Throughout human history, there have been stories of mysterious figures who appear at the precise moment of crisis—only to vanish without a trace. Are these fleeting presences guardian angels? Celestial messengers? Or are they something else entirely, operating just beyond the veil of our understanding? In this deeply compelling episode of Phantoms & Monsters Radio, we explore a series of firsthand accounts that leave divine intervention seemingly undeniable.
From near-death rescues to comforting strangers who shift the course of a person's life, tonight’s broadcast features powerful testimonies that challenge our perception of reality. A six-year-old nearly drowns in a hotel hot tub—only to be pulled to safety by a silent, smiling old man who vanishes moments later. A nurse dressed in white disappears after tending to a dying motorcyclist. And a traumatized survivor of human trafficking is gently lifted from the brink of suicide by a loving, disembodied voice that offers purpose and peace.
We’ll also explore how these phenomena blur the lines between religious experiences and extraterrestrial encounters. One experiencer recounts a failed abduction halted by a booming voice of warning—an act of divine protection. Another recalls a UFO event that left their uncle transformed and spiritually awakened. Are these messengers truly "angels," or are they part of a larger cosmic intelligence that intervenes during moments of crisis and transformation?
Join us as we delve into cases that suggest we are not alone—even in our darkest hour. Whether these beings are divine emissaries, higher-dimensional guides, or alien watchers, their presence leaves an undeniable imprint. These encounters remind us that in times of despair, help may arrive in the most unexpected forms.

7:18

7:23
sometime early fall. So, uh, but I I'll keep everybody updated on it.
7:31
So, this first account, the witness states high. I've only shared this with
7:37
a few people. It's one of my earliest memories. I was about six years old when this happened. I was on vacation at the
7:45
Edgewater Hotel in Gatlinburgg, Tennessee with my family. We were enjoying the indoor hot tub and
7:53
nearby was a swimming pool with hotel rooms lining the area next to it. Now my
7:59
parents needed to go to our room which was about a 15-second walk away. So they left me alone in the hot tub. I was the
8:06
only one in the entire indoor pool area. I was having fun in the hot tub and
8:11
decided to walk around it or walk around in it. As I moved towards the middle, my
8:18
feet slipped and I discovered that I was in much deeper than I thought. I sank to
8:23
the bottom and for some reason couldn't get a foothold. I started to panic, flailing and trying to reach the
8:30
surface, but my feet kept slipping out from under me. Soon, I reached the point
8:35
where I just couldn't hold my breath any longer. This might sound crazy, but I vividly
8:41
remember inhaling water, drawing a half breath of it into my lungs. I can still
8:46
recall the sensation of water entering my lungs, although I it didn't cause me any pain. In that moment, I realized I
8:54
was about to drown. And suddenly, I felt a hand grab mine and pull me out of the
9:00
water. When I looked up, I saw an old man smiling at me. I stared at him in
9:06
shock for several seconds, speechless before managing to say thank you. He
9:11
continued to smile, never saying a word. I ran to the hotel to find my parents,
9:17
who were arguing about something. I tried to tell them what had just happened, but they wouldn't let me
9:22
speak. Then I ran back outside to look for the man who saved me, but I couldn't find him. I even went to the reception
9:30
desk and asked if anyone had seen the old man pass by, but no one had. At that
9:36
point, I realized it was an angel who had saved me. I don't know how my
9:41
six-year-old brain understood this, but I firmly believe it was truly an angel and not just a person.
9:52
Now, this next account, the witness states, now the following story is the following is a story that happened to me
9:58
in the 1980s. It took place in 1987 on the east side of St. Paul, Minnesota at the
10:04
intersection of Bradley Street and Maryland Avenue. It was approximately 11
10:09
p.m. and I was lying on the couch when I heard a loud crash.
10:15
I ran outside to see the extent of the accident. When I reached the scene, I saw I saw that a motorcycle had collided
10:22
with a car and was turning on to Marilyn Avenue. The driver and the passenger of the bike
10:27
had been thrown over the vehicle. The driver landed on the street with his head up against the curb while the
10:33
passenger was ejected onto the grass of the boulevard. I was the first person at the scene
10:40
except for a nurse dressed entirely in white who had already attended to the
10:45
motorcycle driver. She looked at me and said, "I have this one. You take care of the other." I then
10:53
went over to the passenger who had landed on the grass. The boy's hand was severely injured and he was in shock but
10:59
conscious. I applied pressure to his hand which was bleeding profusely while
11:05
I kept an eye on the nurse who was still focused on the driver.
11:10
Within a few minutes, others began to arrive, including a police officer. When the officer arrived, he went to the boy
11:16
who had his head up against the curb and spoke with the nurse attending to him.
11:21
He then approached me and asked about the condition of the boy I was with. After looking at him, he instructed me
11:28
to maintain pressure on the cut and to keep talking to him to keep him awake.
11:34
He then returned to the nurse who was caring for the other boy. Now, at this point, I could hear an
11:40
ambulance approaching in the background. The policeman came back over to me and
11:46
expressed his belief that the other boy might not survive. He asked me again how the boy I was with was doing and I
11:53
informed him that he was okay for now but showing signs of shock as he was shaking.
11:58
The officer then went to meet the ambulance crew. They first examined the severely injured boy and then returned
12:05
to inquire about the one I was helping. The policeman again asked if I had seen
12:10
where the nurse had gone gone. Unfortunately, I hadn't. Now, by this
12:15
time, the paramedic had arrived and taken over for me. The policeman was
12:20
asking the crowd if anyone had seen where the nurse had disappeared. He returned to me, took down my
12:26
information, asked again about the nurse. I told him I had spoken with her, but no one else seemed to know where she
12:33
had gone. As it as if she had just vanished. Another motorcyclist had been
12:39
with them and I ended up giving him a ride to pick up the injured boy's mother and drive him back to the hospital.
12:46
After that, I went back home. Sadly, the motorcycle rider or driver was
12:51
pronounced dead at the hospital. Was the nurse and angel coming to take someone
12:56
who was passing?
13:02
This next account, the witness states, "In 2007, when I was 15, I lived in Phoenix, Arizona." "One night, the news
13:10
instructed everyone to go outside and look at the colorful orbs in the sky.
13:15
So, my sister, Dad, and I went outside to see these orbs. It was reminiscent of
13:20
the Phoenix Lights event, which, if you're familiar, was a series of widely reported UFO sightings observed in the
13:27
skies over Arizona and Nevada in March 13, 1997.
13:32
We took our digital camera and began taking photos of these UFOs which ex
13:38
displayed a range of colors, including blue, green, pink, and orange. They were V-shaped and flew in formation
13:45
like geese. We watched this phenomena alongside our neighbors, and everyone was outside
13:51
looking at the sky. This typically excited me because my family had a keen interest in UFO and aliens. However,
13:58
after a few minutes of looking up, I suddenly felt exhausted as if someone had given me a sleeping pill. I told my
14:06
dad and sister that I wanted to go lie down in bed, and they didn't think anything of it. So, they stayed outside
14:11
to watch the UFOs. I lay flat on my back, comfortable, and
14:16
in that position, I could see the colorful orbs flying around through a slit in my window blinds.
14:23
I felt comforted by their presence and fell asleep instantly. This was unusual for me. Usually takes
14:30
me about 15 to 20 minutes to fall asleep, but this time I was out as soon as I closed my eyes.
14:37
Then my attempted abduction began. I will never forget it. I found myself
14:44
in a translike state enveloped by overwhelming fe feeling of calm.
14:51
I was fully aware yet somehow not completely conscious and couldn't move at all.
14:57
I felt paralyzed, but it didn't bother me because of the serenity I was experiencing.
15:03
Whatever was happening started to lift me out of the bed. And I felt a strong gravitational pull
15:09
from above. I was entirely at peace and accepted that I was being taken. I was
15:16
being slowly lifted just halfway into the sky, pulled by a beam of blue light as I neared the bright white light of
15:24
the UFO above. Then suddenly I heard a very stern and
15:29
angry voice yelling, "No, no, no, no." This was a voice I had never heard
15:36
before, and I never heard it since. The intensity and certainness of the voice scared me to my core. In an instant, I
15:44
snapped out of the trance, and I fell back onto my bed, wide awake, as if someone had dropped me from the sky.
15:51
At that moment, I realized that whoever or whatever had been screaming was trying to protect me. I was filled with
15:58
fear, shock, and terror, and I burst into tears, unable to comprehend what had just happened.
16:04
I ran into my dad's room, shaking and crying, trying to explain my experience. To my surprise, he wasn't alarmed or
16:11
overly concerned. He calmed me down, assuring me that everything would be okay and that strange things happen
16:17
sometimes. He suggested that I pray and thank whoever had woken me up to put me
16:22
back in bed, saying it was the best to call it a night.
16:27
Since that night, I have never had another experience or abduction. To me,
16:32
this experience suggestion that there are forces that are much higher intelligence than ours and are extremely
16:39
actively experimenting on us, manipulating our minds and bodies for their purposes.
16:45
I genuinely believe in angels and God and I think a guardian angel was watching over me disapproving of the
16:51
attempt to drug me and take me away. Its anger was palpable. Anyway, that's my
16:58
story.
17:03
So, in this next account, the witness states, "In August 2023, my grandmother
17:09
suffered a severe stroke. recovery looked bleak, but unexpectedly she made
17:15
significant progress in regaining her mobility and speech. However, during the follow-up testing
17:21
and scans, lymphoma was discovered in her brain and a CNS lymphoma was confirmed.
17:27
Within days, she gained treatment and just weeks later, she was awaiting a hospice bed.
17:34
Given the East Coast weather, by November, we had experienced a decent amount of snow. My grandfather was doing
17:40
everything he could at their home between hospice visits and overnight stays.
17:46
After a family visit to the hospice, he shared an astonishing story what had
17:51
happened to him. Grandpa mentioned that he was bored and wanted to work on the snow outside
17:58
despite already having scheduled snow removal services.
18:03
As a as a stubborn old man, he preferred to do things his way. He worked on
18:08
clearing the driveway, but as the snow continued to fall and turn icy, he started to feel tired.
18:14
He turned off the snow blower and went back into the garage to grab a bucket of salt for the men who would become to
18:20
finish the job. Now, in the seconds it took him to get the rock salt and turned back around, a
18:27
man's voice, he heard a man's voice calling, "Hey, excuse me, sir." multiple
18:32
times. He walked down the driveway and saw a single man holding a shovel with
18:37
no work truck or car in sight. The man asked how grandpa was doing and what he
18:44
needed. He insisted on shoveling for him, telling my grandfather he needed to rest and that it would be no problem to
18:51
clear the driveway. The man's kindness took my grandfather back. But eventually, after some
18:56
persuasion, he let him, thinking the man would he let him help, thinking the man would quit or short time due to the cold
19:04
in the windchill. Stunned by the man's generosity, Grandpa
19:10
hurried inside to get his wallet, wanting to show his gratitude to ensure the man could get lunch afterwards.
19:17
The man had never mentioned money. However, when grandpa returned outside just 5 minutes later, he found the
19:23
driveway finish shoveled and salted, making it walkable. The man was nowhere
19:28
to be seen. My grandfather went to the curb to wave him down, hoping that he
19:34
had been walking by, but he had vanished entirely. He even looked for tire tracks in the
19:39
street and saw nothing. He had just disappeared, he told us, visibly stunned. We were all at a loss for a
19:46
reasonable explanation for what had happened. My grandparents lived in a small
19:51
neighborhood where nearly the entire block consisted of elderly couples and everyone knew each other.
19:59
There were rarely any children playing outside. Halloween was just another day with no trick-or-treaters. Therefore,
20:04
there were no people under the age of 60 in the area and certainly no kids.
20:10
I mention this because it feels unlikely that anyone in the neighborhood could have con have a connection with this
20:16
man. There were no signs of any vehicles and grandpa noted that there were barely any any footprints in the snow. The man
20:22
had simply appeared and then vanished. As I mentioned earlier, my grandmother
20:28
was actively dying in hospice at the time. My grandpa liked to be alone in
20:33
his house sometimes, often playfully kicking us out. So, we weren't there around the clock until shortly after
20:39
this event and through my grandmother's passing. I understand that he was experiencing
20:45
immense stress, immense stress and and grief during this time, but I find it hard to believe this encounter was just
20:51
a daydream or trick of his mind. To this day, he has never seen the man
20:57
again. He struggles to remember a detailed description except to say the man was immaculate and strong looking,
21:03
just wearing a single jacket in that weather. However, he is sure that if he
21:09
had seen him again, he'd recognize him immediately. Now, my grandmother passed away a few
21:14
weeks after this encounter, and since then, my grandfather has asked other neighbors about the man, but no one
21:19
knows who he's talking about. Nobody in the area has mentioned having visitors who came to clear out snow.
21:28
I have a feeling that this may have been a safe encounter with an angel or something similar. It's difficult to
21:34
think deeply about this because my grief is still fresh and makes me emotional.
21:39
I would love any insight from anyone who may be better equipped to analyze this or who knows of a similar experience.
21:50
Now, this next account, the witness states, "Hello, Lon. I don't even know
21:56
where to begin. Over the years, I have filled many personal journals to understand my situation.
22:02
I was barely 19 when I escaped from being locked up by a sadist who
22:08
trafficked me the entire time. I didn't know how to process what had
22:13
gone what I had gone through and my PTSD was overwhelming.
22:18
I couldn't tell my family what had happened because of the shame I felt. Raised in a Catholic environment, I
22:24
believed I was to blame for everything. My parents couldn't understand
22:30
what was wrong with me either or I didn't make any effort to try. Instead,
22:35
I was the scapegoat for everything that went wrong, leading to a constant clash of wills between them and me.
22:43
So, one night I drove out to the lake just outside of town. I intended to jump
22:48
off the jetty into the rocks in freezing water. All I could feel inside was pain,
22:54
and I wanted it to end. Sleep was elusive as nightmares of what had just happened tormented me.
23:02
The smells, sounds, and touch of these experiences were overwhelming and I wished for everything to cease.
23:08
I don't know how long I sat there willing myself to end everything finally. It was cold and raining and I
23:15
was soaked from head to toe. Finally, with tears streaming down my face, mingling with the rain, I jumped. Only I
23:23
didn't land. I found myself floating in midair,
23:28
but I was no longer cold, wet, or afraid. At first, I thought I was dead
23:33
because it felt warm and bright, and it was no pain or fear.
23:38
As I looked around, confused, I heard a voice in my mind. It was like a swirling sound of music and joy. There were no
23:46
words spoken aloud. Instead, I felt the message in my heart. The voice told me that everything was
23:52
going to be okay, but it wasn't yet my time. It showed me images of my life and
23:58
conveyed that I had work to do. Nothing it showed made me sense at any
24:04
time. Nothing it showed me made any sense at the time, but it felt undeniably correct.
24:11
The voice explained that while my life had been painful up to that point, my suffering had ended. It took my pain and
24:18
confusion, replaced them with love and understanding. I was told my life would not be easy,
24:24
but that it was necessary to fulfill my purpose. I wasn't given specific details
24:30
about my mission, only that I would know what to do when I was needed.
24:37
It felt as though I had been wrapped in love and light for hours, but it was only a few minutes.
24:45
When I got back into my car, my body and clothes were dry and my cheeks were flushed. I was no longer cold, and I
24:51
finally felt free from the burning pain and anger I had been dealing with. I
24:56
vowed to remain open to any messages and to follow the guidance that I had received.
25:03
It has been 27 years since that moment, and I know that I have been acting as if I was asked.
25:10
I've never It's never anything complicated. Sometimes it's just having a conversation with someone. Other times
25:17
I have found myself helping or befriending someone in need. I'm never told directly what to do. Instead, it's
25:24
more of a feeling guiding me. I have never encountered anyone else who has experienced something like this.
25:39
Now, this next witness states, "This story takes place in 1909 when my greatgrandfather, Harley, was just 7
25:46
years old. He lived deep in the main woods with his parents and two siblings. Harley's
25:53
father was away for a couple of weeks for work, and winter was just beginning. Harley helped his mother take care of
25:58
the family home and his younger siblings. One day while they were hanging laundry
26:05
outside in Nicole, my mother fell ill and fainted upon entering the house,
26:10
Harley did his best to care for her, but after a couple of days, it seemed that the entire family had fallen very sick,
26:17
except for him. He recalled his mother telling him that he needed to journey into town to fetch
26:23
a doctor. The walk was about 10 miles, and at only seven years old, he had to
26:28
be strong and take on the responsibilities of the man of house. In his father's absence, he bundled himself
26:34
up and set out early in the morning. The weather was frigid, and soon it began to
26:40
snow. Harley started to doubt his ability to make the journey. He
26:45
described how the snow blinded him and how his feet were so frozen it became difficult to keep going. Suddenly, a
26:52
friendly dog approached him, followed by a man. Relief washed over him. The man
26:59
was handsome and wore a strange coat that didn't seem warm enough. It appeared to be made of leather with fur
27:04
around the collar. The stranger introduced himself as Finn and said that
27:10
he was going the same way. They began walking side by side through the storm
27:15
accompanied by Finn's dog. Now, though Harley couldn't remember the specifics of the conversation, he
27:22
recalled feeling warm, safe, and full of energy as they walked.
27:27
The journey flew by, and as they approached the small town, Harley looked around and noticed the dog was no longer
27:33
there. When he looked back at Finn, he had disappeared as well.
27:40
They were quite far from the woods with no apparent place for him to have gone. Confused, Harley soon found someone to
27:46
speak within within town. Unfortunately, due to the huge snowstorm, they couldn't venture back
27:52
out for a while. Tragically, my great grandmother's my
27:58
greatgrandfather's mothers and siblings passed away. However, the story doesn't end there. This twist has always
28:05
perplexed me, and I wish I had answers. Harley eventually married my greatg
28:10
grandmother Sarah and they named their firstborn son Finn in honor Haley's
28:15
Angel in the woods. Finn was a handsome man who became a pilot during his against his mother's
28:22
wishes. In 1941, he crashed his plane while flying solo.
28:28
My grandmother couldn't speak his name again until she was old and on her deathbed.
28:35
I saw an old photo of Finn in his leather bombing jacket with fur around the car, and I've always wondered if he
28:42
was the angel who saved my grandfather's life.

Now, this next witness states, "At around 5:26 p.m., a Vietnam veteran
29:00
accidentally discharged a 12-gauge shotgun, believing it was unloaded."
29:06
He says, "It hit me perfectly in the right knee and removed the lower part of my leg from the knee down." His
29:14
name is Ma Maynor and he recalled using his belt he managed to wrap the wound to
29:19
slow the blood flow while his friend picked him up on his back and carried him to a clearing under the power lines.
29:26
We finally reached the clearing when Joe laid me down and two people approached us. To this day, we don't know who they
29:33
were and where they came from. The man claimed to be a doctor and the woman said she was a registered nurse.
29:41
They had been bird watching nearby and heard all the yelling. We were two and a half miles from anything and nobody had
29:47
permission to be there. It's not something you'd expect during the opening day of gun season in Ohio.
29:55
Those two people came out of the woods and believe me, it was not easy walking there. It It's either straight up or
30:02
straight down with tons of green briars and honeysuckle thicket.
30:08
Now, Maynard believes what happened to him next to have been a miracle. He says, "While lying under the power line,
30:15
I died. I lost over 5.5 units of blood and
30:22
nobody at the scene could explain what happened afterward."
30:27
They said I stopped breathing and my eyes rolled back into my head. I died. I'm not sure what happened or how it
30:33
happened, but I remember looking down and seeing my body amidst all the commotion.
30:39
I suppose you could call it an out-of- body experience. I'm not sure. I can only share what I remember and what I
30:47
was told later. By that time, my parents, Sam and and Joe, were all there.
30:53
They said that those two helpers placed their hands on my chest. When they did, my eyes opened and I started breathing
31:01
again, but they didn't perform any chest compressions or CPR.
31:07
Now, Maynard's brother and mother drove to a nearby house to call for a Careflight helicopter. Despite being
31:13
gravely wounded, Maynard remember raising a fuss about his hat. The doctor
31:19
offered him his hat, which Maynard accepted and put on.
31:24
To this day, Maynard keeps that hat locked in a safe at home. I spent the He
31:29
says, "I spent the next year and a half in recovery. I have a leg without a knee. My right leg is fused straight and
31:37
I have 27 pins, 41 screws and a stainless steel rod from my groin to my ankle and I've undergone 57 surgery
31:44
because of one accident. But looking back, Mayor believes the two bling beings were assisting that assisted him
31:52
were actually angels.
31:58
Now, I uh I received this angel account from a woman who was very close to
32:03
ending her life. That was until she was approached by a stranger who comforted her and her life completely changed.
32:13
She tells me, "Hi, Lon. I read a few of your guardian angel stories and I eventually decided to write you. At one
32:20
time several years ago, I was utterly despondent. I had planned to jump off a bridge near where I live. I was dead set
32:28
on ending life. I was just out of energy and love. I had no more life to give, if that makes any
32:35
sense. It was right before Christmas and it was snowing. I stopped at a hotel near the
32:42
bridge to mooch off their Wi-Fi to finish my farewell note. I was just about done when my battery
32:48
died. Fine. I checked in the room to charge my laptop. As I waited, I began to feel hungry. I
32:56
felt burdened by the hunger, more annoyed than anything. So, I decided to get something to eat.
33:03
This hotel was in a small town and the only restaurant was right next door.
33:09
I was over and there was a close sign on the door, but the the lights were on and
33:14
I could hear people inside. So, I went in. The gray-haired man came up to the back
33:21
and told me that he and his employees were having a Christmas party, but their chef couldn't whi their chef couldn't
33:27
whip up anything. I go into the main dining room and wait around a while before getting up to grab
33:33
myself a beer. A large African-American man emerged from the kitchen asked me if
33:39
I'd like to eat. I tell him that a burger and fries would do or whatever is easiest for him. just I go sit in the
33:46
booth. Anyhow, he comes out of the kitchen with a burger, fries, another beer, and one
33:52
for himself. He promptly sits down and joins me. My thoughts for my farewell
33:58
farewell note are promptly pushed away as I began became annoyed by his presence.
34:04
He begins talking to me, telling me about his life, just feeling the silence, you know. Then he tells me that
34:12
what I'm about to do is a big mistake. If I don't care about living, why not do
34:18
what made me happy? Why not do all the things I had been meaning to do
34:24
um but put off for work instead of solving other people's problems? He said a lot of other things too, some
34:31
of which felt like he knew me and evoked a sense of foroding, but in a good way.
34:36
As if he sensed I would overcome all this suffering and lead a fulfilling life.
34:42
Now, by the end of the conversation, I was too exhausted to finish my note. I decided to finish it in the morning.
34:48
When I woke up, I decided to give myself one year. Just one year to try everything the man
34:55
suggested. I decided to do everything I could to be truly happy, to give all give my all to
35:02
the things I had been putting off. I decided to walk next door and see if I
35:07
could find him or at least leave him a note. When I walked in, no one knew who
35:13
I was talking about. There was no Christmas party. No black person had been there. And they closed at 5:00 p.m.
35:20
the previous evening due to the weather. I walked around stunned, but I could I
35:25
couldn't say surprised. The whole evening just seemed surreal. To this day, I have no idea who that man
35:32
was. I only know that I owe him my life. The changes I made that year following
35:38
my meeting with him eventually led to my meeting my husband and having my son.
35:43
We stopped there on a summer road trip this past year, and I cried when I realized how close I had become to
35:50
ending my life. I can't imagine not knowing my husband or son. I think of that man often and I
35:57
call him my angel. Frankly, I don't care if he is or not, but it always be an
36:04
angel that saved my life. I hope someday I can pass it on.
36:14
Now, this next witness tells me, "When I when my mom was 23 years old,
36:21
she faced an arous journey trying to conceive her first child, me. She had
36:28
recently experienced their third miscarriage a couple months prior and had been feeling quite depressed. One
36:34
day, she attended my cousin's first birthday party where her brother and his girlfriend showed up high in o op
36:40
opioids, leaving my mom to host the entire event." and ensure that my cousin was having a good time.
36:48
After the party, she reflected on how my cousin's mom had done drugs, smoked, and drank during her pregnancies, but still
36:54
had three healthy babies she hardly cared for. Meanwhile, my parents had
37:00
followed all the rules and made numerous sacrifices, yet they still couldn't conceive.
37:06
My mom left the party in tears, and after cleaning up, she recalled my grandmother. She called my grandmother
37:11
to pick up my cousin while his parents passed out. She started crying heavily
37:16
in the car. As she was driving, her car emitted a ding sound to indicate it was low on
37:23
gas, which puzzled her since her tank had been full before the party.
37:29
She pulled into a gas station owned by a family friend. After tidying herself up a bit to hide the evidence of her tears,
37:36
she went inside to prepay for gas. Outside the gas station, a man stood by
37:41
the door. She described as looking like a kindly grandfather from a Lifetime movie. Silver hair, well-dressed, deep
37:49
laugh lines, and a twinkle in his eye, reminiscent of Saint Nick. As soon as she exited her vehicle, he smiled wider
37:56
and stared at her as if he had been waiting for her. Before she reached him, he called out, "Please don't worry."
38:04
Confused, she stopped and looked around and realizing he was addressing her. she replied. "Oh, I'm not."
38:11
He frowned and insisted, "I'm serious. Don't worry. Everything happens when it's meant to.
38:18
It'll happen to you again." Fighting back tears and unsure of how to respond, she remained flabbergasted as
38:25
he pulled out of a pocket out a pocket watch on a chain, checked the time, and said, "In fact, it's already happening
38:31
for you, and you don't have anything to worry about this time. I hope you enjoy it." He then tapped the face of the
38:38
watch and concluded, "Looks like I got to run." before walking past her as he
38:43
entered the store. Inside, the store owner, Brenda, immediately asked, "Who was that guy?
38:50
He's been standing outside all morning and didn't have a car." They both turned to see where he had gone, but he had
38:57
vanished completely. A few weeks later, my mom discovered she was pregnant with me. She was convinced
39:05
that she had already conceived when the man told her it was already happening for her.
39:11
Once I was born and just a month or two old, my mom took me to see to show
39:16
Brenda at the gas station. As they approached the a group of four or five
39:22
kindly older people exited the store. They all cooed and awed over the baby.
39:27
And when they held the door open for her to push the store through, one of them casually remarked, "And you're giving
39:34
her as a lowly fitting name." My mom smiled, but she felt it was strange
39:40
because she hadn't shared my name or gender, although there may have been some pink blankets in the straw basket.
39:48
Still, she was certain she hadn't told them my name. When she mentioned it to Brenda, the store owner was baffled and
39:55
said that she hadn't been any customers or sales that morning and she couldn't understand who my mom was talking about.
40:03
My mom was convinced that those people were angels. I I like to remind her that
40:08
similar situations happened in the movie Rosemary's Baby. Little Brenda would jokingly say that
40:14
she kept keeping a bat behind the counter after all those old creepers were so interested in the baby just in
40:20
case. She would always say that kind of hinky stuff wasn't welcome in her store.
40:27
Strange occurrences like this have never happened before and after. So, they have become part of our family mythos.
40:36
Now, a a strange a excuse me, now a middle-aged woman, I have yet to become
40:42
a prophet or a demon or do anything of fundamental importance in my life.
40:47
I was it was just peculiar one-time occurrence that seemed to bring my mom
40:52
comfort during a challenging exhausting period of in her life and in my life.
41:02
Now this next account I got to ask, do some experiencers find
41:07
religion after UFO or alien encounters? This account may explain why specific
41:13
individuals feel that otherworldly encounter was divine.
41:19
The witness tells me I wanted to share an experience I had. It was November 1st, 1980, and we were out hunting
41:27
one night, standing at the edge of a hayfield near the woods. We released our dogs and they took off. My uncle and I
41:34
noticed a light in the sky moving in a triangular pattern. At each corner, the light changed color, and it was red at
41:41
one quarter, blue at the next, and white at the other, and orange at the last.
41:47
We watched it for about 10 minutes, and then it moved to the center of the triangle. Well, it was more like a
41:53
rectangle. A bolt came out of the sky and struck it, causing it to break into
41:59
four pieces and take off. When the bolt struck, it felt as if
42:04
electricity surged through us. All the hair stood up in our arms. I looked at my uncle and he said, "What in the world
42:10
was that?" He stood there completely stiff. His eyes glazed over entirely
42:16
black. I shook him and he fell over. When he got up, he was confused and
42:21
asked what had happened. He remembers nothing about it and to this day has no recollection of it.
42:28
It's strange because after the incident became very religious, almost fat fanatically so. He insists he remembers
42:35
nothing about the night. I asked him several times what he was thinking when he was standing there before he passed
42:41
out, but he says he has no idea. He doesn't remember seeing anything or
42:46
feeling anything. I suspect there were four UFOs present
42:52
and that the lightning bolt or energy beam was refueling them. They were positioned in that rectangle waiting for
42:59
refueling. As soon as the bolt struck, we felt it and suddenly four objects split apart and vanished in a blink of
43:06
an eye. Note, now I got to ask, could UFO instance
43:13
have a connection to blackeyed people? Is there some connection there? In the past, experience have shared that they
43:19
found religion after UFO and alien encounters. And uh many of these individuals report that alien beings,
43:26
particularly higher order aliens, uh told them that they are spiritually committed to a supreme energy.
43:34
Is this truly any different from how humans describe their spiritual beliefs?
43:39
What are your thoughts? That's it folks. Got any questions? Got
43:46
any comments? Let me know about them.
44:08
No questions, no comments.
44:24
Yeah, Chris Divine says, "I definitely believe in angels." And as most of you know who read,
44:30
you know, most of you you that know that read the the blog and know me. Uh yeah,
44:37
as Alexis Chast said, "Do you believe in angels?" Absolutely. I uh I've had a few
44:43
experiences over the time and I've seen a few things and um I've heard a lot of
44:49
very convincing stories over that period of time. And when I do um
44:57
when I do energy work and when I try to move on
45:06
energies from a location or from a person or someone who's been has an attachment, I use I use what I believe
45:12
are my angels and guides doing so. So um
45:20
yeah, I do believe in angels and I I believe there is something you know do I
45:25
believe in angels as in religious form? No. I I believe they may be closer to
45:30
other worldly beings or extraterrestrials.
45:35
Anything else folks?
46:03
Win nice $50. I want to thank you for super chat.
46:09
Absolutely. I do like sharing these stories. I really do. I mean, you know, I I hear a
46:16
lot of them occasionally and uh they seem to come at bunches, too, which
46:21
is kind of strange to me.
46:30
Real truth, what do you think about two sons being seen and videotaped?
46:36
I I have heard that phenomena before. I think what they call them, sun dogs or something to that effect.
46:43
Is it an optical illusion? Has something to do with um the lenses or I don't
46:49
really know. I I really can't answer that. But I have seen photographs of that. In fact, I've seen photographs of
46:55
three sons.
47:00
Grander 12. We were all just kind of enjoying the stories yet sounds very close to some
47:08
EPS that late 90s TV show Touched by an Angel.
47:14
Well, I honestly I never watched that show so I don't really know but uh some
47:20
people who have told me about it did seem like it's pretty close to that or
47:25
some of the story lines from that show.
47:33
Sir Wolf, have your guides ever made themselves known to you? Um,
47:40
that's kind of hard to describe. Yes. Have I communicated w with them?
47:49
Yeah, psychically possibly. Um,
47:57
but as as I'm doing work using them and moving
48:04
uh energy on to other levels, they become
48:10
more apparent to me. It's more of a mind's eye thing with me.
48:15
I I don't necessarily see them in a specific form, but I do feel them.
48:27
Uh Mara, do you associate spirit guides with angels? I I think there is a
48:32
connection. Um you know, I have heard a lot of people who who do this type of work
48:41
say they don't believe in spirit guides. I I think there are spirit guides. I don't think they're what we could
48:47
classify as angels. I think they're something different. I think they're more helpers than anything else.
48:53
Um, angels seem to be more connected to the person themselves
49:02
in my opinion. Um, I I know I have guardian angels. I know others who have.
49:09
I know people in my family who have. Um,
49:14
I I think most people usually have about two with them. I have known people have had one. And I know people have
49:20
multiples and they're not a lifetime thing with most people. They do change
49:25
up sometimes from what I've experienced.
49:33
Next question.
49:41
And if anybody asks if I'm religious, I'm not religious. None whatsoever. I mean, I I take I take it on a non
49:49
dogma, non-religious, uh, you know, level with with these
49:56
things. That's why I think they're very closely associated with extraterrestrials or
50:02
other worldly beings.
50:14
Anything else, folks?
50:22
Okay. Well, I want to thank each and all of you watching and chatting. If you donate, it's truly appreciated. Our um
