One day I was having a sleepover at a friend's house having a bbq/pool party, and we were admiring the scenery of the surrounding area because it was particularly beautiful that day. And me and my buddy (she said that she doesn't want me to use her real name so I'll call her "addi") were getting out of the pool and we saw a tall skinny dark green creature that looked like it had moss and flowers on it, run by, scaring us shitless. That was all we saw of it that night but for the next few days we heard clicking and a weird screech every few hours, but it stopped at night, and it rained for the next few days.

The weekend of 10/11/24 my friends and I set out for a camping trip in Lake Kegonsa State Park located in Stoughton , WI. While finishing up some geocaching on a hiking trail near the outhouses, we encountered something/someone strange. You can enter the trail after crossing the path of another trail that enters the forest. The trail we were on circled a prairie that laid in the middle of the trail and was surrounded by forest.

The sun was low in the sky, it had to have been roughly 6pm. The sun was just above the tree line as we started our hike. As we were at our last geocache of the night, the sun had just gone behind the tree line and it was beginning to get dark. But we could still see without the assistance of flashlights.

The forest went silent, no more sounds of the bugs around us or birds that have been active all day. It approached us with a whistle, a bone chilling whistle. Our entire group went silent and no one said a word, until we heard a second whistle. This second whistle was more broken up than the first, and in the slightly tipsy state I was in, I thought it had to be a human whistle as it was not perfect. To that I responded with a pretty stern “Hello” hoping for an explanation as to why our group got whistled at twice. “I thought you were dogs” a voice said as it rounded the trail towards up.

As he passed our group, I noticed I could not make a face out on this person, but chalked it up to nerves and being distracted. As a group we agreed while it was a strange encounter, we should not panic but took it as a sign to get off the trail.

This is where it gets even more weird.

All 4 of us in the group kept our eyes peeled for anything as we made out way back to the car. When suddenly, this creature (calling it a creature as it surely was not human) suddenly appeared on the edge of the trail closest to the woods. Staring blankly to the field in front of it, that would have been to our right. And in the flattest, driest tone it said “who’s that guy”. Everyone in our group kept walking as I answered “the same guy from earlier?” As I assumed it was talking about my boyfriend who was behind the group. We had never been so silent on the walk back to the car. Checking behind our shoulders and our surroundings constantly.

We made it back to our campsite where we decided due to the time of the day, it would be best to wait to pack up until morning.

While we were debriefing our experience, I told my friends how in neither encounter I could not make out a face.

Being a female hiker, I make a point to gather some facial features of anyone I cross on the trail as a just incase.

No one in our group could identify a face. And in our own ways we described how the face on this thing was not a human face. It seemed to almost have a blurred effect over what should have been a human face. All of us seen the same thing, you could tell where eyes, nose and mouth should have been. But there was none on this creature.

Being that it whistled and was unidentifiable, we are convinced to have encountered a skinwalker. They just are not relevant in that area of Wisconsin.

It was a long night at the campsite with the impending feeling of being watched. I’m spiritually inclined and feel I took the necessary steps of protecting our campsite for a secured nights sleep. But I have had strange encounter since. I’m willing to explain the encounters had since that night if asked.

And ideas?

Hey guys, a few weeks ago (mid/late September or early October) I woke up because my foot felt really weird and I saw something at the foot of my bed bent over as it held my big toe. I fell asleep right after but it freaked me out really bad, no one was in my room and it was about 4:00am or so. It looked like a michelin man but about 5’5-5’7 and had a dome shaped helmet with tubes in the back that led to the back of its suit. I’m not sure if I’ve posted under the right flare but this really had me upset for a while and I haven’t seen it again or felt anything since I’ve been praying (I’m a Christian) and rebuking the devil and anything that’s not made in the lord’s image. It’s like 12:12pm rn but I can draw what I saw to the best of my ability and post it tomorrow if anyone is interested. Bonus, about 5 years ago, my dad and I were driving down a gravel road to pick my big brother up from work and as we turned a corner I saw what looked like a child sized (2-3 foot tall) stick bug run behind a fire hydrant and haven’t seen anything since. I’ve got a few more stories too if anyone is interested. (This happened this year (2024 in Ontario Canada)

Back with another set of cases from the Nordic countries. This time it will be a little different and we will have 5 stories. Iceland is added this time with an intresting case. It is not often we see reports from this remote Island in the North Atlantic. But it seems to be UFO and ET activity there as well. Though a story from Norway is first on the list...

An airplane not of this world.

Holsenøy outside Bergen, Norwegian west coast, July 1965.

A 52 year old woman from Bergen had a summer cabin on an island just north of the city. She had vacation and it was around 2 PM that day. The weather was clear and sunny and it was 25 degrees (77 degrees F) in the air. It was a very nice and warm summer day and the woman was sitting inside the cabin, because it was shade there, and she was reading a weekly magazine. Then she glanced out the window and saw a bright light over the neighbor's flagpole. The light was bright like a yellow sun and the distance was around meters (90 feet). The height of the object above the ground was then approximately 15 meters (45 feet). The woman saw that the light was now heading towards her and she could see the outlines better. She thought it looked like a small propeller plane, but without a propeller. It also had no tail fin or identity markings. As it came closer, she could see the pilot clearly now. He looked like a slender boy, had a large head in relation to his body and large, dark eyes. On his big head he had some sort of helmet and his hands rested on what looked like a steering wheel. The pilot sat under a Plexiglass hood (or so it looked like). The woman thought she saw that the pilot's skin appeared pale, but the sharp light yellowed the whole man and the object. She estimated the length of the craft to be 3 – 4 meters (9 – 12 feet), and it had a black nose and dark bottom.

The woman saw a strange airplane hovering outside her window, with a strange being inside. (source: sketch made by the witness)

The object stood still and hovered outside the woman's window at a height of 3 meters (9 feet) for just a few seconds, while the pilot stared at her with a curious look. Throughout the unusual encounter, the woman felt paralyzed. But suddenly she came to her senses and slammed her clenched hand on the table and exclaimed: "Oh, No!". Then the pilot jerked and the strange “airplane” began to move again. The woman then ran out into the garden to take a closer look at the object. But by then the craft was already a bit up in the air again and at the height of a nearby mountain peak and then it swung out over the water towards Håvøysund. After that it accelerated upwards and then rose vertically, until it disappeared out of sight in the sky. During the entire time as the “airplane” took off and rose towards the sky, a whining sound was heard. After the encounter with the craft, the woman experienced a numb feeling throughout her body, as well as flickering in her eyes which she thought was due to her looking into the bright light.

The woman has always been critical of UFO:s and almost did not want to believe what she saw. She also didn't tell anyone what she had been through, because she didn't want to risk people thinking she was weird or stupid. It would be until 1973 before she told her son about her experience. He persuaded her to report her sighting to UFO-Norway. The son believed what she told him and did not think that his own mother was hallucinating. And he also implied that she had nothing to gain by lying about this.

The alien factory ”worker”.

Forsheda, southern Sweden, January 28 1979.

Lars Eriksson (not his real name) worked as a repairman at Forsheda rubber factory, and he was responsible for the maintenance of heating boilers and fans in the buildings. This Sunday he had started work at 5:15 PM, and would work his shift for three hours. He was almost the only one in the factory area this Sunday evening. Until about 6 PM everything was calm and as usual, but then suddenly the steam boiler stopped for an unknown reason. Lars was very surprised and he went and checked all the valves. There was nothing wrong with these as far as he could see. Then he went to the electrical cabinet and looked, and suddenly the heat boiler also stopped.

Eriksson made many attempts to start the boilers, but nothing happened. And no steam escaped in the pipes. Standing at the control panel, he saw that it was indicated that a ventilation fan on the third floor had also stopped. The repairman had worked at the factory for 16 years and had never seen so many machines shut down at the same time and then fail to start again. Something was very strange, he thought. The next moment the power went out! And the power cut affected not only the factory, but the whole of Forsheda. The whole village was now in darkness. But the power was only gone for a short while, and when the power came back on, the boilers and fans also started without Eriksson's involvement. Impossible according to himself.

The witness is pointing towards where he saw the small humanoid that evening. (source: UFO-Information)

When the power came back on it was 6:15 PM.The repairman checked that everything was working again, then went to the pump house which was 700 meters (765 yards) away, a little outside of the factory gates, to start the cooling water pump again to the factory. When he got halfway, he saw a small dark figure 25 - 30 meters (75 - 90 feet) away. At first he thought it was a little boy of 7-8 years. The figure was on its way from the factory buildings towards the power station. Lars Eriksson wondered how this child got into the area, when all the gates to the factory were locked. "Did he climb over the fence or was he the son of another employee who was also here working this Sunday evening?", the man thought.

When Lars Eriksson got closer to the figure, it stopped and raised its right hand. Lars also stopped and thought the mysterious boy was greeting him. The man greeted back in the same way and then tried to take a few steps forward. But it didn't work. He was as if paralyzed and could not move. He wasn't sure if it was because he didn't want to move or couldn't, but it was a strange feeling he was in. When the "boy" then turned around, it dawned on Lars that maybe this wasn't a human. The being turned in a very strange way. It was a hovering motion, with one foot slightly off the ground, followed by the other. When the figure turned around, he had slipped in the snow, which Lars then saw when he examined the tracks.

The repairman saw a short figure in the yard, who he at first thought was a small child. (artistic impression)

After the turn, the humanoid took a giant step that Lars Eriksson measured at a whopping 1.5 meters (5 feet). Then it continued quickly away with meter-long (3 feet) shots. The figure now had its back to Lars and he could see that it had something like a square helmet on its head, which reached to the shoulders. Apart from the helmet, Lars could describe the humanoid as 1 meter (3 feet) tall with a normal build for its size and wearing black clothes. Lars could not determine if it was a "space suit" that completely covered the body that the figure was wearing. It was poorly lit in the area here and it was not possible to see the being clearly. But the being had a strange forward bent posture as it jumped forward, sort of leaning forward.

As the humanoid reached what turned out to be a landing site, several things happened. At the same time Lars heard a sizzling sound, his paralysis lifted and he was able to move again. The being now jumped up, and then it almost looked as if he lay down and hovered, as it were, in the air some distance from the ground. Lars perceived it as if the creature had jumped into an invisible craft. The sizzling sound now increased in strength and became a strong whining. The humanoid now took off from the ground in a semi-recumbent position inside his invisible or transparent ship, and rode between some large fir trees in the forest next to the factory. The whining grew fainter and fainter, and the figure then disappeared into the sky like a dot.

Footprints from the alien found in the snow. (source: UFO-Information)

When the alien disappeared with its craft, Lars ventured forward and examined the footprints. He could see that the humanoid appeared to have had grooved soles on the shoes that were wider in the front than the back. The footprints were approximately 16 cm (6.3 inches) long and the tracks in the snow were 8 millimeters (0.3 inches) deep. Another strange thing Lars noticed was that the being seemed to be afraid of a frozen piece of rubber lying on the ground in the snow near the invisible ship. The humanoid had cautiously moved closer in circles, like an animal circling something it is afraid of or curious about. The being had finally shown courage and stepped forward and kicked the piece of rubber lightly with its foot. But this was just a theory, Lars pointed out. Where the invisible UFO was, there were also four tracks. Four circles in a perfect square. The man assumed it was a trace of the craft's landing gears. Lars investigated the site quite thoroughly, but unfortunately there were no tracks in the snow preserved until the next day. A short while after Lars's encounter with the alien, a snowplow came into the area and shoveled away all traces and evidence. However, the driver of the snowplow confirmed that he saw strange tracks in the snow, but did not think much of it.

This is another one of many UFO and alien cases where there is only one witness. One can choose to believe these stories or not, but unfortunately they are not enough proof that extraterrestrials are here. And in the case of Lars Eriksson and the humanoid he met, unfortunately the traces of the meeting were swept away immediately. Timely? Yes, skeptics may think so. Unlucky for those who believe in the story. But anyway, when Lars told his colleagues and managers what he had seen and been through, no one believed him. Even his wife didn't believe what he said. So it was not an easy time for Lars. He went around thinking a lot about the meeting and he wondered if it had really happened or if he had gone mad. In addition, he was teased at work. He became known in the village as the strange guy who saw UFO:s and aliens. He was also a member of the community church and it was in this circle that the harassment was worst according to Lars himself. The Christian Church, if any, should be the last to throw stones at the innocent, people who are different or people who had been through hard times.

Midnight guests.

Espoo, southern Finland, Summer of 1987.

A female student who lived in a house together with her parents in a town outside of Helsinki, woke up after midnight from a wierd sensation. It was as if something was pulling her or calling her. She sat up in bed and looked around, and she thought about these strange feelings for a few minutes. After a while she felt hungry and went down the stairs to the ground floor. She made a small sandwich in the kitchen, and then went out into the living room while she was eating it. To her surprise, she then saw three strange standing creatures curiously watching her from outside the glass patio door that led out to the porch and garden.

The woman saw that the beings were about 1 meter tall (3 feet) and they had a very large head in relation to their thin body. They had very large eyes, like eggs, and they were completely black. They had no hair on their heads and no ears, their noses were only two holes and their mouths were only like thin, narrow lines. Their fingers were very long and she managed to count them to 3 or 4. The humanoids had light grey or beige skin, but were not naked. They were dressed in tight-fitting dark green or blue-gray jumpsuits.

The young woman was hungry and was having a midnight snack when she found out she was not alone. Something was watching her from outside. (artistic impression)

Behind the beings about 20 – 30 meters (60 – 90 feet) away in the garden, the woman could see a strange craft parked in the grass. The bottom was resting on the ground. It was metallic in color and slightly oval in shape, about 3 meters (9 feet) wide. Yellow and red lights flashed all around the hull.

The woman stood as if paralyzed and looked at the humanoids and the craft for a minute. She was terrified. Then the "spell" was broken and she forced herself to move and she ran upstairs and into her room in a panic and threw herself onto the bed and hid under the blankets. She lay there for a long time, trembling and trying to calm herself. Finally the shock wore off and the fatigue took over and she fell asleep.

The next morning she went straight out into the backyard to see if she could find any traces of the terrible event from the night. But she couldn't see anything. But on the other hand, she saw traces in the years to come, because the grass did not want to grow in the place where the craft had stood.

The little folks on the glacier.

Langeness Fjord, Iceland, January 12, 1993.

Iceland is known for its legends about the little people such as Fairies, Elves, Gnomes, Trolls and other things that go all the way back to the Viking Age. One of the most famous mythical beings of the small island country are the Elves called Huldufólk*.* These creature lives underground in rocks and caves and prefer to stay away from humans*.*

But there aren't that many registered UFO cases or reports of extra-terrestrials from the island. However, people sometimes see UFO:s here as well and most activity of that kind is centered around Langeness Fjord and many UFO:s have been reported by Icelandic Airlines pilots over the years. The US Navy once sighted three large UFO:s in the vicinity of Iceland. And Icelandic fishermen often report seeing strange craft emerge from or dive into the water around them, some of the craft were even quite large. A big, black triangle was also allegedly observed at one point. Reports of equipment malfunction on the fishing boats when they are around these objects is also common.

Artistic impression of a fishingboat outside the coast of Iceland.

There are stories of Icelanders placing food for the little folks, especially those on the Snaefellsjokull glacier. These creatures that live here are described as small and short and with gray skin. Here we see something that could be connected to the well-known Gray aliens. There are also other connections between the little people of Iceland and aliens. In many stories when people meet the little people, it is often reported that they take out a magic wand and the person is immediately paralyzed and unable to move. This is a phenomenon we know all too well from many cases of encounters with extraterrestrial beings. Many therefore believe that the little folks that people have seen for hundreds of years are actually in fact our dear ET:s. Yes, Iceland is indeed a land of mysteries in many ways…

There are many legends of little folks on Iceland. One of these people are the \"Huldufolk\" elves, who lives underground. (source: Goblinglade)

During the winter of 1992-1993 there were much UFO-activity reported over the whole North Atlantic, from the Orkney Island in Scotland, Faroe Islands and up to Iceland. It was at this time that the famous incident with the missing UK Fighter Jet near Orkney Islands occurred. It met a UFO, went missing and was later found intact in rough terrain on a small Island where it couldn’t have landed. Unfortunately, the pilot was never found. During this period, there was also a rumour about an American warship encountered a UFO and completely vanished along with her crew, around the waters of Iceland. Other rumours from the winter of 92 - 93 suggested that Russian and NATO naval forces teamed up around Iceland to hunt for unknown submerged USO ”fast movers”.

The following story below is something as unusual as an Icelandic humanoid case. Unfortunately, however, there is not much information available about this sighting. But this is also from the UFO-Hotspot area around Langeness Fjord.

There had been bad weather over of Iceland for a longer period in the beginning of January 1993 and local people had also reported a lot of UFO activity in the area around Langeness in connection with this. Authorities now also received several calls that people had seen a group of small (shorter than a human), mysterious beings in gray that had wandered around the glacier in the area. But they were seen at a distance and no one got close enough to see who they were or what they looked like. So were these beings aliens or were they really just ordinary people like tourists behaving strangely? …Or was it perhaps the little people from the legends? Who knows…

A frightening late night encounter.

Hillerød, eastern Denmark, October 10, 2002.

Hillerød is a small town on Zealand island in eastern Denmark. The place has old origins and is home to Scandinavia's oldest Renaissance castle, Frederiksborg, a beautiful building from the 16th century. And it is in this town that a 25-year-old woman (who wishes to remain anonymous) had a terrifying, otherworldly experience one late autumn evening.

The woman had been visited by a female friend this evening and they had eaten some good food, drank some wine, talked and played music. When the friend was going home, the 25-year-old woman followed her to the bus stop, which was a short distance away. They had the 25-year-old's dog on a leash with them. At the bus stop they hugged and said goodbye. The bus arrived and the friend left with it.

After that, the woman started walking home with her dog. The time was then 11:13 PM. She remembered the time because that was when the bus left. She and the dog walked home through residential areas and small green areas, not thinking about anything in particular. They had been walking for 10 minutes, when in front of them they suddenly saw someone or something standing still and watching them, about 25 meters (75 feet) away on the pathway. This strange thing or creature was 150 cm (5 feet) tall, had gray-brown skin (but it was hard to tell in the dark). It was slender and had long limbs. The head was bald and the eyes were as big as an old Danish 5 Kroner coin. The woman and the dog stood completely still and were surprised, when the creature suddenly emitted a terrible sound. It sounded like metal rattling or being set in motion. It was hard to describe what it sounded like and it was the closest the woman could come.

The 25-year old woman and her dog encountered a terrifying creature on their way home. (artistic impression)

The 25-year-old woman just stood petrified and stared at the creature for almost 2 minutes. The dog growled low all the time on a stretched leash. The creature also just stood still and looked at them strangely with its head tilted. After that, the woman's paralysis stopped and she and the dog ran home in terror, as fast as they could. They couldn't see the creature behind them anymore, but they ran all the way home and up into the apartment and locked the door. The woman's boyfriend wondered what had happened. She tearfully told what she had been through. She was completely terrified and sat on the couch with a blanket around her and just shivered. The woman claims to be clairvoyant/ medium and she has seen some visions and heard many strange things of various supernatural kinds. Never has any of this scared her. But this was the worst thing she had experienced in her entire life and she had never been so afraid before.

So what did the 25-year-old woman see this late night? Did someone just dress up and think it was fun to scare people? Or was it a real physical unknown being she encountered, looking a bit like a typical Gray alien? Perhaps, with the help of her sensitivity to the supernatural, she could see things that others could not? Or was it just her unusual abilities playing tricks on her and she thought she was seeing something that was really only in her head?

I have always been fascinated by The Flatwoods Monster, a supposed creature witnessed in 1952 by several individuals in Flatwoods, West Virginia. Here is an image I created.

Initially dismissed by the authorities, the story gained popularity and local notoriety, becoming a source of tourism and legend for the small town. Many anxieties of the era, including the Cold War, atomic fears and political demagoguery, may have contributed to the story's initial widespread acceptance. Although the U.S. Air Force later attributed the sightings to a meteor and an owl, the legend endures, generating a local economy based on the Monster's image and attracting visitors to the "Home of the Green Monster."

Aliens and UFO:s have visited Northen Europe for a long time, and we have a long tradition of trying to write these stories down. There is a lot on record to pull more reports from. Here is another set of intresting tales from the box of chilling Nordic "cold" cases. This time most of the stories are focused on strange humanoids encountered without a UFO nearby. Are they even aliens then? Maybe they are from somewhere else? You decide! As usual 4 reports from Sweden, Denmark, Norway and Finland. Also, I must warn sensitive readers about the last case...it is a bit violent...

The Little Man of the North.

Northen Sweden and Finland, February 1971.

During February 1971 a strange little being was seen along the roads at night in Sweden and Finland. A lot of calls came in to UFO-investigators and news reporters. And many newspapers in northen Sweden started to write about it. ”The Little Man” now became a concept among ordinary people. And a lot of people were actually a little scared of this creature back then. The ”Little Man” legend started with a report of a mysterious sighting in northen Finland, which was published in the swedish newspaper ”Norrländska Socialdemokraten” on February 15, 1971. Some of you might find this report familiar:

On February 2, 1971, at approximately 8 pm, two Finnish women - Sinikka Kuittinen and one Mrs. Manninen - were driving from Kuusamo towards Oulu in a region near Kiiminki, when they saw a strange light behind their car, on the right side of the road. After a few moments, this mysterious light slipped over the vehicle and began to pace the car on the left side of the road. Sinikka, who was driving the vehicle, claimed that as the UFO passed overhead her ears began to mysteriously “plug up.” When the pair arrived at a nearby field, the light abruptly disappeared. This is when Kuittinen and Manninen both claimed to have caught a glimpse of the unbelievable. The women later insisted that they had seen a peculiar, helmeted creature that stood approximately 1 m (3-feet) tall. They both agreed that this strange being was clad in a greenish-brown suit and crossed the road in front of them utilizing a series of small jumps. - Ring a bell? - Yes, it is actually one of the reports for the Kinulla Ufonaut case. Is the Kinulla humanoid connected to the ”Little Man” sightings. Maybe? We don’t really know, beacuse they don’t look very much alike. – ”But some say the Kinulla humanoid was an April 1st hoax”… Or was it?

Are the Kinnula Ufonaut and the Little man connected? Both were reported around the same period in February 1971. (source: Cryptid Wiki)

The first report about the Little Man was actually already made on the 15th of August the year before, along road 397 in Norrbotten, Sweden. This night it was raining and Assar Sandberg together with Olof and Märta Mohlinder were on their way in a car between Narken and Jokkfall, when at about 9 pm they saw a small strange man standing by the side of the road at a junction of a smaller road. Märta's husband exclaims: "What a strange person!". At the same moment there is a bang and a bright white light in front of them fills the car. Even the radio crackles. At the same time, they see how the little man raises his arm to protect his face. They are now only about 3 - 4 meters (9 - 12 feet) from the little man. All three were very scared and Assar who was driving the car was blinded and had to brake hard to avoid going off the road. A few days later, Assar had to see a doctor due to problems with his eyes. Märta Mohlinder describes the creature as 1 meter (3 feet) short and stooped, and wearing a black raincoat. He also had some kind of dark cap or helmet on his head and she couldn't see his face. Mrs. Mohlinder drew a sketch of the man (see picture). And the area of ​​the incident is desolate. There is only forest there and the nearest settlement is far away. The three observers then regretted not getting out of the car and looking for the person, but they were too scared and shaken up and sped away.

On February 15, 1971, the same day the article was published in a newspaper, two women in Kälsjärv near Kalix were up late at night playing records. By chance one of the women looked out the window. She then saw a strange creature on the road, which was a short distance from the house. She described it as 1 meter (3 feet) long and "crooked". It was dark outside, but they saw that it wore black clothes and on its head it wore a kind of black cap. She could see no face. After a while, the little creature had just disappeared. The women were never afraid. They just thought the whole thing was weird.

The next time the Little Man was sighted, it was in the small village of Stråkan in Norrbotten in Sweden, a small community of around 10 farms and houses. At 6 pm on February 16, twenty year-old Åke Westberg was waiting for the bus at the stop near his parents' home. He would travel a few kilometers (1.5 miles) to collect milk. This evening it was very dark outside. When Åke was standing there waiting for the bus, he saw a small dark-clad man further away. He could not see the man's face. He called out because he thought it might be someone he knew, but got no answer. Then he moved a little closer. When he was about 20 - 15 meters (60 - 45 feet), he heard a scary growl from the person. Then he also saw that the man had a large square box on his stomach. From this it suddenly came a strong white light, which blinded Åke, so he had to turn away. The light lasted for a minute or so and when he was able to open his eyes again he saw that the whole road behind him bathed in light almost 500 meters (547 yards) away, and the light was so intense that he could not see his own shadow against the snow. When the light finally disappeared, so did the Little Man. Puzzled, Åke then stood and waited for the bus, which then arrived after a few minutes. When he returned home after getting the milk, he fetched the hunting rifle and went out to look, but found no little man.

Åke had a vague idea of ​​what the man looked like, but he described that he was dressed in black and seemed to be a bit clumsy. He also had something black on his head, but what could not be seen. On his stomach the man had a square box, from which the light came. The same evening that Åke saw the man, when he was about to go to bed, he had severe pain in all the joints of his body and could not sleep. At one point during the night it felt like he was paralyzed. Finally he fell asleep and when he woke up in the morning the pain was gone and everything was as usual.

On the evening of February 27, Ann-Marie Lindbäck drove her car on the road between Haparanda and Överkalix near the Finnish border. When she was near the roadside tavern Three Seashells, she suddenly saw a small man standing by the roadside in front of her. Ann-marie could see that the man was wearing a dark coat, with a dark hood or helmet on his head. She managed to see that he had a kind of box on his stomach, then she was blinded by a bright light and she braked the car. It lasted a few seconds, and when it was gone the little man was no longer there. Ann-Marie stayed in the car for five minutes, watching for the man, waiting to see if he came back, but he never did. At last she drove on…

Many years later, a letter came to UFO-Sweden from a man named Lars-Olof Gustavsson. He said that sometime at the end of February 1971, he was driving with his wife on road 97 from Boden towards Luleå. As they neared Gammelstad and came close to a narrow bridge over a river, they saw a bright light 300 meters (330 yards) away from an oncoming car. His wife who was driving the car was dazzled. But instead of getting closer, the oncoming light veered off to the right and then disappeared without a trace. When they arrived at the place where the light disappeared there was no side road in any direction. It was just a straight road. Instead, they saw a dark figure standing by the side of the road. It was 1 meter (3 feet) tall and looked like a straight cabinet with a yellow-green square glowing hatch in the middle. Lars-Olof shouted: "Look, the Little Man!" His wife passed by without stopping. When they reached their friends in Gammelstad, they told them about the mysterious event and they drove back with the friends and looked. But then there was no dark figure left.

Was it a wierd dark metal casing or a strange creature dressed in black they saw? (source: UFO-Sweden)

In the middle of April 1971 another report came in. This time it was from Finland near Kierinki, about 100 kilometers (62 miles) from the Swedish border. At 9.30 pm in the evening, Timo Alamartin was out driving his tractor after working late in the forest. Suddenly he saw a man in the middle of the road. He thought it was his brother, as he was also nearby. When he got closer, he saw that the man was wearing what he thought looked like a dark fur hat on his head. The hat was pulled down far over the eyes, so Timo couldn't see a face. And the figure on the road appeared to be no more than 1 meter (3 feet) tall. It was now right in front of the hood of the tractor, so Timo backed up a bit to get the figure back into the headlight from the tractor, so he could see better. But when he backed up, the little man was still right in front of the hood. Timo swerved and backed up several times, but no matter what he did, the figure remained in front of the nose of the tractor. Now Timo also felt how the creature pushed the tractor, as if it was trying to get it over the snow bank and into the ditch. Now Timo got angry and jumped out of the tractor. With determined steps and a wrench in hand, he walked towards the front of the tractor. But when he got there, the little man had disappeared without a trace. No traces of the man could be seen in the newly fallen snow on the road either. Timo now became very scared. It was one of the few times in his life that he felt that way. He had read several articles about the "Little Man" in the newspaper and thought it was this creature that he had met. Shaken, he drove home to tell his wife.

Many people claimed they observed a Little Man in black clothing with a strange box on his chest, at the side of the roads in northen Sweden and Finland that winter of 1971. (artistic impression)

There were also those who claimed to have spoken to the Little Man. The newspaper Norrbotten-Kuriren reported on 10 March 1971 about a man in Kursu in north-eastern Finland, who saw the strange figure in his kitchen. On April 15, 1970 at 5 pm, forest worker and locally known athlete Kalle Tiihonen was sitting in his kitchen drinking coffee. He heard a noise that was similiar to a swarm of bees. He had his back to the kitchen door and was suddenly beginning to feel watched. He turned and saw a small man of 1 meter (3 feet) standing in the doorway. The being wore a green shimmering jumpsuit and on its head it had what looked like a helmet. It also had big, nasty eyes, but Kalle wasn't scared, mostly surprised, and started talking to the creature. He asked questions about space and whether the creature knew if the US astronauts in the Apollo capsule could return to Earth. Kalle also wondered where the little man came from. "From the universe." was the answer. After promising to return, the little man left. Throughout the conversation, it was as if he had the words projected into his own head by the creature. Kalle Tiihonen's eight-year-old son was sitting in the next room and heard the father talking to someone, but he heard no one answer. The son also claims to have seen a small saucer-like craft land and take off in the backyard. Even Kalle's wife, who was in the barn at the time, had also heard a strange humming sound. According to the family, they also found tracks left in the snow from the spaceship. After the incident, Kalle Tiihonen was unable to sleep for three nights in a row, and experienced a sort of malaise for over a week. Footnote: The description of the being in this sighting is very similar to the humanoid seen in Imjärvi in ​​January 1970.

In connection with the observations of the Little Man, there were also several reports of mysterious lights from orbs in northern Sweden and Finland during this period. In Finland, as in Ylistaro for example, strange tracks were also seen in the snow in several places where UFO:s were sighted. These looked like an elephant walking in the snow and they went a little way and then stopped abruptly, as if the creature that made the tracks just went up in smoke or flew away. People also saw remnants of what they thought were landing sites, with large areas of melted snow. Discolorations of yellow-red residue were also visible in the snow, and there was a smell of sulfur in the area.

Mysterious \"elephant\" tracks were found in Finland at a few occasions. (UFO-Information)

One naturally wonders about the veracity of all these reports that were made about the Little Man during 1970-71. But they contain many features in common with other UFO and humanoid sightings worldwide. The reports about the Little Man are fascinating and interesting in many ways and remind a little of the Nordic legends about Elves, Gnomes and Trolls. And it also seems that other UFO stories about creatures are woven into this one, such as the Ufonaut in Kinnula and the being in Imjärvi, as some descriptions are similar to these. The story of the Little Man of the North became a legend in itself and is one of the most famous humanoid cases in the Nordics and was even heard of abroad.

Small green mummies.

Nivå, Near Copenhagen, September 28, 1988.

This interesting report came from an elderly lady and SUFOI (Scandinavian UFO Information) received it first in December 1995, five years after it happened. The woman said that on this Monday evening in September 1988 she had been to a meeting in Copenhagen and drove alone in the car to her home in Hornbæk. It was late at night and it was raining a lot. At approximately 11:30 PM, she arrived at the coastal village of Nivå on the way home. As she drove on Gammel Strandvej (Old Beach Road) that passed through the small quiet community, the rain poured down, the windshield wipers went full speed and she had to slow down a lot to see how she was driving.

Suddenly, in the car's headlights, she saw two thin and short creatures (0,5 – 0,6 meters/ 1.65 – 1.95 feet) standing by a gutter grate through which the water on the street flowed down. They gestured at each other with their hands, as if they were having a lively discussion. The small humanoids were clad in a full body suit, and it almost looked like they were wrapped from head to toe, like mummies, in a shiny, olive green, plastic-like fabric similar to bandages. Even the eyes, nose and mouth were covered by this "bandage". They had large, almost egg-shaped heads that tapered slightly towards the chin, and had slender arms ending in a large finger and thumb, and legs with feet that were long and pointed.

The elderly woman made a picture of the beings she caught a glimpse of in the rain at the side of the road that night. (source: UFO-Nyt)

The woman was very surprised and turned her head around, while driving the car. She couldn't believe what she was seeing and she wanted to see the small, strange beings again, but now she had already passed by and had to drive a little further down the road to turn around. Where Stationsvej crossed Gammel Strandvej, she could then turn the car around. But when she thought of driving back to the place where she saw the creatures, she got an inexplicable anxiety. Instead, she turned the car in the other direction again and continued home. So, unfortunately, the woman was not able to confirm what it was she saw. But it is also not certain that the beings would have remained if she drove back. The woman estimates the entire course of events to be approximately 2 - 3 minutes.

In the report there are some things that are strange. The woman claims that the gutter grate was approximately 50 – 100 meters (55 – 110 yards) from the place she turned, which should be in the middle of the village of Nivå (see picture). Thus, she should have seen the creatures again when she turned the car around. But she never mentioned this in the report. Or was it raining too much and was too dark for her to see anything? Or was the observation point instead at the fields and meadows just before entering Nivå, because she says that the sequence of events took 2 - 3 minutes? It doesn't take that long to drive 50 – 100 meters. Unless she sat in the car for a long time and waited before driving home again? Also, could it have been small children in wet raincoats that she saw? This is less likely because small children are probably not out playing at this time, especially not by a road in the dark.

What is also interesting to speculate about, is that this is not the first time that humanoids dressed in something similar to bandages have been observed. The aliens in the Pascagoula abduction case in the US and "The fanged humanoids of Kofu" in Japan had similar suits. But unlike these two sightings, no UFO was observed in the Nivå case.

Finally, what happened in eastern Denmark this late evening in 1988 was a very fascinating observation, but unfortunately it contains some question marks. However, SUFOI assessed the elderly lady as honest and trustworthy and that she had indeed seen something that she could not explain. But will we ever know what?

”Red is the morning!”

Oslo, Norway, May 2006.

This is a report that does not involve a UFO or craft of any kind, but only a mysterious entity. It is unclear if this should be classified as an alien sighting or if it more belongs in the Supernatural category. Anyway, here is the story:

An evening in May the 17-year old witness was on his way to a local cinema named ”El Dorado”, located in central Oslo with two of his friends. He was feeling kind of tired from not sleeping well, but otherwise felt fine. At about 500 meters (545 yards) away from the cinema the streets suddenly went quiet, which was very strange since this was a very busy Saturday. The teenager looked around him and did not see a single person, even his friends were gone. When he turned around he saw a 2 meter (6.5 feet) tall “person” dressed in a blood red outfit in front of him. The man had no face or hair, the only thing on its head was a round shaped metal object on what would have been its forehead. Except from this the figure looked like a middle age male. The suit was seamless and the texture looked like wool. The being started to walk towards the witness and then suddenly all the people in the street returned and red dressed entity was gone. Shocked the witness again saw his friends and asked them what had happened. They did not understand what he was talking about, and thought he was a little crazy, since at no time had they noticed anything strange.

Suddenly all cars and everyone around the teenager disappeared and the only one left on the street was a strange being in a red jumpsuit/ overall. (artistic impression)

A few days later the witness was awakened by his cell phone ringing. He answered the phone and got no reply. He said hello once more and heard strange unexplainable noises. It was a sound he had never heard before that he is unable to describe in detail. When the mysterious sounds ceased he turned off his phone and dozed off again. When he woke up that morning he noticed that his cellphone was still on. He checked the incoming and outgoing calls and saw nothing.

2 weeks later the teenager had almost forgotten the incidents and he was now on the subway (T-Bane) on his way to see a friend. Suddenly the eerie quietness returned, and the same strange entity was now sitting in the opposite seat from him, a half meter (1.5 feet) away. It was wearing the same red suit. He still could not see a face, and the metallic disc on was still on its forehead. He then heard the sounds he had heard on the cellphone previously. They had no distinct direction or origin so he assumed they were telepathic. Suddenly the disc on the beings face opened and revealed a big eye, a human eye, but in a shade of red and violet. This scared the witness and he cried and screamed. The being seemed to ignore the witness’s terrified state, and then it took his hand with an incredibly strong grip, but soft. The 17 year old tried to pull out of his grip, but to his surprise the being touched his hand with the other hand in an attempt to calm the witness, who stopped crying, but was still terrified. Then the entity uttered a strange phrase in Norwegian “Rod er morgenen!” which directly translates to “Red is the morning” or “The morning is red”. His voice sounded kind of neutral, not masculine or feminine. Then in a flash everything went back to normal. The witness looked around him, too afraid to do anything. He decided not to tell his friend about the encounter. He has not met the strange entity again.

Once again everyone around him were suddenly gone and the only one left was the sinister being in red.

Whatever happen or who or what the strange entity was no one knows. Or was there even an creature to begin with? Was this only something from the teenagers imagination? Or did he take drugs or hallucinated? Where this story came from originally and who wrote it is unclear. So we do not have any details of the witness or character judgment from Paranormal-investigators. So this might just as well be only a made up story, having its own life on the net.

The alien assailants.

Vihti, southern Finland, September 30, 2018.

Finland is the place in the Nordics for many strange close encounters. This is yet another and this was a terrifying and bizarre incident that happened in a small town in the south of the country, where people were attacked in their own homes by unknown assailants. It is such an incredible story, with both classic alien abduction elements and bits of demonic possession, that it is almost hard to believe. And again, a heads up to sensitive readers.

It was evening and a family was watching TV when suddenly it went black and all the lights in the house went out. And the computer didn't work either. It seemed like all the electricity in the whole house was gone. The father of the family walked over to the living room window and looked out. Outside he saw something very strange, a dark object the size of a car and with red and blue pulsating lights, hovering low over the ground some distance from the house.

The man's wife then headed for the front door. Suddenly it opened and in the doorway stood two menacing creatures. They resembled humans in size and appearance and were dressed in what looked like black overalls. But there the similarity ended. Where their face should be there was nothing, only darkness. It was as if someone had taken an eraser and erased their eyes, noses and mouths. The man in the family commanded angrily the intruders to leave their house. The wife remained and screamed in panic to the husband to run upstairs and save their daughter.

When they opened the front door, two large, menacing men in black stood outside. (artistic impression)

Suddenly, the two black-clad strangers stormed into the house. When the father of the family tried to run away, the intruders sent a beam of light, and the man was unable to move and fell and ended up paralyzed on the floor. Then the strangers came forward and installed some kind of metal cage around the face of the downed man. The cage then started flashing a white light and the man got a severe headache. The strangers then attacked the man's wife and dog. The woman began to behave strangely, as if she lost all emotions. As the man screamed in pain from the headache, his wife turned to him and said, "You have no reason to scream. Then her eye color changed to red and they moved strangely. She got black rings around her eyes. After that the man fainted.

When the man then woke up again, he was laying in his own bed with one of the intruders standing next to him. He was ordered to try to ejaculate on his own. The man tried, but was too shocked and nothing came out. After that he was dragged to his daughter's room downstairs. His wife and daughter were already in bed. They were wrapped in what looked like robes and they both had these strange black rings around their eyes. He heard his wife and daughter say something to him. But it was monotonous and without emotion in the voice, as if they had become robots. The man again shouted at them that they must get away from here, but to no avail. He was crying in frustration at this nightmare he had gotten himself into.

Then he was again dragged up the stairs to his bedroom. The intruders now began to perform a medical procedure and they stuck something up his rectum. When he tried to resist, they hit him in the face so hard they broke his nose. When they dragged him out into the corridor to the toilet, he saw himself in the mirror, he was naked and covered in blood on his face. The black-clad told the man that they needed his seed, so they could make human offspring in the laboratory. The man was again ordered to produce something manually on his own. But in this state that the man was in, he could not. The strangers then brought out something looked like a black stone, and with this they stroked the man's body and face, and the man's bruises, wounds and broken nose were healed at once. After this, the two men left the house as quickly as they had arrived. They never came back. The man never forgot this event that left a deep mark, but neither his wife nor daughter had any memory of what happens to them this terrible night or of the violent assailants.

Was the car-sized black object with blue and red pulsating lights, that the man saw hovering outside, a UFO? (artistic impression)

What happened this evening and why is very difficult to understand. And who were the intruders? Other than the man seeing a mysterious object outside that flashed red and blue, there is no indication that the strangers were aliens. They might as well have been only human. And maybe this assault had a more earthly nature of a criminal kind and the man was confused of their intentions? Perhaps the father of the family owed someone money or was involved in some organized crime and clashed with someone who wanted to take revenge or warn him? Or has the man made it all up or imagined everything? Or was he suffering from mental problems? There are so many questions to this story and few answers. But the man insisted that those who attacked the family that evening were not human and not from this Earth.

Back with an another intresting set of cases from the cold North. And as usual four cases from Finland, Denmark, Sweden and Norway. Hope you will enjoy these fascinating stories as much as I did!

A TV-message from space.

Turku, Finnish west coast, March 1954.

This is a quite well known contactee-case in Finland and was told by the Finnish Air Force mechanic Osmo T. Liene in a TV-documentary from 1992. Most of the events took place when he was a kid and lived in the countryside outside of Turku. A few nights in March 1954, some very strange things would happen to him.

One evening when Osmo and his brother were out playing in the area where they lived, they saw an aluminum-colored disk coming over the nearby treetops. It stopped and stood and hovered at the field beside them. The brothers managed to estimate the size of the ship to be about 5-7 meters (15-21 feet) in diameter. Suddenly the craft speeds up towards them and they have to throw themselves into a nearby ditch to avoid being hit by the saucer. As the craft passes over the boys, it drops a white sand quartz-like substance over them. Then the saucer quickly disappears beyond the treetops again.

The flying saucer sprayed a sand like substance over Osmo and his brother (artistic impression)

A few nights later, Osmo had fallen asleep in the living room. Everyone else in the family was sleeping too. It was around midnight when he woke up to people walking outside on the porch and he heard voices talking in a foreign language he had never heard before. He carefully opened the front door and outside stood three strange men dressed in brown overalls made of fabric that almost looked like velvet. They were shorter than normal adult men, had a slightly oriental appearance and they were a bit wrinkled (weathered) and bald. Osmo thought they were Russians, who might have gone to the wrong address. Suddenly they push open the door and barge into the house. The men were surprised that Osmo was already awake, but they said it was good, because he was the one they had come to see. They had questions for him. The leader who seemed to be the youngest of the three, wondered if Osmo was the boy who built radios. He answered yes, and then the stranger entered his room and examined Osmo's radios. The family in the rest of the house was still asleep. The young leader now entered his parent’s bedroom and stood at the edge of the bed where the father was sleeping and smiled kindly at him. Then the man left the room again. Why he did that, Osmo didn't understand.

Osmo thought the three strange men were Russians who had gone to the wrong house. (artistic impression)

One of the other strangers, who looked to be 35-40 years old, was carrying some kind of bag. He asked Osmo to sit at the living room table, while he picked up something. It looked like a small, strange flat TV set, with a monitor and a switch on top (today we would have thought it looked like some kind of laptop), and he placed it on the table in front of the Osmo. The third man who looked to be the oldest at about 50 years of age, was now standing by the window. He kept looking out, as if on guard, wanting to make sure no one came. Osmo saw that the man by the window was sweating on his bald head and forehead, as if he were sick, and asked if he wanted water. The man refused and replied that it was the air they were breathing here that was strange and that it would soon pass. Osmo also tried to light a lamp, but the men forbade him. They now asked him to sit down at the table, and the interview began. Osmo noticed that he understood the strangers perfectly when he had his head towards them and looked at them, but if he turned his head to the side, only a murmur could be heard from the men's mouths.

After each question, the 40-year-old man turned the control on the TV and a clip from Osmo's future was shown. He talked and showed videos from Osmo's whole life up until the "end", which was not a nice picture, but showed that he would unfortunately die in a tragic accident, when he was middle-aged. At one point, Osmo tried to turn the switch himself, but then he received a harch reprimand. In the TV documentary, Osmo Liene claims that everything the strangers showed him when he was a boy actually happened later in his life, and he seemed worried that the ending might also be true. Then the "TV show" ended and instead they put something on his head. They would now carry out an "experiment". It felt like he was getting electric shocks and he was now put into a kind of dream-like trance. The men now continued the interview for a long time before finally finishing. But before they left, the strangers told Osmo that they came from a planet far away, which was in a dense distant group of stars at the edge of our galaxy and that Osmo had been chosen to be one of their contacts here on Earth. Then they went out the front door and disappeared into the night.

The visitors had a TV-like device from which they could show selected parts from Osmo's future (Source: 1992 documentary)

After this occasion, Osmo was contacted several times. But after a few visits, the strangers discovered several disturbing and dangerous traits in him and they terminated his mission as a contactee. However, Osmo still met the visitors sporadically throughout his life. At one point when he got older and started working as an aircraft mechanic, he was even given a private flight demonstration of the alien´s saucer craft. The speed Osmo claimed he measured was Mach 35.

Unfortunately, Osmo T. Liene died a few years after the documentary in 1992. How he passed away is a bit of a mystery. Some say he died in a tragic car accident just like the aliens predicted, others say he just disappeared and was never found and they say he was actually abducted by the strangers to their home planet, and some say he drank himself to death and passed away completely undramatically at home on the sofa. In any case, this is a fascinating story, which we will never know if it is true or if it was just pure fiction. However, another event occurred that may have a connection to Osmo's case and corroborate it.

A middle aged Osmo T. Liene tells his story in a finnish 1992 documentary (source: 1992 documentary)

A few days after Osmo's first encounter with the Strangers, a woman in Finland named Hellwig reported that she encountered an aluminum-colored disk that landed on a road. Outside the ship she saw three people. There was a bald man and two women with long black hair. All three were light skinned and looked oriental with slightly slanted eyes. They were all dressed in a brown full coverall that appeared to be made of velvet. They called Hellwig and a conversation began. The creatures used their own language that sounded very musical, as well as telepathy to communicate with the woman. They invited her to look at their craft, which was about 3 meters (9 feet) wide and had a window at the front. In the woman's UFO report, a detailed description of the craft's construction and propulsion was also given. The visitors also told that they came from "Arion", a planet that was very far away, and that their world was ruled by a "Monarch". When the craft then took off, Hellwig only felt a light gust of wind and no sound was heard. Some time after this meeting, she began to experience strange things mentally and have mental problems. No doctor understood what was causing it and no medicine seemed to help.

Broby Ufonauts.

The island of Fyn, Denmark, July 16(?) 1982.

This is one of Denmark's more famous humanoid cases and the observation was made early one summer morning by a 15-year-old. The sun was about to come up and it was 4.30 am and the boy was cycling to his summer job at a garden center in Broby. About 15 minutes after he left his home, he came to a bend in the road next to a grass field. As the boy rounded the curve, he caught sight of something shining out in the field about 50 - 60 meters (150 - 180 feet) away from him. He jumped off the bike and walked closer to the object to see what it was. It looked like two white-glowing soup plates stacked on top of each other and was 3 meters (9 feet) in diameter and 2 meters (6 feet) high. Otherwise, the craft was completely smooth and had no other distinguishing features.

When the boy was 10 - 15 meters (30 - 45 feet) from the object, he also saw some small beings. Four of them walked out in the field with dark bags and appeared to be collecting something, either soil or grass. It almost looked like they were walking more above the grass than on the ground. A fifth being stood by the ship in front of an open hatch in the hull, observing the others. It was dark inside, so the boy couldn't see what was inside the hatch. The humanoids were small and short, only 60 cm (2 feet) tall, and had large heads and ears similar to humans, but more pointed. The skin was maybe grey-white or pale yellow, it was hard to see. They had rather broad chests and short legs. They were dressed in gray or silvery jumpsuits with black belts around their waists.

Suddenly, the leader standing in front of the craft seemed to have spotted the boy, as he turned and looked right at the 15-year-old. All the little ufonauts then ran into the craft through the hatch, like from an inaudible command and the UFO began to take off with a hissing or whooshing sound, while the brightness of the craft increased so much that the boy had to shield his eyes with his arms. The craft quickly flew away over some power lines and disappeared in a south-east direction towards the city of Odense. After the craft was gone, the boy walked over to the landing site and could see that the grass had been pressed down. He could not see any other traces. The observer then cycled on to his workplace. Arriving at work, he recounted the experience to his boss, who predictably did not believe him, saying that the boy was probably not fully awake yet.

Rendering of what the small aliens might have looked liked based on sketches and description.

The incident was thoroughly investigated by four skilled investigators from SUFOI about a year later. They visited the scene of the incident in the spring of 1983, but then could no longer see any traces. In the field there was now newly sown barley, which was beginning to come up. On site, the investigators were also able to determine that the height of the creatures that the boy claimed were as small as 60 cm (2 feet) actually seemed to be correct. The boy couldn't remember the exact date of the sighting at first, but investigators managed to pin it down to around July 16 based on the descriptions of the weather and discussions with the parents. It could also be stated that the boy seemed to have a trusting and honest impression and the answers to the questions came quickly without much thought or contradictions. He also didn't seem like someone looking for attention. According to the parents, the boy was also not a person who fantasized or daydreamed. Something that was strange was that the investigators were not allowed to contact his boss at the summer job, but this can be explained by the fact that the boy might not want to get into trouble or to be considered weird, for the potential of future jobs at the garden center. In conclusion, this fascinating case is still unsolved and many questions were unfortunately never answered.

The flying man.

Nås, middle of Sweden, May 3, 1996.

This incredible story took place in the Dalarna region in the spring of 1996. In the evening at 7:30 PM, Karin Bengtsson and her adult son Hans were going out for an evening walk with Karin's four Drever hunting dogs. They drove to a forest area nearby. Just as they had gotten out of the car, one of the dogs broke free and ran away and disappeared into the forest. They ran after, but could not find the Drever Betty. They searched in and around the forest in vain for several hours. At midnight, Karin and Hans caught sight of a light about 100 meters (300 feet) away. They thought it was a vehicle of some kind. It stood in an open place in the forest at a rest area next to a small old rest house. A small gravel road led to this place and Karin had been here the night before and turned the car around, when she was out walking the four dogs. The vehicle looked almost like a jeep or something and it had three lights. Two of them were placed normally like on a car, while the third, which was a little bigger, was placed down by the ground. All three lights glowed dimly. Both Karin and Hans thought something was out of place with the vehicle and that it looked strange, but they never went closer to get a better look. Instead, they went back to their own car and drove on to another place to look for the missing dog.

When Karin, her son and the three dogs approached the resting area in the forest, they could see a mysterious light there. (artistic impression)

It was now the middle of the night and Hans and Karin had searched for several hours without success and they were worried that a wolf or bear had taken Betty. But when they heard a dog barking far away in the forest, they drove back to the clearing with the resting place to search. It was about 1:30 AM when they got back to the first place. At approximately 75 meters (225 feet) from the rest area, they stopped the car and got out. The "Jeep" was still standing in the same place. But as they were about to walk towards it, it flared up with a bright neon-like glow, almost like a silent explosion. Up to this point, Hans and Karin's versions of the story are identical.

Karin saw that a man sitting on some kind of chair came flying out of the bright light. The entire object hovered at a height of 4 - 5 meters (12 - 15 feet). The man was holding a driving stick in his right hand, or rather a long rod as it was hanging freely, and he was wearing a full body suit and helmet, almost like the kind a racing driver or astronaut wears. Both the chair and the humanoid being glowed, and was illuminating the surroundings slightly. The strange chair-object hovered slowly over the dirt road, approaching in a zig-zag like motion, back and forth across the road. Karin's first thought was "Oh, such an advanced technology they must have!" And she thought it might be a Russian Cosmonaut who had landed here to repair a damaged space craft.

Hans did not quite observe the same thing as Karin. He saw no man sitting on a chair, but only a bright light hovering closer. Both Karin and Hans, on the other hand, were very scared and hurried back into the car and quickly backed away from there. The luminous being must then have been only 40 meters (120 feet) away from them. The three dogs showed clear signs that something unusual was happening. They stood with their paws against the windows and the back seat and barked loudly. They drove home at full speed.

Towards them on the road came a man on a flying chair. He was dressed in what looked like a space suit and he had a staff or control stick in his right hand. (artisitc impression)

But curiosity and worry about Betty took over and a little later in the night Karin drove back alone to the rest area. She parked a short distance away and crept closer on foot into the forest. It was now about 3 am and the sky was starting to get a little brighter in the east, sunrise was coming soon. The object they thought was a Jeep was still there and the three lights were on, but no being in a spacesuit was to be seen. Karin sat hidden approximately 50 – 60 meters (150 – 180 feet) from the object, and did not dare to sneak closer. After a short while, she resumed the search for Betty instead. Karin wandered around the forest looking for the dog, and twice more she returned to the resting place and could then see from a distance that the light was still there.

At 5:30 AM she heard Betty's barking in the distance. It sounded like it was coming from the rest area. She returned there and drove the car as close as she dared. But when she reached the clearing, the object was gone. Karin drove forward and turned the car in the place where the object had been, and then the car sank into the ground. The wheels were half buried in mud. All around the ground was hard, but right where the object had been standing, the soil and grass was like a sludge. It was as if the ground had been heated in this place only. The car was stuck, so she had to leave it and walk back. On the way home, she ran into a happy Betty.

The next day she contacted the local UFO association, who came to the scene and investigated. Gudrun Andersson at Västerbergslagen's UFO association, was then able to ascertain that no other vehicles apart from Gudrun's car had been in the area in recent days, as there were no traces of other vehicles in the grass and soil at the rest area.

A week later, Karin was visited by her grandson Mikael, 12 years old, and he wanted to see the place where Karin and Hans had their encounter with the unknown. So they went there. Arriving at the rest house, Mikael found a beautiful stone. As he picked it up, they both heard a loud bang from the rest house. It sounded like someone had thrown a large rock against the wall. Both got scared and they got into the car and drove away. On the way home, Mikael said: "Grandma, the stone is trembling!". Karin picked it up and also felt how the stone vibrated. When they were home, the stone ended up on the steps to the front door. And there it remained for a long time. And the vibrations quickly died out just a few days later.

There is no answer to what it was Karin and Hans saw that night and that she and her grandchild experienced a week later. But Karin herself claimed that it was not aliens they saw, but something from a parallel reality or from other energies, and she believed that this phenomenon had to do with electromagnetism. She thought that since she was hypersensitive to electricity, she might therefore see more of the phenomenon than Hans. Maybe one day we will find out if there is anything in Karin's theory? But until then, this is yet another of many unsolved UFO cases in Sweden.

The sinister spheres in the forest.

Risør, southern Norway, August 2009.

It was the middle of the day sometime in August, and a man was out walking in the woods around Risør. Suddenly he saw two small lights floating around in the air in front of him. He was about three meters (9 feet) away from them, when they began to move and spin faster and faster until something resembling a black hole appeared. Out of the hole came a white-yellow glowing sphere that had four or five legs. The object then began to walk slowly towards the man. He ran further into the forest and tried to hide, but the sphere came after him, walking through the undergrowth and smaller trees like it was nothing. The eyewitness said he was scared for his life, and felt the only way to save himself was to confront the strange walking sphere. The man grabbed one of the legs, but then felt an electric and vibrating shock, and he was thrown away and landed on some grass some distance away. It felt like he was floating through the ground.

When the witness was out hiking in the woods he came across something terrifying. (artistic impression)

It was at this moment that he thought he heard a voice speaking what he thought was Arabic or Hebrew. The man screamed for help, and that is when he saw another man standing in the woods nearby. It was an abnormally tall man (250 cm/ 8 feet) with fair skin and blond hair. The prone man panicked as he saw three more walking glowing spheres coming up behind the tall man. Suddenly, he saw three gray creatures step out of each sphere. The man said they look like the Grays he had seen in movies. They glared angrily at him, but the tall man pointed towards the forest and it seemed he meant for them to disappear from there. When the grays were gone, he started talking to the tall man and he stated that he spent almost 8 hours with him. What the two discussed he either did not remember or did not want to elaborate any further in.

In the woods he met a strange, tall man. Behind him came three more walking and glowing spheres. (artistic impression)

Long story short, someish' 17 years ago (I'm located in South America, South Brazil) i was driving back from home from the mall in the passenger seat with my brother and mother driving. When we turned in a very stretched road, all lights suddenly went out but i didn't think much of it. Middle of the road, looked to the right towards a garage door that was illuminated and saw for 2-3 seconds something i can't explain.

Didn't see the legs, feet or hands,thr thing was complete gray and had a extremely muscularly build, had red eyes, no mouth nose or ears. It was crouched behind a garage door and had folded bat wings on its back. It was around 6`5 feet tall (2.5 meters) based on the garage door size. As soon as i saw it looked to me in the eyes with a face expression like it knew me personally. As soon as i realized it was something out of this world i stopped looking to it due to extreme fear and couldn't get a better description.

Used Photoshop and some google pics that matched it to reconstruct it:

What i saw

How it was

Know i'm not crazy cuz my brother saw it too, the encounter was so trumatic it got engraved into my brain. The only difference is that he look more to it and said it had chameleon like eyes that shinned red/orange. Any idea of what it could have been?

In my life I've seen some weird things heard some weird things like most. But I've only ever encountered shadow people one place. This occurred when I was a kid and would stay the night at my friend Corey's house. I lived in southwestern Ohio at the time, my friends house was more in the sticks his house was practically in the woods with a small crick behind it. Him and I would sleep in this second living room which was more storage really. Several times I can recall waking up in the middle of the night, I'd get the feeling we weren't alone and I noticed something darker than the dark move from behind a table to a stack of boxes. When I looked in the direction I saw 2 to 3 shadow kids darting back an forth peeking out from behind whatever objects they were running behind, they never got too close they always kept some distance. The first time I thought is dreamt it until the next night it happened again, this time I knew it was real when I saw the same 3 figures start darting around again, I had no flashlight and cell phones were still years off, so I was stuck there I tried to wake my friend but he was a deep sleeper. The next morning I told him what I'd seen an he already knew he just said to try to ignore them an keep on like you're sleeping. I'd end up seeing the 3 figures a few more times there only in that one room at very late night.

My friends property must of had some kinda weird energy or something to it, this wasn't the only weird/scary thing to happen while staying there, we also had a night where something growled and smacked a pop up camper were were staying in. This occurred from 1999 till 2002

Hey everybody👋 i was randomly suggested this subreddit by a reddit notification and after reading a couple posts and realizing there was a popular shadow person tag here, i thought i’d share my own experience from when i was a child with the entity i’ve called the “shadow girl” for as long as i can remember.

it should be said that i’m 19(M) now and all three of the events i’m about to describe happened when i was pretty young, from when i was around 6-8.

when i was younger and my parents were still married, it was me, my one older brother, my two younger sisters and my parents obviously. my dad is in a very high post-secondary educational position which he got when we were young in Winnipeg, where i still live now. as he was in the process of getting this position, we lived half of the time in winnipeg as we looked for a place to live there and half the time in a house across the US border in Pembina. We eventuallly got a house in Winnipeg, and we slowly moved into that house from the pembina house over some period of time, i don’t really remember how long, but that isn’t important.

The First Encounter: i was in the second grade when i saw her at our new(er) house. i had come home from school and very soon after, decided that i wanted to play minecraft on our family tablet, which was kept charging in my parents room on the second floor of our house. I ran up our curved staircase, and turned right immediately through the doorway of my parents room. as i entered and stood to face my parents bed, the tablet directly across the room from the foot of their bed, i saw her. i stood completely in shock. the pitch black silhouette of a young girl in a puffy dress was sitting on the foot of my parents bed, staring straight forward at the wall ahead of her. i didn’t know what to do, but i felt paralyzed. as i watched her, she ever so slowly turned her head to look at me with these saucer like white eyes. just an absence of black on her face where instead was white, those were her eyes. i slowly leaned out of my parents doorway after a couple seconds of eye contact and yelled downstairs. “Dad!…DAAAAAAD!!…” but nothing back. and so as i peaked back into the room, she was gone. just gone. i was afraid and so i stepped carefully, but still retrieved the tablet and scurried downstairs as if something were nipping at my ankles.

Pembina is a small town now, it was even smaller when i was young. in our house (which we called “the little house” or “the pembina house,” there was a (very creepy) basement, a main floor, and a second floor. my brother and i shared a room on the second floor, as did my sisters, and my parents slept in a room on the main floor.

The second Encounter: i don’t remember the context for why i was going to my room or anything or how far apart this was from the first encounter, but i rounded a corner to enter the stairwell and, i remember distinctly, i was looking at my feet on the first two steps. i looked up the stairs and froze as i saw her at the top of the stairs, again just staring at me. i-…i don’t know what had gotten into me at this time, but i was annoyed enough at this thing for showing up that i went up the stairs at a full sprint to try and catch her. i watched her as her whole body just turned, without lifting her legs, and walked so slowly around the corner and up the stairs which led to the second floor just past the corner. i made it to the top and, surprise surprise, she was nowhere. i looked in every room upstairs, and nothing. disappeared again.

The Last Encounter: this happened at our pembina house. i was a very outdoorsy kid and loved catching bugs and collecting rocks and building forts and everything, it was awesome. in our backyard, i had caught a butterfly with a glass from our kitchen, and decided that the best place to store it was in my sisters closet. under a glass. with a single branch.. my logic was that it would (a) be safe, and (2) not be found and stolen by anyone since my sisters didn’t use their closet. i slid a paper under the glass to seal the butterfly in, and i remember that the paper had a drawing i had done of the iron robot from that animated kids movie of the same name. very crudely drawn, but i remember that fun detail. anyways, the next day, i went back. up the stairs to the second floor, into my sisters closet, and, to my surprise, discovered a very dead butterfly. i was very sad and looked out my sisters window at that moment and immediately caught her gaze. she was standing, far out in our yard, very far, but she was looking up at me through the window. i put down the butterfly and slowly walked to the window, not breaking eye contact. after about a minute of her staring, she once again turned without moving her legs and almost floated off to the side, out of view behind a hedge.

To this day, i have no explanation further than her being a shadow person, and i was first introduced to that revelation in the sixth grade when i was reading a “haunted canada” book which had a story detailing a shadow person. i hope people don’t think im just making things up, as i tried to include every detail i could remember. To this day, im still scared she’s watching sometimes, but it’s just paranoia im sure, since i haven’t seen her since then.

anyways, if people liked this, i actually have a LOT more ghost encounters that my whole family has experienced after my parents divorce, which i would be happy to share.

have a great day, and thank you for reading! (if you made it this far)

It's been 10 years since this happened but the event is something which stuck with me and want to share .

In 2014 I was sent to a summercamp to study German close near the Munich alps ,the location was remote only way out was a bus stop which was on the other side of a lake located near a hotel and an abandoned church the only other builds there .the WiFi was at the time was really at it infancy in the camp while mobile signals would come and go typically you would have half a bar if lucky 1 bar . The camp was surrounded by mountains and if you wanted to get out by foot you had to hike upwards and then hike 15-20km through the thicket . The weather would change considerably quickly rain to fog to clear blue.

The summer camp had 6 staff members for a group of 30 students from ages of 13-17 I was14 at the time and was lucky with the group I had ,I would surrounded myself with a few Americans Australians and Russians who were good company but lost contact over the years .there were French and mostly Spanish students . The majority of my time there was amazing, hiking for 8 -9 through the mountains swimming in the lake and making campfires and shooting bows playing ball it was the best summer of my life . Skipping to week 2 to the event which would change the way I looked at that place even up to day . It was a very dreadful day from that morning as the rain was heavy and the wind was blowing the fog into the valley and it was max 10 degrees maybe 11 but I still can't believe we continued hiking in those conditions but no one was against it .the hike was miserable as we walked up in the elevation . But it all went well until the descending were the staff members told us we couldnt continue the hike and we need to go back .during the descend I started to get this sickening feeling of been watching but it eventually disappeared after we got back to camp,once in camp I was talking to one of the guys in my room about it but he shrugged it off and said you probably caught a cold or something. As time went on the rain had finally stopped and we were all gathering to start a campfire it was around 17:00 -18:00 . All was good and everyone was enjoying themselves . One of the guys (Mike)brought out his large lumen flashlight which lit up the forest treeline on the rightside of the camp .At this time the fog started to flood the camp and the lake but no one really cared but it looked cool from what I remembered ,some were running into the distance and back for photos .I ask the Mike if I could borrow his light. Few minutes would go by while moving the light from right to left i jokingly muttered imagine if something jump out of the woooow as I flashed the light to my left a white figure silhouette was walking towards the woodline, I shouted" Mike look look you see that !! To horror he already started shouting towards everyone to look . As everyone in the court yard looked the figure stopand turned its head revealing it's yellow glowing eyes could tell wither it was eyeshine from the light or its own glow , its arms long super log similar to an ape going down to knee level ,overall appearance was muscular but athleticly slim . The face I couldn't make out for the distance of 40 meters .it then started walking again as the staff member ran to get others as his phone didn't work. All of this happened within a few seconds as this was happening the creature looked back at the forest and ran uphill . The speed oh fuck the speed at which it ran would make the deer slow. It was fast rough estimate 40 -50 mph it could easily taken out all of us and then gotten in the building. As this happened the staff members arrived and huddled us inside and started to tell us to lock all doors and windows and to stay indoors after 18:00 The time I could imagine been at this point was 20:30 -21:00 roughly speaking . We huddled in our rooms as each member did a room check of everyone who should be inside .the night long as half of the camp started to discuss of what we saw and to puzzle it together. There were noises on the roof and tapping throughout the night but but didnt see anything as it was pitch darkness. The following morning came and the courtyard covered in small rocks and sticks thrown about the big changes were weekly timetable the hikes were all either shorted or completely canceled .the staff then made a large meeting to announce that We couldn't go outside a certain radius of the camp as we did before and we need to be in groups of 6 .to be outside .

After that even when going out and walking around everything felt off and the world seemed a lot more hostile then when I had experienced 2 weeks ago . Some called the camp short and went home others waited for the week to end I left that following week even when my mom wanted me to stay an extra week to which I declined.

Moving a year later I revisited the camp for two weeks as one I enjoyed my initial time up until the event .also if was a good language school .

once I arrived I noticed they had built an electrical fence around the hole perimeter of the camp I was unfortunate to get shocked accidently by it several times as It would turn on during the evening to early hours and turn off during the day . The staff said its to keep the cows at bay which I never seen walk in that area before and during this time .The time to go indoors was 19:00 no longer 21:00 or 22:00 like last year . Cameras were installed around the area .The groups were still a thing . Things were getting more stricker and alert . But those two weeks went by without much of happening .

If there are question i would happy answer .Sorry for the long build up and apologies for the grammar mistakes.

This happened a long time ago I was around 13-14 in north wester ga on the corner of alabama and tn (context I am now 22) I was at my stepdads house which is situated down a long driveway in the woods. there is a house just ahead of his separated by a thin veil of trees but no other houses or buildings for a good few miles on either side and the woods in the back go on for a good while so it's very isolated I had taken my dock jack out to pee (rip jack he died a while back) and as I walked down the stairs of the deck with him he stops and starts to growl whimper towards the woodline along the right side of the house I thought maybe there was a coyote or somthing so I walked towards the wood line to get a better view to see what he was freaked out by and I see somthing just barley in sight it stood a good 6- 7 feet tall and had patches of fur like mange a short snout very canine looking but kind of human like face staring at me I backed up grabbed jack ran up the stairs and locked the front door behind me I never saw it after that and it didn't make any moves other than when it was looking at me but it spooked me so bad I refused to go out side or even anywhere within the house by myself to the point I was too scared to even leave my room to use the bathroom (yes I had a few accidents I know gross embarrassing but I was a kid and freaked tf out) Now that I'm older I've started to wonder maybe I just imagined it or maybe it was missidentifyed but who knows 🤷‍♂️

Edit :I am now able to go outside and stuff now I even avidly hike and work for the state parks service now lol so don't worry about that but even now I don't like to be at my stepdads house as it gives me the creeps and always feels like somthing watching me

Hello everyone! This is my first post here and something strange happened tonight and I can’t really tell what I saw.

I was driving back from my parents house, a couple hours ago. (Around 10 pm on my local time zone) I’m from São Paulo, Brazil. And as I was driving, I saw something on the lane to my right, something that I can describe as a Streaks of White Lights. It went so fast. I thought for a millisecond that could be a Cyclist. But it’s impossible to be a Cyclist (person). This highway is one of the fastest highways in the country. Where the speed limit is 120 km/h (74 mph). But on Sunday night, where the road is clear. Drivers don’t go less then 130-140km/h (80-86mph). I was around 80mph. The lack of lights would get this cyclist killed in less than a minute. It’s a stretch that’s almost entering the city but it’s still a rural area.

So It had a Shape of Humanoid kind of it but it was just lights. White shining lights. I wasn’t alone in the car. My girlfriend was with me on the passenger seat. But she was on the phone I asked and she saw nothing.

I already had multiple encounters with the supernatural in my life, wasn’t the first time. But I got very curious of what it might be that I saw on that road.

I found the picture online. I know it’s not the best way to describe it. But by the pattern of lights / streaks it can give you guys an idea! (This picture has nothing to do with supernatural, it’s a photo art by a photographer)

This happened in Canada, British Columbia, Smithers. I can't exactly remember the year but between 2019-2023. I was walking up to the camper (we lived right beside the woods on the outskirts of town) I glanced to my side, immediately as I locked eyes with it.. dread hit me like a ton of bricks, I screamed, immediately turning away. Something was crouching under the lifted part of the camper. After I turned away I felt something touch my back and barely saw a blur run into the bush. My partner said whatever it was he saw it was roughly thirteen feet tall with gray looking skin. Any ideas on what this thing was?

I am telling this story second hand on the behalf of the person who experienced it. I was told this story in 2012 and it has always stuck with me. Now that I have recently discovered this subreddit, I wanted to share this encounter with others.

The gentleman who imparted this story to me did so after a lengthy evening of enjoying beers at the fire pit in the backyard of his at-the-time Redding CA home. He recounted the time when he was a teenager living in a nearby town called Red Bluff. He had a girlfriend who lived within walking distance of his home and he used to sneak out and head to her house in the middle of the night. He recalled how the road he would walk to her place spanned a rural distance before reaching her neighborhood.

On one occasion he was making his way back home early in the morning after visiting his girlfriend. It was still very much nighttime as he was walking along the road. At this particular section, the road passed through the long dark section of rural span only to be momentarily lit by the infrequent passing of car headlights.

It was dark and quiet as he walked when he noticed the sound of what must have been footsteps following behind him. He was immediately made uncomfortable. It was not uncommon for drugged derelicts and transients to be wandering at this time of night in this area. These would be characters you would certainly not want anything to do with at this time of night, at this location.

He increased his pace yet the footsteps seemed to remain just as assuredly behind him as before. His discomfort began to elevate to panic. Suddenly a car was heading toward him on the desolate road. He knew as the headlights passed, he would have a chance to see who was following him.

The moment came and he turned to see what this crackhead wandering in the night might look like but what he saw was nothing of the sort.

-HUMANOID-

He explained to me what he could only describe as what looked like a large Great Dane walking upright on its hind legs. I believe he did say it looked like the creature had a snout. He said the skin looked grey, pale and hairless and it was very skinny to the point where you could see its skeleton underneath. The most memorable detail he kept recalling though was the way in which its rib cage protruded just like that of a Great Dane.

The rest of the story is short. What he saw terrified him and he started sprinting and didn't stop until he reached the nearest lit area he could find, which was a random parking lot. He stood there terrified until the sun came up, walked the rest of the way home and never went down that road at night again.

Just a thing that's been on my mind since its happened, at the time of this posting this it has been a while. This happened on August 27th, 2024 in the state of Oklahoma in the US.

(Was told to add this to a few other threads from my original post, so here we go!)

So, some context, I live in a rural area that is currently being made into a big town. New stores, new neighborhoods, the whole nine. Its still in the early days so its all in construction, so my neighborhood still has woodlands on one side and just open land for a few miles on another. Since the first night I've come out here I've always felt like im being watched if im outside. Sometimes its not as direct, as if its acknowledging my presence but I'm not its priority, if that makes sense. But other times it felt I was the only thing it was looking at. Especially at night. And I've done the dumb things as challenging it by walking further out into my tree scattered yard, blocking the moonlight in places. Although some of those times were on purpose, i had to feel comfortable walking into my own backyard. So each time i did, i stayed longer, and further out until i finally got freaked out and went back inside. The entire time i state my intent, wether im just going to retrieve something or simply saying I'm only walking because this is my backyard, but that i mean no disrespect. I even began to say that I respected its presence and i dont mind it staying, but i dont appreciate it trying to make me feel scared in my own home. While i acknowledge this was its home first, my situation was not one of choice of me living here specifically. I made this known every time i felt its presence prioritize me.

This has been happening for a while now. But its threatening/protective presence began to fade and it was more of a curiosity. At least it felt that eay to me, i may be misinterpreting it, but the threat and fear presence started to go away. And while it started out happening only at night, i began to feel it around me during the day. When this started happening i started finding feathers on the ground. While yes i live where a lot of birds are, i haven't found any in the time I've been living here until this happened. Each time i was genuinely ecstatic to find one. It started out with just one or two a day, and then increased to about 10 a day. I have a full jar full of feathers now. It was blue jays mostly for a while, and then others started appearing. I literally turned around and an owl feather was floating in the air in front of me. I just stared at it while it landed soflty on the ground. This was my absolute favorite one to find so far. Even trunping the raven and juvenile hawk feather i have. After finding the one owl feather, i found about 5 smaller tuffs of owl feathers the next day. This continued happening for a few months with the bluejay feathers. And as its begun to trun colder, there are less birds.

One day, a couple weeks after the owl feathers, i was taking my dogs outside and was just walking through the yard, talking to my dogs, as any slightly sane person does, and i felt its presence again. I smiled, because at this point its become familiar and I enjoy it. Well out of the corner of my eye something moves. While i have always felt its presence, i have never had such a physical reaction as i did when i turned to watch this figure step out behind a tree on the opposite end of the yard than me. I feel the goosebumps form on my arm as if ice had just been brushed across them. Every single hair on my arms, neck, back of my head stood. I stared had trouble understanding what i was seeing for a second.

Across the yard stood s figure with furs drapped acreos them, and hide clothes, they had bones and sticks tied in places, and on their head sat a skull with the biggest antlers I've ever seen. They're eyes laid behind the sockets, as if wearing it as a mask. It locked eyes with me, nodded and took a step and disappeared. Two of my dogs were barking st something across the stree while my 3rd, who is very independent and doesn't like to cuddle, watched this thing, and stepped closer to me. So i know i saw it, because my dog acknowledged it. But its still throwing me for a loop.

Edit: as I answer or reply to comments I've realized more has happened than i thought. After the night of seeing said entity, i would hear coyotes every time i went outside for about a week straight. But one night definitely stood out. My partner had come home late from work, and we did our usual routine of, make food, and then step out for a smoke and let the dogs out. Well we did this, but this time we kept the dogs on a leash, we normally don't but for some reason we did, I don't remember why now. It was quiet while we walked the dogs, let them do their business, and as usual i felt eyes on me. Now at this point I'm somewhat used to it so i acknowledge it and say I'm just letting my dog go to the bathroom and I'll go back to my porch. But when i said this, the feeling of getting to the porch got urgent. Which hasn't happened in months. This confused me and i tried to shake it off and repeat what i said but then something fell around the trees on the opposite side of the yard. Of course me and my dog looked up and over. Immediately there was this little whisper of a thought that said "Porch." And so we made our way back. More things kept snapping or falling but it didn't feel as dangerous anymore. We waited a bit and it stopped and we finally relaxed. My partner and i stood while we talked, just enjoying the stars when the coyotes started going. Usually they're like a mile away but this sounded just on the other side of the fence. Now i know they weren't right there but that's how loud it was. They've never been this close before. They sounded angry too, like they had something surrounded. I had a sense of worry, but also just in awe at the sounds of nature. I felt bad for whatever poor creature they had, but there was something beautiful about nature still happening as construction takes place around it.

After it got silent there was a bird call, it was far away and I dont have the best hearing so i couldn't tell what it was. But it stuck in the back of my mind as we talked. After a moment it happened again, but this time i could make out the deeper tones in it. A few more moments and i knew it, it was an owl. And at this point i realize it's getting closer. Now I've heard it before, and obviously i have owl feathers, but i never heard when its near. We stopped talking and just listened as it went from tree to tree, closer into our yard until it was on the edge of the closest one. I listened to it for what seemed like forever but it was about 10-15 mins? It just sat there, calling out every now and then. Things began to snap on the other side of the yard and my dog began to growl. I kept her calm but her fur bristled. The owl called out again before diving at something and then taking off. After this we absolutely went inside haha.

Another thing I've noticed, like I've stated in a comment, was that since coming here, animals of all kinds seem to find me or be near me when they take their last breaths. It first happened with a snake. My dog found it, didn't touch it. I picked it up seeing it had an injury and went to look at it, it moved a little and then stopped breathing. I teared up and took it to our fire pit as we were going to have a bonfire soon. I wanted to give it a little moment ya know? After this incident, it started happening with spiders, and a lizard, and then recently a moth with a deformed wing. I brought the moth inside, gave it a slice of apple and let it eat off of it and set it on a log with some moss inside. I checked back later and it had passed. This doesn't happen often but often enough I've noticed it.

Gonna try to keep this short.

Some years ago I was in my studio apartment in Miami, FL (maybe 2015 - 16ish) and I was trying to sleep because i had work the next day. I wasn't tired, more so just forcing myself. When i was kid i would sleep with covers over my head for comfort but as an adult i've kind of stopped this. Anyway this particular night i had the covers over my head for 15 mins to try to sleep but was still wide awake. After about 15 mins, i had this feeling like something was behind me. It wasn't physical, it was a mental intuition. I take the cover off, turn my head and boom! Maybe like 6 inches away from my face, this blueish translucent figure is creeping over me, its head near my head. It has 6 white eyes no pupils, and head shape was not normal, I cant remember what is was though. After about 1.5 sec of me staring at it in a WTF stare it shapeshifts into - me?! or what i think looked like me but bald and still blueish transparent. I told my girlfriend the other day it looked like the silver surfer. I get up, as soon as i start movement this thing shifts toward my hallway, so i start running after it, it looks behind it while it runs and boom! The figure vanishes or disperses through the door! I had never seen anything like it and after that experience, something weird did happen that was similar but not like that.

Keep in mind i was not scared at all, but i was intrigued and wanted to know why it was here and i've never seen anything like this or believe in ghosts. I do believe aliens or entities that defy laws of the universe exist, and ive always been fascinated with space, ufo, aliens, disbanded military projects, etc. as a kid and would read a ton of books about it. Also want to say i was fully awake and I KNOW WHAT I SAW, shit was mad weird. I even turned the lights on and had a damn 10 min convo with myself. I was literally saying, "just remember, you weren't asleep, you weren't tired, and fully awake, never forget, you saw what you actually saw, this was fucking real as it gets"

I've only told my girlfirend and the other day i tell my mom for the first time cause i think other people would think i'm crazy. She tells me her story of when she was 5, she saw a man made of static, tv snow. I have no choice but to believe her cause of my experience. I don't really believe in ghosts, however i believe that if the universe is so big, that it would be akin to being just a part of an atom thats part of some mass(Think "Antman - Quantumania"), then it would be foolish to think we are the only intelligent life.

Anyways, anyone ever see something like this?

So I recently moved to Wisconsin and wanted to explore the backcountry 2 falls ago, so I took a trip from the south to Superior mostly off road and on fire roads and whatnot. On my 2nd night, I was in the northwoods and it was getting late, so I was on a backroad in heavy heavy forest and decided to find a spot to sleep in my truck. I went down a dirt road, probably 2 miles or so down the dirt road. At this point, it was very dark, roughly 8pm and absolutely no one for miles. I found a trail in the forest and drove about 100ft into the woods and parked, completely concealed from the dirt road I was just on. I got out to assess the area, but could not see anything as it was completely dark. I got back in the truck and setup for the night. About an hour into watching a movie on my phone, I heard a sound that sounded like a woman screaming and my dog heard it too. I grabbed my pistol, turned on all my lights and opened the door to see what it was. Mind you, absolutely no one knew that I was out there and was far far from civilization. I didn't see anyone or hear anyone, so i ducked back into my truck. I was a little freaked, but figured it was wildlife....idk, i rationalized it. About an hour later, I was falling asleep and felt my truck move as if someone pushed on it. Again, my dog woke up too, so i knew that it wasn't my imagination. I did not turn on any lights or make a sound, but my dog seemed uneasy. I told myself that if I heard anything else, I would get outta dodge. Well, I ended up falling asleep and around midnight I woke up to my dog growling and it happened again! I put on my boots and hopped in the drivers seat and got out of there. As I was driving out, I went around a corner on the dirt road and Im not sure if it was my imagination or what, but I swear I saw a tall skinny thing running off the road as I came around the corner. It took about 30mins to get down the road because I continued down the original dirt road and did not go back the way I came. By this point, it was raining pretty hard and I did not feel comfortable being anywhere dark. I drove an hour and finally found a gas station and ended up staying the night there. I have never been so scared in my life and It takes a lot to get me feeling that way. I dont know what it was, but I know it was not human whatever was out there. I know that much.

San Diego is a very haunted place!

Last night my nanny was walking with a couple friends at 2 AM near fanuel park/on the boardwalk of Sail bay., Her and her friend saw a woman Walking near a large tree at the park. The woman had a large black dog that was ribcage height, he was walking next to her & she was completely bent over/hunched at the waist while still walking, wearing all black, had a ghastly appearance and had long black hair dangling at her side towards the ground.

The woman slightly turned her head cockeyed at my nanny while still remaining bent over & walking. She had no face/it was black. My nanny felt bad energy and also felt cold when passing the woman.

My first thought was, perhaps it’s a homeless person on the drug TRANQ (it causes users to haunch over at the waist) 😅. But my nanny & her friend said no, this was no human. Other relevant information, my nanny does not drink nor do drugs.

I’m wondering if maybe there was possibly a suicide in this area? I know the stories of Kate Morgan and hotel Coronado, this seems very similar to Kate’s appearance and I’m wondering if something sinister may have taken place here.

Also wondering what the large dog could be who was accompanying the woman

This is a long shot and I can’t believe I am in this subreddit after a personal experience. It was last year on Union Hills and 16th street where I was driving along to the freeway and out of nowhere a lemur humanoid ran across the road. I wouldn’t even say he “ran” it was more like he awkwardly strode across in a fast walk as it was pretty tall, about 5-6 feet tall. I have looked up any sightings that could lead to some resemblance of what I saw, but turned up nothing. It looked closest to an Indri lemur.

Keep in mind, I’ve never believed in any sort of strange phenomena prior to this.

If anyone has any similar experience in the area, or at all, please corroborate with me here.

Edit: This happened in Phoenix, Arizona and it was about 12 am April of 2023.

⚠️SERIOUS ANSWERS ONLY!!! ⚠️This morning, September 17th at about 5:20 am in Connecticut USA. I was walking to my friend’s house before school. There was this hedge type bush and I saw a face in it. It was really dark outside considering the time, so I shoved my phone flashlight in there. And when I did I saw this thing lunge at me grab me by the shoulders and then disappear into thin air. This thing was about my high (5’9” ) crouching in said bush. It was all black with long skinny fingers, bone like almost. And really long skinny/ sharp teeth. When it touched me I felt a chill go down my back almost like when you get cold out of no where and just shake. After it had touched me I felt really tingly and off, almost like I wasn’t really on earth anymore, but still there if that makes any sense. I promise I’m not on any drugs I just want to know if I’m being possessed.

Here is the next installment in the Nordic Humanoid series. As usual 4 reports from Finland, Denmark Sweden and Norway. Well, almost 4.5 cases this time, since we have an anectdotal story to one of the cases. Enjoy!

Strange robots in the forest.

Near Saarijärvi, middle of Finland, November 29 1939.

It is around 5 pm and 14-year old Arvo is out in the forest collecting firewood together with his father. It is getting dark soon and they decide to go home. They have only been walking for a few minutes when they spot something on the right side of the path. On a small rocky hill about 70 meters (75 yards) away, they discover a strange metallic object. They think it might be a moonshining device. Arvo, who has never seen one wants to go and have a look, but his father says no. It can be dangerous. So they observe the object from a distance instead.

The object is partially covered by small trees, but they estimate it to be 4 meters (12 feet) in diameter. It has a conical shape and is wide at the bottom and tapering at the top. The height can probably be about 2.5 meters (7.5 feet). It stands on three long landing legs (each leg consists of 2-3 rods). They now think the object looks more like a craft of some kind. And below, they see an almost 1.5 meter (4.5 feet) long flame shoot out from the bottom. It almost resembles a welding flame. From the lower part there are also 5 – 6 smaller, different colored flames coming out 45 degrees from the hull. They are 0.5 – 1 meter (1.5 – 3 feet) long. The sound coming from these flames is similar to the sound of gas seeping out. Both father and son are now very curious and walk a little further towards the object.

What they thought was a moonshining device hidden in the forest, turned out to be a strange craft. (artistic impression)

When they got a little closer, they hear strange noises from something moving and they get a little worried. They now see that they are not alone. In front of the craft stands a human or humanoid. He is about the height of a grown man. Or maybe a little shorter. He is dressed in a light gray jumpsuit, almost like one worn by astronauts. On his head he has a full-face helmet with a black oval visor. The humanoid also carries a box with flashing lights. Next to him, Arvo and his father see something they only thought existed in books, 2-3 robot-like creatures. When they walk, they lift their legs high and Arvo can see that their legs are thin rods ending in a plate that appears to be their feet. It looks like the humanoid is controlling the robots from his box. The father and Arvo have a hard time seeing what they doing, since it is dusk and there are a lot of trees in the way. It doesn't seem like the strange visitors have seen them and Arvo and his father are starting to get a little scared now and carefully sneak away and then quickly head home.

Arvo and his father only thought robots existed in books and movies, but here they were in front of them. (artistic impression)

The next day the Red Army crosses the Finnish border and the country is at war with the Soviet Union. The Winter War has begun. But despite this, Arvo still wants to go back to the place where they saw the craft and the strange creatures. His father protests and forbids it, but Arvo goes there anyway. At the landing site, he discovers triangular marks from the craft's legs and a disgusting, unpleasant smell lingers in the area.

This strange story was reported to Finnish UFO investigators many years later, which you notice when they are talking about Astronaut suits, which didn’t exits 1939.

The waving humanoids in the spaceship.

Cape Zealand, Denmark, January 18 1967.

This detailed observation was made by children, two boys, Tage 9 years old and Jesper 7 years. But mostly it was Jesper who saw the whole course of events. It was a winter day in January in the afternoon at 4.40 pm and Jesper was outside playing, together with his little sister aged 4 and the neighbor's boy Tage. Jesper looked after his sister when the parents were not at home. The family lived on a farm at the tip of Cape Zealand and next to a minor road that was never very busy. The children were playing on a pile of hay that was next to the road. From the mound they had a good view over the road and down towards the sea that lay between Denmark and Sweden (Kattegatt). This day it was chilly and with a light wind from the west. The clouds were at about 275-300 m (900 feet). Visibility was relatively good and the temperature about 1 °C (33.8 F). There was also no snow on the ground despite the time of year, as it was near the sea.

When it began to get dark, Tage wanted go home. But just about then he looked up into the sky out at the sea and caught sight of a dark-grey object. It had irregular contours and a downward-curving "tail" (A). Tage was frightened by what he saw and shouted to the other children: "Watch out, there's a tornado coming! It is dangerous!” and then he ran home. The little sister was also frightened and ran inside. Jesper, on the other hand, was not afraid, but he hid in a ditch next to the road just to be safe. From there he had good visibility. He now followed the object and it traveled in the same direction east to west out over Kattegat. The object had now come closer and taken a different shape. It now looked more like a dark sphere with a luminous corona around it. Jesper could also see two yellow beams of light coming from the underside and which were angled outwards. The light beams were also abruptly interrupted in a strange way, and not like a normal light that fades out. (B)

At first the object looked like a dark ball with a tail. (source: UFO-Nyt)

The object had now also come down at a lower altitude. Suddenly it turned almost 90 degrees towards Jesper and came in from the sea and headed for a small hill which is behind Tages parents house. Now Jesper could make out more of the object and began to see that it resembled a strange craft. It had an orange, faint glow around it and in the middle it had a kind of long oblong window and the strange beams of light came from each side of it. The light rays had now taken on a more blue-green color. The window looked like it was made of glass and there was a blue light coming from it, but it was impossible to see through. On both sides the craft had a lot of strange antennae of different shapes. On one side the antennae protruded further than on the other side and had a yellow ball. The boy thought they looked similar to TV antennas that you have on top of houses. (C)

When it got a little closer the object changed shape. (source: UFO-Nyt)

As the craft got closer, three legs were lowered from its underside and it almost looked like it was going to land, but when it was a meter above the ground, the legs went in and the craft continued upwards a little. It now also swung and steered out to sea again at a low altitude. All the while the craft wobbled a little in a strange way. But when it came across the beach, something strange happened. A black substance came out from the underside of the craft down over the beach.

Close up the boy could now see that it looked like a craft. (Source: UFO-Nyt)

Over the beach or if it was a short distance out over the water, the craft now made a sharp turn. At the same time, a kind of square metal basket was lowered from the underside. It appeared to be suspended by a thick, heavy-duty cable or metal stay, and the basket did not sway during the maneuvers of the craft. When the basket was down, a hatch was opened at the bottom of the craft and eight "people" climbed down from the cable/stay. First came one, then came the rest, and they quickly climbed down into the basket, two by two. The object had now completed its 180 degree turn and was heading straight for the ditch where Jesper was. Some of the "people" bent down and picked up something from the bottom of the basket. When they got up again, they had something like binoculars or cameras in their hands, and when they got closer to where Jesper was hiding, the "people" looked at him with these devices. When they were almost at the yard where Jesper lived, he could see them clearly and he saw that they were smiling and that they were making a sideways motion with their hand back and forth that looked like a wave to him. Jesper didn't wave back, but just nodded to them. The boy was not afraid during the incident "because they looked so kind and friendly", he later told his mother.

A steel basket was lowered and \"people\" climed down from the craft. (Source: Hiddenmark)

When the craft passed with the basket about 1 meter (3 feet) above the ground, hardly any sound was heard. Just a slight electrical buzz, kind of like a tape player running with a blank tape. When it was close, Jesper could also make out that there were some signs on the hull under the window. The first was similar to a combined B and H. He couldn't quite remember the other characters, so he mostly guessed. After the craft passed by, 7 of the 8 "people climbed up through the bottom hatch and disappeared. The last "person" remained in the basket when it was hoisted into the craft. It continued at low altitude in the direction of Overby church until it disappeared from view.

The "people" in the basket, Jesper described as smaller than a grown up human. Rather in height as a child about 120 cm (4 feet). But he did not get the impression that they were children, but that they were adults. All had long faces and long noses. Seven of the "persons" were short-cut and had blond hair. The eighth had slightly longer shoulder-length brown hair. Jesper got the impression that this was a woman. The "people" also had different clothes. The one who climbed down first (and was also the last one left) had blue clothes. He seemed to be some kind of officer. The others were dressed in a tight-fitting full-length jumpsuit with blue, white and red horizontal stripes. All the "persons" were wearing blue caps, similar to old-fashioned ship's caps. Except for the man in blue, everyone carried some kind of container on their back. The containers looked almost a little transparent. From the tubes, a hose went over the shoulders to the mouth. Over the mouth it looked like they had some kind of mouthpiece. When they brought out the devices like the “binoculars” or “cameras”, they removed the mouthpiece. The man with the blue clothes also had some angular glasses over his eyes. Another strange detail was that everyone had some kind of light attached to each shoulder. It almost looked like a flashlight, although it had light at both ends.

Artistic impression of the visitors investigating another beach in Denmark, before showing up on the tip of Zealand.

It was a very detailed story that the UFO investigators received from Jesper a month after the events. And it matched well with what his mother wrote down the day after the sighting. Unfortunately, no remains of the black slag that the craft dropped on the beach were found. Since no other people saw the incident either, only Jesper's own testimony was available. Of course, no one could guarantee that what the boy told was true or that he was just making it up, but he was very sure on most points and he gave a positive and honest impression, and he himself insisted that he was not lying. Jesper is very careful to point out that there was no helicopter or airplane that he saw. His father was in the local Home Guard Air Force and could attest that the boy had a good knowledge of airplanes. Neither Jesper nor anyone else in the family was very familiar with the UFO phenomenon. So we can only choose to take Jesper at his word or not. It's a fascinating and interesting story nevertheless and it is one of Denmark´s more famous cases.

The mysterious people on the ice.

Lake Pojjujaure, northen Sweden, February 27 1977.

It was a fine, clear winter day in February and Sami reindeer owner Nils-Tomas Labba drove his snowmobile along the river Lainio towards Lake Pojjujaure. He was on his way to his reindeer herd, which was somewhere in the area. About 10 o'clock in the morning he arrived at the frozen lake. In the distance he saw some people, who were out walking on the lake, but he couldn't really see how many there were. He thought it was a little strange with people out here, since this was out in the middle of nowhere. Maybe they were fishing on the ice or skiing? He thought no more of it, and continued his journey.

When Nils-Tomas got closer to the shore of the lake, he could still see the people and now count them to four. He saw nothing strange about them, at this distance. He now stopped his snowmobile near the shore and turned off the engine. On the ice a couple of hundred meters (couple of hundred yards) out on the lake, he could see four people walking, who were similarly dressed in brown overalls. Or could they have been military green? (Nils-Tomas could not remember clearly about this). They were too far out to see their faces, but he thought they looked like normal people and thought they might be soldiers on some sort of exercise. He says he was 100% sure he saw the people out there.

The reindeer owner Nils-Tomas Labba saw four people on the ice. He thought it was a little strange that they were here so far out in the wilderness. (artistic impression)

When the people out on the ice see Nils-Tomas, they start walking to the left towards the beach further away. They walk parallell to the shore for a short while and then "Poof", they suddenly went up in smoke. Nils-Tomas thought they were coming towards him, so he could see who they were, but they just disappeared into thin air. A few seconds later, the air begins to vibrate in a strange way at the place where the people disappeared and then he could see how the pulsating "air tremble" rose above the ground and then took off and went up and away to the northeast. It was quite slow for the "air tremble" to disappear, approximately at helicopter speed, Nils-Tomas remembers. When it was gone, he remained on his snowmobile with stinging eyes and a surprised expression.

Nils-Tomas imagined that he might have seen something solid inside the “air tremble”, and the object or "ship" appeared to be on the border of the material. He thought it seemed round, but it had no sharp edges. He also thinks that it was difficult to determine the dimensions of the "air tremble" and estimates that it could be anything between 5 (15) to 20 meters (60 feet) wide. When Nils-Tomas returned to the place, after visiting his reindeer herd, he found no traces of what had happened.

Nils-Tomas Labba passed away in 2011, but his son Lars-Thomas remembers this day clearly. He tells that he was 18 years old and his father came home very upset and shaken on the evening, almost on the verge of being scared. He had never seen him like this before. His father was not the kind of person who got excited and nervous easily. When Nils-Tomas later told others in the village about what he had experienced, no one laughed at him. They did not believe that he was lying when he said that he had seen aliens, but they believed instead that what he saw was actually some kind of phantoms or doppelgangers, supernatural creatures that in Sami traditional tales are called "Haldi".

The kids and the small playmates from space.

Hønefoss, Southern Norway, October 28 1985.

This strange incident was witnessed and retold by about a dozen children between the age of 7 to 12 years old. The kids who were involved were Håvard (9), Rasmus (10), Rune (8), May (11), Helene (10), Freddy (7), Lars (10), Pål (9) and others and they were out playing in the neighbourhood were they lived in the Henglse area in the town of Hønefoss.

This Monday night it was supposed to be a lunar eclipse and a lot of kids were out to watch it. The area in which the children played consisted of a small quiet street with scattered residential houses with gardens and surrounding forest areas framed by a hill with trees on the east side. There was also a grass lot next door, which they used to kick soccer on and a small playground next to it. It was about 5.45 pm when they saw an unusual light in the sky. It was approaching rapidly from the northeast. As it got closer to the ground, they saw that it was an object like two plates placed against each other, and it was gray-metallic in color and the size of a house garage. The "spaceship" as the children called it, had a large, bright light on the bottom and several smaller, dimmer ones on the side. One of the kids (Håvard) who was on the grass lot, had a flashlight with him which he picked up and shone on the hovering, silent craft. The distance to the object was about 200 meters (220 yards) and at about a 45 degree angle up from the ground. As an answer, a very strong beam of light suddenly came down from the craft towards the children. As it was much stronger than a car's headlights, the children were dazzled. The light only came on for a second or so, then it went out and the craft then began to rise silently upwards, slowly at first and then faster and faster until it disappeared.

One of the boys were shining with a flashlight towards the craft. A beam then came back towards the kids. (artistic impression)

Almost at the same moment that the craft disappeared, a lot of small 50 cm (1.7 feet) tall creatures appeared around the grass lot and at the edges of the forest. There were very many of them, perhaps upwards of a hundred. They tried to run away from the kids and were very fast. The creatures had different colors of clothing, some were brown, others were black, some were maybe even white. It also looked like they had square helmets on their heads. In the middle of the helmets, two white-yellow eyes shone, something that frightened the children. Their hands had fingers like us humans. How many fingers they had could not be perceived. When the creatures walked or ran, they moved stiffly and in a slightly crouched position. The mysterious creatures were observed until about 9 pm. The children and the creatures spied on each other in a fairly large area around Hengsleveien (Henglse road). In the playground by the grass lot, one of the kids lit a flashlight and shone it at the creatures, but then they got scared and ran into the bushes or the forest and hid. They didn't seem to like bright light. A boy also tried to take pictures of them with a camera, but even then the creatures hid. Now and then the children could hear the creatures mumbling to each other in some incomprehensible language. During the incident, some of the younger children got scared and ran home and told their parents, wanting them to come out to see for themselves. But the parents just thought the kids were making it up and unfortunately didn't come out to check. Even a middle-aged man who was out jogging on Hengsleveien at 6 pm saw something mysterious, as some creatures ran across the road in front of him. But the man couldn't quite make out what kind of dark creature it was and therefore thought it was just cats running past.

Suddenly small creatures with glowing eyes showed up in the bushes near the kids. (artistic impression)

Afterwards, strange footprints were discovered in the Andersen family's garden on Hengsleveien. The footprints were very small, about 7 - 11 cm (2.75 - 4.3 inches), and had a slightly different shape. Andersen's dog went completely wild when it smelled the tracks, and then ran further into the garden and hid. The dog also destroyed a lot of the tracks as it jumped around, so that the prints could not be registered completely. Unfortunately, no soil samples were taken from the tracks for analysis either.

The footprints they found. (source: UFO #1 1986)

The "spaceship" as the kids called it, was observed two or three more times during the evening. Even these times it came from the northeast. It was visible for no more than half a minute, and then it quickly disappeared into the sky to the southwest. The same behavior every time it was observed. When the UFO investigators asked the children about the altitude of the saucer, they said it varied anywhere from 100-200 m (400-600 feet) to just below the clouds. They were at about 1000 meters (3000 feet) this evening. What was strange was that every time the "spaceship" was visible in the sky, the creatures were gone. No landing of the craft was ever observed either. In a larger grass field in another part of the residential area, some days later, some of the boys saw a small circle of 2-3 meters (6-9 feet) of depressed grass, but it was unclear what caused it and if it had anything to do with the incident from the 28th of October. The craft was also observed by the children in the area for a few more evenings to come for more than two weeks. The last time it was seen was the evening of November 14th.

Later in the evening on October 28, several of the children felt unwell, with dizziness and headaches etc. And the UFO researchers speculated that a possible cause could be the bright light that the children received in the face from the "spaceship". The children in the area were very excited and engaged by what happened several days afterwards and made drawings of creatures and "spaceships" and discussed it a lot among themselves and with the adults. Some of the kids seemed worried for a long time, while others joked a little about it and some of the biggest boys even thought what had happened was a little cool. However, the parents noticed that something must have happened, because many of the children were not themselves and were in shock, although some tried to keep up appearances by claiming that they were not afraid at all.

The children all made similar drawings of the creatures. (source: UFO #1 1986)

The report on this strange case is based entirely on the children's own stories, and even if they diverge a little here and there, they are pretty much the same. Even the drawings on the creatures are similar. But you have to consider that the children have had time to discuss the incident with each other in the days before they were interviewed by the UFO investigators. The first thought you have when you hear a fantastic story like this is that it is made up, especially when there are children involved. But should a story like this be dismissed just because it comes from children? No, of course it shouldn't. It is important to hear what children tell too. And it doesn't have to be made up because it comes from children. They can also experience supernatural events. But you still can not get rid of the idea that children's lively imaginations can play tricks on us.

The case above is not the only close contact around Hønefoss. A lot has happened here. Another interesting incident occurred a few years earlier. Could it be related?

It was Tuesday, October 25, 1977 and it was about 5 pm and it was dusk outside. The 14-year-old boys Johnny Myhr and Frank Sverre Mandt were on their way from school in the community of Åsbygda just outside Hønefoss, when they saw something strange that they would never forget. Shaken and shocked, they ran back into the school again and told the staff what they had seen.

Just outside of the school they had seen a flying craft gliding slowly and soundlessly over a nearby field at low altitude. About 100 meters (110 yards) northeast of the school, the craft stopped and descended for landing in the newly plowed field. But after about 10 seconds the craft took off again and headed upwards and quickly disappeared over the ridge. The boys said the object was saucer-shaped and light green. Underneath, three landing legs were deployed. Around the center of the object were lots of lighted windows. In one of these they saw the silhouette of a humanoid moving. They couldn't see what the being looked like, but they had a strong feeling that it was staring right at the boys.

The craft the boys saw landing in the field. (illustration: Chris B. Vos)

The principal says that he felt that the boys were shaken and scared when they told the story and he is sure that they experienced something that scared them. But what they saw was difficult to say, as he himself was not there*. "But there were at least three mysterious marks on the field afterwards. And if it was a helicopter that landed and took off so close to the school, we and others who live near the school should have heard it very clearly",* said the Principal.

After investigating the area and interviewing the 14-year-old boys, the Norwegian UFO Center was able to state that the young people seemed very credible and intelligent. It was clear that they had experienced something and were not making it up. The prints on the field were made by a heavy object and they were in a triangular shape. There was approximately 6.6 meters (20 feet) between the footprints of the landing legs. The tracks left by the "feet" were about 36 x 10 cm (14.2 x 3.9 inches) and they were about 10 cm (4 inches) deep. The investigators tried to make their own tracks similar to the feet, but it was not entirely easy to get it the same. An elevated acidity was measured in the tracks in the field (something similar was recorded at another alleged landing in Norway). Other witnesses in the area also claim to have seen an unknown craft nearby, and no helicopter had flown in the area either.

Anecdote: This event occurred only a week or so after three humanoids and their craft were seen at the remote Hemliden Relay Station in the middle of neighboring Sweden.

This experience is one I never shared with anyone besides my brother. When I was about 13 year I was living in rural BC. One night I was in the hot tub on the deck outside just watching the woods, taking in the silence, it was winter time and we just recently had a snowfall that left around knee height deep of snow.

It was around 2-3am and out of nowhere this very large wolf, bigger than one I have ever seen by far came out of the woods. I remember its coat being a shimmering silver and its bright piercing green eyes.

As this wolf was walking along the fence of our paddocks it locked eyes with mine and we just kinda stared at each other as he walked past me, both alone in the middle of the night, in the middle of nowhere. What happened next till this day instantly makes my spin shiver, as the wolf walked past he walked towards our barn with our horses in it. It became darker as it entered the barn but the other side of the barn still had a bright light illuminating the outside that I could clearly see. This wolf as it entered, half way through it went from the shape of a wolf to a very large, broad shouldered person. The horses didn’t make a single sound and this person that now stood roughly 7 feet tall rounded the corner towards the open field but didn’t emerge from the other side and I never saw it again.

My brother had his own encounter with this same wolf I’m guessing, he told me that he woke up randomly one night from the feeling of being watched. He then looked out his window too see a very large wolf walking away from his window so I’m guessing it was watching him sleep.

This place we lived at was old native ground, our barn was an old school house where the catholic priest would put the native children and teach them lessons on Christ, it even had the old desk and chairs inside still. My brother and I both saw children’s faces in the panes of glass from that barn and lights turning on randomly. We had closet doors slam repeatedly for minutes at a time, footsteps and feelings of being watched. In my room I saw glowing red eyes on the ceiling and I hid under my covers till morning.

Anyways my main subject of this post and what I’m more seeking answers for is what did I encounter outside in the middle of the night. After I looked around myself the closest thing I could find was Skin-walkers or Wendigos but from I read these creatures have deformed features or things that make them uncanny or straight up horrific. What I saw, nothing struck me as abnormal about this wolf besides its massive size until it literally changed its entire form infront of me.

I know this is a long winded read, sorry I’m not a great story teller and there’s just so much that I experienced at this property that this just scratches the surface to everything, the wolf incident is just something I’ve never really been able to grasp and always wanted some kind of answer because it feels and sounds unbelievable. I also understand that the term skinwalker is Navajo lore and doesn’t correlate with BC tribes but this is just a representation of what I saw with the closest accuracy.
