CRYPTID, NATURAL, OR SOMETHING MORE TERRIFYING? | LIVE Chat | Q&A (IT WAITS IN THE SHADOWS!)
Across the vast and shadowy landscapes of North America, unsettling encounters continue to be reported—accounts of beings that defy natural classification. Whether deep in the forests, along remote highways, or even near suburban developments, something lurks in the periphery of our understanding. Tonight, on Phantoms & Monsters Radio, we ask a fundamental question: are these unknown entities merely undiscovered natural creatures, traditional cryptids like Bigfoot and Cryptid Canines, or could they be something far more terrifying?
The testimonies we’ll explore have been submitted directly to me and my trusted colleagues. Eyewitness accounts from ordinary people who have stumbled into extraordinary situations. Some describe flesh-and-blood creatures with unnatural intelligence, while others speak of entities that flicker between dimensions, appearing and vanishing in ways no biological organism should. These reports challenge not only zoological norms but also the very boundaries of what we consider real.
In many of these cases, the behavior of the entity is as perplexing as its appearance. There are incidents of telepathic communication, electromagnetic disturbances, and unexplained fear. Phenomena that suggest something beyond a hidden species. Are we dealing with interdimensional beings cloaked in animal form? Experimental biological constructs? Manifestations of our collective psyche? The lines are increasingly blurred.
As always, we present these stories not as fiction, but as part of the living archive of anomalous encounters being reported across this continent. Our goal is not to sensationalize, but to offer a platform for those who have experienced the unexplained and to provoke critical thought among listeners who dare to confront these mysteries head-on.
So, prepare yourself for a journey into the unknown. This isn’t just about creatures in the woods, this is about the very fabric of reality being peeled back, one sighting at a time. Are we dealing with cryptids, natural beings yet to be discovered, or are we brushing up against something far more primal, and far more terrifying?

5:55
presentation so this first account the witness states "Hello I want to report disturbing
6:02
activity around my residence for the past two weeks i hope you can provide some insight into what we're dealing
6:09
with i live in a rural area of southeastern Oklahoma a few miles from Tahinia
6:16
i've lived here for all my 48 years and have never experienced anything strange in this area before
6:24
on June 1st of this year at about 10:30 p.m I was on my back porch reading the
6:31
newspaper my husband was getting ready to leave for work now my porch faces a large
6:37
wooded area about 800 ft or so from the lake i have a small yard and the edge of
6:44
the woods is about 50 ft from the house my husband walked out the back door said
6:49
goodbye and walked to his truck as soon as he pulled away I heard a loud shrill
6:54
sound coming from the direction of the lake it reminded me of a pig squealing but it was much louder and scarier
7:02
i didn't get up from my chair as I looked towards the woods now after a few minutes I heard
7:08
something heavy walking through the woods it was something or someone on two legs
7:13
it was so dark that I couldn't see anything then suddenly three deer burst out of the woods and ran alongside the
7:19
house i thought they caused the noise so I got up and walked into the house
7:25
most nights after I come home from work around 8:30 p.m I eat dinner and then go
7:30
out on the porch to read the newspaper ever since that first night I've heard the same shrill sound on four other
7:38
occasions my husband sat with me a few times and he was surprised by the sounds
7:44
he has been a hunter all his adult life and he had no idea what made those sounds so this Tuesday night I was
7:51
sitting on the porch talking to my daughter on the phone my husband was working that night it was around 10:45
7:58
p.m i had a strange feeling most of the evening and kept my gaze focused on the
8:04
woods i was about ready to get up and walk into the house after ending the call but then I noticed a pair of bright
8:11
yellow eyes looking at me from the woods it was only a few feet into the brush
8:18
and the eyes were at least 7 ft from the ground i ran into the kitchen quickly
8:23
closed the door and locked it i turned off the lights inside but the porch light was still on and the edge of the
8:29
woods was still illuminated as I peaked out the window above the
8:35
sink I noticed a tall huge dark figure standing in the back of the yard the
8:40
eyes still shone brightly and were looking in my direction as I continued to watch my eyes adjusted to the low
8:47
light i then noticed a long the long thick arms with fingers and long nails i
8:54
recognized a long snout and long pointed ears then suddenly it turned and ran
8:59
into the woods it was gone i was trembling because I had no idea
9:04
what I just seen i called my daughter back and told her my son-in-law and she
9:09
immediately came over and spent the night he brought his rifle with him the
9:15
next morning I told my h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h what I saw now he's part of sage and believes in animal
9:20
spirits but he was confused by this thing I described he told me that it
9:26
might be a trickster spirit and if we ignore it it won't bother us i'm not so sure I believe that this didn't look
9:34
like a spirit and resembled a huge dark coyote walking on two legs
9:39
have you heard of anything like this please contact me i'd like to ask you a few questions so I did i called the
9:46
witness and I tried to answer her questions she um she has not been able to see any tracks
9:52
and any other evidence um she heard this shrill sound night or two nights ago
9:58
before she went to bed now her husband contacted the authorities
10:04
but she said that he was just making inquiries wanting to know if there had been any other reports zone it seems
10:11
they refused to give out any information now her neighbors have not noticed
10:16
anything unusual uh but she told me that they were elderly and rarely outside so
10:23
I asked her to keep me informed of further incidents
10:28
so this next witness states "Hi I'm writing to report an extraordinary and unsettling experience I had in the early
10:35
hours of April 19th 2025 around 2:30 a.m in San Louisis uh Opiso California i
10:44
live on the ground floor near the San Louis Episo Country Club i was outside my home on
10:51
the phone with a friend when we both suddenly heard a loud unnatural clicking sound it was sharp mechanical almost
10:59
like a bomb timer or distorted insect unlike any I've ever heard before in
11:04
nature or from a machine when I looked up into the sky I saw
11:10
something that completely froze me in place there was a massive winged figure above
11:16
me it wasn't like Big Bird big it was huge with an estimated wingspan of 10
11:21
feet or more and its body size was close to that of a human around six and a half
11:27
feet tall it was circling above me slowly and continued making a clicking noise as it
11:34
moved its body looked dark almost shadowy and I couldn't make out the face
11:39
no glowing eyes or defining features just the sheer size and the sound overwhelmed everything then as suddenly
11:47
as it appeared it vanished the clicking sound stopped midair the sky was empty
11:55
i ran to take cover beneath the entrance of my home and just as I was catching my breath I heard a sound in the nearby
12:02
bushes i looked and saw a tall figure about 6 and 1/2 foot standing or
12:08
crouched in the shadows i couldn't see its face but its shape and presence felt
12:13
connected to the fine figure from moments before it was completely silent but I felt an intense wave of fear and
12:20
instinctively ran inside now I want to emphasize that my Fred friend heard the clicking too over the phone and
12:27
commented that it sounded something like something was about to explode the entire thing happened over maybe two
12:34
to three minutes there were no red eyes no flapping no sound of wings just the clicking the enormous presence and the
12:41
silence when it was gone now this wasn't a dream it wasn't just my imagination i'm fully aware of how
12:48
strange it sounds but I needed to document it whether it was a crypted a supernatural entity or something else
12:55
I'm certain of what I experienced please let me know if there are any other reports like this in San Louis Bispo
13:02
area or if you'd like more details i just want to make sure that this is taken seriously thank you for your time
13:09
please get back to me uh what experience is still haunting me i need to find out
13:14
what it was so I did get a hold of her and I did send I have actually had a few
13:21
reports in that area uh really one of them was very near her but it was
13:26
anything to do with a a winged being or anything like that so um yeah I mean I I
13:32
just don't know what she experienced but we'll keep in contact
13:38
now this account was forwarded to me by my friends and colleagues Kyle and Cam over at Expanded Perspectives um this is
13:46
a recent series of events so the witness tells "My name is R.J and
13:53
I own a small piece of land just outside of Ellensburg Washington
13:58
is not a large city by any means and is on the smaller side but it's still very spread out there are farms and ranches
14:05
all around town and this happened on a property I recently bought on the outskirts of the city
14:11
now I purchased the land from an older man who mentioned keeping cows on the property but I hadn't heard much because
14:17
I had I was just proud of my accomplishment they should have listen I should have listened to him more because
14:23
I I later found out that he had nude into an assisted living facility and died shortly afterwards
14:32
this all occurred around a year and a half to two years ago the first year was fine the cows were fattened by winter
14:39
and we fixed the porch awning which we shouldn't have done because it broke under the weight of the snow in the
14:45
winter we also painted the barn red and white classic colors we set up a rabbit
14:50
hutch for my kids to practice raising animals but everything started in the summer of
14:56
the next year we lost one or two calves but we thought it was just coyotes nothing major since they were on the
15:03
weaker and smaller side anyway so one day while talking excuse me one
15:09
day while taking a walk on the property during a pleasant cooler evening we found a cloak made of various animal
15:16
skins now my kids are very intuitive and could identify some of the skins mostly
15:22
coyotes i thought it was just a project that the farmer had which got blown away in the
15:28
wind i I didn't know so we brought it back to ask him about it but we never got around to it because we got so busy
15:37
but that was when the rabbit started going missing we initially thought they had just escaped or something since the
15:43
cage was intact and nothing was out of place now at first we lost two then two
15:49
more and then two more until we had none left
15:55
when they started disappearing for the first time I set up some simple traps just the way I just the way I set them
16:03
but then I thought it was just some clever coyote so I decided to hunt them
16:09
i grabbed my headlight in my 22 i didn't particularly like guns but it was
16:14
necessary to have one for this kind of thing as the sun began to set I started
16:19
wandering the property searching for signs of coyote like scat trails and the like i spotted some signs but found no
16:28
coyotes i heard a couple of owls hooting crickets chirping and coyotes howling
16:33
but there was no trace of actual coyotes around 11 p.m I turned around and headed
16:40
back home now when I arrived home I glanced over at the tree that the kids love climbing
16:46
when they arked on their tablets there I noticed scratches on the bark
16:51
higher than I could reach maybe it was a bear but then I heard a scream behind me
16:56
it sounded like a woman i remembered that cougars could scream so I thought
17:02
it was a cougar but later that week I set up some trail cams around the property to see where
17:08
the cougar likes to hang out but every single time they were broken and smashed
17:14
the only reasonable explanation I could think of at the time was there was some hunters who were supposed to be there
17:20
who weren't supposed to be there when some SD cards were when some SD cards
17:26
were intact I reviewed them or what they had captured and but they always came up blank maybe a coyote walked across the
17:34
screen but otherwise nothing led up to being smashed
17:40
the next thing that happened was in November we lost two cows both pregnant and mangled almost murdered
17:48
the only thing missing from both was the calf inside
17:53
you could piece both together just without the calves we were losing money at this point the
18:00
calves we were supposed to sell in the spring and summer months were going missing and
18:05
by mid winter I felt like I was grasping astralis for reasons why they were
18:10
disappearing coyotes cougars bears and even the thought of some psycho hunters
18:16
but there was also something wrong with the reason for each
18:22
so one night I couldn't sleep i kept thinking about cougars and how they sometime prayed on cows so I went
18:29
downstairs and looked up encounters of cows and cougars eventually I somehow
18:34
ended up with alien conspiracies and cow mutilations but that was ridiculous and
18:40
almost unbelievable now while I was researching that night my elder child then 13 came down the
18:47
stairs shaking in fear he said there was something outside his window looking at him i immediately got up and checked
18:54
through the sliding glass door i remember it taking a moment for my eyes to adjust but there it was in the snow
19:02
clear as day the black skin of a creature contrasted against the white snow a deer but wrong larger and skinny
19:10
the only thing that came to mind was the picture of a windo i knew about windos and I thought they
19:17
were just a Native American tall tale like Paul Bunan but here it was right in front of me with a cloak made of rabbit
19:23
fur i understand when you think of a windo you think of the interpretation built
19:28
upon pulp culture and the original was far different and I respect that
19:36
however I know what I saw a creature with black skin the body and
19:42
the skull of a deer much un much which unusually was
19:48
hornless my son and I stared at it for some time
19:53
but then it walked away from our view and a few m moments later I heard the
19:58
scream the same one I had heard when I found the scratch marks on the tree
20:04
but it sounded like my son now neither I or my son have seen it
20:10
much since then but the signs of existence existence are ever present
20:16
scratch marks on fence post and screams in the night i have some photos from my phone but they aren't good
20:23
when it turned to spring I began to sell the calves and survived and and that survived and weren't taken i was forced
20:31
to sell all the calves and make some profit but not much a few months passed and I saw it and it signs of existence
20:38
less but with my frequent trips to town I have seen more missing pet posters
20:45
i don't know if they were always there but I feel like there's some connection to that in the windo
20:52
i have looked at a few of the posters and they're smaller animals maybe a
20:58
golden retriever as well i think it was trained to eat calves on my property but
21:04
once they left they began expanding into its hunting area and hunting further out
21:11
now it's in town hunting dogs cats maybe livestock on the edges but it it fed on
21:17
cavs before what happens when it runs out of animals entirely i have heard it mimics friends
21:24
and family that we have had over for barbecue once I put up posters around
21:30
the town warning of the creature i just hope that people believe it i even think to myself about how far out it sounds
21:37
but thanks for reading my story well I wonder what your thoughts are on
21:43
these incidents a mimicking creature possibly a wendigo i I keep thinking more of a a skinw
21:51
walker but then again a skidwalker continually coming back and forth like
21:57
that and leaving signs is just not conducive to to the um this this being which is
22:05
actually a a witch that transforms into some other being
22:11
you think it's something else if you do let me know
22:21
now this next account the witness stage hello thanks for reading my email i live
22:27
in a recently built house in Magog Quebec about one kilometer west of Lake
22:34
Magog near my house is a forest in a large marshy area approximately 200 meters
22:41
beyond my property i have lived here for two years many of my neighbors have been
22:46
here for the same amount of time now since June of this year we have been
22:53
hearing loud snarling sounds coming from the marsh mostly late at night at first
22:58
I thought it may be a coyote or another canine of some kind but recently we've noticed activity that rules this out
23:06
my neighbor three houses down has recently obtained a llama and kept in a large rail pin behind their house this
23:14
past weekend the llama disappeared the only evidence found were drag marks
23:20
in the area around the pen leading to the marsh there were no tracks or blood anywhere the police took a report and
23:27
searched they found nothing on Sunday night I was in my greenhouse cleaning up when I heard a loud thud
23:34
coming from behind my utility shed i started to walk out of my greenhouse
23:40
when I heard that distinctive snarling and it was very close i immediately went
23:45
back into the greenhouse cut off the lights and quietly watched i called my
23:50
wife on my cell phone and told her what I was going what was going on and to make sure all the doors were locked
23:56
i sat on a bench and waited i was there for about 10 minutes or so when I heard the snarling again there was a security
24:04
light on a timer mounted outside of our back porch it was on and shining towards
24:09
the greenhouse there is an additional security light by the driveway that comes on if triggered
24:15
by something moving nearby i heard some movement near the utility shed again then another thud and a brief shrieking
24:22
sound suddenly the security light above the driveway comes on
24:28
it was a huge winged creature with a long thin tail it was hideous it looked
24:34
like it had bat skin and short horns on a weird snakeike head
24:40
it opened its wings at one point i say the wingspan was at least 8 meters
24:45
i didn't notice feathers it stood about 3 to four meters high as well it was snarling and thrashing its head as it
24:53
ran towards the marsh i really know of no animal to reference it to
24:59
one of my neighbors came running out but he didn't see it i described what I witnessed he looked shocked at what I
25:05
was saying i don't know if he believed me or not we decided to call the police and report an
25:11
unknown animal on the property i didn't want to describe what I'm sure I saw
25:16
the next day I contacted a zoologologist in Montreal and was referred to a
25:21
cryptozoolologist in Sherbrook neither of them offered much help and neither volunteered to come and examine
25:28
the area the police found nothing though my yard has four dig marks in it but
25:34
look like someone took a shovel and overturned the soil i haven't heard any sounds since that
25:40
incident if you would like to contact me feel feel free to do so
25:45
um I had to wait until that evening the evening of the next day to call the
25:51
witness and I spoke to his wife earlier on and she said that he she didn't see
25:57
the creature but she heard it and the witness told me that the police weren't interested and directed him to contact
26:03
wildlife and animal control so the witness and his wife moved to Mog from
26:09
Western Ontario two years ago uh he's not f familiar with the outdoors
26:15
he didn't provide much more information but he refused to give me the contact details of his neighbors uh he agreed to
26:21
let me post the report i honestly don't know what to think about this site you
26:27
know I've heard weirder things but I don't know the tone of his voice while describing the incident over the phone
26:32
didn't instill overwhelming confidence in his story also he didn't take any photos of the marks on the lawn so I'm
26:39
presenting it to you as received you can make your own determination
26:50
this next account I was contacted by a gentleman by the name of Edward in Kansas City Kansas by telephone after he
26:58
read a post that that referenced my book Moth Man Dynasty Chicago's Wing Humanoids
27:06
edward wanted to share an encounter he and his cousin had in the summer of 1999 between 10 and 11:00 p.m local time they
27:13
were traveling southbound on I49 towards Joplain Missouri with Edward driving
27:19
he could not recall the exact area but they were not too far from Joplain now he states that he noticed a tall figure
27:26
quickly running from the direction of a medium to his left and directly in front
27:31
of his car now both he and his cousin observed a human-like being and immediately said to each other that
27:38
looked like a gargoyle the headlights illuminated the humanoid so well that both witnesses could get a
27:45
a good description of it the gargle was at least 6 and 1/2 ft tall and had dark leathery leathery uh hairless skin
27:53
covered the body the being looked towards the witness and its face featured starkly flattened
27:59
characteristics with large deep set eyes there were large wings that lay flat on
28:06
its back but were extended as to reach it reached the other side of the highway now Edward believes his being began to
28:14
ascend into the air above the field now Edward noted that he has had no
28:19
other comparisons to make regarding the humanoid other than calling it a gargo however after watching the movie Jeepers
28:26
Creepers following the film's release in 2001 he stated that the humanoid was very similar to the Creeper character
28:34
now both witnesses remained quiet about the encounter until a few years later when Edward married his wife he and his
28:40
cousin recounted the incident to her now the witness seemed grateful that he could tell his story without someone
28:46
thinking it was crazy and like I have said before you know this whole thing in Chicago in the area around um many times
28:54
we've had people refer to the uh Jeepers Creepers Creeper from the film so uh
29:00
yeah you know maybe that's what he saw but I I don't know
29:11
now I talked to a witness of a reptilian humanoid that crossed in front of them
29:16
while driving on a rural road in Ron Mountain Tennessee
29:22
one evening in 2010 near Ran Mountain Tennessee a woman was driving her ex and
29:27
his son back home from a birthday dinner at a favorite restaurant and was coming
29:32
along the two lane stretch of road went ahead of them they saw what appeared to
29:37
be a large white ball that had moved out onto the highway directly from the
29:43
cemetery above she said it began coming towards them as if it was trying to collide with the
29:49
vehicle and the closer they got this to this thing that had a they got a better look at it now she described it as
29:55
appearing to be half animal reptile half human and human limbs
30:02
it had two arms and two legs and was crawling on its belly she hoped that the creature would exit
30:08
the highway and into the woods to prevent getting hit but it just continued moving directly at them and
30:13
the vehicle she slammed on her brakes to avoid hitting it and at that point the
30:18
creature went from spinning like a tornado right before it contacted the front of the vehicle
30:26
then she said it went beneath the radiator and vanished
30:32
she her ex and his son were all quite shaken and terrified and said that
30:37
whatever the creature was it wasn't anything from this world she continued describing it as many as having two
30:44
human arms and legs midbody alligator or reptilium and white as snow
30:52
it crawled on his stomach like a reptile the ex stated that during the counter it
30:59
felt like time had stood still everything just slowed down all three of
31:05
them agreed that they had a very eerie feeling of something very evil presence before they encountered this thing now I
31:13
look I have family in that area i've talked about this before i have never heard of anything like this so
31:20
I kind of um I kind of told one of my relatives about this so uh they know at
31:25
least I got the report so maybe if they hear about anything they'll let me know but who knows
31:34
now this next witness states "We live in the Pacific Northwest near Tacoma Washington on many acres of mostly
31:40
treecovered land with a creek we have seen and heard a strange nocturnal
31:46
bat-like creature this thing is huge light gray and has a furry body but no feathers or scales it silently swoops
31:54
down at you with giant fat wings it makes a sound like a jungle monkey or
32:01
bird thus we refer to it as the monkey bird we keep our chickens and goats two
32:06
small dogs and and cats safely housed at night however two of our cats who
32:13
sneaked out one night onto the roof disappeared without a trace of fur blood or any evidence of exactly what had
32:20
happened they wouldn't run away our outdoor watchdogs don't allow any coyotes or or
32:27
ground traveling predators anywhere near us
32:32
there were two of them together and they seemed fearless of me when they swooped down at me more than once and turned way
32:40
up into the top of the highest tree i couldn't get a look at the face of the
32:46
eyes mainly the huge gray bat wings approximately 12 11 to 12 foot span is
32:51
what I could see they seem to show up every summer always after dusk and
32:57
anytime through the night locals don't seem to know about them i might ask the local Native American
33:04
uh tribes to see if they know anything about what these creatures may actually be
33:10
do you know of anyone else who might have seen these things or what they are my brother and I saw another weird
33:16
batlike creature two summers ago that was also quite bizarre yet not like the
33:22
two large ones we were riding our bikes at dusk and this black guinea pigsized thing with
33:29
bat wings with holes all through the wings ran across the dirt road in front of us and under a bush
33:36
we don't know anyone who has seen anything like that either but we did see it
33:43
we see regular little common bats all the time after dust so we know that it's
33:49
not you know that what they look like but we know owls hawks eagles and all
33:54
the normal flying creatures around here and the others are definitely out of the ordinary
34:01
now I um I did talk to them and um
34:06
I I I did know that they're Eurasian eagle owls in the area but I I don't
34:11
know if that's what they saw honestly they don't really describe this
34:17
description isn't like that Eurasian eagle owls but um I don't know of any
34:22
bat species that size that live outside of the tropics vampire batch grief bulldog bats flying foxes they can reach
34:30
maximum size but I don't think they could adapt to the climate of Tacoma
34:35
Washington region where the climate is mild during the summer and when t temperatures tend to be in the 60s and
34:41
cold during the winter when temperatures tend to be in the 40s but you know some mammals can adapt to a climate change so
34:49
who knows but then I later received this followup
34:55
Thank you for checking with your colleague are the owl wings shaped like bat wings do they cling to the sides of
35:02
the trees do they make sounds like oo wah aoo wah like the wah like it rolling
35:10
out off off your tongue also the skin on the chest and wings are gray modeled
35:15
with some brownish color like a Mexican hairless dog skin and had visible blood veins kind of like
35:22
protruding on the skin area where can we find a picture of an Asian
35:28
eagle out and find out what it sounds like these might be molting or sick or
35:35
something we would love to solve the mystery and know more about them please let us know if you find any more
35:42
information thank you again and then again they got back to me thanks again
35:47
for your help and research it's truly appreciated we are near Tacoma in a
35:53
large forested area with a huge creek running all through it we looked through and and listened to all the eagle owl
35:59
info and enjoyed it very much i can say with certainty that these things are not
36:05
owls eagles vultures or anything like them i guess no one would believe us unless they saw them and heard them
36:12
these are real they have huge bat wings and a claw type thing on the top of the
36:18
wing that helps them clutch the trees indeed they don't seem to flap like
36:23
regular bats would they quietly swoop and glide they sound like those jungle
36:30
monkeys and you can see skin no feathers scales etc i'm sure these have got to be
36:37
characterized as unknown maybe someone has been doing some weird genetic
36:43
experiments with wildlife releasing them to see the survival rate would be maybe an environmental mutation
36:51
we would try to ask others who spend time after dusk in the forest whether
36:56
they have seen you know or heard anything like this we will let you know right away if we learn any more about
37:02
this it seemed it's such a pleasure to communicate with you well that was about
37:09
three years ago and I haven't heard back from them so uh I don't know what they're encountering i don't know if
37:15
they're still seeing it or not but they haven't got back to me
37:21
and now this next account was also provided by uh Kyle and Cam over at Expanded Perspectives
37:29
witness states "Hi I'm Luke from Western Kentucky this is a weird one i put this
37:36
experience on the back burner for far too long i've wanted to get this off my chest for years it's something that
37:44
happened in my backyard a few years ago so here's what went down it was a summer 2019 when my wife and I
37:51
had just purchased a new home in a great neighborhood our house is in the very
37:57
back so where my backyard ends the forest begins
38:02
there's plenty of room for a decent garden and space for the kids to have a nice place to play fast forward a bit
38:09
and I've got quite a nice little selection of veggies growing out there and mostly squashes tomatoes and peppers
38:16
and the very back was a perfect little cabbage patch behind the cabbage was the creek then the woods for miles
38:24
so the night that had me scratching my head ever since happened late in the evening early morning it was supposed to
38:31
have been around 1:30 a.m i had just finished watching TV and needed to uh go
38:40
to the bathroom before tucking in for bed the window in my back bathroom faces the
38:46
backyard if the blinds are open you got a full view of the garden and woods as I
38:51
was finishing up I glanced out into the darkness i forgot to mention that there's kind of a flood light on a
38:58
telephone pole in the corner of the yard so the area where the cabbages are located is somewhat illuminated
39:04
you can't make out the colors per se but the silhouettes and outlines are very visible i've seen many critters messing
39:11
about out there cats dogs raccoons possums that kind of thing but what I
39:17
saw that night I still can't explain the first thing that caught my attention
39:23
was the movement behind the tomatoes near the cabbages that spot wasn't
39:29
illuminated but I could just make out the silhouette of something about 2 to three feet tall moving up and down in
39:36
one spot for about 10 seconds then shifting over a few feet and repeating the same motion moving up and down
39:44
as I got closer to the brighter spot I started to discern what I was seeing i rubbed my eyes a few times and squinted
39:50
to try and clear my vision but the image never changed what I saw was what looked
39:56
like a head and torso the head and torso of a humanoid type looked to be halfway
40:03
buried from waist down but then it moved so it wasn't a head buried person there
40:10
were no visible legs it was like the body was missing the legs were gone this
40:15
thing was using hands like feet to get around we made it just inside the band of light
40:21
i could see that what I was looking at was I was seeing was correct a torso
40:27
using its arms and hands to move it was hairless but not pale and its head looked to be very misshapen
40:35
its arms were very thick it would make I could make out the size when the light would shine through the space between
40:41
the arm and the torso then by accident I had my face too close to the screen on the open window and it
40:48
made a popping sound it turned and looked right at me i couldn't move i was frozen in place i didn't know what to do
40:56
i'd never been in a situation like that before so after a few minutes watch felt a
41:03
which felt a lot longer i yelled out "Hey." It didn't seem to phase at all
41:09
but then with a surprising speed it darted towards me stopping near the middle of the yard then all of a sudden
41:16
it screamed this rough almost metallic sounding scream kind of like a screech
41:21
out then it took back off to the area where it had been when I first noticed it
41:27
grabbed something from the ground and took off through the creek dragging it behind i could hear splashes as it went
41:33
through and then sticks cracking as it started up through the woods
41:39
i couldn't believe what I just seen i wanted to go outside with a flashlight and investigate but honestly I was
41:45
spooked what did I just see one of the things that came to mind was
41:50
the movie Trading Places with Eddie Murray and Dan Akroyd the scene where Eddie was pretending to be a war veteran
41:56
who lost his legs and moved around on a cart could a homeless person with no legs be
42:02
camping out in the woods and creeping around people's backyards highly doubtful plus it didn't explain the
42:08
odd-shaped head and that terrible scream i'd never heard anything like it
42:14
that morning when the sun came up I went out to the backyard to investigate
42:20
everything was fine until I got to the cabbages well they were all gone except for one then I thought wait back to the
42:27
way the thing was moving up and down and moving over and repeating the process it was digging up my cabbage to this day
42:34
it's still one of the weirdest things I've ever experienced
42:45
so folks that's the last of the encounters and incidents if you have any
42:50
questions please feel free to con get in here and u put it all in caps and we'll
42:56
go from there
43:14
got anything folks
43:21
i know they're a little weird but uh Dag Nab asks "There's a type of gargo
43:29
seen in Puerto Rico that has a human face uh painted all white and ramlike horns that flies just like the moth man
43:36
also seen in southern Texas." Yeah I think um
43:42
uh George Martin who who is a journalist he's part of the
43:49
team actually he's uh he's one of our affiliates he has sent me some some things very similar to that uh and I
43:58
think he's been posting some of it on on Facebook as well occasionally he will throw one my way and I'll post on the
44:04
blog but I have heard about that uh I don't know what they're seeing uh
44:10
the name of the area where they're seeing is the Yinke is that what it's called it's a rainforest
44:17
in a hilly area of Puerto Rico but it's it's an area that has had a lot of sightings of these gargoike beings
44:25
but Jorge has uh he has been reporting on something similar to that over the years
44:34
jose Sanchez are there actual Jeepers creepers and do they have some scarecrow
44:39
attributes i saw a movie where the being is like that i I don't know if they have scarecrow attributes i mean I think
44:46
people don't know what they're seeing and and
44:51
try to equate it to the the the one thing that they have seen and it's in the movies or some type of pop culture
44:58
or something or pop culture and uh many times we get those type of descriptions
45:05
of something that uh has been seen in movies and TV and such
45:11
that's just like the uh the glimmerman and the sightings that kind of mimic the
45:18
um the cloaking um
45:23
uh aspect of the alien in the the the Predator movies we've been getting a lot
45:29
of those and um like I said before we're writing a book about it uh
45:36
Kyle and um and Cam from Expanded Perspectives and I are actually writing the book and in fact I just started
45:43
putting the full outline up and it we're hoping to have it released by the end of
45:49
summer mortal Clown are you getting reports uh
45:56
re malt man sightings in Chicago lady i've had a few it it it's very sparse
46:01
and many times they're older reports um I I don't really remember how many we've
46:08
had that have been recent i think maybe one or two uh I think last year
46:14
altogether we had seven or eight reports and I think we've had two this year so
46:19
far so uh yeah I mean we're still getting reports and when I do get a a trunch of
46:26
them I will talk about them on the show uh but the phenomena is not showing up
46:32
as much as it had before i doubt it's over i'm quite sure we're going to get more reports maybe they
46:40
will maybe they will change and turn into something else at some point who knows
46:48
el Yonke that's right Mara you're right can's quatch
46:54
have you taken reports of Sasquatch or other cryptids wearing animal skins
47:00
um
47:09
if I have I I can't recall it um no I don't know
47:16
i I No I don't think so i don't think I have that you that you mentioned it
47:28
jose Sanchez could gargles be a subtype of Mo Man species related distant cousin
47:34
i don't know it could be you know there's a lot of flying things out there
47:40
we just don't understand what they are and um of course we don't know what the
47:46
moth man is or the the winged humanoid in general sure it could be it could be
47:51
a maybe a subspecies or they may actually come from the same place and or
47:58
portal travelers just like I believe the moth man or the winged humanoids are
48:07
dynamic campers near Kingsman Arizona experienced a pack of chupacabas trying
48:13
to attack them in the desert if you have that link send it to me i
48:20
