Phantoms and Monsters

So… Swedish Bigfoot after all?

“I walk about 100 meters when it feels like this thing moves beside me (in the dense woods, presumably, based on the pic), at the same time I pull out the cellphone. Just as I get to a clearing two deer run past, and when I snap a picture I catch this crazy shit instead.” - So… Swedish Bigfoot after all?

The Top Ten Paranormal Beasts In Britain

Karl Shuker describes beasts that defy explanation...with no plausible analogue in reality.

In modern times, Britain – reputedly the world’s most haunted country – has seen more than even its fair share of monstrous creatures reported, beasts assuredly more supernatural than natural. So here, in no particular order, is my own personal Top Ten paranormal terrors of the zooform kind (i.e. seemingly preternatural entities superficially resembling corporeal creatures). Encounter them at your peril! Continue reading at The Top Ten Paranormal Beasts In Britain

Alien Close Encounter

Hello Lon, I had an experience when I was about 8 or 9 years old. It was 1988 or 89 possibly. Not sure of the date exactly. I lived in San Antonio, Texas at the time. Not sure of the time exactly but it was during the night. Im now 31. I've had many strange experiences but this was the strangest.

Well at the time I had become frightened of my room. I wouldn't sleep in there at all and took to sleeping on a couch in our living room. I'm not sure how long this went on but I'm sure it was months or even a year. Im not sure what it was but I just couldn't sleep in there. One night after falling asleep on the couch I awoke. The tv was on but I couldn't see what was on it, it was blurry. I couldn't hear it either. I found it very strange that it was on. I also noticed that the kitchen light was on which I could see through the doorway that lead to the hallway and dining room areas. Which was also strange. I found that I couldn't move except my eyes. I was paralyzed and felt groggy like when you come out of surgery. I'm more than positive it was real and not a dream.

As I was staring at the tv wondering why it was on, I suddenly became aware that I wasnt alone. On the couch across from me I saw 2 gray very thin spindly beings sitting on the couch. In between us was a glass top coffee table. I just stared at them for what seemed like hours. I wasn't afraid but knew it was something very strange. They had long bodies, long thin arms and legs. Kind of large round heads. I couldn't see their faces for some reason. They stared back. Finally I see them turn to each other seeming to be discussing something, I could see them making gestures with their hands like people do when talking to another person. Then they both turned and looked at me. At this point I became a little scared. One of them starts pointing a finger at me. I could see its arm extending towards me with its finger pointed out towards me. I turn my eyes away scared and as the finger is about to touch my temple I close my eyes tightly and then blackness.

The next morning I awoke as if nothing happened. Im not even sure when I remembered this. Very strange indeed. I'm guessing I had woke at a wrong time and was put back to sleep. It was something I wasnt supposed to see is my impression of it. My parents and grandfather always spoke of "aliens" since I was very little. My grandfather had a possible abduction experience. My grandma on my dad's side was in the CIA. His dad was a well known pilot they called Stormy Raines. As Raines is our last name. My mother has had many very strange experiences and weird things seem to surround her as well as my younger brother. Leaving them both mentally unstable. I'm not sure what to think of it. My dad one time told me I was very perceptive and had special "powers" that I would one day learn/have to use. Well I hope you enjoy my story.

MJ-12: Beating the Dead Horse

I have been reviewing the history of MJ-12 and I have found something interesting. The first mention of MJ-12 was not when Bill and Jaime Shandera received the undeveloped film. It wasn’t even when Moore was planning a novel with Bob Pratt, one-time editor of the MUFON Journal and former reporter for the National Enquirer.

No, the first mention of MJ-12 was in 1981 in a one page document that seemed to be a legitimate AFOSI teletype message that has become known as the Aquarius Telex or the Aquarius Document. It is, in fact, a retyped version of an AFOSI report on UFOs photographed and filmed by Paul Bennewitz over Albuquerque, New Mexico. Although the majority of this document seems to be from a real report, there is one line that is not in the original. It says, “Results of Project Aquarius is still classified Top Secret with no dissemination outside official Intelligence channels and with restricted access to MJ - Twelve. [Emphasis added.]” Continue reading at MJ-12: Beating the Dead Horse
