A retired logger and forest firefighter describes different encounters with the Sasquatch or 'Forest People' near his home in Yacolt‚ Washington."I'm a retired logger and Wildland Forest firefighter. I'm 70 years old. As a Faller‚ I fell old-growth timber. I also worked for 24 years for DNR Washington State Department of National Resources. My wife and I live one mile north of the town of Yacolt‚ WA. I've fished and hunted in this area most of my adult life. I also used to trap but no longer do as trapping is now illegal in the state of Washington. I've had two experiences with the forest people on a scale of 1 to 10 as about a two‚ however‚ one of my next-door neighbor's sons saw an infant Sasquatch while he was picking thimbleberries. I'm not sure whether it was on their property or ours.My neighbor's four-year-old son was picking berries. He was unaware there was an infant Sasquatch picking berries on the opposite side of the bushes. Apparently‚ the all-white-haired infant forest person was curious and wanted to get a closer look at the little human so it stood up and leaned closer maybe thinking he had a new berry-picking friend. They locked eyes. That was all it took. My little four-year-old neighbor boy ran screaming all the way home yelling about a white monkey in the woods. He didn't see the mother Sasquatch but I'm sure she must have been close by. He wouldn't go near those woods by himself for the longest time afterward.My Forest People experience number one. So it's like 40-plus years ago and I'm elk hunting in Southwest Washington State. Back then I really didn't believe in the Sasquatch people. In fact‚ I didn't know anything about them. I'm walking up a gated locking logging road hunting by myself. After about a mile I'm hearing something paralleling me about 20 to 30 feet off to my right. I can't see because there are about a gazillion little 10 to 20-foot-tall hemlock trees flanking the road. In Southwest Washington‚ those hemlocks grow like weeds alongside some of the logging roads. You can't see 10 feet through them. It's like trying to see through a hay bale. I stop‚ it stops. I walk‚ it walks. Always staying just out of my sight. Sometimes it doesn't stop fast enough and it takes one extra step when I stop fast on purpose. Now I'm thinking what in the hell is that? It's breaking sticks when it walks and doesn't care that I know what's there. There were no other tracks or trucks in the area so I'm thinking this is not another hunter. It's not a bear. It's not a deer. Blacktails are way smarter than that. A cougar‚ you'll never hear them. Elk‚ they make a lot of noise‚ breaking limbs‚ but they're not stupid so they're not going to hang out with a hunter.Now I'm thinking what in the hell is this thing. There's no smell‚ no grunts‚ no whoops‚ or anything vocal. Just that damn thing stalking me. Well‚ I'm thinking what if I just burst through those hemlocks and rushed whatever this was. I've got a 7 mil Magnum and that should put it in the H Locker if necessary. I just have this feeling that whatever it was it won. I turned around and returned to my truck. I wasn't really scared. It just seemed like the right thing to do.About 7 years ago in October‚ on the outskirts of Yacolt at my house‚ it was about 9 PM. There's no moon‚ black as night can be. No rain‚ clear skies‚ stars everywhere. For a couple weeks‚ I'd been dumping milk crates full of apples in my pasture to feed the deer. The distance is about 100 feet from the house to where the pile of apples was. I don't shoot deer on my property. That isn't hunting. That's just shooting. I'm in the house when suddenly I hear the loudest wolf-like howling I've ever heard. I stepped out on the porch and there was something just inside the timber howling. I had an 80lb German Shepherd at that time and this thing in the trees was much louder than my dog could ever be. At this time my sister-in-law came downstairs and said not to go out there. I told her no‚ I'm going out there. I want to see what that is. My wife and sister-in-law were both born and raised in Alaska. They know what a wolf sounds like and she says that's not a wolf and definitely not a dog. I agreed‚ so I grabbed a maglight which isn't very bright compared to the gazillion candle power spotlight I have today. On the other hand‚ I had my 19111 Colt 45 ACP loaded with 240-grain Federal hydroshock hollow points. Knowing what I know today I would never shoot at a Sasquatch unless it was truly out to harm me or worse. However‚ a Dogman‚ I shoot to kill‚Back to the story. I walked about 50 feet to the pasture fence and 30 feet from me were four Blacktail deer standing rigid in fear. I could have walked right up on them. They're at the apples‚ not eating‚ just terrified. If I had my dog with me she would have just run up to the fence and bark‚ and the deer would run away and come back later. Now this next part is hard to believe and what I experienced next was not mind speak‚ it was more like translating. I heard a very loud howling which I believe is louder than a wolf can make. It had a sad and frightened sound to it‚ like whatever was howling was scared and‚ yes‚ I said it sounded like it was scared. There have been times throughout my life when I would just know things‚ like when my cousin phoned early one morning and told me his mother had passed away. But I knew it before he called. What I believe I heard that night was the plea of an adolescent teenage Sasquatch on its first solo deer hunt. I believe it had been stationed where it could see the deer as an elder Sasquatch watched. Then here I came along and fouled up the whole thing. I cannot find the words to express how apologetic I am to that family of Forest People.Transcribed Source - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tSCsTL1erWQStories from the Messengers: Owls‚ UFOs and a Deeper RealityThe Messengers: Owls‚ Synchronicity and the UFO AbducteeImpossible Realities: The Science Behind Energy Healing‚ Telepathy‚ Reincarnation‚ Precognition‚ and Other Black Swan PhenomenaThe Brimstone Deceit: An In-Depth Examination of Supernatural Scents‚ Otherworldly Odors‚ and Monstrous MiasmasCaverns‚ Cauldrons‚ and Concealed Creatures: A Study of Subterranean Mysteries in History‚ Folklore‚ and MythI Know What I Saw: Modern-Day Encounters with Monsters of New Urban Legend and Ancient LoreRegister a SNAP EBT CardTry Audible PlusPHANTOMS &; MONSTERS READING LISTHave you had a sighting or encounter?Contact me by email or call the hotline at 410-241-5974Thanks.

A husband and wife are watching TV at night when a commercial comes on‚ and the words 'Greetings‚ Earthlings' appear on the screen. What happens next is beyond explanation.I received the following account:“I have a story that happened to my wife and me about two years ago. She has a nice home in town (French Lick‚ Indiana) and we'd got married so I kept the farm and I left everything in it. When my mom died‚ the old TV and all the stuff in the house were left 'as is'. Late one night‚ we were coming home from a movie and she said‚ 'Oh‚ I'm not sleepy‚ let's watch TV.' I said‚ 'Okay'. So we're out in the boonies quite a ways‚ near the old farm‚ and we still have the old TV‚ like I said‚ it hooks up to a box‚ you know‚ to pick up the channels.So we were watching TV at the farmhouse and a certain commercial came on after the movie we were watching and about halfway through it the commercial stopped and it just froze on the screen. There are people in the commercial and across the screen there's writing. "Greetings‚ Earthlings." My wife looked at me and I looked at her and she said‚ 'Is that part of the commercial?' and I say‚ 'No‚ we watch that commercial all the time.' So I hit the button real quick. I had the selector in my hand and I flashed both sides of the channel watching to see if maybe there was an overlap since it's an old TV or something and it stayed on there. I hit the end and it came back and it was just going off and you could see it was saying "Greetings‚ Earthlings."All of a sudden we could hear someone in the background saying‚ 'Hey‚ get that off! Take it off!' and it goes off. My wife says‚ 'Let's go home.' And I said‚ 'No‚ it's okay.' I said‚ 'They said greetings.' And I said‚ 'You know that has to be friendly." Well‚ we stayed the night in my old room.After sleeping for a few hours I wake up to a bright light shining through the window. I look at my watch. It's 3:03 AM. I look out the window and can tell that the light is ascending into the sky. I get out of bed and walk toward the window. When I reach the window‚ I hear my wife scream‚ "Come back!" The next thing I remember is waking up in bed. It's light outside. I look at my watch. It's 8:03 AM.Suddenly‚ my wife bursts through the bedroom door screaming‚ 'Where have you been?' I don't know what to say. She tells me that she saw me walk through the lighted window 5 hours earlier and disappeared. The bright light vanished. She searched the house and the property looking for me. Then she loses all sense of time and wakes up on the couch in the living room downstairs. Then she hears a 'whooshing sound' come from upstairs and finds me awake in the bed.That was the entire scenario. We have no idea what had happened. There were no marks on our bodies and no residual memories. I didn't believe in alien abduction previous to this incident‚ but now I wonder if something like that had happened. Was it related to the 'Greetings‚ Earthling' we saw in the commercial? LNOTE: I was waiting for the words‚ "Do Not Adjust Your Set."

The following anecdote was sent by Dr. Margaret Vivian and later published in the "London Evening News" on December 23‚ 1954. An interesting account and mystery."Many years ago when I was a medical student Mr. X.‚ an old friend‚ would call occasionally at the college to take me out to lunch. One day a letter from him asked me to meet him off the 1:30 train the next day at a small country station nearby. Later‚ a telegram was handed to me telling me Mr. X. had been killed in a street accident. It was unsigned and I thought it might be a hoax.The next morning I cycled to the station‚ leaned my bicycle against the bridge across the lines‚ and leaned on the parapet. As the 1:30 train pulled up at the platform‚ I watched anxiously to see who alighted. There were three passengers‚ two men‚ and a girl‚ and to my relief‚ I saw that one was my old friend‚ in his familiar raincoat and pork pie hat rather far back on his head. I shouted to him and he looked up smiling‚ waved his hat‚ and hurried out of sight towards the station exit. I ran to meet him there. The two other passengers emerged‚ by not Mr. X. I went onto the platform but there was no sign of him.I spoke to the ticket collector. He said only two passengers had gotten off the train‚ a 'gent' and a young lady."But the other gentleman‚ wearing a pork pie hat‚" I insisted. "I saw him from the bridge!""I never seen but two‚" he replied‚ showing me the two tickets he had taken from them.I rode back to college‚ fearing now the telegram must be genuine‚ and I learned later that Mr. X had been knocked down by a passerby‚ and had been taken unconscious to hospital‚ where he died as the result of a fractured skull.I never discovered who sent me the telegram." Stories from the Messengers: Owls‚ UFOs and a Deeper RealityThe Messengers: Owls‚ Synchronicity and the UFO AbducteeImpossible Realities: The Science Behind Energy Healing‚ Telepathy‚ Reincarnation‚ Precognition‚ and Other Black Swan PhenomenaThe Brimstone Deceit: An In-Depth Examination of Supernatural Scents‚ Otherworldly Odors‚ and Monstrous MiasmasCaverns‚ Cauldrons‚ and Concealed Creatures: A Study of Subterranean Mysteries in History‚ Folklore‚ and MythI Know What I Saw: Modern-Day Encounters with Monsters of New Urban Legend and Ancient LoreRegister a SNAP EBT CardTry Audible PlusPHANTOMS &; MONSTERS READING LISTHave you had a sighting or encounter?Contact me by email or call the hotline at 410-241-5974Thanks.

I received the following email back in 2016 after the experiencer had contacted several reporting agencies‚ including MUFON &; NUFORC. None of them responded to the experiencer's concerns.The experiencer asked me to post their email and the image they provided‚ which I did. Below is the original email:"I don't know exactly how to describe what's happening to me but I know that I need help. There is something that is attached to me and it is not human. It (or they?) has been attached to me since I can remember. As I get older it is getting more and more aggressive. I wake up with very large bruises and welts consistently often in geometric shapes or patterns‚ this is not my concern though. My concern lies with those around me. People are beginning to notice unexplained bruising‚ scratches‚ night those errors‚ rashes‚ and ultimately becoming violently sick in my presence. I've had instances where physical harm was done to those around me‚ such as being pushed on stairs or having doors slam on them.It comes and goes for long periods‚ but once it has made its presence known and it knows I know it's there‚ things get bad. I have many witnesses to attest to this and at one point physical proof. I had a very large non-human hand print burned into my bedroom door at my old house followed by another one‚ exactly the same burned into the wall next to my headboard. Both the door and the wall had to be sanded down. I went as far as to ask for help from the Catholic Church‚ they wouldn't even pray with me and seemed disturbed by my presence instantly.This thing has never made me feel personally threatened until recently. I found my picture of my family and me from when I was a baby fallen from my mirror and laying face down on my dresser. When I picked it up to put it back assuming it was a draft or the wind‚ I discovered that my face had been scratched out. I asked everyone in my family (grandparents‚ my mother‚ and uncle) if it was them and they had no idea what I was talking about until I showed them. I am terrified to sleep at night because I go into these fits of convulsions and screaming that are difficult to wake me up from and calculated sleepwalking‚ neither of which I have any remembrance of afterward. And by calculated sleepwalking‚ I mean unlocking doors‚ undoing restraints to keep me from leaving my bed‚ and most concerning leaving my home.I also went to a psychologist to talk about this problem in hopes that they would tell me that I was crazy but to my disappointment‚ I was told in fact that I was completely in my right mind and that what was happening to me was very real. I have had a government-based opinion(s) on the matter as well‚ those details have to be discussed exclusively in person. Please contact me as soon as possible‚ even if you can't help me." KNOTE: After several inquiries‚ I did not hear back from the experiencer. That was‚ until recently. In fact‚ today. They had heard my interview on 'Spaced Out Radio' last night and wanted to give me an update. I was given a telephone number and contacted them.Apparently‚ the experiencer consulted a regression therapist in Chicago (the experiencer lives in a suburb nearby). The result of multiple sessions determined that the experiencer was a victim of multiple encounters with a Reptilian being throughout their life. I asked why they had not contacted me previous to today. Their response was that after hearing me during the interview‚ they now felt confident enough to talk to me.I asked if it was OK for me to post this update‚ which was granted only if personal information was not included. I am scheduled to talk to the experiencer next week for more details.

This was the original wedding of the century. It was the wedding that had the entire world tuning in and would kickstart the world’s obsession with Princess Diana. With nearly 750 million people watching Prince Charles and Princess Diana tie the knot‚ Charles did something the night before his big day.

Virginia is a very purple state‚ evenly divided between conservatives and liberals‚ but its universities are not equally balanced ideologically. A simple way to gauge how “woke” universities are is to search for certain terms in their course catalogs. The more “woke” words that appear in the titles and descriptions of courses and programs‚ the more left-leaning the university is likely to be. Harry R. Lewis‚ a computer science professor and former dean of Harvard College‚ recently did this to demonstrate how radical Harvard had become. Terms like “social justice‚” “decolonization‚” and “oppression” have become ubiquitous in its course catalog. Replicating Lewis’ approach for the 15 public universities in Virginia reveals some unexpected patterns. The term “social justice” appears 72 times in the course catalog of James Madison University‚ 59 times for George Mason University‚ and 53 times for Virginia Commonwealth University. None of the other dozen public universities in Virginia have even half as many mentions of “social justice” in their catalogs. Virginia’s two historically black public universities‚ Norfolk State University and Virginia State University‚ don’t even mention “social justice” a dozen times in their catalogs. But these universities are not all the same size and may not have an equal number of courses and programs described in their catalogs. For a better apples-to-apples comparison‚ we can also look at how often more traditional terms‚ such as “Constitution‚” appear in their catalogs. The term “social justice” appears in the James Madison University catalog 4.5 times as often as the term “Constitution.” For Virginia Commonwealth University‚ “social justice” is 3.1 times as common as “Constitution.” At George Mason University‚ it is 2.6 times as common. For the historically black institutions‚ Norfolk State and Virginia State‚ their catalogs mention “Constitution” more often than they do “social justice.” The same is true for the flagship University of Virginia‚ as well as at Old Dominion University‚ Christopher Newport University‚ Longwood University‚ and Virginia Military Institute. In fact‚ VMI does not have a single course or program that includes the terms “social justice‚” “decolonization‚” “liberation‚” “white supremacy‚” or “intersectionality” in their titles or descriptions‚ but it does have 13 with the term “Constitution.” By contrast‚ William &; Mary University’s catalog mentions these woke terms 17 times. The Constitution? Only three times. Obviously‚ these are not perfect proxies for how woke universities are‚ but they roughly give us a flavor of the ideological tilt of their academic offerings. And it’s important to note that benign-sounding terms such as “social justice” are often anything but benign. In their highly useful “cheat sheet for policymakers‚” titled “Responding to Social Justice Rhetoric‚” authors Bruce Gilley‚ Peter Boghossian‚ and James Lindsay explain that “social justice‚” as the woke define it‚ means “group entitlements‚ which is the reframing of particular political demands as universal moral imperatives [and] a denial of just rewards to individuals who follow the law.” The relative frequency of woke terms such as “social justice” in course and program titles‚ and descriptions that feature more traditional topics‚ such as the Constitution‚ does not seem to be related to the size of the university or its demographic composition. Woke universities in Virginia come in all sizes‚ from very large ones such as George Mason‚ James Madison‚ and Virginia Commonwealth to very small ones‚ such as William &; Mary and the University of Mary Washington. And those with greater ideological balance are as big as the University of Virginia and as small as VMI. The fact that Virginia’s two public historically black institutions‚ as well as some universities with relatively high percentages of low-income students (as measured by Pell Grants)‚ such as Longwood and Old Dominion universities‚ have very little interest in woke courses and programs suggests that this is not being driven by student demographics or demand. When universities go woke‚ it’s the result of decisions made by their leaders. And it’s their leaders who need to be held accountable. University presidents‚ provosts‚ and deans make choices about how to allocate resources‚ hire additional faculty‚ and create new academic programs. Boards of trustees approve those decisions and review the performance of senior administrators. Those decisions determine whether a university has dozens of social justice courses and programs and only a handful on the Constitution. It’s time for us all to remember that these universities are public institutions and are ultimately accountable to the residents of Virginia. If they deviate too far from what Virginians want‚ voters will demand that their political representatives appoint administrators who will restore ideological balance.
