1
00:00:04,440 --> 00:00:08,519
In nineteen seventy two, I was
sitting outside my mother in law's house in

2
00:00:08,560 --> 00:00:13,039
the country on a hot August night, trying to catch a cool breeze.

3
00:00:13,199 --> 00:00:18,600
Not everyone had air conditioning back then. Several of my husband's family members were

4
00:00:18,719 --> 00:00:22,519
sitting out there with me, also
trying to escape the heat of the summer,

5
00:00:23,039 --> 00:00:26,760
when something appeared in the sky above
us that made us all look up.

6
00:00:27,879 --> 00:00:31,800
It was a circular disk covering above
the treetops at the top of the

7
00:00:31,879 --> 00:00:35,439
hill, and although we could only
see the bottom of it, there was

8
00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:40,520
a row of different colored blinking lights
all around that part that we could see.

9
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:43,439
I felt drawn to go up to
the top of the hill to get

10
00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:47,359
a better look, and I walked
up and, still carrying my son,

11
00:00:47,719 --> 00:00:52,560
and I stood there directly under it
for several minutes. I couldn't take my

12
00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:55,759
eyes off of it, and at
the bottom of the hill, my mother

13
00:00:55,799 --> 00:00:59,640
in law was calling for me in
terror to get back down there to them.

14
00:01:00,679 --> 00:01:03,480
Realizing that I might be putting my
son in danger, I backed away,

15
00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:08,200
and as soon as I did,
it shot straight up and disappeared with

16
00:01:08,359 --> 00:01:14,120
incredible speed. At that point we
all went inside to see if there was

17
00:01:14,159 --> 00:01:18,879
anything on TV about it, and
the newsman was announcing that anyone who saw

18
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:23,680
something strange in the sky shouldn't be
worried. It was just a weather balloon

19
00:01:23,879 --> 00:01:27,640
gone astray, he said, a
weather balloon with lights all around it,

20
00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:34,640
and that can move at unbelievably high
rates of speed. Yeah right. I

21
00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:38,560
carried that memory with me all the
way up until twenty and fifteen. At

22
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:42,840
that time, I was working at
a store and had punched out at ten

23
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:49,239
fifteen pm. My grandson Josh was
with me and we were driving home when

24
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:53,959
a bright blue craft floated out above
the trees. It was close enough that

25
00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:59,040
we could even see windows on it. I wish we'd thought to pull over

26
00:01:59,079 --> 00:02:01,879
and get some pictures of it,
but in hindsight, as they say,

27
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:07,360
it's twenty twenty. Over the next
two years, we witnessed two more separate

28
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:14,719
events. In twenty sixteen, a
spherical object appeared and ascended near our local

29
00:02:14,759 --> 00:02:19,400
airport, and at that time my
husband saw a similar object on his way

30
00:02:19,439 --> 00:02:23,840
to work. And then in twenty
seventeen, we were walking down the road

31
00:02:23,879 --> 00:02:29,240
from my house and we looked up
to see three cigar shaped crafts all in

32
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:32,599
a row above us, and one
by one. They each ascended with lightning

33
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:38,879
speed. Just like that, they
were gone. Now, these things were

34
00:02:38,879 --> 00:02:44,520
not balloons. They had capabilities that
weather balloons don't have, and weather balloons

35
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:47,840
don't have flashing lights on them.
I'm sure of it. When they started

36
00:02:47,879 --> 00:02:53,080
appearing to our Air Force during World
War II, they called them the Foo

37
00:02:53,199 --> 00:02:58,879
Fighters. I'm sure that some things
have reasonable explanations, but not the craft

38
00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:02,919
that was directly over my head.
That I can describe, but I cannot

39
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:08,800
explain it. In nineteen ninety three, I bought an eight and a half

40
00:03:08,879 --> 00:03:15,479
acre property with a four bedroom home
in Rice, Texas. It was originally

41
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:19,879
part of the estate of a man
named Clyde who died several years earlier.

42
00:03:20,759 --> 00:03:25,759
Neither his widow nor any of his
children wanted the property. Almost immediately after

43
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:30,400
moving in, strange things began to
happen. One evening, I was standing

44
00:03:30,439 --> 00:03:35,879
at the sink washing dishes, and
a butcher knife slid across the counter toward

45
00:03:35,919 --> 00:03:39,039
the sint from eight feet away.
Well. I jumped back and pulled my

46
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:44,840
hands away just as the knife fell
into the soapy water. There was no

47
00:03:44,879 --> 00:03:49,240
one in the kitchen but me.
My son and daughter were in their rooms

48
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:53,120
doing their homework and my wife was
watching TV in the living room. I

49
00:03:53,159 --> 00:03:55,400
went into the living room and asked
my wife to come out to the kitchen.

50
00:03:57,439 --> 00:04:00,240
After I told her what happened.
Neither of a us could understand how

51
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:04,080
the knife could have been propelled all
that way down the counter into the sink,

52
00:04:04,479 --> 00:04:10,360
and it gave us both goosebumps.
A few weeks later, my daughter

53
00:04:10,479 --> 00:04:14,039
was sitting at the dining room table
and I was standing at the island in

54
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:17,319
the kitchen when a measuring cup came
flying out of the laundry room and it

55
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:20,720
flew across the room and hit the
cabinets on the other side of the kitchen.

56
00:04:21,519 --> 00:04:25,279
Well, we were both startled.
What the crap is that? My

57
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:29,639
daughter yelled, Well, I walked
over and picked up the cup. It

58
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:31,920
was made of plastic, so it
didn't shudder, but it did get a

59
00:04:31,959 --> 00:04:35,879
crack in it. No one was
in the laundry room at that time.

60
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:41,439
That incident also left us scratching our
heads about what was going on in that

61
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:46,720
house. The third event happened a
couple of months later. My wife and

62
00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:49,600
daughter had gone into town to do
some shopping, leaving my son and me

63
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:55,120
at home. I had two hundred
and fifty rabbits under roof, and I

64
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:59,920
was cleaning the barn and doing chores, checking the rabbits for sore ht,

65
00:05:00,959 --> 00:05:04,959
checking the water flow in the cages
and such. My son was cleaning out

66
00:05:04,959 --> 00:05:10,079
another barn on the other side of
the property where our sheets and goats lived.

67
00:05:11,519 --> 00:05:14,360
I finished up before my son did, and I headed for the house

68
00:05:14,399 --> 00:05:17,079
to get a glass of iced tea. And I saw him still working at

69
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:21,040
the other barn, so I went
inside and took off my boots. That's

70
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:26,360
essential one coming in from the barns. I fixed my tea and I sat

71
00:05:26,399 --> 00:05:30,120
down in my recliner in the living
room. After ten minutes, I heard

72
00:05:30,199 --> 00:05:34,360
the sound of boots walking across the
kitchen toward the living room where I was

73
00:05:34,399 --> 00:05:39,040
sitting. Well. I hollered out
that he needed to get those boots off

74
00:05:39,079 --> 00:05:43,240
in the house, but there was
no reply. So I set it again,

75
00:05:43,879 --> 00:05:47,879
and still I got silence. The
boots turned and headed down the hallway

76
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:51,040
toward the bedroom, and I got
out of the chair and walked to the

77
00:05:51,079 --> 00:05:57,439
hallway, but no one was there. I checked each bedroom in both bathrooms,

78
00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:00,800
there was no one. When I
came back to the kitchen, I

79
00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:03,480
looked out through the window. My
son was still out working in the barn.

80
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:10,000
That was when I had had enough, so I yelled out, Clyde.

81
00:06:10,079 --> 00:06:13,199
If that's you and you're the one
doing these things, you need to

82
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:15,879
stop. I know you love this
house that you built, but you can

83
00:06:15,879 --> 00:06:19,920
see we're taking care of it just
as you would have, so stop scaring

84
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:24,040
my wife and kids. And I
don't care if you want to hang around,

85
00:06:24,079 --> 00:06:29,240
but just watch and don't try to
hurt anyone. For a long time,

86
00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:33,199
all the antics stopped until one afternoon
we had an insurance agent over.

87
00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:39,079
As we sat in the living room
talking, my daughter mentioned something about our

88
00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:45,399
house ghost. The agent started mocking
the existence of ghosts. All of a

89
00:06:45,439 --> 00:06:49,319
sudden, a glass candy dish full
of candy was pushed off the coffee table

90
00:06:49,639 --> 00:06:55,720
and it landed at the agent's feet. The guy's face turned every shade of

91
00:06:55,800 --> 00:07:00,240
pink and then bright red and back
to white. He didn't say goodbye or

92
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:03,800
thanks for letting me stop by.
He didn't say anything. He picked up

93
00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:08,720
his briefcase and ran to the front
door, and he jumped in his car

94
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:12,160
and took off like he had just
gotten a green light on a dragstrip.

95
00:07:13,439 --> 00:07:16,920
We couldn't stop ourselves from laughing,
and I said, good job, Clyde.

96
00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:21,639
And after that Clyde didn't make himself
known much, but once in a

97
00:07:21,639 --> 00:07:26,959
while someone would feel his presence.
But the antics stopped
