time, I'd never heard of a Bigfoot or anything like that. I grew up in the city in Ohio, so I'd never heard of such a thing.

The first thing I really noticed was it had four arms. It had two long arms and it had two little arms that looked like it came out the back of its neck. And I think I froze. I don't know but I looked this creature in the eye. It had dark eyes and its face and eyes were one of the most peaceful things I had ever seen. And I just stood there on this limb, looking at it ten feet away from me. The first thing that popped into my head was, it was an alien that had come from somewhere off this world. I don't know how long I stared at it but all my fear left me and I was just calm, standing there looking at this creature. And my wife came running back from the car. I had told her to get my pistol out of the car but it was the wrong car. It was in my other car. I wasn't gonna shoot it. I was gonna shoot at the bear and make noise and run it away. But anyway, when I looked over at my wife I thought, Oh my goodness, I'm not dreaming. And I looked back and I saw it turn and walk about another ten feet away from me and go back into these bushes. Well, there were small trees and then in the back of that, there was a forest. Big trees.

Anyway, hanging on the back, what I thought was two extra arms, was a baby hanging in the back of it and it had a hold of the hair on the chest. It didn't look like anything from the ape family. I gotta tell you, I have a very good memory and I took a picture, more or less, unconsciously, of its face. I looked at the feet of the baby and they were flat. It had toes like people's toes. It disappeared into the woods. And I'm just standing there. I'm just stunned still. My wife comes over and says, 'Where's the bear?' I said. 'It ran off.' She said, 'Why?' I said, 'That tree. That tree came flying out of the bushes and hit him in the rear end and he ran away.'”
