Speaker 1: This episode is brought to you by my newest supporters, Josh,
Speaker 1: Laura Bridget, Brian, Jason, and Don. Thank you for making
Speaker 1: the show possible. Welcome back to Paranormal Mysteries and thank
Speaker 1: you for joining me. I'm your hostess always, Nick Ryan.
Speaker 1: Our first encounter of the night comes to us from
Speaker 1: Rachel and Rachel says Hello, Nick. I started listening just
Speaker 1: over a month ago, and I've been listening to your
Speaker 1: podcast on my drive to college and to work, and
Speaker 1: I really enjoy it. I want to share with you
Speaker 1: my two experiences, one with the hat Man and one
Speaker 1: with a UFO. For a bit of backstory, the house
Speaker 1: I grew up in is in southwestern Ontario, about an
Speaker 1: hour and a half outside of Toronto. The house was
Speaker 1: a new build that my mom and dad had built,
Speaker 1: and the land was not some old graveyard or burial site.
Speaker 1: When I was younger, I used to sleep with my
Speaker 1: door ajar because I felt that if the door was closed,
Speaker 1: I would be further away from my mom. Additionally, the
Speaker 1: way my bedroom was set up is that my bed
Speaker 1: was against the wall and facing my door, so I
Speaker 1: could see out a bit. One night, when I was
Speaker 1: around six or seven, years old. I was having a
Speaker 1: hard time getting to sleep. I don't know what time
Speaker 1: it was, but it was a while after my mom
Speaker 1: had finished reading me a story and shut out the lights.
Speaker 1: I was tossing and turning, trying to get comfortable when
Speaker 1: I turned toward my bedroom door, and that's when I
Speaker 1: saw it. I saw a tall black figure with a
Speaker 1: top hat and a black suit. I remember trying to
Speaker 1: squint my eyes to see if it was one of
Speaker 1: my sisters standing in the doorway, but all I could
Speaker 1: see was darkness where there should have been a face.
Speaker 1: I wanted to get up and shut my door so
Speaker 1: that it would go away, but I couldn't move a muscle.
Speaker 1: I can't remember how long he stood there, but eventually
Speaker 1: I just fell asleep. I don't remember being scared. I
Speaker 1: just remember being confused. In the morning, I forgot all
Speaker 1: about it. I remember telling my mom that I was
Speaker 1: having a hard time keeping my eyes closed and that
Speaker 1: there was a man in the doorway, but she just
Speaker 1: brushed it off and bought me a sleep mask so
Speaker 1: I could sleep better. I have been using a sleep
Speaker 1: mask since then, and I cannot sleep without one. One
Speaker 1: thing to note is that when I started sleeping with
Speaker 1: a sleep mask. My sister started experiencing night terrors and
Speaker 1: she would wake up in the night screaming. I don't
Speaker 1: know if the hat man had anything to do with that,
Speaker 1: but it was all kind of strange. My second experience
Speaker 1: is called sunset UFO. When I was around twelve or thirteen,
Speaker 1: around seven pm in June, I went outside to take
Speaker 1: a picture of the sunset. I wanted to have trees
Speaker 1: in the background, so I walked a block over from
Speaker 1: my house to where a small area of forest was.
Speaker 1: It should also be noted that I had only walked
Speaker 1: down my street and to the right, about four hundred meters.
Speaker 1: I took a couple of pictures on my iPad and
Speaker 1: then I started walking back home. When I was at
Speaker 1: the corner of my street, I stopped to take a
Speaker 1: look at the pictures, and that's when I noticed that
Speaker 1: there was a black object in the sky. For reference,
Speaker 1: I don't live anywhere near an airport, and the closest
Speaker 1: one is over an hour away, and no flight path
Speaker 1: commonly crosses over the town where I live. Trying to
Speaker 1: zoom in on the black object in the sky, and
Speaker 1: not knowing what it was, I looked up in the
Speaker 1: sky and I saw the black object. It was circular
Speaker 1: and hovering over the trees, not moving. I was old
Speaker 1: enough to know what a UFO was, so I took
Speaker 1: a couple more pictures, and then I started to head home.
Speaker 1: Thinking back to this time, I don't remember getting home.
Speaker 1: I just remember that I was just sort of there.
Speaker 1: I still had the picture on my iPad, and I
Speaker 1: decided to show it to my sisters. They found it strange,
Speaker 1: and they played it off as if it were an
Speaker 1: airplane and that I was just imagining things. After a
Speaker 1: week had gone by, I remember telling my dad this
Speaker 1: story and I went on my iPad to show him
Speaker 1: the picture that I had taken. However, the picture was
Speaker 1: nowhere to be found. To this day, I still cannot
Speaker 1: find the multiple pictures that I took that day, and
Speaker 1: I have no idea where they went. Thank you for
Speaker 1: listening to my experience, and I hope that all of
Speaker 1: you have a lovely day, Rachel. Our next experience of
Speaker 1: the night comes to us from Walter, and Walter says, Hello, Nick.
Speaker 1: I want to start off by thanking you for including
Speaker 1: my previous letter in your recent podcast episode. There was
Speaker 1: one more experience that I wanted to share that occurred
Speaker 1: during the four years that I served in the US Navy,
Speaker 1: but I thought the last letter was already long enough.
Speaker 1: I'll include it in this letter, plus the other UFO
Speaker 1: experiences that I've had in my life. My first experience
Speaker 1: is called flight deck muster. In June of two thousand
Speaker 1: and seven, I was in my third year of my
Speaker 1: enlistment in the United States Navy when the ship was
Speaker 1: going through planned Incremental availability or PIA in Coronado, California.
Speaker 1: It's basically when the ship is in port for about
Speaker 1: six months and going through the much needed maintenance and upgrades.
Speaker 1: We usually did our morning musters on the flight deck
Speaker 1: when in port. On this summer morning, while the first
Speaker 1: class Petty Officer was giving us the standard safety brief
Speaker 1: and going over the plan of the day, I noticed
Speaker 1: a tear drop shaped cloud way up in the sky,
Speaker 1: miles above the few clouds that were around that morning.
Speaker 1: I don't know why something so distant would catch my attention,
Speaker 1: but it did. I noticed that this teardrop shaped cloud
Speaker 1: was traveling horizontally in relation to my point of view.
Speaker 1: It continued to follow this path of travel for a
Speaker 1: minute or two, and then an identical teardrop shaped cloud appeared.
Speaker 1: The more I looked at these objects, the stranger they
Speaker 1: appeared to me. I wasn't the only person who had
Speaker 1: noticed them, either. Some of my shipmates were asking if
Speaker 1: it was something entering the atmosphere like a meteor or
Speaker 1: satellites falling out of orbit. Then when we all saw
Speaker 1: the second object following the exact same path as the
Speaker 1: first object, we figured they couldn't be clouds. What was
Speaker 1: also strange about these objects was that they appeared to
Speaker 1: be traveling very slowly from our perspective. Then the first
Speaker 1: object did something most unexpected. It executed a perfect ninety
Speaker 1: degree turn. I do not pretend to be an aerospace engineer,
Speaker 1: but even today I doubt that any aircraft in existence
Speaker 1: could perform such a sharp turn or crazy maneuver like
Speaker 1: that without disintegrating. The second object continued the flight path
Speaker 1: of the first one, including the ninety degree turn. At
Speaker 1: the end of the morning muster, we were dismissed to
Speaker 1: head out to our cleaning stations. I believe that what
Speaker 1: my fellow sailors and I saw that day were UFOs
Speaker 1: entering the atmosphere in broad daylight. That is the only
Speaker 1: explanation that I have for this experience. My next experience
Speaker 1: is called Trumpets in the Sky. In early January twenty eleven,
Speaker 1: at around seven pm in Brawley, California, I was sitting
Speaker 1: on my computer in my bedroom, scrolling through my Facebook feeds,
Speaker 1: and this is when I heard loud, grinding, mechanical sounds.
Speaker 1: I got up quickly to check my parents washing machine,
Speaker 1: but it was not being used at that moment. I
Speaker 1: went back to my room and I heard the strange
Speaker 1: sounds once again. The more these sounds went off, the
Speaker 1: more they sounded like someone was learning to use a
Speaker 1: trumpet for the first time. But I couldn't isolate the
Speaker 1: source of the sounds, and when I stepped outside onto
Speaker 1: the back porch, it sound like these blairs were coming
Speaker 1: from the sky. It was overcast that evening, a thick,
Speaker 1: low cloud layer that appeared to cover the entire sky
Speaker 1: way past the horizon. These strange, metallic sounds went on
Speaker 1: for twenty to thirty minutes before they finally stopped. I
Speaker 1: went back online to check my Facebook feeds and started
Speaker 1: to see people from nearby community groups and pages posting
Speaker 1: about the exact same sounds. That I heard scores of
Speaker 1: people from Imperial County and cities as far as twenty
Speaker 1: five minutes away were hearing the same trumpet like sounds
Speaker 1: and inquiring what they were and if anyone had seen
Speaker 1: what was making the sounds. Apparently everyone was just as
Speaker 1: confused as I was. In the days and weeks that followed,
Speaker 1: I came across videos from all over the world that
Speaker 1: featured this phenomenon. There was one video out of Canada
Speaker 1: that stuck out to me where there were tree fellers
Speaker 1: out in the woods when they captured these similar trumpet
Speaker 1: blairs in the sky. I remember another video in the
Speaker 1: Los Angeles, California, that not only captured the metallic sounds,
Speaker 1: but also an unidentified flying object just past the city skyline.
Speaker 1: I believe that what I heard that January evening was
Speaker 1: related to these events somehow, or was created by a
Speaker 1: similar phenomenon at least. My next experience is called Giant
Speaker 1: Triangle above the clouds. One night in October twenty twelve,
Speaker 1: after my last evening class ended at nine thirty PM,
Speaker 1: I was driving back from the local community college to
Speaker 1: my parents' home in Brawley, California. It was partly cloudy
Speaker 1: that night, and after I made the right turn to
Speaker 1: get on the main highway to my town, I looked
Speaker 1: over to my right and I happened to catch something
Speaker 1: that if I had blinked, I would have totally missed it.
Speaker 1: I was shocked to see three bright white lights go
Speaker 1: off simultaneously. From what I could observe, there was one
Speaker 1: large circular light on each of the three corners, and
Speaker 1: the light that reflected from and the clouds below revealed
Speaker 1: a massive black triangle that hovered over the eastern side
Speaker 1: of my town, Brawley. This object had to be at
Speaker 1: least a mile wide, if not slightly more. I was
Speaker 1: focused on driving, but it would seem that the giant
Speaker 1: flying object disappeared just as quickly as it had appeared,
Speaker 1: and it left me wondering what the thing really was.
Speaker 1: I have read online about theories that if UFOs are
Speaker 1: of extraterrestrial origin, and if one or more have crashed
Speaker 1: on Earth, then it would be highly likely that if
Speaker 1: our government recovered one of these alien wreckages, then there
Speaker 1: would be a concerted effort to reverse engineer them. I
Speaker 1: theorized that this object that I saw that night might
Speaker 1: have been a product of those efforts, or perhaps this
Speaker 1: was an actual alien craft. Who knows. My next experience
Speaker 1: is called New Year's Eve orange orbs. It was New
Speaker 1: Year's Eve, December thirty first, twenty thirteen, around nine or
Speaker 1: ten p m. When I witnessed another weird phenomenon in
Speaker 1: the sky over my parents' house in Brawley, California. I
Speaker 1: was enjoying the nice, cool December air outside and drinking
Speaker 1: a beer with my brother in law, Chris, as well
Speaker 1: as my childhood friend Robert. We were standing on the
Speaker 1: interior streets of the mobile home park and I looked
Speaker 1: over to the west where there is an adjacent agricultural field,
Speaker 1: and I noticed an orange light. This orange light was
Speaker 1: heading in our direction at a very slow speed, slower
Speaker 1: than your typical crop dusting helicopter or drone. Even as
Speaker 1: it got closer, it looked more like an orange orb
Speaker 1: than anything resembling any type of aircraft. It made no sound,
Speaker 1: and it shifted south almost at a ninety degree angle.
Speaker 1: While making no sound, it just drifted away from our
Speaker 1: field of vision. During the brief encounter with whatever this
Speaker 1: thing was, my brother in law and my friend were
Speaker 1: commenting on how weird it was. And we all confirmed
Speaker 1: that we were not looking at any type of aircraft
Speaker 1: that we could identify. After it left, we shrugged it
Speaker 1: off and we continued drinking our beers. Thank you for
Speaker 1: taking the time to read this letter, and I'm hopeful
Speaker 1: that this will be featured in one of your podcasts.
Speaker 1: Whenever I have free time again, I'll sit down and
Speaker 1: write about my sleep paralysis episodes that plagued me in
Speaker 1: my twenties. Take Carenick and have a great day. Sincerely, Walter.
Speaker 1: Our next experience comes to us from Louise, and Louise says,
Speaker 1: thank you so much for sharing my story. I've just
Speaker 1: finished work and listened to your latest episode. It's so
Speaker 1: lovely to have somewhere to listen to stories from other
Speaker 1: people who have had these types of experiences. Not only
Speaker 1: are they extremely interesting, but they also make me feel
Speaker 1: like I'm not alone. I've got a few more experiences
Speaker 1: to share if you're interested. And here's another. This happened
Speaker 1: when I was eighteen and I had only recently passed
Speaker 1: my driving task. One evening, I drove myself and two
Speaker 1: of my friends to a local gym. As a relatively
Speaker 1: new driver, I was still getting used to things like
Speaker 1: parking and maneuvering in tight spaces, so I remember paying
Speaker 1: particular attention when I pulled into the car park. As
Speaker 1: I drove in, I spotted an empty space, and I
Speaker 1: managed to pull straight into it the very first time.
Speaker 1: I distinctly remember feeling pleased with myself and thinking, well,
Speaker 1: that was easy. What makes the memory so clear is
Speaker 1: that there was a lamp post directly in front of
Speaker 1: the parking space. Before getting out, I remember looking just
Speaker 1: over the bonnet to judge how much room I had left,
Speaker 1: and making sure that I didn't get too close to it.
Speaker 1: This was before parking sensors were common, so it was
Speaker 1: something that I always paid attention to. The three of
Speaker 1: us then went into the gym and we completed our workout.
Speaker 1: When we came back out, something happened that none of
Speaker 1: us could explain. As we walked across the car park,
Speaker 1: all three of us stopped at the exact same moment.
Speaker 1: I was so shocked that I dropped my gym bag.
Speaker 1: My car was no longer in the space where we
Speaker 1: all remembered leaving it. Instead, it was parked in the
Speaker 1: space directly next to it. The problem was that this
Speaker 1: parking space didn't have a lamp post in front of it.
Speaker 1: All three of us immediately started questioning what we were seeing.
Speaker 1: We looked at each other and said the same thing.
Speaker 1: That's not where the car was. Now. My keys had
Speaker 1: been in my gym bag the entire time, and the
Speaker 1: bag had been locked in a locker. Nobody had access
Speaker 1: to the car. The vehicle was parked perfectly within the lines,
Speaker 1: so it certainly hadn't rolled anywhere, and even if it had,
Speaker 1: it would have been impossible for it to somehow move
Speaker 1: sideways and into the adjacent space. The more that we
Speaker 1: thought about it, the stranger it seemed. So we went
Speaker 1: back into the gym and asked whether we could view
Speaker 1: the CCTV footage. The staff looked at us as though
Speaker 1: we were completely mad, and they refused to show us anything.
Speaker 1: Still trying to make sense of it, we got back
Speaker 1: in the car and left the car park. I then
Speaker 1: decided to try an experiment. I drove back around the
Speaker 1: block and re entered the car park from exactly the
Speaker 1: same direction and angle as I did when we first arrived.
Speaker 1: What happened next only deep in the mystery. I discovered
Speaker 1: that there was no realistic way I could have driven
Speaker 1: directly into the space where the car was now parked.
Speaker 1: To get into that particular space, I would have needed
Speaker 1: to reverse reposition the car and then make additional maneuvers.
Speaker 1: I knew that I hadn't done that. The only space
Speaker 1: I could have pulled directly into in one smooth movement
Speaker 1: was the original space, the one with the lamp post
Speaker 1: that I remembered checking before getting out. The drive home
Speaker 1: was understandably tense, and the three of us kept going
Speaker 1: over the events, trying to work out whether any of
Speaker 1: us could somehow be mistaken. But then something else happened.
Speaker 1: While we were talking, the radio suddenly blasted to full
Speaker 1: volume without warning. Nobody had touched it. The radio had
Speaker 1: been on quietly in the background because we were chatting,
Speaker 1: and this was long before steering wheel controls or modern tips.
Speaker 1: No one was anywhere near the controls when it happened.
Speaker 1: The noise made all of us jump. We pulled over immediately,
Speaker 1: and we turned off the radio. To this day, none
Speaker 1: of us have ever come up with a satisfactory explanation
Speaker 1: for either incident. Perhaps there is one, but if there is,
Speaker 1: we've never been able to find it. What makes it
Speaker 1: so memorable is that there were three of us there,
Speaker 1: and every one of us remembers it happening exactly the
Speaker 1: same way. Thanks again, Louise. Before I continue, please consider

Speaker 1: support of all, and I'm grateful to have you here. Now,
Speaker 1: please stay tuned and I'll be right back. After these
Speaker 1: brief messages, our next experience comes to us from Maria,
Speaker 1: and Maria calls her Experiences Between the Trees and the Stars. Hello, Nick,
Speaker 1: I'm sharing my experiences with you by request of my
Speaker 1: loving husband. He originally found your podcast and he shared
Speaker 1: it with me. We both listen frequently and appreciate what
Speaker 1: you do here, and we would love for you to
Speaker 1: read this. So let's begin. I have had two experiences
Speaker 1: in my life that I still cannot explain. They happened
Speaker 1: many years apart, but both left me with the same
Speaker 1: unsettling feeling. That I had witnessed something that didn't fit
Speaker 1: into my understanding of the world. The first experience happened
Speaker 1: in the summer of nineteen eighty nine, when I was
Speaker 1: nine years old. My older brother was eighteen at this time,
Speaker 1: and during the summers, we would often camp in the
Speaker 1: woods behind our house in Burg Hill, Ohio. We had
Speaker 1: seventeen acres of woods, and we spent so much time
Speaker 1: out there that it felt like a second home to us.
Speaker 1: One evening, we had already set up camp and decided
Speaker 1: to walk back to the house to grab a few supplies.
Speaker 1: By the time we were heading back to our campsite,
Speaker 1: it had gotten completely dark. We also realized that we
Speaker 1: had forgotten our flashlight. I remember being worried about walking
Speaker 1: back through the woods in the dark, but my brother
Speaker 1: wasn't concerned at all. He told me not to worry
Speaker 1: because he knew those woods like the back of his hand.
Speaker 1: As we made our way toward the camp site, I
Speaker 1: noticed something that was standing beside a tree about thirty
Speaker 1: feet away from us. At first, I couldn't make out
Speaker 1: many details because of the darkness, but I could clearly
Speaker 1: tell that something wasn't right about its shape. The head
Speaker 1: appeared unusually long, and its arms seemed much longer than
Speaker 1: they should have been. Even at nine years old. My
Speaker 1: immediate thought was that it looked like an alien. I
Speaker 1: pointed it out to my brother and I asked him
Speaker 1: what it was. He looked at it and he said
Speaker 1: he didn't know, but he suggested that we go and
Speaker 1: check it out. He said that if it was someone
Speaker 1: trespassing on our property that he would make them leave.
Speaker 1: As we got closer, the figure became even stranger. The
Speaker 1: closer we got, the more it resembled what I can
Speaker 1: only describe as an alien like being. What made it
Speaker 1: even more unsettling was how completely motionless it stood. It
Speaker 1: didn't move at all. When we were about six feet
Speaker 1: away from it, I grabbed my brother's arm. I remember
Speaker 1: feeling terrified and telling him that I didn't want to
Speaker 1: go any closer. However, he told me that it would
Speaker 1: be okay. Then, without warning, the figure shifted behind the tree.
Speaker 1: Now I don't mean that it walked behind the tree.
Speaker 1: I didn't hear footsteps, I didn't hear leaves crunching. I
Speaker 1: didn't hear any branches breaking. There was no sound at all.
Speaker 1: One moment it was standing there and the next it
Speaker 1: had moved behind the tree with an unnatural quickness. My
Speaker 1: brother immediately ran toward it and he went around the tree,
Speaker 1: but there was nothing there. The area behind the tree
Speaker 1: was empty. I remember asking my brother what we had
Speaker 1: just seen, and I specifically asked him if it was
Speaker 1: an alien and what happened next always stood out to me.
Speaker 1: Instead of trying to explain it, my brother became extremely defensive.
Speaker 1: He insisted that it was nothing, and he refused to
Speaker 1: discuss it any further. No matter how many times I
Speaker 1: brought it up, he wouldn't admit that he had seen
Speaker 1: anything strange. We continued on to the camp site, but
Speaker 1: that night something was different. Normally, my brother always slept
Speaker 1: outside beside the fire. He loved camping, and he never
Speaker 1: seemed afraid of anything. That night, however, he chose to
Speaker 1: sleep inside the tent with me. He never admitted that
Speaker 1: he was scared, but I couldn't shake the feeling that
Speaker 1: whatever he saw when he ran behind the tree had
Speaker 1: frightened him too. For years, I treated that experience as
Speaker 1: a strange childhood memory. But then something happened. On May thirtieth,
Speaker 1: twenty twenty six, my husband and I are professional truck
Speaker 1: drivers and we team drive together. On that particular night,
Speaker 1: I was driving while my husband slept in the bunk.
Speaker 1: We were traveling eastbound on Interstate twenty in Mississippi, just
Speaker 1: before Bolton. It was around one forty four in the morning.
Speaker 1: The road was quiet. I noticed a car and a
Speaker 1: pickup truck approaching from behind at a much higher speed
Speaker 1: than mine. I assumed they were simply going to pass me,
Speaker 1: as vehicles often do, but instead both vehicles suddenly slowed
Speaker 1: down behind me. I remember thinking that this was odd
Speaker 1: because there were no other vehicles on the road and
Speaker 1: there was no obvious reason for them to slow down.
Speaker 1: A few moments later, the pickup truck pulled out to pass,
Speaker 1: and the car followed behind it. As the car was
Speaker 1: moving alongside my truck, I noticed something ahead of us
Speaker 1: in the sky. It appeared as a large circular object
Speaker 1: descending from above. Around the perimeter, there were rotating green lights,
Speaker 1: and across the middle were three illuminated bands, which also
Speaker 1: appeared to be rotating. The object descended rapidly and then
Speaker 1: stopped abruptly in mid air. The pickup truck, which was
Speaker 1: now in front of me, immediately slammed on its brakes.
Speaker 1: The car then did the same. I reacted instinctively, and
Speaker 1: I hit my brakes hard to avoid a collision. As
Speaker 1: I looked back up at the object, it appeared to
Speaker 1: rotate downward into what I can only describe as a
Speaker 1: classic UFO shape. It then drifted slowly to the right,
Speaker 1: and then it shot straight upward at a speed that
Speaker 1: seemed impossible. It vanished almost instantly. There was no sound,
Speaker 1: no wind, no visible exhaust, nothing. By that point, both
Speaker 1: the pickup truck and the car had pulled onto the
Speaker 1: shoulder of the highway. I kept driving. Everything had happened
Speaker 1: so quickly that I didn't know what to do. As
Speaker 1: I passed the stop vehicles, I called back to my husband.
Speaker 1: He didn't answer that immediately struck me as strange because
Speaker 1: he is an extremely light sleeper. Between my sudden braking
Speaker 1: and everything that had just happened, I expected him to
Speaker 1: respond immediately, so I called for him again. Still nothing.
Speaker 1: As I approached the area directly beneath where I had
Speaker 1: last seen the object, my truck suddenly began malfunctioning. Warning
Speaker 1: messages started appearing, and the sensors began acting erratically. The
Speaker 1: truck displayed warnings about ice, cruise control stopped working, and
Speaker 1: the road assist systems failed. The speedometers suddenly read zero
Speaker 1: miles per hour, even though I was still moving down
Speaker 1: the highway. The truck was coasting, but neither the accelerator
Speaker 1: nor the brakes seemed to respond normally. At that point,
Speaker 1: I called for my husband once again, but still there
Speaker 1: was no answer. Then, as I coasted beneath an overpass,
Speaker 1: everything suddenly returned to normal. The engine responded once again,
Speaker 1: the speedometer immediately displayed my correct speed. When the warning
Speaker 1: messages disappeared, the truck continued operating as if nothing had happened.
Speaker 1: My husband eventually woke up afterward. But what has always
Speaker 1: stayed with me is the timing of everything. The sighting,
Speaker 1: the vehicle stopping, my husband not responding despite being a
Speaker 1: light sleeper, the truck system's malfunctioning at the exact location
Speaker 1: where I had seen the object, and then everything returning
Speaker 1: to normal moments later. I can't tell anyone what these
Speaker 1: experiences were. I only know what I saw. To this day,
Speaker 1: I still think about that figure standing silently beside the
Speaker 1: tree when I was nine years old, and the object
Speaker 1: that I witnessed over Interstate twenty all those years later.
Speaker 1: Whether the two experiences are connected or completely unrelated, I
Speaker 1: honestly don't know. What I do know is that I
Speaker 1: will never forget either one. I spoke with Maria multiple
Speaker 1: times regarding her experiences, and she was kind enough to
Speaker 1: send me screenshop of the exact locations of both incidents.
Speaker 1: Maria also told me that during her experience on Interstate
Speaker 1: twenty that it was very very dark out. When I
Speaker 1: inquired about the two vehicles that approached from behind, I
Speaker 1: asked her if she thought the vehicles had seen the
Speaker 1: UFO before she did and were following it. I thought
Speaker 1: that maybe they had stayed behind Maria's truck in order
Speaker 1: to stay hidden from the object once they saw it
Speaker 1: starting to descend, and Maria said this, That's exactly what
Speaker 1: I thought after the situation happened, because the normal thing
Speaker 1: for vehicles to do is to pass a semi truck quick.
Speaker 1: But thinking about their hesitation, maybe they did see it
Speaker 1: first and they got scared. For anyone that's interested, I
Speaker 1: have added the screenshots that Maria sent me to my blog,
Speaker 1: and as always, you can find a link to it
Speaker 1: in the show notes As the night's episode comes to
Speaker 1: an end, I'd like to thank you for listening, and
Speaker 1: I truly appreciate all of our experiencers for coming forward
Speaker 1: with their store And as always, if you've encountered the Unexplained,
Speaker 1: you can share your experience with me at Paranormal Mysteries
Speaker 1: podcast dot com. Remember that all experiences, no matter how strange,
Speaker 1: are always welcome. And with that being said, I hope
Speaker 1: you have a wonderful rest of your evening and I'll
Speaker 1: be back in a few short days with more tales
Speaker 1: of the Unexplained. And until then, please remember don't wait
Speaker 1: for the unknown to come to you, get out there
Speaker 1: and find it. S
