3-FOOT-TALL 'LITTLE PERSON' & BRILLIANT YELLOW LIGHT On I-20 Near Monroe, Louisiana

"It was dressed in what looked like a long dark-colored cloak. It stood about 3 feet tall and was making a hideous squealing sound that reminded me of a scared pig."

I received the following account back in November 2014:

Hello, Lon. On the night (around 9:30 PM) of November 10, 2014, I was driving home on I-20 heading west. I had been in Jackson, Mississippi, visiting relatives, and I was heading home to Shreveport, Louisiana. I make this trip many times a year, but I saw something that night that I cannot explain.

I was approaching Monroe, Louisiana, near the turnoff to Garrett Rd. I noticed something on the connecting road between the eastbound and westbound lanes. Other people noticed it because the brake lights on the vehicles were lighting up. As I slowed and got nearer, I could see that it was a little person running around in a circle with its arm extended—like it was imitating an airplane. Since it was dark, I couldn't make out any features. By that time, some of the vehicles had practically stopped, and I pulled off onto the turnoff shoulder. I was afraid that it was a child. I called 911 and was told that others had made similar calls.

I got out of my car and then noticed that a police cruiser was in the eastbound lane, approaching the little person. I stood at the back of my car and watched. The police officer pulled into the connecting road. At the same time, this little person was running away on the grassy median, heading west in my direction. It was still difficult to make out the features on this little person, but I could now see that it was not a child. It was dressed in what looked like a long dark-colored cloak. It stood about 3 feet tall and was making a hideous squealing sound that reminded me of a scared pig.

It continued to run west and passed me. There was another police cruiser in the westbound lane shining a spotlight on this little person. Then suddenly, a huge brilliant yellow light flashed from above this little person. It was blinding and lasted less than a second.

I was shocked and stunned. My knees became weak, and I needed to get back in my car and sit down. I looked out my window and didn't see any spotlights or vehicle lights. It was completely dark. Even the highway lights were off. I tried to start my car, but it wouldn't even turn over. I sat there dumbfounded, wondering what had happened. Then, after 20-30 seconds, the car turned over and all the highway and traffic lights came back on. I didn't see the little person after that.

I pulled onto the turnoff and eventually found my way back onto I-20 heading west towards home.

I still don't know what happened that night. I do believe that there was lost time since I noticed that my clock showed 10:13 PM.

For several weeks, I was hoping there would be some news about this incident, but I never noticed anything. I contacted the police in the Monroe area, and there was no record (according to them) of any calls. That was very unusual—I know this incident occurred. There were many witnesses who lost power to their vehicles as well.

Do you have any suggestions for who I can contact? Could you contact me at xxx-xxx-xxxx? Thank you." H

NOTE: The witness is a middle-aged man who wished to remain anonymous at that point. I believe he was a bit intimidated since no one has come forward about this incident. I did reach him by telephone and we discussed other avenues for obtaining information, including the local media. We talked later, in which he informed me that none of the media had received any reports. I made a few inquiries but to no avail.

I hadn't seen any reports on the MUFON CMS or NUFORC. BB believes that 10 or more vehicles were affected by the bright flash of light. I asked about the little person and what his assessment was. He was reluctant to go into detail but suggested that he felt that the little person was responsible for the flash of light. I believe this may have been a non-terrestrial encounter of some type. There are several scenarios one could make for the flash of light, but I'll leave that up to you. Lon

THE 'ANGUISHED MAN': PAINTED IN BLOOD!

I received a correspondence from a reader in the United Kingdom that centers around an odd painting aptly titled "The Anguished Man" which is supposedly haunted.

"Hi, Lon. I thought this might interest you. My Grandmother had this painting in her attic for twenty-five years. She said it was evil. She told us she used to see the dark figure of a man around the house and at night she heard strange noises and crying. She told me the artist committed suicide shortly after finishing it and that he had used his own blood mixed in with the oils. After she died we got the painting, it is currently in our basement. Shortly after we got the painting various members of the family started seeing the dark figure of a man. At night we began hearing noises and just recently we have heard crying and moaning. The painting is still in our house and although I never believed in the supernatural I am now convinced there is something evil about this painting. I am currently awaiting a full paranormal investigation being carried out." Sean Robinson, Cumbria, England



"My Grandmother had this painting in her attic for twenty-five years. She said it was evil. She told us she used to see the dark figure of a man around the house and at night she heard strange noises and crying. She told me the artist committed suicide shortly after finishing it and that he had used his own blood mixed in with the oils. After she died we got the painting, it is currently in our basement. Shortly after we got the painting various members of the family started seeing the dark figure of a man. At night we began hearing noises and just recently we have heard crying and moaning. The painting is still in our house and although I never believed in the supernatural I am now convinced there is something evil about this painting."

"6/18/2012: The noises have been getting worse. We heard crying coming from the corner of our bedroom. We started seeing the dark figure standing at the bottom of the bed, just apparently staring at us. It seems to be a middle-aged man but his features are not very clear. As a former skeptic, I'm very curious so I'm moving the painting into our bedroom, previously it's been in a cupboard downstairs. I'm feeling apprehensive and a little scared. I'll keep updating."


"12/19/2010: Things seemed to have settled down so I moved the painting again, and now it's started again with a vengeance. The noises are much worse, and I'm finding it difficult to get any sleep. I have no explanation for what is happening but I'm convinced it is all related to the painting. I'm going to set up a camera to try and capture some of the activity. l'll keep you updated."

"1/9/2011: I was recently looking at some photographs that were taken when I was transporting the painting in my car when I noticed something strange. My two sons were messing about in the back seat when one of them took this photograph of his younger brother. Is this a trick of the light or could this be the spirit that inhabits 'The Anguished Man'?"

"2/16/2011: I moved the painting back into the top bedroom. I set the video camera up and recorded for approx. eight hours over three consecutive nights. After spending several hours looking at the footage this is what I found. There were many other sounds recorded but they sounded like they came from outside, these were different. Shortly after moving the painting, my wife felt someone stroke her hair in the bathroom and I saw a strange fog-like mist at the top of the stairs that vanished as quickly as it came. The painting is now back in the cellar for the time being."

NOTE: Our team was the first to investigate this attachment case. The last that I heard, the painting remained in the attic. There had been no further reports of activity. The painting was eventually sold, and the new owners have been selling reproductions to the public. I lost touch with Sean eventually. Lon

GHOSTS OF SUSQUEHANNOCK GIANTS

There is actual historical documentation of giants living in America. The journal of Captain John Smith describes a 1608 incident when he and his crew encountered 60 eight-foot-tall giants of the Susquehannock tribe while traveling up the tributaries on the Chesapeake Bay. The Susquehannocks populated much of Pennsylvania at the time:

". . . 60 of those Susquehannocks came to us . . . such great and well-proportioned men are seldome seene, for they seemed like giants to the English . . . these are the strangest people of all those countries both in language and attire; for their language it may well beseeme their proportions, sounding from them as a voyce in a vault. Their attire is the skinnes of beares and woolves, some have cassocks made of beares heades and skinnes . . . The half sleeves coming to the elbows were the heads of beares and the arms through the open mouth . . . one had a head of a Woolf hanging from a chain for a jewell . . . with a club suitable to his greatness sufficient to beat out one's brains. Five of their chiefs wereowances came aboard us . . . (of) the greatest of them his hayre, the one side was long and the other shorn close with a ridge over his crowne like a rooster's combe . . . The calfe of whose leg was 3/4 of a yard around and all the rest of his limbes so answerable to that proportion that he seemed the goodliest man we ever beheld! " - From the voyages of Captain John Smith (of Jamestown, Va) - 1607 - 1609

In later years, when roads were being built and farmer's fields tilled, giant bones would occasionally be discovered. Then there were stories about the afterlives of these ancient giants...and it would appear that their spirits took exception to their graves being disturbed.

One of the early ghostly giants occurred in 1900...and was witnessed by several residents of the village of Mordansville, in Columbia County. The Bloomsburg Columbian published the following story on September 13, 1900:

While two young men were driving across the bridge a few evenings ago (Ed. Note: this would most likely have been the site of the bridge on Robbins Road that once crossed Little Fishing Creek) their horse suddenly stopped, refusing to go forward, and showing every evidence of fright, although they could see nothing... Becoming alarmed they called loudly for assistance and when some of the villagers arrived, carrying lanterns, they declare they saw a large skeleton standing directly in front of the animal... The ghostly visitor was distinctly visible to both the young men in the buggy as well as to the villagers... Since that evening the apparition has been seen by several people, its latest visit being Sunday night, when it appeared to two young girls who... assert positively that they saw the skeleton, which they declare was at least eight feet in height.


One week later, the newspaper continued reporting on this phenomenon in the September 20, 1900 edition of the Bloomsburg Columbian:

Mordansville still has its ghost. A resident of that village informs us that it appears almost nightly at one end of the bridge, looks to be about ten feet tall, is clothed in flimsy material of immaculate white, and makes a noise similar to a big wagon. He also says that travel over the bridge after nightfall has greatly decreased.

An excavated burial mound in western Pennsylvania seemed to be haunted by another giant. Apparently, the apparition was witnessed by the archaeologists themselves who were working at the burial site, which was located in South Huntingdon Township. After the local police were called to the location, word of the local haunting spread throughout the state and nation. The El Paso Herald published the following story on December 28, 1920:

Greensburg, Pa., Dec. 28-- The famous mound-builders' mound in South Huntingdon township has suddenly taken on life and the eight-foot inhabitants of olden days, according to the best-informed scientists, lay down to their eternal sleep, have just as suddenly started stalking out at nights... so strong has become the belief that all is not well within the famous mound, which is 300 feet long and 12 feet high, that Dave Kelly, the high constable and custodian of the peace in and about Gratztown, a mile from the mound, has been asked to investigate.

First news of the stalking of the ghosts of the ancient mound builders- for that is what the night prowlers are believed to be- came on Halloween night... But when on Armistice night Cy Brown and Sue Smith happened to be passing there and saw the same eight-foot apparition, Cy simply stepped on 'er- that is, on the gas, for he owns an auto, and made haste for the Armistice ball. Cy admits he wasn't scared...but those who saw him start home with Sue that night claim he took a five-mile detour to get home.

Some time ago Dr. W.J. Holland and his assistant, from the Carnegie Museum in Pittsburgh, invaded the quietness of the mound-builders' tomb and removed from it one of the eight-foot specimens. Whether this has angered the ancient denizens of the mound is a question the populace hereabouts is unable to determine so far.
