to the podcast. Hi Nick, how are you doing. I'm doing pretty
good. Thank you, and thank you for coming on today. And you're
calling from the state of California. Correct, thank you. Now, John,
you had a strange experience walking home one night. Would you like to
start at the beginning? Please? Sure. So this was back in two
thousand and five. I lived in East Ali at the time and Tina,
I had just turned eighteen, and I was expecting a child. She was
actually born on August twelve, you know, nine days after my aking birthday.
So I was looking for work, you know, off the bast and
I turned eighteen. I spent that day just trying to find a job and
I took one on at a fast food restaurant and yeah, I was like
this isn't for me. I had there for like two weeks and I was
like, I don't want to be here doing fries and all this Greece.
So I ended up going to one of these other called the ninety nine only
start. They're like, I don't know, you know, international, but
here they're kind of popular. And I interviewed and unfortunately the only position,
and you know, a slot they offered me was six pm to two am,
basically closing the store and cleaning. I didn't have a cart time,
but you know, it's a newborn and all that. I kind of had
to take what was there, you know. So I was there for a
few months, you know. Sometimes, you know, we met some people
and so nice to get a ride home. And more often than not,
though, I was always walking home, and you know, the stallion,
and I wasn't in the best neighborhood, so I always carried a knife on
me just in case anything, you know. But so this one night,
I mean we closed the store, that's one of these knights had to walk
home. I It was not a long walk, maybe u twelve minutes,
just down down the street, and there's an apartment complex and a hill next
to the apartment complex, and so usually I either walk up the hill the
gates locks of the apartments, then I'll go just walk up the hill.
Yeah, that's my neighborhood. Actually grew up in that that same street,
so it was somewhere we would hang out, you know, me and friends
and all that. So this is something I was really familiar with. But
anyways, though, so as I was walking, um, as soon as
I got to where the crosswalkers to start my walk up that street. I
just felt weird. It's just like I felt like somebody's watching me. I
couldn't explain it nothing, It's just like I just felt uneasy, like something
didn't happened tonight. So, um, all right, I started making my
walk up the street, and I, um, it's a bunch of it's
so it's like a bunch of sides of houses, and but it's just so
there's really no street lights. Um, so this is just dark street.
And so make my way up. And so I'm looking straight ahead. I'm
coming to a view of the hill and the apartment complex, and I see
and this looks like somebody crouching, like kind of like a you know,
like a frog on the lily pad, just in a crouch position. So
I'm thinking, okay, maybe it's one of one of my friends were neighboring.
Maybe it's up there, you know, smoking or something. But proportions
it didn't make sense to me. It looked lanky because behind them there is
a house and they have a light on the side of the house. So
I'm looking at a silhouette and closer I get to it, just it just
wasn't right, and to see no hair on the head, and it's just
in this position, and I'm like, I'm getting closer and closer, and
it's I mean, it looked because the way it's knees and everything we're bent,
it looked like if it stood up, it'd be very tall. Moved.
I didn't see any sign of clothing, like not a hair on on
it. And so I'm getting to the point to where, okay, it's
either walk up this hill or cut through the apartments. And luckily the gate
was unlocked to the apartments, but it's I'm I'm blocking, and I moved
that knife from my pocket into my sweater pocket and I flick it open,
and it's why those little ones kind of makes like a snap noise. As
soon as I did that, it growled at me. And it don't sound
like a dog or anything. It's just sounded. Yeah. It was just
so weird, and so I you know, I'm looking at it still hasn't
made a move or anything. It's still crouchy, but I see it's turning
its head, it's falling where I'm going in my direction. It's watching me.
So I'm walking backwards until I'm out of you. Where I can't see
it, no morn, I can't see me no moreny. I turn around.
I start kind of like a brisk walk, like I'm I'm walking kind
of fast. So I pop out at the apartments onto my neighborhood street and
I look towards the hill and I don't see anything. So now it's just
a few houses too to where I get home. But I get onto the
sidewalk, and probably about five houses down, I see it's a woman,
dark hair, and she's walking like she like dragging her back foot, so
stepping forward and kind of dragging the other foot. This is a new I
grew up on. This does not look like anybody that I know. And
after what just happened with the hill, I'm like, this isn't right.
Something's weird. So I, you know, normally, I mean i'd go
see somebody's okay, you know what I mean. But I'm like this,
this person and this is too fifteen two twenty in the morning, I'm like,
this does not makes sense. And I just had the gut feeling not
to not to approach, you know. So I get to my gate,
I opened it, I started walking up my driveway. I'm about halfway up,
and my conscience gets the best of me. I turned around to go,
like, I have to check on this lady by what happened. I
have to see what's going on here. So I walked down to my gate
and I look left, I look right. She's gone, Like it's too
far up the street for her to just you know, churn or go down
that hill or or even like if she had turned around, i'd still see
somebody walking. She was gone. She vanished, and like I said,
those that's where I grew up. I know that neighbor. She did not
match anybody's you know, anybody's appearance that I knew. Sound that, Um,
I will walk back up, went inside. I couldn't sleep. I
probably adventure about about five o'clock. I kept looking out the window. It
was just yeah, So that's essentially, uh what happened. That was an
interest in Wolcomb. That was John Very I uh, you know, I
I quit the job probably about a week after. I couldn't do it.
I was, yeah, I don't didn't want to see anything like that again.
Didn't want to feel like that again because I was not transnic. I'm
tough everything, But you know I could I could hold my own you know,
you know, not worried about people, nothing like that, but that
growl and that the whole experience is just something I've never been through. Yeah,
So it just kind of it was wild. So I didn't stick around.
I eventually, event you went back to past food, you know,
because this is the only the place I would do that would hire me at
that time. So I was like, Okay, I'm going back to one
of these places so I can work during the day. I did not want
to do that walk again. Well, when it gets dark, all kinds
of strange stuff happens. You know. It's one thing dealing with people in
certain situations, I know, but when you're confronted by something strange. I
mean, you had you had that strange creature that you saw, and then
you had this woman dragging her foot. It's kind of a bit like the
zombie movies in't there with a dragging their foot behind them exactly. It's kind
of hit me like the way she looked it was kind of like the girl
from the Ring essentially, like the hair just down, head down, and
she definitely wasn't very tall, and uh, with what was on the hill,
I did I didn't mention m. Once I got close, I could
see it better. Best I could describe its head was kind of shaped like
an almond, So you know almonds are, They're kind of rounded at the
bottom and the head comes to a point. That's That's the best I could
describe it as like almond shaped head, a little a little bit longer,
but it just just thinned. It seemed rounded at the bottom and just kind
of thinned as it went up. So yeah, I know for sure that
was not a person, and it was it was kneeling down, but from
the from the light behind it, you could work out silhouettes, so it
did, yeah, give the impression like it if it stood up, it
would be tall. Oh yeah, because the legs that when it was crouched
the way the lady, like their knees were kind of sticking out. It
just looked like it had some really long legs on it. What about facial
features, And I couldn't see any facial features. I get to see the
shape of the head and the silhouette of it, but I could tell it
was hairless. And like I said, if it had to set up,
it'd be tall. And then the head shape also it was just kind of
like that, you know, and then that growl it did it just that
was not a normal animal it I don't know, it didn't sound human,
didn't sound like an animal, you know, it just sounded That's why I
think I when I had sent you my message, I was like Ray slashed
Eamon. So those are the only two things I can attributed to because I'm
like, that wasn't a person. I mean, it was, you know,
definitely human shaped arms, legs and stuff up. But yeah, I
don't think a person could do make that sound that A mean, and you
hadn't have heard of anything like that round the area before. No, this
was back in two thousand and five. I think when I started hearing about
people talking about like rags and stuff, that's my two thousand and sixteen seventeen
for me, when I started kind of hearing like rumbles of it, and
then I heard a couple of people tell their stories on other podcasts, and
I'm like, this sounds closest to what I experienced, Like, this sounds
like the closest thing to what I happened with me. You know, I
certainly wouldn't want to bump beat this at two o'clock in the morning, and
I'm pretty sure a lot of my listeners wouldn't either. Yeah, that's why
I can't work there no more. I'm like, I can't do this.
Ship. I try to see if I can work in the daytime. They
had no opening, So I told him I can't do this. Um,
I didn't do a two week's notice. I think I did it for a
week and I even took a longer route home. I didn't take that same
route that's the time I was there. Other than the fact that the job
may have sucked, did you give him a reason why you didn't, Like,
I just told him I couldn't do that lead shift no more. And
I was like, I can't do this. I don't have a car.
I'm walking home at night, and I just told me it's dangerous at night.
I don't I can't keep doing this wop. It makes you wonder if
if this thing had reacted to you, you know, even even a knife
would have been made a difference, right right. It gave me a little
bit of comfort because it was like I got something on hand. It's it's
an no handgun or nothing, but you know, it gives me a fighting
chance, you know, because growing up, you know where I did.
I was in the youth rox boxing program for a while, and uh so,
like I said, I knew how to defend myself against people and all
that, like you know, you know, fight's never bothered me, but
I just knew. I was like, hell, I got as a knife,
this thing moves on me, I'm gonna have to fight for my life
because it just seemed like, by the proportion of it, the thing would
be faster than me. But it did appear kind of like then, kind
of like frail. Um, So I was like, maybe I gotta fighting
chance, and this knife, you know, keeps me in that fight,
you know. So I just grabbing the handle at a knife. So right
the area where you saw it on the hill, that particular area is it
is it possible that it has like any wooded area anywhere where this thing could
could reside. Um that little hill leads up to a bigger thing like that.
There's houses, but behind those houses with a bunch of hills, and
we used to go up there when we're younger, and there's like actually a
little kind of kind of duck under a couple of these branches and stuff,
and there's a little flight area. I mean, you know, just to
be honest, that's where we used to go like smoke potats sometimes. You
know, our parents weren't there. It's away from the houses, but it
was almost like a little like den area that we used to go to.
So yeah, walking through there, there's trees, and there's a hill area
and there's no houses that people you get into that hilly side. I wish
I had pictures of there, and I've since moved. Honestly, I haven't
really since that happened. I didn't really venture up that area. Yeah,
I don't blame you. Definitely strange. It's a strange thing. But then
again, luck, you know we're talking before the the very beginning of the
show. I've had accounts from from LA, you know, across LA with
some strange encounters with creatures, some above ground and some would believe they're from
blowground in the sewer system. So you know, who knows what's walking the
streets? You know, when we were all going to bed and people are
working a late shift exactly, you know, I know the only person around,
I mean it's you. I'm two o'clock. I mean, just it
was dead out there. I didn't see that car come by once, which
being two o'clock, it doesn't happen that opten anyway, But it's just yeah,
it was just dead quiet, and I just had a feeling as soon
as I left that start just so like something's gonna happen tonight, Like I
thought, maybe you know, I'm gonna get a competation with somebody or something.
Not that lucky. I would have preferred that, you know, I
would have preferred a rover. What happened because, like I said, it
just I couldn't do that job no more. I just couldn't. So you
had a feeling beforehand, so your intuition kicked in out the bat. Once
I got through the crosswalk and I started crossing the street to where I had
that straight shot to my uh to where I can get to my house,
Yeah, I said. As I was there, I was like something,
something's gonna happen. Yeah, that's really weird. But prior to two thousand
and five, how do you add any experiences like this before? I mean,
not necessarily like this creature thing. There was a time had to be
maybe in ten eleven. My father passed away when I was nine years old,
and me passed away in our house, and just after that, like
the energy in the house was not that's not a good feeling. I mean,
I know my brothers and sisters had some weird stuff happened. But I
had fallen asleep in our living room and that was on the couch and I
don't know why. I don't know what time it was. I just kind
of wake up and as I opened my eyes, something someone leaning over me,
looking down on me. So I'm looking up and they're looking over me,
looking down on me, and I don't know. I just remember waking
up after that the next morning. I just remember over my eyes seeing that
that had leaning over looking at me, like I don't know, to me,
I mean, I think that's more like like a kind of a ghostly
type thing, maybe shadow person, but I can't say for sure. Maybe
it was a dream. It didn't feel like one. You know, both
of these experiences that you've had, they have both been when you were in
a kind of vulnerable situation. So you had the one way you were asleep
and you wake up, so you know, we're always defenses, you know,
when we're asleep, right, and then when you're walking home at two
am and you see these creature. Yeah, but yeah, outside out of
that, I do have something from after and this was in Arizona, and
it's rare. It's a pretty quick once we're out there visiting some family.
This is um it had to be movie twenty at the time. So two
years later, we're you know, I'm out there. I go step out
into the driveway. I'm just kind of sitting there, having to smoke and
all that, and I kinda just get like a hunch like look over my
shoulder, and so I look over in our over our neighbor's house. It
was rectangle shape, it was big, and it had like an orange pulsing
light on the side facing away from me. So when it would light up
like that, you could see the silhouette in the shape of whatever this was.
It's almost blimp light, but didn't seem like a like a blimp.
It's actually the silence of it. And that light that was posting on the
other side, it was like an orange orange kind of light, like orange
colored. And so I was watching it, and so I ran inside,
and that my daughter's mom's brother, so my my daughter's uncle, Hey,
Michael, come out, you got to see this thing. So he comes
out with me and he sees it, but we're just seeing the back end
of it now, but you can see the light pulsing. I'm like,
that's not a plane, and he's like, that's not a plane. I
don't know what that is. And uh yeah. So with all of those
three experiences, yeah, I mean, but I think those are probably the
three biggest thing like minor stuff outside of that, you know, like hearing
some voices here and there. Man, that's about it. Good stuff,
John, Thank you. Yeah, I wouldn't. I wouldn't want to see
that, right, I must submit. It's definitely creepy. Yeah, last
last thing you need is seeing hearing the bushes rustling and seeing that thing,
right, definitely. I'm glad I haven't. You know, I've only experienced
once because I was yeah, I don't, I don't care sism like that
again. And to our listeners, if you think you've experienced something very similar
to what John has, a lanky creature looking in the bushes, then let
us know, because see if anyone else is in this uh this strange creature,
Yeah, for sure, i'd love to hear. Yeah, that's I
like about the format, you know, I'm like, you're just every day
like everyday people. I just wanted to get that out there because I've heard
so much recently and I'm like, i gotta, you know, get my
account. So so you know, people like yourself absolutely like okay, you
know this is what I've heard. Now, this is you know what this
so and so I said, And you guys got to paint the picture.
And I'm so long for the ride, like I'm just wanting to hear and
more stories come out. I'm like, Okay to me, that was you
know, pretty similar. More people aren'tlying this kind of stuff. So the
important thing is John, you know that you've you've come out with this experience,
and the chances are that someone else is listening to had that experience or
they someone that has, and then that's gonna help them. You know,
they're gonna go okay, So I saw the same thing. So now I
can I can relax a little bit. You know, I'm not I'm not
nuts. So you know it's a good thing, you know, And that's
now it's snowballs, you know, that's how it that's how it goes.
Yeah, I mean for me, that's you know, so the way I
see it, I'm like, you know, if it helps anybody or you
know, I've heard stories, so that's what I mean, we want to
do it. I'm like, okay, i gotta chime in with my own
because I've heard some similar things on like other shows that listen to. Yeah,
So I's like, I'm gonna put mine out there and that's it.
I'm not you know, I don't want nothing out of it, just to
maybe somehow somebody you know exactly. You know, you know, like we
said at the beginning, you know, there's tons of stories around in that
area, but you know, you don't hear about it. It's kind of
kept within the community and all that. So it's important to share these things
for sure. Yeah, exactly. But yeah, I appreciate you, don
John. I really appreciate you coming on sharing that for our listeners. Hey,
thank you, appreciate you, and I'm gonna keep on listenings. Uh,
you know, looking forward to maybe hearing this at some point. But
you take care, man from keep off the streets at two am. Take
care of yourself and now talk seemed to John. All right, all right,
you take care, okay, take care, brother. I'm Richard Sarah
join me on Strange Planet for in depth conversations with the world's top paranormal investigators,
alien abductees, big foot trackers, monster hunters, time travelers, and
more. The handler one day told her this whole thing about how they've been
terraforming on Mars and they're building a colony, and they're recruiting specific people of
specific bloodlines and specific talents and skill sets to go on to the planet.
On Richard Sarah's Strange Planet, We're redefining reality. Listen now wherever you get
your podcasts. Hello, Sherry, welcome to the show. Hey Nick,
thank you for grace in this with your presence today. And you're cooling from
Oregon in the US. YEP. Now, Sherry, you have some paranormal
experiences to share. Would you light start the beginning please? Yeah. I've
got a couple of UFO type stories, and then I've got a couple that
delve more into kind of paranormal aspects. One thing I will say is that
I grew up in California, Southern California. I really had nothing unusual happened
down there, even though I kind of lived outside of the city, could
see the sky clearly, never anything weird. It was only after I moved
up to Oregon that the strangeness started happening. And I will say that overall,
I think Oregon is a very strange place. There's just a lot going
on here, and I think just the land itself has kind of a unique
energy to it. So I'll just throw that out there. But this was
the first incident. Was in about two eleven. It was Thanksgiving evening.
It's my husband, myself, and friend of ours having Thanksgiving dinner. So
my husband was a smoker. At one point in the evening, he decided
to pop outside and have a cigarette. So he doesn't get very far out
the front door comes back and says, you have to come look at this
right now. So me and my friend got up and we went to the
front door. It was open, and immediately we could see what he's looking
at. And it's a series of red or like an orangeish red balls of
light and they are sitting over small hill that we can see from right outside
our front door. What was this unusual about these is a lot of people
would say, oh, it's probably Chinese lantern or something like that. We've
seen Chinese lanterns before, and they kind of float very easy up into the
sky, and it's very kind of random. These were all sitting in a
perfectly vertical line and all equidistant, so you know, equal distance between each
one of them. Then they started moving horizontally, like one would move horizontal
to the right, one would move horizontal to the left. Then they would
move back into the vertical line. So we were trying to get our old
iPhones at the time to take a video or a picture, and it didn't
really come out great. They just look like points of light. But this
went on for i'd say a good fifteen or so minutes. They were probably
I don't know exactly how far away they were, because you know, maybe
if you held a dime out at arm's length, that's how big they were
in the sky. But they did these maneuvers for you know, that whole
time, so they definitely weren't Chinese lanterns in other words, just a complete
choreographed kind of movement going on with these things. And then at a certain
point in time, they all went further up into the sky kind of in
that vertical line, and then each one disappeared, one after the other,
and that was kind of the end of the show to speak. So no
idea what those were. But I did go online and you know, kind
of googled around for orange lights in the sky and did come up with a
number of other people who were seeing similar things, but in other parts of
the country, So all over the country, it seemed that the year earned
that fall and winter people were seeing these lights. So that was kind of
the first weird thing that happened. The next next, I'd say, was
probably around twenty thirteen, and that was my husband going out late at night,
would go walking and would randomly see crazy stuff in the sky. He
saw something that he said looked like a bright green hourglass that had two diamond
shaped red lights on either side, and that was traveling pretty fast within the
sky. Didn't make a sound. He told me about it, he said,
his lady didn't wake me up or anything. But later on he used
to hang out at the local coffee place. Had struck up a conversation with
another local guy about just seeing weird stuff in the sky in Oregon and described
that one thing, and the guy stopped him and said, wait, you've
seen the hour glass. So it was definitely something that someone else had also
actually seen that was pretty weird. No idea what it was, of course,
it's just one of those unidentified aerial phenomenons. At twenty sixteen, we
had a series of sightings that were all the same object. I think one.
I'd gone out on the deck which faces west, and it was towards
evening time, so the sun was already pretty much set, but it was
still light out, and I saw a very large, bright white light,
round light in an area of the sky that my brain was thinking, like,
that's weird that the moon's over. There was that big and bright,
and obviously it wasn't the moon, but it was over another set of hills
and the other direction, and I only saw it for ten seconds something like
that, because it moved horizontally across the mountain top and then just disappeared.
That mountain top over that on that side there are residences further down the mountain,
but there's nothing on top of that mountain, so no roads or anything.
I always try and look for something logical, you know, when something
like that happens, and I just I had nothing. I don't know what
it was. A few weeks later, I was just sitting in the living
room and the sunset was like really awesome, So I decided I'm going to
go take a look outside, and I see a bright white light coming from
the west to the east, just kind of tooling along at a good clip,
pretty fast moving. But again no sound at all, no blinking lights,
no shape discernible to it. It was just kind of a white light
that went across the sky. We ended up seeing that three other times that
summer. No idea you know what it was. But also so something strange
little later in that year, out camping, another bright white light, but
it was completely dark at this time, clearly not a satellite, bigger,
brighter, but yeah, no idea what that was. And it was going
the same direction oddly, from west to east. So those are those are
pretty much the identified flying object type things that I've seen in Oregon. The
next the next things I'll talk about is just kind of the general weirdness and
more paranormal things that happen here in Oregon. One is we get a sense
that there's something like elemental spirits happening here in Oregon. Like I said,
there's something with the land itself. It seems that it just feels ancient,
something definitely not human, definitely ancient. There is almost everywhere in the particular
area where I live. If you go out in the evening after the sun
has gone down, once it's gotten dark, there's just an unsettling feeling.
I can't really put my finger on it, but it doesn't feel like you
know how Sometimes if you're in like a sketchy area or something and you realize
like, oh, there might you know it's probably not safe to go out.
It's not that it's something entirely different where you can tell there's not a
human element to it. I actually consulted with one of them, the shopkeepers
at a kind of little metaphysical shop in town here, and she says like,
oh, you should try, you know, gritting your property with some
stones and see if that makes a difference. And I did, and it
did, so that was pretty interesting. Whatever is going on out there,
clearly, you know, obeyed the boundary that I put up, and it
does not feel like that's right on my property anymore. But if I go
off the property, I can get that feeling. A friend of mine lives
a little further into town and has got a similar thing going on at the
house there. That house where pretty is haunted in a certain way, not
in any kind of malicious way. It could be some residual thing. There's
been a lot of unusual noises that happen there that are kind of unexplainable.
You'll see things out of the corner of your eye. One time, there's
my friend has cats as well, and we leave the screen door open.
One cat particularly loves to look out the screen door, and there was something
that would come on the porch and kind of frighten the cats. So my
friend said, at one point out of the corner of his eye kind of
looked like cousin. It so kind of a small, kind of furry but
ambiguous, like long fur brown thing, and it was requested of it that
it not scare the cats. And you know, so far, so good.
There there's something in the backyard that my husband, who was a little
he had kind of maybe physical medium or something, he had some abilities,
saw it as a sparkly gray thing that would simply move around the alleyway behind
the house. So it seemed that seemed to be its quote unquote territory where
it would just kind of go back and forth there. And again we didn't
get any kind of malicious feeling or anything off off of these It was just
kind of this is their space or you know, their territory, So kind
of strange there. One night when I was driving home from my parents' place.
They moved up here in twenty thirteen, I believe, and not too
far away, like five miles down the road. It is late, like
ten o'clock at night. I'm coming back, and I see what looks like
it kind of had an animal shape, but not really. It was more
blobby than that, but it looked like it had black, long fur or
some thing. And again it was something out of the core of my eye
on the side of the road. It definitely not a regular animal though,
And oddly enough, a couple of weeks before I saw that, there was
a pretty ridiculous accident that occurred right around that area where a woman who I
think was under the influence of alcohol or something, flipped her Toyota truck and
actually died in these people's front yard. That was right around there. So
seeing something unusual like right where that happened was was kind of odd. Yeah,
there's just a lot of a lot of strangeness here. There's a there's
a county fairground right nearby, and there is there is a very unusual feeling
at the fairgrounds too. The very first time we went there, it was
during a county fair, and the minute we parked and got out of our
car, I just felt like I don't really want to be here. And
the more we walked around, the heavier this feeling, god, until it
was almost bordering, kind of like on an anxiety attack kind of feeling.
It's at one point I said, you know, I just got to get
out of here. We should we should go, and it was about it
was only we'd only spent maybe an hour there, so we left and you
know, as we're driving away, that feeling completely stopped. So something strange
there. I will say that television show The Dead Files has actually been here
to my town twice in their series, and each time it was again something
pretty weird. One of their locations. I actually know where it is as
a house off of the freeway, and it's not too far from the fairgrounds.
It's it's literally, like, I don't know, mabe a quarter mile
something like that. So there's definitely something kind of strange going on in Oregon
in general. Can't say what it is, but there is definitely weirdness here.
So that's pretty much my stories. I could talk about a couple little
things that happened to my father when one was when he was very young,
and one was when he was a teenager. He lived in Pennsylvania, Western
Pennsylvania, so kind of a rural area, small town kind of thing.
He said that when he was very young, him and his mom and dad,
and it was just him and his mom and dad. It wasn't his
brother or sister at the time. I'm not sure where they were, but
they were coming home from somewhere and it was the evening, and he said
that he suddenly saw a bright light above their house and distinctly remembers, you
know, like tugging on his dad's hand or something and saying, look at
that, what is that light? And he says that his parents didn't see
it, like they were just like what light. But it's, you know,
a very distinct memory for him. So he says that the next kind
of thing he remembers is that they were walking into the house, but you
know, somehow they were all in the house at second later and no one
remembers seeing this light. Western Pennsylvania kind of has a lot of tales and
stories and stuff too, but that was one in particular that my dad experienced.
The other was he used to go out into the woods a lot when
he was a kid, do hunting and fishing that sort of thing, and
it felt very comfortable in the woods. He would, you know, stay
the night out in the woods, no tent or anything, just kind of
sleeping under the stars type of thing. And he said one day when he
went out there, it's it was one of those things that he says he'll
never forget because of how unusual it was. There was always sounds in the
woods. This was everything stopped. Everything got completely silent, and you hear
this a lot with stories like this, where no other movement in the woods,
no other sounds, and that's already unusual. But he said that then
the you know, the hair kind of went up on the back of his
neck and he felt like he was being watched again. Still no sound or
anything, but he just got the feeling that he needs to get out of
there, like right away. And you know, being someone who is familiar
with hunting and everything, he he just felt like it was not any kind
of animal like a deer or you know, anything like that. It was
just a very strange feeling. So I ended up just kind of running all
the way back to his house, which is about three miles and it was
very cautious going out into the woods after that. So but that's that's pretty
much pretty much all I can think of as far as stories go. Good
stuff, Sherry. Interesting. What's going on in Oregon? That is the
real question. Yeah, And it's weird because you know, when I was
growing up in California, nothing nothing really unusual happened, and like I said,
you know, I never saw anything weird in the sky other than you
know, meter or something like that. But yeah, it all started happening
moving up here to Oregon, and there's just there's just a certain feeling.
I've been all over Oregon and it's it's a little different depending on the area,
like eastern Oregon or the coast or up in the city in Portland,
but everywhere there just seems to be a feeling of you know, other things
or a foot here. I mean, Oregon it's quite it's quite wooded,
isn't it. It's quite heavily wooded state. Yeah, I would say probably
half the state Eastern Oregon totally different. There's a kind of Central Oregon has
some high pines and things like that. But you're getting into desert and it's
kind of a waste land out there. But the rest of the state is
yeah, very very much wooded, and in those areas, you know,
you can have some very ancient trees that have been there for generations upon generations.
Oh yeah, definitely. I think a lot of things lurk around those
areas. Oh yeah, for sure. There's I mean, there's tons and
tons of big foot stories that come out of Oregon. I don't personally have
a big foot story, but I don't make it a point to go out
into the middle of the woods where once around either. I usually if I
go camping, it's like a regular campground. But yeah, plenty of big
foot stories. I mean, I've always been fascinated with big foots and sasquatches,
And one day I will make it over to not not so much hunting
or attempted observation right as it goes. You know, when you're at any
anywhere in the wilderness, you should always be careful for short and oh yeah,
and be aware of your surroundings because if it isn't maybe a big foot
looking, there could be something equally as aggressive. Maybe that you've you've basically
encroached into their space, you know, and they may not wonder that.
Yeah, there's plenty of non supernatural things, right, and and hazards you
know, like cliffs and you know all of that. There's plenty of weird
stories around Crater Lake. For one, a lot of people that just kind
of disappear out there and are never seen again. And Crater Lake itself has
a very very weird vibe. That is another place where I just do not
feel comfortable at all, you know. And it's beautifully scenic. It's I
think the deepest lake, and of course it's a you know, volcanic crater,
but I think it's the deepest lake in the US. So just just
some unusual things going going around and Crater Lake, if you've never looked into
that, there's some interesting stories. Yeah, that's right. It's a national
park, isn't it. And I believe there is a lot of missing people,
some quite recent as well, because I think David Blydy's had mentioned this
in some of his books around quite a like of his Missing Him four on
one books. Yes, yeah, I think he covered a few of the
stories, a really famous one of you know, a guy that went missing
where they found just I think a pair of pants with like feet bones in
it or something, and way out, way out off of any kind of
trail. And at the time he went missing, there was you know,
like ten feet of snow something like that, so it would be rather impossible
to kind of get out there without you know, serious equipment or snowshoes or
anything, and he had nothing of that sort. So that was one of
the really really unusual ones. People go out into nature a lot of times,
you know, whether they're experienced or not. You know, they go
out, they go ill equipped, they don't have no way of contacting you
know, the outside world is something does happen, and a lot of times,
you know, it is people that just go out on their own and
never seen again. Yeah, exactly, Yeah, pretty freaky, pretty freaky,
indeed, wonderful. Okay, let's go back to the beginning with these
these balls of light. Yeah, the first thing people say is when they
mentioned, you know, balls of orange light, Chinese lanterns, Chinese lanterns.
You know, we've all seen them. And even if you'll see them
for a couple of minutes, it doesn't take long to work out exactly what
they are the ones that you saw. The lights that you saw didn't behave
at all like Chinese lanterns, right, there was some intelligence there, and
this was way before the proliferation of drones things like that, or led light
shows or anything. These lights definitely seem to be independent, so you know,
not attached to one another. There was no light coming up from the
ground, no sound with these, and yeah, moving in formations like that
very purposeful. You know, line all up in a vertical line and then
going off to one side or often and then lining back up in a vertical
line, so very very odd movement. Yeah. I mean, usually when
you see Chinese lanterns, they're usually staggered on like a gradient, aren't they.
They're usually like just rising up one by one, But yours was completely
vertical, which you never really see. And then one shoots off to the
left, one shoots off to the right, and then they go back into
formation again. Yeah, and then all moved up at the same time before
they disappeared, So they stayed in that vertical formation and all moved up,
you know, up and further into the sky, and then one by one
from top to bottom, they all disappeared, so very weird, very weird.
Indeed, of course, it's always a good idea, you know,
to look at things logically, you know, discount things before we obviously jumped
conclusions. I'm sure we've we've all done it, you know, I've I've
seen planes in the sky before and it's taken me at a wall to work
out that's a plane, you know, due to the distance obviously. And
oh yeah, I have kind of a funny story about my husband and I.
We used to be a DJ's back in underground club scene in La back
in the day, and we'd go out to raves and stuff. And this
was you know, late nineties, like nineties, seven ninety eight somewhere around
there. But they would have since we were southern California and the Desert Palm
Desert is not very far away, they would have desert raves. So we
all went out there one night and there were a bunch of people all standing
on a hill, you know, obviously looking at something in the sky.
So I wander over there and I'm like, wait, he's looking at and
like it's a uf O. Man, It's it's it's like, look at
it. It's moving all weird. And yeah, there was a weird light
up in the sky, like moving around all weird. Everything. Turns out
it was somebody with a kite with glow sticks on the kite. So everybody
stood there for at least an hour, you know, convinced it was a
UFO, until the person who was flying the kite kind of came came by
with everyone's up there mesmerized, Yeah, yeah, so so, but yeah,
there's plenty of times where there is a logical explanation for things, but
you know, then there's those times that there isn't and you can't you still
can't assume like, yes, it's you know, aliens from the Pleiades or
something, but you have no idea. You really don't know because there isn't
known phenomenon that behaves the way of the thing that you saw. That's absolutely
right, you know. And these sight ins they are regular, you know
regular. I get emails daily, oh yeah, absolutely, date well sometimes
hourly. In fact, even even even in a time we've been speaking about
free emails come in, so so it's it's a regular thing. I think
more people are looking now too than ever before us. It just seems that,
you know, it's obviously there's the whole disclosure thing and all that going
on, and they're just more and more people aware of things. And I
think it's good to look for, you know, the unusual in life,
you know, look for things that just don't make sense or whatnot. There's
a there's too much in the universe to really kind of assume that you know
everything that's going on. Yeah, I agree, it's important that we do
look up. I mean, fair enough, you can, you know,
look down and tweet about it after, but you know, spend time absorbing,
absorbing nature, you know, and looking up and seeing what's there.
And I think that the whole looking for this, this magic in this mystery
takes us back to when we were kids, you know, when everything was
exciting and magical and didn't really know how David Copperfield worked in those days.
So you know, it's you know, it's exciting. You know, it's
exciting to chase these things. Oh absolutely, you know, living in Oregon,
obviously it's a bit change than California. Yea, hopefully it's better,
a better change is even though it's a bit bit strange up there. Yeah,
these feelings that you would get, would you would you consider yourself a
sensitive at all. Yeah, I definitely would say that I don't have kind
of I wouldn't really call myself a medium per se, but I definitely would
say I'm more empathic. I do get a sense of feeling when something isn't
right or you know, when something's about to happen kind of thing, and
you know, occasionally I'll get a little kind of premonition e type of stuff
like that. But yeah, I don't think everybody feels it obviously. It
would just be you know, people who are kind of sensitive to energy or
really paying attention would be more apt to feel it. I mean, people
that say live there probably completely used to that the strangeness, so it's completely
normal to them. But anyone which you know, is from out of state
and then goes up there and it's like wow, yeah, would you it's
like a heavy feet and all it kind of is. It's just it's an
unsettling feeling. It's and it varies, like I said, by area,
Like the feeling out where I'm at, which is about five miles outside of
town, would be yeah, just kind of an unsettling feeling where something in
your head is just telling you you need to get back inside you know,
you shouldn't be out here right now. And that's after the sun goes down.
When the sun is still up and there's light in the sky, totally
different feeling like it feels very comfortable. But as soon as it gets dark,
and it seems so cliche, you know, when it gets dark,
a creepy feeling comes. But it's true, like I don't know what it
is about it, but there's just something where something is telling you, like,
don't be out here right now. So some ominous maybe a little bit.
I wouldn't call it get you know, dart or evil or you know,
anything like that, but it's just a feeling that this isn't like your
realm right now, something like something else going on. So the sun is
going down, it's time for the others to come out and play exactly.
So to our listeners, you know, if you're if you're from Oregon or
you've moved to Oregon and you've noticed, you know pretty much what that's the
same as Jerry is talking about, get in contact to like to like to
hear that. And would you said, you know when you visited the County
Fair, Yeah, it could have been you know, if you are as
sensitive then it could be a feeling of danger that something could have happened,
or you know, you may have got ripped off, maybe some shenanigans on
some of the some of the some of the rides and games. Maybe,
so maybe it was danger and it was you know, good out, good
out of you right there. Of course, are a lot of you know,
indigenous stories about the area too, and I know there was a rather
awful battle that happened between settlers and the indigenous people that happened not too far
from here. So there's that. There's also when I talk about the energy
of the land. Crater Lake itself was a new massive volcano at one time,
and thousands of years ago I think it was six thousand or so years
ago it blew, and you know, the peoples that were here at the
time, you know, definitely made note of that. But when something very
cataclysmic like that happens in an area, I think it can often hold an
energy with it too. And this area, while we're still we're like seventy
miles west of Crater Lake proper, maybe seventy eighty miles, it's still like
that that blast when that thing went off, went all the way to the
coast. So this whole area is covered with you know, volcanic remains from
when that mountain blew. Yeah, and these memories and these these energies stay
within the land, you know, and yeah, interesting good stuff. Yeah.
I actually drew a little picture of cousin it here, I take.
I'd take little notes and stuff, and so knows to do little drawings,
and I've got a little little cousin it, imagine. Yeah, that was
an interesting That was an interesting one. I just like that. It actually
kind of you know, you can talk to these things and say, you
know, um, it would be really nice if you wouldn't. The cats
are kind of a little fraid to you. It would be nice if you
don't come up here on the porch and and it you know, obeyed that.
So can't be all bad, right, No, they can't be all
bad if they're you know, they're listening and doing as you you're asking.
Yeah, Arth spirits always interested me. Earth spirits is not something you hear
like elementals. You don't really hate are of them too much. But they've
been around for very long, and they're in ancient teachings and ancient stories,
and again it's their land. You know, they live in the trees,
and many different cultures around the world have very similar stories of these spirits that
live in trees. Oh sure, so you should always be aware of our
spirits. I don't think that all they can always be good. I think
sometimes they can be a bit mean sometimes if you you know, obviously,
if you're up no good in their on their land and their area. But
yeah, our spirits fascinate me. Yeah, me too, I mean,
and that was something I did not a lot of in California. Could be
just because there's just so much going on in southern California now with people on
traffic and you know, hustle and bustle and everything, and up here there's
a lot less of that, so you're just able to kind of focus in
more on things that are going on in the natural world. So, you
know, I'm sure they're everywhere, but just more noticeable in some areas.
Yeah, I think definitely. If you go northern California to the redwoods and
the Sequoias, I'm sure to be I'm sure to be up there. Not
just what we wore. The redwoods have a vibe all of them all to
themselves that you feel like you've stepped back in time when you're in some of
those ancient Redwood groves. Really kind of amazing. Yeah, that's a place.
I've always wanted to go there as a kid. Yeah, visit there
since I think since since watching Star Wars. I think, yeah, that
place is amazing. Yeah. Yeah, and that is the better Redwoods to
go to too, in my opinion, it's the one where that they filmed
what was it, Empire Strikes Back or something. Yeah, Return of the
Jedi, Return of the Jedi. Wonderful stuff, fascinating Cherry. Yeah,
no, thanks for doing this, Nick. I know you've got, you
know, tons and tons of shows. I haven't been through, very interesting
stuff. I love to listen to stories as well, just you know,
just hear other people's experiences. Anytime something matches up your own experience to you're
like, oh cool, you know, yeah, of course it's if someone
else has had the same as you, You're like, well, at least
I'm not crazy, or at least there's at least two crazy people in the
world just like me. And you know, it's forever growing. The more
episodes I do, you know, the more similar stories I have coming out
like yourself, the guests that come on the show haven't told their stories anywhere
else. You know. They may have told family members or the occasional colleague,
but they've basically kept it to themselves. So it's nice that there is
a place where people can come and share these, you know, I think
that not so much entertainment or more as like a campfire. More as a
camp fire people telling stories right now, it's like a digital campfire, right,
Yeah, that's a good way, digital campfire. Write that one down
if you're wonderful. Yeah, Sherry, I really appreciate you coming on sharing
that for our listeners. Thanks for having it, no problem. Keep in
contact all right, and I will talk to you soon. Okay, Okay,
take that. Thanks for that. Right. That's all for this week.
I'm afraid keep up dated and connected with the show on Twitter, Facebook,
and Instagram. And if you have an encounter that you'd like to share
on the podcast, you can email me at UFO Chronicles at gmail dot com,
or you can reach out to me via a contact page on my website
UFO Chronicles podcast dot com. A big thank you to John and Sherry for
sharing tonight, and thank you all for listening. I will be back next
week till then, stay safe and keep watching the skies. Goodbye,
