TALL, HUNCHBACKED HUMANOIDS Encountered at Saylorville Lake, Iowa

A group of friends returns to Saylorville Lake in Iowa after encountering 'multiple humans' on the previous night. Their next encounter is quite bizarre, offering further details.

I received the following account:

"This occurred in Central Iowa at Saylorville Lake, on the nights of December 14 and 15, 2017. So, I was with two friends and we had a strange encounter with multiple humanoids that we saw in the woods from our car at night. We were really freaked out and were barely talking. The only reason we were there was that we had an encounter the previous night with what we thought were multiple humans watching us for multiple hours and communicating with each other by tapping on trees in some code and making noises not dissimilar to screeches. These noises coincided when a light turned on and at one point we stopped hearing them for almost 30 minutes.

So we called a friend, and while my friend that called was whispering on the phone we heard the communication again and whispered for him to hang up immediately. As we said that the noise stopped before he even hung up or pulled the phone from his face. We also saw multiple silhouettes walking away through the trees.

We were checking out the area again after that encounter the previous night. What we saw sent chills up and down our spines! We didn't discuss it, instead, we individually wrote down what we saw and compared it to avoid influencing each other's thoughts on what was seen. Our descriptions were all the same, with only a small discrepancy in height and different levels of detail. The height range was about 7 to 8 feet tall. My other friend thought it was just 6 feet high or so. The description that follows is the most detailed. Our friend actually got out of the car and went to the edge of the woods to listen closer, something none of us will ever do after seeing those eyes.

There was more than one. They were positioned to our right, to our left, and straight ahead. Very slender, tall, hunchbacked, and brown in color. The eyes had an orange-yellow glow, almost like cat eyes that reflect in the dark, but no lights around. The movements were precise and quiet despite dry leaves everywhere. They each had 2 primary locations they went back and forth from, but they had more spots on their path. When I was outside the car I could hear breathing. Their footsteps mimicked mine and it only happened when I was moving or looking back to the car. They used the trees to cover the light reflection, and when we spoke all was silent. They did not walk heel to toe, but toe to heel! Really bizarre. Their breathing was heavy, through their nostrils.

I have never gone back to the location, and have since moved to Texas. I doubt that my friends ever went back either. Any idea what we saw those nights?" P

NOTE: I believe that there may be more details to these encounters. Hopefully, more information will be learned. I've asked the witness a few questions by email. 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:

Who, or what, is the 'Grinning Man?' Most people believe that the nexus of the phenomenon began with Woodrow Derringer's encounter with a supposed extraterrestrial named Indrid Cold. Others have stated that a mysterious "Grinning Man" is said to appear and terrorize UFO witnesses, similar to the 'Men in Black' scenarios. So what is it?

Over the years, I have received many eyewitness reports of encounters with bizarre individuals who possessed a wide, almost comical, toothy grin. As a result of these events, the eyewitnesses felt confused and, in most cases, shaken.

So sit back, relax, and ponder what I'm about to describe to you. I will present the reports and incidents in detail and answer all questions from the chat room.

This Friday night on Phantoms & Monsters Radio 9/15 - we celebrate our 18th year at Phantoms & Monsters by giving away books to a few folks who join us in the live chat. See you there!
