‘MONSTROUS’ VACATIONS! BEYOND THE HOLIDAY SUN & FUN! | Join Us - LIVE CHAT | Q&A (REAL TRAVEL HORROR!)
Over the years, I have received many shocking and unimaginable encounter reports from people on holiday who were simply trying to relax and enjoy their limited time away from home and work.
Tourists and vacationers must be wary of local lore and tradition, just in case they run up against something that's beyond their comprehension or their willingness to perceive.
Some of the world's most popular travel destinations have enduring mysteries that still perplex researchers and investigators to this day.
Taking a trip to a new destination is exciting, as well as a bit uneasy. Especially if it leads to a frightening or traumatic incident that the tourist wasn’t expecting.

the chat and you have a question please use all caps and we'll try to get to each one of them after the
4:04
presentation so this first witness states that in July of
4:12
2011 my wife and I were on a short vacation in Kate May New Jersey
4:19
we were staying at a B&B on Beach Avenue with a view of the sea i was asleep when
4:25
I was awakened by something i opened my eyes and saw two beings standing at the foot of the bed it was dark but there
4:33
was adequate light coming in from the street for me to see them very clearly i estimate that they were between 4 and
4:40
1/2 to 5t tall because I could only see them from the waist up they were
4:45
identical in every way they were wearing black or dark green form-fitting outfits
4:50
that resembled scuba diving dry suits these included snug hoods that
4:57
extended from the back of their necks over the top of their skulls now on their upper chest was a
5:03
rectangular golder bronzecoled plate about 4x 5 in with two rows of inscribed
5:10
symbols or buttons on them it resembled an instrument touchpad of some sort
5:16
they were no more than six feet from my face and they were both staring right at me it was a cool appraising
5:25
look it's the uh look a cat might give you their cranium were very large
5:31
perhaps twice as large as of a man but it was their faces that got me
5:37
they had huge wraparound black eyes set above high cheekbones their skin
5:43
appeared coppery or orange in color i couldn't detect a well-defined mouth or
5:49
nose but along the rim of their jaw and down to their chins was some type of organ-like structure were they gills
5:56
manibles i'm not sure i couldn't see their hands so I I couldn't say how many digits they
6:03
had as I say I had a very clear view of them now when I realized that this was not a dream I propped myself up on my
6:10
elbows to get a better view strange but I felt no fear i was about to say
6:16
something when I get this very clear thought something is wrong he sees
6:21
us i suddenly became extremely sleepy i tried to fight the urge to lie back down
6:28
but it was no use i felt my eyes closing and that was it the next thing I knew it
6:34
was morning and I was awakened by the sunlight streaming in through the balcony door
6:40
now once my wife was awake I asked her how she had slept and she said she had the best night's sleep she had had in a
6:46
while no dreams this isn't the first time in my life that I've had what could be called
6:53
nocturnal visitations as a child and teenager they were very frequent and often often
7:00
terrifying as an adult they tapered off to the point where I chocked up my youthful experiences to dreams hormones
7:07
flights of fancy etc i had even stopped thinking about them but this is the first time as an adult
7:13
that I had such an unambiguous sighting of these creatures if one thing stands out it's
7:20
the sense of almost military precision and discipline that I got from them it's
7:26
hard to explain but I got the feeling that these were nononsense men who had a
7:32
job to do and followed orders to the letter they were not there to be my friend or
7:38
to tell me any of the universe's secrets they were under orders and would no sooner go against them than would one of
7:46
our own Navy Seals and one last thing they were extremely confident and felt no not the
7:52
slightest fear towards me i'm sure of that
8:00
now this next witness states "We don't know what we saw in the summer of 2014 we were in the
8:09
Dominican Republic staying at a locallyowned hotel it was a nice hotel but nothing luxurious in a very open air
8:17
sort of place we had gone out for dinner and enjoyed a bottle of wine but weren't
8:23
drunk or anything i'm reading in bed and my husband comes out of the bathroom completely
8:29
white-faced in shock uh there's a spider in the bathroom i look at him and laugh spiders
8:37
in Dominican Republic are big but nothing to freak over he looked like he had seen Satan himself by his expression
8:45
so I go into the bathroom all I see are four thick hairy orange
8:51
and black legs coming out of the the sink basin they were at least 10 inches long and at least as thick as pencils
8:59
very hairy from about 5t away and I could see the separate orange and black hairs i'm short so I couldn't see the
9:06
whole thing over the sink from the distance I was at there was a towel blocking direct view from the sink but
9:12
just by the legs I saw I knew I was looking at something almost two foot
9:17
long and definitely was a spider i calmly walked back to my
9:23
husband "did you see it did you see it?" I nodded and we leave the room to get
9:29
help from the front desk now our broken Spanish had the staffers in hysterical
9:34
laughter not to mention that they took as overreacting to tourists scared of a
9:39
little spider one staffer Jose came to look and it was gone so Jose tells us he has at
9:47
least three in his home which in in when I realize that these people either don't
9:53
believe me or don't understand what I'm saying i've lived in tropical climates
9:58
before there's no way in hell you'd share a home with a spider we saw so a
10:03
day later we have a normal spider infestation i go to the desk and ask for
10:09
bug spray the staffers are still laughing at our expense but the same guy Jose comes up with me with the
10:17
spray we are cleaning out up the spiders which were about 5 in or so daddy longle
10:23
typed he is surprised that I'm not sudden I'm suddenly not scared by these spiders
10:29
he asked why and I infor him that these spiders aren't what we saw the other night and I asked my I used my hands to
10:37
show him the size of what we saw his mouth dropped i've never heard of anything
10:43
like that in my entire life in the Dominican Republic but who knows what comes out of the
10:49
jungle now it wasn't until a little while later that my husband while
10:54
discussing discuss excuse me discussing Harry our pet name for the
11:00
spider realized that I had only seen half of it my estimate of a 10-in leg
11:06
plus 10 in leg for the total of about 20 in or two feet was severely off he saw
11:14
the whole body and the body minus legs was as wide as the entire hand a grown
11:19
man's hand so it's likely it likely was way bigger than the uh two twoft
11:27
diameter he also said that there were multiple big black eyes i have since gone on numerous
11:34
arachnid websites and have even contacted arachnologists to uh try and
11:41
identify what we saw most of them came back suggesting a Mexican spider i forget the name of it
11:47
now that might have somehow gotten to Dominican Republic in someone's leg
11:52
luggage but that spider is not what we saw what we saw was Spider
12:02
uh Spiderarus Rex
12:08
now this next witness states "I had debated some time on whether to submit this experience and
12:15
finally decided what the heck in August of 2012 my wife and I took a long
12:21
awaited trip to the Big Island Hawaii." The trip there was uneventful
12:27
left from Oklahoma City stopped at DFW then LAX and finally we arrived to Kona
12:32
International Airport we picked up our luggage grabbed the grabbed the rental and headed to the
12:39
resort upon arrival we found this resort to be very lovely and it was just as we
12:46
pictured check-in went smoothly and we were walked up the small path to our
12:52
condo two beds two baths a living room uh a huge lano uh full kitchen and
12:59
twoerson garden tub now after unpacking I noted it was
13:04
around 2:00 p.m we were exhausted as our flight left uh Oklahoma City the previous night we decided to take a nap
13:12
before starting our adventuring my wife laid down on the bed and I adjusted the
13:17
AC i walked into the bedroom from the hallway thermostat just as I stepped
13:23
into the room I heard a noise from the living room and it sound like somebody dropped a stack of magazines
13:31
i grudgingly walked into the living area to pick up a mess i couldn't find anything a skew there was a stack of
13:38
magazines on the small coffee table but they were on the table not the floor i
13:44
looked for a minute then just shrugged it off and I laid down on bed on the
13:50
bed i was almost asleep when I heard the bedroom door close i figured my wife
13:55
needed a drink i turned over to see her lying on the bed next to me now I immediately went into attack mode it was
14:02
2:15 p.m i jumped stethly out of the bed and grabbed my pocketk knife from the dresser i was trained to use a knife a
14:10
long time ago so I was confident I could stop an attacker unless they had a gun i
14:16
approached the door i It opened silently appeared out ready to strike nothing i
14:22
systematically searched the condo nothing i'm a reasonable fellow my wife
14:28
is very reasonable herself we decided the pressure from the AC switching on had had closed the
14:35
door i laid down again before my eyes the door began to close it silently and
14:43
gently shut until the mechanism was in contact with the door jam i laughed to
14:48
myself thinking of how I overreacted the door violently slammed itself shut i shot out of bed and
14:56
promptly opened the door i stood and watched it for 5 minutes it didn't budge
15:02
i walked back to bed and sat down the door rapically closed slamming itself
15:08
shut i remember getting the chills my wife leaned in behind me and peered at
15:13
the door i stood and blurted out loud "In the name of Jesus Christ be gone from here you are not welcome get out."
15:22
I immediately felt the room begin to warm things were normal once again it
15:28
was 2:23 p.m my wife and I prayed for protection and finally slept
15:34
peacefully we are both people of great faith we knew that whatever it was had
15:39
been forced out i believe our faith was keeping it at bay we were there for 14
15:45
days nothing further occurred until the last day of the trip it was around 1000 p.m when I was packing and watching a
15:52
series called Haunted Highway my wife was already asleep i finished packing
15:58
and lay down the television was concealed inside a large built-in
16:03
wardrobe the door in front of the television opened and lay flat against the wall there was even a small latch
16:10
that kept it in place and it had not moved the entire time we had been there
16:17
i watched it slowly close shut and latch i calmly got up and opened the door so I
16:24
could finish my program i stepped back and the door began to rapidly close i
16:31
jumped forward caught the door and said "Get out." I pushed the door open again
16:36
latched it in place and laid down i prayed again and went to sleep i had very violent and frightening
16:44
dreams all night i woke up exhausted and found the wardrobe was still open as I had left it we loaded our car and left
16:52
that place behind i was glad to be on the P plane headed home i still break
16:58
out in goosebumps and my hair stands on end each time I recount and relive the
17:03
experience my wife and I believe in the supernatural but this was a first for us
17:08
i believe that what was in our condo was demonic its whole purpose was to shake
17:13
our faith all I succeeded in doing was making us stronger on a side note I had
17:19
been to Aahu many times because my sister used to live there i never experienced anything like that before
17:26
when I shared the experience with my sister she just sat there silently she looked at her husband and they both said
17:32
that they had similar experiences when they first moved to Wahoo they hadn't told anyone because
17:38
they were afraid of ridicule now Native Hawaiians have long believed in spirits that would
17:44
attacks who were visiting the island now the Halley thing that's um that's
17:52
kind of a euthanism that the natives call vacationers you know I've heard similar
17:58
stories from people who have traveled to Hawaii actually an NFL player who was in
18:04
Hawaii for the pro boss sever years ago relayed to me encounters that he and
18:10
other player had with a less than friendly spirit in a hotel suite and to
18:15
make a long story short they didn't get much sleep during their stay and vowed to never return to Hawaii maybe the ven
18:22
the vengeful native entities are getting a little payback for past
18:30
atrocities now a reader contacted me about their family
18:35
trip to Point Pleasant West Virginia and the TNT igloos to gather unexplained
18:42
evidence like many investigators the flapping wing sounds were
18:48
noted he states "Hello Mr strickler i just watched your Unsolved Mysteries episode i thought you'd be interested in
18:55
this ep in this incident i went to Point Pleasant West Virginia
19:00
in August 2015 with my hubby and and kids we traveled going to hide places
19:07
haunted etc we found that some call the TNT igloos at the old West Virginia
19:14
ordinance um plant uh we were on a back dirt road the sun was setting an odd car
19:21
would drive by ca slowly as we were getting our gear ready i joked about the
19:27
scary movies you see and how the locals hate out of towners and take it out on them that people go missing on dark
19:35
captured okay back to reality time to press on it's getting dark we got our
19:41
flashlights and EMF meters i went over the directions I saw on the internet
19:46
pond to the left look for an opening on the right of the trail there were so
19:52
many weeds and overgrowth that it was hard to find then one of my kids yelled "There it is." I saw a pathway about 20
19:58
ft long to my right the weeds were shaped like a tunnel probably from us tourists pulling and lifting them and to
20:06
get through all four all four of us girls would have to duck and run uh
20:12
through quickly after my hubby checks for spiders and webs of course now we got into the TNTA glue and
20:21
you could see a ton of graffiti and garbage and a dirt bottom was pitch black at this point and only the light
20:28
from our dollar store flashlights we tried to take a photo with our tablet but they were all black
20:36
we started talking and playing with our Echo then I told everyone "Quiet I hear
20:41
something." We listened hearing and we all heard a noise my kids started
20:48
getting scared my hubby a big man he is said "It's time to go now." I didn't
20:54
want to leave i was there to explore my family left me running back to the car i was alone in the igloo when
21:03
I got back to in the car we drove off i asked everyone what it sounded like to
21:08
them the noise in and around the igloo everyone said wings flapping big wings
21:13
flapping above now my daughter's sensitive she said that she saw a shadow man in the
21:20
woods in a weird orb well we came and left in one piece mission
21:25
accomplished now you know I've gathered various EVP recordings from many trips to the
21:33
West Virginia Ordinance Works the flapping wing sound has been reported by several investigators over time
21:40
i have heard it as well and I believe that there's a very strong guardian spirit and I've talked about this before
21:45
of a native origin at that location over time summoned the wing humanoid for
21:54
protection now a an Ohio woman and her mother are spending a weekend at a
22:00
secluded cabin near Houston Woods State Park during their stay they witnessed a
22:06
yelloweyed glimmerman in the trees mortal clown thank you for your donation
22:12
much appreciated she states "I my mom traveled to Oxford Ohio for a long
22:20
weekend stay in a secluded cabin near Houston State Park that forever changed
22:25
our perception of reality the owner had remodeled the cabin several months before
22:34
the cabin was built into the side of a hill with a garage constructed
22:39
underneath now the cabin was equipped with a screen deck that from the outside looked as though it was off a second
22:46
floor but actually it was off the main floor of the residence the deck held a table and
22:51
chairs as well as a generously sized hot tub the way the deck is lifted it had a
22:57
beautiful beautiful view i turned the jacuzzi on to get warmed up
23:03
and ready for us to enjoy i was in the hot tub while my mother was sitting at the table my mom held her finger up and
23:11
said "Do you hear that?" I didn't hear anything over the bubbling water mom
23:16
used her phone light to look around and didn't see anything in the dark of the night a few minutes later I got out and
23:24
dried off sitting at the table with my mom to drink some hot cocoa i asked her what was wrong she shook her
23:31
head saying the four sounds just stopped or kind of stopped "oh my gosh you're
23:36
right," I replied as I realized I no longer heard the crickets or frogs chirping after an hour or so we decided
23:43
to go to bed so the next day we decided to uh explore the area around the cabin and
23:49
noticed the ground was damp from an overnight shower we walked about 100 ft or so from the
23:56
cabin and mom noticed two strange footprints having three toes she pointed
24:01
out to me they were a couple feet away from each other we spent another hour
24:07
looking around and then headed back for lunch so that night as we enjoyed the
24:12
hot tub we heard a loud screeching scream come from somewhere outside the cabin i jumped up and turned out the
24:20
light on the deck so we couldn't be seen and we would have
24:25
better view outside tubs so that we could hear better as well soon we heard
24:30
branches breaking and other movement but the strangest part was that the sounds were coming from the forest canopy not
24:37
from the ground it sounded as if something heavy was climbing a tree not far from the
24:44
cabin we both stood back against the wall close to the door that goes inside
24:50
we could hear something really big but couldn't see anything as we were getting ready to go
24:56
inside we saw a set of yellow glowing eyes looking at us from a branch level
25:02
with the deck about 30t away we ran inside slammed the door and praying we
25:08
were safe not sure if we should call someone we decided to sit inside after making
25:15
sure the doors were all locked we stayed up for another hour and I didn't hear
25:20
anything else so we just went to bed so the next morning after breakfast we went outside to look around the cabin
25:26
where we thought the noises had been coming from other than a few large branches lying on the trail we didn't
25:33
see anything out of the ordinary we decided to go on with our day and drove over to the lake after some more
25:39
sightseeing and dinner we went back to the cabin and went out to the deck and played cards over coffee
25:46
it was dusk so we could still see a fair distance now as we were talking mom
25:51
noticed everything had gone quiet again she asked me if I noticed nature
25:57
sounds had stopped i listened and realized mom was right soon the sound of the branches breaking started again and
26:03
this time was moving closer to the cabin turning out the light and watching the trees as the noise got closer we
26:11
were shocked at what we saw the branches were moving as if something large was on them but it didn't look like anything
26:17
was there but then we got a glimpse of what we had been hearing in the trees was
26:24
what looked like a large human shape but it was nearly invisible it looked like a moving
26:31
heatwave shaped like a tall person we watched it in disbelief as the large
26:36
entity moved through the trees we didn't want to move so it wouldn't see
26:41
us not knowing its intentions after a few minutes it had moved away from our
26:46
location we waited a couple minutes after not hearing anything and stepped
26:51
inside we discussed leaving at night instead of in the morning but it was getting late once we packed everything
26:58
up it would be dark so we decided to stay until the morning we gathered all our belongings so everything would be
27:04
ready to come morning and uh went to bed i woke up to use the bathroom at about
27:10
4:00 a.m and I was I was on my way back to bed I heard what sounded like loud
27:16
footsteps still being kind of groggy I was trying to decipher where the sounds were coming from and when I realized
27:22
they were coming from the roof I ran in and woke mom up whispering
27:28
what I had heard she sat on the couch quietly praying and talking until morning light when I peeked outside
27:35
after not anything for not hearing anything for some time i saw nothing so we quickly grabbed our belongings and
27:41
put them in the car as we were getting into the car I saw a dirty three-toed print on the hood
27:48
of the car as I drove away I looked towards the back of the cabin and saw the creature's
27:54
yellow eyes staring back i drove away as quickly as safely as
28:00
possible i did some research once settled back at home and tried to find
28:05
some answers to what had we had witnessed and found several reports from around the US and state parks and other
28:12
wooded areas of a similar being that had been dubbed Glimmerman the title referring to an odd
28:18
nearly invisible quality of creature this was a trip I will never forget
28:28
now an experiencer recalls her encounter with a reptilian when she was a young
28:35
girl while on vacation and visiting Mount Capulan New Mexico she experienced other strange
28:42
encounters as well hi Lon i just watched your recent
28:49
podcast about reptilians ready is a term that has shown up in many stories about close
28:56
encounters of the third kind i'm very much on my guard for when this word
29:01
shows up because I have had an encounter with which the word was spoken to me by a
29:08
reptilian in August 1959 my parents and I were traveling to Colorado Springs on
29:14
a vacation this was before my 11th birthday on August 19th for some unknown
29:20
reason dad decided that we would stop and visit Mount Capulan an extinct volcano in the northeast corner of New
29:29
Mexico mom stayed in the tour center while Dad and I climbed up the side of the volcano and down into the
29:35
crater then we returned to the center i had a desperate need to use the
29:41
bathroom now as I was walking through the center I felt myself stomping midstep
29:46
i felt my mind lift out of my body and drop straight through the floor how deep
29:53
i I couldn't imagine my drop ended in an arched tunnel deep underground the
29:59
tunnel was lighted with orange lights standing in front of me was a smalish being or entity that I now know
30:07
to identify as a reptilian i would estimate its height as somewhere around 4t tall was wearing a
30:14
gray color robe with long sleeves and a hood the most I could see of its face
30:19
was intense oversized dark eyes in its left hand a number of fingers unclear
30:25
but a thumb it held something that we today would describe as an iPod or the
30:31
like in its right hand it held some type of stylus it looked straight at me and with
30:38
mind-to- mind talk said "What are you doing here we're not ready for you
30:43
yet then my mind zoomed back up through the ground and back into my head where I
30:48
stood in the tourist center immediately I double timed it to the ladies room and got relief just in
30:55
time since then I have lived wondering what we had that we had uh the entity or
31:03
entity had represented uh or would it be ready for me i have
31:08
had encounters with UFO related entities like the MIB dressed in a black warrant
31:14
officer uniform driving a yellow Mini Cooper on a military base near uh
31:21
Clevatic Iceland he told me go home and pointed towards the southwest in North
31:27
America anyway maybe the aliens and entities have visited me and I don't remember but thanks for letting me tell
31:33
my story now this next account's got a little bit
31:40
of French in it so I I I do know some French but
31:45
uh please excuse my my translation and my
31:52
pronunciation now a married couple is on a 7-day Caribbean cruise now at the Port
31:59
of Call in St martin they took a private catamaran to a small island where they f
32:05
where they find a old gold ring soon afterwards things become
32:17
interesting the witness tells me "Hello my husband and I had an experience that
32:22
we just cannot explain and associated work suggested I write you so that you and your readers may be
32:29
able to help us comprehend what has happened and if we are in any
32:36
peril in autumn 2007 my husband and I took a 7-day cruise vacation that left
32:41
from Port Canaveral Florida with Portal in the Eastern Caribbean we needed a break because of
32:48
work stress and the constant activity endured by us helping to plan our daughter's wedding the cruise was going
32:55
along nicely and as anticipated now the final port was Philberg St
33:02
martins i was looking forward to this destination since my sister had visited there
33:08
previously we have arranged for a catamaran sale as part of our dayong
33:13
stop at the port now after walking around the town for a few hours we reached the tour
33:19
company that provided the catamaran ride to a small island a few miles from
33:25
Philipsburg it was a delightful excursion to and from the island with food and drink as well as pleasant
33:30
interaction with the crew but there was one aspect of this small trip that needs to be
33:37
emphasized my husband and I took a walk on the beach of this small island I forget the name of the island and for a
33:44
while decide to take a breather on a small outcrop of rocks we sat and talked about dinner that
33:50
evening in hoped we'd be able to be seated at a a nice local restaurant since we had not made a
33:56
reservation as we talked my husband noticed something between several of the rocks he reached down to pull up a large
34:05
ring that looked very old and seemed to be made of gold we examined it and noticed that the
34:12
design on the face was that of a bird and what looked like a lightning bolt there was an inscription inside the band
34:20
that read may voir a vevu mano 1723 which re
34:27
translates into my heart sails with you mano
34:35
1723 my husband who is a high school history teacher speculated that it may have belonged to a French privateeer at
34:41
one time he said that he waited and that he he'd
34:46
wait and have it looked at when we returned home to Chicago he placed in his pocket and we continued with our day
34:54
we spent the late evening in our cabin relaxing as our cabin balcony on our cabin balcony and and conversing about
35:01
our trip so the next morning there was a knock on our cabin door i looked at the
35:09
clock it was 7:15 a.m my husband got up and answered the door he was talking to
35:15
our cabin steward whose voice I recognized we invited him inside but he
35:21
was quite distressed he explained that the couple in the cabin beside ours had a terrible
35:26
experience the previous evening at they insisted that we were responsible oh we were very surprised by
35:34
the information because we had never met this couple the cabin steward explained
35:39
that the couple did not want to cause trouble but they insisted that they talk to us we agreed to meet
35:47
them about an hour later after we had showered and had some breakfast we walked next door to the couple's cabin
35:54
the cabin stew accomp a young woman answered the door
35:59
introduced herself to us and asked that we sit down she was very nervous i asked
36:05
if anyone else would be talking to us she explained that her companion was
36:10
very wary of us and wanted to avoid our presence my husband and I looked at each
36:15
other in amazement what had we done to incite fear in this couple a few seconds later my husband
36:23
motioned for me to look at the dresser i turned and looked the ring we had found
36:29
the previous day was on their dresser my husband turned to the young woman and
36:35
asked "Does this ring belong to you?" She started to cry then she shouted
36:40
"Take it back and leave." My husband stood up and said "Wait one second." As he turned towards
36:47
the door and walked out I knew where he was going he was looking for the ring in our cabin i looked at the young woman
36:54
and said "Look what's going on here?" She didn't
36:59
answer the cabin stewart suspected what was happening and said "If there is a theft I need to report it." I asked him
37:07
to wait until my husband returned soon after my husband walked back into the cabin and said "It's gone." The young
37:14
woman looked up and said "Yeah we took it last night." After assuring her that
37:19
we would not report or prosecute the theft she calmed down and explained what had happened
37:25
the young woman stated that the previous evening she and her companion were walking back to their cabin when they
37:32
noticed my husband and I were getting ready to enter our cabin my husband had reached into his pocket to retrieve the
37:38
key card and when he did the ring somehow came out and fell to the floor
37:43
neither one of us had noticed it but the couple both saw it hit the floor and bounce over to the opposite wall after
37:50
we had entered our cabin the couple picked up the ring and decided it was theirs
37:56
now as we continued to describe as she continued to describe what had happened
38:01
she became very emotional as tears rolled down her face she explained that after they had gone to sleep the cabin
38:08
lit up as bright as the morning sun so bright that it woke both of them then
38:14
they noticed deep horrific growling sounds coming from across the cabin near the sofa
38:20
as they watched a woman in a billowy pink dress began to manifest before them
38:26
they were terrified unable able to speak or move the apparition moved towards
38:31
them and hovered above the bed as its bright yellow eyes gazed upon them a
38:37
voice rang out "Don Mier Sonu," and said it again and translated
38:45
as "Give my lord his ring the spectre continued to speak the same
38:52
words until it finally faded away and the room turned dark now take the ring and leave i beg
38:59
you not to report this i looked at the cabin stewart he was in shock holding a
39:04
rosary and praying under his breath my husband said "Let's go." He grabbed the
39:09
ring and we walked back to our cabin we talked about the ring and what
39:14
we would do with it we contemplated throwing it back into the ocean then we uh wondered what there if there
39:21
was historical value and if we had to donate we could donate to a museum or maybe a university so that was 5 months
39:28
ago and we still possess the ring my husband said that he would like to have it researched and but has not done
39:36
anything as of yet the ring is in a safety deposit box and will remain there
39:42
just in case some of the young woman's story was true and I never received a followup from the
39:49
witnesses so I guess they still got the ring in the uh the safety deposit box and that was a while ago
39:56
so quite a creepy story so this next county man and his
40:02
family are traveling on I 95 south towards Florida while in North Carolina
40:08
a trailer pulls in front of them and a driver observes a large wing horned
40:14
silhou horned silhouette witness states "We were
40:20
driving home from our vacation in Florida it was on Saturday June 3rd
40:26
2016 just after dinner around 8:00 p.m we were passing through North Carolina on I95
40:32
i was cruising along at around 70 mph when I noticed a large camper in my rear view
40:38
mirror i moved to the right lane and thought nothing more of the vehicle as it passed me on the left the interior
40:45
was lit up and all the blinds were down i saw several several silhouettes of
40:51
people as the camper pulled ahead of and in front of my vehicle as the camper began to pull away
40:58
someone stood up in the back closed the rear door and all of a sudden a large pair of wings unfolded from the person's
41:04
shoulder blade area they were wide and memberous with claws at the couple of
41:12
points along the top edge they reminded me of pterodactyl wings or thin bat
41:17
wings i could see enough light through them to make out the wing bones that's
41:22
not all at the top of the man's head were two small curved horns my thought
41:28
was that it was a gargoyle i was sh I was shocked to say the least my family
41:34
was asleep at the time the wings appeared to be real pulsing and flexing as the person or humanoid knew through
41:41
the front of the cap camper as I wondered what to do next the camper pulled off an exit and disappeared and
41:47
to this day I swear it was a being with real wings
41:57
okay I got one more account
42:04
here the witnesses tell me hello well this is my written encounter with the
42:11
infamous Robert the doll my detailed account is the meeting
42:16
and later encounter with the spirit or entity attached to the doll then an
42:22
explanation of any bad luck that has happened everything that happened is
42:27
real i experienced it while awake i was on no substances that could cause an
42:33
elucination or have ever partaken in anything that would be considered a drug or illegal
42:39
substance you choose what you believe but my eyes saw what they saw and I heard what I heard i went on vacation my
42:47
family to Key West a few years ago we decided to go to the museum to visit and
42:52
I honestly did want to see Robert in person because I had read about him before i took a picture at one point
42:59
that had him in the background it was not a direct picture in front of him
43:04
this was enough to get his attention though but I did delete the picture later and no longer
43:11
exist when he visited me this means the entity moved from the doll i heard
43:18
laughing and turned on the light to see the metal pull cord to the
43:23
fan spinning around like someone had pulled it or was messing around it this
43:30
was the extent of any interaction I had with this entity away from the doll itself nothing happened while I was in
43:37
the museum or during the day up to that point now since taking the picture and the visit I have not had anything that I
43:43
could call unfortunate or terrible in a life ruining way i have a nice job that
43:49
I like now and life has been normal i think there is a chance Robert may know
43:54
when someone makes a mistake or is intentionally going up to take a picture with full knowledge of what they are
44:00
doing if you play with fire in this case you probably get burned
44:07
now my late wife and I went to um the 40s to Martell Museum in Key West back
44:14
in July 2004 honestly I didn't sense much energy
44:20
and malevolent intent associated with the doll although there were a few other exhibits in museum that kind of bothered
44:26
me more than Robert um so I'd be interested if any of you
44:31
had an encounter with malevolent entity or believe this story so that's the that's all I have so folks you have
44:38
questions put them up there all caps and we'll go from
44:54
there any questions folks any
45:00
comments
45:12
our friend Brett Thomas is in tonight thanks thanks Brett thanks for joining
45:18
us you can you can hear Brett show after our show uh I get I think it starts at
45:24
10 Eastern i'm not sure dag Namit have you heard of a
45:32
family of shimmering invisible heatwave humanoids living in a Washington State
45:37
Park in the Pacific Northwest uh I have not heard of a family i've heard of a lot of
45:43
uh solitary beings uh the glimmerman beings
45:49
uh very similar to what is depicted in the uh the Predator movies it's um it's
45:56
a phenomenon that myself and the guys over at UN
46:05
uh well it's put Kyle and Cam over at uh Unexplained Perspective is that what it
46:12
is i don't know i forget what the name of the show is but anyway we're actually writing a book we're writing a book
46:18
about the encounters that were sent to us from people who had encounters with
46:23
these glimmermen uh we're getting it finalized now and it should be ready in a couple
46:31
months then we'll send it to the editor so um you can expect to see that a
46:36
little bit down the road i don't know if there's any other books about Glimmerman or not but uh we decided we'd go ahead
46:42
and uh and write one and publish it
46:49
marla Snder what are your thoughts on what Glimmer Man is god I wish I knew
46:56
there are people who swear that it's a Bigfoot a type of Bigfoot that's or a
47:01
Bigfoot that's actually cloaking itself others think it's like the movie some
47:06
type of alien being uh I have had sightings all over the country a few overseas i don't know
47:13
exactly what it is uh but um it's pretty disconcerting for those
47:21
folks who have had the encounter i had a woman just outside of Gettysburg had an encounter with one a couple years ago
47:28
and boy she freaked out she first thought it was a ghost something to do with the battle but it was definitely a
47:35
glimmer man after she watched it for a while expanded perspectives thank you Mara i'm my head's on wrong tonight i
47:44
appreciate that yeah so Calen Cam and I are are writing a book about the uh the
47:52
Glimmerman any more
47:57
questions jose Sanchez andrew said he saw Dogman in triangle group of three
48:02
have you heard of them being in groups like that before it's very rare
48:08
i've only ever had one encounter report to me of one of two beings being
48:14
together um and that was at a distance and they did separate when the encounter happened
48:21
but he the witness did see them together at a distance uh yeah they um that that's
48:30
interesting and if Andrew does have um that account he wants to write it
48:36
down and send it to me i'd appreciate
48:44
it jose Sanchez are those glimmer men similar to the night crawl is entirely different uh these beings are almost
48:52
invisible they they seem to have some type of um uh supernatural aspect to them to
49:00
where they can uh easily move around in the trees most of the time they're seen in trees but
49:07
it's not like the Frozen
49:13
Nightcrawler i see Sir Wolf is asking do you think Bigfoot can cloak controversial i I don't really don't
49:20
know uh I I believe that the Bigfoot is is is a supernatural being for the most
49:26
part now of course I think they're indigenous beings of as said before and I think there are some that you are
49:31
portal travelers that are able to move between dimensions just like I believe the Moth Man and a few other cryptids
49:39
can do um I don't know all I can say is you know listen to the um listen to the
49:47
accounts read the book and decide for yourself
49:54
dag damn it mount Shasta has a number of these holographic uh projected disguise
50:00
doorways that you don't know that are are even there it looks like a normal side of a mountain yeah I um I know a
50:08
