1 00:00:05,960 --> 00:00:09,679 Speaker 1: This is an interesting story. And we've done several lost 2 00:00:09,720 --> 00:00:13,519 time events in people's lives where they encounter something odd 3 00:00:13,519 --> 00:00:16,760 and they lose hours, sometime days of time, and this 4 00:00:16,839 --> 00:00:19,800 is what this is, and it's real interesting. I hope 5 00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:21,920 you enjoy it. I know it's a little stressful for 6 00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:25,960 the writer, but it's a good story. My story begins 7 00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:28,920 twenty years ago on a hot summer night in Georgia. 8 00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:33,119 My best friend Brandon and I were enjoying our summer 9 00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:37,039 break before eighth grade began in a few weeks. We 10 00:00:37,079 --> 00:00:40,280 had attended church with my uncle and his family that night, 11 00:00:40,359 --> 00:00:42,320 and I would love to say it was because we 12 00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:46,479 were young Christian youths looking for Jesus, but the truth 13 00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:49,799 is my buddy had a crush on my aunt's niece, 14 00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:54,320 who would regularly attend church with them. Guilty done that 15 00:00:54,479 --> 00:00:58,359 before the crush is what led to an event in 16 00:00:58,399 --> 00:01:00,960 my life. I still can't expect lane or seemed to 17 00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:05,239 get out of my mind even twenty years later. The 18 00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:08,560 sun had just dipped below the hills when a familiar itch, 19 00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:12,319 a young man Field, struck my friend and he decided 20 00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:15,439 that the two hours at church with my cousin just 21 00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:19,840 wasn't enough to scratch that itch. My family all lived 22 00:01:19,879 --> 00:01:22,640 close at that time, and it would only mean a 23 00:01:22,719 --> 00:01:25,640 short walk to the top of the hill up Green Road, 24 00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:30,280 so I agreed, despite being thoroughly aggravated at the prospect 25 00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:34,439 of sharing my friend with my cousin. We had only 26 00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:36,760 been on the road long enough to get thirty five 27 00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:39,680 feet from the house when our attention was caught by 28 00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:42,439 a sudden appearance of a pair of lights at the 29 00:01:42,519 --> 00:01:47,000 edge of my yard. There were like two brilliant spotlights 30 00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:50,400 shining straight down into the Georgia pines at the edge 31 00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:52,920 of the woodline up the hill from where we stood. 32 00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:56,560 There were thirty feet or so above the treetops and 33 00:01:56,719 --> 00:02:00,799 seemingly coming from a single point before fanning out slightly 34 00:02:00,879 --> 00:02:05,359 to either side. If you've ever seen the batman's spotlight, 35 00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:09,000 it was similar, but instead of shining up into the sky, 36 00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:12,800 they were shining down. The odd thing is that the 37 00:02:12,879 --> 00:02:17,639 lights never penetrated the tree canopy. They stopped midair, about 38 00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:21,080 ten feet above the tree tops, and then created circles 39 00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:24,960 of light like the bat symbol. It was almost like 40 00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:28,159 there was a sheet of dirty glass between whatever was 41 00:02:28,199 --> 00:02:32,639 emitting the lights and the trees. The two lights did 42 00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:36,680 a sort of dance around one another, very slowly at first, 43 00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:39,800 but they quickly sped up to a point of a blur, 44 00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:44,319 and then they vanished. During the light show, the area 45 00:02:44,479 --> 00:02:47,879 was completely silent, and nothing seemed to move or make 46 00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:51,960 any sound. As I think on this now, it seems 47 00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:55,639 even more strange because that summer we had a zucada 48 00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:59,439 hatch and if you've ever heard them on warm nights, 49 00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:03,919 you know I mean. So, just like that, the lights 50 00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:06,800 were gone, the sound of the night returned with a 51 00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:10,960 collective gas by my friend and I. The entire series 52 00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:14,879 of events only lasted four or five seconds. I know 53 00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:17,599 most people think they would flip out if something like 54 00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:20,639 that happened to them, but that isn't what happens at all. 55 00:03:21,719 --> 00:03:24,280 We just continued to walk up the hill when a 56 00:03:24,319 --> 00:03:27,439 thought came to me. I said, wait, man, we didn't 57 00:03:27,439 --> 00:03:31,159 hear anything before those lights came on. What if whatever 58 00:03:31,199 --> 00:03:34,599 that was is still there? I said, Well, this gave 59 00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:37,120 us the creep, so we turned around to head back 60 00:03:37,159 --> 00:03:41,240 and tell my family. To our surprise, we were locked 61 00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:43,199 out of the house and no one would answer the 62 00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:46,319 front door. So we tried the back and again there 63 00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:50,319 was no answer. We finally decided to try out my 64 00:03:50,439 --> 00:03:53,319 bedroom window and were able to get inside, but to 65 00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:57,000 our continued surprise, every light in the house was off 66 00:03:57,039 --> 00:04:01,280 and everyone was asleep. Checked the clock on the living 67 00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:05,360 room wall and it read ten minutes past midnight. Now 68 00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:08,199 I've read about this type of thing happening since then, 69 00:04:08,639 --> 00:04:12,599 where people are missing time. The time is just gone 70 00:04:12,599 --> 00:04:16,399 and that's all you're left with. While we were surprised 71 00:04:16,399 --> 00:04:19,639 at these events, we still never lost our composure or 72 00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:22,959 got excited or afraid. And we really didn't talk about 73 00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:26,120 it that much. I know that sounds odd, and it 74 00:04:26,199 --> 00:04:30,040 feels odd too, but that's what it was like. We 75 00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:33,959 were calm and a little confused. We even went back 76 00:04:33,959 --> 00:04:36,240 to my window to stand out in the night air. 77 00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:40,360 And then the urged pea hit me hard, and at 78 00:04:40,439 --> 00:04:43,240 that moment Brandon said, oh, dang, man, I got a 79 00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:46,600 pee too. So we did what nature allows any young 80 00:04:46,639 --> 00:04:49,120 man to do, and we peed on the grass out 81 00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:53,519 the window, and I noticed a sensation of burning. And 82 00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:56,519 again my buddy spoke up and he said, man, this burns. 83 00:04:58,199 --> 00:05:01,399 I imagine those reading or listening to this story think 84 00:05:01,519 --> 00:05:04,600 this might be an embellishment of sort but to me 85 00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:08,120 in that moment, it only solidified the event in my mind. 86 00:05:09,639 --> 00:05:12,439 I don't tell this story anymore because people seem to 87 00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:15,319 lose a little respect for me when I do, and 88 00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:19,800 I don't blame them for that. It's just human nature. However, 89 00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:22,800 I did confide these events to a friend a few 90 00:05:22,879 --> 00:05:25,759 years ago, and he made a suggestion that caused the 91 00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:28,480 thought to enter my mind that creased me out even now. 92 00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:33,759 He suggested that I do regressive hypnosis to uncover any 93 00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:38,160 potentially hidden memories from my missing time. That was when 94 00:05:38,199 --> 00:05:41,279 I realized that if I can't remember something that happened 95 00:05:41,319 --> 00:05:44,519 when I was awake and maybe I was taken, then 96 00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:48,720 how many times was I taken while sleeping? Then what 97 00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:51,519 if I'm still being taken? And if I am, do 98 00:05:51,639 --> 00:05:54,959 I really want to walk around knowing about it? Well, 99 00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:58,079 the answer for me is a big fat no. While 100 00:05:58,079 --> 00:06:00,720 I would like to learn more about what exacts happened 101 00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:04,959 to us, I've learned that being happy and being right 102 00:06:05,199 --> 00:06:08,680 don't always line up. That's the end, and that you 103 00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:11,560 know that last statement really hits a chord with me, 104 00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:14,879 because let's say this happens to you. There are some 105 00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:17,759 people who just have to know. They have to know 106 00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:20,920 what's happened to them, and we don't. Well, I don't 107 00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:24,439 think we really know with these missing time events. It 108 00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:27,759 could be an anomaly that's common in the human brain, 109 00:06:28,519 --> 00:06:31,800 or you could, I guess, you could be actually being 110 00:06:31,879 --> 00:06:35,879 taken by I don't know ets. Maybe maybe that's the answer. 111 00:06:36,639 --> 00:06:39,879 But he says that he doesn't want to know. He's 112 00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:43,360 happy like he is. He's not injured in any way, 113 00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:46,920 he doesn't it doesn't limit his life. And I'm assuming 114 00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:49,560 these things, but if he's happy, that's kind of a 115 00:06:49,639 --> 00:06:52,920 common thing to assume. But he's not. He's not dealing 116 00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:57,120 with any PTSD or anything like that, and he just 117 00:06:57,199 --> 00:07:00,600 doesn't want to know. Me. On the other hand, I 118 00:07:00,639 --> 00:07:03,920 think I would want to know. I've actually been through 119 00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:08,639 hypnosis once. I had a guy in an office building 120 00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:11,360 that I worked at that I worked in one time, 121 00:07:11,399 --> 00:07:14,680 and he was a hypnosis guy. He was a hypnotist 122 00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:17,759 and he would hypnotize people to help them lose weight, 123 00:07:17,879 --> 00:07:21,519 or to help them quit smoking, or you know. I mean, 124 00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:24,319 I'm sure there's a number of things that people want 125 00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:27,720 to be hypnotized for, and apparently it helps a lot 126 00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:29,759 of people. It didn't help me, I went for to 127 00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:33,600 try to quit smoking, and I've never quit smoking. I 128 00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:36,519 don't smoke but two or three cigarettes a day now. 129 00:07:36,839 --> 00:07:39,120 I have a couple in the morning with my coffee, 130 00:07:39,519 --> 00:07:42,759 but that's all I smoke. And I'll have a dip 131 00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:45,040 of skull a couple of times a day, but that 132 00:07:45,439 --> 00:07:49,560 seems to satisfy my nicotine craving. And maybe I guess 133 00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:52,480 maybe that hypnosis helped, but I know it took ten 134 00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:55,199 years after that for me to decide, you know, man, 135 00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:57,560 I need to cut down on smoking these cigarettes, and 136 00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:01,639 so I did. And so hypnosis works for some people, 137 00:08:01,639 --> 00:08:04,439 it doesn't for others. I know that when he was 138 00:08:04,519 --> 00:08:08,000 hypnotizing me, I did go to sleep, and so maybe 139 00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:10,800 there was something going on in my subconscious while he 140 00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:14,680 had me so relaxed in that chair that maybe it 141 00:08:14,839 --> 00:08:18,920 just didn't get through to my brain my subconscious, if 142 00:08:19,079 --> 00:08:22,560 that's what happens. But anyway, it's an interesting story, and 143 00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:26,240 these time loss stories are fascinating to me, so I 144 00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:28,240 thought i'd share it with you. I appreciate the writer 145 00:08:28,439 --> 00:08:33,720 sending it. Thank you. Okay, this looks like a dog 146 00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:37,080 man's story and it's it's it's pretty creepy. It's a 147 00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:39,559 little creepy. It's kind of short. Let's see what the 148 00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:43,519 writer says. It was a summer between my seventh and 149 00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:45,960 eighth grade years. It was in the middle of the 150 00:08:46,039 --> 00:08:50,240 nineteen nineties in South Carolina. I was spending all my 151 00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:52,559 time at a friend's house in the country near a 152 00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:56,919 pipeline that was being restored. We had lots of Shenanigans 153 00:08:56,960 --> 00:09:00,080 to keep us busy. We would run wild all day 154 00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:03,480 and camp in his front yard at night with his dog, Apache, 155 00:09:03,519 --> 00:09:06,679 which he claimed to be a wolf hybrid. I just 156 00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:09,720 thought Apache was a Nakita mix that resembled a wolf, 157 00:09:10,039 --> 00:09:13,240 wasn't really a wolf. There was a night or two 158 00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:15,399 we let a patche off the chain to run off 159 00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:18,759 the wild dogs that would occasionally come through here. That 160 00:09:18,919 --> 00:09:21,600 was a sight to see. And some of the dogs 161 00:09:21,639 --> 00:09:24,679 Apache fought off were much larger, but he went after 162 00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:28,720 them anyway. This dog wasn't afraid of anything. This will 163 00:09:28,759 --> 00:09:31,759 have a bearing on the story. In a minute, we 164 00:09:31,759 --> 00:09:34,200 were sitting by a fire we had just built with 165 00:09:34,279 --> 00:09:37,879 a patchee and talking about nothing like junior high school 166 00:09:37,919 --> 00:09:41,480 boys do, and we noticed a patche moved behind us. 167 00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:45,639 He was whimpering and his tail was tucked. We were 168 00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:48,919 confused and started looking around to see why Apache would 169 00:09:48,919 --> 00:09:52,720 act so strange. Then, on the road up the hill, 170 00:09:52,919 --> 00:09:55,320 I saw the biggest white dog I have ever seen. 171 00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:58,399 I told my friend to look at that dog, and 172 00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:00,759 he saw it and he said, that ain't no dog. 173 00:10:01,919 --> 00:10:04,879 We started shushing each other because fear was sitting in. 174 00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:08,279 The creature was one hundred yards away on a paved road, 175 00:10:08,399 --> 00:10:13,679 standing on four legs, and our great decision making process 176 00:10:13,799 --> 00:10:17,080 of youth, we thought it would go away, and we 177 00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:23,279 sat motionless, waiting and watching. But it didn't go away. Instead, 178 00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:26,320 it began to stroll toward us in a casual manner. 179 00:10:27,519 --> 00:10:31,399 Apache still wanted no part of this. He had moved 180 00:10:31,399 --> 00:10:33,679 to the edge of his chain, trying to get back 181 00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:38,519 to the house. The dog's nervous behavior only fed my fear, 182 00:10:38,519 --> 00:10:41,000 and I wanted to run, but where was I going 183 00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:45,000 to go? Stay still, my friend said, I think it'll 184 00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:49,600 walk on past down the road. Just stay still. In reality, 185 00:10:49,759 --> 00:10:53,000 it took the creature a minute to close half the distance, 186 00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:56,159 but it felt like an hour. Now it was at 187 00:10:56,159 --> 00:10:59,399 the driveway, and that's where it stopped and stood up 188 00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:03,799 on its high legs and then continued toward us. That 189 00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:06,279 was all it took for us to break our strategy 190 00:11:06,279 --> 00:11:09,720 of sitting still. We were closer to the house than 191 00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:12,480 the creature was to us, and it was now or never, 192 00:11:12,639 --> 00:11:16,000 so we unhooked a patche and ran like lightning to 193 00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:20,279 the front porch while my buddy fumbled with the doorknob. 194 00:11:20,519 --> 00:11:23,919 I took a second look back. I expected the creature 195 00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:27,519 to be pursuing us, but it wasn't. It had stopped 196 00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:31,440 where we had been sitting before. Its six foot tall 197 00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:34,879 frame was illuminated by the orange glow from the fire. 198 00:11:35,639 --> 00:11:38,559 Get that door open, I screamed, and I heard it 199 00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:40,799 fly open, and we fought each other and the dog 200 00:11:40,879 --> 00:11:44,039 to get inside. Then we slammed the door behind us. 201 00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:50,840 Apache ran to a back room immediately, brave old Apache. 202 00:11:50,919 --> 00:11:53,679 A sofa was promptly shoved in front of the door, 203 00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:55,759 and we quickly went to the window to see if 204 00:11:55,759 --> 00:11:58,960 this thing had come closer. But there was nothing there. 205 00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:03,360 Apparently lee it had left, only the flickering flames of 206 00:12:03,399 --> 00:12:07,519 a dying campfire. I stayed there that night because I 207 00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:11,159 wasn't leaving that house before daylight, and we didn't sleep 208 00:12:11,159 --> 00:12:15,440 at all. I didn't stay at my friends again until 209 00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:18,919 after he moved from that place, and every so often 210 00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:23,039 we talk about that night. He swears it was a werewolf. 211 00:12:23,279 --> 00:12:25,639 But all I know is that I saw a huge 212 00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:30,480 dog that started walking on its hind legs. Dogs aren't 213 00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:34,039 supposed to do that. Yep, that was a dog man's story. 214 00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:39,480 And can you imagine seeing a giant white dog walk 215 00:12:39,519 --> 00:12:42,799 into your yard and then eventually stand up on its 216 00:12:42,879 --> 00:12:45,960 hind legs and start walking to you? What would you do? 217 00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:49,480 I think I'd be so paralyzed. I might just sit 218 00:12:49,519 --> 00:12:51,360 there and just watch it till it got right up 219 00:12:51,399 --> 00:12:53,360 on me. I don't know. I don't know what I 220 00:12:53,399 --> 00:12:56,720 would do, but that's pretty speaky. I really appreciate this 221 00:12:56,799 --> 00:12:58,879 story from the writer. You did a good job right 222 00:12:58,919 --> 00:13:00,799 in it, and I enjoy reading it, and I hope 223 00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:06,919 the audience liked it too. Thanks. Hey, this is a 224 00:13:06,919 --> 00:13:09,240 bigfoot story. I'm pretty sure I haven't read all the 225 00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:11,960 way through it, but it looked to know it's not 226 00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:15,480 a bigfoot story, but that's okay. It's a really good story. 227 00:13:15,519 --> 00:13:17,879 And if you guys hear a saw in the background, 228 00:13:18,519 --> 00:13:21,080 that's my old lady out there doing some carpentry work. 229 00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:25,720 She wanted some macaroni and cheese tonight. That's kind of 230 00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:28,200 a luxury for her, and I told her, I said, well, 231 00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:31,240 if you're going to get macaroni and cheese, you're going 232 00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:34,320 to have to do that finished carpentry work inside the house. 233 00:13:34,399 --> 00:13:37,159 And so she's busy doing that. But let's get to 234 00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:40,759 this story. This occurred in two thousand and five and 235 00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:44,679 tuck Willa, Washington, in the mid spring, at three point 236 00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:47,639 thirty pm in the afternoon. I'd like to share the 237 00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:50,120 story with you, which to this day still makes me 238 00:13:50,159 --> 00:13:54,639 shrink on the inside, wanting to become very small. It 239 00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:57,200 only lasted a couple of minutes, but this short event 240 00:13:57,279 --> 00:13:59,720 filled me with the heavy, dark feeling of the ultimate 241 00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:03,759 of my existence. I've only shared this with a handful 242 00:14:03,799 --> 00:14:06,279 of people, and even then they give me the look 243 00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:10,639 of oh whatever, with a sideways grin. And this is 244 00:14:10,639 --> 00:14:15,000 a familiar reaction to my story. I'm sixty years old 245 00:14:15,039 --> 00:14:17,440 now and beginning to understand that if I don't share 246 00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:20,799 my experiences, someday they will go to the grave with 247 00:14:20,879 --> 00:14:24,559 me and then no one will have heard them. At 248 00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:27,919 this time in my life, ridicule is no longer a concern. 249 00:14:28,279 --> 00:14:32,080 So you can believe my story or not. My story 250 00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:35,519 starts with me walking to work to begin my night 251 00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:40,159 shift at a manufacturing company. My shift was from six 252 00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:44,000 pm to six am. I lived four blocks from work, 253 00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:48,240 therefore I always walked. I would leave home at five 254 00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:51,399 pm and take my time and enjoy the walk. The 255 00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:55,559 walking path I followed ran along the Green River. I 256 00:14:55,679 --> 00:14:57,519 was starting at the head of the path with a 257 00:14:57,559 --> 00:15:02,039 slight downward incline. It was a beautiful, warm, clear spring 258 00:15:02,159 --> 00:15:05,000 day with no wind, and as I was looking ahead, 259 00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:08,720 something dark caught my attention from my right and slightly 260 00:15:08,799 --> 00:15:11,480 high above the tree line, towards the mall, which was 261 00:15:11,519 --> 00:15:15,519 two blocks in that direction. I turned my head slightly 262 00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:20,080 to see I saw the right profile of it. This 263 00:15:20,159 --> 00:15:23,639 creature was black and appeared to be humanoid. It had 264 00:15:23,679 --> 00:15:26,960 black wings and legs. It was in the position of 265 00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:29,120 a bird that is about to reach down and grab 266 00:15:29,159 --> 00:15:32,799 its prey. I turned my attention forward and I was 267 00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:35,759 hit with a feeling of fear. I felt dread, as 268 00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:38,840 if I were a field mouse in an open area. 269 00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:42,320 My mind was telling me that it was a blackbird 270 00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:45,159 swooping down, but then another part was saying, what the 271 00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:48,279 hell is this thing? I turned my head to the 272 00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:50,759 right again to look, and there it was, in the 273 00:15:50,799 --> 00:15:54,639 same spot. It hadn't moved. It looked like a bird, 274 00:15:54,679 --> 00:15:57,759 but with legs and arms held slightly out from its body, 275 00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:01,879 with what looked like a head like a bird at all. 276 00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:06,720 Its wings were held back in the lily. Its wings 277 00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:09,559 were held back in the position of a bird of prey, 278 00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:13,120 and then it was swooping down. My mind was trying 279 00:16:13,159 --> 00:16:16,080 to take it all in, and warning signals were going 280 00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:19,200 off crazily in my mind, telling me to move slowly, 281 00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:23,039 in quietly. And at the same time I was beginning 282 00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:26,039 to realize that this thing was hovering in the direction 283 00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:29,559 of the shopping mall and a little bit above it. However, 284 00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:33,240 that was two blocks away. Well, how could I see 285 00:16:33,279 --> 00:16:36,720 any of this detail? It is so far away that 286 00:16:36,799 --> 00:16:39,120 I should only be able to see a black spot. 287 00:16:39,679 --> 00:16:44,000 But finally I understood that this thing was large. I 288 00:16:44,039 --> 00:16:47,480 shifted my gaze forward to determine how much farther until 289 00:16:47,519 --> 00:16:50,120 I was down this incline and out of sight, and 290 00:16:50,159 --> 00:16:53,919 it was fifty feet away. I looked again to see, 291 00:16:54,279 --> 00:16:56,639 and of course it was still in the same position 292 00:16:56,759 --> 00:17:00,559 and giving me that feeling of pure dread. No desire 293 00:17:00,679 --> 00:17:03,879 to stop and look. All I cared about was getting 294 00:17:03,919 --> 00:17:07,839 to work after a third look, I just focused on 295 00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:11,039 getting to the location of not being seen or seeing it. 296 00:17:11,839 --> 00:17:14,559 I made it to work early and was still feeling scared. 297 00:17:15,759 --> 00:17:18,200 Later in the shift, I shared my experience with a 298 00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:22,079 coworker and I received laughter. I shut up after that, 299 00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:25,039 and I didn't talk about this for many years. And 300 00:17:25,079 --> 00:17:27,759 over the years I've tried to grasp what I had seen. 301 00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:32,680 I honestly don't know. Maybe I don't need to know yet, 302 00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:35,519 even to this very day, when I think about this, 303 00:17:36,039 --> 00:17:40,559 the feeling of fear is still present. This writer has 304 00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:44,599 a second experience, and here is that one. There was 305 00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:48,079 a short incident that happened four months later. It was 306 00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:50,640 the first part of July and it was one pm 307 00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:54,039 in the afternoon. I was walking in the parking lot 308 00:17:54,079 --> 00:17:57,720 of the same shopping mall as my previous experience. I 309 00:17:57,799 --> 00:18:00,400 was halfway across the large parking lot. I had my 310 00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:04,400 headphones on and I was listening to music. Suddenly I 311 00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:07,480 had the feeling that something was flying above me, now 312 00:18:07,599 --> 00:18:10,200 duck down. And at the same time I saw a 313 00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:13,200 shadow pass and it was shaped like a large bird. 314 00:18:14,559 --> 00:18:16,279 I could see that it was a shadow of a 315 00:18:16,319 --> 00:18:19,119 wing that measured end to end at least twenty feet, 316 00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:23,720 but that was a poor guess at best. I immediately 317 00:18:23,759 --> 00:18:26,559 stopped and I looked up. There was nothing in the 318 00:18:26,599 --> 00:18:30,880 sky except for a few high, white, thin clouds. I 319 00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:32,680 looked to see if it was a plane, and there 320 00:18:32,839 --> 00:18:36,200 was none. I did a complete three sixty looking up 321 00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:40,440 and I still saw nothing. I raced to the entrance 322 00:18:40,519 --> 00:18:43,200 and once again having that feeling of being a field 323 00:18:43,279 --> 00:18:46,519 mouse out in the open. I don't know what I 324 00:18:46,559 --> 00:18:49,279 saw on those two occasions, but I think they may 325 00:18:49,319 --> 00:18:53,359 have been related. Whatever it was, it gave me the 326 00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:58,039 feeling of being prey, like I was hunted. Well, that 327 00:18:58,119 --> 00:19:00,279 about covers the subject, and you can tell make it 328 00:19:00,319 --> 00:19:03,000 for what it's worth. Thank you for your time and 329 00:19:03,079 --> 00:19:07,000 for allowing me to share my experiences. One final thought 330 00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:09,720 is that I've noticed that people who have had strange 331 00:19:09,839 --> 00:19:12,319 encounters seem to be able to check a few boxes 332 00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:16,680 off in the crypto or paranormal or even UFO categories. 333 00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:19,240 I know that I can check a few of those 334 00:19:19,279 --> 00:19:23,559 boxes myself, and all are in the category of I 335 00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:27,240 just don't know what I saw. Oh, very good story, 336 00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:30,799 I mean this guy is like plagued with this huge 337 00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:35,640 black winged creature. Maybe it's the moth Man. See, I 338 00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:38,160 don't know much about the moth Man. I've see pictures 339 00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:40,480 of it and I see I think there was a movie. 340 00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:43,799 Richard Geared di in a movie about it. I've seen 341 00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:49,440 advertisements on social media of Mothman festivals. I've never really 342 00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:52,519 looked into the Mothman thing, but that this could be 343 00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:56,680 kind of a Mothman thing. I'm guessing. I mean, what 344 00:19:56,799 --> 00:19:59,359 do I know. I have no idea. I just recite 345 00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:01,960 these stories, but it kind of sounds like it. Or 346 00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:06,759 it could be a terrordoctyl. You never know. Terrordoctyls, God 347 00:20:06,799 --> 00:20:09,079 guess could exist, and I know there's people out there 348 00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:12,119 who think they do, and they might be right. You 349 00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:14,559 never know. Thank you to the writer for the story. 350 00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:21,000 It was really really interesting. My friend and I spent 351 00:20:21,039 --> 00:20:24,559 a weekend camping at Rock Lake in Algonquin Park one 352 00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:28,240 summer about five years ago. I had no idea what 353 00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:31,759 was about to happen. If I had, I know, I 354 00:20:31,759 --> 00:20:35,200 wouldn't have even gone there in the first place. We 355 00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:38,599 were fooling around using my green laser pointer to point 356 00:20:38,599 --> 00:20:42,039 out a ton of objects that we observed moving about 357 00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:45,799 and at flashing lights in the sky. It appeared that 358 00:20:45,839 --> 00:20:50,880 these lights were communicating with each other. After this amazing experience, 359 00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:54,200 we hit the tent to sleep. It had two rooms 360 00:20:54,319 --> 00:20:57,839 with the front screen porch keep the bugs out. We 361 00:20:57,880 --> 00:21:00,000 settled in for the night and put the fire out, 362 00:21:00,039 --> 00:21:03,200 and we went to sleep. I woke to the zippers 363 00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:06,559 on my tent having been opened. I didn't know what 364 00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:09,839 time it was, but it was still pitch black outside. 365 00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:12,920 With my eyes closed, I was thinking that it was 366 00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:15,880 probably my friend next to me, who may have woken 367 00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:21,000 to relieve himself. I enjoy drinking, probably a little too much, 368 00:21:21,039 --> 00:21:23,480 and we had quite a buzz on. I thought it 369 00:21:23,519 --> 00:21:26,039 was him staggering over the wrong side of the tent, 370 00:21:26,559 --> 00:21:29,119 and I heard a long zip and then another long zip. 371 00:21:29,759 --> 00:21:32,440 My friend knows that I like to unzip each end 372 00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:35,759 of the center and not completely to one side. I 373 00:21:35,799 --> 00:21:38,559 could tell from the sound that it was being unzipped. 374 00:21:38,799 --> 00:21:42,519 How I would prefer it not be unzipped. Oh well, 375 00:21:42,559 --> 00:21:45,519 he was drunk, so I didn't expect anything else from him. 376 00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:49,799 I said, hey, Brad, wrong side bro. As I heard 377 00:21:49,839 --> 00:21:52,480 the zipping of the tent door opening repeated, but this 378 00:21:52,599 --> 00:21:56,599 time louder. Hey, Brad, I said, but there was no response, 379 00:21:57,000 --> 00:22:00,640 and I opened my eyes. There was the most terrified sight, 380 00:22:00,799 --> 00:22:04,640 beyond what I could have even imagined. A creature was 381 00:22:04,759 --> 00:22:08,359 crouched down looking in my tent. I thought it was 382 00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:10,720 a human at first, but it was staring at my 383 00:22:10,839 --> 00:22:15,880 face with huge, glowing green eyes. Naturally, I freaked out 384 00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:18,480 and slapped the tent floor and ground as hard as 385 00:22:18,559 --> 00:22:21,480 I could, like a bullet. This creature took off into 386 00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:25,119 the darkness, with branches and things breaking as it thankfully 387 00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:29,119 ran off. I have camped solo since then, but not 388 00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:32,920 at that place. I can't honestly say what it was, 389 00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:35,400 but I have never heard of an animal opening a 390 00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:38,079 zipper of a tent. Now, I tell you what I 391 00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:41,640 was terrified. Until you encounter something like this, you have 392 00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:45,279 no idea how you react. One thing I do know 393 00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:47,759 is that most people would get out of there as 394 00:22:47,759 --> 00:22:51,440 soon as physically possible, and that's what we did. It 395 00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:53,799 took a little effort to get Brad up and going, 396 00:22:53,839 --> 00:22:56,319 but he sobered up quickly, and by the look on 397 00:22:56,440 --> 00:22:58,640 my face and the tone of my voice, he had 398 00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:01,920 no clue what had just happened, but as I gained 399 00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:05,079 my composure, I explained it all to him. I'm not 400 00:23:05,119 --> 00:23:07,920 sure if Brad ever believed me. I know for damn 401 00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:11,559 sure what I saw and this thing was real. Whether 402 00:23:11,599 --> 00:23:15,000 he believed me or not, I really don't care. Over 403 00:23:15,039 --> 00:23:17,720 the years, thinking about what this thing could have been, 404 00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:22,640 I narrowed it down to the crypto zoology category or 405 00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:27,279 the eufology category. It was either an alien or an 406 00:23:27,319 --> 00:23:32,680 et entity, or an adolescent soisquatch. My conclusion is that 407 00:23:32,799 --> 00:23:35,839 whatever it was, it was curious in only looking at me. 408 00:23:36,559 --> 00:23:39,319 It did not harm me, but sure startle the crap 409 00:23:39,359 --> 00:23:41,839 out of me. And that's the end of the story. 410 00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:45,200 Well that's interesting. I mean, you look out the end 411 00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:48,039 of your tent, there's these two green eyes looking at you. 412 00:23:48,599 --> 00:23:51,039 That would freak me out too. But that's a real 413 00:23:51,119 --> 00:23:57,240 interesting story. Thanks to the writer for sending it. I 414 00:23:57,240 --> 00:23:59,559 would like to preface my story by saying I have 415 00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:03,599 never taking psychedelic drugs, and nor have I ever been 416 00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:08,440 a drinker. I was completely sober when this happened. Just 417 00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:11,759 before daybreak on a warm summer morning, I was driving 418 00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:16,440 south on I twenty six from Ashville, North Carolina. I 419 00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:18,880 had just dropped my husband off at work and was 420 00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:22,920 heading home to Hendersonville. The morning light was still low 421 00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:25,240 and it was a bit foggy, so I was driving 422 00:24:25,319 --> 00:24:29,200 cautiously in the right lane. As I was passing the 423 00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:33,160 Ashville Airport exit, I saw a large, bright light high 424 00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:36,279 in the sky coming down vertically directly in front of me. 425 00:24:37,319 --> 00:24:40,640 I remember thinking that airplane is off course and headed 426 00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:43,000 in the wrong direction. It looks like it's trying to 427 00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:46,559 make a landing on the Interstate. I pulled over next 428 00:24:46,599 --> 00:24:49,720 to the guardrail and turned my radio volume down low. 429 00:24:50,799 --> 00:24:53,680 As the light came closer, it stopped and hovered just 430 00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:56,599 above the interstate, about one hundred and fifty yards away 431 00:24:56,599 --> 00:24:59,839 from me. Then the craft slowly made a sharp right 432 00:24:59,839 --> 00:25:02,640 pe turn and moved to the east of me to 433 00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:05,720 hover about one hundred and fifty feet above the dairy 434 00:25:05,799 --> 00:25:10,000 farm below. This property is now the golf course at 435 00:25:10,039 --> 00:25:14,960 the Ashville Airport. The craft was only about fifty yards 436 00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:18,160 from the guardrail now and where I sat in my car, 437 00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:22,920 I was mesmerized. I rolled down my window and turned 438 00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:25,799 off my car. I could hear the noise of the 439 00:25:25,839 --> 00:25:30,279 spacecraft pulsing and whirrying. It did not look or sound 440 00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:33,319 like anything like the airplanes I had seen and heard 441 00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:37,400 flying at the Ashville Airport over the years. The craft 442 00:25:37,519 --> 00:25:41,640 was flat on the bottom and domed an upside down 443 00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:46,119 saucer shape. The craft was huge, at least the length 444 00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:49,599 of a football field, and as it pulled alongside me 445 00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:52,599 on my right, the bright light on the front of 446 00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:55,720 the craft was behind my view inside the car as 447 00:25:55,759 --> 00:25:59,480 it illuminated the pasture and the trees beneath the craft. 448 00:26:00,799 --> 00:26:03,599 I could also see that there were three smaller lights 449 00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:06,359 on the side of the craft that I was now facing, 450 00:26:06,799 --> 00:26:10,440 a red light flanked by two small blue lights located 451 00:26:10,559 --> 00:26:14,279 at the bottom of the disk. I could also see 452 00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:18,640 faint lights of the Ashville Airport runway in the background. 453 00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:22,279 I remember thinking it must be some type of top 454 00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:26,680 secret aircraft being tested by the Air Force. I got 455 00:26:26,759 --> 00:26:28,480 out of the car and I walked around to the 456 00:26:28,519 --> 00:26:32,559 back of my Camaro over to the guardrail. I stood 457 00:26:32,559 --> 00:26:34,920 there for some time, just staring at it and trying 458 00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:38,680 to rationalize what I was seeing. Why had the airport 459 00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:42,599 controlled not called the highway patrol, I thought to myself, 460 00:26:42,680 --> 00:26:45,799 Why is no one stopping, Why is there no response 461 00:26:45,839 --> 00:26:51,079 from police or emergency agencies. All of these questions ran 462 00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:53,799 through my mind as I stood there for several minutes, 463 00:26:53,839 --> 00:26:56,440 staring at the craft and waiting to see what it 464 00:26:56,480 --> 00:26:59,680 would do next. I felt like I was in some 465 00:26:59,799 --> 00:27:04,000 kind of a trance or hypnotic state. That was the 466 00:27:04,079 --> 00:27:07,720 last thing I remember until forty five minutes later, when 467 00:27:07,759 --> 00:27:11,640 I found myself sitting in my car with both windows 468 00:27:11,759 --> 00:27:15,960 rolled up. The radio was blaring and the car was running. 469 00:27:16,599 --> 00:27:19,960 The heat was on high, and I was drenched in sweat. 470 00:27:21,079 --> 00:27:24,680 By then, it was full daylight and cars were zooming 471 00:27:24,839 --> 00:27:28,839 past me. I was dazed and confused as I drove home, 472 00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:35,359 emotionally shaken, crying, and generally terrified. I was also in 473 00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:38,720 intense pain, so I went to bed immediately and I 474 00:27:38,759 --> 00:27:42,400 slept for several hours due to the stress and the 475 00:27:42,440 --> 00:27:47,559 pain in my lower abdomen was excruciating. I never said 476 00:27:47,599 --> 00:27:50,519 anything to my husband or anyone else for that manner 477 00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:55,680 for many years until now. About a month later after 478 00:27:55,720 --> 00:28:00,559 this incident, I had a very painful miscarriage. Oh. I 479 00:28:00,599 --> 00:28:03,400 don't know what happened during these forty five minutes of 480 00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:06,519 lost time, but I believe I was taken on board 481 00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:10,319 and I was impregnated. I will never know for sure. 482 00:28:11,599 --> 00:28:14,359 I did not see or come in contact with any 483 00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:17,000 creatures that I know of, because I don't have any 484 00:28:17,079 --> 00:28:20,720 memory of the forty five minutes. But this I do know. 485 00:28:21,200 --> 00:28:24,480 Whatever happened to me was against my will and it 486 00:28:24,519 --> 00:28:28,440 was very painful. It has taken me many years to 487 00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:31,279 get my head wrapped around what actually happened to me. 488 00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:34,599 It has not been until the advent of the Internet 489 00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:37,599 and YouTube that I have come to understand there are 490 00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:42,680 others who have had worse experiences with abductions. Can I 491 00:28:42,799 --> 00:28:46,960 prove that I was abducted, No, but I do know this. 492 00:28:47,599 --> 00:28:51,359 If this was an alien craft, the creatures inside it 493 00:28:51,400 --> 00:28:56,079 were malevolent and very dangerous. I believe they are demonic 494 00:28:56,160 --> 00:28:59,160 in nature, and for anyone to think that aliens are 495 00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:03,480 here to help us is a naive. There are created 496 00:29:03,559 --> 00:29:07,359 beings in this world that mean to harm us. Perhaps 497 00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:10,599 they are the type of nephelum spoken of in the Bible. 498 00:29:11,480 --> 00:29:14,920 Whether your listeners believe my story is irrelevant to me. 499 00:29:15,480 --> 00:29:18,039 I don't have a dog in this hunt. I just 500 00:29:18,079 --> 00:29:20,400 want to share this with others and let them know 501 00:29:20,599 --> 00:29:24,000 if they have had a similar experience, they are not alone. 502 00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:28,000 Just be aware that these beings are not like et 503 00:29:28,039 --> 00:29:31,400 Is portrayed in the film. They are evil, and if 504 00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:34,599 you have any contact with them, plead the blood of 505 00:29:34,720 --> 00:29:36,720 Jesus and command them to leave.
