Hey folks, glad you joined us. This is Phantoms and Monsters Radio, where the
2:12
veil lifts one story at a time. If you're new here, welcome to the presentation.
2:18
Now tonight, from deep woods in Mississippi to the shadowed slopes of New Hampshire's White Mountains, people
2:26
continue to report encounters with strange beings that stalk, watch, and sometimes even follow their home. These
2:33
are not fleeting campfire tales, but detailed experiences from credible witnesses, ordinary individuals suddenly
2:39
thrust into extraordinary circumstances. From pale crawler-like creatures
2:45
crouched over carcasses to towering tall figures that leave behind only stench
2:51
and fear. The accounts echo a disturbing pattern. Something unknown is out there
2:57
and it's aware of us. So tonight we'll explore these chilling testimonies and consider the questions. Our question,
3:05
what happens when the unknown takes an interest in you?
3:11
So let's begin. Now, this first account, um, driving
3:17
home near, uh, midnight, a Mississippi man nearly struck a pale, hairless
3:23
creature, crouched over a mutilated carcass with neon green eyes locked on
3:29
him. The being disappeared into the woods, yet it still stalked his home from the shadows.
3:36
So, the witness tells me, "I live in a very rural town in Mississippi where the majority of everything is forest or
3:42
farms. My home is deep in the woodland area. It's almost like something out of
3:47
a horror movie. The old creepy house in the middle of the woods. Yep, that's my
3:52
place. Now, back when I first moved here, everything was normal. It It was a
3:58
quiet, peaceful house in the woods with the closest neighbors about 10 minutes down the road.
4:04
Nothing out of the ordinary or weird or but until one night I was driving home
4:09
from work and since it was nearly midnight, it was almost pitch black. I
4:15
was tired of driving and finally ready to get home to sleep. I let out a hearty yawn, closed my eyes
4:22
for a split second, and that was all it took for me to almost hit something. Not
4:28
even 10 feet in front of me set this hairless man dog looking creature. The
4:35
thing bloody and pale hovered hovering over the mutilated corpse of some animal.
4:42
I hope it was an animal at very least. But the thing slowly looked up at me,
4:47
staring directly into my face with its beady neon green eyes shining as the
4:54
headlights reflected off of them. Its jaw looked like almost it was almost unhinged, flaunting its numerous bloody
5:02
covered teeth. I was frozen with fear. What the hell was that thing? I honked
5:09
my horn trying to scare it off, but it didn't budge. It simply sat there. After
5:14
what feels like 30 minute staring contest, though it couldn't have it could have been more than two minutes,
5:20
the thing scured away, walking on all fours. I watched it disappear into the thick
5:27
mass of trees that matched the rest of the forest. Now, my eyes shifted it back and forth from the forest to the
5:32
carcass. I rubbed my hands over my eyes before continuing to drive. I still had
5:37
a few minutes to my house, so I didn't worry about that thing appearing in my yard.
5:43
I haven't seen it plainly in front of me since. That was about eight months ago, but I constantly feel as if I'm being
5:50
watched or followed. I did my own research. Apparently, this thing is called the crawler.
5:57
It's taking a liking to me, which scares me. I'm constantly seeing it from a distance out of the corner of my eyes.
6:05
Sometimes I see it for seconds at a time before it disappears into the woods again. I know it watches me when I
6:12
sleep. I had set up a camera watching for the unfortunate day when I'd wake up
6:17
and see it. That'll be the day when it finally strikes.
6:24
So, in this next account, a professional woman repeatedly sensed, smelled, and heard a towering figure lurking near her
6:31
home in New Hampshire. Security cameras flitch glitched. Offerings vanished in
6:38
her marine friends listen to the unearly sounds. Was it Bigfoot or something
6:44
darker? So, she writes, "I just came across your
6:50
website while I was doing research for a new book that I'm planning on writing. However, what I read on this website
6:56
that brought me to this email perfectly describes a creature I encountered in my backyard at my last residence in Cton,
7:04
New Hampshire, which happened last spring. However,
7:10
I hadn't moved since then and just settled in just two miles down the road and I'm now experienced the eerie
7:16
feelings and other strange occurrences. I had then yet haven't physically seen
7:22
it yet, but it has an odor really nasty, too. Please read this through it. It's not
7:29
for attention whatsoever, nor a wild imagination going wild. just a little
7:35
humor. But in all reality, this is a valid account that you or someone you know just might really be interested in
7:43
if you're a serious about the unknown creatures. Now, recounts of that night. It was
7:49
around midnight and I had just got home from visiting family and I was talking with a friend to let them know I was
7:55
okay when I saw something significant and wasn't sure what it was. However, I
8:01
ran into my house because I had this sick feeling among other emotions that I can't really describe.
8:08
My friend, who's a Marine, was concerned, so he stayed on the phone with me trying to calm my panic down.
8:14
However, it only escalated. It seemed to be outside my door, and when I went into
8:20
another room, it was outside my window there, too, as if it were stalking me.
8:25
This went on for a few hours. I tried to stay as quiet as possible and whispered when I talked to my friend. Whatever it
8:33
was, it had made an abode on the steep hillside behind my house deep in the
8:39
woods. Now, it used to be pine trees and appeared almost teepee like yet very sturdy when I checked it out the day
8:46
after the event and there was a stench that was worse than a wet dog. Whatever
8:51
this thing was, it was definitely not my imagination. Now, my friend could hear strange noises, grunts, and sharp
8:58
high-pitched sounds that neither he nor I could explain or ever experienced before.
9:04
I still don't know what it was. It stays in the shadows. My friend had advised me to leave a
9:10
peace offering of salt. So, I had taken his advice and put out a bowl of salt
9:16
filled thoroughly to the brim to try it out after dinner the next day.
9:22
Thing is though, the next night I smelled it first and there was space under the the main entrance door at the
9:29
rear of the house because it was an old farmhouse which in the winter I used to keep it covered to keep out the drafts.
9:36
I then heard the cracking of wood on the porch. It was I was so frightened that I had to I had hid in the most middle of
9:43
the rooms and stayed low and as still as possible. Still, whatever it was, it didn't stay
9:50
long. In the morning, the whole bowl was gone. Not knocked over, nothing. Just gone. No
9:56
salt, trail, nothing. I checked my security cameras and all I saw were blurred interruptions as if my system
10:03
was having technical issues, which never happens. Still, it was a newer camera
10:09
that I just put in earlier that day. Still, I had been slowly going through
10:14
two years of 247 footage from my older yet best IR night vision system.
10:23
However, I ran out of recording space because I was often on the road at the time, which made it tough to keep up and
10:30
save essential recordings. Also, I had moved down south of Boston, Massachusetts in June, and the system
10:37
was in storage. Since I moved just three weeks ago to the deeper wooded area by the river from where this incident
10:44
occurred, I plan to review all the footage and see my abnormalities I find as evidence to share with scientific
10:51
community. Now, the only description I can give despite its remaining in the shadows is it's at least 8 to nine feet
10:58
tall with a lean build, stands without much hunching, has dark fur all over, and it seems
11:05
intelligent and it smells. Since I have had this strange experience
11:10
or encounter with some of the unknown, I haven't spoken to anyone about it except my friend who thinks it's a Bigfoot out
11:17
of fear of ridicule and similar reactions. I don't have the psychological issues. Yet, I have talked
11:23
to a psychiatrist and a psychologist who have all said I am of sound mind and
11:28
have all sorts of testing along with PET scans to rule out any illness. Yet, I
11:34
swear I'm going crazy, but the specialists all say that it's normal. I do believe in the unknown because, as
11:41
you know, much of it is still out there either hiding or just hasn't been truly documented.
11:47
Also, I help others when they claim that they're being haunted. So, I to ensure that they're not afraid to live wherever
11:54
they are and feel secure in their homes, but that's another talk if you ever wish to discuss it further. Now, back to the
12:02
unknown creature or it since I moved to my new place, I have been here for
12:07
several weeks, but in the past few days, I have noticed that I'm being stalked through the woods. My family had come up
12:14
for the holiday weekend and they had seen the foul sickening and they had seen the foul stick sickening stench
12:20
which I had dismissed as a mouse that could have passed and they took like an
12:27
logic they they took it as a logical answer but the smell would linger and be constant if it were true and not at
12:34
night when it kept coming back. So whatever it is, it seems to have taken a
12:40
liking to me and knows I'm back again, which leads me to believe that it has an
12:46
excellent sense of smell, travels a lot, or both. I don't really know. However, if you
12:52
wish to investigate, please feel free to contact me at any time. Whatever this is, it's now out there again, watching
12:59
closely, making me the perfect bait for any investigation.
13:05
I really do wish that somehow someone who knows how to document well could
13:10
contact me that I it could be adequately documented and presented to the communities
13:15
showing that the truth of unknowns really does exist in our lifetime.
13:21
Thank you so much. You already have my return email. So please don't hesitate to contact me if you would like to
13:27
investigate or know someone who would. Also, please don't take this as false.
13:32
It's really true and I mentioned everything as accurately as possible. I
13:38
don't have the proper gear or manpower to document. So, I'm sharing my story because it really needs attention from
13:43
someone like you or others who, you know, in the scientific community. I
13:49
only know and have colleagues in space engineering or weather, etc. None of whom are really into cryptozoolology
13:56
or this type of unknown creature. Please give this some serious thought when contacting me and I beg you not to
14:03
discard this possibly best credible finding as rubbish. Also, should you
14:09
choose to investigate this, please, I don't want to be ridiculed, but I will be the best at helping to document and
14:15
lure this thing out with your help. Thank you again for taking the time to read this. The truth is really here.
14:22
Sincerely, and she gives her name. Now, I did contact the witness and I found
14:28
her to be pretty credible and well educated and professional. Um, the witness had lived both currently and
14:34
previously near the White Mountain National Forest, which has a well doumented history of unusual activity,
14:41
including a lot of Bigfoot activity. Uh, we're in the process of contacting a reliable investigator in the area. So,
14:48
um, hopefully we can get somebody to go out there. Uh I I did have one
14:54
investigator consider it. They haven't got back to me, but we'll see. And this is a fairly
14:59
recent encounter, so u we'll see what'll come up.
15:06
Now, this next account, exploring an abandoned furniture factory near St.
15:11
John's River, and that's in Florida. Three friends are stalked by something pale and fast. From grow words to rocks
15:19
hurled from rooftops, the presence followed them long into the night.
15:25
So the witness states, "In 2018, my boyfriend at the time, a friend, and I were walking near St. John's River in
15:31
the in our town in Florida. There isn't much to do in our city, unless you're into fishing. It was
15:38
getting late around 1000 p.m. when we decided to check out an abandoned furniture factory a few streets over.
15:46
Now, when we arrived, we tried the front doors to see if they were unlocked, but of course, they were locked. We then
15:52
walked around to the side where the factory had been partially demolished a few years ago. A low wall was still
15:59
standing, creating a fence-like barrier that we could have to climb over, or
16:04
would have to climb over. I leaned over the wall to see if we could walk through, but there was way too much
16:09
rubble and weeds in the way. We ultimately decide to leave and head back to our cars.
16:15
I was halfway to the sidewalk when I heard a deep growling hay
16:21
coming from the weed-filled area. I stopped and looked back, feeling my face drain of color. I saw some of the weeds
16:30
moving, and that's when I ran, leaving my boyfriend and other friend behind. We sprinted almost two blocks before
16:36
stopping to catch our breath and walked through the neighborhoods back to our cars. The entire way we could hear something
16:42
climbing across the roofs, rocks being thrown at us from the top of trees, and
16:48
we even saw a pale figure dart past us. A strong feeling of dread hung over
16:53
Median the whole time. Now, when we finally reached our cars, we spent a few minutes calming down before driving
17:00
away. It was quiet for a moment until we heard the creature climb on the roof of a converted bank.
17:08
It paced back and forth just out of the reach of the light, throwing things at us and into the tree multiple times. It
17:15
was terrifying to be followed like that in an area where I used to feel so safe.
17:20
And once I got home, I did some research. The growl, the palenness, and the speed which is it ran matched
17:27
descriptions of the crawler encounters. I think it only followed us and through things because we were three together
17:34
staying close. Hopefully, I won't reenccounter. At least not alone.
17:43
Now, in this next account, a 12year-old in 1982 reportedly saw a denim clad man
17:48
with black lifeless eyes leaning into doorways. The strange figure appeared
17:54
for years, almost as though it hadn't attached itself to him.
18:01
So the witness writes, "It was 1982. I was 12 years old and had vivid memories
18:07
of the police, Eddie Money, John Melanchamp on the radio, which oddly enough froze my memory at that time of
18:13
the time. My parents were apartment managers. It was moving day into our new
18:19
manager's quarters in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. It was almost a double-sized apartment,
18:25
an apartment attached to the office. My younger sister, my brother, and I were given what amounted to half of the
18:31
apartment as our own. While the adults were moving everything from the truck into the house, I sat alone in a large
18:37
room under a window. It was the early part of the day around 9:00 a.m.
18:43
I was staring into and messing with the funky shag carpet when I saw someone
18:48
lean into the doorway so I could make out the upper torso area and then it
18:54
leaned back out. I glanced over quickly, assuming it was one of the adults peeking in to check on
19:01
me. I really didn't think anything of it. A few seconds later, I saw the
19:06
figure lean in again. I turned my head quickly into the doorway and again, nothing.
19:13
The second time felt a little different, almost as if it was trying not to be seen.
19:19
Something in my young mind told me to stare at the carpet and try to focus, but not on my peripheral vision. So, I
19:27
stared down at the floor and sure enough, this thing leaned back into the doorway.
19:32
Now, out of the corner of my eye, I could make out what looked like a man in his late 30s wearing a denim jacket with
19:38
black scruffy hair and weird black eyes. The whole thing had a strange dark look.
19:44
And my mind may have filled in some of the details at the moment, but I have
19:50
this memory seared into my brain. It freaked me out. What the hell was that?
19:55
I sat there and sidewatched this thing for what felt like an eternity, but was probably only just a couple seconds.
20:02
Now, over the next several years, I had similar experiences. It was almost like this thing followed me and I expected to
20:09
see him from time to time but after a while I I didn't think about it and then I never saw it again.

20:40
questions in all caps. So, it's next to account.
20:46
Strange sounds, ominous drumming, and a shadow with pitch black eyes surrounded a young angler near a church canal. The
20:54
deeper he explored, the more he felt the land itself was marked by something sinister.
21:01
So he writes, "Hi, I just turned 18 and I'm from South Louisiana. I had a
21:06
disturbing encounter yesterday and it really spooked me. I want to mention that I never believed in any of this
21:12
stuff until today. So after work, I decided to go fishing for the remainder of the daylight and I went to a canal
21:19
near my house that's located by a church. Now on my side there's a levey that leads into a nature
21:27
preserve and a highway while on the other side of the canal there are woods with singular tree that had a warning
21:32
sign. I have fish at this spot many times with friends but today I was alone. Every
21:39
time we visited we would hear a large animal running around in the woods. We
21:45
thought it might be a hog but it never showed itself. today. As soon as I
21:51
stepped out of the car, I heard an eerie I got an eerie feeling but brushed it off. I hopped over the gate and walked
21:58
down the canal with my fishing poles. When I arrived, something seemed normal.
22:03
Just a few armadillos, birds, and other animals. So, I started fishing.
22:10
Now, about 15 minutes into fishing, I started to feel as if I were being watched. It was an unsettling feeling,
22:16
almost as if something was watching me from all directions, which made me uneasing. Then, as expected, I heard the
22:22
sound of that large animal running through the woods again. In the distance, I also listened to an ominous
22:28
bark, which made me think it might have been a dog. And as I walked along the bank, casting
22:35
my line, the feeling of being followed intensified. I kept looking behind me, alongside me,
22:41
in front of me. And this continued for about 10 minutes. At a certain point along the canal, I
22:47
noticed strange marks in the trail, overgrown grass beside the uh the bank.
22:52
Then I heard it boom, boom, boom. It was the distant sound of a hollow drum being
22:58
hit three times. And shortly after, the animal began acting erratically and
23:03
running around. I became even more frightened and decided to fish my way back to where I
23:09
had left my bag. That's when I heard it again. Boom. Boom. The drum was hit
23:15
twice and I sensed the creature running in front of me. I froze. There was a small opening in the trees
23:22
and I saw the branches shake as something moved through the opening and looked at me. I stood there frozen with
23:28
fear. I couldn't see its face, just a shadow with an eye staring directly at
23:34
me. a black eye, too dark, like a portal to hell. I started to back away as the
23:39
creature turned away from me, and then I heard a singular drum sound. Boom.
23:45
It became eerily quiet. Even the birds stopped chirping. Terrified, I ran as fast as I could without looking back. I
23:51
reached my car and drove home. I should also mention that I've grown up around here, and there are trails in the
23:58
patch of woods next to the church that have bloody dresses nailed to the trees.
24:03
upside down crosses carved into them and baby doll heads with their eyes cut out.
24:09
I need answers. Please tell me what you think it could be. Until today, I didn't believe in any of this. I don't smoke,
24:16
vape, drink, or do anything like it. I know I'm not crazy. What I saw wasn't human and certainly wasn't an animal.
24:25
So, I don't know what he ran into. So this next account, while black powder
24:33
hunting, a man realized a bipeedal creature was mirroring every step in the dark woods.
24:39
Hours of circling his treeand ended up with only with daybreak in the memory of
24:45
glowing green eyes yards away. Real truth. Thank you for your donation.
24:52
Much appreciated. I was black in the witness states. I was
24:57
black powder hunting alone in a very rural area, Grayson County, Kentucky, far off the Parkway.
25:04
It was an off-grid property surrounded by old growth timbers for miles, which only a few seasonal hunting cabins that
25:11
remained dormant most of the year. Now, I've deer hunted this property all
25:16
my life. I've never had any reason to fear walking to my deer stand in the dark. However, the 2008 season changed
25:23
my life forever. I usually rode my four-wheeler in and parked about 250 yards from my favorite
25:30
spot, walking the rest of the way to avoid spooking any game. As I turned off my four-wheeler and put
25:36
on my backpack, I heard a tremendous limb snap, which I assume was a deer or
25:42
some animal moving about 20 yards away. Initially, I didn't think much of it and
25:48
figured I had spooked an animal. I gathered my gun and hunting gear, then
25:53
began walking down the two-track trail without without my flashlight as the moonlight provided enough illumination.
26:00
I was familiar with the trail and it led to a 15acre hayfield surrounded by old growth timber.
26:07
Now, as I walked in the dark, I began to realize something was paralleling my every step just inside the woods. I
26:14
would walk and stop and would do the same. And as I continued down the dark trail, the footsteps began to get
26:20
closer. It wasn't I wasn't entirely sure, but it sounded like they were bipedal.
26:27
By the time I realized I was in a serious situation, it was too late to return to my four-wheeler safely. I
26:34
quickened my pace and aimed for the field with my stalker keeping pace with
26:39
me. When I reached the edge of the field, I headed towards my stand, which was about 75 yards away.
26:47
When I was with when I was within 10 yards of the stand, I heard another large limb snap very close on my left. I
26:55
stopped, turned on my flashlight, and shown it in that direction. I saw two glowing green eyes about 10 in apart.
27:02
Instinctively, I raised my hands in the air and shouted, "Get out of here!" I stomped my foot at it, unsure of what I
27:09
was seeing. The creature blinked its eyes once, but didn't move.
27:14
I couldn't make out any details, but it appeared to be crouched down since the eyes were so low to the ground. Whatever
27:21
it was, it didn't run away like most non-predatory animals would. I realized
27:26
that my best course of action was to take the high ground and get into my stand as quickly as possible.
27:34
The creature was no more than eight steps away. And if I shot at it in the dark, the muzzle flash would blind me
27:41
and it might attack if I missed. With only one shot available, I knew it'd be in trouble if it did attack.
27:48
I climbed up my ladder to my stand quickly like a squirrel. I watched, listened, and waited for what felt like
27:54
an eternity until dawn. That thing circled me in the stand just out of the
28:00
reach of my flashlight for over an hour. I'm not ashamed to admit that I was scared, but I remained calm, knowing the
28:07
only way it could reach me was by climbing the ladder. I found some comfort in that, though, even though it
28:13
seemed uncertain about how to use it. So, at one point, I heard what sounded
28:19
like a small rock bouncing off the lower end of the metal ladder. I waited, gunn
28:25
it ready, ready to do whatever I it is to take or you know, to keep me alive. I
28:31
could see a shadow moving, but in the dark it was hard to tell if my eyes were playing tricks on me. Still, I sensed a
28:38
real threat lurking in the dark field surrounding my te dear stand. This creature had been stalking me until just
28:45
seconds before daybreak. Eventually, I heard its footsteps fade back into the woods and from where I had followed me.
28:52
I continued to wait, watching and listening intently until full daylight illuminated the area.
28:58
Then I cautiously descended the ladder, remaining on high alert. As I walked back to my four-wheeler, I knew this
29:05
creature wasn't gone. It was likely hiding in the forest, watching my every move.
29:12
I moved quickly across the field, pausing to listen before heading back to the two-track path surrounded by trees.
29:21
I was aware that it could be perfect a perfect ambush spot. Thanks, Mortal Clan, for your donation.
29:28
With close quarters limiting my ability to evade or fight off an attack, I unnapped my hunting knife sheath, ripped
29:35
my black powder rifle firmly, and prepared myself for a life ordeath battle. Now, as I rounded the corner
29:42
where my four-wheel was parked, I saw my escape and waste no time hopping on the machine.
29:48
As I turned the key to start it, I heard another branch snap forcefully behind me.
29:55
The bike roared to life and I quickly applied the throttle, looking through the gears as fast, you know, going
30:01
through the gears as fast as I could, never looking back. Honestly, I I didn't
30:08
want to know what it was, and I was just relieved to escape such a close call. Once I got back to my cabin, I packed up
30:15
and got out of there. Thanks again, Mortal Clown.
30:22
So, next account, a worker uh stranded on a mountain road heard heavy footfalls pacing him through the dark. Though
30:30
nothing was seen, the overwhelming fear suggested something more than an elk or bear proud those woods.
30:40
So, the witness states, "I worked at Keystone Resort in Colorado for a few years now. During the summer, we would
30:46
set up for conferences, weddings, and other events. Several weddings were held at one of the mountaintop buildings
30:52
which served as a high-end dining area in the winter and hosted functions in the summer.
30:58
Imagine beautiful wooden buildings at top a mountain complete with massive stone fireplaces and magnificent vistas
31:05
from expansive wooden decks. They were lovely venues for weddings if you could
31:10
afford it. However, to reach these places, you had to drive along dirt roads that wound through valleys and
31:16
then up switchback roads along the mountain until you reach the destination. It was approximately an 8
31:22
mile trek from um winding of winding mountain roads.
31:28
So, one night I had a quick turnaround from a conference to a wedding the following afternoon.
31:34
This required moving a lot of tables and chairs down the mountain and bringing up the different ones for the wedding. A
31:40
crew would break down the previous setup and load a truck, which would then be driven down to another building to
31:46
unload and reload the equipment before being driven back up the mountain. I was
31:51
the one driving the truck. As I made the long twisty 8-mile drive
31:57
back up the mountain with my last load of equipment, my truck coughed a few times and then shut off. When I tried to
32:04
restart it, I got nothing. Now, at that point, I was frustrated. I had no radio
32:09
and would have to walk to the mountainside building to send a radio message for another truck. I stepped out
32:16
and began walking. After about a 100 yards, I heard something in the woods, a heavy football
32:22
and some brush snapping. I froze. The darkness was nearly absolute and the
32:28
road had no lighting, just the faint glow from the quarter moon. A familiar
32:33
shiver shot from my lower back to the top of my head. I strained to hear anything, but fell silent again. I
32:41
resumed walking softly, my eyes darting back and forth, trying to catch any slight movement.
32:47
I moved another 25 yards, and the rustling in the woods started up again, seemingly shadowing me from uphill and
32:53
behind. I felt tingling all over my body, and my eyes were widened in fear, and my breath
32:59
came in quick gasp. I stopped to scan for any any movement.
33:06
Once more, the sound ceased. My rational mind whispered, "Don't worry. It's just a deer or an elk, or maybe a bear.
33:14
But what if it's something else?" My subconscious screamed, "Bigfoot!"
33:20
I tried to maintain my composure, but calmness had left me. I began walking faster, trying to assess any sound from
33:27
behind me. It didn't take long for the footballs and the brush movement to start up again, which prompted me to
33:33
break into a full run, desperate to reach the building at safety before the unknown attacked me.
33:40
For about 15 to 20 seconds, I heard crashing in the underbrush behind me. After that, all I could hear was the
33:46
pounding of my blood in my ears and the heavy thuds of my feet hitting the ground.
33:52
I have no idea how fast I ran that last mile and a half to the building, but I was sure that something was going to
33:58
grab me from the darkness in any moment. I made it to the safety of the building
34:04
and dashed inside. Everyone there took one look at me, then sat me down and offered me a strong drink from the bar.
34:11
I must have looked like a ghost. My friends gave me a hard time for being scared, but none of them dared to step
34:18
outside to investigate my story. Instead, they just radioed for another truck to retrieve the equipment from the
34:24
broken down vehicle and delivered the rest of the way. I finished my shift and ended up getting
34:30
crosseyed drunk that morning and the next day. I had never been so scared my
34:35
of the woods in my life. Just to be clear, I'm not an outdoorsy type. I don't hunt or camp. I still have no idea
34:44
what was in those woods that night. My rational size said side said it was just
34:49
a big animal, but my paranoia tells me it was something else. I never saw anything. I just heard noises. And to
34:56
this day, I still think it was probably just an elk or a bear. But good luck convincing me yourself of what that was
35:03
when you're all alone in the pitch black woods.
35:12
So, this next account, deep in the forest, a ranger and friends
35:18
encountered a bizarre gray skinned humanoid with red eyes and no mouth. Its
35:23
chilling scream echoed across the clearing, and for years afterwards, it felt he felt stalked by its presence.
35:33
Now, this is a local one, so if there's people who are who are from my area of the woods, uh you you'll know the area.
35:41
Anyway, in 1999, I was working at Calonia State Park in
35:46
South Central Pennsylvania, became familiar with its back areas, places most tourists never see.
35:54
Approximately one mile from the park, along a long dirt road, there was a
35:59
large clearing in the woods cleared for power lines and gas wells.
36:05
Once you reached that spot, you had to walk down a long hill until you came to an old abandoned trail. If you followed
36:11
this trail would lead you deep into the forest. One day, I followed it and discovered an
36:18
old dilapidated cabin not listed in the park cabin records that looked like it
36:23
hadn't been used in decades. Even though it was daylight, I felt a creepy sensation like I shouldn't be
36:29
there, as if something was watching my every move. A few weeks later, while I was off duty,
36:36
two friends and I were just out driving around enjoying the summer night. Since I knew all the back roads, I gave them a
36:44
bit of a tour. Note, none of these roads were off limits, so I wasn't breaking any rules other than that mysterious
36:51
cabin. The park had no real secrets. Around 11 p.m., I came to that familiar
36:56
clearing and mentioned the old cabinet cabin. Feeling brave, I convinced them
37:01
to let me show it to them. So, I grabbed my flashlight and we headed down the hill onto the path that led to the
37:08
cabin. I took the lead and we had walked halfway when my light suddenly flashed
37:15
on something to the right side of the path. Immediately I stopped and said, "Did you just see that?" They responded,
37:22
"See what?" I panned the light back to the right side of the road and said, "That
37:28
standing by the tree was a creature that looked like it belonged in a sci-fi movie. It had grayish all skin colored
37:36
skin and was very thin in its extremities. Its calf and forearm muscles were very
37:42
large as as was its chest. The face was the strangest part. It had the typical
37:48
alien gray head shape, but no mouth. Its nose was long and thin, but not longer
37:54
than its chin. The eyes glowed red in the light, but were relatively small,
38:00
smaller than any human eye. I hate to refer reference this for fear
38:05
of questioning my sanity, but my best description is that it resembled the
38:11
goons from the Pope Pie cartoons. It leaned oddly against the tree like
38:17
someone relaxing on an armchair, reminiscent of how the fawns would lean against a jukebox in Happy Days, except
38:24
without cross legs. Immediately, everyone wanted to leave,
38:29
but as we turned, my flashlight went out. My friends urged me to stop messing with
38:34
them, but I insisted I wasn't joking and told them to keep moving. I was now at the back of the group. I
38:40
frantically pounded on my flashlight, trying to get it to work again. As soon as it switched back on, I turned it
38:46
around, shining in behind us. The creature had moved closer and was now on the left side of the path. We hurried to
38:54
the clearing, and once we reached the main dirt road at the top of the hill, things escalated. From the woods we had
38:59
just exited came a high-pitched blood curdling screech which was soon answered
39:04
by similar sounds from the other side of the clearing. Now I had spent my life in the woods and
39:11
with a degree of wildlife management from Penn State, I had heard many animal noises, but I had never encountered that
39:17
sound before. I knew it wasn't an owl, bobcat, bear, bird, or porcupine. None
39:23
of those made those types of sounds. Months passed without incident, but I
39:29
couldn't shake the feeling that I was being watched to the point where I felt stalked.
39:36
Now, one night as I went to retrieve something from my truck, I glanced into the woods and saw reddish glowing eyes
39:42
staring back at me from the shadows. I raced into the house and grabbed the largest knife I could find. I'm not a
39:49
gun guy. My dad asked me what I was doing. I explained that I was trying. I was tired
39:56
of feeling stalked and was going to confront this thing. He insisted on coming with me, though I knew he didn't
40:02
honestly believe my encounter. So, when we stepped outside, he casually asked, "Okay, where did you see this thing?" I
40:10
pointed to the spot and as he directed his flashlight there, he was shocked to see it. As soon as the light hit it, the
40:17
creature tore off deep into the woods. Now, my dad, an ex-marine who served proudly in Vietnam, told me in a
40:23
terrified voice to get back into the house. To this day, telling this encounter
40:29
still creeps me out. My hands shake even as I type it out. I'm now in my 30s,
40:34
married with kids, living not far from the state park. Yet, even now, when I go outside at night, I still feel watched.
40:41
When I get a powerful feeling my wife won't let me leave the house without her by my side.
40:48
As a side note, for the first five years of our relationship, she too would catch
40:53
glimpses of this creature, but mostly when it was lurking in the shadows.
40:59
So folks, that was the last account. You have questions, please use all caps in the chat and I'll see what I can do.
41:12
And for you folks that are familiar with Catalonia and um and Misho State Forest,
41:18
there's a lot of weird stuff that goes on around there. It's just west of Gettysburg. It's I guess about 10 12
41:24
miles west of Gettysburg, but it's an area we had done a lot of research over the years and it's well known for
41:30
Bigfoot crypted canine activity. So, um I don't know what he saw. You know, when
41:36
he said the goons, I was thinking when I was a kid, I used to watch those cartoons and those goons just scared the hell out of me. So, uh, I knew what he
41:44
was talking about. Damn it. Uh, one characteristic of
41:50
Dogman is popping sounds as it shifts into an upright position to manipulate his joints to ambulate bipidality.
41:59
I I guess I have heard that, but I'm I don't know if that's actually true or not, but I guess it is possible.
42:16
They were intense occurrences. Yeah, there was some pretty good ones in there. Uh some of them was fairly new,
42:22
too. So, um I do get I have gotten some weird
42:28
accounts in past several weeks. Any questions, folks?
42:42
Hurry up. We got your chance now.
42:51
Well, in the meantime, I I just wanted to let you know that um this Wednesday will be this at 9:00 Eastern, 6 Pacific
42:59
time, we're going to um have the ass lawn presentation
43:05
and I am going to give away two books. One book I have talked about a lot.
43:11
That's Windendo Lure. That's with um that was written by Chad Lewis and Kevin
43:18
Lee Nelson. It it's probably the best book I've ever read on the Wendigo. It's
43:23
excellent book. And the other book is going to be Web of Life and Cosmos Human
43:28
and Bigfoot Star Ancestor. And that was written by Croissana Duran. Now I don't know if you remember when she was on the
43:36
show about five or six years ago. She's a friend of um
43:41
of uh Ray Keller, Cosmic Ray. Unfortunately, she passed away from
43:46
COVID about three years ago and uh her book's pretty hard to get a hold of. So,
43:53
you might enjoy this.
43:58
So, you you know, you become a member, you can um you can get in on that.
44:05
Barbara Mora, are there more encounters lately? If so,
44:11
in what part of the US? Um, you know, I can't really say there are more encounters.
44:17
It could be more people coming forward. Uh, you know, I I have put I have put a
44:25
um a report link on the on this website,
44:31
the new website, so people can contact me. and people have been using it. So,
44:37
yeah, I got a few coming in. Mike Pin, Lloyd Pie, my god, I haven't talked
44:42
about Lloyd in a long time. Lloyd and I used to talk a lot. I really like that
44:48
man. I thought he was great. Uh, unfortunately, he passed away from cancer about 10 years ago, I'd say now.
44:54
But um if anybody knows anything about the star child and uh and that
44:59
investigation and and what he had talked about in reference to the star child, it
45:06
was interesting. You may want to look it up on the um on online. There's another
45:11
group who has taken over the investigation.
45:16
Magnus, in terms of time slips, has there been any more interesting from Gettysburg? Um,
45:25
every once in a while I'll get a time slip story coming out of Gettysburg. Uh, I haven't had any recently.
45:31
Um, but there are a few come out of there.
45:36
Uh, that aren't related to the battle itself. Uh, it's just the the the atmosphere at Gettysburg is conducive to
45:44
a lot of weird stuff. So, uh,
45:49
but I haven't gotten any lately. I'll see what I can find though.
45:58
Anything else, folks?
46:04
Yeah, I just read that one. That's the one from Magnus.
46:16
Okay. Well, anyway, if you had an encounter sighting, you
46:22
know, feel free to email me at lawn structers.com with the date, location, your detailed
46:28
observation of their experience. Uh, tonight, please like and subscribe.
46:33
Share this with anyone who drives the lonely roads and watches the sky at night. Maybe they can uh
46:42
benefit from contacting me again. The newsletter sign up is at
46:48
fammonsters.com. If you go to the homepage, the link is there to sign up. I am going
46:55
to attempt to get the newsletter out, the first newsletter out this weekend.
47:00
Uh me and the developer just got everything lined up last night. So
47:05
hopefully that'll work. But, uh, I plan on, um, I plan on doing, uh, a maybe a bi-weekly
47:15
newsletter. I see another question. First contact specialist trainee.
47:22
Hello, Lon. What do you think about Atlas 31 asteroid changing physics as we
47:27
know it? It's a true extraterrestrial object that came from DSpace. Stay tuned, folks. Yeah, I I did an article
47:35
about that this week. I don't know what this thing is, but it is making some
47:40
pretty significant moves and it's also expelling a lot of chemicals that you
47:47
just don't see. Um, I think they even discovered that there
47:53
possible cyanide coming off of it. I know it has a I know that it's composed
47:59
of frozen uh carbon dio dioxide for the most part.
48:05
That's what they can determine. But um it'll be interesting to see what
48:11
maneuvers it has or what it does the next several months. Uh but I don't
48:18
know. It is an enigma. It's something that they've never seen before, though. I mean, maybe they have, but it's just
48:23
not documented. Anything else, folks?
48:32
Well, again, thanks for coming in and uh until next time. And look, if you try to
48:37
make it Wednesday night, the membership's only $2.99. We do we're trying to get more and more
48:44
perks for folks and giveaways and a lot of other stuff. So, uh we'll see you
48:50
we'll see you Wednesday night for that. But then again, stay safe, stay curious, and next Friday night, we'll talk to
48:56
you. And have a good night. Have a great weekend as well. Talk to you later. Bye-bye.
