Orb-Men of Sabrevois

It was ten minutes past one o'clock in the morning on July 29th, 1976 when Ms. Bernier rose from her bed to attend one of her children. Stumbling through the dark of her house, she soon looked out of the window to be met with what she described as a '*carpet*' of white light hovering in the sky. Two nebulous critters would soon emerge from this enigmatic aircraft, and so begun the brief but bizarre saga of the Orb-Men of Sabrevois...

## The Flying Carpet

The aerial anomaly in question was described as being 50ft in length, 9ft wide and 13" thick. It appeared to be floating roughly 2ft above the ground, and Bernier could see what she took to be the '*legs of two men wearing grayish, very crumpled trousers*'. Confused and likely alarmed by this once-in-a-lifetime happening, she went to go and wake her husband - but was soon confronted by two bizarre entities stood in the entranceway. These entities were described as resembling bright globes of light stood atop '*legs*'. I am assuming that these beings were likely to have been the same ones observed close to the craft earlier in the incident.

Bernier's husband soon rose from his slumber, and while his wife fumbled around for her binoculars (the narrative seems to differ slightly between the different sources and so it is unclear what - if anything - was done about the two entities stood in the entranceway), he suddenly beheld two glowing 8" spheres formed of brilliant white light. The orbs - which were possibly intended to be the same two-legged sphere creatures - were surrounded by what was described as red 'lacework' at waist height.

These reddish trappings started to sink into the ground while the entities to which they belonged slowly began to merge into one single concentration of bright light. The fabulous light-show was quickly over, however, as the entities and presumably their airborne enigma of a craft vanished within a few seconds - leaving nothing behind but an electrical crackling in the air.

## Author's Note

I'm just as confused as you are. I couldn't for the life of me work out how many entities were involved in this case and what they were doing at each moment, and where the red 'lacework' was meant to be emerging from (craft or entities?), and what Ms. Bernier was doing while her husband was observing the two orbs, and so on and so forth. I have very little idea what to make of this case, because the two sources seem to contradict each-other and even straight up omit details which the other highlights.

The Baquedano Thing

It was late one night in June of 2000, and a security guard named Luis Alberto Calivar was on duty in Baquedano, Chile when he would have an encounter with a gelatinous aberration that he would never forget, and which would seemingly have a strikingly-bizarre impact on the man's physical health.

## The Incident

Luis armed himself with a flashlight and a knife in response to the frantic barking of his dogs outside - and soon his torch beam caught '*a dark greenish form that ran very quickly*'. The entity appeared to be climbing up a nearby Wasintonia palm, and Calivar's arm was suddenly afflicted with a weird '*cold*' sensation, causing his knife and watch to fall out of his hand. His dogs stood deadly still as a feeling of numbness overcame the security guard's body, prompting the frightened witness to run back into the shack-like security outpost in which he had been spending the night. The dogs followed him and hid, shaking in fear.

Calivar described the crazy critter as having a gelatinous body-structure '*as if it was without a solid bone structure*', and as moving around '*like a kangaroo*'. The apparently globular creature was about 1.30 metres tall and had floppy ears, as well as a body covered in green hairs '*about 5 to 6cm in length*'.

When he first caught sight of it, the creature seemed to have been crouching behind a bush - and despite somehow twisting its body around, it never looked directly him. Calivar noticed no abnormal odours coming from the entity, and incredibly felt no fear throughout the encounter in spite of both his and his dogs' physical reactions to the presence of the being. The whole incident '*lasted about 5 minutes*' and the creature remained roughly 9 meters away from the security guard.

## The Aftermath (and the Fearsome Fat-Suckers)

Soon after his brush with the unknown, Luis went to see a doctor who astonishingly revealed that he had somehow '*lost about 20 pounds of body weight*'. No medical explanation as to why this was seemed to be forthcoming. However, this final detail adds an interesting folkloric link to the encounter. Throughout South America (but mostly in the Andes regions of Bolivia and Peru), there are legendary attestations to creatures known as Pishtaco, Kharisiri, Ñakaq or Lik'ichiri - which are known to steal the fat of unsuspecting victims and later sell it as fried food. Obviously the description of the Pishtaco as a Caucasian-looking humanoid doesn't fit with the representation of this creature as a green blob-thing, but the sudden decrease in the witness's bodyweight could hint at some kind of a connection.

Angels Over Detroit

This account, in my opinion, may not actually suggest the existence of literal angels, seeing as it seems that the entities being described here are actually giant birds of some kind. Oh well, that's just my opinion.

## The Incident

The witness was driving their work truck through a storm on August 19th, 2002 - lightning was flashing, but there was no thunder and rain had not started. The witness happened to look upwards and saw what they took to be the Fisher Building - which is approximately 50 floors high and has a large glowing red ball on top. There were what looked to be birds, but they were apparently too large to be birds. They covered the ball and it appeared as if they were startled from the lightning in the storm, because they all flew upwards in a boomerang formation. There was a yellow glow as they drifted Southeast (heading towards Canada) which eventually turned reddish as the creatures moved. When the lightning hit the top of the building, the building lit up bright white. That was the moment in which the witness decided that they were seeing angels taking off. They said that they were not drinking, do not use drugs and had a restful night’s sleep before.

Creature from the Maldives Lagoon

One peaceful night in 1998, Ibrahim Ismail and several friends were out fishing in an unnamed lagoon in the tropical Maldives. The night in question was rather chilly, but the group apparently sat out there for quite a while, and eventually caught sight of another figure which they took to be a man. However, as it moved closer to them they quickly realised that their companion was anything but human...

## The Lagoon Colossus

The man-like shape was stood about 100ft away from the fishermen, however - as it moved towards them they soon realised that it was not a '*man*' and was rather a '*monster*'. They estimated it to be around 10ft tall, and they found themselves rooted to the spot with abject terror as the creature encroached on their position. Their lives must have been flashing before their eyes by the time they were able to move again, and when they were finally able to do so they bolted back towards the shore with adrenaline-fuelled speed.

Stealing glances behind them as they ran, they could see now that the oversized anthropoid had large eyes which glowed brightly with uncanny light. When the panicked gaggle of youths arrived the shore, they were presumably dismayed to see that the giant had followed them there - but this trepidation was soon replaced with relief when the ghastly apparition vanished instantaneously. Maybe it couldn't cross the threshold of the beach or something like that?

One month later, the humongous humanoid horror would once again emerge from the frigid depths to scare the bejesus out of another man who was fishing in the same lagoon. He claimed to see the creature suddenly leave the water before walking across its surface - all the while its eyes glowed in the same haunting fashion as earlier reported.
Stumped by Specs

A creature that can only be described as a vaguely-serpentine spider crab was allegedly encountered in 1959 by a diver named Bob Wall. He decided to explore the dark depths of a sea-cave that he had just noticed off the caost of Miami Beach, but would soon come to regret his decision when he was confronted with an arthropodal enigma quite unlike anything that he had ever seen before...

## The Incident

Bob Wall dove into the refreshing sea off Miami Beach in Florida in order to show some coral to interested tourists on the glass-bottomed boat 'Comrade II'. He soon noticed a sea cave that seemed to be vaguely interesting. He decided to take a peek into its shadowy expanse presumably out of nothing more than curiosity, just wanting to see if it contained anything that might be worth looking at. The source makes it seem as if he quickly caught sight of the anomalous invertebrate in question. He described it as having a cylindrical body of 1.68 meters in length, which was supported on eight, 3ft-long hairy legs. The creeping crustacean's head was said to be pointed, and to be adorned with short antennae and large eyes with brown spots at the ends of stalks. The eyes themselves were about 2 inches in diameter.

The monster, named 'Specs' due to its distinctive eyes, began to advance towards Mr. Wall, at which point he had presumably decided that there was something very much worth seeing in the cave - but didn't much fancy the thing in the cave seeing him - beat a hasty retreat.

## A Crustacean Conundrum

Dr. Karl Shuker seemed convinced that the animal in question was likely to be a large specimen of Panulirus Argus - the Caribbean spiny lobster. These creatures are found in the reefs and mangrove swamps of the western Atlantic Ocean, but the size of 'Specs' is what throws a monkey-wrench into this theory. Spiny lobsters apparently rarely grow larger than 2ft in length, and the only crustacean which even manages to come close to being 5ft long is the Japanese Spider Crab which are endemic to southeastern Japan. It seems that we are stumped when it comes to Specs. Roll credits.

Catman vs Axeman

As his breath formed a cloud in front of his face, Herman Belyea trudged home through the Canadian forest of Queens County. He soon came across a small pole fence, and nonchalantly hit it with his heavy axe before hopping over it. The tranquil atmosphere of the moment, however, would soon be shattered as five deafening shrieks issued from the dark reaches of the frozen forest...

## An Epic Battle

It was six o'clock in the evening on the 22nd of November, 1951 when Belyea's journey home was interrupted by five dreadful screams from within the forest. He only made it about 100 yards further before being stopped by another four or five chilling vocalisations. When he looked up to try and locate the source of the unique screeches, he suddenly caught sight of something leaping towards him. The shape ran for a little longer before rapidly overtaking Belyea, forcing him to stop and face his anomalous aggressor.

A blackish-grey creature stood before him, perched on its hind-legs and waving its front paws in the air before it. He described it as being at least 6ft tall, and said that its tail alone was 2ft long. Its mouth hung open, and it swiftly charged at him. Terrified, but choosing 'fight' over 'flight', Belyea swung his axe at the monstrosity. He missed the creature and then turned tails, with every intention of running for his life. The feline fiend seemed to briefly leap off back into the forest, but Belyea didn't get far before it came back with a vengeance. Once again, he stopped and swung his axe at the his enigmatic assailant, and it briefly moved away before darting towards him again. This cycle repeated several times before the monstrous man-beast finally retreated into the woods - this time for good.

A Humanoid Phoenix

Gavin S presumably had no idea that he was about to witness an entirely unique winged humanoid entity as he was walking past his local supermarket. He would encounter a being unheard-of before in the field of cryptozoology and ufology, to which the closest alleged creature would be the ancient phoenix.

## The Incident

The website ‘True Horror Stories of Texas’ received a bizarre tale from the city of Donna in September of 2017. The witness (identifying himself only as Gavin S) was apparently walking in front of his local H-E-B store. He had been walking for about half an hour and it was roughly one o’clock in the morning when he spied an anomalous avian. He described it as being half man and half bird. The creature spread its wings, which the witness said were about as long as a van, and its eyes glowed red while it did this. It took off after struggling for a bit, and burst into flames as it flew. That is all the detail the witness gave of the account, which makes me curious as to where the creature went. Did it just fly off into the night sky or did it literally burn up? You can clearly see the parallels between this entity and the ancient Greek phoenix, and although the phoenix was a bird as opposed to a humanoid, the description of a flying creature which bursts into flames sounds familiar.

Overall, I am not inclined to believe this account on the grounds that such a spectacular thing would have probably been seen by more than one person if the witness was walking in a public area, as it seems they were. However, as always I am willing to be proven wrong.

The Armadillo Man

Speaking to the ‘Expanded Perspectives’ podcast, a witness going by the initials of SB told of a unique and bizarre tale that one of their patients had related to them in their job as a hospice chaplain. The witness was obviously near the end of her life, seeing as she was under the care of SB - but her illness had nothing to do with mental issues. She had apparently relayed her story multiple times ‘*without wavering*’.

## The Incident

The witness used to live in Grassy, Alabama when she was a young mother. One day she was gathering laundry from the line when she ‘*got a peculiar feeling*’ before being confronted with an anomalous creature as it ‘*lumbered from behind a wood pile*’. It was described as a 3ft-tall white entity with stringy hair which was long enough to drag on the ground as it walked around on all fours. Its face was long, and reminded her of an armadillo’s - being hairless and ‘*smooth like bone*’. Its eyes were kind and human-like, and it never broke eye-contact with her. After getting within hand’s reach of the witness, it suddenly went ‘*flat like a bottom sheet*’ and continued to look up at her. I am slightly confused as to what this description is supposed to mean - did the creature literally flatten its body and become two-dimensional?

As any sensible person would at this point, the witness quickly moved away from the entity and backwards to her house’s door. As if the story couldn’t get any stranger, she was woken that same night to find that her baby was crying, and so when she got out of bed to tend to her she suddenly ‘*noticed the front yard was like daytime with sun shine and blue sky while the backyard was normal night time*’. Apparently the witness was a ‘*good honest Christian woman*’ who has since passed away.

La Moreneta - Religious Vision or UFO Visitation?

According to a legend first mentioned in a text dating back to 1239, an image of the Virgin Mary was found in the Santa Cova area of Montserrat (Spain) after some shepherd children observed a ‘great light’ fall from the sky, and move towards the grotto, accompanied by what is described as a ‘soft melody’. This event allegedly took place close to dusk on a Saturday in the latter parts of April of 880.
The week after this event, the shepherd children returned to the mountains with their parents – and the vision occurred again. This continued to happen for the next four Saturdays. The rector from the nearby town of Olesa was also said to have witnessed the miracle. News of the bizarre event spread, and the Bishop of Manresa eventually heard about the anomalous phenomenon. The Bishop organised a trip to visit the mountain – and both him and those that accompanied him spied an image of the Virgin Mary in the grotto that the light had been indicating. The image was supposedly bathed in light, and gave off a sweet aroma.
As would be expected, they decided to take the image – now known as the ‘*La Moreneta*‘ (Little Dark One) due to its striking colour – back to the city of Manresa. However, it grew heavier with the further they tried to move it. Eventually it became so heavy that they could not move it further than the middle of some local fields, and so they took this as divine intervention and decided to erect a hermitage – which is still there to this day. Since then, the cave has been a site of worship for many centuries, and thousands of people make pilgrimages there to pray to the Virgin Mary for help. The image of the Virgin is still there, and if you really want to you can literally travel to Santa Cova to see it.

## Analysis

As you can likely see, this story is one of the many that bridges the gap between the UFO phenomenon and so-called religious miracles observed around the world. Most of these events, if they took place today, would not look out-of-place as UFO or ‘alien’ encounters – perhaps those typical of the cult-like Contactee movement. There are many other cases that I want to add to this blog at a later date, including the events at Guadalupe and the famed ‘Miracle of the Sun’ at Fátima.

‘*Wonders in the Sky*’ by Jacques Vallée & Chris Aubeck
Don't Trust the Pansy Flowers

Mike MacDonald would go on to be a prolific filmmaker, responsible for the production and direction of numerous UFO documentaries as well as cooking television shows and a historical drama film based on a Hans Christian Anderson quote - but the inspiration for at least the formemost of these achievements might've come from a truly alien source. He had always dismissed the story as being naught more than a dream, but in a decidedly undreamlike fashion it proved capable of staying with him throughout his over fifty years of life...

## A Floral Fright Fest

MacDonald was 47 years old when he spoke to Mac Tonnie for his 2010 book on the subject of his 'Cryptoterrestrials' theory, and he said that his bizarre encounter with an entity unlike anything he could've comprehended had stuck with him for his entire life. It was one of his earliest memories - most of his recollections of his childhood were somewhat hazy, but this one was perfectly clear. He is uncertain whether or not he was dreaming or waking when it happened, but his intuition says that he logically must have been dreaming. Nevertheless, he described it as '*life-altering*'. He speculated that it took place sometime in the first four years of his life, and so if we play with the numbers a bit we can work out that the year was probably 1967.

He was stood in a cave, and there was something baffling sat before him on a throne seemingly fashioned out of rock. The bizarre entity looked to be what he could '*only describe as a very large pansy flower*'. He said that it looked as if it had large eyes in a slanted position in its face. Apparently the cover of Whitley Strieber's *Communion* shocked him deeply when he first saw it due to just how much it reminded him of the face of the pansy flower entity he had seen when he was younger.

Although the floral fiend never spoke directly to Mike, he could still feel that it was somehow communicating with him '*in a form of extreme condescension and intelligence*'. It was as if the being was inexplicably implying to the child that it was in total control of the situation, and it almost seemed ruthless and cruel in regards to how it didn't seem to care how it was affecting the witnesses. However, it didn't strike him as malevolent, but rather as a totally indomitable authority figure. By Mike's side stood his father, who was at the time a member of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. He appeared to be utterly despondent and perhaps even ashamed of something. This sight actually caused Mike much more terror than the apathy of the flower-like entity did. He was only four years old, and so seeing his '*all powerful*' father in such a hopeless state was utterly world-shattering to him.

It is then that his memories of the event (perhaps luckily) draw to an abrupt close. Mike later asked his father if he remembered anything of the Pansygeist or the rocky throne, but he replied that he didn't. Thus, it almost seems as if this event was some kind of false memory or extremely odd dream. It seems not to fit into the continuity of the witness's life like a classic alien abduction case might.
The Nickelodeon Killer

A Reddit user by the name of Cuchuflu2448 told a bizarre story in the comments of a thread about strange media which people saw in the past but can’t find today. They said that they were watching the Nickelodeon channel, and that during the commercials the channel suddenly cut to ‘*what looked like a table with bloody chains on it, amd there was people tied up and a guy wearing a mask, and all the windows were boarded up*’. There was apparently a lot of screaming in this terrifying footage, and there were bloody tools on the tables around the room. ‘*It was terrifying to watch, but it only went on for like 20 seconds*’. They were very young at the time, and although they admit that it probably wasn’t exactly like they described it, they swear that it really did happen. Apparently no-one else in the house saw it because they were all in different rooms.

## Brutal Broadcast Interruption?

I have a few theories as to what could’ve happened here. Either a particulary gruesome broadcast hijacking (but I think that this is unlikely on the grounds that someone else would’ve reported it), a dream (as another user has suggested in response to Cuchuflu’s story) or perhaps they simply sat on the remote or something, and the TV switched to a horror film? This scenario sounds like a classic slasher movie, and so it honestly wouldn’t surprise me. Obviously the Redditor may be lying about having seen this, but that isn’t the point of this blog.

Clown In The Ghost Sandown

England's history. Seemingly neither a spirit nor an extraterrestrial, 'Sam', as he is known, is truly in his own class of unidentified entities. Only one reported encounter with the being is known, a supposed sighting involving two children from Sandown, England, who interacted with the being for an extended period of time in 1973.

## The Incident

The encounter with Sam occurred in the late afternoon of an unspecified date in May of 1973 in the small resort town of Sandown, located on the Isle of Wight's east coast, when two children, one being known by the alias 'Fay' and the other being unnamed, were exploring the hills of the Shanklin & Sandown Golf Club. While exploring the rolling green hills of the course, they were alarmed to hear a monotone siren-like sound. Going in search of the source of the noise, they made their way to a small bridge where the siren suddenly ceased and a strange entity emerged from underneath the bridge.

The creature, apparently startled by the children's presence, fumbled with a book it was carrying and dropped it into the stream below. Upon retrieving the now-drenched book, the clown-like entity fled with a series of bounding hops as though the creature was experiencing lowered gravity. It fled into a windowless metal domicile and returned with a small microphone-like device. After a brief reprise of the siren-like noise (evidently a case of microphone feedback), the figure began to speak to the children. As the now-calmed children approached, the figure wrote the message "Hello and I am all colors, Sam" in a jumbled order. The children later described the creature's manner of speaking as stilted, as though it were trying to put on a ventriloquist act or talk through a stuffy mask.

'Fay' asked Sam if he was a human, an idea that Sam denied. Upon being asked if he was a ghost, Sam allegedly replied, "Well, not really, but I am in an odd sort of way." Sam began to explain that he had no true name despite calling himself Sam and that others like him existed on Earth. He expressed a fear of humans, specifically a fear that humans would attack him if he were discovered. The seemingly friendly figure then invited Fay and her friend into his hut. The hut's first floor consisted of nothing but an electric heater and wooden furniture. Sam told the children that, in addition to his hut, he had a secret campsite, but he did not disclose its location.

Sam then removed his hat, placed a berry in his ear, and lunged forward to cause the berry to reappear in his eye socket before doing so again to get it into his mouth. For the next half hour, the two children conversed with Sam, asking him questions and receiving only vague answers in return. Eventually they left and raced home to tell someone of what they just encountered. Encountering the golf course's groundskeeper, they told him their tale, but he laughed it off as overactive imagination. Disheartened by the groundskeeper's reaction, Fay waited several weeks before telling her father, but after exploring the area in which the incident occurred, he found no trace of the metal hut or Sam.
Juju Zombie on the L-Train

Although Dan lives in Portland now, he called into the talk show ‘Darkness Radio’ on March 21st of 2016 to talk about the bizarre and harrowing experience he had while living in Chicago.

## The Incident

He said that he was riding the L-Train on the way to a rock-and-roll concert, and was sitting ‘*two or three seats off from the door*’. This position allowed him to see a large African American man enter the train, but there was something very disturbing about this man. Dan had apparently worked in healthcare for 22 years, and knew the man who had walked into the carriage - but he said that he knew that the man had been dead ‘*as long as I’ve been alive*’.

Dan says that he looked up at the ostensibly undead man, and saw that ‘*his ears were sewn shut. His eyelids were sewn shut. His nose. His mouth… Everything was sewn shut*’. His hair was also described as being matted. Dan was sitting there, and his blood was running cold. He was thinking ‘*God please, let him not be for me*’. The zombie rode the L-Train for two or three stops before disembarking - leaving Dan ‘*just terrified out of my mind*’.

When he got to the concert and saw some of his friends, he talked about his experience with them, and he said that he understands ghosts to some degree, but thinks that the undead are just ‘*not right*’. It becomes clear that he was deeply horrified by his experience as he goes on to say ‘*Oh my God! There was no way you could not see it. I’m sitting there and I’m looking at it*’. He is clearly a spiritual man, saying that he was a punker (punk rocker, I think - there are several definitions but this one makes the most sense) at the time and that he had protection painted onto his jacket. He was thinking ‘*Glove to Glove, God, Gabriel, all the angels, please watch over me right now*’ just before the zombie left the train. Lastly, he also speculated that the creature was a zombie sent by a practitioner of Juju magic - which is roughly analogous to black magic in certain Creole and African practices.

Xuc and the Alux

The moon hung over the ancient ruins of the great city of Mayapán late on night in 1977. Xuc (pronounced like Chuck) was just tending to the last his duties that night as the caretaker of the historical site when he became aware of odd noises coming from somewhere near to the ruins of the Temple of the Birds. Curious, and sensing that something was perhaps amiss seeing as the site was meant to be closed to visitors past 5pm, Xuc approached the temple and was confronted with an attack by a creature that he had previously assumed to be mythical.

## The 'Mayan Pixie'

Xuc compared the sound to a machete chopping wood, and presumably wondered what on earth a woodsman would be doing in that area at the time. He unlocked the entry gate to the site and proceeded in the direction from which the odd sounds were emanating. He had just rounded the corner of the Temple of the Birds when a small clay pellet was flung from some unseen location - whizzing past dangerously close to his head.

Ducking behind a mound of fallen masonry in alarm, Xuc could now hear a further barrage of the aforementioned pellets pelting the stonework defending him from the onslaught. The rain of rocks briefly paused, allowing Xuc to take a peek out from his hiding place to try and snatch a glance at where exactly the projectiles were coming from. He was utterly flabbergasted to see a tiny humanoid silhouetted in the pale moonlight. It had a disproportionately-large head, a jet-black beard and appeared to be wearing a white huipil (a traditional Mayan garment resembling a tunic). A full-sized machete was slung over the creature's shoulder, being almost as long as the bizarre critter was tall.

What happened immediately after this is unknown, but I think it is a fair assumption to say that Xuc likely ran from the scene in terror. However, his fear didn't stop him from returning the next morning to collect the pellets that had been thrown by the entity. He amassed about eight of the anomalous objects, and they were described as being roughly the size of walnuts and as having been apparently baked to the point that they were akin to bullets in terms of hardness.

## Source

Apparently the original source for this story is an article written in *Fate Magazine* by one Bill Mack for the August 1984 issue of said magazine. He had personally spoken with Xuc in the late 1970s, and had been given the impression that he was a '*personable*' and intelligent individual. When Mack expressed some skepticism as to the veracity of Xuc's claims, the caretaker then revealed the eight pellets he had recovered. *Fate Magazine* is obviously not available online - and so I instead found this story in 'Lost Cities of North & South America' by David Hatcher Childress.
Alcoholic Apparition of Clark Alley

West Clark Alley is an unassuming little street in York, Pennsylvania, nestled on the block between Beaver and George Streets. Looking at it today, one would never imagine that it was once haunted by one of the most surreal spectres ever to be recorded in the rich annals of Forteana. I am honoured to present to you today the tale of the Clark Alley Imp!

## Hitting the Bottle

The utterly unique aberration would first appear in January of 1880, and it was said to assume many different forms - each more bizarre than the next. Sometimes it would appear in the form of a human figure putting on '*the airs of a horse-thief*', but on other occasions it would instead elect to make itself known as '*a huge demijohn on two legs*' - and '*not infrequently*' it would appear like a beer bottle, tapped at both ends, and roll around menacingly. For some reason, the residents of the alley would never pursue the horse-thief, but were known to chase the other two forms up and down the lane - despite it seemingly being completely untouchable. '*Like the will-o-the-wisp*', it would never be captured.

A few days before it first appeared, a group of plucky Victorian ghost-hunters caught sight of the apparition, this time seemingly manifesting as a young boy selling newspapers. I would've thought that this might simply have been exactly what it appeared to be, but its later actions apparently proved this incorrect. The intrepid paranormalists presumably advanced towards the creature - whereupon it immediately '*vanished in a puff of smoke*', leaving nothing behind but a scrap of paper covered in unintelligible writings. What became of this evidence is unclear, however. (HL: possible phantom stranger?)

The next time the critter showed its ugly face was when it decided to appear to a woman in King Street in the form of a slender feminine figure clad in black. South Court Alley was the next, and seemingly final according to the source, location to be visited by the amorphous anomaly. It was here that it would haunt a stable by emitting the sounds of hay being thrown around. Apparently this haunting was entirely auditory, and so it can safely be assumed that no horses were present and no hay was actually thrown around. Almost as quickly as it had appeared, the Imp of Clark Alley vanished, disappearing into the darkest depths of obscure local folklore forever - never to be seen again.

## A Quick Note

The source from which I found this story only contains a presumably-incomplete newspaper clipping detailing this story. I imagine that there are precise dates available for the different happenings discussed in this story, as well as more information about each of them. This article will probably be updated in the near future as I discover more, well-needed, information about this perplexing little case.

Robo-Walrus off Henderson Island

The first description of this bizarre event was found in the Tacoma Daily Ledger of July 3rd, 1893. A group of men were on a fishing expedition at Henderson Island off Puget Sound when they (as well as a small group of surveyors) witnessed the creature in question.

## The Incident

A loud noise was followed by a strong electric current and bright lights – and two men who touched the water were rendered senseless immediately. The creature that seemed to be the origin of the light and sound dived beneath the water at this point, but the light that shone from its body remained visible. The beast was described as 150ft (or 45.7m) long and was 30ft (or 9m) wide at its thickest point. Its head was supposedly larger than that of a walrus but resembled this in shape. It had six eyes, all of which were large and dull. The electricity that had previously knocked out two witnesses appeared to come from ‘copper bands’ encircling its body, and it flung out electrified water from hornlike protuberances on its head. In place of a tail, it seemed to have a propeller which revolved. Loren Coleman, a famous cryptozoologist, suggested that the Henderson Island Monster was an unidentified submersible object rather than a living organism. The witnesses would beg to differ. However, if it was a machine, where would such an awesome automaton have come from in the 19th century?

Harpies of Pelotas City

According to a South American journal first published in 1976, a couple of unfortunate souls had a terrifying run-in with two bizarre winged creatures while strolling along a moonlit forest trail in southern Brazil, somewhere close to the coastal city of Pelotas. At first they took the large silhouettes to be naught more than oversized birds, but as the creatures landed in front of them it soon became obvious that they were in fact something far stranger than the witnesses could've ever anticipated.

## Real Terror for Mr. and Mrs. Réal

This apparently took place sometime in the 1950s, and Lucy Gerlach Réal and her husband Luiz de Rosario Réal were the reluctant witnesses in question. The strange silhouettes were swooping around over the forest trail just ahead of them - and as they looked up into the beautiful nighttime sky they could've sworn that the shapes represented two large birds gracefully soaring through the clouds above the forest canopy.

However, the sense that these avian enigmas were anything graceful quickly evaporated when the entities came down to land in front of the couple. They quickly noticed that the creatures in question were actually much '*taller than any bird*' and that their bodies looked uncannily humanoid. While the bewildered witnesses stood there, presumably utterly dumbstruck at the scene unfolding before their eyes, the creatures seemed to crouch down as if they were trying to avoid being seen.

A decidedly uneasy feeling soon spidered its way over the Réal couple, and they both got the chilling sense that they were now being somehow stalked by the winged humanoids in question. Following their instincts, they quickly decided to flee the scene - but Luiz would later confess to regretting the fact that he didn't stay to find out about the true nature of the airborne anomalies.

Monstrosity of La Matanza

Once again, people prove that they learn nothing from horror movies. It was November of 1992, and a car was parked on a local lover's lane in La Matanza, Tenerife. The unnamed witness had parked his car at the aforementioned lover's lane, and was presumably busy making sweet love to his girlfriend under the cover of darkness. However, like in any good cautionary tale, the couple soon became aware of odd sounds coming from the forest outside the car. There was something terrifying coming their way.

## Canary Islands Catman

The noises were soon identified as, much to the horror of the couple, as branches rustling and parting outside the car as if something was moving through them. The boyfriend looked out of the window to be confronted with a 3ft-tall hairy critter with grayish or black fur. It carried a staff or rod-like instrument in its hand, and he said that it had '*cat-like eyes*'. Terrified, the couple promptly left the area and refused to return again, even after day had broken.

There are obviously plenty of reports of feline humanoids, and I have covered plenty of them in the past. Rod-like weapons are seen in uncounted numbers of UFO humanoid reports, and these wand-like objects are often used to emit beams of light and paralyse witnesses. I have also covered several cases in which these anomalous instruments are seen.

## Source

I found the information from this case from Albert Rosales, but he mentioned that it comes from Uncensored UFO Reports #1 by Scott Corrales - however I unfortunately cannot find this document and so have instead resorted to just crediting Rosales for this report. This might be liable to changing later if I correspond with Rosales.
'Jeepers Creepers' Monster Falls from the Sky

An anomalous humanoid with large wings fell from the sky in Las Milpas, Texas. There had also been an earlier report of the same sort of being wearing a trenchcoat, which suggests that it was sentient and even had a culture similar to that of humans.

## The Incident

Denise, her mother, aunt and four of her cousins were driving along the South ‘I’ Road ‘*in the height of Las Milpas, TX*’. The mother was driving the truck while the aunt sat next to her, and Denise and her cousins were in the back. Denise was looking out of the back when her mother shouted ‘*Que es eso?!*’ (What is that?!) - prompting everyone to look as the mother slowed the vehicle.

In a second, the family realised that what they were looking at was ‘*like a man with huuuuge wings struggling to fly*’. They screamed in panic and the flying humanoid presumably heard them, seeing as it stopped and fell down into the nearby forest. ‘*It was almost getting dark, but there was still enough sunlight to see what we saw*’. The entire family was in shock, and Denise kept screaming because she thought that it was going to follow them. They didn’t see its face, but they saw enough to describe it as resembling an average man with enormous wings, and said that the shadow closely resembled the eponymous monster from the ‘*Jeepers Creepers*’ film series.

This one-time sighting is backed up by Denise’s further assertion that one of her aunts saw something ‘*many years ago*’ that was similar to this entity on the Pharr-Reynosa Bridge when it jumped in front of her car at night. She told the U.S. Customs about the encounter, and their reaction ‘*seemed like they already knew about that creature*’. The aunt said that the creature she saw was wearing some kind of long jacket, which would mean that it was almost an exact replica of the ‘*Jeepers Creepers*’ monster. Denise also said that she has heard that people have seen this winged weirdo all around Las Milpas and the surrounding areas.

Apeman of Tunbridge Wells

An 8ft-tall hairy humanoid with '*demonic*' red eyes is the last thing that one would expect to find around the nice Kentish town of Royal Tunbridge Wells - and exactly this is apparently what caused a great deal of excitement among the local population on at least two separate occasions, seventy years apart.

## A Kentish Critter

It was early November of 2012 when the monster would rear its ugly head. An anonymous witness was walking home through the woods of Tunbridge Wells Common, and was nearing the edge of the forest when he was confronted by a monstrous entity that he described as being '*covered in hair*'. It had long arms and was roughly 8ft-tall. The monster roared loudly, terrifying the walker and prompting him to quickly flee the scene, according to the testimony he gave to *The Sun* newspaper. That same newspaper asserts that sightings of the furry fiend had been being reported for six months previously, but provided no other details about the supposed incidents in question.

The report of this sighting prompted another man to come forward with a second-hand anecdote suggesting that the hirsute horror had been patrolling the Common for far longer than one might expect. Going by the name of Graham S, a local painter and decorator came forward to tell *The Sun* that an elderly client of his had told him that she and her husband had seen the paranormal primate in the Common seventy years prior.

'*One particular day*' the elderly woman in question had decided to visit the Common with her husband, and the couple were sitting on a bench when they became aware of a '*shuffling noise*' behind them. Curious, the pair turned around to find the source of the commotion - and were shocked to behold a tall, ape-like creature with eyes '*burning a reddish colour*' slowly moving towards them. The entity's movements were clearly very slow - seeing as the witnesses were able to watch it for some time. They eventually became disconcerted, however, and a state of terror took over as they beat a hasty retreat.

The couple told the police and their family members - thinking that a gorilla had perhaps escaped from the local zoo - but they were laughed at and their story was not taken seriously. I guess not much has changed with regards to the public reaction to Bigfoot events in seventy years...

Pterodactyl Playground

One Mr. Fields reported seeing a phantasmal flying freak in an unnamed US location on an unspecified date. This report is so vague I don't know why the hell I'm even writing about it but whatever, it was in 'Monster! An A-Z of Zooform Phenomena' by Neil Arnold and so I'm going to write an article about it because it's got a cool name and I'm bored.

## The Incident

Fields had been spending time with a group of friends when he decided to walk home through a nearby park accompanied by a neighbour. Both were startled by a sudden crashing noise in the play area - apparently suggesting that something had collided with the swingset. They looked towards the source of the noise and were apparently horrified to see a large flapping fiend perched on said swings just 20ft away from their position. The creature apparently had a large beak and claws, and took off almost immediately after the witnesses spotted it. It had a 6ft wingspan.

## Analysis

Obviously no clarifications were given as to if this thing had feathers on its wings, and if it did then that obviously defeats the point of calling it a pterosaur. So I'm going to give this article the benefit of the doubt and assume that it must've appeared featherless otherwise it would be referred to as a 'big bird' as opposed to a pterosaur. There is absolutely no indication that this thing was actually a pterosaur, so I instead choose to conclude that it was a crane or stork. Case closed until further notice.
