black winged humanoid encounter near

rockford illinois

10
00:00:39,910 --> 00:00:37,360
i just found out about the flying

11
00:00:42,150 --> 00:00:39,920
humanoid sightings around chicago

12
00:00:44,069 --> 00:00:42,160
in fact i'm going to get the book and

13
00:00:46,709 --> 00:00:44,079
see if there is anything related to what

14
00:00:49,270 --> 00:00:46,719
i encountered in the summer of 2010

15
00:00:50,790 --> 00:00:49,280
this took place in northern illinois not

16
00:00:52,869 --> 00:00:50,800
far from rockford

17
00:00:54,389 --> 00:00:52,879
my friend and i were just just riding

18
00:00:56,630 --> 00:00:54,399
around in my car

19
00:00:58,790 --> 00:00:56,640
as the day continued we decided to head

20
00:01:01,510 --> 00:00:58,800
out towards the country backroads

21
00:01:03,910 --> 00:01:01,520
we were both 17 and this was the summer

22
00:01:05,830 --> 00:01:03,920
before our senior year in high school

23
00:01:08,550 --> 00:01:05,840
we had been riding around for several

24
00:01:11,190 --> 00:01:08,560
hours at night and around 10 pm we are

25
00:01:13,030 --> 00:01:11,200
on a gravel road i wasn't familiar with

26
00:01:14,310 --> 00:01:13,040
it was a location that had lots of

27
00:01:16,789 --> 00:01:14,320
farmland all around

28
00:01:18,710 --> 00:01:16,799
and a few houses here and there we were

29
00:01:19,910 --> 00:01:18,720
talking while i'm speeding along this

30
00:01:22,630 --> 00:01:19,920
gravel road

31
00:01:24,789 --> 00:01:22,640
there was no drinking or drugs involved

32
00:01:25,590 --> 00:01:24,799
the corn on both sides of the road was

33
00:01:27,590 --> 00:01:25,600
high

34
00:01:28,710 --> 00:01:27,600
i looked ahead and noticed that the road

35
00:01:31,670 --> 00:01:28,720
was about to dip

36
00:01:33,429 --> 00:01:31,680
so i slowed back as i approached the dip

37
00:01:35,590 --> 00:01:33,439
i could see the corn shaking to the

38
00:01:37,590 --> 00:01:35,600
right of me as the headlight hit it

39
00:01:40,149 --> 00:01:37,600
we both stopped talking as we watched

40
00:01:42,069 --> 00:01:40,159
the corn i thought it was probably deer

41
00:01:44,950 --> 00:01:42,079
about to sprint out onto the road

42
00:01:46,789 --> 00:01:44,960
so i slowed down to a crawl the corn was

43
00:01:48,630 --> 00:01:46,799
now shaking violently

44
00:01:50,230 --> 00:01:48,640
we're staring at the corn waiting for

45
00:01:52,469 --> 00:01:50,240
the deer to jump out

46
00:01:54,789 --> 00:01:52,479
then all of a sudden the corn literally

47
00:01:57,429 --> 00:01:54,799
parts open just to the right of us

48
00:01:58,230 --> 00:01:57,439
this thing steps out it was the size of

49
00:02:00,630 --> 00:01:58,240
a large man

50
00:02:02,550 --> 00:02:00,640
and all black as it walked out of the

51
00:02:03,510 --> 00:02:02,560
corn it was well illuminated by my

52
00:02:05,429 --> 00:02:03,520
headlights

53
00:02:07,990 --> 00:02:05,439
it leaped and opened these huge set of

54
00:02:10,309 --> 00:02:08,000
wings and instantly went airborne

55
00:02:12,070 --> 00:02:10,319
it quickly flew right in front of my car

56
00:02:14,070 --> 00:02:12,080
and swooped up into the air as it

57
00:02:16,470 --> 00:02:14,080
reached the other side of the road

58
00:02:19,030 --> 00:02:16,480
i swear the first thing that came to my

59
00:02:21,510 --> 00:02:19,040
mind was the jeepers creepers monster

60
00:02:23,589 --> 00:02:21,520
i didn't see any facial features but the

61
00:02:25,270 --> 00:02:23,599
wings were very wide and looked like

62
00:02:28,070 --> 00:02:25,280
that of a giant bat

63
00:02:29,750 --> 00:02:28,080
i floored the gas pedal my friend was

64
00:02:32,070 --> 00:02:29,760
yelling to get out of there

65
00:02:34,790 --> 00:02:32,080
i drove as fast as i could trying to

66
00:02:37,110 --> 00:02:34,800
maintain control on the gravel surface

67
00:02:38,309 --> 00:02:37,120
we drove for a good five minutes before

68
00:02:40,390 --> 00:02:38,319
saying a word

69
00:02:42,710 --> 00:02:40,400
the whole time we were looking around us

70
00:02:45,110 --> 00:02:42,720
hoping that thing was in chasing us

71
00:02:46,550 --> 00:02:45,120
we began to calm down and soon ended up

72
00:02:48,470 --> 00:02:46,560
on a road i knew

73
00:02:51,110 --> 00:02:48,480
as i thought about it that thing looked

74
00:02:53,670 --> 00:02:51,120
like it was covered in shiny black tar

75
00:02:55,750 --> 00:02:53,680
it had a weird sheen to it the fact that

76
00:02:57,030 --> 00:02:55,760
it accelerated into flight so quickly

77
00:02:58,869 --> 00:02:57,040
had me stumped

78
00:03:00,309 --> 00:02:58,879
my friend and i talked about it through

79
00:03:02,390 --> 00:03:00,319
our entire senior year

80
00:03:05,030 --> 00:03:02,400
and never did have a clue as to what we

81
00:03:05,430 --> 00:03:05,040
saw we referred to it as the flying tar

82
00:03:07,430 --> 00:03:05,440
man

83
00:03:10,390 --> 00:03:07,440
we didn't dare tell anyone else at

84
00:03:12,309 --> 00:03:10,400
school i recently told my wife about it

85
00:03:13,910 --> 00:03:12,319
but she's a skeptic and doesn't believe

86
00:03:16,149 --> 00:03:13,920
in the supernatural

87
00:03:17,270 --> 00:03:16,159
anyway after i heard about the sightings

88
00:03:19,350 --> 00:03:17,280
around chicago

89
00:03:22,229 --> 00:03:19,360
i figured i'd track you down and write

90
00:03:30,949 --> 00:03:22,239
about it i live in texas currently

91
00:03:33,990 --> 00:03:32,869
large black fallen angel encountered in

92
00:03:35,910 --> 00:03:34,000
north georgia

93
00:03:37,910 --> 00:03:35,920
the incident happened a couple years ago

94
00:03:40,710 --> 00:03:37,920
while traveling back to atlanta

95
00:03:42,630 --> 00:03:40,720
it occurred on i-75 about 30 minutes

96
00:03:45,350 --> 00:03:42,640
south of chattanooga tennessee

97
00:03:45,990 --> 00:03:45,360
it was 1am driving 70 miles per hour

98
00:03:48,710 --> 00:03:46,000
when i noticed

99
00:03:49,509 --> 00:03:48,720
a dot exit sign maybe a half mile or so

100
00:03:51,910 --> 00:03:49,519
down the road

101
00:03:53,270 --> 00:03:51,920
go completely black as if the giant

102
00:03:55,110 --> 00:03:53,280
cloak was draped over it

103
00:03:57,270 --> 00:03:55,120
this creature made it be lying down the

104
00:03:59,270 --> 00:03:57,280
berm and directly towards my car

105
00:04:00,789 --> 00:03:59,280
it made a 90 degree right turn and cut

106
00:04:03,110 --> 00:04:00,799
right across my car

107
00:04:04,949 --> 00:04:03,120
i thought it was going to hit me it flew

108
00:04:06,229 --> 00:04:04,959
about five feet in front of me at the

109
00:04:07,910 --> 00:04:06,239
roofline level

110
00:04:09,509 --> 00:04:07,920
it cut across to the median and made

111
00:04:11,350 --> 00:04:09,519
another right turn going straight up

112
00:04:13,270 --> 00:04:11,360
vertically and then out of sight

113
00:04:15,589 --> 00:04:13,280
my first thought was a pterodactyl but

114
00:04:17,509 --> 00:04:15,599
the wife said that it had human legs

115
00:04:19,349 --> 00:04:17,519
i was able to see the underside of this

116
00:04:20,310 --> 00:04:19,359
creature but never got a good look at

117
00:04:22,150 --> 00:04:20,320
its face

118
00:04:24,230 --> 00:04:22,160
i know many mothman sightings claim

119
00:04:25,909 --> 00:04:24,240
those beasts have burning red eyes but

120
00:04:27,430 --> 00:04:25,919
if this creature had red eyes

121
00:04:29,830 --> 00:04:27,440
i would have noticed something when it

122
00:04:31,590 --> 00:04:29,840
was hovering in front of the dot side

123
00:04:33,749 --> 00:04:31,600
the skin was black and appeared to

124
00:04:34,230 --> 00:04:33,759
absorb light this creature had to be

125
00:04:35,909 --> 00:04:34,240
between

126
00:04:38,310 --> 00:04:35,919
six foot to eight foot tall with a

127
00:04:39,270 --> 00:04:38,320
wingspan that had to be 15 feet to 20

128
00:04:41,830 --> 00:04:39,280
feet wide

129
00:04:42,710 --> 00:04:41,840
i feel ephesians 6 12 best describes

130
00:04:45,110 --> 00:04:42,720
this creature

131
00:04:47,189 --> 00:04:45,120
i feel it was a fallen angel a true

132
00:04:48,710 --> 00:04:47,199
demon as described in the bible as a

133
00:04:50,629 --> 00:04:48,720
disembodied spirit

134
00:04:52,469 --> 00:04:50,639
georgia doesn't get talked about as much

135
00:04:54,310 --> 00:04:52,479
as other hot spots for paranormal

136
00:04:56,070 --> 00:04:54,320
demonic spiritual creatures

137
00:04:57,670 --> 00:04:56,080
but i have had a few incidents on the

138
00:05:00,230 --> 00:04:57,680
interstates of georgia

139
00:05:02,150 --> 00:05:00,240
i saw eufault driving on i-16 heading

140
00:05:03,990 --> 00:05:02,160
west coming into macon georgia

141
00:05:05,270 --> 00:05:04,000
it was a silver metallic ball just

142
00:05:07,749 --> 00:05:05,280
floating in the air

143
00:05:09,110 --> 00:05:07,759
made no noise it floated into a cloud

144
00:05:11,110 --> 00:05:09,120
and just disappeared

145
00:05:13,510 --> 00:05:11,120
then literally in 60 seconds three

146
00:05:15,270 --> 00:05:13,520
fighter jets i believe f-16s

147
00:05:17,510 --> 00:05:15,280
come into view and fly right through the

148
00:05:19,029 --> 00:05:17,520
very cloud where the ufo disappeared

149
00:05:20,550 --> 00:05:19,039
they were obviously scrambled to

150
00:05:22,469 --> 00:05:20,560
intercept this evo

151
00:05:24,310 --> 00:05:22,479
those three fighter jets criss-crossed

152
00:05:26,469 --> 00:05:24,320
the skies in a checkerboard pattern of

153
00:05:28,629 --> 00:05:26,479
control searching for the sifo

154
00:05:30,390 --> 00:05:28,639
i believe this ufo was interdimensional

155
00:05:32,870 --> 00:05:30,400
because it disappeared in a wink of an

156
00:05:34,390 --> 00:05:32,880
eye and once again i was driving with my

157
00:05:36,150 --> 00:05:34,400
wife down the interstate

158
00:05:43,830 --> 00:05:36,160
there are many weird things happening in

159
00:05:47,990 --> 00:05:45,670
huge winged humanoid encountered in

160
00:05:50,070 --> 00:05:48,000
joplin missouri butterfly people

161
00:05:52,550 --> 00:05:50,080
i'm writing to report a flying humanoid

162
00:05:54,550 --> 00:05:52,560
sighting i actually feel guilty for just

163
00:05:57,110 --> 00:05:54,560
now reaching out as my sighting was

164
00:05:58,710 --> 00:05:57,120
almost a year ago in june 2019

165
00:06:00,469 --> 00:05:58,720
the sighting took place in joplin

166
00:06:02,790 --> 00:06:00,479
missouri as i was driving from

167
00:06:04,550 --> 00:06:02,800
springfield missouri to kansas city

168
00:06:06,550 --> 00:06:04,560
normally when i make this drive i go

169
00:06:07,590 --> 00:06:06,560
straight up highway 13 through bolivar

170
00:06:09,670 --> 00:06:07,600
and clinton

171
00:06:11,909 --> 00:06:09,680
however on this night there were tornado

172
00:06:13,350 --> 00:06:11,919
warnings and my stepfather told me to go

173
00:06:14,950 --> 00:06:13,360
through joplin instead

174
00:06:16,870 --> 00:06:14,960
the approximate time was somewhere

175
00:06:19,430 --> 00:06:16,880
between 7 to 8 pm

176
00:06:21,909 --> 00:06:19,440
it was not yet dark it usually gets dark

177
00:06:23,510 --> 00:06:21,919
between 8 30 and 9 this time of year

178
00:06:24,950 --> 00:06:23,520
while the tornadoes weren't going to be

179
00:06:26,230 --> 00:06:24,960
in my route there were scattered

180
00:06:27,830 --> 00:06:26,240
thunderstorms

181
00:06:29,590 --> 00:06:27,840
at the time of my sighting it was in

182
00:06:30,469 --> 00:06:29,600
between one storm and just before

183
00:06:32,870 --> 00:06:30,479
another

184
00:06:34,390 --> 00:06:32,880
i mentioned this for a couple of reasons

185
00:06:36,309 --> 00:06:34,400
one because i think there's some

186
00:06:37,350 --> 00:06:36,319
correlation between the electric charges

187
00:06:39,749 --> 00:06:37,360
of a thunderstorm

188
00:06:41,990 --> 00:06:39,759
and the ability to see this creature i

189
00:06:43,990 --> 00:06:42,000
have no idea why i suspect this

190
00:06:46,469 --> 00:06:44,000
and two to acknowledge that while it was

191
00:06:48,390 --> 00:06:46,479
not dark it was grey due to the storm

192
00:06:50,710 --> 00:06:48,400
at the time of my sighting i was driving

193
00:06:52,469 --> 00:06:50,720
a 2005 chevy blazer

194
00:06:54,790 --> 00:06:52,479
the one that's two door with the s10

195
00:06:56,710 --> 00:06:54,800
body style i mentioned this because i

196
00:06:57,589 --> 00:06:56,720
used my vehicle as a way to measure this

197
00:06:59,430 --> 00:06:57,599
creature

198
00:07:01,350 --> 00:06:59,440
i was driving down the highway going a

199
00:07:03,430 --> 00:07:01,360
little slower than the limit of 70

200
00:07:06,070 --> 00:07:03,440
due to the wetness of the road if i were

201
00:07:06,790 --> 00:07:06,080
to guess i'd save 50 or 55 miles per

202
00:07:08,629 --> 00:07:06,800
hour

203
00:07:10,230 --> 00:07:08,639
i did not see the creature until he was

204
00:07:12,150 --> 00:07:10,240
pretty much right over me

205
00:07:14,230 --> 00:07:12,160
i say he because that's the feeling i

206
00:07:16,150 --> 00:07:14,240
got the creature was flying over me

207
00:07:18,070 --> 00:07:16,160
perpendicular to my direction and over

208
00:07:19,110 --> 00:07:18,080
to my right into the wooded area next to

209
00:07:21,189 --> 00:07:19,120
the highway

210
00:07:22,950 --> 00:07:21,199
he was so close on top over my vehicle

211
00:07:24,710 --> 00:07:22,960
that i could close up see the texture of

212
00:07:25,589 --> 00:07:24,720
his wings through my driver's window and

213
00:07:29,270 --> 00:07:25,599
sunroof

214
00:07:30,870 --> 00:07:29,280
had the shape pulled back

215
00:07:33,110 --> 00:07:30,880
so it was just glass for me to look

216
00:07:34,950 --> 00:07:33,120
through i do not remember any feeder

217
00:07:36,790 --> 00:07:34,960
arms and i did not see the head

218
00:07:38,710 --> 00:07:36,800
the only part of the anatomy i saw

219
00:07:40,230 --> 00:07:38,720
besides the wings was a small quadrant

220
00:07:41,830 --> 00:07:40,240
of the torso region

221
00:07:43,749 --> 00:07:41,840
i'm guessing it was somewhere above the

222
00:07:45,830 --> 00:07:43,759
navel if there were even a naval and

223
00:07:47,749 --> 00:07:45,840
before the petrol region as i did not

224
00:07:49,670 --> 00:07:47,759
see anything like human nipples

225
00:07:51,670 --> 00:07:49,680
the wingspan of this creature had to be

226
00:07:53,670 --> 00:07:51,680
between 12 to 16 feet

227
00:07:55,189 --> 00:07:53,680
i mean i'm not great with measurements

228
00:07:56,869 --> 00:07:55,199
but the creature easily could have had

229
00:07:58,710 --> 00:07:56,879
the tip of one wing down on the ground

230
00:08:00,230 --> 00:07:58,720
in front of my car and the other tip on

231
00:08:01,909 --> 00:08:00,240
the ground behind my car

232
00:08:03,990 --> 00:08:01,919
providing it had been in park and you

233
00:08:05,749 --> 00:08:04,000
were not flying and remember

234
00:08:07,029 --> 00:08:05,759
this is tipped to tip perpendicular to

235
00:08:09,029 --> 00:08:07,039
me not parallel

236
00:08:10,790 --> 00:08:09,039
my point is it was like my car was

237
00:08:13,110 --> 00:08:10,800
entirely enveloped in his wings

238
00:08:14,790 --> 00:08:13,120
even though it was for a split second i

239
00:08:16,469 --> 00:08:14,800
did not hear any noise

240
00:08:18,230 --> 00:08:16,479
this does seem kind of weird to me

241
00:08:19,430 --> 00:08:18,240
considering i don't remember seeing more

242
00:08:21,350 --> 00:08:19,440
of his body

243
00:08:23,189 --> 00:08:21,360
but what i find the most interesting is

244
00:08:25,110 --> 00:08:23,199
the apparent control the creature seemed

245
00:08:27,350 --> 00:08:25,120
to have over my state of mind

246
00:08:29,110 --> 00:08:27,360
as this was happening i was not scared i

247
00:08:31,189 --> 00:08:29,120
was so completely calm

248
00:08:32,949 --> 00:08:31,199
now not calm as ensued or comforted but

249
00:08:34,870 --> 00:08:32,959
calm as if i were just looking at a

250
00:08:36,630 --> 00:08:34,880
field of cows or something instead of a

251
00:08:39,029 --> 00:08:36,640
huge creature that's supposedly not

252
00:08:41,029 --> 00:08:39,039
supposed to exist in our dimension

253
00:08:42,790 --> 00:08:41,039
similarly i mentioned i didn't see his

254
00:08:43,670 --> 00:08:42,800
head but an image of his head appeared

255
00:08:45,910 --> 00:08:43,680
into my mind

256
00:08:47,990 --> 00:08:45,920
as if he was planting it there so i know

257
00:08:49,990 --> 00:08:48,000
i saw the wings with mario and sober

258
00:08:50,630 --> 00:08:50,000
eyes but his head i believe i only saw

259
00:08:52,710 --> 00:08:50,640
in my mind

260
00:08:54,949 --> 00:08:52,720
shortly after he passed over and via

261
00:08:57,110 --> 00:08:54,959
some kind of controller telepathy

262
00:08:58,949 --> 00:08:57,120
anyway i remained unaffected by my

263
00:09:01,030 --> 00:08:58,959
sighting until i had gotten about 30 to

264
00:09:02,630 --> 00:09:01,040
50 miles more down the road

265
00:09:04,949 --> 00:09:02,640
that's when the holy craps and what the

266
00:09:06,389 --> 00:09:04,959
hell started part of my language

267
00:09:08,949 --> 00:09:06,399
i'm going to assume you've heard it

268
00:09:09,829 --> 00:09:08,959
before so i called my boyfriend and told

269
00:09:11,829 --> 00:09:09,839
him what happened

270
00:09:13,910 --> 00:09:11,839
and i texted my friend kelly to tell her

271
00:09:15,750 --> 00:09:13,920
as well both of them had no issue

272
00:09:17,910 --> 00:09:15,760
believing me because i somehow tend to

273
00:09:19,430 --> 00:09:17,920
be a magnet for strange experiences

274
00:09:22,230 --> 00:09:19,440
and plenty of times there have been

275
00:09:24,230 --> 00:09:22,240
witnesses with me i am a contactee

276
00:09:26,630 --> 00:09:24,240
but apart from the aliens i had seen and

277
00:09:28,870 --> 00:09:26,640
recorded during my 2013 encounter

278
00:09:31,030 --> 00:09:28,880
i have only seen a glimmer man as far as

279
00:09:33,030 --> 00:09:31,040
humanoid or cryptid beans is concerned

280
00:09:35,269 --> 00:09:33,040
until this encounter last year

281
00:09:37,110 --> 00:09:35,279
further down the road i pulled over i

282
00:09:38,150 --> 00:09:37,120
wanted to see if anyone in the area had

283
00:09:40,630 --> 00:09:38,160
seen anything like i

284
00:09:42,150 --> 00:09:40,640
just had but i didn't want to describe

285
00:09:43,910 --> 00:09:42,160
it in my google search as to not

286
00:09:45,910 --> 00:09:43,920
manipulate the results

287
00:09:47,269 --> 00:09:45,920
so i just googled cryptid sightings near

288
00:09:49,110 --> 00:09:47,279
joplin missouri

289
00:09:50,630 --> 00:09:49,120
interestingly the search yielded a bunch

290
00:09:52,550 --> 00:09:50,640
of articles about children

291
00:09:54,070 --> 00:09:52,560
seeing what they described as butterfly

292
00:09:56,230 --> 00:09:54,080
people who protected them from the

293
00:09:58,949 --> 00:09:56,240
rubble during the devastating 2011

294
00:10:00,310 --> 00:09:58,959
tornado which demolished the joplin area

295
00:10:02,230 --> 00:10:00,320
sketches were done following the

296
00:10:04,389 --> 00:10:02,240
children's descriptions but they didn't

297
00:10:06,150 --> 00:10:04,399
seem to match exactly what i saw

298
00:10:07,590 --> 00:10:06,160
but on the second or third page of

299
00:10:09,509 --> 00:10:07,600
google there was another sketch

300
00:10:10,550 --> 00:10:09,519
apparently drawn by a person back in

301
00:10:12,310 --> 00:10:10,560
2003

302
00:10:13,910 --> 00:10:12,320
whose description matched as best i

303
00:10:15,670 --> 00:10:13,920
could tell from what i saw

304
00:10:17,190 --> 00:10:15,680
to my memory i think the sketch had a

305
00:10:18,710 --> 00:10:17,200
less leathery look to the body

306
00:10:20,389 --> 00:10:18,720
but what grabbed me was the way they

307
00:10:21,829 --> 00:10:20,399
drew the head because it matched the

308
00:10:24,069 --> 00:10:21,839
image of the head that i believe the

309
00:10:25,910 --> 00:10:24,079
creature gave to me telepathically

310
00:10:27,190 --> 00:10:25,920
i want to point out one distinction in

311
00:10:29,350 --> 00:10:27,200
this creature's defense

312
00:10:31,590 --> 00:10:29,360
i was never terrified even after the

313
00:10:33,910 --> 00:10:31,600
encounter when i realized what happened

314
00:10:35,509 --> 00:10:33,920
i got absolutely zero evil or demonic

315
00:10:37,350 --> 00:10:35,519
feelings associated by him

316
00:10:39,030 --> 00:10:37,360
and i have been proven over time to be

317
00:10:40,790 --> 00:10:39,040
able to really trust my intuition

318
00:10:42,470 --> 00:10:40,800
involving the supernatural

319
00:10:44,150 --> 00:10:42,480
i wanted to mention this because the

320
00:10:45,990 --> 00:10:44,160
sightings i've heard about talk about

321
00:10:47,910 --> 00:10:46,000
people screaming like lunatics and being

322
00:10:48,790 --> 00:10:47,920
traumatized to their core are calling it

323
00:10:50,230 --> 00:10:48,800
a demon

324
00:10:52,069 --> 00:10:50,240
perhaps they are seeing something

325
00:10:53,670 --> 00:10:52,079
different than i did or perhaps they

326
00:10:55,430 --> 00:10:53,680
just haven't had to cope with other

327
00:10:56,710 --> 00:10:55,440
paranormal or worldview shattering

328
00:10:59,030 --> 00:10:56,720
experiences before

329
00:10:59,990 --> 00:10:59,040
and are thusly more threatened it didn't

330
00:11:01,590 --> 00:11:00,000
occur to me to reach

331
00:11:03,430 --> 00:11:01,600
out when this happened as i have never

332
00:11:04,310 --> 00:11:03,440
reached out with my experiences until

333
00:11:06,069 --> 00:11:04,320
this year

334
00:11:07,829 --> 00:11:06,079
i think it's because i've had so many

335
00:11:09,430 --> 00:11:07,839
strange things happen to me recently

336
00:11:10,710 --> 00:11:09,440
that they are starting to outnumber my

337
00:11:13,030 --> 00:11:10,720
normal experiences

338
00:11:14,389 --> 00:11:13,040
and are increasingly harder to ignore

339
00:11:16,389 --> 00:11:14,399
i've heard of your work from many

340
00:11:17,910 --> 00:11:16,399
platforms but was just never listening

341
00:11:18,710 --> 00:11:17,920
to some episodes of expanded

342
00:11:20,949 --> 00:11:18,720
perspectives

343
00:11:22,150 --> 00:11:20,959
and the episode from 2017 when they

344
00:11:24,310 --> 00:11:22,160
interviewed you came on

345
00:11:26,150 --> 00:11:24,320
and i thought it must be time to share

346
00:11:28,389 --> 00:11:26,160
by the way joplin i think is like eight

347
00:11:30,389 --> 00:11:28,399
or nine hours to chicago i could be

348
00:11:31,990 --> 00:11:30,399
mistaken but i've never driven from

349
00:11:33,509 --> 00:11:32,000
joplin to chicago

350
00:11:35,430 --> 00:11:33,519
thank you for safeguarding everyone's

351
00:11:36,470 --> 00:11:35,440
encounters and maybe i'll get to hear

352
00:11:44,389 --> 00:11:36,480
back from you

353
00:11:48,710 --> 00:11:46,710
large wing cat-like humanoid encountered

354
00:11:51,030 --> 00:11:48,720
in de las california

355
00:11:53,110 --> 00:11:51,040
my husband and i own two dogs and we

356
00:11:55,910 --> 00:11:53,120
walk them for an hour every evening

357
00:11:57,190 --> 00:11:55,920
after work we live in a rural area de

358
00:11:59,269 --> 00:11:57,200
las california

359
00:12:01,269 --> 00:11:59,279
and it can be a bit creepy at night

360
00:12:02,069 --> 00:12:01,279
especially when there's no moon out for

361
00:12:04,629 --> 00:12:02,079
some light

362
00:12:05,509 --> 00:12:04,639
and it's pitch dark this happened a few

363
00:12:08,710 --> 00:12:05,519
weeks ago

364
00:12:09,990 --> 00:12:08,720
before daylight saving time changed my

365
00:12:12,389 --> 00:12:10,000
husband and i were on our

366
00:12:13,590 --> 00:12:12,399
nightly walk as usual on a particularly

367
00:12:15,350 --> 00:12:13,600
dark night

368
00:12:18,470 --> 00:12:15,360
we were on the most rural part of the

369
00:12:20,949 --> 00:12:18,480
trail about two miles from many homes

370
00:12:23,190 --> 00:12:20,959
we suddenly got an unnerving feeling and

371
00:12:25,590 --> 00:12:23,200
just then nature went silent

372
00:12:27,829 --> 00:12:25,600
the frogs completely stopped croaking

373
00:12:29,110 --> 00:12:27,839
and the bug noises just stopped and it

374
00:12:31,269 --> 00:12:29,120
was silent

375
00:12:32,870 --> 00:12:31,279
i said that's weird there must be a

376
00:12:34,870 --> 00:12:32,880
predator nearby

377
00:12:36,949 --> 00:12:34,880
seconds after i uttered those words we

378
00:12:39,750 --> 00:12:36,959
heard the sound of huge wings flapping

379
00:12:41,829 --> 00:12:39,760
as if something was about to land we

380
00:12:43,110 --> 00:12:41,839
felt the wind power generated by this

381
00:12:44,870 --> 00:12:43,120
massive thing

382
00:12:46,470 --> 00:12:44,880
we heard an enormous sycamore tree

383
00:12:48,069 --> 00:12:46,480
branch crack under the weight of the

384
00:12:50,150 --> 00:12:48,079
thing landing on it

385
00:12:51,269 --> 00:12:50,160
i can't even describe how powerful the

386
00:12:53,750 --> 00:12:51,279
wings were

387
00:12:55,750 --> 00:12:53,760
it was a calm still night with no wind

388
00:12:57,829 --> 00:12:55,760
and the wings had created enough force

389
00:12:58,710 --> 00:12:57,839
to actually make my long hair blow

390
00:13:00,629 --> 00:12:58,720
around

391
00:13:02,230 --> 00:13:00,639
we both felt the presence of something

392
00:13:04,230 --> 00:13:02,240
evil and menacing

393
00:13:05,430 --> 00:13:04,240
we started running and neither of us was

394
00:13:08,069 --> 00:13:05,440
brave enough to look

395
00:13:09,030 --> 00:13:08,079
back just then we saw it flying away

396
00:13:11,910 --> 00:13:09,040
overhead

397
00:13:13,829 --> 00:13:11,920
it wasn't a large bird its wings flapped

398
00:13:14,790 --> 00:13:13,839
in an unnatural way as it lurched

399
00:13:16,949 --> 00:13:14,800
upwards

400
00:13:19,269 --> 00:13:16,959
my husband is a true skeptic but

401
00:13:21,030 --> 00:13:19,279
couldn't rationalize or begin to explain

402
00:13:23,110 --> 00:13:21,040
what we had just seen

403
00:13:24,470 --> 00:13:23,120
he even told his fellow workers and

404
00:13:26,629 --> 00:13:24,480
friends about it

405
00:13:28,069 --> 00:13:26,639
he has downright refused to walk in that

406
00:13:30,150 --> 00:13:28,079
area since then

407
00:13:31,829 --> 00:13:30,160
this is not the first time i've seen

408
00:13:33,990 --> 00:13:31,839
something in that area

409
00:13:35,030 --> 00:13:34,000
last summer i saw blacker than black

410
00:13:36,870 --> 00:13:35,040
shadow figure

411
00:13:38,550 --> 00:13:36,880
that looked like a large cat human

412
00:13:40,310 --> 00:13:38,560
hybrid emerge from the creek

413
00:13:43,110 --> 00:13:40,320
and climb up the massive tree and

414
00:13:45,509 --> 00:13:43,120
disappear after that we had really bad

415
00:13:48,069 --> 00:13:45,519
things happen in a series of three

416
00:13:49,750 --> 00:13:48,079
that's a story for another time but my

417
00:13:50,550 --> 00:13:49,760
point is that there is something in that

418
00:13:52,069 --> 00:13:50,560
area

419
00:13:54,230 --> 00:13:52,079
any thoughts on what that could have

420
00:13:56,629 --> 00:13:54,240
been the week it happened i had been

421
00:13:59,509 --> 00:13:56,639
telling my husband about shape shifters

422
00:14:01,189 --> 00:13:59,519
so i wonder if i attracted something i

423
00:14:03,829 --> 00:14:01,199
have abilities as it is and have been

424
00:14:12,069 --> 00:14:03,839
susceptible to experiences like this

425
00:14:15,509 --> 00:14:14,629
