In Utuado, Puerto Rico: Gargoyles, Chupacabras...and Dimensional Portals?By Jorge Martín MirandaUtuado, the largest municipality in Puerto Rico, nestled in the mountainous center of our country, has been experiencing various types of unusual events for years.The events have to do with multiple appearances of the type of winged creatures that witnesses and scholars of the cases have nicknamed Gargoyles, tall humanoid creatures with anthropomorphic bodies (heads, torsos, arms, legs, or paws and that are equipped with large membranous wings similar to those of bats and in some cases wings with disordered, grotesque feathers).People who have seen and experienced encounters with them report that their skin tone varies between brown, dark brown, gray, or black.They also indicate that their bodies are muscular, that their heads are mostly bald and their eyes are red and shiny.On many occasions, these creatures have descended on the roofs of residences and walked on them for a while, after which they flap their large wings, rise into the night sky, and disappear. This has happened mostly in the Caguana neighborhood sector, but it has also occurred in other municipality sectors.There have been a couple of events in which the Gargoyle-type creatures have chased people who were fleeing from them aboard their cars, running quickly parallel to the vehicles.They have also entered residences and businesses in the area at night, causing panic among witnesses but without attacking them, after which they leave. This behavior seems to indicate that the creatures want, for reasons that are unknown, for people to see them and get used to them.Sightings and encounters in Utuado with the Gargoyle-type creatures abruptly ceased at the end of December 2023 and for several months nothing else happened. But now they began to be seen again at the beginning of last September, and along with this, there have been strange attacks and mutilations on farm animals.The animals, roosters, hens, dogs, etc., appeared with strange mutilations, holes, and wounds not compatible with the type of wounds or bites inflicted by common predatory animals (dogs, tigers, etc.), which consist of bites that tear and rip off pieces of the victim's bodies. The animals allegedly appeared to bleed to death.Some say that the attacks were made by the Gargoyles, and others that they were perpetrated by Chupacabras-type creatures, which is another type of cryptid creature that manifests in Puerto Rico and whose activity we have investigated since the beginning of the 1980s.Unfortunately, the owners of the victim animals have not wanted to cooperate with the investigations into what is happening. For example, one resident lost several chickens in one of the attacks, but he refused to allow the animals to be scientifically examined, and immediately buried them, very upset, claiming that the culprits of the massacre must be dogs.He also forbade his wife to give statements about what happened, but she confidentially said that she had seen UFOs and strange creatures on their property. This indicates that the activity of anomalous creatures and UFOs has begun again in the mountainous region of Utuado.But in Utuado other unusual events have occurred that could indicate that this type of events and the presence of unusual creatures in these areas could, perhaps, have an extradimensional origin.A few days ago we received information from a father and his son, friends who have collaborated with us in our investigations in that area, to the effect that something surprising and incredible was happening in a sector of the Caguana neighborhood...and that they had photographic evidence of it.The father, a veteran of the United States Army, told us that on the night of October 31, 2024, he was on the balcony of his residence at around 12:00 at night and suddenly noticed something that was happening in a high, uninhabited wooded area located about 500 feet away.What he saw disturbed him, because in that area there were no houses or any structures, only dense forest, but nevertheless, he saw that in that place there were several strange structures and below them there was what appeared to be a large ball of light or a circular hole from which bright lights or flames came out. There were also what appeared to be some diffuse figures.Another detail that surprised him was that the entire area where the mysterious vision appeared was illuminated by an orange-toned light whose origin he could not determine (see photo and enlargements).Knowing that what he saw was not something normal, he took his cell phone, zoomed in on the scene up in the mountain, and took a photo, of which he sent us a copy so that we could analyze it and see if there was any rational explanation for what appeared in the image.- Image Examination -When we looked at the image, we saw at the top some strange structures shrouded in orange light. What we saw surprised us, because we have been to the residence of the witness and author of the photo and we can confirm that in the place photographed by him, there are no such structures, nor the orange light.On the other hand, we examined the images of other things contained in the photo that were below, which we enlarged in size. One of them had a circular shape whose interior was filled with a bright white light from which flames or fire seemed to come out. A smaller ball of light seemed to come out of the larger illuminated circle, moving to the left leaving a slight trace of its movement (see image).Also, to the right of the circle with fire, in a slightly higher position, some strange silhouettes could be seen that were a little in shadow. Perhaps they could be mere reflections of the luminous circle and due to a pareidolia effect we saw them as figures, and so we decided to examine them in more detail.We enlarged that section of the photo and clarified it, and again it seemed to us that what we saw were strange figures and not the product of reflections in the lens of the witness's cell phone camera (see image of the section).When we clarified the image we saw three figures, one was to the right of the bright circle with fire and we could not define what it could be, because it looked like something like a body divided into sections.A little higher up was something elongated that when we clarified the image showed us the physical conformation of something anthropomorphic, something that seemed to have a head, torso, arms, and legs or paws that were very strange since they were elongated and the lower part of them looked a little twisted.It also seemed to us that this figure could have something like wings that could be seen above and behind it, but we could not clarify that detail sufficiently (see image).The other observable image was something smaller and white in color, resembling a human head that lacked a body (see image). We thought that this image was a flash and that it looked like this due to an optical illusion effect by pareidolia.Now, the images of the structures, the circles or openings with fire, and the anthropomorphic silhouette seem real to us, and that leads us to ask the following questions:1. Was what the witness saw in that deserted forest on the night of October 31 a mere hallucination? Obviously, it was not, because the camera on his cell phone captured the image of the phenomenon.2. Does what appears in the image captured by the witness respond to the manifestation of an extradimensional portal phenomenon in that place that transported the image of those strange structures to our dimension and opened another smaller portal (the circle or opening with bright light from which flames or fire came out) from which the anthropomorphic figure emerged into our reality?3. Was the orange lighting perhaps a response to the fact that it was part of the natural environment surrounding the structures, etc., in the original dimension from which they came?What we report below may provide an answer to the questions.Dimensional Portals in Utuado?As we said at the beginning of this writing, some young people had an alarming encounter with a Gargoyle-type creature that chased them while they fled in a car. This happened at the beginning of July 2023, in the Pastales sector, in front of a baseball park.Two days later, after the group of young people had recovered from their scare, they returned to the place and saw something unusual in the area where the Francisco Jordán public school is located, in the aforementioned Pastales sector of the Caguana neighborhood.One of them, named William Benedito, explained to us that they were chatting animatedly at around 3:00 a.m. in front of the Luis Angel Cuevas indoor basketball court, next to the Francisco Jordán public school, when suddenly a strange mist with an orange luminosity began to form in the air before them, at low altitude. That orange mist surprised them, so they observed it carefully.“Suddenly that mist ‘opened’ and a hole appeared in it and through it we saw a series of strange, very ugly creatures appear, which seemed to be mating. That was in the air, in the space between the basketball court and a Christian church there, and everything was illuminated by that orange light. We saw that and left there because we thought it was something diabolical. We were terrified.”As you can see, orange lighting is mentioned again in which fantastic figures materialize. Is this a mere coincidence?But there are more similar situations, with more interesting details. Continue reading.Last August 2023, William Benedito and his friends were again witnesses of some shocking events, but this time in the area of ​​a baseball park in the Pastales sector of the Caguana neighborhood.William and his friends went to the place to talk for a while. They got out of their car (he was driving), which was parked in front of the baseball park, and a little later they saw something that shocked them.“We noticed that the basketball court area was suddenly filled with a fog similar to the one we saw before at the Francisco Jordan school, with an orange lighting,” William told us.“Suddenly, several orange luminous spheres appeared, like the ones people call ‘orbs,’ not very large, in different points of the baseball park and then the entire park grounds were filled with the orange lighting and suddenly the normal landscape disappeared and we saw a series of fantastic, non-human creatures appear there, walking through the park grounds.”“They were grotesque-looking creatures with a body similar to that of rhinoceroses, with four legs, with heads almost without snouts, flat noses, and without horns. Their bodies looked plump, with fleshy ‘chichos’ on their abdomens. Their physique looked like a mix between rhinoceroses and pigs, large and with their flat snouts (see illustration).”According to William and his friends, one of the creatures they saw appear on the baseball park grounds was different from the rest: “That one had a different appearance - said William - it looked more humanoid because it had a body more similar to ours, to humans. It was tall and thin and... I don't know why, but we felt it was feminine.“Its arms and legs were elongated, and its head was also elongated, with its chin also elongated... and its eyes were large and black. We couldn't tell if it had a mouth or a nose. It had something like black hair that reached its shoulders.“Do you know something, Mr. Martin? Although that creature looked humanoid, I couldn't help but associate its face with that of a mantis insect. That's what it seemed to me, that it was something insectoid in appearance (see illustration).“That one, the insectoid female, as I call her, did see us, because she was looking directly at us and you could tell she was aware that we were there...and she remained calm. She seemed to have clothes stuck to her body, but I couldn't tell the exact color of her skin because that strange orange lighting covered the entire area of ​​the park and she looked the same color.“The other creatures, the ones that seemed to be animals, didn't seem to see us. All they did was walk around the park grounds, without looking at us.”The young people said that the unusual sight before them appeared and disappeared at intervals. “Do you remember what a television screen looks like when the reception is bad or the channels are not received well? Well, something similar happened,” the image came and went,” they told us.“Those things we saw there were real,” said William Benedito. “It was as if something had opened, a portal that connected our world, our dimension, with another different dimension, and when that stopped we left there immediately because we were not going to deny it, we were terrified.“All this that we have seen, together with the so-called Gargoyles and the UFOs that have been seen here in Utuado for some time, show us that something strange is happening here, something that worries me,” said William Benedito finally.Final CommentsEverything stated by the witness who took the photo in this article and what was said by the young William Benedito and his friends is compatible with the manifestation of possible extradimensional portals in the territory of the municipality of Utuado.Puerto Rico is a geographic area in our world in which for decades the phenomenon of the manifestation in our atmosphere of stellar and/or extradimensional portals has occurred through which objects or ships like flying saucers, cylindrical, spherical, etc., emerge into our reality.This type of phenomenon has also occurred on land, in some mountainous areas of our island.But along with them, others occur as described by the witnesses of Utuado, in which a mysterious red-orange fog suddenly appears in the middle of which another reality different from ours suddenly appears, a reality from another parallel world or from an alternate dimension.An area where this extradimensional reality manifests itself is the tropical forest of El Yunque. In this forest, other types of apparent dimensional portals occur, which we have discussed on other occasions, but there are also cases of dimensional fluctuations in the environment of the area when the mysterious reddish-pink or orange fog appears.This occurs mostly in an area adjacent to the point where vehicular traffic on Highway 191 is closed, above, where there is a metal tube that closes the way.It also occurs in the opposite sector, on the same Highway 191 that goes up from Naguabo to the south, precisely in the area above where the forest authorities have also restricted vehicular access using a metal beam.We know of some events of this type in that area, and even UFO researchers from the United States with whom we share data and who have visited the area have witnessed the manifestation of the mysterious reddish-pink-orange fog and how the areas of the forest where this fog appears seem to alter as long as the presence of the aforementioned fog lasts.Having these previous elements of judgment and others, we tend to think that what the witnesses of Utuado propose in the sense that what they saw and photographed could indeed respond to the manifestation of dimensional portals. Especially given the fact, as we already said, that we have personally been in the place from which the witness who took the photo took it, and we attest that in the photographed place there are no structures like those that appear in the image.On the other hand, last December 2023 several witnesses saw one night how a hole with illuminated edges appeared in the night sky of the Tomás de Castro sector of the municipality of Caguas, through which another sky was seen, from which a gargoyle-type creature flew out, after which the hole closed on itself and disappeared.Does that explain the presence of the so-called Gargoyles in Utuado and in other areas of Puerto Rico? Are they creatures that have arrived in our country through dimensional portals?Finally; If everything discussed is real, what are the implications of all this? What are these creatures looking for on the island? What will happen if the frequency of the appearances of the portals in our country increases,... and the apparent dimensional openings remain open?What do you think about all this? We have presented here some elements of judgment for your analysis of what is happening in Utuado, and now it is up to you to reach your own judgment about what is happening.SOURCE: Permission to use by Jorge Martín Miranda**********MOTHMAN COMMUNION - CONTACT BEFORE DISASTER! | Join Us - LIVE CHAT - Q & A (REMARKABLE ENCOUNTER!)PHANTOMS & MONSTERS VIDEO LIBRARYPOLL: WHAT DO YOU THINK?

"What has stuck with me all these years was not so much the height but the width/girth of this thing. It was massively wide. It looked pretty much spot on to the one in that Patterson film."I received the following account:"This happened in Greene County, Pennsylvania a few miles west of Carmichaels. This was a long time ago though, back in 1980. I was a kid, 10 years old, and with my father when we saw one. That encounter burned into my brain like it just happened yesterday.My father grew up there and we were there visiting my grandmother. About 1/4 mile down the road, one of my uncles was having a house built so my father and I decided to walk down the road to see it. As we approached the property we saw his work truck. He kept his German shepherd chained to the truck just so it wouldn’t run off when he wasn’t around. What we found odd was that his German shepherd had crawled under the truck and was whining like it was scared.We walked around the truck, about 50-60 ft away there was a small hill that was dug out for the new house foundation. My father saw it before I did, grabbed my hand, and said “Stop.” Right beside the dugout area for the foundation, there was a large tree. Standing against the tree, kind of leaning against it was one of them. It was big. It was black. It was partially behind the tree, almost like it was playing peek-a-boo. We leaned to the side to match its movement. Then it moved to the other side and stepped out in full-on view. My father picked me up, threw me over his shoulder, and hauled butt to my grandmother’s house 1/4 away.Once we got in the house he told everyone to get in the back room, he and two of his brothers hit their hunting rifles and went back to the spot. They didn’t find anything. It was gone. My uncle’s German shepherd was back out from under the truck and barking as usual. My uncles gave me and my father a bunch of crap for making up some story.Ironically the local newspaper ran an article a couple days after that about people saying they saw some kind of large creature all up and down the river that ran a few miles away from where we saw it. This was a long time ago so I can’t say for certain how big it was because a lot of things look big to a 10-year-old. If I had to put a height estimate, maybe 7 or 8 feet. What has stuck with me all these years was not so much the height but the width/girth of this thing. It was massively wide. It looked pretty much spot on to the one in that Patterson film. It displayed no aggression towards us that day. More of a curiosity.My father and I talked about it a few times over the years. He always wanted to try and find one again once he retired and had time on his hands. Sadly that never happened because he passed away recently. To this day I refuse to go outside at night whenever I visit my relatives up there. It’s hard to explain but seeing one of these things is a life-changing event."

A woman was in Turkmenistan for her job and was staying at a hotel for the time being. That first night, she fell asleep on the duvet. She awoke to the duvet moving and hearing Quranic chants in her ear!I received the following account:"Hi, Lon. I want to tell you about my experience in Turkmenistan when I was sent there for my job. I was in the capital of Ashgabat, waiting for my apartment lease to be approved by the local council, so I had to stay at their hotel. For context, Turkmenistan is also one of the toughest countries to get into, and this was post-pandemic, so even their biggest hotel that used to house dignitaries was also empty and dusty.I fell asleep after video-calling my boyfriend. I was awoken when my duvet lifted from one edge - bringing half of it diagonally mid-air and almost wavy, all while hearing chants by a male voice in my left ear in a language I didn't understand. It was so fast and rough. I tried reciting all the prayers / Quranic verses I could (I was born Muslim but I don't practice anymore) and it stopped for a short second, only to begin again with almost a mocking laughter in between the chants.At the same time, I could feel my left-hand fingers being pulled repeatedly.It ended as the sun rose. I immediately called my friend who was 3 hours ahead in timezone to just debrief and process what had just happened. I told this to some friends and local colleagues, and yes, they theorized some regional Djinns. Of course, I checked out of there that morning and moved into a staff boarding house. The most terrifying experience of my life."

"The knocking sound turned out to be that person smacking his head repeatedly into the tree and I noticed he looked like a male. He was barefoot and his arms and legs were covered with crusted mud."I received the following account:"When I was a teen I used to be in a group that's somewhat like the Boy Scouts so we spent a lot of time in the woods and some weird things happened often but most of the time it was easy to explain. One thing happened though that to this day scares the living crap out of me.I was a leader for the age group 10-13 years old and we were out on a camping trip in Nottinghamshire, UK. It was the first year we stayed on that terrain and it was huge, normally we tend to explore the majority of the terrain before the kids arrive so we were aware of any possible dangerous spots to avoid. This time it was impossible.Every camp we have what we call a 'night game,' it's usually a scary game in which the kids have to complete several tasks while the leaders scare the everloving crap out of them. Obviously, we had one too during that camp, we masked up as monsters and hid out in the woods close to the checkpoints they had to pass.While running in between checkpoints I found an open stretch of forest with little to no foliage so it was ideal for chasing after them. There was no real room to hide besides behind trees so I couldn't use my flashlight or they'd be able to see me from miles away. It was dark, like the unsettling kind of dark that plays tricks on your eyes and you start imagining things that aren't real. During my stay there I saw a shadow that was around my size running past me a few times, I couldn't see it very well so I just assumed I was imagining things because nothing was there when I turned my flashlight on.The game was nearing its end and I saw the shadow again, this time I could see it vaguely standing near a tree not too far away from me. I thought it was one of the other leaders hiding to scare kids and decided to go over there as it was about time to go back. I aimed my flashlight towards the tree and while getting closer I noticed that there was indeed someone standing there dressed in what looked like a torn burlap sack and had their head covered with a few white plastic bags that looked like they were tied together. I started to feel pure dread, something felt really off. I asked if everything was ok but they didn't respond. The only thing I heard was this weird sound that sounded like someone knocking on wood. Nevertheless, I went a bit closer until I was about 10 metres away from this person.The knocking sound turned out to be that person smacking his head repeatedly into the tree and I noticed he looked like a male. He was barefoot and his arms and legs were covered with crusted mud, his hands were in a weird cramped position. I was convinced this was just one of the other leaders pulling a prank so I told them to knock it off. He slowly turned his head and started walking towards me.Something inside me just told me to run, it didn't matter if it was just a stupid prank and I ran away scared for nothing. If this wasn't a prank it felt like I was in serious danger so I ran as fast as I could. I heard him running after me but I didn't want to turn around to look as I'd probably run into a tree.I arrived back at the campsite and every single person that could be dressed like that was already there, they couldn't have gotten there before me, and if they did they sure as hell didn't have the time to change into their regular clothes. Still, I told them and that they gave me a good scare with that. They just looked weird at me, thinking I was trying to scare them and we left it at that.The next day I wanted to go check it out, who knows maybe some weirdo ate the wrong mushroom and might be out there dying from hypothermia. I took someone else with me just in case and there was nothing but endless trees. We arrived at the tree where I saw the person banging his head and there was a dead, skinned, decomposing rabbit nailed to the tree. We called the cops, and they looked around quickly and brushed it off as just a prank from another scouting group or some kids from the nearby town and left it at that. We didn't notice anything weird after that so it probably was a dumb prank, but seriously some people have a screwy sense of humour."
