Bizarrely Dressed GRINNING 'SKULL' HUMANOID Reported in Tempe, Arizona

A totally out-of-place man walked into a Tempe, Arizona hotel asking to use a payphone. Later, a police officer inquired about the man, who presumably 'vanished' into thin air according to witnesses.

I received the following account from a reader:

“Hi, Lon. I decided to send this odd weird report to you for your thoughts. I've read your blog for a few years and decided I should share this with you.

One afternoon in Tempe, Arizona, a man walked into a hotel where I worked. He had a coat on (a pea green military type coat) and butcher paper (Yes, he had butcher paper around himself like some kind of tube top!) under his coat like a shirt. In addition, one of his legs was twice as big as the other. He asked to use the pay phone in the lobby. I told him, 'Sure' not yet realizing how weird he looked (he was obscured by the desk and the entry door). We started out with a weird vibe the moment he crossed the lobby to the phone. When we finally got a chance to look at him, he walked a bit slow. However, this made sense as his leg appeared swollen. He then made a call and turned slightly to keep me and my coworker in his attention, sort of out of his peripheral vision.

Very soon we could tell he wasn’t listening to anyone and the phone made noises like it was off the hook. I decided that was enough and demanded he leave which he did abruptly by our side door.

Now the really weird part. My coworker took a picture of him on that payphone with an old flip phone. In the digital pixelation, he was moving, which rendered him blurrier than the rest of the picture. He looked like his face was an oversized toothy grinning skull! Black eyes and a hole where his nose should be! It was so bizarre! It reminds me of the story about the man made of parts in the mirrored sunglasses (a story from Victoria England in which a man encountered a man he thought was made of 'parts').

Later that day, a police officer came to the hotel asking if we had seen a man fitting the same description. I acknowledged that we had and told the police officer what occurred. I then inquired why he was asking about this bizarre man. The police officer stated that the man was seen in a nearby park by a couple who later reported that the man had suddenly vanished into thin air just a few yards away from them.

This occurred in late 2019 before the Covid lockdown. I haven't heard anything further about the unknown man, or whatever he was.” SB

NOTE: Mmm. I'm not sure what or who this unknown man or humanoid was, but it is indeed very strange. The odd photo manifestation does mirror a few other accounts that I received in the past. But, as with those other accounts, it's difficult to determine what this actually was. Interesting incident. Lon

Welcome to Phantoms & Monsters 'Personal Reports' - cryptid & unexplained accounts directly from the archives of Phantoms & Monsters, and the Phantoms & Monster Fortean Research team. Narrated by Lon Strickler. Join us in the chat, discuss, and ask me questions about the accounts.

Featured in this edition:

It's interesting how some phenomena that are depicted in films & television are later seen by eyewitnesses. Is it a 'tulpa' effect or did the original creators have a similar encounter? In the years since the original 'Predator' film, there have been many sightings of the 'Glimmer Man' throughout the world, but more so in North America.

The 'Predator' franchise was originally created by brothers John and Jim Thomas. I have attempted, over the years, to gather insight as to how they came up with the cloaking concept. So far, I still have no tangible information.

Several of the Chicago Mothman witnesses who have talked to our investigative team have described the winged humanoids as being like the 'Jeepers Creepers' creature as well. Do these memes or tropes from films, the internet, and pop culture influence what witnesses observe? What are your thoughts?

In this episode, I will describe the reports and incidents in detail and answer all questions from the chat room.
