'SHADOW MEN' Terrorize Family For Over a Decade (SKETCH)

A group of 'shadow men' appears continuously throughout a family's home. Each member seems to have had unique encounters with these entities for over a decade.

"When I first saw the shadow men it would have been about eight years old. My family of five had just moved to a three-bedroom house around the time when my youngest brother was eight months old. I should mention that this house was in a well-populated neighborhood, not in the countryside. This house had a large basement that was split long ways into two sides. One side had a laundry room in the far back, a bathroom, a round mirror right outside of the bathroom on the opposing wall, and what we called the toy room right next to the stairs. The other side was the family den. The stairs to the basement separated these two sections.

I hadn't been in that house for more than a week when I had first seen it. I was in the basement getting something, either a toy or a book, I don't recall. It was around late afternoon. The light was streaming in from the egress windows. At first, I thought it was my father, but I quickly realized that this figure was not only a head taller than he was but thinner too. It also didn't have a reflection. If I had to give an estimate now I'd say it stood maybe six and a half feet tall. It wasn't thin like some depictions I've seen. The one I saw that day had the typical fleshed-out proportions of a man.

At this point, only a few seconds had passed. I just stood there staring at it. I had a pit in my stomach and I knew even though I couldn't see its eyes, it saw me too. I cannot emphasize this enough. This wasn't a human. I was alone in that basement. The light coming from the windows didn't seem to cast any shadows onto it. There's no face, no clothes, and no indication of a three-dimensional form. The thing almost looked like it was a hole cut from the fabric of reality itself. The sense of dread and fear that filled me was something I'd only experienced while facing these creatures. I can't explain it but something deep down told me that it was male. Something also told me that was evil. It said nothing. It just stood there. I took a step back and suddenly it charged at me taking incredibly long strides. The way it moved made it contort. The legs especially looked like they were getting longer. It reached out to me! The hand was as big as my face. It was only three feet away from me. It moved at incredible speed. I started to scream and I ran up the stairs. I ran out of the basement so fast that I actually fell when I reached the main hallway.

I told my parents. My father was skeptical and obviously looked, but found nothing. My mother said nothing about it. A few days after the encounter, in the evening hours, my sister and I saw one sitting on the sectional couch in our living room while we were walking to the kitchen for a snack. It was sitting where my mother would sit in the corner of the sectional. His legs were long. The minute it noticed us my younger sister saw it and screamed. It left the couch in one human-like motion and ran through the wall. My mother was in the kitchen and my father was at work.

That very night I saw one at my baby brother's nursery window pressing his face on the glass. I knew this one wasn't a person either. My neighbor's backyard porch light was on so this one, much like the first, was completely black like a shadow. My dad went outside with the flashlight. My neighbor joined in the search because they thought it was a pervert trying to spy on us kids. Nothing was found, no footprints at the window, no one fleeing the scene, and no prints on the glass pane.

During the next three years, my sister and I would mention these continued sightings to our parents. Each time I was told it was nonsense and to stop terrorizing my siblings with 'ghost stories' and lies. My younger sister mentioned her own sightings that I had never witnessed. I don't know the details.

My mother eventually caved and admitted that she saw them too, primarily in the basement. She begged my sister and me to stop talking about them so my brother wouldn't be frightened. She even took us downstairs to pray over the space so that they'd maybe leave. Well, right around the time my brother learned to talk, he mentioned playing with 'the dude.' The dude would play with him often, apparently when no one else would. He described it as a tall dark figure but this one is apparently neutral toward him. He mentioned him for years until he turned nine, then he stopped talking about 'the dude' completely.

My parents divorced when I was about 12 and my mother and her new husband had two more sons. The older of these two boys (M was about four) he started talking about what he called the shadow man. The shadow man was neutral toward M.

I'm now in my 20s and I've kept seeing them throughout my life. It's pretty infrequent now admittedly. When I see them there's still a great dread when they just drift into the walls without approaching me. I added a quick illustration to this email of the shadow that I saw the first time. It seemed to ooze pure evil. I hope this story helps someone out there realize they aren't alone. Since then I've come to terms with these experiences."

BIGFOOT RECORDED in Michigan (VIDEO)

This video was recorded in Michigan according to the commentary. Apparently, the person who took the video was unaware of the Bigfoot's presence. He later discovered the beast after reviewing the recording and stabilizing it.

Take a look and let me know your assessment. Lon

The Peak of the Great UFO Flap of 1973 - PART II

 

The Peak of the Great UFO Flap of 1973, Part II of III

By Raymond A. Keller, Ph.D., a.k.a. “Cosmic Ray,” the author of the international awards-winning Venus Rising Series, published by Headline Books and available on Amazon.com, while supplies last.

Venus Rising: A Concise History of the Second Planet

Final Countdown: Rockets to Venus

Flying Saucers and the Venus Legacy

Abducted Fishermen

Location:  Pascagoula, Mississippi

Date:  11 October 1973

Two Mississippi men, fishing off the end of a pier in Pascagoula, Mississippi, claim they were abducted by extraterrestrials.  It was around 7 p.m. when Charles Hickson, 42, and his fishing buddy, Calvin Parker, 19, noticed a flashing blue light as it suddenly came up from behind them.  As they turned around and stood up with their eyes fixated on the intense blue, strobing brilliance, they could make out the contours of what seemed to be a cigar-shaped object directly over the entrance to the pier.  The two fishermen estimated that the UFO was about 20 feet long.  As the object began to slowly descend to about two feet above the ground, Hickson and Parker froze in place as the craft was blocking their only way off the pier and back to shore. 

A door in the side of the object opened up and three humanoid entities, each estimated to be about five feet in height, just “floated out” of the UFO, according to Hickson’s testimony.  The UFO occupants each had two eyes and a pointed, nose-like protuberance directly centered below their eyes.  There was also a horizontal, lipless slit below the seeming nose.  In addition to these facial features, the alien beings also had two spearpoint-like, eight-inch protuberances that stuck out, with one on each side of their heads.  These were situated on the head approximately where a human being’s ears would be.  What was particularly noteworthy of these creatures, noted Hickson, was that, “They had wrinkled, silvery metallic skin…. Like elephant skin, a little,” adding that, “Their hands were like crab claws.”  Unfortunately, neither Hickson nor Parker could remember anything about the feet.

Two of the aliens floated over to Hickson, the larger of the two men, with each one grabbing a separate arm of the fisherman, and guiding him thereby into the spaceship.  The other creature went after Parker.  It took him by his right arm and floated him into the ship as well.  Once inside, the only thing that Parker remembered was being approached by several creatures.  As soon as one of them touched him, he passed out and cannot recall anything that happened after that.

Many UFO investigators believe Charles Hickson and Calvin Parker’s 1973 UFO abduction case is one of the most authentic on record.  Artwork source:  Sunday Post (Dundee, Scotland)

Didn’t Ask for Medical Insurance Cards 

The only account of what happened after the two fishermen were floated into the ship is that of Hickson.  According to Hickson, once inside the UFO, his and Parker’s then-unconscious body were placed on the deck of the craft.  With the creatures standing overhead, a football-shaped, eye-like metal device floated over to Hickson, positioning itself just a few feet away from his head, whence it moved slowly down his body to his toes, apparently scanning it.  After completing the top scan, Hickson was turned over and the medical scanning process was repeated, with the football scanning device returning to the head position for the re-initiation of the scan from his backside.  Hickson estimated that he and Parker were onboard the craft for approximately 20 minutes.  He calculated this based on the fact that the scanning device went up and down his body four times before he was released and that each round with the device lasted about five minutes.  He was not aware of what was going on with Parker during the time he was being scanned until he was reunited with his friend when they were returned to the pier by the aliens.  

Aliens’ Departure

Hickson told reporters, “I was so scared, I don’t remember whether or not I spoke to them (the creatures) or not.  I do know that two of them remained silent.  The one transporting Parker, however, seemed to make noises that sounded like soft muttering.  I looked closely, but did not see its ‘lips’ (the slat) move.”   When asked if he could recall the muttering sound of the alien, Hickson said, “I think I can remember it, but I won’t swear to it.”

Hickson watched as the aliens returned to their spacecraft.  The door shut behind them and then their ship zoomed off the pier with a high acceleration, disappearing into the night sky in about five seconds.  All the while, Parker remained unconscious.  Hickson remained with him until he came out of it on his own.  Then the two fishermen made their way to a local police station to file their report.  

“Have you guys been drinking?” was the first question posed to them by the police sergeant on duty that night.  

“No, I have not,” replied Hickson, adding, “My friend Parker is very religious and does not drink at all.  But I am sure going to have one when I get out of here!”

 Both gentlemen were taken to a local hospital as Parker was in and out of shock for several days.  On the day following the incident, Hickson was hypnotized by Dr. James Harder, a psychologist from the University of California at Berkeley, who flew into Pascagoula at the behest of Dr. J. Allen Hynek of Northwestern University in Chicago, and the Air Force Technical Consultant on UFO Reports.  Under hypnosis, Hickson was regressed to the previous day and became so terrified from reliving the experience that Harder had to bring him out of the trance, fearing that Hickson might suffer a heart attack. 

Two weeks later Hickson underwent a polygraph test and passed it.  Together with the fact that other Pascagoula residents, unknown to Hickson, had reported sundry aerial phenomena to the local newspaper and police at around the same time as their abduction, led the polygraph examiner and many in ufology circles to classify this abduction case as one of the more authentic on record. Dr. Hynek later revealed his belief in the sincerity of Hickson’s testimony, after he was no longer working as a consultant for the Air Force Technical Intelligence Center’s Project Bluebook operation.

Possible Otherworldly Observations While SEARCHING FOR BIGFOOT

A man talks about his possible alien encounters as a child and later while searching for Bigfoot. He states that he observed strange craft-like objects & little lights while in the woods.

“I have seen what I believe to be Greys and I've seen them on two different occasions. Once when I was a child. I had an experience one night. I was probably around 6 or 7 years old. I remember sitting up in the bed. You know, back there in those days, back when I was a kid, people didn't lock their doors, stuff like that.

I kind of lived out in somewhat of a rural area and I remember the door coming open one night and this light coming through it. I mean just this bright, like a bluish-white light and I remember seeing this little person come walking in and he had this kind of leotard jumpsuit on and he came up and he sat down on the bed with me. And here I am, five or six years old, freaking out, you know. And I'm freaking out and I'm trying to scream but nothing is coming out. This creature, being, or whatever it was, just kind of sat there a minute, then it got up and walked into the kitchen. And my little curious self went in there and there was nothing in there. So I kind of chalked it up to be some kind of childhood dream or hallucination or something like that.

It wasn't until I was an adult that I saw a similar being, almost in the same way. I had just gotten married at that time back in like 1996 and, the thing came into my house in the same type of manner.

So have I seen them? Well, if I haven't seen them then I've had some pretty damn vivid dreams of them.

Now if you want to look at it from the perspective of, have I seen them while I was Bigfoot hunting? Well, I haven't seen a creature per se but I have seen some very strange craft-like objects and funny glowing little lights and stuff going through the woods and stuff while I was Bigfooting. I don't know. Even now, I'm a tad bit unsure if what I saw was even real but I'm 99% sure that, yes, I have seen aliens.” J

NOTE: I wish I had a nickel for every unexplained light or anomaly sighting associated with Bigfoot investigations or by a cryptid witness. It does happen frequently. Lon
