I was in the in the desert camping. It was about 2 am and I was still in the truck cab eating pistachios and tossing the shells out of the open window. Huge full moon behind me about 2 o'clock in the sky I was watching it in the rear view mirror. All at once a tall being walked about 6 feet behind my truck and stopped. I turned around and looked out of the opened back window. It was about 8 feet tall, very very skinny, long arms with elbows below it's waste area, foot long skinny neck, oval head that had what looked like a 4 foot beard or tube hanging from it's lower face. I couldn't make out the feet or hands. It was walking like it was struggling, like if you walk in a swimming pool with the resistance of the water. As it stopped it barely moved it's shoulders but that freakish long neck turned the big head with at me. I don't know if it saw me in the truck. I froze. it turned it's head forward and continued on walking. It was bizarrely thin, like an insect. I got scared thinking it's so thin it's hungry...I took off, camping equipment in the back of my truck flying to the side of the dirt road as I drove.

 I went back 4 months later in the day light. I saw nothing unusual.I drove around a bit, it was a nice day and found a place that looked like a good hiking spot. As I got out of the truck, maybe about 3 in the afternoon I heard diesel engines struggling digging, like back hoes, earth movers, dump trucks dumping a load and banging the scooper to unload all the dirt, trucks backing up with the beep...beep..sound but there was nothing around. I was in the middle of nowhere on a dirt road, no other cars around for miles. I couldn't figure where the digging noise was coming from but wondered...I got on my hands and knees and listed to the ground, it was coming from under the desert landscape. I was standing on where the digging was coming from.

As I stood up I saw two very shiny white pick up trucks facing the front of my truck, onyx black windows. they were so shiny the sun reflecting on them hurt my eyes. Driving in the desert piles dust on a truck, these looked like they just came off a show room. I got scared, I guess they saw me listening to the ground and I suppose I wasn't suppose to hear that sound. As I got back in the truck I saw two more white trucks exactly the same behind me, facing me. I drove off looking if they were following me, they weren't.As I got to the nearest road my heart sank as there were two more of the same trucks waiting for me at the intersection, facing each way so which ever way I was going one truck would be right behind me. As I got on the road the truck behind me followed me right on my bumper. I was going 90 MPH and the truck was right behind me, the other truck then was trying to pass me, I was swerving two lanes to keep it from passing me. I came up to an exit to some buildings and decided to give it a shot and exited. At the same time the two trucks slowed down and made a U turn and went back.They could have taken me out in the desert and no one would have found me or my truck, but they didn't. Did they want to kill me on the road??? I don't know, but I was terrified to go home thinking they'd be there, but I never saw them again and NEVER went back!!!!My thought is...I discovered a government instillation being built, maybe for national security...why chase me when that giant insect like being was walking around a few months prior about 2-4 miles from where I heard the digging sound? Is that location ET/Human/Government????

Here is my interview. This occurrence starts at 01:08:00 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=imjn4jIp3ps

I live in CT in the valley near RT 8. I've had paranormal experiences & encounters since I've been a kid. I'm somewhat psychically attuned (I know when friends/family die - they always come to visit me before I'm given the news.) I have dream premonitions that come true as well, but that's the extent of my abilities. I'm pretty sure my family is of interest because my father (now deceased) & sister have had encounters as well. My mother is a nonbeliever. I'm not going to get into the stuff from the past because I've come to an okay place with it all. I know they happened, they're my truth. But something different happened that's kind of upsetting me.

A few nights ago around 2am I threw a trash bag onto my deck & I saw a smaller alien species looking at me behind my neighbors house. Not too big of a head, thin body. It was darker but not so dark it blended into the background. It extended it's hand out to me, but I just walked backwards into my home & locked my doors. It's kinda crazy to me because I remember at that time thinking "you really didn't see it, just go to bed" & it was almost like it was completely washed away from my memory. That night I had an awful dream but it was nothing about that encounter. I completely forgot about it general.

Fast forward to this morning. My boyfriend stayed the night with me but left early around 4am to get to work. I decided to throw on a show & I fell back to sleep for what seemed to be only a few minutes. I dreamt of what I forgot about a few night ago & I instantly woke up from it.

Most of my previous encounters, I've remember clearly. All of the dream encounters I've had, I've remembered very clearly. So, it's like strange to be this one time, this one was completely stripped of my memory only to be replanted.

I guess I'm looking to see if anyone has experienced something like this? Any thoughts would be appreciated, thanks.

Location: Boone, IA, USA

I had some more weird shit happen last night.

I took my two dogs for walks, I normally walk Fin (large, all black German Shepherd) toward the park where I have had these experiences, and I walk Booger (chi terrier mix) the other direction toward downtown.

On my walk with Fin, about a block away in the direction I was headed, I saw 3 or 4 deer calmly walking toward the park. Most nights where something "weird" happens to me start like this. The deer seemed completely unbothered by me as I approached. They kept walking toward the park but stopped every few steps to look back at me, as if they wanted me to follow them. Then, as Fin and I reached where the deer were, I notice about 10 or more other deer waiting as well. They all start walking together, calm, but still looking back at me every few feet. On my way toward the park i smell the stench of rotting meat, I know the smell very well as I used to be a butcher. It was strong. Like someone plugged my nostrils with rotting ground meat or something. At the same time I smell this stench, I get the chills. Fin's hair stands up and he gets more nervous. I can feel the air around me get colder.

As we continue walking I look down an alleyway that cuts the block in half and, if you would walk down the dark alley, would spot you out where I eventually walk back home. I was two blocks away from the park, when you reach the park you can either turn around and walk down the same road, you can continue into the park, or you can continue on the road which turns left. Looking down that alleyway you are looking at the part of the road that continues left, which is the way I take every night on my way back home.

What I saw I tried to convince myself wasn't real or maybe I just saw something else and my brain tried to convince me it was this.

A large, muscular, pale, hairless, creature (?) that was moving fast. So fast I could barely see it, I saw the motion down the alley about two blocks away. The exit of the alley on that side has a street light directly above it, it wasn't standing still, it was moving and it was moving fast. The only reason I'm positive what I saw wasn't deer or something normal is because of something I saw later that night that I will write about when I talk about my walk with Booger. It solidified that what I saw was something I wasn't supposed to see.

In the meantime I convinced myself I was making stuff up and being a pussy. As we approach the treeline of the park, the large group of deer move to the side of the street where the neighborhood is, while I'm on the side with the treeline. I noticed something in the clearing. A lone deer, separate from the large group across the street, staring directly at me.

I have my flashlight pointed at him, and I even hung up my call with my wife to use my phone to take video of this moment.

This lone deer doesn't even have micro movements from breathing. The other deer across the street were constantly readjusting.

You might be thinking to yourself "oh yeah, deer do that with bright lights shining at them. Deer in headlights always act like that." Just wait.

Fin starts to pull very hard and acts anxious, nearly knocking me over, I turn to look across the street towards the large group of deer for at most 3 seconds before quickly turning around to face the lone deer again.

In those 3 seconds, that lone deer is easily 30 feet closer to me, still not moving, staring directly at me. I have this on video, I have pictures. I felt weird, I felt unsafe. I've lived in rural Iowa my whole life, I am and have always lived outdoors. This didn't feel normal. I was scared.

I back away while shining my light at the deer, once I get a block or so away, he finally turns around and calmly walks into the tree line.

The whole way home I feel like I'm being stalked, not just watched, but like something is following me.

Here is a link to that video of the deer getting closer to me:

https://youtube.com/shorts/S1l2FRxKO58?si=Dv8362ajs7DR8UWw

Now, I went home and sat for a bit and tried to talk myself into believing it was all coincidence. After nearly 20 minutes, I started to walk Booger, my smaller chi mix.

The entire walk was nice and very enjoyable actually, I had my earbuds in and was talking to my wife about what I saw in a joking way.

"Man I'm such a pussy, I really scared myself for no reason" I said.

At the end of the walk I turn to go down our alleyway, as I leave from the garage on our walks.

I stop speaking from what I saw on the opposite end of the alley. My wife heard me stop.

I want to preface this with I did not have any substances, including alcohol, for weeks up to that point. The most I ever do in that department is a few beers or I'll use some weed to ease anxiety if life is getting hard. I have no mental conditions that will cause me to hallucinate, the most I have is a personality disorder resulting from trauma that I've been overcoming quickly this last year.

I saw two, large, muscular, pale, hairless creatures walking like apes at the end of the alley. The same thing I thought I saw with fin, this time not going fast, much closer, and it felt intentional. I saw them walk across the street very slowly, staring directly at me. These were not deer.

They didn't have long faces like deer, they didn't have fur or tails, they didn't walk like deer. They weren't slender like a deer. My first thought was honestly that I was looking at two hairless male lions. In the middle of Iowa.

I stood there, paralyzed with fear, well after they had left my sight. 15 seconds later, I finally get the courage to walk the few feet into the garage, when I take my first step, I see a third one. Slowly meandering across the street. Staring at me. Booger noticed him too, and started growling.

I ran to the door and watched the garage shut all the way.

The entire night, Fin guarded the bedroom door. He never does that. He sat staring at the door all night. Booger stared at the windows all night. He never does that either.

This happened to me yesterday night, Monday, May 13, 2024.

I don't know what to think.

To begin with, I will state that this post was months in the making (mostly waiting and chasing false leads) and carries with it perhaps some answers, plenty of questions, and perhaps for some, a similarity to their own experiences. Special thanks to u/Neo-Rex as well as u/ebycon for their assistance in helping me find and rule out some areas of research.

Disclaimer: The following images and text are provided without photo manipulation on my end (besides simple cropping and scanning). There are going to be many references in this post to Italian media, magazines, as well as individual writers. This is by no means an endorsement, advertisement, or other form of ARG intended to sell, market, or persuade anyone to buy, rent, or procure any of the described materials. Because I know this is a new area of topic, and because the images provided are of an unusual nature, I will provide various sources to prove that these images are not enhanced, manipulated by hand or by a contemporary photo manipulation program or AI generation.

Before we get into the nitty gritty of the images I will provide background as to how I came upon these images, and the flow of information.

I was first made aware of these images after researching separate alien encounters for a post of mine (see that post here for further details regarding that) one of the sources used was "alieni in italia 1945-1995 50 anni di incontri ravvicinati". On page VIII towards the back of the book these images (or rather image as three were compressed into one section) as well as the following text appears

https://preview.redd.it/le5wrt3rm60d1.jpg?width=806&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=39919dfcd089925de049eb66794003a5dab20573

"Vero alieno o scoop giornalistico? Ho evitato di inserire nel presente catalogo questo caso avvero singolare. Si tratte infatti di alcune foto )5_ scattate da un non meglio indentificato "professore universitario di pavia" nell'estate del 1986 e pubblicate da sette. il settimanale del Corriere della Sera. Si referiscono ad una presunta entita aliena che si sarebbe manifestata al professore in una situazione del tutto casuale. Non sono mancati pareri sfavorevoli expressi da parecchi ufologi. ( Foto tratte da: Sette n. 9/10 sette giorni illustrati dal Corriere della Sera, 5 marzo, 1988.

Translated: "Real alien or journalistic scoop? I have avoided including in the present catalog this singular case. These are in fact some photos(5) taken by an unidentified "university professor from Pavia" in the summer of 1986 and published by seven. The weekly newspaper Corriere della Sera. They refer to an alleged alien entity that allegedly manifested itself to the professor in a completely random situation. There was no shortage of unfavorable opinions expressed by several ufologists. ( Photo taken from: Seven No. 9/10 seven days illustrated by Corriere della Sera, March 5, 1988.

That was all the information provided within. (it should be noted that although this description mentions 5 photos, there are only these 3 provided within Moreno Tambellinis book.) These images captured my attention fairly quickly as I am fairly familiar with purported alien/supernatural photographs, so to find one I have never seen, and in such a quality which is general not present within other such photos as these, was more than enough to tip my curiosity in the direction of delving deeper.

First attempt at finding further information regarding these photos, and this particular magazine issue ended in little success, though I was able to find what I, at the time, believed to be a correctly colorized image of this entity. See below.

https://preview.redd.it/tc06rvxum60d1.png?width=341&format=png&auto=webp&s=141ee2128cdcd0894f57f999876ff380a4def235

Unassuming on some random blog that attributed a name to this entity while providing no further information regarding the image itself (as certain ufological circles are want to do). Not finding further information I attempted to find further information based off of this colorized image, but to no avail. Save for one source that used this image ( in a different colorized manner, slightly less yellow and oozing with potential, that being this image by Argentinian Ufologist Dante Franch. See below.

https://preview.redd.it/39i2rdvxm60d1.png?width=280&format=png&auto=webp&s=14bf476ca33164db334bc4b835a52b349d66990d

Finally, someone who might have a lead on this information! But no, once again this image is deceptively alluring as the contents of this book have absolutely nothing to do with the Sette report, but simply use its image to describe unsourced and unverified tales of the City of Erks (a wild dive on its own and may be deserving of its own post) and other entities that supposedly have a resemblance to this cover image.

Upon further searches I came across this archived link with additional images some with closer to truth color, including the aforementioned first colorized image here https://web.archive.org/web/20080312200229/https://www.anomalia.org/perspectivas/fotosets/campo_cielo.htm as well as the additional references. The author of this blog post is Mexican Ufologist Luis Ruiz Noguez, notable for his skepticism and thorough investigation relating to this material, so it was a no-brainier to look into his research regarding this seeing as he had previously mentioned it here on his blogpost. So where better to look than his book "Extraterrestres ante las camaras" Volume X dealing specifically with italian encounters and purported alien photographs. But again, despite his previous notation in this blog, the contents of these images specifically are nowhere to be seen or mentioned within this book.

Research stagnated for some time during the search process for the original source cited in Moreno Tambellinis book. I was able after five months (you have no idea how hard it was to find a copy) able to acquire a copy of this magazine and finally was able to determine that the previously assumed white coverall of this entities outfit has been a false notion.

The following text is a translation of the pages within this issue of march 7th 1988 Sette: Corriere della Cera . 9/10, the original scans, as well as a translated text document of these pages can be found in the sources listed below. Important note: although these images are primary focus of this article, it does meander into thoughts on Whitley Striebers book "Communion" (which will be a source of contention that will be covered later in this post). But the translated post here is the relevant text to these images.

"Just as we were editing a report on the UFO phenomenon that was supposed to appear on 7 at the same time as the television passage of Spielberg's film Close Encounters of the third kind, we came across a resounding surprise: the images published in these pages and on the cover of this issue. They were taken completely by chance, one summer evening in 1986, by a professor at the University of Pavia, above all suspicion and known for his balance, his intelligence and rationality, completely alien to the somewhat emphatic and vaguely bizarre world of the so-called "contactees": those people who say they have entered into a relationship with unknown entities from the cosmos."

"He is a completely normal person who has always been skeptical of the reports of unidentified flying objects and is now also a testimony, erroneous to the idea that his name is related to the disturbing figure captured by his camera. The university lecturer has agreed to give us what he considers to be evidence of his shocking experience in exchange for absolute confidentiality"

"What to make of these images? We can make a few assumptions.

A) The author of the photos is a mystrifier. It is unlikely: too much resistance has opposed the publication of his document (which he has yielded for free to 7). In addition, he wishes to remain anonymous. A behavior that is certainly not that of those who want to speculate on a scooop, true or presumed.

B) The author is the victim of a game. Someone made him take "fireflies for lanterns". A well-thought-out game, by true professionals. It is not unlikely, even if the professor is not a "contactee", one obsessed with extraterrestrials, that is, a man who could arouse "temptations" among those who know him.

C) The photos really document something alien. A mysterious otherness has been captured by the professor's camera, who was the first to be surprised by this tangible presence, imprinted on the film that is absolutely different from a hallucination. What to say? What are we to think of images that forcefully re-propose the problem (or the dream, or the myth, or the nightmare) of the existence of other beings, of other civilizations that populate galaxies or dimensions unknown to us? Science continues to question these facts, but an answer is still a long way off. All experiences at the "edge of reality" are embarrassing. The line that divides science and mystery is still vague. Prudence, in these cases, is a must. And the desire not to appear is widespread among the witnesses. The professor from Pavia, who chose restriction, has an illustrious precedent."

"These images, taken on a summer evening in 1986 by a professor at the University of Pavia, who asked to remain anonymous, are the subject of various hypotheses of interpretation in the text of the article. The reader is free to draw his own conclusions."

Here are the direct scans of this entity as they appear in the magazine, scanned directly out of a physical copy of this magazine. (do note although these images are uploaded in different order I believe they may be sorted as such, I make no claim to the accuracy of this in terms of chronological order, but which is most aesthetically appeasing.)

Now, while the article was very keen to post certain aspects of this, it was rather lacking, and it must be stated although the title of this issue, as well as the description in the article infer this is related to UFO's. There is no mention of an actual UFO or craft present within this encounter, or at the very least, this information was omitted from the article, and was potentially removed at the request of the professor in question, though that is speculation on my part.

The following sections will deal with the author of this previous issue, as well as the two follow-up articles and their individual authors.

There is more information present as the above text states, not from the previous issue, but from two separate follow-up articles that were saved and printed in the Italian Ufo magazine "UFO express no. 043." Link to the full untranslated issue here. These separate addendums fully cover the images in question and are critical but not overly-so. The most important aspect to this is that the professor provided further information to Sette, primarily about what they were doing prior to this entities appearance, but also their means of photographic capture.

{Page 1}

UFO: Is this being from another world? read the scroll on the cover of 7 (No. 9/10) that we republish on this page. Hundreds of phone calls and letters arrived at the editorial office, and they continue to arrive after Mino Damato in his TV program Alla ricerca dell'arca (Sunday, March 27, Rai 3 8:30 p.m.) dealt with the same images, depicting a hypothetical alien photographed by a professor at the University of Pavia one summer evening in 1986.

There are those who believe in this hypothetical alien and those who do not, but all of the readers who have phoned or written are bound to each other by the rejection of that question mark printed on the cover: each of them is persuaded to erase the hypothesis, to tear away the veil of the enigma. And they split into two equally intolerant parties, leaving no room for doubt. We have chosen two exemplary letters. The first letter comes from Brixen and is signed by Mr. Nicola De Paola (2 Clesia Street). He says “the alien is a tobogganist: typical are the tight suit the aerodynamic helmet, the face crushed by the transparent visor, the blurred colors and contours of the photos are due to the fact that they were taken from television, with the obj vo blurred or too close up and strange an alien with limbs, head, face and body identical to those of man; I too will be able to take photographs quite similar to those published; as a reader I feel mocked.”

Others have certainly seen in the hypothetical alien: a surgeon, a nurse, an ice skater, an Icelandic firefighter, a Norwegian cryologist (sic), a KGB spy, a hockey player with his head bandaged; in short, some man in overalls or uniforms. No one has identified in the figures, despite the width of the pelvis, a woman or an androgynous. The second letter comes from Ferrara and is signed by Mr. Giovanni Mantovani (via Luigi Borsari 51). Says; When I saw the photographs I immediately thought: but look, it looks like the E.T. seen by R.M on September 2, 1987 while he was fishing on the bank of the Canal Bianco (RO). He felt an intense tingling, turned around and saw a strange individual: dark complexion, 2 meters tall, hair that looked like plastic, wearing a luminescent blue jumpsuit. The apparition lasted a few seconds.R.M. felt a chill, a feeling that was renewed at the sight of your photos... Only one remark can be made to the professor of Pavia: that of not having given the readers further clarifications about the close approach of the third type...

Here are the further clarifications that the professor from Pavia has allowed us to give, although he is consumed by the fear of being uncovered and covered with ridicule. The photos were taken by a Nikon camera, with motor-drive, 55 mm lens. Micro, 3.5 aperture, shutter speed: 1/4 second Polachrome film, 40 Asa sensitivity. Shortly after the sun went down, the professor was completing some experiments on the optical perception of dogs (how does a dog see things in the world? Black and white? With what depth, in what perspective?). That alone is almost ridiculous. We were missing the hypothetical alien. A dog joke? Maybe. But the professor never solved the riddle. And dogs don't talk. ~ Paolo Pietroni

The hypothetical alien out of 7 has caused conflicting reactions. The photo was taken from a Nikon by a university lecturer while carrying out experiments on the visual perception of dogs

Your E.T. seems to me to be a feminine being...

Dear editor, I am writing to you in relation to the series of 5 photographs taken by a better identified professor of Pavia one summer evening in 1986 and which appeared in the supplement of the Corriere della Sera n. 9/10 Since I am not familiar with photographic technique, I have written down the shooting parameters communicated by you personally during Mino D'Amato's television program In Search of the Ark on March 27.

Correct me if I'm wrong: Nikon camera body with motor, 5.5 mm focal length lens, aperture dia 3.5, exposure time 1/15 of a second. Certainly, with this adjustment, every little movement of the camera or of the photographed subject causes a blurred or rather blurred photograph. Probably, this whole story of the photos arose from the need of the Rizzoli Group to launch on the market the Italian version of the best American seller Communion by Ted Jacob, which deals, coincidentally, with the subject of extraterrestrials. This colossal business is also sponsored by the production of the film, which has been "posted" while waiting for the possible buyers of such a profitable product to be sufficiently sensitized...

Having said this, I wish, through his kindness, to convey to the professor of Pavia my modest comments on his photos. Feminism aside, I confess that the first spontaneous observation I made on these photographs was to recognize without a shadow of a doubt a woman, or rather a female being; The conformation of the hips, the breasts, combined with the grace of the bowed pose with folded arms, unequivocally belonged to a woman. But let's get to the details.

The suit - It appears so tight that it shows every little part of the body so as to give the impression of a "second skin"; It has light blue-green bands (as shown in the photo on the right on page 74) that are more evident around the neck, on the shoulders and on the arms.

The hands - They appear covered by the sleeves and more elongated than ours (cover figure), dare I say w(bed.

The head - Although it is more mobile, it clearly shows these elements: oval face with a slightly flattened nose, microphone with a light-colored support arm placed at the height of the left ear (photo on the right, page 74)

The headset - It is completely different from any type currently built because it contains a transceiver module at the top for contact with some support organ (e.g. an operations center, or a cosmoplane, or another operator), similar to what happens in Italy when astronauts go out of their vehicle and maintain constant radio contact with the control center.

The transceiver part can be seen both in the cover photo and on page 74, left and right, and is indicated by the protuberance on the top of the skull.

This study was born well out of any venal or other interest, in fact I am not a ufologist, but a pilot in full flight activity and with command responsibilities; I have been a first-hand witness to the phenomenon commonly associated with the improper name of UFO

Sure of the need to deal with the subject with more compatible methodologies than those promulgated by scientists and ufologists, I dedicate myself to the enhancement of aeronautical contactism, intending with this new term to redefine the sightings of military and civil pilots, aeronautical technicians, engineers, etc. who through direct experience with the phenomenon have acquired the conviction that we are not alone Only those who have had a direct impact with the phenomenon (the contactee) can provide a plausible image of themselves... everything else... They are only lucubrations born from mindsets that are not up-to-date with the present sotric moment on the one hand, and with the characteristics of the phenomenon on the other.

I forwarded his observations to the professor in Pavia, author of the photos depicting the hypothetical alien. Thank you for your interesting analysis. You are free to believe it or not, but the Rizzoli Communion book had an absolutely random presence in our service: we liked the design of the cover; the portrait of that E.T. and we thought of enriching the illustrations of the service.

Roberto Doz (a fairly interesting individual on his own, air force colonel with his own UFO sighting) read more on that here

As for the author of the original article. Their name is Nullo Cantaroni, and may be more well known by his wife Bice Cairati( Sveva Casati Modigiani), Nullo Cantaroni had a fairly successful journalistic career, dealing primarily in medicine as co-authorized by fellow science journalist Severina Cantaroni. He eventually succumbed to Parkinson's disease. I make mention of these authors, Roberto Doz (who has a very good reason to be interested in the topic as he had his own experience). As well as the other two as these are not the ramblings of some crazy pumping out their own versions of weekly world news, but were and still are highly credible and respected peoples, whom by their own association are taking the flak for posting this material to begin with.

From here on out, this is going to be a further dive into the already presented material, some comparisons with other cases which have direct correlation with these images, as well as other information during my research that has not been touched on up until this point.

In the first follow-up article there is mention of a show "Alla Ricera dell'arca (In search of the ARK)". With he show discussing the images posted here. I was able to confirm that this episode does exist, with the covered material, and is within the RAI archives (Italian TV network/station). However, they would not lend the episode out to a non-Italian citizen, or someone associated with a University, or media conglomeration. I mention this as there may be more material covered in this episode that was not provided in the main article and its follow-ups. If there are any Italian citizens, or peoples reading this who have the appropriate accreditation to acquire a copy of this episode I would ask for your cooperation in attempting to do so. If someone has a copy of this simply recorded off of an old VHS I implore you to make that available to all.

Going back to the main article, the meandering to Communion is certainly off-putting, though I disagree with the previous mention that this was a hoax on the part of the publication to push Communion. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence after all (even though Carl Sagan never bothered with the evidence, side tangent: listen to J Allen Hynek talk about that here) But I believe these images were published in good faith on part of Nullo Cantaroni, his background and thorough career would make this unlikely.

So as it figures there are three scenarios here that describe this scenario (in no particular order of likelihood)

1. these images are hoaxed by the publication to push communion

2. these images are hoaxed by the supposed professor

3. these images are legitimate and provide evidence of a non-earth based entity.

Before I move on I'd like to mention that I did attempt to reach out to Corriere della Sera multiple times regarding this material but was never given a response.

To round this off the images themselves. Humanoid obviously, female-appearing, now I say appearing because assuming this really is some unexpected entity, there is no guarantee that the physiology of this figure accurately represents its determination, and although this entity appears to have what we'd consider to be skin, that may only be a covering to another form or may be some type of robotic synthetic life-form designed specifically to mimic human appearances. What may be most interesting or most alarming depending on your perspective is this entities face appears to change between shots, and yet seemingly keeps the same body proportions. If you are of the opinion this is some type of hoax you could state this is an obvious inconsistency between shots. On the other hand, that is an obvious conclusion to make and showing differentiating faces would be a rather odd choice on the part of a hoaxer. This again could be part of the photographing process, as there is motion blur between some of these photos and it simply gives an appearance that things are changing.

There are other features which must be touched upon, namely the clothing, but in one such photo, what appears to be some type of headgear wrapped around this entities face. To anyone with a passing knowledge of ufology and its associated lore would know, the favorite of any interstellar interloper is the tight formfitting bodysuit. Primarily described as blue, although other colors are often reported. But unlike most humanoid encounters described in the west, this entity seems to have a darker complexion about them. Now does that mean this does not fit in with established prior encounters? Not at all, for whatever reason the blonde-hair nordic is the most popular discussion topic when it comes to human-adjacent lifeforms, but in other places, and Italy especially, some of their most well know or most covered, feature entities with darker complexions. Case in point

This encounter in 1978 Italy with a dark-skinned entity in a shimmering scaled suit.
Or this description of a dark skinned entity with a similar described blue suit reported in 1987

Location. Villamarzana, Rome, Italy Date: September 2 1987 Time: 1700

Renzo Munari was fishing on the Bianco Canal when he noticed a strange object flying at a moderated speed over the river, as the object disappeared from sight he felt a strange prickling sensation in his body, resembling electrical static. Turning around he saw a very tall human-like figure staring intently at him. The figure was at least 2 meters in height, with orange hair and dark skin. He wore a luminous blue colored tight fitting coverall. On the left side of his chest there was a square orange colored “tag.” During the encounter the witness felt a cool wave of air and light headed. The figure apparently disappeared into the brush.

There is also this report from 1989 Russia

Location. Salsk, Rostov region, Russia Date: August 13 1989 Time: 2300

Working at a cotton irrigation plant Vasiliy Ivanovich suddenly experienced total equipment failure without any apparent cause. While searching for the cause of the breakdown, the witness heard a loud voice, “He is searching for the cause”. Looking around he saw four humanoids standing close to him. One stood in the front, while the other three stood in the back. He described the humanoids as tall, with long dangling arms, with a large head, flattened on the top and wide at the temples. The humanoids are dark red or brown in color with large egg-shaped eyes and two holes instead of a nose. They have no lips, and thin strip instead of a mouth. They were wearing truncated shiny blue coveralls and footwear. The humanoid standing at the front of the others held a box in his hand and a soft pleasant voice seemed to emanate from the box. He held the box at stomach level. Ivanovich approached the humanoids and asked who they were; the reply was a question asking him if he wanted to go with them. At this point the witness saw a light at the edge of the nearby woods and a hovering object. The humanoids then floated slowly towards the craft and disappeared. Terrified the witness ran to the village to notify other witnesses but upon returning to the site the humanoids had already left.

As for the headgear, there is a report from 1995 Italy of an entity not resembling this one in this post, but wearing a similarly described headpiece.

Location: Ancona, Italy Date: February 3 1994, Time: 9:00am

Six witnesses, including a Mr. Giulo observed a strange humanoid wandering around some nearby rocks. The humanoid was described as about 1 meter and a half in height, wearing a tight fitting black coverall that covered his whole body including a pair of very long feet. The face was elongated with two huge round eyes, with round black pupils. It appeared to be wearing earphones with a small thin protruding antenna. It seemed to stagger slowly and after about 10 minutes it rose up slowly and vertically into the air, quickly disappearing from sight

There is also this case from Barisciano Italy 1978 in which an entity bearing a striking similar blue color to the outfit was seen, with an adorning white "cap" or hairpiece that resembled that of a cap. read the untranslated version of that encounter here

https://preview.redd.it/gkgzwmvyp60d1.png?width=310&format=png&auto=webp&s=65238cf5324c0acfcc076966d141d0114eb89be5

Finally, lets get back to the person allegedly behind this whole spiel, the Professor. A claim such as this, where an entity appears in ones presence without any known means is a stark claim all on its own, to provide photos of such an encounter is another thing all together, but being as its an anonymous person, how can we gleam any credibility out of this? To put it in other words, is there enough information provided within the original article as well as the follow-up articles to speculate on a potential identity to who this man could have been?

Emphatically yes, infact there is only one such individual who fits the criteria with the information provided, granted this information was given after the fact of the original articles publication. In the first article within UFO express that discusses this, we are told this person is running experiments relating to dogs (canine) eyesight, but the author was unsure whether or not this is a jest of some sort. I do not believe it is, in the secondary article it is again mentioned that this professor is working with canine eyesight, but in a caption on the second page it is emphasized this was "non-academic research". Now does that mean it was unrelated to their professional focus? No, it simply means this research was carried outside of official means. This leads me to who I believe the primary suspect is in terms of a potential identity, could there be other more accurate people? Perhaps. But this persons tenure and level of research within this subject and the timeframe of when they were working at the University of Pavia lines up perfectly with who this person could be. However, because of doxxing concerns, and that they initially requested complete anonymity from the publication I will not be directly naming their identity here. But I will heavily state that this person worked in the university of Pavia from 1985 in the zoology department and specifically with foxes and wolves. With this person having worked and published (into the present) works related to both of these fields. I have attempted to personally reach out to this professor both via email & telephone (their academic numbers, not personal) but have

received no response. I would ask that if you do look into who this person is that you do not attempt to directly contact them as their lack of a response is response enough.

What was the encounter like? How long did it go on for? Was there a conversation or was this a quick in and out? These questions and more are not answered here, and perhaps never will be unless someone; the professor, an associate, or anyone else, comes forward with more details we are left wondering and wanting more. There is of course much to be said about these images and the potential for further investigations, including the peculiar hands this entity seems to posses that does have a passing resemblance to other cases, but lest this drag on to long I will leave it here and attempt to answer any questions that I may be capable of giving insight on.

Tom (2018, Qld, Australia)

I (42M) was heading on a hike to Lamington national park with a woman I was seeing for a few months at the time, Belinda. She brought along her two boys 10 - 12. I had met them a few times l, but this was going to be a good bonding experience to see how we got along on an overnight adventure. I really liked B and I wanted to get serious with her. There was a lot counting on this.

My old boy used to bring me up to this campsite called Binna Burra our favorite hike was the Coomera circuit. You start on the top of the mountain with all the views then descend down into the valleys where there's lush rainforest, waterfalls and what not. Stunning place, teeming with an abundance of beautiful colorful birds, reptiles, these bright blue yabbies that lay scattered along the tracks, fireflies and a multitude of leeches and ticks. Pack deet.

The drive from Brisbane was good and the boys loved the drive up the mountain, Belinda not so much she apparently has a fear of heights I learned.

There were on and off showers and the track was slippery but we packed ponchos and the kids were having a blast as we set off on our trek.

We booked a safari tent up near the lodge and everything seemed to be going perfectly for our weekend getaway.

We were about a half way through the hike when the youngest boy slipped and hurt his knee as we were crossing a creek. It was only a graze, but I think the shock of getting a bit wet and the panic made him a bit emotional and he was crying for a bit. I cleaned up the scrape and put on some bandaids and decided to carry him on my shoulders for a bit until he felt better.

Belinda was acting quiet, and I thought maybe she wasn't enjoying herself, she was laughing and joking around just before. I thought maybe I did something wrong or she was upset her son got hurt.

I asked if she was good and she nodded and smiled and went along gazing around quietly.

We started heading up the mountain for a bit and as we were walking we could hear something thundering through the trees towards us, branches snapping, loud bangs, impacts. We look up the hill to see a large stone the size of a basketball flying down just ahead of us on the trail.

We watched as it bounced across our path, hitting into a tree and continuing down the hill.

I warned everyone to watch out, sometimes with erosion rocks can fall. I was honestly shaken, a rock like that could easily kill someone if it hit them.

We continued walking, keeping an eye on the hill above for more rocks and debris as we zig zagged up and around the mountain. Only five minutes later another rock came crashing down, this one further away, but it was followed by another that was coming right towards us, we had plenty of time to get out of the way, but if we weren't paying attention…

When the third came I knew something was up, this wasn't right, someone was throwing these rocks down the mountain, it didn't feel like a natural occurrence, the way they were spread out. It didn't make sense.

I shouted up the mountain that if it was someone doing that to stop, there's hikers.

In response another rock flew down towards us.

I screamed out that they were going to kill someone and that we had children with us.

Two more large boulders crashed down the hill leaving a trail of destruction.

We heard shouts of another three or four people, another group of hikers further down the hill shouting out the same complaints as us.

A man ran up ahead until he was in shouting distance and called out to us.

Another stone came crashing down and by this point the kids were crying and Belinda was shaking.

I told them to stay there and that I would run up ahead. And I did just that. I started running up the hill, until I couldn't breathe any longer. I reached where the zig zag ended and continued along the mountain ridge and no one was there. I went up and down the trail until I reached an elderly couple sitting on a bench at a look out.

I talked to them for a few minutes asking if they saw anything or any other hikers. They said they hadn't. That they had come from the opposite way and hadn't seen anyone for ages, a guided tourist group a few km back the other way, but too long ago to be the culprits.

I went back down to Belinda and the kids, by this time they were with the other hikers and we did the last leg of the journey together. We caught up with the old couple as well near the exit.

Once we left the group with some of the other hikers bombarding one of the rangers we headed toward the shower blocks. Belinda pulled me aside once she had the kids organized and she told me that she didn't want to stay there overnight.

I was a bit shocked. Earlier when we arrived she said she loved the safari tents and we had plans to sit around the fire and have a nice BBQ dinner.

I asked her why and she said she didn't feel comfortable. I assured her no one would try messing with us around the campsites and it was probably just some stupid teenagers and they wouldn't be a nuisance up near the campgrounds and lodge (stupid teenagers within a year of this burnt the lodge to the ground).

She told me she didn't think it was teenagers. I asked her why she thought that and she said that when her boy had slipped in the water and was crying she said she thought she saw something. She said it was big and brown and when her eyes first scanned past it she thought it was just a part of the forest, like a log or a rock, but as she moved her eyes past it again, it moved. This thing she said was bigger than me and hairy, but also covered in moss and grandfathers beard and leaves so it blended in. She said she only saw it for a moment.

She brushed it off as just a trick of the mind, she said she knew it wasn't but she was trying to convince herself as we walked.

I asked her why she didn't say anything and she told me she didn't want to scare the kids. Then went on to say that after the rock thing she was even more freaked out.

I didn't know what to think and I have to admit I acted a bit pouty with her, which she was not impressed by.

After we had showered and dressed she told the kids that we were going home tonight. They seemed disappointed, but didn't put up too much of a fuss. The afternoon had rattled them.

It was a quiet drive home and the kids were asleep by the time we reached the bottom of the mountain.

I dropped them home and apologized to Belinda for the trip not working out that great.

She was in brighter spirits now we were off the mountain and thanked me so much for the day and for planning such a special weekend for her and the kids.

We ended up seeing each other more and eventually moved in with each other. We got married this January.

Now after some time has passed, my wife and I have talked this over.

We have three theories.

1/ It was some pesky teenagers hiding off the trail.

2/ That friendly old couple wasn't as friendly as they seemed.

3/ There's something weird and big up in those mountains and it likes to throw rocks at hikers.

My wife thinks it's option three, I'm heading closer toward option two.

I did some research and told her that if it was a bigfoot creature she would have smelt it and that the smelliest thing out there was her feet.

In conclusion, we usually choose the beach over bushwalks now regardless of whether it was people or unknown cryptids, it kind of spoiled the fun of taking my family out for hikes in one of my favorite places in the world.

I might go back one day, probably just by myself. I have done those hikes countless times before with no issues, but you best believe I'm going to be keeping a very good lookout for big hairy mountain men.

On September 11th, 2018, an ordinary drive along US 23 near Whitmore Lake, Michigan, evolved into one of the most bewildering experiences of my life. My journey took an inexplicable turn as I inexplicably lost all sense of time and found myself 40 miles past my intended exit, on the Zilwaukee Bridge. But the truly extraordinary part of this encounter began with the realization that I had somehow gained new, almost psychic abilities, and hazy memories of an otherworldly encounter.

I underwent a hypnosis regression session to uncover the details of what happened during my missing time. The memories that resurfaced were vivid and filled with advanced technology that seemed beyond the realm of human invention.

Aboard the alien craft, I was introduced to a variety of beings. There were the humanoid figures, closely resembling humans in appearance, exuding a calm authority. Alongside them were smaller entities, the 3-foot tall grays, with large, penetrating black eyes that seemed to see right through me. These beings moved with purpose and efficiency, their interactions suggesting a structured hierarchy.

The neural interface technology they employed was perhaps the most striking. This device was like a mesh of fine wires that could be draped over my head. Once activated, it seemed to sync with my brainwaves, creating a direct pathway to my thoughts. It could extract memories and emotions, manipulate them, and even implant new ones. This interaction was deeply invasive yet executed with such precision that it felt almost natural, blurring the lines between my thoughts and the artificial insertions.

Their surgical tools were equally impressive. These instruments operated at a microscopic level, capable of making incisions and alterations without leaving a single physical mark. The precision was astounding, as if each molecular structure was known and accounted for. This technology allowed them to perform complex medical examinations and procedures that were completely pain-free and left no trace on the physical body afterward.

Additionally, I witnessed a form of bio-energetic suspension technology. This device enveloped individuals in a soft, glowing energy field that seemed to hold them in a state of suspended animation. Within this field, time and biological functions slowed dramatically, allowing the beings to conduct lengthy procedures without concern for aging or decay.

The purpose behind these advanced technologies remains a mystery, though it seems tied to both research and perhaps some form of cosmic stewardship. The combination of human-like discretion and the emotionless efficiency of the grays suggested a complex agenda, one that straddles ethical lines by human standards.

Reflecting on these encounters, I am left with both awe and trepidation. The technological marvels I witnessed hint at a civilization far beyond our current understanding, capable of both great wonders and profound manipulations. The question of their true intentions—whether benevolent, indifferent, or malevolent—continues to haunt me, as does the transformation I've undergone. This experience has irrevocably altered my perception of our place in the cosmos, revealing possibilities—and dangers—far exceeding anything previously imaginable.

So this happened to my friend, not me in 2007. But shes here next to me recounting her story and I am typing it out and posting it for her because she doesn’t have reddit. Sorry it’s long, but I want to share as many details as possible to hear your thoughts about it. We’re adults now, and this happened to her when she was 16. To this day she describes what she saw in the exact same as she had right after it happened, and can still clearly picture it. So here goes:

She was walking home from her friend’s house at night. This is a town in Southern Oregon (in case that’s important?). She doesn’t remember the exact time but says it was definitely after midnight and it was dark and no one else was out. (She says she was completely sober, and not sleep deprived.) So shes on her way home and just about 2 blocks from her house. She was walking on the sidewalk along the main street and was crossing between 5th and 6th street, (her house is on 7th.) Across the street is a Safeway and a cemetery. Right then she noticed something about 50 feet ahead of her crossing the street from the cemetery side to the side she was on. This is how she describes it:

There were two creatures things walking on their hind legs, side by side. One was slightly shorter than the other, but they were both really tall, at least 7ft. They were hunched over, lanky, and extremely skinny. She says her immediate first thought was they looked almost like deer walking on their hind legs, but they didn’t have any fur. It was more like a dark grayish skin. They held their arms and wrists kind of like how a t-rex would, but their arms and hands were very long, almost as long as their legs. When I asked, She said she didn’t see any tails. I asked her if they had hooves and she says she thinks so, but can’t remember that part for certain. Everything was quiet and she didn’t hear them making any sounds on the pavement as they walked. I asked her if they had antlers or deer like shaped faces (me thinking that maybe it actually was just hairless deer walking on their hind legs for some reason). She said no antlers, and their heads were not shaped like a deers… or any animal… but more like a persons. She describes their faces as looking human, with human features, but something was just slightly “off”.

She had frozen where she was as soon as she saw them. Everything was quiet and there were no cars driving by or anyone else around… which is normal at night in our small town. She says she stood there kind of in shock. She watched as the two creatures slowly walked side by side, silently, from across the street and over to the side of the street she was on. She says they didn’t seem to see her at all, or if they did notice her, they didn’t act at all like they did. She says they acted as if they were simply a couple going on a casual night stroll together. She doesn’t remember feeling any negative energy or vibes, she just felt fear because she was pretty damn scared. As soon as they finished crossing the street they continued strait down 6th street, and she couldn’t see them after they passed the first house and kept walking down. At that point she said she snapped out of the shock and started running the one more block towards 6th street to see where they were going. Once there she turned down 6th street to follow them, but they were completely gone. She doesn’t know where they could have possibly gone that fast considering they we’re just walking (and not walking fast- but like i said- almost as if the two of them were just out on a casual night stroll). As soon as she realized they had somehow disappeared out of nowhere, she started running as fast as she could the one more block to her house on 7th street. She told her mom and sister the next morning.

She says these creatures were like nothing she has ever seen or heard of before. The closest thing she can compare it to is the ware-wolf that professor lupin changes into in the harry potter movies- hairless, super lanky and hunched over strangely, except these ones had more human like heads/faces than a wolf.

Shes only ever told her family and a few friends, me being one of them. Oh and also she has no history of any mental illnesses. But whenever i ask her about it she describes it the exact same way and is still pretty shook up when she thinks about it. Nothing like that has happened to her before then or since then.

Anyone know what this could be? Ive heard about “Notdeers” on reddit, but I’m not sure that really fits because i think those are more animal like shaped and usually on all fours. If you guys have any questions I will ask her and get back to you! Any input would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.

Hello! This happened when I was about 17 yrs old. (24F) in Northern Louisiana, USA. Even though it’s been a while, lately I keep thinking about it like I literally can’t sleep because I just keep wondering if it really happened and weirdly I also have been wondering how he’s doing.

For extra context, I did not do any drugs this night, I’d been to dinner and movie with a friend and we didn’t drink either. I know I was 17- but disclaimer. Seriously. Stone cold sober.

STORY STARTS HERE:

I met up with an old friend for dinner. It was a Saturday early evening. We decided to go to a movie downtown. (Downtown was usually not like BUSY but on Saturdays you expect a bit more people than there were) The movie theatre is across from a public building with a bathroom that’s extra nice so we decided to go there first. It has loft apartments there, and I clocked a guy in the lobby just looking straight down at his phone. I clocked him bc he’s a man and we are young girls. His build was probably about 5ft 10in if I had to guess and he has a super regular body like not fat or skinny just super average guy. I couldn’t really see his face but I noticed him when we walked into the lobby from the bathroom and he walked at a don’t-hold-the-door distance away from us and also went to the movies.

So me and my friend sit at the top middle seats for the movie. About 5 rows down was an older couple. And literally the rest of the room was just empty seats. He then comes in, still staring at his phone like it was so weird you couldn’t like fully make out his face, even though his phone was bright. But ofc I wasn’t trying to stare at this person. Just wanted to not get kidnapped. He seemed close to our age (19-22ish) but you never know.

So he comes and sits on our row, at the very far left end. Arguably a pretty terrible spot choice with so many options. Proceeds to stare at his phone, brightness on full, for the entire length of the movie. I was a little nosy at this point, sue me, but I looked over at him throughout the film just glancing to see like what was so important on his phone bc it was bright and idk this situation was weird.

It was a bright white screen, and he wasn’t clicking or playing or doing anything but just holding his phone and like idk that’s just actually it.

So movie ends- we go to leave- I’m holding the door for the older couple, he’s behind them so I decided to stay holding the door. As he gets closer he looks up at me so I smiled at him and his face looked regular at first. Pretty attractive actually. But when he smiled. His smile changed very quickly into like his whole face. Like it was such a huge smile it did not feel real at all. Like not a creepy movie way or someone with a big mouth. But like not human. And his eyes flashed like I don’t know but they were just different. I guess my face looked immediately shocked (I feel so bad) bc then his eyes went back to normal and he looked normal but his facial expression was like he was embarrassed or caught and he looked back down at his phone and continues to walk past me through the door.

So I followed him as he walked around me and the door. Meaning I like did a 270 kinda turn around to watch him walk away and by the time I’d spun around he was actually literally GONE.

LIKE I’m saying he was very close to me walking by and I spun while he was walking and also we were in a fairly quiet downtown. Even if this man started running away, there was no alley to run down, and I just would’ve seen him running or walking. I even walked out a ways to see if he hid behind a parked car (which there was like literally 2)

THERES ACTUALLY MORE. I know this is a lot* so part two is in the comments if anyone is interested. I mainly wanted to ask about this part tho. Also if anyone wanted to know. He was dressed in a white t shirt, denim jeans, denim jacket, and had medium brown hair. His skin was like a white guy, not super pale just like medium like regular white guy skin tone idk

Edit: changed “about” to the correct word, “a lot”

Edit 2: I went back and searched the movie that we were watching’s release date. So a little update is that this all took place in late November of 2018

According to analyzes carried out by renowned expert in crime scene reconstruction, Scott Roder, the footage indeed shows a very tall entity. The main witness gave an interview saying he was still very traumatized by what happened.

​

On the night of April 30, 2023, at around 11:50 pm, a family in Las Vegas despaired after witnessing a mysterious object falling from the skies. Angel Kenmore, along with his brother and father, were working on a car when they spotted this unusual aerial activity.
The bright object that emerged from the night sky apparently landed nearby, causing a considerable impact. Angel described to police that they saw something falling from the sky with lights, followed by a huge impact and a feeling of energy all around.
In a later online video, Angel described this energy as a "shock wave", mentioning that his vision became blurred and he could only see the backyard. He also reported hearing thousands of footsteps around him, which disappeared seconds later.
The situation became even more surreal when Angel informed the police about the presence of strange figures in the place. He described two figures approximately 2.5 meters tall, with large eyes, watching them. Angel emphasized that it wasn't a joke and that they were terrified by the situation.
The call center operator attempted to clarify the details, initially confusing the number of individuals before confirming that there were two beings in the witness's backyard. Angel described the beings as non-human, with large eyes, a large mouth and glowing eyes, appearing alien-like.
Police were sent to investigate immediately. Upon arriving at the location, camera footage clearly captured a bright object in the sky, moving quickly away, partially corroborating the family's report.

It was July of 2021 when we were taking our umpteenth girls trip to Galveston. Two up front and two in the back seats of a Hummer. We're talking and listening to music when I noticed something flying toward us alongside Highway 45, far in the distance. As we traveled, we were all trying to determine exactly what it was we were seeing. It was draped in black and literally seemed to be a faceless upright human, flying in a straight line, yet without arms or any sort of propulsion. We estimated we were able to watch it for about two miles as the gap closed between us. It was fairly high, but we all saw that it appeared to be wearing a flowing type of fabric. This thing was the subject of discussion for days afterward. To this day, we still wonder what we saw, and agree there was no way it behaved like a kite or a jet pack - plus, the area is mostly ranch lands. Has anyone else seen something like this?

My first encounter with them occurred in Ciudad de México, where I'm from, around el Día de Muertos (Day of the Death) of 2020, I was in my shared room with my sister, we had the light off bc it was already late at night (maybe past 12 am) and we were about to sleep, my sister was in the top bunk bed watching her phone.

In some point I change my position to lay on my side, while I was watching my phone, that's when I feel how someone crawls up to my bed and big spoon cuddles with me. They were about my size and weight (14nb, now I'm 18) so I thought it was my sister (18f) who's very thin and slightly taller than me.

When I was about to ask her what she was doing (as she never cuddles with me, and even less without asking first) when I notice her phone light reflecting in the ceiling.

I got so damn scared, I gasped very loudly, got up and turned on the lights in less than a second.

I look back at my bed in terror... nothing.

My sister, annoyed and confused asks wtf just happened, she told me that at first she thought it was me sleepwalking (as it had occurred that I opened doors or ranted out while sleeping not too long ago), when I explained to her what just happened she looks horrified. I didn't turned down the lights for, like, another hour. I was terrified at the thought of it happening again.

The next day I told my mom and stepfather about this, my stepfather suggests that maybe it was my deceased father who came to visit for the Día de Muertos. I found that theory heartwarming and stopped thinking about it.

Then, for the next year, I started to feel like someone was watching me. They tapped my shoulder, tickled my feet, touched my back. This happened more when I was doing suffed I like, like drawing or listening to my favorite music.

I got to see them a few times, they were pitch black with big white flashlight-like and very curious eyes, with long legs and arms that could touch the floor bc it was always hunched over, they were always hunched over so they always looked about 1.50 m, but I think they were about 2 m tall.

Then I moved to a school area, there's always a lot of people, from all age ranges (the most important reason for the gathering of people being a college, which brings together a lot of students and professors and residents take the opportunity to have their businesses, it's always very lively). I suppose that's why they stopped following me, there's just too many people.

(I added a drawing I did some time ago of said creature :D)

This happened awhile ago so the details might be blurry When I was a teenager living in Arizona, USA, about 2013, I was walking down a dirt road with a friend. There wasn't much light except for the lantern I was holding and the streetlight in the distance. As we were walking back to the house I saw a silhouette of this creature, about 3 feet tall and very thin, walking across the road on 2 legs, about 20 feet away from us infront of the streetlight. We both stopped and he said "you saw that too right?" Originally we thought it was the shadow from the lantern but retracing our steps we wernt able to replicate it. We checked out the area where we saw it walk, there was a drainage pipe in the direction it was walking. To this day I still have no idea what that was

Back when I was 5 or 6 back in the mid 80s, we lived in Rutland County, Vermont. There was a marshy area behind our house, separated by a small wooded area. I remember almost every night for about a couple of weeks, waking up to strange lights in the wooded area behind the house. My room was on the second floor of the house, facing the rear towards the wooded area and I could just see.the edge of the marshy area through the trees during the day. My parent's room was directly across the hall, facing the front of the house.

I remember going into my parents room and telling them about the lights, but my mom would always send me back to bed without checking. I got so scared that I'd hide under my bed when the lights were happening. Around this same time I started seeing small, bipedal creatures that stood about 2.5 feet tall with large, black eyes coming out of the woods and trying to get into the house.

When I told my parents about them, they would say that they were just bad dreams and not to worry. Almost every night, after seeing the lights, they'd come out of the marshy area / wooded area, try to get into the house and I'd hide under the bed, too scared to do anything else.

Eventually, the lights stopped and they stopped coming out of the woods. My parents still think I was having recurring nightmares.

Santiago Creek wash, Orange, CA: This is a true story and it happened about 15 years ago. I used to spend a lot of time in Lake Tahoe and returned home to Santa Ana after several months. The morning after I returned I walked from our home in Park Santiago to coffee in Old Town Orange. While I crossed over a bridge on Grand Avenue that spanned a wash which had a bike path and steep side embankments, I looked down to the left and I saw a dark haired man walking around agitated below by the bike trail. He was clawing at his chest and white shirt and seemed completely disoriented. He was facing me, to his left was the two-story brick wall beneath a gas station and to his right was the bike trail and deep rocky wash. As I stood and watched him I got my phone out to call the police in case he started taking his shirt off (I'd run across perves on the bike path in the past). Then suddenly he bent down and picked up a red messenger bag. I noticed there was something white like a sheet at his feet. As I thought it odd that I hadn't noticed it before, it all disappeared right in front of my eyes. There was nowhere he could have gone as the area was a small land patch with only a tree and the tall wall- I thought "huh", and then I just continued my walk. My husband picked me up at Starbucks to drive me home. As we back drove over the wash I I told him what happened. He looked at me and said "You saw a ghost, someone was stabbed to death down there while you were gone".

I just stumbled upon this sub Reddit and it reminded me of an encounter I had in Death Valley in 2017. I wanted to put it out there to see if anyone else has experienced anything like it…

So, I was visiting the States for work (I’m from the UK) and had four days to burn before my flight home. I was in Denver and decided to hire a motorcycle and ride to LA, where my return flight was from.

I had an incredible ride seeing some amazing things as I sped through Utah and into Nevada and I reached Vegas with two days remaining. I decided I wanted to ride through Death Valley and up to Yosemite before blasting down California to LA. By the time I got to Death Valley it was getting dark and , as I progressed through the national park it became pitch black with me being pretty much the only person on the road. The only things I could see what the illumination of my bike’s headlights lighting up the road ahead and about 3m either side of the tarmac.

I hit a long straight and started looking around. Something felt off. Then I noticed a large shape to the side of the road ahead. ‘That’s a big cactus’ I thought to myself. I would put it at about 7ft tall. As I got closer I could see that it had humanoid features, like a very obvious outline of something with a head, shoulders, legs…

I was fixated on it as I rode and the closer I got, the weirder things felt. Then, as my bike’s headlights lit it up, I could see it was a humanoid figure and, as I rode past it it turned its body to follow me.

It was nearly 50C and I had been sweating all day, but in the moment I was overcome with freezing cold and shivers. I still get the shivers when I think about it now. I twisted the throttle and got the hell out of there, repeating ‘fuck’ to myself in my helmet.

It was a very spooky and strange encounter. Anyone else seen or heard of similar encounters in Death Valley and able to shed any light on what I saw?

I was a third shifter in Wisconsin US around 2014, who lived about 20 minutes from my workplace in the country. As I was pulling up into the section of country back road that immediately led into the city, I saw, probably the strangest sight I have ever seen in my life, and I can NOT explain it.

It was twilight almost evening, and so the trees were all black against the dark blue sky, right? And I simply happened to glance up at the top of one of the trees as I was driving; and what I originally thought was the top of the tree flew up into the air at lightning speed and disappeared. It looked like a humanoid thing with wings, but it was so fast I could barely make out anything else. But it definitely had legs and wings.

It just lifted up. The figure with wings that I thought was the top of the tree just flew up and disappeared. Lightning fast. I’ve never seen anything fly that fast-it was like a blink.

I remember stopping my car outside of my workplace and just sitting there and thinking about what I just saw and wondering if I was crazy or if I imagined it. I decided not to tell my coworkers or anybody ever except until now because it’s been 10 years.

Excuse my English, I'm not from the United States.

It was the third day of February , 2012, in the Brazilian state of Rio Grande, it happened several years ago.

My sisters, my mother, and me went to have some fun in some beach very far from our home, our mother had rented the house of a friend for a few days which we used while going to and coming back from the beach.

It was one of those very dirty beaches where trash was dumped all around and not that many people were going to it, but for us it was very fun, I even remember joking to my sister that there are probably sharks in this beach.

It was pretty hot too, and I have the skin of a vampire, so after the first day on the beach, I was looking like Mr. Crabs and I had to stay in that house while they went to have fun, which for me it was ok, I’m kinda introverted anyway…

One day, my mother and my sisters except for the youngest one, all had to go to some specific place, one went to color their nails, the other went to have a message, two decided to back to the beach and my mom was going to go to a club with her friends because she was a boomer.

My young sis went to sleep and basically, it was just me in this two floor house which was way bigger than the home I was raised in, the place was kinda creepy and it did not help that the moon that day was full.

So I was a young and stupid child who was scared to hell by the creepy night and also full of energy, so I jumped over the fence of our house by climbing over it, my thoughts at the time were stupid, I was going to look for my mom.

I did that without thinking about stuff like the possibility of me getting kidnapped or killed by some robbed, this was brazil after all, street crime is high as hell here.

Anyway, I walked a little bit around the town but then realized I was lost, I was utterly overwhelmed by the samey modern buildings and I had no idea of where I was, I also had no idea of where my mom was, I knew where she went but I did not know where that was.

After the fear of being lost fully took over, I decided to give up and go back to the house but I did to know where the house was so I walked around, there were very few people at night and I was just too anxiety filled to ask any who I saw for directions.

Eventually the road mixed with this path of dirt, it sorta looked like the path in front of the house, so I thought I was in the right direction, since I took another path after getting out of the house but there were several others which this path could lead to.

So I walked and I found a beach, not the beach where I went with my sisters but a beach, but little me did not know that so I ran into the beach because I thought that I could find two of my sisters there and they could bring me back home.

However, they were not on the beach but something else was…

This beach had those rocks leading up to outside the water, you know those spiked rocks that normally sink ships, yeah those ones, and one of they was all the way into the sand, I kept seeing something moving beside it from the corner of my vision, so I just looked at the rock.

Then something came out from beside the rock, this thing, it was seemed to be the size of an adult guy for me, it stood straight, it had legs and feet, but it wasn’t human and the biggest proof was the left arm.

You know centipedes, those black things with a thousand legs, yeah, his left arm was like it, the thing extended to the ground and it moved like it had a life of its own, I could see all the little legs moving.

The whole body was weird, not just the centipede arm, you know that green guy from Nightmare before Christmas? This man was kinda like that but made of skin, and with an egg shaped head.

I don’t know what the ‘man’ did after he saw me because after seeing him in the clear moonlight with the ocean back drop, my child self was absolutely terrified and I just straight up bolted, I ran away as far as I could from that beach, without looking back.

Eventually, while running in the path of dirt, one of my sisters found me; it looks like they were looking for me for a while, once we got to the house, I got scolded to hell by my mother who was angry as a devil with me for running away, she thought I would get kidnapped or something.

I did tell this story to my sisters, obviously they found it to be unbelievable, in fact, the only one that believes in it is the youngest but she also believes in all that witch-craft shit, so I guess her belief is already wonky.

To be clear with you guys, I don’t believe in super-natural shit like Werewolves, Big-foot, greys, and all that crap, I think all of it is conspiracy theory and stupid beliefs based on zero proof, but to this day I believe that man-thing to be real.

The memory still is very vivid in my mind.

So, this is a story my mother has told me. These sightings came from Michigan, northwest of Flint, south of Saginaw. The story goes that my parents were driving at night on all Hallows Eve about 1976-1979 when suddenly a large slender/lanky feline animal crossed the street making them slam on the breaks, when this thing turned its head to look at them my parents were horrified to see that it had a human face. This happened the following year, same road and same day (all hallows eve).

I don't have much more details, my mother was raised in a family from north Michigan where strange things would happen in the forest but no one would talk about it. They believed if you didn't give any attention to the creature it could not gain power, or something like that. So anytime she would start to bring this up my father, or another family member would shut her down.

I am the curious type, I like to have facts and knowledge. So if anyone has heard of anything like this before either in Native American mythology or knows of things happening in that area please let me know. The only thing I have found in my own research is a skinwalker.

Edit: so after reading through all the comments I have found 2 possibilities of what this could be: a wampus cat or a Sidhe cat. Wampus would be more likely because it’s included in folklore in this area. However, the physical description that was given me when I asked for more details reminds me a lot of the sidhe/sith cat found in Celtic/Scottish mythology and folklore. It’s said that it’s a witch that can transform into a cat 9 times. If they transform into a cat for the ninth time they remain in cat form. This is possibly where cats having nine lives come from.

Thanks very much for all the information. I myself don’t really believe in a lot of this, however, there must be some unknown creatures that made people create these stories.

one night, in 2013 , i went over to my cousins house when i was probably about 13/14. this was in California. we were the same age, and she had just moved in w her step siblings and step dad with her mom. they were in a transition moving period and her room was basically in the living room, the only thing separating it was a curtain. (it was weird but not permanent lol) me, her (sav), and our other cousin (trinity) were all at the kitchen table talking about random stories. the living room & kitchen were all open. savs room was about 10 ft away from where we were.

my cousin sav at that time period was going through it really bad mentally. she kept having really bad sleep paralysis of these gray looking people with greasy black hair, hugging her in her sleep and staring at her. i kept getting the feeling she had something attached to her. i have always been really spiritual along with most of the women in my family. when i would bring it up to her, she’d get mad at me and tell me to drop it so i did. but anyways, back to this night. it was probably about 7 pm we had just ate some pizza.

me and trinity were talking about whatever, and all of the sudden all the lights in the house shut off for probably one second and went back on. we screamed in unison. no clue why, but i felt extremely compelled to look over to where my cousin savs room/curtain was. and i saw this 5’10 figure. keep in mind, it’s dark out but not pitch black and we had all the lights on where we were. we could see clear as day. i just remember the dead silence. i see this man and he seemed to have old 1800s/1900s brownish attire. he had a top hat on, but his skin was just gray. it looked like someone made a clay figure with real clay. it had human features but i couldn’t make out what i was looking at. i just had a pit in my stomach. like this thing wanted me to know it did not want me there. i was in awe, staring at it for probably five/10 seconds in silence. all it did was stand there. but all i could feel was disgust, anger, fear, basically any negative human emotion. it washed over me. after i snapped back to look at my cousins, they were both pale and in shock too. i asked them if they saw what i just did, and they did. to this day they still fucking remember it so i know i’m not crazy.

we all described the same thing, and i wanted to gtfo there. i damn near started crying because i felt so uncomfortable and weirded out and called my mom to pick me up, but she would be about an hour or 2 to get me as she was with friends and we ended up watching movies and i fell asleep. i just remember right before how scared i was i’d see it again. i never did. years later i met my bf who’s parents described seeing a clay textured skin/ humanoid. all gray skin. and it was the same icky feeling. has anyone else experienced seeing something like this? this was my most vivid paranormal experience and seriously shook me and when i think about it i still can not believe we all saw the same thing lol. hand to god, this happened. wtf was it. i saw it, my cousin had sleep paralysis dreams with the same gray skinned people. faces molded like clay but not quite perfect. my bfs family saw it. so strange.

Hi there everyone! I want to share something profound that happened to me when I was a teenager in 2008. First and foremost I'm on mobile so sorry for any formatting issues. Secondly I'm posting to multiple subs so sorry if this is a repost for you.

I grew up in a haunted house in a town near Seattle. The houses of my suburb were surrounded by evergreens and large rhododendrons which made each home seem private and secretive. Another day I'll make a post for my other experiences. Spooky stuff happened to me all the time but never to any of my family members. I saw shadow people, Astral projected (but cannot any more sadly), had an "imaginary friend" who manifested to me as real as another person. I also had a terrifying year where a Demon tormented me. At times my friends would see the phenomenon as well.

When I was a Kindergartener (5-6 in the States) I met my best friend Lenore. We became friends till the end. Thick as thieves we were each other's rocks until the age of 16. Lenore suffered from severe depression and suicidal thoughts despite being a straight A student, artistically and musically talented, and popular. Not to mention she was absolutely gorgeous. Her family was comfortable with multiple vacations per year, some of which I was invited to. It just really goes to show that mental illness can strike anyone from any background.

She had witnessed some of the spooky BS that went down at my house as she was there frequently. My mom was closer to her than her own. My home was a short walk away from our high school and tucked away in a quiet cul-de-sac. Therefore it was a frequent hang out spot for my friends. Especially since my mom was mellow and welcoming.

One day in June I was walking to my house with Lenore after school got out around 2pm. The weather was sunny, warm, and clear. Quiet, beautiful, and unassuming. As we walked side by side down a long straight street Lenore suddenly stopped in her tracks. I looked over at her. Her face was blanched white, eyes wide open and her mouth agape in an "O" shape. She was staring in shock down the street.

I followed her gaze to look at the crossroads about a half block away. At a light pole stood a peculiar figure. Dressed in a black tuxedo, black top hat, cane and cape was a tall man. When my eyes found him he flourished his cape, tipped his hat, bowed, and then disappeared as if he had winked out of existence. Lenore looked at me flabbergasted. We both agreed we had seen the figure.

The next three nights I dreamt of The Gentleman. He appeared to me in the darkness next to a gondola. I was told that he would take me to the Other Side if I would just pay the price. Each night I pleaded with him saying I needed to live. He was never pushy. He never scared me. He was calm, quiet, and seemed understanding. He just said he would offer his services if I ever needed them after telling him no.

On the fourth day Lenore ended her life. I never dreamt of The Gentleman again. I wonder if he visited her the same way he came to me? Was his offer too much to handle for someone so deeply sad and scarred? Has anyone else seen him?

I was severely damaged by Lenore's untimely death. It took me years to claw my way out of the pit of despair it brought me. Please reach out if you are hurting to the point of wanting to end it all. Life is hard. Everyone is struggling. You are loved and important. Thank you for listening to my experience.

With advancement in science and modernization, Not many people believe in the paranormal (compared to people 100/200 years ago), often dismissing paranormal things as fiction and impossible.

What incident or Things deviated your perspective from a normal mundane world view and opened you up to the world of paranormal?

Location is ohio in USA A few years ago a memory that I had I guess blocked out came back....... starting prob around the age of four to six (1985/ 1987) ...... I remember begging and pleading with my mom to stay awake until I fell asleep. I can remember yelling mom over and over at least twenty times a night to make sure she didn't fall asleep before me. It didn't matter tho as soon as I'd let myslef slip away I'd wake up in a bright,smooth white room. I was always cold in that room. There's was a little observation window on one of the walls and that's where I'd see her........ I never got the feeling she would hurt me.. she was beautiful, she looked just just a tall Grey but she had blue eyes instead of the black they usually do., anyways. I can remember her telling me in my mind that I could do it. That I was built to do these tasks and that it would start coming easier for me if I'd just learn to focus. I couldn't focus tho! I was terrified bc the walls in this white room would start getting smaller and smaller until I'd think this is it..... this time it's gonna squish me, but I'd wake up in bed. This happened for three to four!!! As soon as i remembered a few years ago its like a wall to a Damm finally busted open and I could finally breathe. I asked my mom if I ever struggled with nightmares as a child and she told me that Every night, I'd yell and yell to make sure she wasn't asleep before me. I was stunned bc she can at least acknowledge that something had me terrified even tho she didn't know what...... . I've always felt just a family, a deep family love from her when I think back to those memories. I've always been a little off ive always heard my name being whispered, I've seen my uncle plain as day sitting beside me the day after he died in a car wreck......sorry this is more like a book than a few lines but has anyone ever experienced anything like this? I'm sure they were trying to teach me......something
