1
00:00:08,080 --> 00:00:13,039
What I'm about to share is something
that is unbelievable, and I have survived

2
00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:18,640
a traumatic event that I wish it
never happened. This event in time has

3
00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:22,120
left me where I have been robbed
not only of my future but also my

4
00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:27,120
past. I feel like someone might
know something that might help me, but

5
00:00:27,239 --> 00:00:32,359
at this time I'm definitely afraid to
use my name because of the inquiries that

6
00:00:32,479 --> 00:00:37,200
may ensue if I do so,
and I prefer that you keep this contact

7
00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:41,560
information to yourself, but feel free
to read it, as there may be

8
00:00:41,759 --> 00:00:47,520
others that listen to your program that
have had similar experiences. I will keep

9
00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:52,000
this short as possible, and I
don't have much strength now and my memories

10
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:56,240
are vague, but there are still
pieces of everything since the event occurred.

11
00:00:58,119 --> 00:01:00,280
My first memory is standing in the
middle of the road in the middle of

12
00:01:00,359 --> 00:01:04,879
a pitch black night, which might
not be that unusual, except that I

13
00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:11,439
was completely naked, confused, scared, and unaware of how I got there

14
00:01:11,079 --> 00:01:18,079
nor even where this road was.
Suddenly there was a bright light racing toward

15
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:22,120
me in a loud noise, and
then another, and then another. Now

16
00:01:22,159 --> 00:01:26,920
you can envision how confused I must
have been, having no idea what these

17
00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:30,159
things were. I thought maybe there
were cars, because they were honking at

18
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:36,760
me and dodging me to keep from
hitting me. Another vehicle came speeding toward

19
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:40,359
me with red and blue lights,
and a big guy jumped out of the

20
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:45,120
car and came running up to me, yelling in a loud, rude voice.

21
00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:48,319
Well, I didn't understand what he
was saying, and in fact,

22
00:01:48,359 --> 00:01:52,079
I was unable to even speak.
Now. I must have looked like I

23
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:56,159
was stoned out of my mind,
and when he grabbed my arm, it

24
00:01:56,239 --> 00:02:00,920
felt like his hand was hottest fire
and it burned. I remember jerking my

25
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:06,840
arm away from him and screaming in
pain instantly, and he didn't waste a

26
00:02:06,959 --> 00:02:10,759
second, throwing his arm around my
neck and tossing me face first onto the

27
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:17,120
blacktop. The fear I was experiencing
was beyond belief. It was like I

28
00:02:17,199 --> 00:02:21,400
was being attacked by a monster,
and I felt like he was trying to

29
00:02:21,479 --> 00:02:25,159
hurt me. He handcuffed me,
and he threw me into the car,

30
00:02:25,319 --> 00:02:30,240
and he took me to the police
station, where he took my fingerprints and

31
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:34,479
photos of me, and then asked
me questions for two hours. But I

32
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:39,159
never understood a word of what he
said. After growing impatient, he handcuffed

33
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:43,759
me again and drove me to the
local hospital, where they strapped me to

34
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:47,240
a bed and started doing all types
of tests on me. I now know

35
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:53,400
they were testing me for drug and
substances that were illegal through my blood and

36
00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:59,120
urine, which they took from me
without my consent. I never understood what

37
00:02:59,199 --> 00:03:02,159
they were saying, nor where I
actually was, and over the next four

38
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:09,039
days nothing changed until two uniformed soldiers
who I didn't recognize, entered my room

39
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:15,599
and took the restraints off my wrists. They put me in dark brown pants

40
00:03:15,599 --> 00:03:17,479
and shirt, and they gave me
a pair of boots, and then they

41
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:23,560
escorted me out to their vehicle.
I was cuffed up again and driven to

42
00:03:23,599 --> 00:03:28,879
the airport and flown to Jacksonville,
Florida, and admitted to the Naval Hospital.

43
00:03:30,039 --> 00:03:34,080
There, I was treated for my
memory loss as well as minor radiation

44
00:03:34,319 --> 00:03:38,000
poisoning. I was put into a
room by myself, and I had an

45
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:44,039
endless flow of doctors and visitors over
the next several weeks, and then two

46
00:03:44,159 --> 00:03:47,840
men and two women came to see
me. I later discovered they were my

47
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:52,960
parents and my fiance and my brother, whom I did not know at the

48
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:57,680
time, and when I realized some
months later, I felt horrible about that.

49
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:01,080
They kept coming back for a couple
of weeks, until the only one

50
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:05,280
that stayed was my mother, and
she kept coming back day in and day

51
00:04:05,319 --> 00:04:12,599
out. I still couldn't understand what
she was saying or remember anything about them.

52
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:15,680
She began to show me pictures,
and she read me stories, and

53
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:20,160
she told me of my childhood and
sing songs and hymns. Over the next

54
00:04:20,199 --> 00:04:25,639
several months, and I finally began
to remember bits and pieces of my life

55
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:30,519
before that dark night in the middle
of Utah. I grew more and more

56
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:34,920
aware of my surroundings and my past
as time went on and my language skills

57
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:40,759
started to return to me. I
was so excited to realize that I was

58
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:45,000
beginning to understand the doctors and nurses
when they came in, as well as

59
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:49,680
the people from Washington, who never
seemed to be short of questions. I

60
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:54,199
had no answers for most of what
they were asking me, but was more

61
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:58,959
than willing to listen and try.
It was like my life was coming back

62
00:04:58,959 --> 00:05:01,879
to me slowly, and if these
people could help me remember, I was

63
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:09,240
game for anything. They attempted hypnosis
as well as some truth drugs and some

64
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:14,519
other drugs that should have helped me
remember, but everything stopped. I only

65
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:18,879
got to a certain point of memory. What was truly shocking was that it

66
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:24,079
seems that the evening before I was
found in Utah, I was at work

67
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:28,639
some miles away, and in fact
was over twenty eight hundred miles away in

68
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:32,920
the middle of the Bermuda Triangle aboard
the USS Ronald Reagan, which is one

69
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:40,319
of the Navy's aircraft carriers. I
apparently traveled over twenty eight hundred miles in

70
00:05:40,399 --> 00:05:45,160
less than three hours, which is
over nine hundred miles per hour, and

71
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:49,399
the military was interested in how this
occurred. They had quite a few theories

72
00:05:49,399 --> 00:05:55,839
about what happened. I was informed
that I was on the USS Ronald Reagan

73
00:05:55,879 --> 00:06:00,560
and we had just left Jacksonville after
spending five months in port, and I

74
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:04,120
was headed back around South America to
the Pacific. I was one of the

75
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:08,759
deck crew, as one of the
Blue Crew or salvage wreck team, as

76
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:12,399
well as an ordnance personnel, and
I was told that I spent all my

77
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:17,360
waking hours above deck, even when
not on duty. When I missed muster

78
00:06:17,519 --> 00:06:21,319
the next morning, and after a
search of the ship, it was assumed

79
00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:27,480
that I had fallen overboard, and
several aircraft were launched to comb the ocean

80
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:31,279
looking for the needle in the Hays
deck. Three days later, when my

81
00:06:31,399 --> 00:06:36,160
prints and picture reached the military,
they sent a police escort to retrieve me.

82
00:06:38,959 --> 00:06:42,959
Theory one was that I was a
wall from the time we left port

83
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:46,040
and had someone covering for me on
the ship, but too many people had

84
00:06:46,079 --> 00:06:50,720
witnessed me there aboard the ship,
and the second was that I was some

85
00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:56,000
sort of spy, and the third
was I was trying to get a Section

86
00:06:56,120 --> 00:07:02,040
eight discharge. After six months in
total at the hospital in Jacksonville, they

87
00:07:02,079 --> 00:07:06,639
transported me to Walter reed in Bethesda, Maryland, to be examined by the

88
00:07:06,759 --> 00:07:14,000
nation's finest military medical staff. I
had constant visitors there from Washington, as

89
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:19,480
well as psychologists from the military and
all types of doctors. They concluded that

90
00:07:19,519 --> 00:07:25,120
I was not lying to my superiors
in Brass and that something had happened to

91
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:30,439
me that impacted me so much that
all my memory had been suppressed. I

92
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:35,439
was in Walter Reid for four years
in total, and I was discharged on

93
00:07:35,519 --> 00:07:43,160
a medical and I received total disability. My case was classified until recently,

94
00:07:43,319 --> 00:07:47,160
in which it was unclassified at the
same time as the UFO case files.

95
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:53,079
It was then I saw the videos
from the information release on the videos and

96
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:57,680
photos taken from the deck of the
USS Ronald Reagan the night I had vanished.

97
00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:01,319
Up until that time, I had
no idea this could have been connected,

98
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:05,319
and I wondered if this is what
all the interest in me was four

99
00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:11,000
For five years that I spent locked
up in the hospitals, I had moved

100
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:16,560
back in with my parents after leaving
the hospital. I was still struggling with

101
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:20,839
some of the most basic parts of
living alone, such as driving and shopping

102
00:08:20,879 --> 00:08:26,160
and paying bills. And over the
next several years, I experienced two more

103
00:08:26,319 --> 00:08:31,399
events where I was found walking miles
away from my car or where I was

104
00:08:31,519 --> 00:08:37,600
last seen some hours later. Both
episodes, I had no memory of how

105
00:08:37,639 --> 00:08:41,000
I got there or what happened.
Just prior to realizing that I was lost,

106
00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:46,720
I was seen at the VA every
four months as my body was aging

107
00:08:46,799 --> 00:08:52,159
at a rate of three times the
rate of a normal person. And now

108
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:56,799
I'm going to tell you something that
will blow your mind. Just three months

109
00:08:56,799 --> 00:09:01,080
ago, when going to Virginia my
brain. Mother slammed the van door shut

110
00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:07,559
on my hand and something went wrong. Immediately, my hand erupted in pain

111
00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:11,919
like I had never experienced before.
It was like I had struck my hand

112
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:15,960
into a vat of hot oil,
but it was inside my hand, not

113
00:09:16,159 --> 00:09:22,799
on the surface. A neon orange
bruise the size of a silver dollar appeared

114
00:09:22,879 --> 00:09:26,039
under the skin and began to spread
and grow, and I was rushed inside

115
00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:30,840
the hospital, where they sedated me
and went to work on my hand.

116
00:09:31,639 --> 00:09:35,960
When I woke, a massive portion
of my hand had been removed, and

117
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:41,120
there were officers from the military present. Again. I was informed that the

118
00:09:41,159 --> 00:09:46,840
impact of the van door on my
hand had ruptured some sort of organic device

119
00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:52,200
the length of twenty millimeters and the
diameter of a grain of rice, and

120
00:09:52,279 --> 00:09:56,720
it had tentacles stretching out over six
inches from all over the surface area into

121
00:09:56,759 --> 00:10:03,679
my hand, located a point between
my fingers where this device was implanted.

122
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:07,080
Yet I had no knowledge of what
this was nor where it came from,

123
00:10:07,519 --> 00:10:13,679
let alone when it happened. The
next morning, I was back at Walter

124
00:10:13,799 --> 00:10:16,559
Reed and they were now scanning my
body looking for more of these devices,

125
00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:22,279
in which they located seventeen more in
different parts of my body, including my

126
00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:28,240
feet, hands, arms, neck, and connected to my tailbone, as

127
00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:33,200
well as two that were implanted in
my nostrils and into my brain. The

128
00:10:33,279 --> 00:10:39,000
decision was made to remove these devices, starting with all the ones in the

129
00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:43,519
extremities first and then tackling the two
in my brain at a later time.

130
00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:48,360
As of now, all of the
devices have been removed, with only some

131
00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:54,399
minor side effects to my eyesight and
hearing. I've also begun to have nightmares

132
00:10:54,399 --> 00:11:00,000
of being held down under a bright
light and my body put through painful expres

133
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:05,799
experiments and surgeries, along with silvery
looking squid type monsters looking down upon my

134
00:11:05,919 --> 00:11:13,200
immobile body. Today I'm back with
my parents, but I look like I'm

135
00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:16,799
over eighty years old. My skin
is wrinkled and my body is crippled up,

136
00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:22,159
and my hands hurt from authritis.
My back is humped over, and

137
00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:26,039
I have to walk with a walker
to get around. I am now forty

138
00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:31,320
years old, and I wonder if
I will see another year. And I

139
00:11:31,399 --> 00:11:35,200
wonder who has done this to me? And what were those devices that were

140
00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:39,399
removed from my body at Walter Reed
And what did the military do with them.

141
00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:43,879
Why haven't they told me anything that
might give me an explanation as to

142
00:11:43,919 --> 00:11:48,159
what has happened? Now? I
wonder if I was abducted that night by

143
00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:54,559
aliens from the deck of the USS
Ronald Reagan and then deposited in Utah after

144
00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:58,200
they did a bunch of experiments to
me and wipe my memory from my mind?

145
00:11:58,919 --> 00:12:03,320
And last, what was the purpose
of this and why did they pick

146
00:12:03,519 --> 00:12:09,679
me? When I was fourteen,
I was with some of my family at

147
00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:16,399
an actual haunted house called Saint Auban
Sanatorium in Radford, Virginia. The place

148
00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:20,320
began its life as a Lutheran boys'
school, but bullying became such a problem

149
00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:26,879
that several of its students took their
own lives. With a reputation like that,

150
00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:33,200
the school eventually shut down In nineteen
sixteen. It reopened as a psychiatric

151
00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:37,440
infirmary. Although it was supposed to
be a better alternative to the other insane

152
00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:43,559
asylums, it too developed a bad
reputation. There were stories of cruel and

153
00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:50,279
inhuman treatment of the patients. The
stories were rampant. Experiments often left them

154
00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:56,759
permanently disabled or dead. The staff
to patient ratio was outrageous, with one

155
00:12:56,840 --> 00:13:03,200
staff member for every one hundred and
thirty five patients. Divide that into three

156
00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:07,399
shifts with days off, and the
number gets a lot closer to four hundred.

157
00:13:07,879 --> 00:13:11,639
In the itteen nineties, the place
was shut down, and today it's

158
00:13:11,759 --> 00:13:16,879
considered one of the most haunted places
in the Eastern United States. And for

159
00:13:16,919 --> 00:13:22,360
the price of admission, you too
can experience the other worldly happenings inside its

160
00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:28,240
walls. Now, can you blame
me for being too scared to go inside?

161
00:13:28,519 --> 00:13:31,120
My uncle, who worked security there, stayed outside to keep me company

162
00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:37,480
while everyone else went in. We
walked around and talked until he got a

163
00:13:37,519 --> 00:13:41,799
call to go to a walk through. While I was standing at the ticket

164
00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:45,799
booth waiting for my uncle to come
back, this guy with a pale face

165
00:13:45,879 --> 00:13:50,559
and dark eyes walked up to me
and tapped me on the shoulder. I

166
00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:54,200
guess he was about five foot ten, and he was dressed in a uniform

167
00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:58,120
like the inmates of the asylum would
have worn. Do you know where the

168
00:13:58,159 --> 00:14:01,240
bathroom is? He asked, well. I told him no, that I'd

169
00:14:01,279 --> 00:14:05,200
never been inside. He stood there
for a second, staring at me,

170
00:14:05,279 --> 00:14:11,440
and then he turned and silently walked
away. I assumed he was an actor

171
00:14:11,799 --> 00:14:15,759
hired to add to the creepy factor
of the haunted house. I never gave

172
00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:20,240
him another thought, But a few
days later we were all together again,

173
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:24,919
and everyone who went inside was showing
off the pictures that they had taken and

174
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:28,960
talking about the suicide bathroom. It
was the place where the students of the

175
00:14:30,039 --> 00:14:35,639
Lutherans boys' schools would go to commit
their final act. Someone had taken a

176
00:14:35,679 --> 00:14:39,399
photograph of a wall of pictures showing
the people who had died in that bathroom,

177
00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:43,679
And right there, as clear as
he was when he tapped me on

178
00:14:43,799 --> 00:14:50,080
the shoulder, was the guy who
asked me where the bathroom was. Almost

179
00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:54,360
a decade later, it still haunts
me, and I can't help but wonder

180
00:14:54,399 --> 00:15:00,000
if the person he'd ask that question
of while he was living had given him

181
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:03,159
have the same answer that I did. Would it had given him time to

182
00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:09,559
think about it, maybe make a
better choice.
