WEBVTT 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.
