very tall thin mantis-like humanoid

8
00:00:38,490 --> 00:00:36,130
encountered in Chicago's Schiller Park

9
00:00:41,730 --> 00:00:38,500
my boyfriend and I were at Schiller

10
00:00:43,950 --> 00:00:41,740
woods on Sunday December 23rd we

11
00:00:46,020 --> 00:00:43,960
conducting doing his small Wiccan ritual

12
00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:46,030
in the woods when we saw large thin men

13
00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:47,770
appear out of the woods and start

14
00:00:53,340 --> 00:00:50,650
staring us down the man was extremely

15
00:00:56,580 --> 00:00:53,350
tall about 7 to 8 feet tall and very

16
00:00:58,770 --> 00:00:56,590
very thin he was easily half the size of

17
00:01:01,440 --> 00:00:58,780
my boyfriend and his arms hung down

18
00:01:03,540 --> 00:01:01,450
toward his knees at first I was like

19
00:01:05,790 --> 00:01:03,550
holy crap its Slenderman

20
00:01:08,010 --> 00:01:05,800
but I quickly realized that it did not

21
00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:08,020
look like any man I have ever seen

22
00:01:13,620 --> 00:01:10,690
first off his eyes were huge almost

23
00:01:16,320 --> 00:01:13,630
looked like a praying mantises eyes just

24
00:01:18,420 --> 00:01:16,330
jet-black he was wearing coveralls that

25
00:01:20,490 --> 00:01:18,430
were gray in color and he looked like he

26
00:01:21,210 --> 00:01:20,500
was carrying a wand of some sword in his

27
00:01:23,790 --> 00:01:21,220
right hand

28
00:01:26,460 --> 00:01:23,800
my boyfriend and I didn't feel scared

29
00:01:28,770 --> 00:01:26,470
just a little shaken up we stood there

30
00:01:30,660 --> 00:01:28,780
staring at each other for about a minute

31
00:01:33,450 --> 00:01:30,670
before it stepped behind some trees and

32
00:01:35,789 --> 00:01:33,460
disappeared once we lost sight of him

33
00:01:37,410 --> 00:01:35,799
that is when the fear set in and we got

34
00:01:40,469 --> 00:01:37,420
out of those woods as quickly as we

35
00:01:42,420 --> 00:01:40,479
could we were both sober fiallo we had

36
00:01:45,180 --> 00:01:42,430
smoked a little but earlier as part of

37
00:01:48,180 --> 00:01:45,190
the ritual it helps open our Oran allows

38
00:01:50,310 --> 00:01:48,190
us to channel energy better my boyfriend

39
00:01:52,380 --> 00:01:50,320
and I are available to talk about this

40
00:01:54,570 --> 00:01:52,390
and can show you where we were at it's

41
00:01:56,460 --> 00:01:54,580
right off the main trail by this small

42
00:01:59,390 --> 00:01:56,470
traffic circle near the back of the

43
00:02:03,270 --> 00:02:00,870
investigators notes

44
00:02:04,950 --> 00:02:03,280
I spoke with both witnesses via phone

45
00:02:06,690 --> 00:02:04,960
and obtained the location of the

46
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:06,700
sighting and the details that lead up to

47
00:02:11,340 --> 00:02:08,890
the sighting the reporting witness is a

48
00:02:13,380 --> 00:02:11,350
27 year old female and the second

49
00:02:15,630 --> 00:02:13,390
witness is her 28 year old boyfriend

50
00:02:17,340 --> 00:02:15,640
both witnesses are from nearby River

51
00:02:19,140 --> 00:02:17,350
Grove Illinois and both have been

52
00:02:21,570 --> 00:02:19,150
practicing Wicca for about four years

53
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:21,580
the witnesses have indicated that they

54
00:02:25,170 --> 00:02:23,170
have both been to Schiller woods on

55
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:25,180
multiple occasions to do rituals and

56
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:27,130
have seen other practicing groups there

57
00:02:31,410 --> 00:02:29,410
before when asked why they go there for

58
00:02:33,270 --> 00:02:31,420
ritual the female witness said they can

59
00:02:35,220 --> 00:02:33,280
practice in relative peace with little

60
00:02:37,319 --> 00:02:35,230
to no disturbance from the outside world

61
00:02:39,089 --> 00:02:37,329
when asked about the encounter the

62
00:02:41,339 --> 00:02:39,099
female witness said they were there to

63
00:02:42,930 --> 00:02:41,349
do a Yule ritual for Prosperity they

64
00:02:43,559 --> 00:02:42,940
were almost complete with the ritual

65
00:02:45,300 --> 00:02:43,569
when they both

66
00:02:47,550 --> 00:02:45,310
said she heard a very high-pitched sound

67
00:02:49,500 --> 00:02:47,560
that came out of nowhere when she looked

68
00:02:51,660 --> 00:02:49,510
up she saw that being attempting to hide

69
00:02:53,849 --> 00:02:51,670
behind a row of trees about 15 yards

70
00:02:55,890 --> 00:02:53,859
from them the being she described as

71
00:02:57,899 --> 00:02:55,900
being between 7 to 8 feet tall and

72
00:03:00,390 --> 00:02:57,909
appeared extremely thin and looked like

73
00:03:02,369 --> 00:03:00,400
he was wearing a grey jumpsuit she said

74
00:03:04,379 --> 00:03:02,379
that the beings arms were very long and

75
00:03:06,509 --> 00:03:04,389
hung to just above his knees and looked

76
00:03:08,610 --> 00:03:06,519
like they had claws I asked her to

77
00:03:10,170 --> 00:03:08,620
please describe this and she said they

78
00:03:11,819 --> 00:03:10,180
were long and just looked like they were

79
00:03:14,550 --> 00:03:11,829
tipped with claws or what looked like

80
00:03:16,199 --> 00:03:14,560
claws she went further in describing the

81
00:03:18,209 --> 00:03:16,209
being as being smooth headed no

82
00:03:20,459 --> 00:03:18,219
indication of hair and with eyes that

83
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:20,469
were insect-like only jet-black and took

84
00:03:24,569 --> 00:03:22,810
up most of its face when asked if the

85
00:03:26,399 --> 00:03:24,579
being tried to move toward them both

86
00:03:28,500 --> 00:03:26,409
indicated that it stayed behind the row

87
00:03:30,479 --> 00:03:28,510
of trees and would only move to conceal

88
00:03:32,129 --> 00:03:30,489
itself from them both witnesses

89
00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:32,139
indicated that they were both in full

90
00:03:35,339 --> 00:03:33,730
view of the being and that the being

91
00:03:35,970 --> 00:03:35,349
must have been aware that they could see

92
00:03:38,159 --> 00:03:35,980
it as well

93
00:03:40,289 --> 00:03:38,169
both witnesses agreed that this went on

94
00:03:42,030 --> 00:03:40,299
for over a full minute before the entity

95
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:42,040
stepped behind the row of trees and

96
00:03:45,990 --> 00:03:44,290
disappeared from view both witnesses

97
00:03:47,849 --> 00:03:46,000
said that once the being was gone they

98
00:03:50,099 --> 00:03:47,859
felt an overwhelming urgency to leave

99
00:03:51,659 --> 00:03:50,109
the feeling bordered on fear and it was

100
00:03:53,699 --> 00:03:51,669
like someone had unleashed a pent-up

101
00:03:56,069 --> 00:03:53,709
wall of fear that had somehow been held

102
00:03:57,659 --> 00:03:56,079
back during the encounter both witnesses

103
00:03:59,550 --> 00:03:57,669
gathered up their things and quickly

104
00:04:01,890 --> 00:03:59,560
left got in their car and drove away and

105
00:04:03,689 --> 00:04:01,900
out of schiller woods when asked if they

106
00:04:05,219 --> 00:04:03,699
noticed anything out of the ordinary as

107
00:04:08,550 --> 00:04:05,229
they were leaving such as lights in the

108
00:04:10,229 --> 00:04:08,560
sky or unusual mist etc the female

109
00:04:12,929 --> 00:04:10,239
witness said she did notice a lack of

110
00:04:14,789 --> 00:04:12,939
wildlife as they left the female witness

111
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:14,799
indicated that those particular woods

112
00:04:18,719 --> 00:04:16,690
are teeming with deer and raccoons and

113
00:04:20,460 --> 00:04:18,729
other wildlife and at that time of the

114
00:04:22,830 --> 00:04:20,470
late afternoon early evening they were

115
00:04:24,570 --> 00:04:22,840
out in droves grazing and feeding these

116
00:04:26,550 --> 00:04:24,580
deer are used to people and do not

117
00:04:28,589 --> 00:04:26,560
scatter and less directly approached and

118
00:04:31,110 --> 00:04:28,599
yet on the way out she saw no wildlife

119
00:04:32,969 --> 00:04:31,120
at all no deer anywhere when asked about

120
00:04:35,159 --> 00:04:32,979
the use of marijuana and their rituals

121
00:04:37,260 --> 00:04:35,169
both indicated that they both did smoke

122
00:04:39,180 --> 00:04:37,270
marijuana prior to the ritual as a sort

123
00:04:41,370 --> 00:04:39,190
of ritual aid but that the sighting they

124
00:04:43,260 --> 00:04:41,380
had was not induced by or influenced by

125
00:04:44,939 --> 00:04:43,270
the marijuana both claimed they were

126
00:04:47,249 --> 00:04:44,949
sober and clear-headed during the

127
00:04:49,439 --> 00:04:47,259
encounter both witnesses appeared to be

128
00:04:51,300 --> 00:04:49,449
sincere and both did not seem to be

129
00:04:53,490 --> 00:04:51,310
fabricating any part of the encounter

130
00:04:55,170 --> 00:04:53,500
both witnesses indicated that they will

131
00:04:56,239 --> 00:04:55,180
eventually go back to the woods for

132
00:04:57,949 --> 00:04:56,249
ritual and the

133
00:05:00,709 --> 00:04:57,959
feel that their lives were not in any

134
00:05:02,479 --> 00:05:00,719
danger an investigator with UFO Clearing

135
00:05:04,399 --> 00:05:02,489

136
00:05:06,439 --> 00:05:04,409
Schiller woods in the upcoming days and

137
00:05:08,569 --> 00:05:06,449
any photos and information from that

138
00:05:15,830 --> 00:05:08,579
field visit will be posted on this page

139
00:05:19,950 --> 00:05:18,240
insectoid being encounter unnerved

witness Wow

141
00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:22,270
I really feel we word writing this email

142
00:05:28,530 --> 00:05:25,570
I am a sensible 59 year old woman

143
00:05:30,690 --> 00:05:28,540
however my daughter grounded in all

144
00:05:32,670 --> 00:05:30,700
things she can see in touch would tell

145
00:05:35,490 --> 00:05:32,680
you I have one of the most open minds

146
00:05:37,260 --> 00:05:35,500
she's ever run across I do have more of

147
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:37,270
a willingness to approach things with an

148
00:05:42,450 --> 00:05:39,970
open mind because of my own experiences

149
00:05:44,159 --> 00:05:42,460
I found you quite by accident after

150
00:05:46,050 --> 00:05:44,169
getting one of your books through Kindle

151
00:05:47,940 --> 00:05:46,060
unlimited and I thought how wonderful

152
00:05:50,340 --> 00:05:47,950
that people can reach out to you and

153
00:05:53,250 --> 00:05:50,350
tell you about their experiences without

154
00:05:55,980 --> 00:05:53,260
fear of harsh judgment well your goes I

155
00:05:59,250 --> 00:05:55,990
had an experience in 1993 that has

156
00:06:01,110 --> 00:05:59,260
bothered me for 23 years my husband was

157
00:06:03,780 --> 00:06:01,120
involved but didn't see anything even

158
00:06:05,940 --> 00:06:03,790
though he was in the bed next to me the

159
00:06:08,790 --> 00:06:05,950
only person I told was my personal

160
00:06:10,830 --> 00:06:08,800
physician the very next day at the time

161
00:06:12,659 --> 00:06:10,840
we lived in a two-story house on a

162
00:06:14,879 --> 00:06:12,669
dead-end cul-de-sac in Seattle

163
00:06:17,790 --> 00:06:14,889
Washington about five miles from the

164
00:06:21,420 --> 00:06:17,800
SeaTac Airport it was sometime in late

165
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:21,430
October or early November of 1993 it

166
00:06:25,740 --> 00:06:22,690
occurred in the middle of the night

167
00:06:27,690 --> 00:06:25,750
about 2:00 a.m. my husband and I were

168
00:06:29,969 --> 00:06:27,700
asleep I was on the side of the bed

169
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:29,979
facing the outer bedroom wall and my

170
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:33,010
husband was asleep next to me I woke up

171
00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:34,690
and rolled over bringing the bedroom

172
00:06:39,840 --> 00:06:37,330
doorway into my view the whole light was

173
00:06:42,210 --> 00:06:39,850
on outside the bedroom so I had a clear

174
00:06:44,790 --> 00:06:42,220
view of the doorway I saw something

175
00:06:47,250 --> 00:06:44,800
standing in the bedroom doorway it was

176
00:06:50,159 --> 00:06:47,260
very tall and I got the vague outline of

177
00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:50,169
some kind of robe like clothing i sat

178
00:06:54,570 --> 00:06:52,570
straight up in bed grabbed my husband s

179
00:06:56,940 --> 00:06:54,580
arm and shook him shouting there s

180
00:06:58,710 --> 00:06:56,950
something in the doorway my husband

181
00:07:00,510 --> 00:06:58,720
bolted up out of bed and grabbed the

182
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:00,520
baseball bat he kept next to the

183
00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:02,410
headboard but as soon as I had shouted

184
00:07:07,529 --> 00:07:05,050
out the thing was gone just gone

185
00:07:09,810 --> 00:07:07,539
I was near hysterical and it took a

186
00:07:12,090 --> 00:07:09,820
while for my husband to calm me down I

187
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:12,100
told him I had seen something in the

188
00:07:16,010 --> 00:07:14,530
doorway he checked the house but of

189
00:07:19,170 --> 00:07:16,020
course there was nothing there

190
00:07:20,969 --> 00:07:19,180
everything was locked up tight I felt

191
00:07:23,490 --> 00:07:20,979
like I was losing my mind

192
00:07:26,250 --> 00:07:23,500
I apologized for scaring him like that

193
00:07:27,750 --> 00:07:26,260
and waking him up yelling I don't really

194
00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:27,760
remember anything about the

195
00:07:32,910 --> 00:07:30,130
that night except that I was very upset

196
00:07:35,700 --> 00:07:32,920
and couldn't get back to sleep I was

197
00:07:38,490 --> 00:07:35,710
very very scared I knew I had seen

198
00:07:40,230 --> 00:07:38,500
something I didn't trust that if I went

199
00:07:43,050 --> 00:07:40,240
back to sleep that it wouldn't come back

200
00:07:45,300 --> 00:07:43,060
the next morning I phoned my doctor and

201
00:07:47,700 --> 00:07:45,310
left a message asking him to phone me

202
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:47,710
back I told him in the message that I

203
00:07:52,050 --> 00:07:49,450
thought there was something really wrong

204
00:07:53,940 --> 00:07:52,060
with me when he phoned me back I broke

205
00:07:56,820 --> 00:07:53,950
down in tears telling him that I felt

206
00:07:58,380 --> 00:07:56,830
like I was losing my mind I told him

207
00:08:00,060 --> 00:07:58,390
that I know I saw something in my

208
00:08:03,090 --> 00:08:00,070
bedroom doorway in the middle of the

209
00:08:05,010 --> 00:08:03,100
night it was real I had seen it but it

210
00:08:07,620 --> 00:08:05,020
wasn't possible that anything was there

211
00:08:10,170 --> 00:08:07,630
he asked me what I had seen and I told

212
00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:10,180
him it was a thing or a man or something

213
00:08:15,030 --> 00:08:12,490
he said that if a person is under stress

214
00:08:17,670 --> 00:08:15,040
we had started our business earlier that

215
00:08:19,650 --> 00:08:17,680
year it was possible to be dreaming but

216
00:08:22,380 --> 00:08:19,660
you're waking up and you think you see

217
00:08:24,660 --> 00:08:22,390
something he prescribed some medication

218
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:24,670
for my nerves and told me I should try

219
00:08:28,740 --> 00:08:27,010
to forget that it had happened I was

220
00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:28,750
left with this feeling that I didn't

221
00:08:34,140 --> 00:08:31,210
really know what I had seen it had

222
00:08:36,300 --> 00:08:34,150
happened so fast I tried to forget that

223
00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:36,310
it had happened but of course I never

224
00:08:41,610 --> 00:08:39,610
could a few months later I sat down at

225
00:08:43,740 --> 00:08:41,620
the table with pencil and paper and

226
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:43,750
tried to go back to that moment when I

227
00:08:48,330 --> 00:08:45,970
saw the thing in the doorway and just

228
00:08:50,790 --> 00:08:48,340
kind of let my mind float and draw what

229
00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:50,800
I had seen what I ended up with was

230
00:08:55,380 --> 00:08:53,290
bizarre and frightened me so badly I

231
00:08:57,690 --> 00:08:55,390
just threw the drawing away and tried to

232
00:09:00,150 --> 00:08:57,700
forget about it I had drawn an

233
00:09:02,250 --> 00:09:00,160
insect-like head with big big eyes a

234
00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:02,260
kind of robe outline in these

235
00:09:07,140 --> 00:09:04,810
insect-like arms and hands coming out of

236
00:09:09,300 --> 00:09:07,150
slits on the side of the rope I can

237
00:09:12,090 --> 00:09:09,310
still close my eyes and see that thing

238
00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:12,100
in the doorway some details really stuck

239
00:09:16,590 --> 00:09:14,410
out at me but others are so vague it's

240
00:09:19,020 --> 00:09:16,600
impossible to really describe them

241
00:09:20,940 --> 00:09:19,030
I remember in detail tune up like things

242
00:09:23,580 --> 00:09:20,950
on its head but have only the vaguest

243
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:23,590
sense of stalks or antenna coming out of

244
00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:25,930
them and I remember the way the arms

245
00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:28,050
look but can't really remember what

246
00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:29,610
hands looked like or what they were

247
00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:32,370
doing I remember the eyes but only

248
00:09:35,990 --> 00:09:34,050
remember an impression of two slits

249
00:09:38,750 --> 00:09:36,000
where a nose would have been and I don't

250
00:09:40,850 --> 00:09:38,760
remember a mouth I have only the vaguest

251
00:09:43,220 --> 00:09:40,860
sense of a rope or flowing cloth of

252
00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:43,230
sorts but I remember the slits where the

253
00:09:47,420 --> 00:09:45,810
arms came out of it over the years I

254
00:09:49,220 --> 00:09:47,430
have tried to convince myself that

255
00:09:52,009 --> 00:09:49,230
because of the vagueness of some of the

256
00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:52,019
details it must not have been real but

257
00:09:57,680 --> 00:09:54,930
it still bothers me to this day and I am

258
00:09:59,780 --> 00:09:57,690
still sure I saw something I have never

259
00:10:02,000 --> 00:09:59,790
had the nerve or desire to tell anyone

260
00:10:05,060 --> 00:10:02,010
else about the experience and I don't

261
00:10:07,190 --> 00:10:05,070
want anyone to think I am unstable even

262
00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:07,200
if I had wanted to tell someone about it

263
00:10:12,199 --> 00:10:09,810
who would I tell what good would it do

264
00:10:14,090 --> 00:10:12,209
but I read in your book that some people

265
00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:14,100
have described an insect or praying

266
00:10:19,310 --> 00:10:16,290
mantis like being that they have seen I

267
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:19,320
hadn't heard about that before it sent a

268
00:10:23,660 --> 00:10:21,450
volt of electricity through my body like

269
00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:23,670
an adrenaline rush and I got butterflies

270
00:10:28,670 --> 00:10:26,250
in my stomach everyone knows about

271
00:10:30,949 --> 00:10:28,680
Grey's thanks to the movies never seen

272
00:10:32,930 --> 00:10:30,959
one never want to Dodd but if other

273
00:10:35,030 --> 00:10:32,940
people have seen the big insect thing

274
00:10:37,639 --> 00:10:35,040
maybe there really was something in my

275
00:10:39,500 --> 00:10:37,649
doorway that night if other people have

276
00:10:42,319 --> 00:10:39,510
seen this thing maybe they will feel

277
00:10:45,110 --> 00:10:42,329
better if they know I saw it too even if

278
00:10:48,019 --> 00:10:45,120
only for a few seconds thank you for

279
00:10:56,140 --> 00:10:48,029
listening I'm glad I finally got to tell

280
00:11:02,030 --> 00:10:59,420
mantas man I saw your post this morning

281
00:11:03,769 --> 00:11:02,040
regarding the Mantis sightings I just

282
00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:03,779
wanted to let you know it's kind of a

283
00:11:08,630 --> 00:11:05,730
relief to know about this because when

284
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:08,640
it first happened with me back in 1987 I

285
00:11:13,370 --> 00:11:11,490
thought maybe I was going crazy I had

286
00:11:15,620 --> 00:11:13,380
contact with these beings at that time

287
00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:15,630
but have rarely spoken of it to anyone

288
00:11:19,730 --> 00:11:17,850
they communicated through some manner

289
00:11:21,290 --> 00:11:19,740
whereby they connected to the inside of

290
00:11:23,930 --> 00:11:21,300
my head through the brain behind

291
00:11:25,519 --> 00:11:23,940
Murphy's when I became aware of it at

292
00:11:28,130 --> 00:11:25,529
first it was like a humming with a

293
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:28,140
clicking sound interspersed very much

294
00:11:33,260 --> 00:11:30,330
like what crickets might sound like on a

295
00:11:35,329 --> 00:11:33,270
large scale perhaps I was curious and

296
00:11:37,519 --> 00:11:35,339
concerned by this and wondered what the

297
00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:37,529
heck was going on to this day I still

298
00:11:41,540 --> 00:11:39,330
don't know if I intercepted a

299
00:11:44,030 --> 00:11:41,550
communication going on between them like

300
00:11:46,460 --> 00:11:44,040
tuning into a radio station or if it was

301
00:11:48,740 --> 00:11:46,470
deliberate on their part at first I just

302
00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:48,750
heard the humming clicking noises but

303
00:11:53,300 --> 00:11:50,490
then pictures started to emerge from

304
00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:53,310
these sounds I was able to see what they

305
00:11:58,100 --> 00:11:55,650
looked like mantis is the word I used to

306
00:11:59,690 --> 00:11:58,110
describe their forms I also knew from

307
00:12:01,730 --> 00:11:59,700
this communication that they were not on

308
00:12:03,680 --> 00:12:01,740
our plane of existence at that time

309
00:12:05,180 --> 00:12:03,690
anyway and that they were planning to

310
00:12:06,079 --> 00:12:05,190
emerge in our plane for their own

311
00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:06,089
purposes

312
00:12:10,490 --> 00:12:08,250
I got the distinct impression that they

313
00:12:12,199 --> 00:12:10,500
were cold and insect-like logical with

314
00:12:14,030 --> 00:12:12,209
very little in the way of emotion or

315
00:12:16,490 --> 00:12:14,040
compassion which frightened me the most

316
00:12:18,140 --> 00:12:16,500
the other impression I got from this was

317
00:12:20,390 --> 00:12:18,150
that they believed themselves to be our

318
00:12:22,579 --> 00:12:20,400
superiors like we believe about animals

319
00:12:24,680 --> 00:12:22,589
in our world whatever they were deciding

320
00:12:26,630 --> 00:12:24,690
it was based on this belief in other

321
00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:26,640
words for our own good or the greater

322
00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:29,850
picture I hope this makes sense from

323
00:12:33,380 --> 00:12:31,410
that time to this I never thought I

324
00:12:35,810 --> 00:12:33,390
would be hearing about this or reading

325
00:12:38,180 --> 00:12:35,820
about it in a public forum I put it out

326
00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:38,190
of my mind for the most part filed away

327
00:12:47,430 --> 00:12:40,410
under weird and expendable things that

328
00:12:52,830 --> 00:12:50,490
and beings praying mantis Oh Lord it was

329
00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:52,840
my wedding anniversary so my significant

330
00:12:56,970 --> 00:12:54,730
other and I went to a bed-and-breakfast

331
00:12:58,890 --> 00:12:56,980
for a night that night after we went to

332
00:13:00,270 --> 00:12:58,900
sleep I remember being taken to a big

333
00:13:02,310 --> 00:13:00,280
white room where there was a lot of

334
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:02,320
other people there I was taking the

335
00:13:05,730 --> 00:13:04,210
white hallway with two ant beings on

336
00:13:08,250 --> 00:13:05,740
either side of me until we reach the

337
00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:08,260
door the door opens and I see a tall

338
00:13:12,210 --> 00:13:10,090
seventy eight foot tall praying mantis

339
00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:12,220
insects beam he called me over and

340
00:13:16,050 --> 00:13:14,170
showed me a video of wars and conflict

341
00:13:18,030 --> 00:13:16,060
and asked me if humans are worth saving

342
00:13:19,950 --> 00:13:18,040
then I went to the right of him and

343
00:13:21,990 --> 00:13:19,960
started to bring up on his computer

344
00:13:24,630 --> 00:13:22,000
video of positive aspects of human

345
00:13:26,910 --> 00:13:24,640
behavior the being agreed after that I

346
00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:26,920
found myself back in bed next to my wife

347
00:13:31,140 --> 00:13:29,290
the next day on our way out of Sedona

348
00:13:32,970 --> 00:13:31,150
driving wheel itself and there was a

349
00:13:34,980 --> 00:13:32,980
ship flying slow towards the mountain

350
00:13:40,910 --> 00:13:34,990
end goes behind it after that it

351
00:13:46,489 --> 00:13:43,069
praying mantis humanoid encounter

352
00:13:48,799 --> 00:13:46,499
Greenville South Carolina hi I'm a 42

353
00:13:51,379 --> 00:13:48,809
year old female married with grown kids

354
00:13:53,299 --> 00:13:51,389
and five grandchildren first of all

355
00:13:55,639 --> 00:13:53,309
since this encounter I have never

356
00:13:58,099 --> 00:13:55,649
forgotten it although exactly what

357
00:14:00,470 --> 00:13:58,109
happened is a mystery to me I was around

358
00:14:03,289 --> 00:14:00,480
age three or four we lived in a trailer

359
00:14:05,449 --> 00:14:03,299
park in Greenville South Carolina in mr.

360
00:14:10,220 --> 00:14:05,459
Hickam trailer park this would have been

361
00:14:12,710 --> 00:14:10,230
about 1976 or 1977 all this information

362
00:14:15,259 --> 00:14:12,720
has been confirmed by my mom it was a

363
00:14:18,109 --> 00:14:15,269
warm and sunny day I was playing outside

364
00:14:20,479 --> 00:14:18,119
with my two older brothers I was the

365
00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:20,489
youngest of three it was a day like all

366
00:14:25,519 --> 00:14:22,410
the others we were playing tag or

367
00:14:27,829 --> 00:14:25,529
hide-and-go-seek I went to hide I ran

368
00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:27,839
around the back of her home and suddenly

369
00:14:32,269 --> 00:14:29,970
I ran almost into a humanoid praying

370
00:14:34,249 --> 00:14:32,279
mantis at the time I thought it was a

371
00:14:36,889 --> 00:14:34,259
giant insect I could not really

372
00:14:39,289 --> 00:14:36,899
comprehend what I was seeing I felt like

373
00:14:41,239 --> 00:14:39,299
all the breath was taken from me it was

374
00:14:43,879 --> 00:14:41,249
taller than my dad then it was standing

375
00:14:45,530 --> 00:14:43,889
next to her propane tank years later

376
00:14:48,319 --> 00:14:45,540
when I thought about it I told myself

377
00:14:50,659 --> 00:14:48,329
that maybe there was a gas leak anyway

378
00:14:52,909 --> 00:14:50,669
back to the Mantis I stood there frozen

379
00:14:55,129 --> 00:14:52,919
in broad daylight and the creature was

380
00:14:57,109 --> 00:14:55,139
just staring back at me and then

381
00:14:59,150 --> 00:14:57,119
everything is blank until I come running

382
00:15:01,879 --> 00:14:59,160
back into our trailer screaming that I'm

383
00:15:03,829 --> 00:15:01,889
in pain between my legs my mother is so

384
00:15:06,259 --> 00:15:03,839
concerned that she pulled down my shorts

385
00:15:07,999 --> 00:15:06,269
and underwear to inspect she says

386
00:15:11,090 --> 00:15:08,009
nothing is wrong and I go to sleep

387
00:15:12,919 --> 00:15:11,100
crying this has always been with me it

388
00:15:15,499 --> 00:15:12,929
in this praying mantis stays in the back

389
00:15:17,509 --> 00:15:15,509
of my mind then a few years ago I hear

390
00:15:19,309 --> 00:15:17,519
about this UFO sighting reported by

391
00:15:21,559 --> 00:15:19,319
Highland Illinois Police Department

392
00:15:23,689 --> 00:15:21,569
weird I thought we moved up there when I

393
00:15:26,419 --> 00:15:23,699
was 7 and moved back to South Carolina

394
00:15:28,159 --> 00:15:26,429
when I was 10 years old I was telling my

395
00:15:30,229 --> 00:15:28,169
husband about this thing that happens

396
00:15:32,749 --> 00:15:30,239
when I was a kid we both laughed as I

397
00:15:34,159 --> 00:15:32,759
swore it really did happen so I got

398
00:15:36,859 --> 00:15:34,169
curious in googled the praying mantis

399
00:15:38,809 --> 00:15:36,869
aliens and I remember it felt like I was

400
00:15:40,879 --> 00:15:38,819
punched in the stomach as I sat there

401
00:15:43,549 --> 00:15:40,889
looking at an imagery exactly how I saw

402
00:15:46,129 --> 00:15:43,559
it over 30 years ago I showed it to my

403
00:15:48,109 --> 00:15:46,139
husband and he was in shock I don't know

404
00:15:49,789 --> 00:15:48,119
what happened to me between my encounter

405
00:15:51,979 --> 00:15:49,799
and when I came running and screaming

406
00:15:54,139 --> 00:15:51,989
about burning down there I had a real

407
00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:54,149
fear of monsters after that and a great

408
00:15:57,690 --> 00:15:55,330
deal of night

409
00:16:00,090 --> 00:15:57,700
but nothing like what I saw it was all

410
00:16:02,250 --> 00:16:00,100
about bloody baby dolls inside plastic

411
00:16:04,290 --> 00:16:02,260
bags scooting their plastic bodies

412
00:16:04,830 --> 00:16:04,300
around and down the hallways trying to

413
00:16:07,020 --> 00:16:04,840
get me

414
00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:07,030
also another reoccurring dream was a

415
00:16:10,830 --> 00:16:08,890
farmer type man in overalls with a

416
00:16:13,470 --> 00:16:10,840
pitchfork walking by all my family

417
00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:13,480
members just to get to me at the end of

418
00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:15,250
the dream he would stab me in the chest

419
00:16:19,890 --> 00:16:17,530
this dream started when I lived in

420
00:16:22,020 --> 00:16:19,900
Highland I never was able to give birth

421
00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:22,030
naturally either I had to have

422
00:16:27,810 --> 00:16:24,850
c-sections my father passed away at the

423
00:16:30,750 --> 00:16:27,820
age of 38 from lung cancer I was only 15

424
00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:30,760
it has not been an easy life for me but

425
00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:32,410
I'm a Christian and find comfort in

426
00:16:36,810 --> 00:16:34,690
God's Word I have tried to read more

427
00:16:39,630 --> 00:16:36,820
about this mantis humanoid creature and

428
00:16:41,490 --> 00:16:39,640
have not got a lot of info usually when

429
00:16:43,530 --> 00:16:41,500
I'm reading about it right before bed a

430
00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:43,540
fall asleep very quickly and get nowhere

431
00:16:48,270 --> 00:16:45,850
I'm reaching out because I feel like

432
00:16:50,370 --> 00:16:48,280
this is really happening and not just to

433
00:16:52,950 --> 00:16:50,380
me it doesn't matter to me to get

434
00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:52,960
attention via printing a story I just

435
00:17:02,550 --> 00:16:54,850
