PHANTOMS & MONSTERS: NEWS & UPDATES - Ready For CICADA-GEDDON? - NESSIE HUNTERS Beg NASA For Help - Is PENTAGON'S New UAP Report Flawed?

Ready For CICADA-GEDDON?

The periodical cicadas that are about to infest two parts of the United States aren’t just plentiful, they’re downright weird.

These insects are the strongest urinators in the animal kingdom with flows that put humans and elephants to shame. They have pumps in their heads that pull moisture from the roots of trees, allowing them to feed for more than a decade underground. They are rescuers of caterpillars.

And they are being ravaged by a sexually transmitted disease that turns them into zombies. Continue reading at Cicadas are nature’s weirdos

NESSIE HUNTERS Beg NASA For Help

They’re reaching for the stars.

After 90 years of unsubstantiated Loch Ness monster sightings, Scotland’s Loch Ness Centre has turned to an unlikely source to aid them in their ongoing hunt for Nessie: NASA.

“We are hoping that Nessie hunters around the world will help us reach the people at NASA,” said Aimee Todd, marketing manager for the monster hunting institution, located in Drumnadrochit, per the Independent. “We are hoping to reach them through the power of social media.”

When asked how NASA could help, she explained: “Experts from NASA might have some advanced imaging technology to scan the loch. We would have to sit down and talk to them about how to get it here.” Continue reading at Loch Ness monster hunters beg NASA for help on the ‘biggest’ expedition: ‘We are determined’

Is PENTAGON'S New UAP Report Flawed?

Last month the U.S. government’s new UAP investigation office, the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), submitted a report to Congress entitled, “Report on the Historical Record of U.S. Government Involvement with Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena” (UAP, the new term for UFO). This new report is itself anomalous for several reasons.

First, who ever heard of a government report being submitted months before it was due? Especially one so rife with embarrassing errors in desperate need of additional fact-checking and revision? Was AARO Director Dr. Sean Kirkpatrick rushing to get the report out the door before departing, perhaps to ensure that his successor could not revise or reverse some of the report’s conclusions?

Indiana Driver INJURED BY GREEN-EYED 'WOLFMAN' Near Indianapolis

A dark, fur-covered 'wolfman' jumps in front of the witness' vehicle. The beast has a terrible odor deep green eyes and a long snout. The beast swipes at and injures the witness.

I received the following account:

"I wish to keep my name to myself, but I am willing to provide my account of what happened. This is a first-hand account of an encounter that I had with a creature of unknown origin.

It was about five years ago, late at night. I went for a walk in the dark to clear my head one night when I got the feeling that I was being followed. Before I could say anything a dark, fur-covered creature lunged out of the nearby bushes. It looked like a large man crossed with a wolf. It had deep green eyes and an elongated snout. The thing smelled like a rotting deer carcass and it was very heavy.

It slammed into me, knocking me to the ground where it stood over me and growled as it looked me in the face. I kicked it and it yelped before swiping at me, cutting my arm with its sharp claws. I was sure it was going to kill me, but then a noise similar to a car with a broken muffler backfiring scared it and the creature ran away. Strangely, my arm no longer felt like it was bleeding, and the cut wasn't hurting anymore.

My shirt sleeve was torn but when I wiped away the wet blood from my arm, there wasn't even a scratch left behind. I was sure that it was just a bad dream and so I headed back home. I never reported this because I was certain that nobody would believe me, and because it has been haunting me every day since. I haven't seen this creature since it ran off into the woods when that sound scared it off, but I sometimes worry that it might come back. I also don't know why the scratch on my arm was gone moments after the thing ran off. Everything I've found about it online has said that it was a werewolf, but I don't think those are real. It also isn't like the Dogman or any other similar kind of creature.

If you have heard of anything else like this, I would be interested to hear about it. Thank you.

NOTE: This incident occurred in the Indianapolis area, no location specifics were offered since the witness wanted to remain anonymous. The blood may have already been on the creature's claws and transferred to the witness, even though the sleeve was cut. The green eyes are unusual for a canine, maybe it was a shapeshifter. Your thoughts are welcomed. Lon

WEIRD TRAVEL: Dad Ran Over a Ghost / Strange WV Incident / Phantom Footsteps

3 weird & unexplained 'on the road' & traveling incidents as described by the witnesses:

1975 – London, UK: “Not sure if I've told this before on here or not? But this is my Dad's story. Just to explain, he's ex-British Army, not scared of anything, and super practical. He became a lorry driver about 1975 I think this was not long after he started.

So this happened about 5:00 AM on a summer's day. It was a bit misty like you get some mornings early but bright, and he was heading out of London on the A3. He was driving his lorry, and up ahead was a young woman, in her early 20s in a long blue dress standing by the side of the road. It must have been before the A3 was dueled, and all the barriers were put up. So Dad sees her and thinks she's waiting for a ride to work. Just as he's about to go past her, she jumps in front of his lorry. He immediately slams on the brakes, as he's sure he's hit her, but he doesn't feel a bang where else could she be? A couple of cars stop to see what's going on, Dad shakily explains and the drivers kindly offer to stay while he looks for her under the lorry. Dad looks, and she's not there. Other drivers look and there's nothing. No body, no blood, no sign of anyone. They all freak out a bit and then decide leaving ASAP is a great idea! He can't explain it, he knows she was there and he hit her. He spent the rest of his driving career avoiding that route.” MC

-----

May 2018 - Nevada: “I have a weird Nevada story. Last May, I went for the first time to Las Vegas and rented a car to go see the desert (also my first time in a real desert), to take photos of the starry night sky as far away as possible from light pollution. I drove all the way to Rachel, and then after the sunset, I started driving back toward LV. I stopped here due to the wide shoulder. I set up my tripod and camera and started taking long exposures. While I was doing that, I heard footsteps. I had a good bright LED flashlight so I turned it on and as I started to go all around the car, the footsteps stopped. I scanned in all directions and saw nothing.

Maybe it was my imagination, so I continued taking more photos. The footsteps started again, and again I scanned all around with the flashlight. The footsteps stop and I see nothing. I walk back to my tripod and camera, wondering if I should take more photos and I hear more footsteps! So I grabbed my gear, threw it in the car, and got the hell out of there.” WB

-----

"I have two freaky things that have happened. First, middle of the night with a buddy we pulled off to the side of the highway to relieve ourselves and switch drivers. Nobody else is around on the road. I walk to the side, pitch black. My buddy is just stretching his back or whatever. I heard something in the woods shake a tree. No other way to describe it, a tree about 30 feet away shook. Then I hear something BIG crashing through the woods coming straight for us and the car. My buddy and I don't even say anything, he dives in the driver's side and I jump through the passenger window, pants still down. He floors it out of there, legs and pants dangling outside. Never did see anything in the rearview mirror but there was something out there coming at us. My buddy likes to say he heard me stop peeing when that tree shook.

Second, I was solo somewhere in West Virginia, again middle of the night. I got off an exit, one of those long curvy ones. I saw lights before I got off and assumed it was exit stuff, or maybe even construction. Get to the exit and it's not construction, it's a ton of Army or National Guard guys. The exit was lit up brighter than daytime, so many lights were set up pointing everywhere. The Army guys were completely decked out, gas masks on and assault rifles. They were sprinting around. One guy at the corner was frantically waving me through to get back on the highway. I gunned it out of there.

I looked in the news later and didn't see anything, no idea what was going on that night. I was at work. Yes, it was a dirt road. I was trying to get into Kanawa State Forest, but I had no cell signal and no map, so I was kinda winging it. I went back to a really scenic road, with rhododendrons, rock faces, steep mountains, etc. I thought I had to be near the forest. And really everybody I encountered up to that point had been very nice, they all just wanted to know where I was from because I didn't have a heavy accent. But then there was the MPs, they didn't know the meaning of nice, and I was too damn scared to argue. I had to back up for a good 1/8 mile or so because I couldn't even turn around, they escorted me to the main road, gave me directions to Kanawa and to the interstate and I was happy to be rid of them.

So any clue what was so secret back that road or what happened? If it was a mine access road, could there have been a mine gas explosion, or were they mining specifically for the military? I can't remember exactly, but it was either a Tuesday or a Wednesday. I had been staying in hotels on the weekends and camping and hiking during the week. I was really trying to avoid the weekend crowds of campers and families. It was two weeks before Memorial Day weekend. Like I said I didn't want to run into all the families doing their start of summer camping trips and parties on Memorial Day weekend. It is probably possible they were doing a training exercise during the week also, but I just found it odd the way they acted about it. I've seen the National Guard do some training and preparedness stuff and they usually tell you straight up that it's a training exercise. These guys didn't say anything to that effect and they were adamant that I was trespassing and had to leave NOW! It just felt much more "real" than a training exercise. I don't know though, it's possible they were just taking their practice very seriously.” TX

3 U.S. Army Infantry BIGFOOT Encounters at Joint Base Lewis-McChord, Washington

3 brief, but interesting, Army infantry Bigfoot encounter accounts that occurred at or near Fort Lewis Army Base, now Joint Base Lewis-McChord, in the 1960s-1970s.

"In 1966 in Pierce County, Washington at Fort Lewis Army Base (Joint Base Lewis-McChord) My sighting occurred on February 27, 1966 while stationed at Fort Lewis, Washington. It was me and four other men out on survival training in the Nisqually River Basin about 30 miles south of Tacoma, Washington. We decided to go to the river that day to catch some fish.

As we approached the river we could see the creature was kneeling by the water. Then as we walked towards it the creature stood up on two legs and looked at us and then turned and walked into the river and swam easily to the other side. When it reached the other side it turned toward us and looked for about 10 minutes. Then it turned and walked into the forest. The thing that got our attention was the way it moved. It walked for about eight yards on two legs just like a man. We stood and watched it. I would say initially it was only 10 to 20 feet from us. We could see it very clearly it stood. It was 8 feet tall and had kind of reddish brown hair covering most of its body except for its hands and face. The head was the shape of a man. It appeared to have no neck. The mouth was large with protruding lips. We saw no teeth, it did not bare its teeth. Its nose was quite large and lay flat against its face. The encounter lasted for 20 minutes and not once during this time was there any sign of aggression. It seemed more curious than aggressive. We returned to our camp more amazed than fearful."

Here's another one from Fort Lewis Army Base in 1978:

"My name is Carol and I'm about to tell you about my domestic partner Tim. He was in the Ninth Infantry Division, Third Battalion, 47th Infantry Combat Support Recon platoon in North Fort Lewis. He was on aggressor detail in the Mount Rainier training area.

It was late one night and he wanted to get off alone. He walked off the ways from his Army bud so he could have a smoke and eat something. He was crouching down and had some small piece pieces of wood so he could heat up his beef stew. Then he felt he was being watched by something. He turned around and only a few feet away, leaning against the tree, was this Bigfoot. He didn't seem afraid. He just stared at Tim. The Bigfoot was tall and slender, Tim thought that the creature was probably very young. Tim also said the Bigfoot had the reddest eyes he had ever seen and to the best of his knowledge they could have been bloodshot eyes. Tim said he chose that area to relax because there was some green moss on the ground. He stopped at that point to smoke and heat up his can of stew.

His stint in the Army was from 1977 to 1979 at Fort Lewis, He never told any military what he saw because he thought they wouldn't believe him. But Tim would never make up this story. He's a quiet private person who usually keeps everything to himself. He gave me permission to use his real name which is Timothy R. Reas. His rank was Spec 4."

Here's another Fort Lewis Army Base account:

"We marched out the day before and built a three-rope bridge for the Rangers. It was in the training area Northwest of the old C5 mockup or training aircraft. It was oddly clear and the moon was bright. A fellow soldier and I were sitting in a foxhole around 4:00 a.m. in the morning when my buddy suddenly exclaimed, "What the hell is that?" When I looked directly in front about 25 yards I witnessed something that scared me. It was a human form, 7-8 feet tall walking with a slight hunch about the shoulder andmaking a low grunting noise. This thing was just unbelievable. There was a slight musky odor but not too bad. It smelled like a wet dog.

Anyway, my friend and I told our story to our squad leader and he just laughed. He spoke to our first sergeant and we were known as 'The Two Bigfoot Hunters' after that. We wouldn't mention it anymore. But listen up folks, there are things out there on the base that are unimaginable. I always said that I would have I would have to see it to believe it. Well, I saw it!"

CHARRED BLACK HUMANOID: Terrified Witness Asks, 'WHAT IS IN MY WOODS?'

The witness moves into a new rural home in the U.S. Northeast. After a few months of exploring the nearby woods, he discovers that a horrifying being is roaming the area!

I received the following account:

"It started out a few months ago when we moved into our new home in the U.S. Northeast. I grew up in a rural community, but there were plenty of neighbors, and mostly fields around. No woods. Given that I am the youngest child, my parents waited until I was done with high school to move, to not affect my already established life.

Although we had always lived in a small, rural community, my parents were ready for something a little more secluded, something with a lot of acreage, woods, and a place to shoot.

They put my childhood home up on the market, and soon found their dream home, which is where I am currently, and desperately writing this story. The house and the property are beautiful. It’s a large, turn-of-the-century house facing 15 acres of land, the majority of which, are woods, and a nice half-acre pond. The best part, or so I thought, is that there are no neighbors within a mile of us.

At first, I really enjoyed it. Being out in the woods was very much a cathartic experience for me. It helped shed the stresses of school and studying. Being among the tall trees and the surrounding nature made all of my problems seem totally insignificant, so I made a habit of going on regular walks through the woods.

As the weeks went on, I started noticing strange things as I went on my walks. I would find partially eaten deer scattered along the leaf-littered ground, accompanied by a putrid, rotting smell, which I attributed to the carcass in front of me. At first, I thought nothing of it. “It was probably coyotes”, I would tell myself. Other than that, I thought nothing of it but started carrying a gun with me on my walks in case I encountered the animal that was responsible for the carnage I saw in front of me.

As the days went on, I started noticing more and more mutilated deer scattered across the floor of the woods, still accompanied by the rotting smell, which I again attributed to the animals.

If the increasing number of mutilations weren’t enough, I started to notice a change in the sounds coming out of the woods. What was once a cacophony of sounds was now mostly dead silence, minus the low, guttural growl that seemed to be becoming more prevalent, more pronounced, and more insidious each day.

By this point, I had stopped going on my little walks. Gun or no gun, I didn’t want to risk the chances of facing whatever was causing these events. That being said, my curiosity eventually got the best of me one night as I heard its growls. I decided that I was going to go get a trail cam, and set it up out in the woods the following day, in hopes of finally seeing what was out there.

The next evening, after work, I gathered up what little courage I had left, and, camera in hand, went walking out into the very woods I had promised myself I would stay out of.

I never did get to set up the trail cam. I lost it somewhere in the woods while I was in a panic, running for my life.

I made it about 100 yards past the tree lines into the woods, where I decided to stop and set up the camera. I thought it was a good place to set it up, and, quite frankly, I was too scared to go any further. After all, I wanted to spend as little time out there as possible given the ongoing events, and the fact that it would be dark soon didn’t help.

Already on edge, every creak of the wood, and every crunch in the leaves sent me into a panic. Rushing to set the camera up, I drop it, sending it to the leaf-ridden ground with a thud.

Murmuring under my breath, cursing myself for being out there, I bent down to pick the camera up, when I started to smell that putrid smell of rotting flesh again. I carefully looked around, checking my surroundings to see if anything was out there. I could feel something watching me, but I couldn’t see anything.

Just as I was finishing picking my supplies off of the ground, I heard that low, guttural growl again, as well as the snap of a branch to my right. I quickly turn, seeing a human-like creature standing there, staring at me. I was completely frozen with fear. It had human features: standing on two legs, and it had feet and hands. The two things that threw me off, however, were the fact that its skin was charred black, as if it had been burnt in a fire, and, most disturbingly, it had no upper or lower lips. Although mostly bald, a few thin, straggling hairs stuck every which way out of its scalp.

Its sharp teeth were hanging out like hypodermic needles. With the absence of lips, its raw, red gums hung out in the open. Thick strings of what appeared to be saliva dripped off of its chin in a persistent stream.

For one single, brief moment, the world around me seemed to stop. I quickly went through options on what to do. There were really only two viable options: either stay exactly how I was, and get attacked, and most likely killed by this thing, or I could get the hell out of there. I chose the latter.

I quickly scrambled to my feet, and ran as fast as I could, throwing my camera, in vain, at the creature behind me. In the chaos of what had just occurred, I found myself to be momentarily lost after running in what I thought was the right direction for what felt like 20 minutes, but I’m sure was only 30 seconds. Looking around and not seeing the spawn of hell that I had just encountered, I stopped to collect myself, and try to find the way back to the house.

I finally decided on the general direction in which I should head, when I heard a commotion that almost sounded like a horse pounding its hooves on the dirt. I looked behind me and saw that thing, whatever it was, running at me on all fours, mucous-like spit flying out of the corners of its mouth, like a rabid dog.

I ran as quickly as I possibly could without daring to look behind me. Although I would not look at it, I could hear it galloping behind me and smell its rotted flesh.

Tears ran down my eyes, as I thought that there was no way possible to make it out of the woods alive when I finally saw the lights of my house out of the clearing. Using what little adrenalin I had left to sprint the 200 yards or so to my back porch, I quickly opened the door and slammed it shut, not daring to look out the window.

It’s been about a month now since that happened. I haven’t told anyone, and I will not dare to go back out in those woods. I’ve been doing a lot of research to see if I could find any clues as to what that thing might have been. I’ve exhausted myself, but I think I may have come to a conclusion. The closest thing I could find was possibly a skinwalker. I know my sighting doesn’t entirely match up with the stories I’ve heard, but it’s the closest thing I’ve found." ST

NOTE: The witness only stated that they lived in the Northeast US. What did he encounter in the woods? Lon

PHANTOMS & MONSTERS: NEWS & UPDATES - BLUE GLOWING UAP ENTERS DELAWARE RIVER (VIDEO) - DID 'VAMPIRES' DRAIN THE BLOOD FROM GHOSTHUNTER? - SCIENTISTS BAFFLED BY DISCOVERY OF GIANT HUMAN SKELETONS!

BLUE GLOWING UAP ENTERS DELAWARE RIVER (VIDEO)

Witnesses managed to capture the spectacle on film as the mysterious object slowly descended into the water.

Something strange was visible in the skies over Philadelphia earlier this week and people are still determining what it was, where it had come from, or who was responsible for putting it there.

Resembling a string of blue lights floating eerily in the heavens, several bystanders captured the peculiar object on camera from different angles.

Particularly intriguing was footage of the object descending very slowly into the Delaware River waterfront with its blue lights illuminating the water as it approached the surface.

So what exactly could this object be? Continued reading at Strange glowing blue object descends into the river in Philadelphia

DID 'VAMPIRES' DRAIN THE BLOOD FROM GHOSTHUNTER?

The decomposing body of Auriane Nathalie Laisne, from France, was found by a hiker on April 6 at the deconsecrated church in northern Italy’s Aosta Valley - she had been drained of blood

A 22-year-old woman who was found with the blood drained from her body in an abandoned church had been “looking for a haunted house” containing ghosts before she died.

Auriane Nathalie Laisne, from France, and a male friend were seen in the days before her death “dressed like vampires,” a witness said. Police have said they thought she may have been attempting to carry out a TikTok stunt as part of a ghost-hunting competition currently underway in France on the social media platform.

SCIENTISTS BAFFLED BY DISCOVERY OF GIANT HUMAN SKELETONS!

A series of mysterious giant skeletons up to 10 feet tall reportedly discovered in and around Nevada caves last century — dubbed the “Giants of Lovelock” — are still baffling scientists decades later.

The claims about supersized humans who roamed the area around Lovelock, a remote town 90 miles northeast of Reno, thousands of years ago are rooted in Native American lore, which tells of fierce, redheaded, pale-skinned giants who arrived from Central America by boat and attacked local tribes.

After years of war, the foreign invaders were chased into a cave and slaughtered en masse, according to stories passed down by the indigenous Paiute people.

Experts believe the tale of the giant warriors’ violent extermination is likely a legend, but reports of discoveries made in the area of Lovelock decades ago have continued to raise many unanswered questions.

The extraordinary find was mentioned in a 1935 biography of mining engineer John T. Reid, but no evidence proving the existence of the gargantuan remains ever materialized, reported the magazine Archaeology World.

Multiple WINGED HUMANOID SIGHTINGS Reported in Orizaba, Veracruz, Mexico

A series of winged humanoid sighting reports were made to the local news media in January 2003 in Orizaba, Veracruz, Mexico. The being, for the most part, was described as 'hairy.'

Location / Date: Orizaba, Veracruz, Mexico - January 2003 - various reports and times:

"Delfino Garcia Zarate was at his post as a security guard at the Technical Secondary School #98 Mariano Escobedo and was making the rounds in the patio area when he heard a strong sound resembling a bird moving its wings at a very high rate of speed. Curious he looked up in the direction from which the sound originated and was able to see a hairy man-like figure with two huge dark wings. Terrified he ran into the school and hid in one of the schoolrooms until the morning.

Around the same time, a woman living in the Unidad Puerta Grande suburb was out on her back patio washing some dishes when she also heard a loud thrashing sound overhead. At first, she thought it could have been an eagle and looked up but was surprised to see a hairy man-like figure floating overhead on a pair of huge wings. Terrified she also ran into the house.

Also around the same time in the Cocolapam suburb, a man and his son were repairing the TV antenna on their roof when they noticed a winged creature, gray and hairy in appearance that was approaching their location from a northerly direction. The winged humanoid glided on a pair of huge wings and quickly disappeared from sight.

Another woman reported being awake around 3 am and taking a shower when she looked out the bathroom window in the direction of nearby Cerro De Escamela and was surprised to see a huge winged dark creature resembling some type of prehistoric being gliding slowly over the area.

Others in nearby Cerro del Borrego have seen a similar winged creature."

NOTE: There was a similar sighting in the same general area on January 14, 2006 - On a foggy cold night several witnesses reported seeing a very tall humanoid figure at least 3m in height, bright white in color, floating very quickly above a field. It moved quickly behind a light pole and disappeared. The witnesses attempted to videotape the entity but nothing came out on the video. The same or similar figure was seen on a football field by other witnesses and the Ortiz brothers. UFOs were also reported in the same area. Lon

TIME SLIP? Old Stone Public House in a Staffordshire Woods

A group of teen friends are exploring a wooded area in Staffordshire, England when they come upon an old stone public house with a thatched roof. After that, things get interesting.

A reader forwarded the following account:

"I was 15 and living in a small town in Staffordshire, England. It was a sunny and warm Sunday afternoon. With nothing much to do, my girlfriend and two neighbour boys, a couple of years older than we were, decided to go for a walk (No romance, just friends). We walked for a few miles along the river bank and we were feeling jolly but soon felt rather hot and thirsty. We came to a small wooded area and decided to explore that in the coolth of the trees.

We came out of the woods into a clearing where there was an old stone public house. Low roofed, and thatched, which was unusual where we lived. It had a wooden bench outside. We sat there for a few minutes, counted our pennies, and found that we could go in and get a drink of some sort. The boys decided on beer, so in we went.

I remember vividly the wood-planked floor, the small-paned windows with sunlight streaming through, and lots of dust motes in the air, which gave the interior a mist-like greenish atmosphere.

I also remember that two men were sitting on a crude bench beside a thick wooden table. One old man with a pipe was sitting by a huge fireplace with a roaring fire, I thought it odd that there would be a fire on so warm a day.

The boys went to the bar and asked for a beer and lemonade. The barman just stared at them as if they were speaking a foreign language. He just stood with his mouth open holding a metal tankard in his hand and not moving.

The boys looked around and one of them pointed to a small cask at the bar. "Can we have 4 ciders then please?" he said.

The barman seemed dazed or ill, we didn't know which, but he took 4 battered tin pots down from a hook above his head and poured out the cider. One of the boys asked how much. The barman shook his head and waved us away.

We quickly drank the cider, it was very strong, and no doubt illegal for us. But we put the cups on the bar, said thank you, and left.

The other men who were there never looked at us nor made eye contact. The whole place was very basic, and quaint, but we were in rural England after all. I can't remember there being a name on the pub. It was really only one or two small rooms, with a low roof, large oak beams, 2 windows, and a door. We felt refreshed and we made our way back home.

The following week, again it was a lovely summer's day and we were playing a ball game, when we thought we would go for another walk, and have some illicit cider. Off we went. We walked for miles almost to the next town, but we found neither the small wood nor the little pub. We searched the area for several weekends until it was time to go back to school. We never even found any ruins or stones or stumps to show that there had once been a wood or a pub.

I even went to the library to see if there was anything like that on old maps, but I never found a thing. So where had we been that sunny, Sunday afternoon? We'll never know. This was 45 years ago, and I've never told anyone about this before. Sincerely, ML"

NOTE: Is it possible that this event was the result of a 'time slip?' Did these kids pass through a wormhole or portal, and 'time travel' to an earlier era? Intriguing story. Lon

Possible BIGFOOT Pelts Boaters With Rocks, Followed by UFO Sighting in the Dismal Swamp Canal

A father and son are boating in the Dismal Swamp Canal, Virginia when they are pelted by rocks by an unknown being. This is later followed by a triangular UFO sighting.

The following account was forwarded to me:

"This is the first time I've mentioned this other than to my close friends and family, and it took place in the Dismal Swamp Canal heading to the Lake Drummond Reserve just outside of North Carolina heading into Virginia. I can not verify that it was a Bigfoot encounter because my son or I did not see what was harassing us. What we did experience however I still can not find any other plausible explanation for. The first strange occurrence happened right around the historical Cornland School and increased to constant rock throwing, and pacing on both banks almost as soon as we entered the feeder ditch while we were rowing a raft toward Lake Drummond to camp in the reserve.

I continued towards our planned destination despite the rocks getting closer the further we rowed. I only turned around after we heard something get in the water and we could hear it slowly moving toward us. I fired a rifle shot in that direction and we heard it exit the canal and run through what looked like a clearing given the low light. We then heard what sounded like a conversation between a man and a woman but we couldn't make out any words or language. But we were both certain we heard a man and woman talking, that sounded like a couple in their 20s. Once we had reached the exact point it began, exiting the ditch back into the main canal it had ended along with the pacing on either side of us.

Now I've read reports and heard stories of UFO sightings coinciding and being connected to Bigfoot encounters but never thought that this connection was probable and personally believed it was just added into some stories as a way to mock Bigfoot believers. But as we were rowing to the nearest boat ramp which was Ballahack boat launch, I was looking straight up into the sky, seeing an object flying with my 1st thought being, "Now why doesn't that plane have his NAV lights on?". It took me a few seconds to realize what I was seeing was a triangular craft that itself looked like it was dully illuminated with 3 brighter lights also in the triangle pattern. I said to my son, without ever looking away to know what he was looking at "Hey, do you see that?" His instant reply was "Yes." This was immediately followed by the fear and stress he was holding in from the odd encounter minutes earlier sent him into an emotional panic. But if you would like to know the exact times, areas, and all the details that occurred throughout the night I would be glad to help." O

WHAT WAS IT? First Nations Man Encounters Horrid MANIFESTING ENTITY!

A First Nations man recalls his experience with a manifestation while camping in the Northern Canadian wilderness. He was told that it was a 'wendigo.' Or maybe it was a malevolent spirit?

The following account was forwarded to me:

"I wasn't sure if I should share this story with anyone outside of my small circle of people that were there. but I want to share my experience in hopes that it saves someone’s life or gives an understanding of what someone else has experienced.

It was late Fall of 2010 in northern Canada I went deep into the wilderness with my father and my eldest brother to hunt for moose. We left in the early morning, just before sunrise trying to cover as much distance as possible before nightfall.

We traveled winding rivers and had to repeatedly portage over rapids all day, we decided to set up camp just over halfway to our destination. My father figured that we’d make the rest of the journey tomorrow. Well, when everyone bedded down for the night I decided to go grab some firewood and relieve myself down by the bank of the river, just out of reach of the light from the campfire.

Out from the tree line (about 15 yards away), I could hear rustling in the bushes, I watched the area where I heard the noise and focused on that spot. I felt kind of funny (dizzy/lightheaded) and I could smell this putrid odor, like old milk or rotten food. Then I saw the trees start to morph and move ever so slightly and began to take the shape of a head and slight facial features.

My eyes began to adjust to the darkness and along the tree line, I could hear this voice coming from there. I recognized it, the voice sounded like one of my relatives who had recently passed. The face took the shape of my relative. “Hello,” they said, “I’ve missed you, come see me.” I smiled and stepped forward a bit but stopped to analyze the situation. My relative's face stopped smiling and became emotionless, the skin began to turn pale and peel away. Chunks of flesh from their cheeks began to fall away and I felt shock and fear overwhelm my body. I couldn’t make sense of it at all so I started to back away and make my way to camp, I didn’t realize at the time that I had been walking towards the voice and I was further away from the firelight.

The voice became angry and began shouting at me to “come here” so I turned to run away but as I looked back one more time I saw the most disgusting thing I had ever seen, it was rotting flesh on gnawed bone, caved in eyes and a hollow chest cavity, this humanoid creature was tall and super thin.

I ran as fast as I could, trying to yell for help but the fear made my voice quiet and raspy, I ran along the river bank and I could hear the heavy breaths and the stomping feet from this thing right behind me, I made it onto the top of the river bank but it grabbed a hold of my leg as I jumped up. I gripped and tore the grass trying to lift myself and yelled as loud as I could then finally my voice came back and I yelled, “Someone has my leg!” My brother woke up and ran over to where I was then he pulled me up and took me over to the fire.

I was terrified, trying to explain what I saw and that it looked like my relative but not. I was trying to convince them that I wasn’t seeing things but my brother nodded his head and said “I saw it too, I know.” That solidified it, he acknowledged that it was real. We stayed up all night after that, rifles loaded and close by, we packed up when the sun was coming up and went back home. We haven’t shared that story with anyone out of fear of being labeled as crazy or liars.

I’ve had nightmares and couldn’t sleep for months afterward, I would see things/dark figures looking into my window or hear whispers when I was walking home at night. Eventually, I saw this dark figure daily, I went to medicine men/shamans for help but I’ve learned that the ceremonies only relieve it temporarily. Friends have given me everything from “protection pouches” to certain crystals.

I found out that there’s a strong possibility that I encountered a “wendigo.” I learned that if you encounter one and survive, it attaches itself to you like a parasite. I learned that it could only do this if it touched you, which it did. Ever since that night, I’ve been on edge when I enter any forest or wooded area, which sucks because I loved being outdoors / hunting and in nature. Now I always feel like I need to keep my back against something when I’m out in the wild..

Anyways, make your own conclusions about this. I’ve paid a price for being an ignorant child to the stories of old. They are real, I can attest to that" B
