Across continents and over decades, ordinary people have reported extraordinary encounters with creatures that defy logic and challenge their beliefs. From glowing red eyes watching in a South African field to an enormous batlike entity shaking an SUV in Florida, these accounts remind us that the world may still hold secrets science cannot explain. Witnesses describe beings that shift between human and animal forms, entities that vanish into the wilderness without a trace, and encounters so vivid that they leave behind physical evidence and lifelong unease.
In tonight’s presentation, we’ll dive into nine chilling reports about cryptids & humanoids that are referred to by unusual monikers. A werewolf-like figure prowling the suburbs, a colossal bat terrorizing Orlando, a winged humanoid in Pennsylvania, devilish hybrids in Virginia and Ohio, the historic hunt for a Hodag, a Jackalope sighting in Turkey, a mysterious woman in the frozen Swiss Alps, and a violent attack by a shapeless force on a sugarcane farm. Each testimony is raw, unfiltered, and unforgettable, leaving us to ask what is truly sharing this world with us, and how close they have already come to our lives.

Tonight, this is Phantoms and Monsters Radio, where the veil lifts one story at a time. If you're new here, welcome to
2:20
the presentation. Now tonight, across continents and decades, ordinary people
2:26
have reported extraordinary encounters with creatures that defy logic and challenge belief. From glowing red eyes
2:34
watching in a South African field to an enormous batlike entity shaking an SUV
2:40
in Florida, these accounts remind us that the world may still hold some secrets as science cannot explain.
2:47
Witnesses describe beings that ship between man and beast, entities that vanish into the wilderness without a
2:53
trace and encounters so vivid that they leave behind physical evidence and
2:59
lifelong unease. Now, in tonight's presentation, we'll dive into nine chilling reports of werewolf-like
3:05
creature prowling the suburbs, a colossal bat terrorizing Orlando, a
3:11
winged humanoid in Pennsylvania, devilish hybrids in Virginia and Ohio.
3:16
The historic hunt for the Hodag, a jackaloupe sighting in Turkey, a
3:21
mysterious woman in the frozen Swiss Alps, and a violent attack by a
3:26
shapeless force on a sugarcane farm. Each testimony is raw, unfiltered and
3:32
unforgettable, leaving us to ask, what is truly sharing this world with us, and
3:38
how close have they already come to our lives? Before I start, I want to thank Mortal
3:44
Clown for their donation. Thank you very much. So, here we go. In the suburbs of South
3:52
Africa, a young witness and his friends encounter strange red eyes and unexplainable footprints in a nearby
3:58
field. What began as a childhood story of a werewolf became a chilling
4:04
experience none of them would easily dismiss. So, the witness states, "I was about 12
4:10
years old when this happened. My family moved into a 13-story apartment building where we lived on the fourth floor
4:17
overlooking typical suburban housing in South Africa. From my room, I could see my friend's
4:23
house not too far to the left and to the right of it was a rather large field of
4:28
knee high grass that stretched over Ray Hill. Our building was situated on the peak of that hill.
4:36
I hope that gives you an idea of the area. A few months after we initially met, my friend, whom I'll call Jay, told
4:43
me about something he had seen and heard in that field late at night or in the early morning around 3 or 4 a.m. while
4:51
he's preparing for a fishing trip. He mentioned that a few years before I moved there, one of the neighbors had
4:57
gone out with his shotgun one night and shot in the general direction of this thing.
5:02
He described it as a tall dark mass in the shape of a werewolf standing on two feet with red eyes. The field was dark
5:11
unlike the rest of the town which was well lit only partially illuminated by the full moon even from my window. At
5:20
first I took the story with a grain of salt, having the typical imagination of a kid who fancied spooky tales.
5:27
So, one evening while I was in my room struggling to fall asleep with the lights off, I heard a strange growl or a
5:33
howl coming from the direction of the field. Naturally, I peakedked out the window. My imagination kicked in and for
5:39
a moment I thought I saw something red moving in a blur. The distance from my
5:46
window to the crest of the hill was about 300 meters and I brushed it off as silly mind tricks.
5:51
A few months later, I was about to join Jay on a fishing trip. We woke up at
5:57
3:00 a.m. to pack and load our equipment. From this house, there were two more houses to the right before the
6:04
field started. This street was adjacent to the grounds of the apartment building where I lived,
6:10
so I could see my window from the yard. As we were getting ready, we heard
6:17
noises coming from the field and decided to investigate without leaving his yard. From there, we could see about 200
6:23
meters into the field where we spotted two red specks that stayed very still.
6:31
When we looked more closely, the specks seemed to blur or fade. So, we had to
6:36
look away and then look back quickly to see them again. These eyes were about 2
6:41
meters above the ground, if not more. And at that distance, it was hard to judge. And suddenly we saw the eyes
6:48
darting away and we could barely make out the features of the tall black mass moving swiftly behind the hill.
6:56
Now after chatting about it, we decided to leave it at that, thinking we might have imagined things. We went fishing
7:03
that day without further discussion of what we might or might not have seen.
7:09
Then came the kicker. The following day, my brother Jay and I went exploring in
7:14
that massive field. It was a dry spell and all the grass is brown since we hadn't had rain for a few
7:21
weeks. Now, notably, we found some ancient arrowheads, rusted and primitive
7:26
looking, dating back about 200 years. As we walked along and approached the crest
7:32
of the hill, I stumbled upon a footprint in the sand. This was a small clearing between the
7:38
grass and what had to turn to stand to sand. At first, the footprint appeared to be
7:44
of some small animal. So, my first reaction was, "Hey guys, look. A lion or a leopard must have gotten loose or
7:50
something. But upon closer inspection, my perspective changed. The main
7:55
footprint cushion was the size of a grown man's palm with three smaller
8:00
cushions indicating toes. and above them were three triangular indentations where
8:06
the claws had been. The track didn't seem to be from something moving too fast, more like a quick walk. This was
8:13
the first foot footprint we found, big with three toes and clearly clogged. The
8:19
eerie part was that we discovered two more footprints. They were headed toward the building I stayed in, but curiously
8:26
they were spaced about two 3 to four meters apart, and there were no prints
8:32
before or after the ones we found. This all happened around 11:00 in the
8:37
morning. My brother, who was most skeptical among us, fell silent when he saw the footprints. His reaction was
8:44
shocking, and to this day, it gives me uneasy vibes. That silent response felt more
8:51
unsettling than the actual footprints or whatever creature had made them. We
8:56
didn't have cell phones back then, and I wish I could have taken pictures. That day is still vividly etched in my
9:02
memory. Afterward, we continued exploring, but what struck me was how we
9:07
never really discussed what we saw or found. It felt as if the sheer nature of
9:12
it was too much for our minds to comprehend. Now, some of the accounts on or all the
9:19
accounts I'm going to discuss tonight have a um have a local legend or a local
9:26
moniker to them. This this creature that they saw the footprints of could have
9:33
very been an Aogue. Uh and uh we're going to actually talk
9:38
about a few other strange creatures as well tonight.
9:43
So in the ne So in the early morning of April 2022, a driver in Orlando, Florida
9:49
encountered something extraordinary beneath the 10 the the I40, excuse me,
9:55
the I4 overpass. What he witnessed was a colossal batlike
10:00
creature so massive and natural that it forever changed how he viewed the world.
10:06
He states, "Early on Sunday, April 3rd, 2022, around 4:30 a.m., I was driving to
10:13
work at Tire Plus in Orlando, Florida. My daily route took me along John
10:20
Parkway at Buzzy Street. About halfway through my drive, I would pass under the I4 overpass with the
10:28
Orange County Corrections Department, the county jail immedately on my left. Now, usually Jangyong Parkway is
10:35
bustling with traffic during the day, but since it was so early on a Sunday, I barely saw anyone else on the road.
10:44
Now, on that warm April morning, I had my window rolled down. I was listening
10:49
to an audio book when I suddenly started hearing a loud flapping noise reminiscent of an enormous American flag
10:58
that fly outside my big cargo dealership. Initially, I thought it might be a truck
11:05
with a flat tire on I4. However, as I got closer, the noise intensified and my
11:10
car began to shake. Now, I drive a midsize SUV, so it's it's not a small vehicle. As I approached the I4
11:18
overpass, something caught my eye to the left. When I glanced out the window, I was shocked to see an enormous bat
11:25
flying alongside me under the overpass on the busy side on the busy street in
11:30
Orlando. I realized this sounds unbelievable, but the creature I saw was larger than a
11:37
truck. It had light brown fur, a body on at least
11:42
10 ft long, and a wingspan that could have been twice that. Its face didn't
11:47
resemble a typical bat. It had a flat snub nose like that of a vampire bat,
11:53
but appeared more gorillaike or even somewhat human except for the two large
11:58
fangs protruding from the top of its mouth. These fangs were about 6 in long,
12:04
curving outward, somewhat like tusk. It was flying near 20 feet away from me,
12:11
and never seemed to acknowledge my presence. Each flap of its wings produced a deafening noise that
12:16
violently shook my car. It looked like the creature was struggling to stay in the air, appearing
12:22
too heavy to maintain altitude. As it flapped its wings, I could see veins and cartilage through the the wing
12:29
membranes. It had long, skinny legs covered in the same light brown fur with
12:34
long claws. I didn't think to count how many toes it had. Its thin tail measured
12:40
about 4 feet long, ending in the patch of darker black fur resembling a cow's
12:46
tail. Now, afterward we emerged from under the overpass, the bat shot straight upward, climbing higher and
12:52
higher until it almost out of sight. It then turned left and flew along I4. Now,
12:59
at that point, I rolled up my window and pulled over to the side of the road. I started to dial 911, but hesitated. I
13:07
knew I wasn't tired or half asleep. I don't take any prescriptions or recreational drugs, and I don't drink.
13:13
However, I was at a loss for how to explain what I had seen to the police or anybody else. I feared no one would
13:22
believe me, thinking it was either I was either intoxicated or mistaken. Even if the police came, I wasn't sure what they
13:29
could even do about it. I remained shaken for the rest of the day. The first person I told was my fiance, who
13:36
was understanding, but may have been truly may not have truly believed my experience.
13:43
The next day, I told my younger brother, a firm believer in cryptids and supernatural phenomena. He suggested
13:49
that it may I may have seen an aol. I had never heard of an aol before, but
13:55
after looking it up online, I found it description matched that I had witnessed almost exactly.
14:02
Before this incident, I had never believed in Bigfoot, moth man, or similar creatures, thinking that
14:07
something so significant living in the area would have been documented. However, after seeing the trucksized bat
14:14
flying under the busy interstate in the middle of Orlando, my perspective has changed. I'm doubtful anyone will
14:20
actually believe my story. I wouldn't have thought it myself before April, but I felt compelled to share it. I don't
14:27
want to sound dramatic, but that morning transformed my light and altered how I perceived the world.
14:35
It's possible it was an owl or a uh a aol a h z o l um very similar to some of
14:44
the other winged humanoids we've been describing. Now Orlando is not too far from u where we had many reports down in
14:51
Pasco County. So um maybe it was the same thing. I don't know.
14:58
You have to excuse me. I may have to sneeze in a bit. So just let you know.
15:09
So, in this next account, on a summer night in 2005 near Chakura,
15:15
Pennsylvania, a quiet gathering on a back porch turned into an unforgettable moment before
15:23
stunned witnesses, a tiny winged humanoid with a human-like form and glowing presence emerged from the
15:29
shadows and vanished into the woods. Hi, Lon. I'm an avid reader of your site
15:37
and thoroughly enjoy hearing other people's experience. Thank you for what you do. It helps me understand this
15:42
mysterious world. Anyway, back in December of 2005, I had a very unusual
15:48
sighting that felt almost like a blessing to witness, especially considering my high hopes for such an
15:53
existence. My girlfriend at the time and a friend invited me to his parents house in the
15:58
rural area of Chakura, Pennsylvania, a place known for many other odd occurrences and sightings. And this is
16:06
in Butler County. Just want to mention uh there have been a lot of weird things that happened in Butter County. Anyway,
16:13
we joined a gathering of about seven or eight people. It was a casual evening.
16:18
Nothing crazy, no drugs to induce hallucinations. We sat on his parents' back porch as the sun set behind the
16:25
trees. The house situated in the thick wooded area and carried on conversations among friends. The night came and not
16:33
much changed. The porch was more of a deck, roughly 10
16:38
by 15 ft, providing ample space for all of us to gather around a table.
16:43
Now, on the far side of the deck, directly across from where I was sitting, my friend's mom had a large pile of pots and plants resting against
16:51
the uh deck railing and the house railing. This area was illuminated by a
16:56
spotlight, making our gathering very visible in the dark. Now, at this point, it was probably around 1000 p.m. and the
17:03
outside was almost pitch black. Suddenly, during one of those odd, quiet
17:08
moments in the conversation, we heard a pot tink as if it had been
17:14
lightly bumped. Being in the woods at night, we all turned to see what kind of animal might
17:19
be spying on us. And to our astonishment, as we turned and I had a
17:24
front row seat the whole time, we saw what looked like either an enormous moth
17:30
and it I've seen big moss, but this thing was more than the size of a squirrel or a relatively large bat shoot
17:37
straight up in the pile of pots. However, this creature obviously had wings wrapped around his body like a
17:44
tortilla. What blew my mind was that it had a human head with extremely long pointed
17:51
ears that almost resembled antennas. There was no hair on this creature though and it shot straight up in the
17:59
pile of pots and and what happened next totally threw us all into a spin.
18:05
It reached its maximum height and hung suspended into midair for about half a second. Then suddenly its wings burst
18:12
open into a full spread right in front of the the porch spotlight.
18:17
I couldn't believe what I was seeing. It was a perfect slender human female body
18:22
with wings attached along the entire side stretching from her fingertips to
18:28
her toes and beyond. The creature's body was solid and silhouetted against the light, but her
18:34
wings resembled the texture of an earlobe, almost like bat wings. Being in the spotlight, I could see
18:40
through her wings and observed the veins that carried blood throughout her body. I assumed her skin was a pale green
18:48
because her entire body and wings were covered in tiny white hairs which seemed
18:53
to have a magical quality casting a soft green glow over her form.
18:58
Now, I drew pictures to try to capture how she first appeared wrapped up in her wings and then opened into a full spread
19:06
resembling an X shape. She was a combination of a human and butterfly with a biological twist of a bat. Now,
19:14
biologically, I'd say that she had the dens density and weight of a large squirrel. She stood about a foot tall
19:21
with body proportions that appeared identical to those of a human. The design of her wings was oddly beautiful,
19:29
attached to her body in a way that made them stretch magnificently to complete her wingspr when she opened her arms and
19:36
legs. Now, here's a part that doesn't make sense. When she first shot out of the
19:42
pot, she hit a high point where she hung suspended in midair for about half a second before bursting open to reveal
19:49
her graceful form. After that, she hung in the air for another half second,
19:54
making a total hang time of about 1 to 1.5 seconds. I'm trying to be precise
20:00
with the timing because I am an animator and timing is everything in my work.
20:06
After she showcased her complete spread form, despite her heavy biological
20:11
makeup, she defied gravity and fluttered right over the table about 4 foot above us, then off the deck and into the
20:18
woods. From the point A, the pots on the porch, to point B, the wood, she fluttered for
20:26
about 7 to 10 seconds. It was dark, so once she looked the porches illuminated air, she quickly vanished as she crossed
20:32
that line. All of us sat in silence for about 30 seconds and dro jaws dropped in
20:38
disbelief. And uh I call this the Jakora Ferry, but
20:44
there have been other fairy sightings in that area over the years and a lot of other winged beings as well, including
20:51
the um what we call the Butler Bat or the Butler Batman. So uh it is an area
20:59
with a lot of strange sightings.
21:05
So in this next account, witnesses have described uh terrifying encounters with creatures that defy classification, part
21:11
animal and part devil. With glowing eyes on natural leaps and monstrous feel
21:16
features, these beings left both humans and animals shaken to the core.
21:22
Now on January 12th, 2006, a witness returned home to find a creature resembling a devil confronting his
21:29
six-year-old Labrador dog. This creature appeared to be an unusual
21:35
mix of a monkey, a dog, and something devilish. Suddenly, it sprang onto its hind legs
21:42
and bolted past the witness, nearly locking him over to reach the open door that he had just walked through. The
21:48
creature had long fangs, a monkey like tail, and extremely bright glowing eyes.
21:53
In another report, Ohio woman driving through Ronoke, Virginia around 2:30 a.m. described a similar encounter in
22:00
the late 90s, 1990s. While navigating a dark road at night and taking a detour due to road
22:07
construction, she drove past a sign that read Red Wolf Crossing near Elizabeth
22:12
City when a creature leaped in front of her car. This creature was entirely black with
22:18
very short, sleek fur, pointy ears, and long, thin tail. The woman described it
22:24
as cat-like, yet distinctively unlike any cat she had ever encountered. Its snout was flatter than a dog's
22:30
resembling that of a cat. The creature stood on its hind legs, about six foot tall, with a torso resembling that of a
22:37
skinny man with a head like a large monkey. Despite its slender appearance, it had muscular legs and arms.
22:46
So later she contacted the US Game and Wildlife Department which informed her that there were no black wolves in the
22:51
area. They suggested she may have even seen a a feral dog or a wolflike hybrid.
22:57
However, the woman firmly insisted that it was neither a wolf nor a dog.
23:02
Now she noted that the creature may have been on all fours before just before leaping. It jumped with such power and
23:09
height that it cleared both lanes of the highway in a single bound.
23:14
This indicated that a leap more than 18 ft approximately 6 meters to cross the road. Dogs and wolves do not jump this
23:21
far in one leap. Even larger animals like deer typically take several bounds to cross the road. Now, this creature
23:29
may have actually been what people refer to as a devil monkey. And I've heard several people refer to this crypted
23:37
before and they do come with various sizes, but um I'm just assuming that
23:42
this may have been what it was. Now, if you're enjoying tonight's presentation and want to hear more

24:07
Now, in this next account, in 1913, a Phoenix newspaper published a startling
24:12
letter from a rancher who claimed to have seen the infamous Hodag lurking near his property. Described as a
24:20
creature that was part wolf, part lion, and as large as a calf, his sightings
24:26
sparked plans for a midnight hunt on the Arizona frontier.
24:33
Now, this following this letter to the editor appeared in the Arizona Republican on Sunday, February 2nd,
24:39
1913. It discusses the sighting in the hunt for a hodag, a beast typically
24:45
described as the size of a large bulldog with two horns and a series of spikes
24:50
along its spine. Now, while residents of Wisconsin have traditionally claimed the Hodag as their local monster, other
24:57
sightings have been reported nationwide.
25:04
Now, here's the account. Ever since I saw the article in your paper a few
25:09
Sundays ago, I have been on the lookout for that hoag you mentioned. Just last night, I saw him. My son and I
25:17
went out to a small null near my property, just as we had done several times before to see if the animal would
25:24
appear. About 9:30, my son said, "Dad, something is sniffing down there." When I looked,
25:31
there was a hodag. It was perfectly visible. We crept down toward him with a shotgun,
25:38
but he heard us coming and darted around the hill so quickly that I thought I may have mistaken and hadn't seen him at
25:46
all. However, my son said he saw him, so I'm confident I did, too.
25:51
We didn't get a perfect look at him as we were positioned above him, but in the light, we could see that he was about
25:57
the size of a yearling calf and had a tawny color. We noticed his short front legs on the
26:04
upside on the uphill side and his larger legs as he ran away. His paws resembled
26:10
those of a mountain line, but he looked more like a giant wolf. We planned to gather some neighbors and who live about
26:17
six miles over the hills and try to capture that critter next Wednesday night.
26:24
So, uh, this was on Sycamore Ranch, Creek Ranch outside
26:30
of Phoenix. So, um, I don't know what they caught. There was never I never
26:35
could find a followup to that. Uh, but like I said before, hodags are
26:42
primarily known to be creatures from Wisconsin. And I'm not even sure that's
26:47
what he saw, but back in 1913, I guess that's what they thought it was. So,
26:53
we'll go with that for now. In this next account, in May 2022, a
27:01
retired US veteran driving through the mountains of eastern Turkey claimed to see a living jackaloupe
27:08
illuminated in his headlights. Described as a rabbit-like creature with antlers in the gate of a dog, it
27:14
challenged every notion of myth and reality he once held.
27:19
Now, a US military veteran had claimed he observed a flesh and blood jackaloupe in his headlights while driving on a
27:25
mountain road in Turkeykey's eastern Antia region, specifically in Malakia
27:32
province. In May 2022, a retired US military veteran contacted Legend of America to
27:40
share his encounter. He says, "Greetings. I want to say that a jackal loop panana isn't mythical or
27:47
extinct. Unfortunately, I didn't have a camera with me, but I am currently in Melatia,
27:53
Turkey. Three nights ago, I was driving down a treacherous mountain road at about 30 kilometers per hour when
28:00
something came down the hill and onto the road. at night. Excuse me. At first, I thought it was a rock, so I slammed on
28:06
the brakes, but then it hit my headlights. I had never seen anything like this
28:12
before. It was the most fascinating creature I'd ever encountered. Naturally, I was very curious about what
28:18
kind of animal it was. It was approximately three foot tall at the back, ran like a dog, but looked like a
28:25
rabbit, and had miniature antler rack on its head, which would make the biggest and most majestic buck deer jealous.
28:33
So, when I got home, I decided to look this creature up online, wondering if it was exclusive to the region of the
28:39
world. What I found was an overwhelming response of it's fake, legends, myths, and cryptozoolological and a a
28:47
scientific term often used to dismiss things as fake. However, one collaboration site caught
28:54
my attention. They claimed that all horns grown on a rabbit are cancerous and not made of calcium, stating that
29:01
they are actually tumorous material. While this site is correct in saying that tubers can be cancers, they're
29:08
always misshapen, saggy, and unappealing in appearance. What I saw had regal
29:13
looking calcified antlers. So, I guess I am officially labeled as one of those nutcases and embellished
29:19
storytellers. But I know what I saw. It was very clear with nothing obstructing
29:25
my view. There was no fog and my headlights lit up nicely. So, maybe it
29:31
was a jackaloupe. I don't know.
29:37
So, in this next account, high in the frozen Alps, two Swiss soldiers guarding a remote antenna came face to face with
29:44
an inexplicable visitor. A lone woman stood motionless in the Zubzero
29:49
wilderness, silent and unmooded before vanishing into the woods with inhuman speed.
29:55
A Swiss Army company was in the Alps installing a radio antenna when a mysterious woman showed up in the cold,
30:01
remote area. Strangely, she was not dressed for the frigid weather, yet she seemed unaffected by it. This incident occurred
30:10
while I was doing my army service in Switzerland in the Alps. I'm not allowed
30:15
to discuss specifics of the case or the mission, but I'll try to keep things clear. My company had installed an
30:23
enormous antenna that needed to be guarded by two soldiers day and night. We were stationed on top of a hill far
30:29
from any city and close to the vast forest. At 1,800 hours, I had just
30:35
started my six-hour watch with another soldier. Everything went smoothly. We passed the time smoking cigarettes and
30:41
keeping ourselves occupied until our watch ended at midnight. Then we received a call from a superior
30:48
who informed us that one of the soldiers scheduled for the next watch couldn't come. So, one of us had to stay for
30:54
another six hours in temperatures of minus20 degrees C. We flipped the coin
30:59
to decide who would stay from midnight to 6:00 in the morning. Unfortunately, I lost and I was left waiting for the
31:06
other soldier to join me for the night watch. They sent another soldier, but to be
31:11
honest, he wasn't the most reliable as I knew he would likely sleep through the night when I saw him climbing the hill
31:17
with his sleeping bag. And that's precisely what happened. He settled into the tent and fell asleep. It turned out
31:24
to be the coldest, longest night of my life, but nothing extraordinary happened during that time. Now, the weird part
31:31
occurred in the morning. We received another call from our superior forming guest that we had an NBC, which is a
31:37
nuclear biological chemical chemical exercise. This meant we had to wear our
31:43
anti-chemical suits, including gas mask all day long. I was frustrated and
31:48
exhausted as I couldn't sleep in that suit, and sleep was my only reward for a grueling 12-hour watch. And when I
31:56
stepped out of the tent, I saw something that still terrifies me to this day. A
32:01
woman was standing next to the antenna, not moving. She was about 5 m in front of the tent. The rising sun was behind
32:08
her, so I couldn't clearly see her face. I know she was a woman because she had long hair and noticeable curves.
32:15
Remember, we were in the middle of nowhere and this lady was standing there appearing frozen in place. I started to
32:22
panic and called the other soldier over to show him what I was seeing. And to my surprise, he wasn't scared at all. He
32:28
told her to leave because he wasn't she wasn't allowed in the area. But she didn't budge. She remained there
32:34
apparently looking at us or at least in our direction. I was confused. How could a woman ignore
32:41
two soldiers telling her to leave a restricted area? I mean, this is Switzerland. The army may not be that
32:47
intimidating, but people usually wouldn't stick around in a situation like this, especially 6:00 in the
32:52
morning. What was she doing there? Clearly not dressed for the cold. How long had she
32:59
been standing there? And how had she had been how had she arrived? I didn't hear any footsteps, so
33:05
questions raced through my mind at that moment. The other soldier, without thinking twice, began walking toward
33:11
her. Just as he was almost reached her, she took off her she took off running
33:16
really fast into the forest. I watched her disappear deep into the trees. Now,
33:22
I consider myself a rational thinker. I question everything and I believe there's usually a logical explanation.
33:28
For me, the most plausible explanation is that she was just a jogger given the way she was bolted into the forest.
33:35
However, nearly 3 minutes had passed between the moment I first saw her and when she started running away. 3 minutes
33:42
of standing completely still while looking at me, dressed in tight clothing and minus 20° weather and all alone in
33:49
the middle of nowhere. Thank goodness I had someone with me, otherwise no one would have believed me. Now, this um and
33:58
there's a note to this. After re after I did research Swiss and German mythology,
34:04
I believe that she was a supernatural being, she might have either been an elf
34:09
or a Witcher. The description is more indicative of a Witcher according to the
34:14
legends would speak of beings both male and female reported through the apps for centuries. So, uh I know there's a TV
34:22
show on Netflix called Witcher. I don't know what a Witcher really is. Uh, I
34:27
always thought it was just a human being, which this may have just been well. And uh, but was it a Witcher? Who
34:33
knows? So, in this next account, in August of
34:40
2024, a young farm worker in a sugarcane field was attacked by an unseen force that left him unconscious and scared.
34:49
What began as the ordinary night's work turned into a terrifying confrontation
34:54
with something dark, shapeless, and beyond explanation.
35:00
A young worker whose name is being withheld for privacy reasons experienced in an incident that defied logical
35:06
explanation sparked fear among his co-workers. This incident occurred on August 31st,
35:12
2024. Now, on a night like any other on the farm, the young man was operating a
35:18
tractor harvesting sugarcane. Nearby, a co-orker was driving a truck when suddenly something unimaginable
35:24
happened. According to the victim's account, a dark, shapeless figure appeared out of nowhere. The young man
35:31
decided to get off the tractor to urinate and watched as the entity fell from above the ground uh from above to
35:38
the ground and took form of a person. When he tried to return to the tractor,
35:44
he felt an invisible attack. He was violently dragged several meters from
35:49
the vehicle, leaving him unconscious and face down in the ground. Now, his
35:54
partner, not seeing him in the usual place, stopped the truck and went to his aid, finding him in that state.
36:01
After regaining consciousness, the young man, visibly shaken and trembling, told his partner what had happened. He
36:07
described how something invisible had attacked him, hit him and dragged him with unhuman force.
36:14
He showed signs of pain on his body and when he lifted his clothes, he found in inexplicable marks that showed the
36:20
violent encounter. He said it was some something flat and dark that looked like the shape of a person.
36:28
The marks on his body aid a disturbing element to the story, generating more
36:33
questions than answers. The other workers when asked what they had seen only receded to helpless tears in
36:40
response. This event left a deep impression on all those who worked on the farm. The nature of the attack
36:47
generated fear and caution among the workers who now face their daily task with a mixture of anxiety and curiosity.
36:55
Some say the fight was against the goblin that usually lurks on the farms. Others say it was a yukimar.
37:03
Others the familiar the many others say the young man now
37:09
has the mark of the harvest. Now yukimer
37:14
it's it's like a a goblin but it's smaller and it kind of looks like a
37:19
small Bigfoot actually. But uh I've had several stories about yukr in um in
37:26
Hispanic America, me and down in South America. So maybe that's what it was. I want to thank Tony
37:33
for his donation. Thank you very much, Tony. Now, in this last account, in May 2019,
37:42
a late night drive through rainy San Antonio turned into a chilling brush with the unknown. A small black
37:49
humanlike figure ran along the highway, shifting between two legs and four, its
37:54
wide eyes and sharp teeth catching the witness's headlights.
38:00
The witness states this happened on May 11th, 2019 on my way home from work. I
38:06
live in central Texas, San Antonio to be exact. The whole incident lasts about 30
38:11
to 45 seconds, maybe a minute, but it felt pretty quick and surreal.
38:17
I was driving on a short stretch of elevated highways Parkway if you know the city.
38:24
traveling northbound between 281 cutting over to 35. I was
38:30
passing the airport just past Thousand Oaks where the highway straightens out for a few miles before sloping to ground
38:36
level. It was raining and there weren't many street lights on this part of the highway. I was traveling 60 to 65 mph.
38:44
My car is a little sedan, so I had a low view of the road. I was the only one on
38:49
the highway in either direction aside from a pair of headlights several miles behind me. In the distance ahead, maybe
38:56
half mile or so, I saw what looked like a man, a human outline, running or jogging on the right hand shoulder of
39:03
the road. Aside from it being nearly 1:00 a.m. and on an elevated stretch of road, I didn't
39:09
think it was too odd. There are lots of drunks in my city and
39:14
strange things have happened. Nonetheless, I moved from the right to the left lane just in case. Now, as I approached, I
39:22
became aware of the silhouette was not getting taller as you would expect as your perception shifts. Instead,
39:30
it stayed the same height. I estimate it was about four to five 3 to four feet tall since his head was about the same
39:37
height as my car's hood. I slowed down to about 50 to 55 mph and
39:43
stared at the back of this thing, trying to make out details through my rain soaked windshield.
39:49
As soon as I got close enough for this thing to be fully in my headlights, it dropped on all fours as if it was trying
39:54
to mimic an animal. I know this was not any animal I've
40:00
seen. Its size was that of a medium-sized coyote, but it was running in distinctly like a person attempting
40:06
to run like an animal. Its hindquarters were raised in the air and I could clearly make out his buttocks and its
40:13
legs kicked out sideways. If you've ever seen documentaries about feral children,
40:19
it'll give you an idea the gate it was attempting to that I'm attempting to describe. The only thing is that no
40:25
human I've seen could run on all fours at the speed this thing was going.
40:30
The creature was entirely naked and oily, black and smooth.
40:36
The ring glistened on its skin with a sheen like wet black marble or cy or
40:41
cidian. I can make out muscle tone and everything as this thing clipped along.
40:48
Now, as it dropped the two legs, it lost some speed either intentionally or simply due to the change in its gate. It
40:55
was running at about the same pace as a person would sprint. I passed this thing and looked and I it
41:02
looked over its left shoulder toward me. Its face was flat with a flat wide nose.
41:08
It had big eyes. I could see the whites and dilated dark pupils. There was no
41:14
eye shine, which I think is unusual. Just those eyes against the black of its skin, though. It never looked directly
41:21
in my head like beams, so it may have been insconsequential.
41:26
It opened its mouth at one point as it was looking at me as it passed. His teeth were flat and white like a human,
41:33
but with larger and prominent canines. It had hands and feet like a person. I
41:39
couldn't make out any genitalia, but it was distinctly male in the general appearance. It would best be described a
41:46
swimmer's build. Its body was proportionate to that of another human, just scaled down. No crazy long limbs or
41:54
anything like that. I fumbled with my phone intending to take a photo, but to be honest, it was
42:00
so enam I was so enamored and excited and trying to take as much detail as possible while driving on a dark rainy
42:06
road. I also didn't think a photo would show because of the dark rainy weather
42:12
and the glass of my car wind windows. But now I'm seriously thinking of
42:17
getting a dash cam. I hope the car behind me saw this thing as it was pretty obvious.
42:23
I hope I've provided enough detail for an accurate report. I have no idea what I just saw, but I'm glad I saw it. It
42:31
didn't seem malicious. It looked scared, like it was not happy to be there and just wanting to get off the highway. I
42:39
got a very distinct impression that only reason it dropped all fours was an attempt to mimic an animal and draw less
42:46
attention to itself. He didn't have far to go until the exit, but there was a well-lit gas station and
42:52
intersection there. Now, aside from a few apartment buildings and scattered industrial areas, the only other things
42:59
along that stretch or a small amusement park in an air in the airport. There is an old abandoned concrete plant in the
43:06
area next to the highway. Again, if you're local to the area, you know exactly where I'm talking about. That
43:12
was my first thought as to where it would have come from. It was heading away from this though and towards a
43:18
populated area so it doesn't make much sense. I'm still just floored what I of the
43:24
thing I just saw. I'm totally open to providing more details, but I believe this be pretty concise. Now, the witness
43:31
did follow up with a little more information. I couldn't make out much detail, but what I described its height,
43:37
gate, color, and muscle tone. Aside from when it turned its head, all I really saw were the wide eyes and teeth. The
43:45
whole thing happened pretty quickly. As I got close enough to pass, it turned its face toward me, so I couldn't make
43:51
out a profile. This thing was dark black, and I honestly don't remember being able to
43:58
make out the nose or ears. I'm sure they're they were there, though. As I
44:03
said, it looked like a person just scaled down. Now,
44:09
the description is very similar to the Malaysian Iran Pendac, which is what
44:15
they call the oily man. It's literally a man that is black and looks like he's
44:20
got oil covered in oil. Uh I've had several of those reports over the years
44:26
and I and since Ken Ghart lived in San Antonio at the time, I gave it to him to
44:33
look into it, but I never heard anything back about it. So, uh, don't know what it was. So, that was the
44:40
last account. So, please use all caps when you post your questions in the chat
44:47
and we will try to answer them for you. Uh, Tim Moman sent a Phantom Monsters
44:54
Radio gift membership. Thank you.
45:03
Any questions, folks?
45:08
Being Halloween, I thought you may have some questions here.
45:15
Damn it. Have you ever heard of a green mist about an acre in size that distorts
45:20
time? I've heard a similar not necessarily
45:27
green but um you know I've heard you know I've heard
45:33
similar type uh accounts from people who have visited Gettysburg early in the morning when the fog is
45:39
still there where they seem that they said that they uh time seemed to stand still.
45:45
Um, and I've heard in other accounts, too, but as far as being greened, I don't know. And I don't know if it has
45:51
anything to do with it, but uh maybe it is something like that. Uh, Tim Moan just said another uh gift membership.
46:00
So, there you go, folks. Take advantage of it. Thank you, Tim Moman.
46:08
Jose Sanchez, are th those oily beings anything similar to the pomero? I don't
46:14
know what a palm rose is. Uh pomearos or what it is. Um like I said, it it's what
46:20
people describe as orangap. Uh the oily man they call it. Um you
46:27
might want to check and look it up. I've done a couple stories about it in the past, but it's this guy who's usually
46:34
naked and looks like he's got he's got black oil all over his body. It's really weird.
46:41
Uh, it's part of a folktale, I imagine, in Malaysia or in Indonesia, but um, a
46:47
lot of people see it and I have seen pictures of it, so I don't know what it is.
46:58
Alistair B L, do you prefer digital photography or old camera with film for
47:03
paranormal photography? Honestly, I would prefer regular film.
47:11
um because it seems to pick up anomalies sometimes, especially when you're doing uh psychic photography or or something
47:19
else uh when you're trying to pick up energy. Digital cameras don't pick that
47:25
up as well. Uh they don't pick up a well either. I don't know if it it just
47:30
filters it out or what it does, but I'd rather use regular film.
47:39
Damn it. It is rumored that a dog man prows the area of the Cedar Rapids River
47:45
in Mohawk City Park. Uh what what where is this? Cedar Rapids
47:54
or is it where where is it is exactly?
48:07
Anybody got an answer to that? Let me know.
48:12
Uh Dagnam is rumor same. It's the same
48:17
question. Any
48:28
other questions, folks? Uh,
48:35
Grand Dodger 12. Uh, Lon, where do werewolves what do
48:41
werewolves say at the end of their YouTube videos? Like and describe. Yeah. Okay, I get it.
48:48
Interesting.
48:58
Barbara Moore, I see in the questions, what is an albat? Uh, it's a small Bigfoot like creature
49:08
that is known to inhabit uh both sides of the Susuana River in southern south
49:16
central Pennsylvania. Uh ask you can ask um ask Mara, she'll
49:22
tell you. She does the uh Albatich Festival. Uh she didn't this year, but she she's a volunteer for that past
49:29
several years, so she'd probably give you a better description of it.
49:36
Cedar Rapids. So it's Cedar Rapids. Is it Michigan?
49:49
Anything else, folks?
49:56
Okay. Well, I want to thank you all for showing up on this holiday evening. I
50:01
don't know. Is is it Halloween even a holiday? I don't know. But anyway, uh thanks again for coming in. If you
50:08
have a sighting, uh, if you can contact me at lonstrickerfammonsters.com or you can go to famsmonsters.com
50:17
and submit a report. Uh, we have a we have a link there so
50:23
you can submit your report. We have a form for you to fill out. Uh, and also if you want to receive a newsletter, a
50:29
